patch dealing at some length with the
question OF the seizures of German yes
sells by British warships. says.
1t cannot be denied that the idea e.
an anti British coalition is very popular
mere. Hopes are now placed IL Russia
Without being pessimistie, | must say
that the present Juncture is extremely
critical. As matters stand, only the
fact that II, power wishes to take the
initiative prevents such coalition from
being brought about. -
BERLIN, Jan. 9.--From an absolutely
reliable source it was learned that EN-
peror William Will make an important
and sensational speech tonight at the
century festival of the Berlin Technical
High school. His majesty's remarks
will be political, DEALING especially with
the naval question, ana will touch upon
the sensation of the hour, namely, the
seizure of German vessels by British
warships in South African waters.
In confirmation of the statement
cabled the other day, that the emperor
has become thoroughly aroused over the
continuance of British action in this re-
speet, the correspondent was informed
that he told Geheimrath Miessner, in
tones Of deepest indignation. what he
had just heard on the subject from
Count Won Buelow, adding "welche
schmaeh +"
The foreign office authorized the fol-
lowing statement:
Germany recognizes the right of
search within certain specific limits.
Among the points enumerated in the
protest filed in London: is one contend
ing that England has exceeded those
limits. No answer has yet been re-.
celved as to this protest y
On being asked wheeler it was cor
rect that JOINT action on the part of the
powers i'll the matter of the seizures
was under way. high official of the
foreign office replied that such action
might have to be taken if the seizures
did not cease.
He admitted that Russia was seeking
such joint action in regard TO the inter
ruption of telegraph communication
with South Africa, but he denied for
mally the report that Germany had
sounded Washington about the feasibll-
ity of such joint action.
This was subsequently, corroborated
upon inquiry at the United States en-
bassy.
The foreign office official ended the
interview with this significant asser
ton.
Germany will not be cont M wi
the mere liberation of the steamer G.,
eral and the other vessels seized by Brit

to understand a simple illusion that may
be produced by means of Il common wish
bone.
For making the little machine shown
in the picture ducks wishbone serves
best. Fasten a strong piece of twine
to one of the points of the wishbone.
Pass the twine To the opposite point and
fastcn it, and then carry it back to the
first prong and fasten, thus connecting
the two prongs of the wishbone by two
bits of twiae. Half way between the
prongs and between the cords insert Il
match and twist ii, turning it over uu.
til the cords are well twisted together.
Then pull the match back so that one
end Of it rests ON the shank OF the wish
bone.
Now, if you reverse the position of the
match SO that its loose end rests on the
opposite side of the wishbone aud has
to be held in place TO keep it from flying
back, your machine will bc ready for the
experiment. When you remove your re-
straining finger from the match. the end
OF the match will instantly describe Il
complete circle. as shown by the dotted
lines in the picture, but the funny part
of it is that the match will seem to cut
right through the shank of the wishbone
in order to get to the other side. You
may do the trick as many times as you
please, but the eye will never detect the
match in the act of describing the circle

The ChiIdren's Lunch.

Luncheon as n midday meal belongs TO
modern times, as it was unknown until
the present century. 1t now requires an
important place, particularly in house
holds where it constitutes the chhdren's
dinner, and yet even there frequently
meets with ineXcusable neglect in uuan-
tity, quality and care in preparation.

nation below stairs Bridget, | am 60

poor children.
Mamma shops, makes social visits and
enjoys herself generally, while Bridget,

thing will do for luncheon" serves the hun.
CRY children with sort of house picnic
pie, cake, preserves, usually the left overs
of the dinner of the previous evening,
BLESS their hearts, how they do enjoy

fects of this unwise Indulgence upon the
poor tired little stomachs and brains
She has her work to do, and it suits her
convenience as to time, therefore the
luncheon is a movable feast when mad
am is out, today at o'clock, tomorrow
possibly at 2, and so on. 1t goes without
saying that a mother who permits this

church was dark and cold and every one
gone. And there poor Beauty had to
stay for nearly two whole days, with
nothing to eat but an occasional church

One of Moznrt,n onthrcnln

Mozart, being once ON visit at Mar
seilles, went incognito to hear the per-
formance of his "Nillanella Rapita." :"
He had reason to be tolerably well
satisfied, till, in the midst of the prin-
cipal aria, the orchestra, through some
error in the copying of the score,
sounded ID natural where the com
poser had written ID sharp. This sub
stitution did not injure the harmony.
but gave commonplace character to
the phrase, and obscured the sentiment
of the composer.
Mozart no sooner heard It than he
started up vehemcntly, and, from the
middle of the pit. cried out in a voice
of thunder: "Will you play ID sharp.
You wretches?"
The sensation produced in the theater
may be imagined. The actors were
astounded, the lady who was singing
stopped short, the orchestra followed
her example, and the audience. with
loud eXclamations, demanded the eX-
