POLITICS IN GERMANY.

BERLIN, November 25-The an
nouncement that the Reichstag cleo
tions will be held on January 18th
finds the various political parties
ready to begin an unusually active
campaign.
Indications are that the elections
will call out as unusually large per-
centage Of the voters, the people being
disconnected with various matters
The Morocco question perceptibly in.
creased the discomfort of the people
and it is evident from the columns of
many of the most loyal newspapers
that, general telling prevails that
G rmany has lost prestige during the
controversy with France.
The high cost of many of the neces-
saries of life and the refusal of the
Imperial Government to make any
tariff reductions, to admit frozen meat
from Argentina and grant other meas
ures Of relief, has further deepened
the general discomfort.
The bitterness caused by the pro-
longed controversy over the financial
legislation of 1909 also remains most
intense, and it will probably be the
most influential factor in the elections.
Although there are many parties in
Germany, it has seldom occurred that
the Government groups and the oppo-
stion parties have been so clearly
separated. On the side of the Govern
ment are the Conservative and Cleri-
cal parties; opposed to it are the Ma
tional Liberals, Radicals and Socialists
Although the three last named are
themselves sharply divided, it is GER
tain that they will assist each other
in many districts upon reballots, after
their own candidate has been elimin-
ated on the first vote
The Conservatives and Clericals will
even support each other on the first
vote in districts where they see that
they cannot possibly elect their own
man. Nevertheless it already seems
practically certain that they will suffer
a severe defeat on January 2lth.

Onstation work extends its useful
ness along structural lines Of much
greater importance than the salvation
of one staple crop, it is concerned in
the development of every branch of
agriculture and in the complete re
demption of rural life. Southern
methods of farming have long been
bad. Completely of condition makes
it hard to give a reason for this, but
to those who know the section well
numerous reasons present themselves.
The ownin of large tracts of land
without means of cultivating them,
the poor educational and social ad-
vantages of sparsely settled districts,
the alluring call of the cities to def
mite incomes and more compact life,
and the leaving of the farms to ten
ant labor of the very ignorant and the
very poor are some of the general
reasons for the impoverished soil and
bad cultivation of southern lands"

OF AN

War should be declared upon Eng
land to make it close up its barber
shops. The really good BARRIERS here,
excepting those in the dozen great
hotels, use solid chairs with no other
fittings than four legs and head rest.
At the back of this head rest there is

Difference to law a clean sheet of this
paper is pulled over the head rest for
each victim.

DIMES WITH TRAPPIsTs.

PARIS, November 25.-Miss Flor
ence Christensen of Salt Lake City
Utah, is the first American girl, prob
ably the only girl, who has ever dined
in the famous Trappist monastery at
La Trappe in Normandy. Miss Chris
Jensen is an art student in Paris and
went to Normandy for a holiday and
incidentally to paint the monastery.
1t is close to the historical feudal
tower of Briqueluc, with whose history
is interviewer the name of William the
Conguenor. A magnificent stretch Of
timbered and cultivated country, cover
ing about three square miles, belongs
to the monastery. 1t was after having
attended mass in the chapel of the
monastery that Miss Christensen re-
ceived the invitation to dine. The part
of the chapel reserved for the public
is shut off by high partition from the
place occupied by the monks. Miss
Christensen took her place near hole
in the partition and through that she
observed the long row of white
cloaked, pale-faced men fixing their
dreamy eyes on heaven, or prostrating
themselves to earth in prayer.

AS some one must communicate
with the outside world, the Father
Superior is permitted to speak. 1t was
he who invited Miss Christensen to
dine. Her host did not sit at the head
of the table and was not even in the
dining-room during the repast. A
man from a neighboring convent was
told of to accompany the solitary
guest. Miss Christensen thus de.
scribse her visit:
The room in which we dined was
long and low and somber. The walls
were hung with badly painted repre-
sensations of saints. found, how
ever, that whatever may be the monks

ing did not lack art. The dinner was
one to be remembered The cook
must be inspired. We had all sorts
of fish and fruits and vegetables and
deserts, but no meat The monks are
not vegetarians by conviction but the
rules of the order prevent them from
eating meat.
81 never thought fish could be made
into so many dishes But then the
cook now turned monk, was once as
sistant chef to the formerly famous
MaisOn Dore in Paris. And though he

Doubtless the holy man has recited
often since The Seven Penitential
Psalms to wipe out the stain of his
curiosity.
The most characteristic thing about
this order is that the voices of its
members are used only to sing the
praises of God Sometimes they chant
for three hours at a time. This gives
their voices a peculiar nasal quality.
They sleep on plank beds. No wonder
they are able to rise at o'clock in
the morning. And they sleep in the

They partake of no food until noon.
When they die they are placed on a

worn and lowered into the grave.
Their tombstones bear only their

them by their parent died when they

The community is a complete body

A THIEtiNe TARRY.
Strategic Cat Had a New Way of
 Stealing Milk.

The mystery of the disappearing milk from the doorsteps of the homes near the corner of West Wooster street and Lincoln avenue has been solved and with the solution an adept thief cat has been brought to light, says the Danbury News.
 Several/of the neighbors near that corner have been receiving little more than half of the milk they have been paving for and until the other day none of the victims was able to ac- count for the loss. It was suspected that the thieving was the work Of a man.
 When the losses continued through two weeks one resident determined to lie in hiding one night in an effort pefplexity about the thieving. On no occasion was all the milk taken from 9 bottle. The thief contented himself with taking three or four inches off the top of the bottle. Such thieving was an unheard of thing, and the victims, when one of them said he would solve the mystery ifs he lost a whole nights sleep.
 He lay or the front veranda of his home. covered with a blanket dosing throughout the night It was pretty near 6 o'clock in the morning when he reused himself at the sound of screen slipping in the parlor window. He glanced slyly about and saw the screen slip horizontally, until there was a three inch opening at one side. A large block cat the pride of the family, drew it's sinking body through the aperture and jumped down on the ve- randa.
 Noiselessly stealing along within a foot or two of it's master;~ the cat went directly to the milk bottle The man lay motionless, watching the cat. fasaT could remove the paper cover and then how the thief could get more than a few tablespoonfuls from the top of the bottle.
 The cat worked warily With one stroke of it's claws it removed the pa per stopper, slipped the top of the milk for a moment and then used the strat- esy that won for it many early break lasts and caused so much comment in the neighborhood. Resting with one paw or the top of the bottle, the cat immersed it's other foot in the bottle. Then dra wing, it out the cat licked ev- Cry drop of milk from it's paw. Within five minutes the cat had lowered the level of the milk to the point where it could hardly reach the milk.
 Had there been a watcher on the ve randa of the house next door, the cat would have been seen duplicating the feat ten minutes later.
 The stains of milk drops were found about each of the bottles that were tempered with that morning. and the thief that stole only a portion of the was diSrCNarp1
