The German government employs a

This was precisely the day on which
the cabinet councils were held al the
presidential palace, md on quitting the

mircr Of the baroness, invariably strolled
over 10 her house TO d%ejeuner. Her table
was an excellent one, so much so, indeed.
TINT the general often remained slipping
his coffee n his liqueur until 9 and 3
o'clock in the afternoon. During that
time a couple of Prussinn officers belong
ing to the headquarters staff at Berlin.
and who were attached to Mme. de
Kaula's household under the disguise Of
servants. were in the habit of carefully
perusing the contents Of the ministerial
portfolio, which the general invariably
left on the hall table or in the salon with
ais hat and gloves. S~tenoEraphic notes
were quickly made of the various docu-
meuts contained therein. and by the
next morning the German authorities at
Berlin We're in possession Of a detailed
report Of everything that had taken place
at the cabinet council held on the banks
of the Seine under the presidency of the
French republic just twenty hours pre-
%yiously.
The Italian government has ALWAYS
had a particular fouduess for intrusting
its most difficult diplomatic negotiations
to women, who, unlike the secret service
ladies of Russia, have invariably been
distinguished for their remarkable per-
soual beauty. Few, however, have
welded such power and enjoyed such
fame as did the Countess de Ctstiglionne
and the Duchess de Lltta in the days of
the TUilerics. There are many well

which led to the overthrow of the en-.
pire and the consequent withdrawal Of
the French army occupation from Rome.

tied as such To the various courts and
governments which they are destined to
influence, the services Of these petit
coated diplomats axe rated by the sovcr
eirus aud ministers Of foreign affairs
who employ them as being Of infinitely
superior value to those Of their male col
leagues.
Paid out Of the recret service fund
whichisa at the disposal Of every European
chaucellenc, their names do not appear
ON any Of the published civil service
lists. and are only known with any
degree Of certainty by "a favored few.
1t is they, however, and not the am
bassadous, who are intrusted with all the
most delicate and intricate negotiations;
their reports aud accommodations com
mand "A far greater degree Of attention
and consideration ON the part Of their
governments than those Of the publicly
accredited ministers and ENJOYS. and
whereas tho latter arc but the orua-
mental fgurchcads Of the diplomatic
representation. it is these ladies Of the
secret service who arc the handspring
and prime mover Of overy international
intrigue.
This viii hardly give rise to much sur
prise, for n Of the principal features
Of diplomacy is TO lend clever and astute
persons into believing things which are
untrue. Women arc much more SUITED
for this task than men. The talent for
intrigue, which is only acquired by men
after years Of labor and experience,
seems TO be innate in tho feminine char
actcr, where 1t frequently scars 10 tho
eminCuce Of genius Women possess,
too, n delicate tact and intuition for

Their powers Of persuasion are incom-

situations, whence n man could only

piece Of intricate embroidery on the
very fiimsiest and most diaphanous
groundwork of fact.
Some of these female diplomatic agents
are. or have been, celebrated for their
beauty and some for their ugliness. Gu
riously enough, Russia, which employs a
larger corps Of them than any other a

dies whose charms, TO put the matter

There have existed many queer super,
stitions regarding plants, but none more
grewsome than that attaching to the man
drake. The roots were formerly supposed
to bear a strong resemblance to the human
form, and are figured as such in the old

the respective roots having long hair or

scene Of some terrible crime, or where
some one had suffered the death of a felon.

obligatory service in the army that must
be attributed some peculiar ideas of
military honor, and the retention of
that universal belief among persons of

for by blood. The result is that men
