NEW SPIRIT in EUROPE.
Nations Trying to Come to an IN
Outstanding of Their Proper
s. Relations.

Reports from across the water indi-
cate that the spirit of Cancellation is
prevalent in the various capitals. A
French settled a lot of perplexing
questions for themselves when they
agreed to d treaty recognizing the
rights Of the British in Egypt and the
interests of France in Morocco, and
mutually agreeing to use all their
diplomatic influence to protect those
rights and interests, says Youths
Companion
This limited alliance between France
and Great Britain, indicating as it did
q friendly feeling between the two
powers, was one of the most important
diplomatic events in recent European
history. When Germany sought to re-
view that treaty so far as it affected
Morocco, and the conference at AL
geciras was held, the British sustained
the French as they had agreed to do,
and the Russian in pursuance of their
general treaty Of alliance with France
also voted with the. French. Thus
Russia really voted to sustain the Brit
ish rights in Egypt, and there existed
FOR the time being an alliance be-
tween Russia, Great Britain and
France
Now It is announced that the British
and Russians are trying to come to an
understanding over their respective
spheres Of influence in Persia, the
British to have the southern half and
the Russians the northern. Germany
Is LEFT out of this matter, as it was
left out OF the negotiations concerning
Morocco. indeed 1t is suspected that
one OF the reasons for the contem-
plated understanding lies in the desire
OF the British and the Russians to
check the advance of German interests
In the neighborhood of the Persian
gulf. Il
The read justment Of the relations Of
the powers Is important. The settle
ment Of their differences, and by treaty
or conference instead of by war, is,
however, much more important to
note, for it is a sign OF growing civil
ization. r 5;s Il

seemed to be Just before the ores he
had with Ursula. More than once he
was held SO long in pleasant net of
talk that he had to hurry to find his
little sweetheart. More than once he
had to repeat that GREATNESS excuse.
Ursula was neither unreasonable nor
eSacting. She was the kind of girl
who could nA suspect that the man
she cared for would flirt with any one
else. Yet as the same thing repeated
itself, and it was always Countess
Ilka whom he came from tardiIy to
claim herself, new little gravity be-
gan to dawn on her face and she
seemed to wonder to herself. Was 1t
only a chance-or was Countess Ilka
SO charming that she made people for

danced with her? yet it was a little
discomfort faint cloud on the sunny
horizon where, till now, no cloud had
reared It's head.
Supper had been the chief point Of
attraction to chaperons for some lit
tie time, and the ballroom was clearer
for dancing and more seized upon by
the devoted waltZer in consequence
The first of Ursula's extras was at
hand. Countess Ilka, watching, saw
Captain Winstanley looking about the
room from side to side. She seized her
opportunity. Her piercing look had
seen well enough this evening whose
influence was in the field against her
own and might conquer It, 1t was q
kind of combat dear to her very soul
when another woman was the foe
She stopped him with touch of her
curious Oriental fan.
MY supper partner seems to have

with a pretty little air of mock en-
barrassment. Would you do me the
great favor to take me to the supper
room? / am longing for something to

say anything else. Winstanley calcu.

care of one of her always eager part.
ners, then excuse himself and come
back for Ursula. He gave her his arm
and they made their way to the sup
per rooms; by her guiding more than
his they found their way into the more
empty one. He found COSY seat in a
secluded corner, and began to say
something about being engaged for
that dance, and regretted that he must
ask her to excuse him, when she cut
him short with a compassionate smile.

your card. But see, she is over there,
eating her supper with Mr.. FELTON,, Of
the royal yacht. I saw her come in
with him, or ] would not have asked
you to bring me-" Winstanley looked,
amazed. Ursula could never have
given another man the extra she had
promised him, or gone in to supper
without waiting for him. Yet, even as
he looked, he saw her on the other
side of the room.

Until recently it has been supposed
that there were no elm-leaf beetles
west of the Alleghenys, as this insect
was an importation from Europe. The
probabilities are, however, that it is
in existence in many places west of
the Alleghenys, but it's manifestations
do not come under the notice of scien-
fists. Within the last two years the

town hall that night, given for the To-
cal hospital. Charity balls spell mixed
society mostly, and suggest a condi-
tion Of things where people may make
up their own party and dance pretty
exclusively amongst themselves. Yet
there Is vast admixture Of fringe peo-
& Pile; girls who come from no one quite
knows where; youths with a look Of in
definite strangeness-- people the rest
look at speculatively and c,riously
There was a large party from Adj
miralty house and another from Gov
eminent house, and the heads OF de-
y partments and the self-styled leaders
Of neighboring society were there.
3 There were also little Miss Jones from
unknown regions in Southsea, and
Miss Brown from one of the big Palm
erston road shops, and young Smith
from the dockyard, and the like. The
great hall was gay with bunting and
flowers and tall plants, behind which
the band of the Red Marines dis
coursed the most perfect Of waltzes
and the liyeliest Of Washington
Posts. The high balcony was full Of
lockers on -chaperons and the elderly
and on-dancing;; the floor below was
afioat with cleaning satin and airy
t,llle, and the gloWof color and wave
OF movement.
The Government house party was in
good time. Gen. Kenyon prided him
self on military punctuality. His aide
de-caInp had a certain air Of eager
ness, had any one chosen to remark it,
as he took up his station close to the
{ big open doors. He had his card in.
N his hand, and on 1t there were a few.
scattered names--the names OF those
marked down there by duty. But the
wide space Of white that remained to
him meant to make enjoyment it's fill
erin.
He was eagerly on the outlook for
Ursula, and she was a little late. The
band was already playing an extra
lien he saw the little brown head,
with Its glittering diamond stars
4 among the stars that still came surg
Ing in. It was so unlike the usual
Southsea eagerness over It's entertain
ments to be still on the threshold when
the ball had begun, that Winstanley
had almost begun to be filled with dis
may. Now it was quite another feel

A Wife,s Reproach.

Admiral Caps, in an address to q
temperance society, told how drink
had once caused the downfall Of a
brave soldier.
In the course Of the sad story he
said:
Sometimes, after a debauch, the
man would be repentant3 humble He
would promise his wife to do better.
But, alas, the years taught her the
barrenness Of all such promises.
And one night, when he was get
ting to be an old mana prematurely
old man, thin limbed, ssoop shout
dered, with red-trimmed eyes--he said
ITO his wife, sadly:
e e You're a clever woman. Jenny; a
courageous, active, good woman You
should have married a better man
than am. dear

what he once had been, she answered
