Some International Difficulties

While the world is not at pres
emit convulsed with any great wars
and the .'Powers" have on the
surface, no immediate cause for a
resort to the arbitroment OF arms,
the world is by no means at peace,
and 60 complex has world politics
become that the troubles the
smaller countries are experiencing
may lead to complications at this
time undreamed of. The most
serious affair now that the dissOlu-
ton OF Norway and Swenden has
been all but consumated on AMIGA
terms, is the threaten revolution
the Hungarians against the Aus
trian crown. The latest advices
from Hungary state that the Radi-
cal party threatens to sweep the
Moderates off their feet and rush
the country into an open breach
with Austria, and that the situa
ton is growing worse daily. The
Radicals, supported by the princi'
pal newspapers, urged the forma-
ton Of one great party under
Francis Kossuth. There is
world Of power in Hungary even
in the name OF Kossuth, and If this
proposed party is once thoroughly
organized it is difficult to see how
an open rupture con be averted.
Nor is the peace Of the world
assured in other parts. The Mo-
rOccan affair has not been finally
settled. France and Germany are
still snarling at each other and the
i'll feeling is intensified by trouble
between natives in their adjoining
provinces in Africa. France will
never be satisfied until she can

has sent me mediocre steak and am
mad about 1t don't call him up and
scold him. send the steak back and
then sit down and write n letter giving
him the very mischief for his care
lessness. When have written it I
read 1t over. have the rebuke out Of
me and feel better. Next I>tear the
letter up. The butcher gets his steak
back and knows he was careless. He
sends another one and is more careful
next time. He didn't need the calling
down. but l needed to get rid of it.
Every once in while sit down and
write notes to people telling them ex-
actly what l think of them. When
get the things l want to say off my
mind the notes are destroyed and
am relieved. That is the way l keep
