Paris, Aug. 1S.-The French lines
are closing in on Saarburg. -.
The war Office announced that the
army which is invading Lorraine now
controls Albreweiser, six miles south
of Saarburg; Agdoudange, seventeen
miles directly west of Saarburg, and
Salons, which, previous to 1874, was
an important fortress.
The French are in force along the
Lorraine border west of Saarburg
and the advance column is made up
of cavalry, infantry and artillery.
The French also control all of the
upper Vosges, having taken other viii
lagos in that vicinity. The French
losses are heavy, but it is stated that
they are less than the Germans, who
are slowly falling back in the face of
determined assault.
Advancing All Along Front.
The French columns are advancing
all along the line. in Alsace-Lorraine,
with serious fighting reported.
The French columns are now on
the offensive, but are meeting a much
more vigorous German resistance
than marked the early days of the
war.
1t is considered a general engage
ment, covering a good position of the
frontier inside of the German lines,

twenty-four hours before the main
armies can be brought into action.

and 1t may be that these high waters
will eventually be populated with the
best of our finny tribes.
AS it is now Titicaca has two varieties
that are especially fine. One is a little
fish with an oily flesh that is almost bone
less Another is somewhat like the sar-
dine,~ ranging in size from SIX or elgnt
inches to that Of a whitehall This is
called the bogus. It runs in great schools
and is caught by the Indians in nets,
much like herring. These fish are cured
by means of ovens built OF the little
powders gathered from the shores OF
the lake. The ovens are heated with the
droppings of the llamas as fuel until
they are red hot. They are then thrown
down and the fish are built up in layers
of hot stones First there is a layer OF
hot stones and then a layer of fish. Next
comes a second layer of hot stones and
then second layer of ish. The pile GOES
on upward until the whole catch is one
mass of steaming flesh. After the fish
are thoroughly cured they are carried on
the backs of llamas to La Paz and otner
faraway markets.
The boats now used by the natives
mon Lave Titicaca are called balsas.
They are exactly the same as those which
were here when the Spaniards conquered
the country, shortly after Columbus dis
covered America They are made of GER
tain reeds that grow near the shores in
the bed of the lake. These reeds reach
height of ten or twelve feet, and thick
ness of a mans finger. They are gath
cred by going out in a boat and using
long pole to which a knife is attached.
This is thrust down to the root of the
reed, so that it cuts the reed free from
the bed of the lake. The reeds are car
ried to the shore and there bound with
strings of long grass into rolls which are
often fifteen or twenty feet long. The
rolls are sewed or tied together, forming
the sides and bottoms Of the balsas.
These boats are shaped like canoe.
They have a beautiful curve, and their
walls are so formed that they extend out
at the top to keep the water from splash
ing in. Many of the balsas are so large
that donkeys, llamas and mules are fer
ried in them from port to port about the
lake, and even across the lake from one
side to the other. The boats are pro-
PEELED by sails made of reeds. They are
also pushed through the water by poles

Duchess Marie Gabrielle. the fourth
daughter of Duke Charles Theodore of
Bavaria, the famous royal oculist, is,
by the bye, one Of those who are most
ardently anxious that his five spinster
should ego off" as the saying is, for
his royal highness does not at all like
the idea of having to MAINTAIN them

Modena, who left his money and his
Tivoli chateau to Archduke Franz Ferdi-

retirement in Austria he developed an
idiosyncratic hatred of marriage. This

sad blow to Ludwig and his wife, for
both are poor. 1t brought out in Marie
Therese the latent hereditary prejudices
that marriage is a sad, bad, wholly
unnecessary thing.
So Adelgunde, Hildegarde, Wiltrude,
Helmtrude and Gundelinde never got a
chance. They were reared without male
companions, forbidden to dance and hlrt,
and were never taken to foreign courts.
When rare welcome royalty from
Vienna came along, Queen Marie Therese
hustled Adelgunde, Hildegarde, Wiltrude,
Helmtrude and Gundelinde out of sight.
You see the result.
The tragedy is that brave King Lud-
wig, himself without anti-marital preju-
dices, never saw what was happening. He
does not see it now. He is pleased to
have about him his full CULVER of little
girls and he expects in vague, profess

are light when dry, but after they have
been in use about six months they be-

boats are no longer safe. They are torn
to pieces and the reeds are dried and
used for roofing the mud huts that form
the homes of the people. The reeds are
also used for making bridges. ropes and

trude, Helmtrude and Gundelinde fright

The real causes why Adelgunde. Hide
garde, Wiltrude, Helmtrude and Gunde-
linde have not married are the wholly
unmatchmaking qualities Of both King
Ludwig and Queen Marie Therese.
Brave King Ludwigs idiosyncrasy Is to
think that all his ten offspring-there are
three sons-are still children. He has
been too busy to notice them growing up.
Ludwig Is a learned man and an indus
trious man: he is a doc. oeconom. publ
Of Munich University, and he knows
more about wheat growing and canal
cutting than other sovereigns know about
stars and garters. But his views on hus-
bands and children are not worth cent,
and his professional observation-disclosures
goes to extremes. So, though princess
Adelgunde has some premature gray
hairs, Ludwig treats her and her four
POLITICALLY named sisters as his dear lit
tie daughters and he thinks they are
perfectly happy If he lets them have jam
with their team.
