Reasons Why the Kaiser Cut

CALLED BACK TO BERLIN
Germnny VIII Take a Firm Neutral
Ground, But Will Wntch Sharply
for Her Interests.

Berlin, Nov. 19-Kaiser Wilhelm, who
has been kept thoroughly advised of
events in progress throughout the domin-
ions of Europe, had most excellent rea-
sons, It Is declared in diplomatic circles
here. for cutting short his cruise on the
Hohenzollern and making haste 10 re-
turn TO the German capital
The Emperor. il is asserted, was assur
ed from many sources that at this par
ticular time ii would not be advisable 10
waste time in sentimental journey TO
Spain.
Such practical affairs are in that condi-
tion OF progress as to require the ruler of
Germany 10 abandon his maritime pleas
ure jaunt and attend 10 duties that await
him here.
There is not an iota of doubt among
German diplomats all over Europe that
Great Britain is almost on the very edge
OF war with France and Russia. There
has been so much smoke in the European
political atmosphere within the last few
weeks that no one can deny the pres Sence
OF a smouldering fire beneath the ser
vice that must before long burst forth
into fierce flames. 1t is questionable if
Germany will be involved in the confla-
grafton She will certainly at first as
sumo an attitude of stern neutrality but
her interests in the Far East are to be
protected and in an armed discussion of
the issues between the Lion and the Bear
~ in, \,
tive necessity for big German fleets in
the immediate neighborhood of coming
contests
In diplomatic circles here it Is openly
declared that the German government is
impressed with the conviction that a
three-Sided war is a certainty France
of course, goaded as she has been by the
Fashoda incident, small as that may be,
comparatively speaking, will join with
Russia in the conflict. England is not in
a waiting mood. She proposes to act in
the present in defense of her asserted
Eastern rights. Russia and France will
not be allowed to take another step in
their advances in that section of the
globe
In the midst OF all these ant.cipations
of strife the Cars recent appeal to the
world for peace and good will seems to
have been whist.ed down the wind as a
commercial notion that can never bear
fruit. 1t served to tickle the fancies of
little states who have no ideas of ever
going to war with any countr;' and to
cover up the activity of the empires who
while petitioning for the blessings Of
peace, are busiiy at work increasing ra-
vies, mobiliZing armies and mailing with
iron their strong hand for a conflict that
when begun may not be ended b fore tn.
advent of the next century.

WIVES AND WORK.
How French People View the Sub
jPct.
(From the Philadelphia Inquirer.)

(From the Philadelphia InqUirer.)
What is the French view of the ques-
tion as to whether wives should work?
have endeavored to ascertain from con-
versations with average Frenchmeu and
FrenchwOmen what they think of this
subject. II is difficult for other people
to realize how thoroughly the French
woman often identities herself with her
husbands interests. Not only among
the shOpkeepers, great and small but also
in a higher business class. is this con-
spicuously the case. While the wife in
the ordinary 'magasin'' is not seldom to

money and keeping the accounts. her
watchful eye. moreover. directed on as
sistants and customers. SO that the mans
share in the work Is almost a sinecure
she is in multitude of Instances the
trusted and appreciated counselor of the
merchant. the manufacturer and the fl
nancer.
That the average FreRchwoman has an
excellent head for business and is pre-
pared in times of trial with ready sug-
gestions of ways and means is a fact
which has long been recognized.
In connection with this matter must not
be overlooked the host of women who
have Won diplomas Placing them in a
position to teach Yet what has been
the result? 1t is notorious that there are
thousands of these poor creatures unable
o obtain employment. so that cruel and
hitter disappointment has gone hand in
hand with learning.
Hence we return to the acknowledged
fact that, whereas the French wife may
be and commonly is a precious auxiliary

tiOns. she dees not strike out. and never

CRIPPLES TAUGHT TO WORK.
Denmark's Institution of Untold
Blessings.

(From IT, Philadelphia RecOrdN
In the little kingdom of Denmark is
charitable institution which COufers IN
tcld blessing Yet until recently it was but
little known. Ii is the Society for the
Education and Assistance of the Crippled
and DeforTned. Here patients OF both
sexes, unable To care for themselves. are
treated and taught some trade, the prin-
ciple of the society being that every in
diVidual, however defOTmed or crippled.
should be enabled to at least partially
provide for himself. This takes away
from these unfortunate persons the sting
OF feeling that they are a burden TO the
community. Wherever possible the trades
taught the cripples are selected TO suit
their own taste. Girls are taught knit
ting, crocheting. sewing. cutting daruinE,
weaving and making passementerie Boys
learn brush and basketmaking carpenter
ing. wood carving and shoemakiug.
Where the individual ability is limited on
account of bodily shortcomings. special
apparatus is invented TO suit Special
cases. so one boy paralyzed on both hands
and feet has been provided with made
to-order apparatus permitting him 20
make brushes with his lips. The apParI-
ius is quite ingenious 1t shows what
practical. inventive charity can do One
armed girls are trained 10 knit by means
of a very simple machine. and even little
girls are taught TO make themselves use
full at a novel washing machine made of
brushes within rectangular frame. The
training seldom takes more than the
twelve-month course for any individual
and when discharged from the institution
the pupils receive their tools or the appa-
ratus built for them free. to enable them
to earn their own living without compeIl-
ing them to the indignity of begging.

DIET AND SUICIDE.
Wrong Eating viii Make One Tired
of Life
(From the Boston GIobe.l

tf4om the Boston t1-Ohe-l
DR.. Haig is of the opinion that suicide
may be traced TO error in diet error
being the eating of meat. the drinking of
beer and of tea, and the smoking of to-
.baccO. His facts all fall comfortably in
TO their places in support of his hypothe-
sis. Are there not more suicides among
men than among women, and do not men
consume more meat. more beer and more
tobacco than the women? Again, suicide
Is more common in England than in Scot
land, not apparently because the Scotch
are more canny race, but because the
English eat more meat and drink more
beer. while the Scotch eat less meat and
drink whisky instead OF beer. says the
Hospital. After maintaining that suicide
was less common among the Scotch il
was perhaps hardly polite, when address,
ing a Scotch audience. TO go on TO say
that suicide increased. with civilization
But the fact was explained on the ground
of more injurious diet that of civiliZ a,i

and thus of suicide than that which pre-
walls where civilization is less advanced
Uric acid is, in fact, at the bottom of all
this and, according to DR. Haig the Incl

annual and life fluctuations of uric acid
in the blood. being commonest when uric
acid is most abundant, namely in the
mornings in spring and in summer. and
in childhood and the full prime of life
We have no doubt that errors of diet
are responsible for much, and among
other things, for a certain number of sui

nit that unsuitable diet arrangement of

with that ill-temper and discomfort which
