Coalition Ministries.

Since the formation in 1852 Of the
famous coalition cabinet which went
to pieces during TIE Crimean war, but
served its purpose admirably for two
years, there has been no such radi-
cal change in a British ministry as
that of recent date. That ministry
was created, like the new one, with
out the formality Of general cleo
ton, and it included, with. the excep-
ton of Lord Derby and Mr.. Disraeli,
every man of genuine ability as
leader in both the great parties. Pal-
merston's war cabinet, which succeed
ed it, in the excitement caused by
Roebuck's charges Of army misman-
agement, was wholly tory. The coali-
ton, in later years, Of the liberal un'
ionists with the conservatives was
not Of so great political significance.
The so-called liberal unionists who LETT
the party of Mr.. Gladstone and the
Duke of Devonshire because OF their
opposition to Irish home rule have
never since had q separate political
existence. The cabinet of the Mar
quis of Salisbury, to which they be-
longed, survived all the political op-
position engendered by the mistakes
Of the Boer war.

HAD oUACKS AS FOUNDATION ALLIES FLAGS MUCH ALIKE
German Science, So Famous Today, 10
Credited With Exceedingly Mod
est Beginning.

German medical science is world
famed and has proved a godsend to
mankind Yet the science may be said
to have been founded by the quacks
of former centuries, for, while quack-
cry has always flourished in all coun-
tries, Germany was long the leader In
turning out practitioners Of this dubi-
GUS profession. They were often men
OF imagination akin to genius, and
they travelled all over Europe. A ma
jority OF the celebrated quacks OF
England we're Germans, and their
methods Of advertising their cures"
were very similar to those of the In
dian medicine men" who still flourish
in the rural districts of America.
Having studied over Galem. Hypo-
crates, Albumazer and Paracelsus,
am now become the Esculapius of the
age" modestly announced one medi-
eval quack, according to an early
play, having been educated at twelve
kingdoms and been counselor to the
counselors OF several monarcks. BY
the earnest prayers OF several lords,
earlS, dukes ana nOnOTdUle Peiooh
ages l have been at last prevailed
upon to oblige the world with this no
tice: That all persons, young and
old, blind or lame, deaf or dumb, cur
able or incurable, may know where
to repair for cure in all cephalalgias,
paralytic paroxysms, palpitations OF
the pericardium, empyemas, syncopes
and nasieties, arising either from
plethory or a cachochymy, veryiginous
vapors, hydrocephalous exacerbation,
odontalgic or podagrical infammations
and the entire legion Of tethnerous
distempers.
This is natures palladium, health's
magazine, and 1t works seven manner
of ways, as nature requires, for 1t
scorns to be confined to any particular
mode Of operation"
Yet from those quacks arose the
mighty army of German scientists
whose researches have been the marvel
and the benefaction Of the whole
world.

HOW FRENCH YOUTHS DIED
Boys Of Great Military School Of St.
cyr Worthy Of lts Best
Traditions.

There were many stories OF
the boys OF the senior class Of the mill
tary school st. Cyr, who took, the day
of the beginning Of the war, an oath
to put on gala dress, white gloves and
a red, white and blue plume, when
they had the honor to receive the first
order to charge.
They did 1t, too. Theatrical? Isn't
1t Just splendidly boyish? They did 1t,
you see. The first Of them to die, a
young sublieutenant, was found after
ward, his red, white and blue plume
trampled in the mud, his brave white
gloves stained with his own hot young
blood. Another OF those st. Cyr boys
shot in the face hideously and unable
to speak, stood still under fire and
wrote his orders to his men. It was
his first day under fire.
A boy fell injured between the
barbed wire in front Of his trench and
the enemy, in that No Mans Land of
so many tragedies. His comrades,
afraid of hitting him, stopped firing.

So they fred and he writhed for a
moment.
"I got one OF yours that time!" he
said.
The Germans retired, but the boy
still lay on the ground beyond reach
He ceased moving, and they thought
he was dead. One may believe that
they hoped he was dead. 1t was more

REAL MEANING OF "CLASSIc"
Just at This Time All Displays In the
Nude Are Termed "Real
Art"

Here is picture IN a newspaper
showing a girl executing the new
classic dance. The classic part of 1t,
we suppose, is the legs, which are
bare to above the knee, and one OF
them is bent so that the heel almost
touches the backbone. The beautiful
part of this dance is that 1t is classic.
Whatever is nude these days is classic,
and whoever denies 1t Is an unlettered
boor. One can see a great deal Of
classic art in the theaters, the vaude-
vile, the picture shows and on the
streets. The papers, too, are much
devoted to art. Some Of them seem so
classic that they don't print the pic.
ture of a woman unless there is de-
lightful display Of the nudities. The
world has gone daft on the classics
and the newspapers fill the nuditiee
part with a lavish hand. We saw a
picture in a moral newspaper the 9th
er day of society women visiting the
war vessels in New York, and the
whole picture was devised for the sole
purpose of showing u charming WON
an climbing the stairs to the bridge
The classic eclipsed the stair, the
bridge, the whole battleship. How

SAVING THE SOLDIER
WoNDERFuE ACCOMPLISHMENTS
OF MODERN SURGERY.
German System So Perfect That Dee.
psrateIy Wounded Men Are Re-
stored to Service In Compare
lively Short Time.

