Prussia have Differed the army and flIoa
the chief posts III the administration. Frono
the "LHndrath" up to the"Regierungs-P ra,i

been in their hands. In the Ministries the
"Referendars," ''Assessors" and "Geheim.
ratLe" are recruited from the 'Junker' CHASE
They form IL close corporation, jealous of the
privileges of their class.
In the army they practically reign su.
preme. In the Corps of Guards there is not
a single officer who is not of noble birth, an
in scores of other regiments similar a~ristocra.
tic eXcIusiyeness prevails.
The qualities of The Prussian ''Junker' are
many. They are generally men of fine ply
sique, great force Of character and have a hioh
sense Of honor. "Noblesse obli9e." But they
are de eply imbueG with the feudal spirit
they are reactiouary to a man and convinced
that the salvation of Germany depends
on their being kept in their privileged posi-
ton.
Bat Germany since 1870 has become the
greatest industrial country on the Continent
Against THIS indust<jalism the '%'iunker" has
struggled and is continuing to struggle.
The result OF trying 10 dam back the stream
of progress has been the rising tide of soci-
aIIsm. Every general election for fifteen wears
past has menaced the position of the nrivj-
legged class.
And now the hour of reckoning is A.
preaching It is Known that the next geneI
election Will be the jena Of the aristocratic
party, and it aud all it's privileges may be
swept out of existence as factors in the
Government Of the state. This is the danger.
The "Juukers are still in power. They form
a solid phalanx round the Kaiser, and if no
other means can be found Of stemming the
rising tide Of liberalism but a foreign war
they i'll leave nothing undone to bring it
about.
1t is to be hoped that the Kaiser in The
present crisis will know bow to shake him
self free of this environment. But lie is very
much aIone in the heights on which the M
perial throne is placed. The chief hope that
he may hold back the catastrophe probably
lies in the strong counseIs he will receiy3

ut Tangier on Saturday. The men received
communion at nine o'clock IL the morning
and it is understood that the execution Of
the death sentences followed Immediately.
According to q letter from an officer on
board the Numancia, the mutiny was purely
political. 1t says that eighty sailors revolt
ed, and with cries of "Long live the repub-
lie y tried to take possession Of the war-ship,
but were overpowered and placed IN irons.
The government attributes the mutlny to
the |anti-military campaign which is being
carried on by the socialists and labor union

Does Germany Want War?

To The Editor OF The Herald
Sir:-The question that every one IS ask
ing is:-Does the German nation intend to
make war? The answer, IN my opinion, must
be in the negative. The German nation
does not want war.
But does this mean that there is no dan
Ger of ali armed conflict? Far from it. ]
consider thai the situation was never more
%cri,ical. The reason Tor this is that the
German nation viii not be consulted or will

The reason for this dangerous situation
lie, in the present position of German do

Trick With Sack.

the sack is again examined and found
to be the same as when it was first
seen.
The solution is when the assistant
enters the bag he pulls in about Is
inches of the rope and holds it, as
shown in Fig. 3, while the committee
is tying him up. AS soon as he is
in the cabinet he merely lets out the
slack thus making enough room for
his body to pass through. When he is
out of the bag he quickly unties the
knots and then steps from his cabinet

In France experiments have been
made that promise considerable sue
cess in submarine photography. A
specially constructed camera was car
ried down by a diver to depth of
twenty-five or twenty-three feet and
with an exposure of half an hour
negatives were obtained which We're
fairly satisfactory.
1t was found that the best results
were obtained by placing blue glass
in front of the lens. 1t is intended tc
have improved lenses specially con

made at any depth to which a divei

BEVERAGE FOR SUMMER TIME
How TO Make Tea Punch, q Refresh.
Ing Drink If II Is Mixed With
Proper Care.

Tea punch is a much used bever-
age for summer porch. tennis and golf
teas, and properly made is most re-
freshing. For a quantity of punch
make a quart of rich, heavy sugar
syrup, and while hot pour over one
cupful of orange juice, one cupful of
pineapple juice and half a cupful of
strawberry or currant or raspberry OF
cherry juice or a mixture of these II
preferred. Let stand until cool, then
add one cupful of chopped ice to thor
oughly chill. Meanwhile make one pint
of strong tea, using a mixture of Eng
fish breakfast and Orange Pekoe tea
il possible. The strength should be
given by the proportion of tea used
and not by the length of time the wa
ter stands on the leaves. Take a full
teaspoonful of tea for each cupful of
water and let this water be freshly
boiled and just come to a boil. The
utmost care must be used in making
this tea, for the success of the punch
depends upon the flavor of the tea
which should be there supporting the
fruit flavors, yet without astringency
or perhaps actual detection as tea.

AS to the Dust Belt.

How high above the world does
the dust belt go, wonder?" said Mrs.
Billtops to Mr. B. Here we are living
in the sixth floor, but the dust seems
to come in just the same as 1t would
on the ground floor; we have to keep
busting all the time You wouldn't
think it would be like that, would you
You wouldn't think that we would
have so much dust up here on this
floor? How high would we have to
go to get where you didn't have to be
continually dusting?"
And Mr.. Billtops said that as to
that, really he couldn't say; but that
when he went downtown that morning
he'd go up into some of the tall build
ings there, up twenty or thirty stories
high. and see If they had dust Just
the same up there; see If 1t was likely
that they could find any relief from
dust at home by moving up a few
stories there; and he'd let her know

to tie him up with as many knots
as they choose to make, as shown in

in a small cabinet which the commit

Tact That Made Friends,

There is on record a tale of a pinch
of snuff that turned enemies into
friends. A well-known tobacco and
snuff manufacturers son entered one
of the crack English cavalry regi-
ments, to the great disgust of the
aristooratic gentlemen and officers"
thereof 1t was privately decided to
make the intruder feel that he was not
wanted in that exclusive unit of the
service, and neat plan was formed
with that object. AS soon as the des-
sert was over and the wine was on
the rounds, on the first night he ap-
peared at mess his brother officers
simultaneously took out their pocket
handkerchiefs, and then ensued what
was more like sneezing competition
than anything else The one for whose
benefit this little hint was intended
looked around a moment in mild as
constituent before taking in the inn
port of the display Then he rose,
dignifled and calm, and with the polit.
est air in the world. Gentlemen" he
said, taking out a silver-mounted SNUFF
box, "allow me to offer you a pinch
of my fathers very best snuff" From
that moment all antagonism was at ar
end.

Color Your Own Pictures.

Some of our amateur photographers
may be interested In learning an
easy way of coloring a photograph
nicely without having first taken les
sons in drawing or painting. This is
the method: After you have printed
your photograph, and before you
mount it on cardboard, hold it against
the window, placing the picture side
toward the glass; then sketch clearly
on the back of the picture the out
lines of the parts to be colored. When
this is completed place the picture
side of the photograph against a blot
ter and apply the desired colors to
the back of the picture, keeping with
in the sketcbed outlines. Then pre-
pare mixture consisting of ten parts
benzine and one part vaseline, and
pour this over the photograph, rub
bling it thoroughly into the paper with
the finger. Do this both on the face
and back of the picture. After the
picture has. become transparent
through this process let it stand for
an hour or two, then dry it with
cloth and mount 1t on cardboard.

starch pudding, not too stiff and fla
vored with vanilla, will do. Pour this

that pour whipped cream and stick or

When your salary's gone, there's only
one way to get it-graft."
