Through One Writer'S speetacies
These Two Appear ms Virtues.


There Is little jealousy In all per
sons and especially in all women. II
springs from deep love. which always
desires to be first In the affection of
the one beloved. A lover. whether man
or maid, who is not susceptible TO occa-
.sional twinges of jealousy Is not truly
In love.
While jealousy. considered with ref
erence to its origin, is not an ignoble
emotion. IL is frequently absurd In its
outbreaks. A father is sometimes W
set with jealousy because he imagines
that his wife loves the children more
than she loves him. Mothers are fire.
quently Jealous Of the husbands or
wives OF their daughters or sons. Wives
become jealous of the sisters or moth
ers OF their husbands. No one is Inn
mune against the little green bacillI Of
jealousy.
Generally the tears or frowns Of
jealousy are swept away with a few
kind words and a carcss, but there are
some unhappy persons whose jealousy
is chronic and who make themselves
ridiculous and annoying by their fits
and storms Of Jealous passion. The
jealousy Of such persons is beyond rea-
son. Indeed. It IS a form of dementia
which begets every sort of violence.
Pride Is the strongest controller Of
jealousy. The theologlans reckon pride
among the seven deadly sins, but as q
mottor ~ fact pride is az the bottom Of
much OF the virtuous action in the
world. Pride Il the root Of most bray.
cry, fortitude, courtesy, magnanlmity,

the deadly sins pride Is not connected

A NAL AGAINST A NATION.
The Fylt Curious European War
y That Ever Was Waged.

The most curious European war ever
waged was that which In the sixteenth
century, the period OF the reformation
and the renaissance. was carried on
single handed for between five and six
years between bankrupt grocer OF
Berlin and the elector OF Saxony, who
was the most powerful German prince
of the period. The grocer's name was
Hans Kohlhase, and the immediate
cause OF the quarrel was the arresting
OF two OF his horses In the electors
territory. he being subject of the
elector of Brandenburg. Failing to get
redress, he adopted what was then a
perfectly legal cxpedient and declared
formal war on the realm of Saxony.
The declaration was accepted in due
form, and the war began.
The extraordinary part of the story
Is that the grocer kept the war up for
nearly six years practically single
handed and even went 10 the extremity
OF declaring war on his own sovereign
in the meantime before he was caught
He burned farms and even villages
employed mercenarIes after the fashion
Of the times ana made himself the ter
ror OF the district. He was finally in
fuenced TO stop hostillties by Luther,
and after be had taken the sacrament
from his hands he was betrayed into
further act of hostility by treachery
ana. being captured, suffered death on
the wheel after refusing an act Of
grace which granted him the painless
aud honorable death Of the sword. The
story is perhaps the strangest Of all
the romances OF that romantic age.
