BISMARCK'S ANGER.
The Incident That Made Certain the
Franco German War.

The Incident That Made Certain the
Franco German War.
The Princess Bismarck, so the story
goes, changed the political history of
France unWittingly, and but for her
the Franeo-Prus war might never
have been waged.
Bismarck was unfriendly to France,
but the Empress Eugenie hoped with
her beauty TO influence him so that the
little trouble with France and Ger
many might be smoothed over. She
therefore invited the German prince
and his wife to visit the court of
France, and the Prince and Princess
Bismarck arrived in great state at the
Tuileries.
That evening there was a grand re-
ception, and Eugene received the
guests In gown which made her so
rayishingly lovely that even Prince
Bismarck, German, stolid and in love
with his wife, stood and gazed upon
her with admiration. And Eugenie
was not slow to observe the effect of
her beauty upon him. She called him
to her side, and Bismarck came, with
his wife upon his arm.
Now, the Princess Bismarck was tall
and gaunt, and her feet were gener-
Ous AS she walked she showed a
great deal of SOLE
While Bismarck stood talking with
Eugene en- audible litter was heard
along the line of ladies. Bismarck,
who was quick as fash, followed
the glance of their eyes and saw them
rest upon the feet of his wife.
That settled the matter. The politi-
cal history of France was altered from
that moment
A year later, when Paris was be-
sieged Bismarck himself fred a can
non over the ramparts, and those who
were near him heard him shout:
"Take that for the feet of the Prin-
cess Bismarck
The slight was avenged.

SHEFFIELD PLATE.
History Of This Now Very Rare and
Valuable Ware,

Sheffield plate differs from all Other
plated ware In that the plating was
done on the sheet metal before the
| article was shaped, Before and since
then plating OF various sorts has been
applied only to the finished piece, MS IN
our electroplating process, Moreover
the plating was done on copper, while
modern base metal is usually COM
posed of an amalgam of copper. nickel
and zinc.
Furthermore, II Is possible for the
collector to secure examples Of early
Georgian and so called Queen Anne
work in Sheffield plate, while the
rarity and high money value of silver,

historically and artistically Is as worthy

that it was possible to Initiate the

The industry fourished until the
middle Of the nineteenth century and
so few pieces of copper rolled plate

A REALISTIC PICTURE.
Il Proved Too Absorbing For Old Uncle
Juniper,

Juniper,
The Mississippi courtroom was pack
ed with negroes, and it was fairly
evident, says a contributor to the Tay'
br-Trotwood Magazine, that some.
thing Of unusual interest was about
to transpire. Within the bar on the
prisoners seat an old negro leaned
eagerly forward as his attorney ar
gued his plea of not guilty before the
jury,
who gentlemen Of the jury, has
sworn that he saw this man commit
this theft?" demanded the attorney,
I'VE have broken every link In the
weak chain Of circumstantial evidence
with which the state has tried to en-
tangle him. Why, his neighbor, Tom
Jones, swore that he sold him the
meat that was found in the defend
ants house and that he shot the hog
because II was wild.
'It Is true that Colonel Smith swore
that one Of his hogs disappeared about
Dec. % and that about fifty yards
from certain stump he found blood
and then followed trail Of blood from
that spot to this defendants cabin. But
what of that?
This defendant told you-and his
wife and brother swore the same-that
that was the blood of coon which he
had shot and carried home the day be-
fore Smith lost his hog. Give him JUS
tice as you would do IL he were a
white man. He cannot help being
black. The leopard cannot change his
spots nor the Ethiopian his skim For
twenty years he has been leader in
the church Let him remain free to
enjoy the bread of life with others of
the faithful"
As the lawyer sat down the women,
who had been weaving back and
forth for some minutes, commenced to
shout:

PERI
The sheriff had to thl eaten to clear
the courtroom before order was restor-
ed. When at last there was silence the
district attorney rose.
Gentlemen of the jury" he began
in closing the case for the state, II de-
sire only TO bring a picture to your
minds"
Here the prisoner adjusted his big
brass rimme,i spectacles as II to see
the picture and his manner showed
that he was determined to let no detail |
escape him.

The district attorney paused Taking
a cane to represent rife, he knelt be

moving to right and left, now raising.
now lowering his rife, he took careful
aim and then fred, initiating the noise
Of report very successfully.
At the sound Juniper, who had been

thing save the district attorneys move

A Pioneer Orchard Maker.

Johnny Appleseed." who was Johr
Chapman of Ohio, while the middle
states were still the far west, sought
out the best way in which he could
help his fellows. Believing that the
meager dietary of the pioneer mill
tated against health and efficiency, he
fixed upon a plan which, put into exc
cution, would bring joy and help to
the settlers. He spent many years
in traversing all the region about the
Ohio valley, in sowing wild and fertile
land with the seeds of fruit, especially
of apples. The trees grew apace and
their fruit formed the one sole luxury
upon the table of the pioneer. Many
an orchard to-day growing upon the
rich land of the prairies is the re-
suit of the largess of that royal
hearted humanitarian. His native
state is about to erect a monument in
his memory.
