Government Control.

Mr.. Altgeld, in recent speech, was
very quiet about silver, but aggres.
sive about the WORKOUT plan OF gov
eminent control OF national monopo
lies, the railways, ETC., etc. While
some people seem disposed to advo-
cate government paternalism, there
comes from Germany some reasons
why paternalism is not wholly a
success there. A curious case OF
boomerang legislation is the latest.
The Prussian landowners recently
decided that the Berlin Produce Ex-
change was the sole cause of all their
woes, and the government was in
duced to establish certain restrictive
regulations relating to grain broker
age. The members of the Produce
Exchange therefore concluded that it
was not worth their while to keep
open their place OF business estab-
lished by law. Some private bust
ness in brokerage was also closed out
by order of government, as illegal;
and just as the farmer aristocracy
began to think their triumph COM
plete, and they had no further use for
middlemen or brokers, they found
they had bitten off their own noses
to spite their faces. AS the Produce
Exchange had closed its doors, there
were no official quotations, and each
farmer was forced to accept the prices
current in his own neighborhood,
which were made by local dealers at
lower figures than if the Exchange
had been allowed to continue bust.
ness without interference. The hopes
of some unreasoning reformers often
sadly miscarry.

Like gen'rous flood from winter snow
Full, swift and strong. nor lightly bent

The clear horizon stretching wide.

Now, while I have my settled con

been any brutality at our house.
Some Of our boys received corporal
punishment at rare intervals. Others
had none-not stroke, except u
spank or two from their mother.
Like most parents, we thought that
other peoples children needed moro
than ours. But even the punish hment
they did get they have not forgotten
and still talk of it as big thing.
Now, as to the girls, of course
they should not suffer corporal pun
ishment in the schools. In the first
place, they do not need it. Secondly,
if they did, there is no natural and
suitable place to receive it, and if
there was, it cannot be found with

THE ORIGIN OF EASTER EGGS
A Very Pretty German Legend.

Germany is tho home Of the
Easter egg. Other lands, Of course,
have them, but nowhere arc they
SO beautiful or SO freely bestowed, =,
or used in so many lively games.
On Easter morning in Germany
there is always great excitement
over the colored eggs and sugar
eggs, and painted eggs and eggs
with presents inside found in the
nests the children have prepared,
and every little one you meet will
be saying, ooh, just see what the
dear little Easter Hare has brought
me! !" No one seems to be quito
sure where this idea started. Some
say it camo from the old days Of
heathen- worship. But / have heard
a wise German scholar tell this
story, and he says that it is be-
lieved by most thoughtful people
among the Germans:-
Many hundred years ago there
lived a good and noble woman
whose name was Frau Rosalinda
Won Lindenborg. In those days a
cruel war was laying waste tho
land, and she had to fly from hor
home in the dead Of night, with her
two children. At first she knew
not whore to 60, but her old serv-
ing-man begged her to go with him
to his own people, who lived in q
little mining village away, hidden
in the Harz mountains. SO the
noble Countess put herself in his
care, and his brothers and sisters
were very kind to the poor wander
ers, took them in and gave them
the best they had. But the best
they had was very poor, and, at
first, the daintily-rcared woman
and children came near starving.
There was no meat, no fish, and
not even an egg: and this last for
the good reason that there was not
a single fowl in the settlement.
| These domestic fowls that seem so
common to us, and that we see
everywhere, at first came from the
far East, and had at that inc only
been seen in large cities and towns.

IT IS WAR.
Tho Turkish Council of NIInisters IIavo so
Declared.

Constantinople, April 17.-The
council of ministers, after q session
at the paluce today, declared that
war had broken out on tho frontier,
owing to the incursion by the Greeks
on Turkish territory, and Edham
Pasha, the Turkish military COM
mander, was ordered to assume the
offensive. This announcement of
the actual existence of state Of war
on tho frontier was at first misunder-
stood, reports that the council Of
ministers had declcred war upon
Greece being widely circulated.
1t was also reported that the coun-
Gil of ministers had decided to re-
call Assim Bey, the Turkish minister
at Athens, and gave passports to
Prince Maurocordato, the Greek
minister at Constantinoplo. These
reports of the severance of all dip
lomatic relations between Turkey
and Greece having been decided on,
q circular issued expresses the hope
that the powers, in spirit of justice,
will agree that the entire responsible
ity for the war falls on Greece.
Turkey has no idea Of conquest, the
circular note adds, and as a fresh
proof of pacific sentiments, the sub
lime porte offers to retire the Turk
ish troops on tho frontier if Greece
will retire her forces from the fro ,tier
and from Crete.
FIGHTING.
Elassona, April ia fierce battle
betH cen Turks and Greeks has been
on all day. A correspondent who
left Turkish headquarters hore this
morning arrived at Karyia three
hours later. The battle was then
proceeding. Tho correspondent was
enabled to watch the fighting from
points near the tent of Edham Pasha,
commander Of the Sixth army corps.
The Greek force evidently regular
troops, crossed the frontier at 3
o'clock yesterday evening, advanced
at an carly hour this morning. The
Greeks were engaged by four bat
talions of Turkish infantry, and after
sharp fighting were driven back to-
ward the frontier. The Greek forces
then took up position on the crest
of several hills and the combat was
resumed - 10 o'clock. At an inter.
val of two hours the Greeks renewed
the attack.
The Turks stood on the defensive,
though suffering a considerable loss.
The number of killed and wounded
Turks cannot be ascertained, but tho
correspondent saw 4S Turks wound
cd brought to the rear, with the
bodies of five officers. The other
dead were left where they fell.
The Greeks appeared contented
with occupying the position taken on
the crest of the hills and maintaining
a heavy fire from it without advanc-
ing, but preventing Turks crossing
the frontier.
Edham Pasha, the Turkish com
mander, received dispatch from
tho commanderin- chief saying that
Il general advance Of forces had been
ordered for tomorrow, war between
Greece and Turkey having been de-
clared. The news was received by
the Turks with shouts of "Long live
war"
Edham Pasha is now holding a
council of war, expecting that
great battle will be fought tomorrow.
The Turkish troops are eagor for a
general engagement.
The weather continues cold.

GRANTS ACHIEVEMENT AS A pEAcEMAKER.
The honors and attentions shower

tour of the world arc, perhaps, un-
equaled in the history of kingly hos
pitality. He was received everywhere
as the greatest soldier Of his time and
as the foremost living American. Hon.

panied Goneral Grant throughout
his famous journey, graphically ro-
calls, in tho May Ladies' Home Jour
nal, it's conspicuous incidents: the re-
ceptions, dinners, fetes, balls, ETC..
given in honor Of the illustrious
American. 1t is said that Mr.. Young
brings to light fact that has re-
ceiyed but passing attention: that
General Grant was instrumental in
arranging the terms of a treaty of
peace between China and Japan,
which prevented an outbreak Of war
between those nations.

Lind and her homo life has boon pre-
pared by her daughter, Mrs. Ray

said to be filled with interesting
memories Of the famous singer, and
is noteworthy also as being tho first
view we have Of her through the
eyes of her adoring daughter. Mrs.
Maude brings to light the fact that
Jenny Lind was always nervous and
overstrung before events-just be-
fore singingin new opera of oratorio,
but was quite calm when the very
moment of action arrived.
