THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE.

Many of our young people vino read
the daily papers cannot fail to have
noticed frequent references to the
''triple alliance" In the European ca
Diagrams, and may possibly have been
troubled to know what it meant.
This country is so exceptionally for
ton and national policy, that We have
ances with any other power, and they
are unknown here except in a limited
trade sense.
But in Europe, where the nations
are separated by slight barriers and
where their interests are continually
clashing. TO form effective alliances is
the chief duty of the leading diplo-
mats.
That they are not lasting is matter
of little apparent consequence; a new
one is Immediately formed upon the
rnius of the old, and former enemies
become friends, at least for the time
being.
Within the past hundred years Eng
land has been in alliance with all the
Continental powers at different times.
In the early part of the century she
was in league with Russia against
France under Napoleon, and during
the Crimeen War she was leagued with
france against Russia, and numerous
parallel cases might be presented.
The triple alliance which Italy now
finds it difficult to maintain dates from
1888. For centuries Italy was part
of the Roman Empire, although her
great cities were republics and practi-
cally independent.
When Napoleon conquered the coun-
try he divided Italy between France
and Austria, and when he was defeated
at Waterloo the unfortunate land was
parceIed out among the native rulers
and Austria.
A struggle for national unity then
began under Garibaldi and other lead
ers with little prospect of success until
1859, and, when Austria and Prussia
went to war in 1866, the chief obstacles
in the way of uniication were Aus
tria's possession of Venetia and the
occupation OF Rome by French troops.
By secret treaty, Italy pledged her
support to Prussia against Austria,
and, when Prussia became United Ger
many, she insisted upon Austria 8
withdrawal from Italy.
There then only remained the
French troops in Rome, and there

only habitable spot in the house. And
the next morning, behold, pouring

carpets lay in the shed, the chairs

Adolphus fretted, and scolded, aud
swore (Revised Version) and finally
settled into state of ostentatious
resignation which was maddenine.
But could not blame him so much
after all-could you?
Now, in conclusion, let me give you
a little list of dOnt's from my own ex,
perience, dprOpos of our subject.
l. Don't imagine you must marry az
angel. Think how lonesome be would
be with you. Try just a plain man.
and 2. Don't expect "A man to behave
like an angel. He isn't built that way;
and 3. Don't believe man when ne tells
you that you are an angel, nine chanc-
es out of ten he doesn't think SO; and
if he does, he will soon get over it.
Don't try to do everything "the way
mother did" If he liked his mothers
housekeeping so well, he should have
stayed at home with her a while
longer.
Don't expect to keep your husbands S
love, unless you give him good din
ners. Mems hearts and stomachs are
very apt to compare notes.
Don't forget that a man has some
rights in his own house, and try to
give HIM place for the sole of his
foot, even in house cleaning time.
1t will be easy to do this by not lay
ing out too much house-cleauing in a
lump. Take one part one day and get
through with it before starting in on
more clutter. Think over and lay ont
your work Systematically and you will
be surprised to find how much cleaning
you can accomplish without turning
the house all upside down.
And lastly, remember that
ave can live without love-what is passion bu
pining? =
But where is the man that cau live y=itbou

Any number of shelves may be put

of the space required between. They
should be movable, however, and this
end may be accomplished by fastening
two ''scalloped" uprights at either end
to support n fitting cross-pIece. A
double row of small boxes or drawers
is provided for spices properly labeled,
and larger ones for tea and coffee. The
shelves offer rest for many jars, cracker
boxes, tinware, etc. 1t may be well to
add that where the -four is not put In
by the barrel, it is designed that di-
viding shelf be placed in the right hand

GRAINS AND GRASSES.
The Arkansas Worlds Fair Association
Urges Immediate Collection or
SAMPLES for Exhibit at the
Worlds Fair.

