France and Austria were at war, a war
ended by the treaty of Vienna, by
which treaty France cat last got firm
hold of the much desired Lorraine
country" In the Seven Years war, an
alliance, chief members of which were
Austria, France and Russia, waged war
against Frederick the Great; q result,
Prussia rose to the front rank of Eu-
ropean powers. From 1925 Prussia
and France were at war.
When revolutionary France stirred
the nations to enter into the Alliance
of the Great Powers, discussions and
jealousies broke the strength of the
union. Meantime the French, with an
energy and determination, which, con-
sidering their unparalleled difficulties,
were truly heroic, had assembled near
ly a million men," During the Napo-
leonic reign, we find the Germans in
the first coalition of the continental
powers against France; and in the
fourth, Prussia, Russia England and
Saxony stand against the man of ambi-
ton. In the sixth, Russia, Sweden,
Austria, England and Prussia are to-
gether; Napoleon loses the decisive
battles of Leipsic and Waterloo Prus-
STA had been reduced to a second-ra 9
state, but by the peace of Vienna it got
back nearly all it's possessions.
After the Franco-German war of
1901, Prussia became the main state
in the new German empire, and France
had to give up what is now known as
the imperial German province of Al
sace-Lorraine. The territory coded
consisted of Alsace less Belfort, and
the fifth part of Lorraine
Trance of late has endeavored to
pacify rather than arouse Germany,
and 1t was due to German opposition
to M. Delcasse in the foreign Office that
this statesman was replaced by one
acceptable to Berlin. But French
meekness seems to have had it's day,
the number of Frenchmen increasing
that demand less conciliatory atti-
tude toward Germany; "the old French
military spirit is not dead. Tho old
French military virtues have nos dis
appeared from the land"
And to-day france IS not isolated, Is
not unfriended. To-day English and
French show strong disposition to for
get Waterloo, the ancient gvudge is
softened. But the Franco-German
grudge is not likewise scftened, Alsace-
Lorraine not forgotten.
What has the United States to say
in regard to settlement of the Moroc-
co question, considered as an interna-
tional affair? Our government may,
basing her claims OH the fact that 1t
was she that "single-handed made war
upon the Barbary states, wiped out
piracy in the Mediterranean, and con-
Guided the first treaty of any civilized
nation with these states" declare she
has a right superior to that of any
European country.

The Fashions of the Day

follow no one tashion-and Is 1t not
true that the American woman Is
building up AZ individuality of style
that bids fair to lessen the prestige
of the lcng-ruling Partisan?
We have recently had a peep at
spring models, and, though it is some
what early to talk of fashions that are
to bloom late in the spring, we feel
tempted to let fall word or two
anent soGn-to-be shown designs. There
are to be some very smart walking
suits of the three-piece order, the fea'
ture that skirt and waist match and
that the jacket is a separate affair;
for instance, there will be shirt-waist
suit of brown and blue check, the
checks small and neat, and worn with
this a acket of either blue or brown,
the whole making for harmony rather
than sharp contrast.
Brown, that color whose beauties
are from time to time. brought for
ward, is now much to the fore as
trimming. 1t has been found that 1t
serves about as we'll as black to re-
fine and tone down, and this year we see
women wearing brown hat with
pale blue gown, with the old-rose SO
fashionable now, and with prunes and
plums and reds, touch Of brown with
the peacock tones, is the height q
fashion, and fancy may have started
with the rage for brown fur trimming
that has marked the season at the
French capital.
Again tempted to refer to spring
fashions, we would speak OF the fact
that there are going to be some very
attractive long-coat suits in silk. In
the same breath we would mention
that the short Elton coat will lead for
wrap and other costumes. In cloth a
long redingote is pretty heavy and
burdensome, and save in silk it will
not be so popular as it has been.
Silk is extensively used for trim
mings; the plated fEtlls are new and
pretty; there y a liking among dress
makers to MAKE sleeves. girdle and
yoke of wool gown Of another fab
ric, and silk is preferred above others

costume than this cannot be had; with
little changes here and there, it will
do for any hour of the day or even
ing.
The graceful wrap here pictured is
one of those ever-available possessions
plain enough for day time, elegant
enough for evening; for carriage OF
for walking, although too cumbersome
for a very long tramp. But it is
very desirable wrap to own.

The dairy COWS should be allowed to
go dry for period Of six weeks be-
fore calving, says Prof. G. L. Beach,
of the Connecticut experiment sta
ton. The foetal growth at this time
is quite rapid and calls for a liberal
supply of nutritive food. If the cow
persists in giving milk, the tax upon
her system is so much the greater.
The ration should contain plenty Of
protein rather than much fats, and
also be we'll supplied with mineral
matter. Nothing is better than pas
ture grass, and in winter, clover hay
with bran and middlings are best. Oats
and oil meal are the best concentrates
at this time.

A gallon of cream, if well SKINNED

three and one-half pounds of butter.

with that idea in view. They are cut
to have little fullness in front and
to fit in the back, the sleeves should
have considerable fullness at the
shoulder. The new lingerie waists are
very lovely, and all signs indicate
they will be popular for a long time to
come. A very pretty one is made Of
white crepe de chine trimmed with
Valenciennes insertion and frills and
large medallions of other lace. EN-
broidery on sheer net is pleasing
novelty in the way of trimming for
these waists, and another variation is
contrasting delicate color; pale pinks
