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

The Princess Bismarck, so the story
goes, changed the political history OF
France unwittingy, and but for her
the Franco-Prusslan war might never
have been waged.
Bismarck was unfriendly to France,
but the Empress Eugene 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
Tuieries.
That evening there was a grand re-
ception and Eugene received the
guests In a gown which made her SO
ravishlngly lovely that even Prince
Bismarck, German, stolld and in love
with his wife, stood and gazed upon
her with admiration. And Eugene
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 gcner-
Gus. AS she walked she showed Il
great deal of sole.
While Bismarck stood talking with
Eugene an 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 fired a can
non over the ramparts, and those who
were near him heard him shout:
"Take that for the feet of the Prin-
cess Bismarckw
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 mas been
applied only TO the finished piece, as I'm
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
ware OF that period make Its acquisi
tion extremely difficult. Sheffield plate
historically and artistically Is as worthy
Of a place beside old china and old
mahogany az IL old silverware.
In 1742 one Thomas Bolsover Of
Sheffield, England. described In the
histories as an ingenious mechanic"
accidentally fused some silver and cop
por while repairing knife. He began
plating copper with silver for the man.
ufacture OF small articles. In 1743, to-
gether with Joseph Wilson, he set up
factory for the manufacture Of buc-
kes, snuffboxes and knife handles.
Joseph Hancock soon got hold Of the
secret and, perfectlng 1t, demonstrated
that II was possible to initiate the
finest and most richly embossed silver
ware Settling in Sheffield, he started
the manufacture OF all sorts OF domes-
tic pieces Beginning modestly with
horsepower, he later added water pow
er for the rolling process. Other man
ufacturers followed his example, and
Sheffield plate soon began to replace
pewter on the tables Of the English
middle classes. Altogether we know
OF twenty-three important manufactur-
ers Of this ware.
The industry fiourished until the
middle OF the nineteenth century, and
80 few pieces Of copper rolled plate
were made after that time that they
need not concern the collector. Electro
plating was discovered or invented by
n medical student of Rotterdam, near
Sheffield, and the new process was
patented on March %, 1910. BY 1850
the new ware was on the market ev-
erywhere, and the industry had been
utlonized.-Country Life In Amer

LIVING PROOF OF IT.
How Marriage Develops the Best

Mrs. Winterbottom looked up from

him, John?" she said.
"Er-hand me them matches, will
you? My pipes out" said Winterbot-
tom.
She transferred the mound Of mend
Ing from her lap to chair, rose and,
taking the matches to her husband,
quietly resumed her work again.
"Well," continued Mr. Winterbottom,
walowing in his big chair. II told
Ascot to go ahead and marry at once.
| told him what | have always be-
lieved-namely, that nothing develops
the best traits i'm a mans character
like matrimony. Nothing, | told him,
so spendidly brings into blossom
those seeds OF unselfishness, Of self
sacrifice, that lie dormant In even the
best of bachelors. The bachelor thinks
only of himself. The married man
forgets himself in the protecting care
that he must eternally lavish upon
wife and babes. Coarse, selfish brutes
of bachelors ! have seen transmitted

BEATING THE LAW.
Sunday Travellers and Inns and Tav-
erns In Scotland

There Is law In Scotland generous
TO travellers. That law grants them
the privilege Of all taverns and inns
during prohibition hours. Thus If you
arrive in Edinburgh on n Sunday, hav-
Ing Travelled, say, from Glasgow, your
innkeeper Is bound TO serve you with
any sort of alcoholic refreshment, al
belt the native of Auld Reekie must
fret and starve his Sawbath away on
ginger ale, memories and the auroral
promise Of tomorrow. But the law Is
merciful. He that hath journeyed
three miles Is a traveller within the
meaning of the act.
Consequently there is vast array of
travellers leaving Edinburgh on foot,
on coaches, pony carriages, ETC., for
the trains run not.
They all seek to constitute them
selves as travellers. Just within the
three mile limit, as far as Edinburgh is
concerned, lies the historic village Of
Corstorphine.

He is in sore straits.

Dixie's Land.

The phrase pixie" or "Dixie's
Land" is supposed TO be derived from
one Dixy, a kind hearted slave owner
on Manhattan Island in the latter part
of the eighteenth century. His treat
ment of his negroes caused them to
regard his plantation C'Dixy's'0 rs lit
tie short of an earthly paradise, and
when any OF the slaves were taken
away from their old home they were
always pining for "Dixy's" and singing
and talking of its joys. When slavery
moved southwark. the same ideal Of
"Dixy's" was taken along. and in the
course Of time, its origin being forgot

Can We Pull Anythina7

Sir Oliver Lodge, the eminent Eng
lsh scientist, said In lecture that
there is no such thing as pulling. To
speak of horse pulling a cart was, he
said, Incorrect. The horse did not pull
the cart IL pushed against Its collar
and thereby produced motion in the
cart Similarly the oarsman pushed
the water, and the msn drawing n
handcart had TO clasp the handle, and
the driving force was caused 10y the

was fastened TO the mans coat tail he
did not pull It lie pushed against his

filed with seeds, all strung together In
a pulpy, pinkish mass. II is from these
seeds or beans, each about the size of