With their characteristic thorough
ness the Germans have set themselves
to the task Of saving every wounded
soldier sent back from the front who
is not beyond their aid. They are ac-
complishing wonderful results and
thousands Of disabled soldiers are
soon restored to health and sent back
to the firing line, who might have per-
tshed miserably were 1t not for the
scientific management Of German hos
pital work.
There is no neglect of the wounded.
From the time a man is hurt on the
battlefield until he is installed In q
hospital, perhaps far away from the
scene of his injury, all that could
possibly be done for him before he
reaches the hospital has been accom-
plished by skilled hands and when he
reaches his destination competent
surgeons, who specialize In the kind
of wound he has received, begin the
final work of healing. Instead of being
the most common operation in war
surgery, amputation is not practiced
now, except as the last resort. Anti
septic treatment has so minimized the
danger of infection that the most des-
perately wounded soldiers are saved
and dismissed from the hospitals with
their full complement of limbs.
Not only are German surgeons do
ing splendid work, but American,
French, English and Austrian sur
geons are every day performing re-
markable operations. Recently an op-
Grafton was performed by Prof. Albert
Tietze on q soldier who had serious
wound in his head. After large frag-
ment of shell had been removed the
, X-rays showed that a small piece OF
! shell remained. Professor Tietze said
/ this particle could not safely be left
! In the skull because 1t might become
; dislodged in future years and cause
instant death.
/ 1t was suggested that magnet be-
used to draw out the splinter. There
was no instrument of the sort avail
able, but engineers Of the telegraphic
division soon made an electromagnetic.
A motor, formerly used for running
q threshing machine. and q dynamo
were requisitioned The physician took
an iron wand, highly polished. and
connected 1t with coil. The wand
was inserted in the soldiers skull and
the fragment of shell was easily with
drawn as it chung to the end Of the
iron.

For Quick Dressing.

An ingenious Frenchman has re-
Gently invented and placed on the
market a little device that will make
new records possible for quick dress
ing and undressing. 1t is q sort Of
hook-and-eye arrangement that can be
hooked up or unlocked almost In
simultaneously. His original purpose
was to make 1t possible for soldiers
to get in and out Of sleeping sacks
without losing any time but his idea
is being applied now to clothes also.
On each of the two edges that are to
be hooked together is sewed con
tinuous line Of metal clasps. A buckle
is made to slide up and down ovel
these clasps in such way that wher
the buckle is pulled up it hooks al
the clasps together and when it ii
pulled down It unhooks them.
. Thus, simply pulling the buckle III
hooks the garment completely; while
the unlocking operation can be accom-
plished by pulling on the two edges
exactly like tearing a sheet.-Satur

Bad Opera Kills Good Hound.

ten to the music. Miss DERRICK had
Just purchased the machine and was

singers. She wanted her pet to hear
the music and held the animal before
the instrument. The dog whined pite-
ously and finally wriggled from the
arms of his mistress.
After getting loose the collie raced
through the house, chewing its paws.
Thinking that the dog had gone mad,
Miss DERRICK sent for veterinarian,
who announced that the dog, which
was a high-strung animal, had died

IMPROVING THE CAMP MEAL
Various Condiments That Should
Never Be Forgotten When Party
Goes on an Outing.

A well.filled box Of spices will be
thankfully remembered at every camp
meal, II somebody is thoughtful
enough to pack 1t and see that 1t
reaches its destination, for even the
plainest food can be rendered appetiz-
ing by judicious seasoning, and the
most appetizing dainties of camp fare
can be improved by spices that bring
out their favor.
OF course, you will remember to
take along salt and pepper. but II you
want the taste immortal have the last
Of cayenne. A box of paprika. too,
will give ut tasteless moments pleas
ant FLIP. while lemons and garlic will
be worth their weight in gold at all
times. Remember the following things
as we'll: onion Juice, herb bouquet
and a flask of whisky or brandy. A
tablespoonful Of the last may be put
in canned meat soups instead of sher
~, which Is more bulky to carry.
Tomatoes always liven up canned
soup, and so also shaving Of garlic
and a squeeze of lemon Juice. When
using the sauce remember that It must
be cooked with the soup. A raw egg

London Newspaper Describes the Vars'
Gus Embiems Under Which the
Nations Are Fighting.

Not q few people are making the
mistake OF flying in Russia's honor
the picturesque yellow flag with the
double eagle, under the impression
that 1t is our ally's national flag. This
flag however. is really the imperial
standard, while the white flag with
the blue st. Andrews cross Is the
Russian naval ensign. The latter 10
used only by the navy. and 10 not
allowed to be flown by private In
dividuals.
The Russian national flag, which
should be used in this country by peo-
pie who wish to show their admiration
for Russia, is a tricolor, white, blue
and red stripes, placed longitudin-
ally.
There is, indeed. a remarkable
similarity between the flags Of the
allies. France, Russia and Serbia
all employ the same three colors, only
the arrangement differing. In regard
to the flags Of Russia and Serbia, II
may be pointed out that, as the colors
are the same, a Serbian flag upside
down would be the Russian, and vice
versa. Belgium flies tricolor with
the colors vertically, as in the case OF
the French flag. The Belgian colors
black, gold and red, are said to sym
bolize the emergence Of Of the country
from darkness into light through blood
and flre-a most appropriate device
