The habit OF misunderstanding has
reached such alarming proportions in
France that the chamber of deputies
has now prohibited its manufacture
and sale. Already "the green terror"
as it is called, has destroyed such bril-
liant geniuses as Guy de Maupassant,
Alfred de Musset, Baudelaire and
others hardly less noted. Since 1894
the consumption has doubled. 1t is
now estimated at ten million sixty
thousand quarts year. The drink was
forbidden in the army some time ago,
and the radical action of the chamber
of deputies shows how serious the gov
eminent considers the case of the peo-
pie themselves.

The Work of Congress

This session of Congress bids fair to
be one of the most fruitful and eff
cient short sessions on record. TrsuaIIy
the short session is entirely occupied
with the necessary appropriation bills,

any other measures of importance. In
fact, the attempt is seldom made. At
the beginning of this session. However.
there were certain things which the
Republican leaders resolved should be
done, and which the President had
recommended, and which events are

The most pressing measure was the
bill for the reorganization Of the army.

Wauwatosa news. [volume] (Wauwatosa, Wis.) 1900-1948, 1901-03-02

Curiously enough the great mass Of
Englishmen knew little or nothing of the
sovereign as their ruler. They had only
the yaguest idea of the part she took i'll
the government of her realm and her PEG
pie; they knew practically nothing of the
controlling and dominant force she excr-
cised in international and domestic poll
tics. But about this they cared nothing.
II was sufficient for them to know that
she was good woman, a woman whose
heart always went out to her people,
who shared with them their joys as well
as their sorrows, who was keenly inter
ested in everything that could make them
better and happier. And perhaps more
than anything else was the knowledge
that she was woman who had suffered
much, whose heart had been sorely
wrenched. and whose spirit often tried.
and yet through it all she had remained
serene. hopeful, always an example for
right living, always an inspiration to the
weary and the afflicted. Perhaps that
was the real secret of the devotion which
she inspired in Englishmen the world
over.-A. Maurice Low in Harper $
Weekly.