Being desirous OF making as
complete and attractive q display
of our products as possible at the
op ening of the Worlds Fair next
May, the Arkansas Worlds FAIR
Association finds that it is lmpor-
tant that there should be a collect
ion of grasses and grains in straw
made Immediately this season, as
these products will not be suffi cient-
ly advanced at the opening of the
Worlds Fair next year to admit OF
collecting them before that time. 1t
is desirable that each variety OF
grass should be cured in the shade,
tied in bundles of about six inches
in diameter and cereals of all classes
preserved in the same manner.
When shipped they should be pro
tccted by strips of wood to preserve
them in good shape, wound with
sloth and securely tied.
Unless the individual farm e1
m anifests sufficient interest to com
ply with this request, there is great
q anger that the Arkansas exhibit
w i'll be deficient in this great branch
of agricult ure.
It is very desirable that samples
of all products of the sorgum fami-
ly rs well as textile plants be pre-
served as rapidly as they mature.
All samples should be properly
labeled by the producer, giving
name ard locality, in order that
proper credit be given the grower.
The samples should be shipped
at once to NJ. +. Locke, Commits

The Fourth ut Eureka Springs.

The 4th of July celebration at
Eureka Springs was the occasion of
the largest gathering of fpeople ever
took place in this part Of the state.
Estimates pu! the number pre- ent
at from 1000 to 10000 and even
more.
The directors Of the State
Summer Normal, in their prepara-
ton for the grand celebration, had
left nothing undone that would add
to the pleasure and comfort of the
thousands OF visitors, and, to say the
least of it, it was success in all
that the word success means.
The spacious Auditorium of the
Normal, which will seat 5, 900 peo-
pie, was filled to overhowing by 10
O'Clock, while an immense throng
of people filled the streets and the
entire assembly grounds.
At the Auditorium in the fore
noon able and eloquent speeches
were delivered by the following
distinguished gentlemen: Hon. A.
Davis of Eureka Springs Prot. L e.
Phillips, Of Green Forest, Col. 1ver-
son A. Jones, of Denver, Hon. Hugh
A. Dinsmore, Of Fayetteville, aud
Gen. Powell Clayton, of Eureka

spersed with music by Blacks Mill

Georgia, the renowned lecturer, de-
liverd one of his able lecturers, his
subject being, "Manhood and
Money" The noble thoughts ex-
pressed by the world-famed lectur-
er coupled with the humor of the
witty gentleman, made his talk even
more than could have been expect
ed from man of even his reputa-
ton.

An Enjoyable Time at Mr.. and Mrs.
Pickens', 4th Inst.

Wishing to perPetuate patriot
ism and the love of home enjoy
ment, Mr.. Mike Coxsey and family,
Mrs. T. E. Phillips and family
except the Professor who had been
selected as one Of the speakers at
Eureka Spring---and G. Camps
family having been most kindly
and cordially invited by Mr.. and
Mrs. Pickens, assembled under
their hospitable roof. The pleas
ure of such fourth of July
are stereotyped upon memory's
page. 1t was indeed an oasis in
life's desert upon which fond
memory will long love to linger.
Both the hostage and hostess ex-
tended the warmest greetings to
their invited guests, which made
us all feel that we were indeed
and truly surrounded by warm
hearts and loving eyes. The warm
and true pulsation of each loving
and appreciative heart We'd with
each other in trying to make others
the bappiest, and it was truly a
success. Joy and happiness perch
ed upon each brow, the brightest
roses bloomed upon the checks OF
all but more especially upon the
checks of others. The exquisite
pleasure of such a fourth surround
ed by such pleasant associations
and by such kind and true hearted
people far transeends any other
place not excepting Eureka Springs
Ark, with all its paraphanalia and
the Rev. Sam Jones ana all his kind
thrown in tor good measure.
Last but by no means the least
was the dinner. And what grand
superb and sumptnous dinner
The spacious table was spread with
everything that heart could wish,
it literally groaned beneath the
weight of the many substantials
and the viands. 1t would have
tempted the taste of the most fas-
tidious epicure. All of US did
ample justice 20 the many good
things. Everything passed off as
happily and merrily as a marriage
bell. We had indeed feast Of
soul and flow of treason--pl tasant re-
partees were assembled all around
Every one was pleased with each
other and also will themselves.
Not even shadows shade rested
upon any of our brows. And when
we separated the kindest benedic-
tons olIowed each one from the
other. That night the party as
sem bled at G. Camps where they
had a most pleasant convivial party.
We drank nice lemonade, ate can
dies and other sweet things until
the waning stars admonished US
that it was time to call a halt and
retire into the arms of morpheus
and let sweet sleep bedew our weary
limbs.
