WENDELL PHILLIPS ON PRUSSIA

Wendell Phillips said in 1873: What does Prussia represent? She represents the reorganized feudal system of the nineteenth century. She IS power marslaled into form by the one purpose of courts and soldiers. She is not nation; she is an army. Her great public schools and all her civil life have great, if not primary. purpose in the design to make men soldiers. Every man of the population banker, me chanic tradesman or scholar everything but the pulpit-go for the three appointed years into the camp to be disciplined to arms; and Prussas policy is an effort to drag the world back three hundred years She is the great military outgrowth, the normal monstrosity of the nineteenth cen tury."

.BLAMES THE SLAMS a&
 FOR THE WAR

VENICE, May 4--Count Julius An drassey, the former Hungarian Minis ter of the Interior has written a book, just published at Budapest entitled: "Who is responsible for the War" The book has received official approv- al, and is to be published in German at Lepsic and Berlin. and in switzer- land in French. A version in Eng fish will also be brought out. Count Andrassy is at present at Leipsic su- perintending the publication.
 The Count argues in his book that Slav aspirations brought about the war. and that the Russian ambition to possess the Dardanelles contribut- ed greatly to it. He asserts that Austria and Germany had no intention in the beginning of territorial az grandizement, and urges them not to think of it when final victory is won He thinks they should be satisfied with monetary compensation. and that any territorial additions to their boundar- ies would not look we'll or prove of any great advantage.

THE VOICE WITH THE SMILE WINS.

that there is much sorrow in the world, there must also be admitted to be enough happiness to produce an occasional merry mouth. Why do we zee one so sell dom? And do we make the effort our selves to cultivate such an appearance for the sake of others?
 As we get on in age we must take 1t for granted that lines and wrinkles will come That Is matter beyond our con trol, and the faces which display few such records do not always indicate that their possessors have thought or felt deeply. But these samesrecords may be of beau- tiful and cheerful thoughts that have left their traces and enable onlookers to find continual comfort in a face" Think Of the different effect produced upon you by sitting opposite the owner of such coun- tenance and that gained by having gloomy. drowning man or woman for your vis-a-vis.
 The voice with the smile ' Is of value. particularly in the home. I am afraid that some of us. when tired or worried, have a tendency to slip into a whine or tn assume a grumbling tone.
 What Is the matter with Mrs Blank voice? It gets on my nerves dreadfully." some one said to me of certain worthy woman We knew.
 She always sounds querulous." con- tributed some ono else. and a third, :" I always feel as if she were going to tell me that all the cream had turned sour
 And yet the woman discussed was really a kindly soul, who liked to make those about her happy. Unfortunately she was neither born with the facility of looking on the dark side of things or had cultivated the habit. and 1t had impressed itself upon her voice-and, l may add, upon her countenance. For one of the bevy of oritics-they were all young, and therefore inclined to toleranee-went on;
 Even when she isn't talking she al- ways looks as though something disa- greeable had happened or as though there were a bad smell in the neighborhood. ''s
 It was uncharitable. of course, but, like the rest of the world. the observers judged by appearances, and these cer- tainly confirmed all they said. and pro- duced the effect of irrtablity. impatience. .uerulousness discontent. " The voice with the smile !" works just the other way
 Let me give little quotation like. which fits in well here, and puts my thought into better words than mine:
 What was the secret of such a ones power? What had she done? Absolutely nothing; but radiant smiles. beaming good humor, the tact of divining what every one felt and every one wanted, told that she had got out of self and learned to think of others. That was the secret of her heavenly power."

least summon a smile with which to meet those they presumably love best even at breakfast time.
 One woman know had son who had the habit of arising in the morning with what the youth of today term grouch.' His mother talked to him about it seri- ously, and in the effort to assume a cheeriness that he did not possess the boy hit upon plan of his own. He se- lected a good sized piece of cardboard and inscribed on it in large letters the words. .' Smile, darn you. ''
 This placard and inscription he hung in a prominent position at the foot of his bed where his eyes would rest upon it the first thing when he opened them In the morning and his awakening powers would be summoned to the effort of looking cheerful. For months the card hung there until the sight of it and the cor responding attempt at conquest of the grouch , had brought about satisfac- tory results.
 When the mother told me of the occur renee I wished with all my heart could have number of such placards printed and distribute them in quarters where I know they are needed. pass the idea on for the benefit of those who think the counsel the young man addressed to him self may be of value to themselves or to others.
 The same habit of cheeriness which works we'll at the breakfast table may be advantageously applied throughout the rest of the day. take it for granted that you have the custom of speaking pleas antly to your employees and to your tradespeople as well as to those whom you consider personal friends. And yet I don't know why should take it for grant, ed when see so many instances of just the other sort of thing among those with whom am brought into chance contact
 One man l know, for example, calls to see a relative frequently, on an average of once a week throughout the year. never yet Addressed kindly word of greeting to the maid who opens the door to him and has been in the family employ for many months. It would cost him nothing to say Good evening to her when she admits him and 1t might mean little brightening of toll to her.
 Again, how often do we hear the re- quest for tickets at an office window or the inquiry for goods of any sort in shop put In courteous and cheerful manner? Is it not rather the exception than the rule? Do we not usually expect and get a curt phrase rather than kindly one, and are we ourselves guiltless of the same sort of behavior?
 More than this, how much do we encour- age courtesy and consideration by com mendation? We are ready enough to
