Twin Gods of War and Melody

From the London Chronicle.
 How do statesmen get themselves into the frame of mind to declare war? Ac- cording to popular German story the method In Bismarck's case in 1866 was one that would hardly be suspected. His su. bordinate, Kendell was an expert pianist, and as Sir Mountsuart Grant Duff puts it, fused, it Is said, to fulfill toward him the function which David fulfilled toward Saul" On one evening Bismarck was un- usually moody, and Kendell surpassed himself at the piano. Thank you my dear Kendell," said Bismarck finally, you have soothed me and done me so much good; my mind is made up, we shall declare war against Austria

HaiIstorm Kills Kansas Quail
Newton Correspondence St. Louis Globe Democrat

Newton Correspondence St. Louis Globe
 Democrat.
 For nearly week the farmers and their families living a few miles south of New ton have dined on quail. In a section of country about five miles square a destruc- tive haistorm killed many scores of game birds The only place quail could find shelter was along the hedgerows which surrounded every field. The storm came at night, when hailstones covered the ground at depth of three inches. In- stinctively the farmers thought of the quail they had been protecting and in the early morning investigated conditions. Not live bird was found in the fields, but along every hedgerow scores of the birds were found dead and feasts fol- lowed.
