The Great Powers Ready For the Spark
THAT WIN Set IL Afame.
After the dreadful Franco-G German
war Of 1901 the principle Of prolonged
military service and Of diminished an.
nual contingents was given mp. The
.monstrous principle Of universal service
was adopted instead. BY this principle
the whole nation 10 under arms.
A country is no longer q country; a
people 10 no longer apeople; nation Is
now nothing but an army, and q coun-
try is only q barrack. Everybody Is sur
le qui vive. IL war breaks ont today,
all professions become deserted, all func-
tions abandoned; the life OF the nation
stops, so that national activity may be
said to begin again only with the blood
that is shed.
Moreover, before two hostile armies
that is, two nations when they are enc
mies-join in combat each Of the two
armies-that is, each of the two infinite
hordes which traverse their several
countries to meet eventually ON the
field Of battle-will leave behind IL a
country in famine, its factories silent
and it's trade paralyzed.
Again, enormous stocks Of food sup.
plies must be accumulated ON the from
tier where the two armies are likely to
meet, but before reaching these mex.
'haustible magazines the army must be
fed while crossing their own territories,
and that requires money. So that be-

A Professor Whose Medicine Was Most If

dent to go with him to zee ID. The pa
tient was o oma Before entering the
room the doctor carefully explained the
disease to the student and told him that
he had sent the woman some medicine
the night before which he was confident
would help her. He explained the COM
position Of the medicine, told what par
ticular combination of drugs would ben
eft this disease and then entered the
sickroom.

"Oh, Doctor" replied the patient,

woman. IT do feel very much better. y

Thank heaven tho birthday Of her

plain mister" of q British citizen. and
I should fear, were ! knighted, that my
readers would suspect me OF being actu-
ated rather by gratitude than by sincere
admiration whenever I felt called upon
to praise her majesty's advisers.
Not indeed that ] object to any one be-
ing knighted III this adds 70 his pleas

least has the advantage Of not descend
ing TO the SON Of the gentleman who be-
comes q ''sir." was discussing the
other day with a friend OF mine who
had declined the honor whether il was
an advantage to a parliamentary candi-
date or the reverse. He oontended that.
such is the inherent snobbism Of the
Anglo-Saxon race, the advantage is con-
siderable. There Is o certain amount OF
truth in this.
Although not myself DESTROYS of be-

the queen many happy returns OF the
day and trust that she may have many
other occasions to confer birthday hon

does not include me ever In the distri-
button. We must judge OF ~sovereigns
by sovereigns, and certainly the queen
has been the best monarch that has sat
upon the British throne. The unreason-
ing loyalty that elevates q sovereign
into a sort of divinity has disappeared,
and the institution of monarchy is now
judged very much On the merits or de-
merits of the incumbent OF the throne.
The queen enjoys a personal popularity
which must be far more gratifying TO
her than the abject sentiment that leads
free men to grovel before a crown,
whether Ii be on the head OF the vilest
or the best of human beings. What !
object to in monarchy Is not SO much
the monarch-when, as with us, the
sovereign reigns, but does not rule-but

brings into existence. Charles III was

lectables said the other day. you
wouldn't expect a California olive
grower TO get rich when his olives are
sold at a little more than the cost of the

in the olive trade. Down in the Genesee
valley there are great fruit farms. There
is one grower who has 80 acres OF plum
trees, 1000 of them now bearing.
Each one yields three or four bushels of
green plums. The plums are olive
shaped. They = picked when green,
sold to q buyer who puts them In fancy
labeled bottles or in kegs, and they are
sold for olives. They SO much resemble
the genuine that no but an epicure

be drawn into fence wire without any
cleaning or annealing. After the final
drawing the wire is finished in various

Criminals Change Their Faces.

Surgery's discovery Of q way TO oblit-

in locating well known criminals. BY
these operations the whole character of

changed by a few deft jabs OF a lancet.
