Modern War Preparations.

The fact is, as far as we know or can
see, observes the New York Evening Post,
the government has been doing and has
done its best, in the time and under the
circumstances. 1t must be remembered
that we have begun what may yet turn
out a long war, without the preparation,
which, considering what modern warfare
is, made even military men nervous as to
the result A little story told of Moltke
in 1870 may serve to give an idea Of what
they have in their minds when they laugh
at US. When the war against France was
declared, a staff officer brought him the
news and woke him up to receive it at ,
in the morning. He simply said, "The
first portfolio in the second drawer of
my table," and then promptly turned over
and went to sleep again. This portfolio
contained all the instructions that We're
necessary for what is called in military
technology the "dislOcation' of the army,
so ready was everything in every depart
ment. The movement of every regiment
and division and corps was provided for.
The route Of every commander was
marked out. By the time Moltke had
risen and dressed, the mighty host was
marching with the precision Of the most
deadly science, to that astonishing series
of victories which in two months had laid
France at Bismarck's feet The army,
too, was ready from cap to shoes. This
is what military men in our day cali
preparation for war; 1t took years to
make,

Was Never "A Time When the Excessive Use
of Liquor WAS Infrequent.
''The men and women interested in or
gained temperance work in this country
are, on the whole, very worthy people,"
writes Edward W. Box in the May La
dies Home Journal. They are sincere,
energetic and well-meaning. But some
times they lack that nicely and wisdom
Of judgment which is absolutely neces-
sary IN organized effort in order that the
surest success may be won. They some
times, unfortunately, allow their zeal to
run away with them. This tendency was
recently shown in one of their official
statements which bewailed the startling
growth of intemperance in America dur
ing the year 1897. Many good people, to
whom the circular containing this state
ment is sent, will be prone to believe this
assertion. They have not the means at
hand by which to verify such a state
ment, and will be made uncomfortable by
it, whereas, in reality, exactly the oppo-
site is the truth. There has never been
time in America when every indication
pointed so strongly to a decrease of in
temperance as the present. There has
never been so little drinking as at pres
ent, and never such a strong tendency
toward moderation in quarters where al
coholic indulgence is general This is a
fact impossible to controvert, because the
most careful figures bear out this very
hODpful statement -

The Popularity Of Violet.

'There is practically but one perfume"
said fashionable chemist the other day.
I'VE sell more violet fifty times over,
than all the other perfumes together"
Every imaginable toilet preparation is
now perfumed with violet. Not only the
sachet powder, the toilet water, and the
soap, but tooth powder, nail salve and
cold creams, for massaging the face, all
are favored with the omnipresent violet.
1t may be a surprise to many persons to
know that most violet perfumes are ar
tifcial. That is, they are formed by com
pounding chemically certain clements
Violet perfume may be extracted from
the flowers themselves, but 100 pounds
of viOlets produce only one ounce of the
finest extract. The beautiful Valley of
Grasse, in the Alpes Maritimes has hith-
ertO yielded the worlds supply of violets.
In Paris. violet, as a color, is the success
full rival of green, and both hats and
bodices are exactly the color of the blue
spring hyacinths. The latest novelty in
the capital is soft, thick violet-colored
flannel, which exhales the most delicious
perfume This flannel costs the neat lit
tie sum of 40 francs a yard. Not less
than a quarter Of yard will be cut into
small strips and sewed into Innings of
sleeves, waists and skirts, and into the
crown Of hats and Of bonnets. The odor
from it is, perhaps, the most exquisitely

A Royal Marriage Away from Home.

Now that an example has been set /
suppose we shall have flood of royal
marriages on the Riviera. Princess Alex
andrine of ecklenburg-Schwerin and
Prince Christian Of Denmark met at the
Villa Wenden, the winter quarters of the
grand ducal family at Cannes and they
became betrothed there last spring, short
ly before the tragic death of the grand
duke. This last postponed the wedding
and meanwhile the Princess was invited
to visit Copenhagen and meet the royal
family OF her future spouse. She charmed
them all by her brightness and piquancy
She is only is, seven years the junior of
Prince Christian
The wedding OF a direct heir to the
throne is usually celebrated at his own
home, but this custom has been ignored
because of the fact that the bride is still
in mourning for her father. He was the
Grand Duke Frederic, and her mother
the Grand Duchess Anastasie Michail-
ovna of Russia. Christian is well known
to US here, for he is the nephew of the
Prince of Wales, being the eldest son of
the Crown Prince of Denmark He was
best man to his brother Charles
when the latter married the Prin-
cess Maud. He is an enthusiastic soldier
and fond Of athletics. The wedding will
be very quiet one and will take place at
Wenden, which, with its magnificent
grounds is one of the finest places in the
California quarter. The Prince of Wales
will be present.

DIVERSIONS OF ROYALTY.
Some of the Games with Which Reign
ing Crowned Heads Play.

Many of the crowned heads turn to
games in these days for relaxation from
state cares. The Emperor of Germany
turns frequently to tennis for sport, and
he has constructed one OF the best-ap-
pointed tennis courts in the world at the
castle Of Morbijon. 1t is appropriately
decorated and the Emperor himself super
intended the building, as he understands
the builders trade. The Car of Rus
STA is a master hand at the game Of
ieralache or Russian whist, which is like
our whist, except that there are no
trumps.
The Emperor of Japan, of course, pre-
fers the national game of go" Schools
for the study of this game are established
in Japan, and several periodicals are de-
voted entirely to the subject. Queen Vic
toria prefers brettspiel, German game
resembling backgammon, which she
learned from the prince consort. The
Princess Beatrice has taken up lofting,
new kind of golf game; she is also a CAPT
lal golf player, and belongs to several
clubs, to which she presents valuable
prizes The Princess. Victoria of Wales
is skillful hockey player.
The Archduchess Elizabeth of Austria
takes her athletics in the form of long
tramps with her mother. The King of
Snain's pet pastimes is kite fighting, q
contest between two kite flyers to see
which can capture or disable the others
kite. game called the knights Of
SPAIN is also another one of his
sports. The young Queen of Holland is
devoted to badminton and her bicycle.
The Queen of italy has reputation as a
pedestrian; for relaxation she turns to
chess.
Queen Christina of Spain is an expert
fencer and a good piquet player. Piquet,
or picuuet, has been known in Spain
since the early ages under the name
cientos. Bowling is the favorite recrea-
ton of Queen Olga eff Greece. She is
also quite devoted to games of solitaire,
particularly the one called st. Helena,
which is played with two packs of cards,
poleon in exile on the island of ST.
Helena.

The policy of this country regarding for
