SECOND WAR WITH FRANCE.
The Grand Duchess and Some News
paper Extracts.

The rapidity with which France was
repairing the disasters of the war and
the ease with which she met the finan-
cial obligations it imposed on her as
tonished Europe and perturbed the
statesmen at Berlin, says the Quar-
terly Review. Her military force was
being judiciously reconstructed and it
seemed also as if the calculations OF
Prince Bismarck, as regards the con-
stitution of her internal government,
might be falsificd. The German chan
cellor desired to see established what
Russian diplomatist happily described
as a republique dissolvante. Notwith
standing his efforts TO bring this result
about and the impracticable character
of the Comte de Chambord. which rem
dered the restoration of monarchy for
a time impossible. there were indica-
lions that a stable system of govern
ment would be founded. which would
enable France TO recover a strong po-
sition i'm the community of nations.

A most interesting feature OF their
life is the way in which they punish

To which he invariably responds with

are punished? Chiefly profanity,

times imprisoned the verdict is three
days with a diet of bread and water

manded. Upon the release from prison

districts in New York to try the eXper-
iment of governing themselves.
Such a political economist as Jere-
miah w. jerks has stated that he feels
convinced that 1t is an experiment
which is not merely profoundly inter-
esting, but also very valuable from the
scientific point of view. Furthermore,
that Mr.. George is conducting the plan
on what seems TO be sound educa-
tiOnal basis and he hopes that the re-
public can be allowed to develop nat
urally along the lines on which it has
run so far.
1t has passed the experimental stage
and is the most practical scheme which
has yet been devised for helping the
poorer classes. 1t teaches the children
respect for themselves and respect for
law, the value of money, and how to
earn it. If one visits the republic with
the idea that it is a toy republic one
becomes quickly undeceived upon an
introduction to il. The children, rang
ing between the ages of twelve and sew
enteen, are in dead earnest. They lit
orally govern themselves. They have
their own legislature and make their
own laws. Provided the newcomers
do not like the laws, Mr.. George
merely says. Change them, then, il
you do not like them" And they pro-
coed to change them in the usual way.
What could be better than such an OPP
portunity TO study the government of
their country upon which they are en-
deavoring to model their own. They
return to their homes with far
greater knowledge Of law than has
been acquired by their parents during
their whole lives.
Up TO this period of its development
Mr.. George has found it best to keep
the power of veto in his own hands,
but so admirably have the miniature
men and women prepared their bills
that seldom has their chief executive
been compelled to prevent enactment
Of any measures passed by the legisla-
tive body. and upon a recent visit it
was learned that even so important a
position as the presidency was to be
turned over to the boys this summer.
Senators" and members of the house
and congressman were running" for

as their elders do No such perpleXing
problems as the present financial one,
however, agitates their minds. Their
bullion is tin, and they have a single
American standard which they coin
themselves. And ii goes long way.
For if one takes twenty-five cents of
American money to their bank, one
receives in return two dollars in tin
money which is just eight times greater
than ours. 1t is somewhat star Ting 10

MrLApY is MILKING COWS.
Is the Latest Fad In society-NovsI and
Fetching.

Society's latest fad, IL we may believe
report, says milady is milking cows for
amusement and charity, says the New
York Herald. At certain fashionable
country seat the hostess, who is much
interested in parish work, invented, or
rather inaugurated, this fad for chart
table purposes, with the result that so
ciety has taken it up and for the mo-
ment the Holsteins and other breeds
of cattle are wondering what on earth
Is the matter. BaZaars may net consid-
cradle for the church, but to see dainty
daughters OF society in picturesque
costume or evening dress sitting cn the
lawn milking a gentle-eyed cow Is so
great a novelty every man for miles
around will come and buy a glass OF
milk for sweet charity's sake, thereby
swelling the receipts for milady's pet
work. What the COWS think of * can
not be recorded. Their expression
would lead one to suppose theY feel

some trepidation, however, thas the

the COW looked around or switchee hel

pected the pail to be kicked over. Or
