Many times il has happened that q
great md costly war has been brought
about by III incident trivial and oven
ridiculous.
Thus tho war Of tho Spanish success
sion Is said to have been caused through
a glass Of watcr. A lady, Mrs. Masham,
was carrying q glass Of water when she
was INSTRUCTED by tho Marquis do Torcy.
A slight scuhlo onsUcd, and tho water
was spilled.
Tho marquis thereat took ofonse, and
bad feeling onsued between tho English
and French courts, with tho ultimate
result that a war was declared.
The campaign cost Franco many So

Malplaquot, 1903.

war that took place during the COM
monwealth Of Modena.
a soldier stole a bucket from apublic
we'll belonging to the state Of Bologna.
Although tho value Of the article did
not exceed quarter. it's annexation was
the signal for a fierce and prolonged
war.
Henry. the king Of Sardinia, assisted
the Modonese to retain the bucket, and
in one OF the subsequent battles he was
made o prisoner. The bucket is still ex-
hibited in the tower of the cathedral Of
Modena.
A third instance Of n war resulting
from q tri1ing cause was that between
Louis VII Of France and Horny IL Of
England.
Tho archbishop Of Rouen decreed that
no emo should wear long hair upon their
beads OF OhinA Louis submitted to the
decree. ~Yhereupon his wife, Eleanor,
rallied him upon his appearance. a

THEY LOVE PEACE.

But They VIII Fight 60 Protect the Queen
and Their Wives From the French.
Although no great power has been
able to find an excuse, good in diplomacy,
for interference in behalf Of the Mala-
gasy, il is not an exaggeration to say
that tho public opinion Of Europe il
unanimously opposed to the French
plans for tho subjugation Of the island.
Much sympathy for the islanders Is ex-
cited by the description Of the annual
ceremony Of tho bath received in Lon
don this week. Madagascar is not with
out her old man eloquent The primo
minister, addressing the queen, said;
I'VE will defend you and our father

French are bad and wicked. and they

wives and daughters to be taken by the
French. You, q queen and mistress,
love ponce. So do we, but not at-the
price tho French ask for it. We will
therefore resist We will fight till we
die rather than submit.
Strangers in A~ntananarivo at the an
nual feast were surprised to see the pop
ulation given up entirely to the merry
making which accompanies the bath
which the queen and all her subjects
take once year. Nobody was disturbed
apparently by the knowledge Of an in
