terly opposed to his views Bismarck left
the council of war, walked into his bed
chamber adjoining, and was there over
come by paroxysm of tears Next
morning his depression was so great that
he was actually contemplating throwing
himself out of the open window, four sto-
ries high. Just then the door opened,
step was heard, hand was placed upon
the shoulders of the potential suicide and
Bismarck heard the voice OF the Crown
Prince saying:
You know that / was against this war
You considered it necessary, and the re-
sponsibility for It lies upon you. If you
are now persuaded that our end Is attain
ed and peace must now be concluded 1
am ready to support you and defend your
opinion with my father
He then repaired to the King and in a
shert half hour returned with the follow
ing rather ungracious concession pencil
ed on the leaf OF notebook
'inasmuch as my minister-pres:dent
has left me in the lurch in the face of the
enemy, and here | am not able to supply

opinion. | find myself reluctantly compe,i-
ed, after such brilliant victories, to bite
the sour apple and accept so disgraceful a

Peace brought with it a postponement
of the war with France. But Bismarck
well knew that it was only a postpone

gard such war as simple matter. con-

4 Petticoat Government.

Bismarck foresaw nothing but mischief
in the petticoat influence, to which tie
Prussian kings were successfully sub
jected He threw all the weight of his
great personality against it When Fred
erick ~ was Frustrated by an apoplectic
stroke. in 1888, a strong effort was made
to have the government carried on
through t&e Queen by those gentlemen of
the court who might be called upon or
might offer to undertake 1t. My par
ticipation in this plan was also request
ed verbally, but 1 absolutely refused; it
would be a government by harem." Bis
marck was the chief agency in having
the regency placed in the hands of The
Kings brother who ultimately Succeed
ed HIM as William l.
In his antagonism to petticoat govern
ment Bismarck had found a stout ally in
Gustav Won Alvensleben, afterward leader
of the fourth corps at Beaumont and Sc
dan. Indeed that bluff soldier frequently
vented his opinion, even before William
himself, 'in words that | do not want
TO repeat. but that expressed all the in
dignation of Il patriotic soldiers over la
dies playing at politics in language that
very nearly came with the penal stat
utes.
Won Alvensleben also shared Bis
marck's opinion as to the necessity of a
final settlement of the rivalry between
Prussia and Austria on the field of bat
tie. when l incidentally asked him his
opinion as to the issue of a first pitched
battle between us and the AuStrians, he
said, We will walk over them till they
stand on their heads!' And his confidence
contributed to strengthen my courage IN
the difficult decisions of 1864 and 1866
The battle of Koeniggratz justified the
confidence of Won Alvenlseben and Bis
marck. But it upset all the carefully
laid plans of Napoleon III. He had pre-
served neutrality in the hope that Prus-
sia would be defeated and in need of as
sistance Now hei threatened to inter-
fere in favor of Austria Bismarck s
counsels were all for moderation with
Austria and for temporizing W tn Franc,
He we'll knew that if Prussia followed
up her advantage by crushing Austria
she would make an inveterate enemy of
the latter and bring down upon hers elf
an immediate war with France. Both
contingencies must be avoided. Hence
he advised King William to make peace
on the basis of the territorial integrity OF
Austria f
But at frstl BiSmarck found himself
alone in these opinions. The King sup
ported the military majority which was
jealous of the president minister and Bit

THREE WAYS WITH AN ORANGE G,
BOTH FOR APPETITE AND AMUSEMENT

What mother does not remember the
difficulties In that period OF child's
convalescence when he must be amused,
but never TO the point OF WEAKNESS, when
he must be fed exactly often enough and
never too often, and with just the right
food and never q morsel of anything
else: These simple suggestions are in
tended to give help at such time.
Select an orange having flexible skin.
With pointed knife trace the form OF
a basket. Cut away the superfiuous
peel and carefully remove the pulp. The
basket is prettier II Its edge is notch
ed with scissors. Serve 10 this the lemon
Jelly made with gelstine, which Is one Of
the earliest and most acceptable things
allowed to convalescent. The effect Is
charming and Is sure to delight child
and will sometimes tempt fastidious
adult. 1t may be suggested here that
jelly made from the juice Of oranges Ia
more delicate and easily digested, and
often more pleasing to the invalid than
the sharper acid OF the lemon. The
juice Of one lemon must, however. al
ways be added or the result may be In
sipid. One little shut-in WAS so pleased
With his bright basket Of Quivering jelly
that he could not bear to part with L..
and after the jelly was eaten the basket
WAS preserved In the refrigerator for his
use, and all kinds Of pourishing portions
we're received by him With enthusiasm
from dish so interesting.
Carefully remove all the peel Of the
orange except band tbree-Qusrters of
an inch wide around the middle. Cut
this band at one point and separate the
sections from each other without detach-
ing them from the band Of peel. Rest
this upon pretty plate. The child il
yet to be seen who will not hail the at
tive yellow semi-circle with Joy and
spend long time happily in slowly de-
molishing the sppetizing little row. The
entertainment may be heightened and
varied almost without limit by an in
genious mother with faculty for story
telling, as the even line of orange quar-
tiers lends itself readily to the imagina-
ton and may be made to represent q
wide range Of things from stars In the
sky to pigs In pen.
This is for amusement only, with no
design on the appetite. Cut with pen
knife face, or rather, a most simple
outline Of eyes, nose and mouth upon
the peel of the fruit. Mount upon q
tumbler Of just the right size draped
with small dolly. Gently pulling the
napkin In one direction and another
changes the position Of the head In a

