Early in his reign Car Nicholas
caught a bad head cold and asked q
humble subject how this annoying all
ment could be cured. The advice given
was that the imperial nose should be
anointed at night with tallow from a

amazed to find he had been charged for
pound of tallow candles every night

New that the German crown prince

the bride of Prince Eitel, the kaiser's

it will be Princess Eva of Battenberg,

a recent visit to England. Princess Eva
is quite pretty girl. just past IL years

To quote from ar authority: "War
may terminate in three ways; by treaty,
by cessation of hostilities, by conquest.
The treaty is the usual method and is
the best; for the parties OF the war can
do, and should thus settle by careful
and formal document the various issues
hat caused the war, and provide for
peaceful and harmonious relations in
the future In cases of war indemnity
and cessation or territory, treaty is
well-nigh indispensable.
In wars terminated by conquest. the
defeated state succeeds to the rights
and also the obligations of the victori-
ous Wars terminated by mere cessa-
ton of hostiiities, are very rare. The
war between Sweden and Poland in Ills
and the one between France and Spain
in 1920, ended when fighting ceased,
without formal treaty. In 1926 war be-
tween Spain and her American colonies
came to close, but it was not until Is
years later that Venezuela was recog-
niZed as an independent state. When
the hostilities between France and Mex
leo, beginning in 1912 and lasting five
years, ended, it was years (not until
