BRUssELs, May 9.-Belgium's popu-
lace for the third time in the present
century has scared the government Into
a new and liberal policy. This, more
than either of the others. was distinctly
a triumph Of the people, and 1t is 10 be
traced directly to the fact b a the
worst paid worklngmen In western Eu-
rope, living in the most densely popu-
lated European country and honey
combed with socialism and all other
forms OF ~radicalism, have come to real
lie their power. A movement attended
with riots In the great cities OF Belgium
brought about the revolution OF 1880.
France had Just driven out her king,
and the mob Of Brussels went about
~plundering public and private buildings

The middle classes Joined In the move
ment, and Belgium was separated from
the kingdom Of the Netherlands. A pop
ular assembly vote-l74 in favor OF a
constitutional monarchy TO 13 for a re-
publlc-and the Duke OF Saxe-Coourg-
Gotha was called to the throne with the
title OF Leopold l. He was to be a royal
fgurehead with a ministry responsible
tC the lower house OF parliament. He
married a daughter Of Louis Philippe,
the ''citizen king" Of the French, and
was so popular when the French drove
out that monarch in 184s that the pep
ple OF Belgium would not listen to a
proposition Of the kings 10 resign his
crown, while a pitiful little rising by
the Democratic societies OF Brussels was
put down In a day.
Leopold II. succeeded his father In
1868. welded q daughter Of an Austrian
~archduke and in due time became the
father OF that hapless princess who is
the widow OF the suicide Rudolf. heir to
the Austrian throne. The second pop
ular triumph came five years after Leo
pold III. assembled the throne, when riot
Gus demonstrations In this city led to
the dismissal of an unpopular ministry.
The movement OF 1870 was the natural
forerunner of the recent demonstration
that brought about the universal SUI
frage, and IT marked the Belgian COM
mon peoples active cooperation In the
great continental radical movement.

OF the goods for the lower half, has two
groups OF folds on the 0ounce and a
single fold where It joins the skirt.
When the plated collars are used, they
are finished with the folds, and some OF
the skirts have the ~pipings waved on In
curved lines, shortening at the side,
where they lap with little bows.
The distinguishing feature OF the new
blazer is its 1arIng skirt aud plated
shoulder rufle. The back hangs almost
in plaits from the waist down. The
front shows both the plain and the
plated revers. An appropriate name
has been chosen for these coats, which
shows how far they have departed from
their former simplicity-the Butterfly.

Belgium is and long has been the most
densely populated European country
She maintains a population OF more
than 5000, 900 upon an area OF less than
lI,400 square miles, and her working
people are worse paid than those OF any
other country ia western Europe. Ever
since the triumph of 1870 the Belgian
masses have been working up to what
happened the other day.
The most valuable lands are 10 the
hands of the wealty few, while an old
and proud a~ristocracY has long been at
the head Of affairs.
It was these conditions that prepared
the people Of Belgium to welcome the
International and the radical propa-
ganda that went along with II. The In
ternational, a body OF workingmen
throughout the civilized world, organ
lied, as they declared, TO promote peace
and brotherhood and TO bring about 10
one way or another a Democratic social
system for mankind, grew out OF a visit
TO England by a band Of French work
inpmen at the time OF the London ex-
position almost 80 years ago This visit
was made at the suggestion OF some
manufacturers in France, and out OF II
came the international conference OF
workingmen at London In 1864. From
that came the International, and It's first
congress was held at Geneva In 1866.
The body represented almost every
trade OF European radicalism from state
socialism to wild %anarchism. The Bel
eian workingmen joined the organiza-
ton by thousands. At its strongest the
order was estimated TO have somewhere
between 100, 900 and 200, 900 members 10
Belgium.
The third congress was held at Brus-
sells In 1865. That year the troops had
10 be called out TO suppress great strikes
among the w%o:kiDgmen OF Belgium, and
the army was sengtbened. The strikes
were ascribed TO the International,
though perhaps unjustly. Two years
later came the riots that brought about
the fall OF the Belgian ministry. The
International was felt almost all over
Europe and nowhere more than In Bel
GUM. Every political assassination and
nearly all strikes were ascrioed 10 the
international. It was denounced as a
| secret body, though IS a matter OF fact
IL was not secret.
All these things working together
have finally brought about a new tri-
umph for the people, and the socialists,
who advocate political agitation rather
| than mere violence. are Ia ascendancy
over the anarchists. Every Belgian 2S
years OF age will hereafter have a vote,
and the plural voting permitted by the
new arrangement cannot long keep the
people in a minority at the polls. The
monarchy is probably safe, for the king
is, according TO the constitution, a hg-
urehead, while his interferences have
usually beer in the aid Of the popular
side. Meanwhile the triumphant people
will probably nex attack the senate,
where q property qualification for mem
bership keeps the aiistocrancy In

Pa. Awav thn sklpplnr Rope.

A skipping rope sounds very tripping
and chiIdlike and calls up visions OF
happy little girls bounding along the
highway or down a country lane in a
pretty and health-giving exercise. But
it is another case OF William Tell.
There wasn't any apple, and there isn't
any health to these future mothers in
these circling ropes, graceful and
charming as it all is. Physicians who
know say that the incessant jar OF the
jumping girl is very serious, though
slower In effect than the occasional vio-
lent result from a jumping" up to
500. So careful mothers must put
away the skipping rope.

A great many women are haoituai
sufferers from cold feet. This is very
often due to an imperfect circulation
of the blood or to same such trouble
calling for medical advice. A little
care OF the feet will often remedy this
matter, however, if it is not due to the
state OF the general health. The feet,
to be in perfectly healthy condition,
shoule be bathed every day, and they
should be rubbed briskly with a
friction towel II there is any ten
deney to chilliness. The shoes should
fit neatly, but they should not be
tight. II the feet are wet, the SHOES
should be removed at the earliest op-
p%ortunlty and the stockings changed
II they are cold, 1t is best to ruo them
With a little alcohol and water n dry
them with q soft friction towel, rub
bling them briskly to restore the clrcu-
latlon. 1t Is strange that so many peo-
pie neglect to care for their feet who
devote considerable time to their hands.
1t is quite certain that corns, ounions
and other Affections OF the feet are
more often due to such neglect than
improperly shaped shoes or any other
cause.