named G. l. Allea. Like every sensible
farmer. Mr.. Allen sabscribes for papers, and
one evening Is he was looking over his Show
hogan weekly his eye CHANGED to catch
reading notice which proved . BONANZA for
him and frightened up his tagging spirits
over the low price Of grain and farm produce,
and the high price Of commodities which are
necessary for farmers existence. Afarmer
reasons in his own peculiar way and he calls

himself: II want Just such Q remedy Is
Doan's Kidney Pills. II Il carries out faith
fully half what Il claims, Il will cure my lame
back. However much good may result from
one box, little or no harm can ensue." The
next time Mr.. Allen visited Skowhegan he
made some inquiries ct . drug store about
the preparation, and was informed that scores
Of people in Skowhegan and the surrounding
country had thoroughly tested Doan's Kidney
Pills and published their experience in Show
hogan papers. This was enough for Mr..
Allen. He purchased Q supply. and what
follows is his experience: "My kidneys had
trouoieo me great deal foe long time. AZ
night could not lie in bed on account Of
pain through the small Of my back. It WAS
difficult for me to stoop over or do any lift
ing. found great relief in the use Of Doan's
Kidney Pills. I Am not annoyed at night
since using them, and sleep well. My wife
was troubled with backaehe and other symp-
toms Of kidney complaint. After using
Doan's Kidney Pills, she agrees with me in
believing them to Be reliable kidney medi-

MORGANATlC MARRIAGES.

One Of the most preposterous OF all
the extraordinary privileges granted to
royalty has been that OF morgsnstic mar
riage, form Of matrimonial alliance but
little understood In the United States.
Based upon the principle that an or
binary union was impossible between
the member Of a reigning family and a
person OF minor rank belonging either
TO the nobility or TO the people, II has
been considered binding only on the In
ferior Of the two parties. but not on the
superior, who enthusiastically and legal.
" has been held free 10 contract another
union without first getting rid Of the
morgsnatic partner.
The latter has been debarred from
sharing the social status, title or priyi.
leges Of the higher born Of the two, and
he issue OF the union has been usually
subjected 10 similar disadvantages.
OF course, the existence OF an institu-
ion OF this character implied n sort OF
obligation upon members OF sovereign
or medistized houses not 10 contract
any but morgsnstic marriages with peo-
Pile OF lower grade OF society. and this
has no doubt sufiiced TO prevent many a
union between an American helress and
IN impecunious German prince.-New

STREET PIANOS.
HOW THEY ARE MADE, WHAT THEY
COST AND WHAT THEY EARN.

Street pianos, ~ possibly not every
one knows, are In principle combine
ton OF the music box and upright piano.
They are technically called "cylinder
pianos," and while formerly imported
from large factories in Berlin and Flor
ence, are now chit ny manufactured here.
The cylinder, which 10 turned by the
crank, resembles that Of . music-box
greatly enlarged and made Of wood. In
transcribing composition to this instru-
ment, q sheet Of paper Il tightly pasted
around the cylinder, which 10 placed 10 n
frame supporting keyboard consisting
OF small wooden keys, on the under side
OF which small, sharp-pointed bits Of
steel are screwed. The operator puts the
music to be transcribed on . rack In
front Of him, and proceeds to play It on
the keyboard, carefully revolving the
cylinder so as TO get the proper intervals
between the successive notes. This silent
music punctures the paper on the cylin-
der full OF holes.
Another mechanic now takes the cylln-
der and drives small brass nails In these
holes. This was formerly done tediously
with hammer, but the elder Molinari
has greatly simplihed aud expedited II
by scheme for pressing the nails In
with beam worked with tresdle. The
nails protrude about an eighth Of an
inch, and vary In shape according TO the
length Of the note To be played. Thus
qusrter-note IL represented by nail
sith head on Il. an eighth note by u
sharp-pointed tack, and succession OF
sixteenth notes by q strip OF brass
toothed like comb. A half or whole
tack. On each cylinder ten tunes are
placed, the position OF the cylinder being
slightly shifted for each tune. Once
filled, the cylinder il put into the piano
frame, where the nails release hammers
which Hy against strings as In = piano.
Street pianos are rather expensive con-
sidering the sort Of capitalists that own
them. They vary In price according to
range and brillisncy rather than the
number OF their tunes. A piano with
forty hammers costs from $50 to $50
They can be had with 81, IS and even "a
hammers, these last costing $3.50. The
psnorsmss which accompany some of
them cost from el0 10 $50 Each cylin-
WI Vps's uVm wv w Soo' OWtnk
the roughness Of their usage and the
short life Of tho popular airs, they re-
quire constant tuning and an occasional
change OF cylinders.
How these Italian street musicians
accumulate the necessary capital, II Is
hard TO imagine, but they certainly have
the art OF living luxuriously upon moth
ing year. They usually own their
pianos, and II IL very hard to rent one
without renting the owner, too. While
decent pianoforte can be rented for 81
$40 week.-Godey's Magazine.
