 But, in order that peace be re stored, it is necessary that all in power should limit themselves to the rights granted them. It IS absolutely necessary that the po- litical parties should forget their hateful feelings and agree upon a tonciliatOry program. h is necessary that the grave and un- just accusations of anti-patrioy ism, which wrought such serious havoc, be abandoned that envies and jealousies and calumnies cease; that every citizen obtain the free exercise of all his rights, and that he respect the rights, the opinions, the conscience and the person of others. In a word, 1t is necessary that that condi- ten. in public life be once again brought about, which existed during the reign of my august grandfather and my venerated father and caused them to reign over a laborous and tolerent and, consequently, happy people.
 It is finally necessary that the peace which will come be hon orable, for any other will be of short duration and hence ineffi- cacious.

TINE COURAGE OF HRAEiE-ADELAIDE
 GRAND DUCHESS OF LUXEMBOURG

The following from the pen of Father Post glves an interesting view of the glri ruler ot the Grand Duchy ot LuXemDourg the little country which has, all may again, piay an important part III the great struggle De- tween the conlenulng na.lons ot Europe.-(Ed')
 Luxembourg considered as the terlltoly adjacent to the city ot that name nas mad Its VICES situdeS and trlaiS and Has be longed, now to france, now to Germany; again to Spain and Holland and IS at presnt and since May II, 1897, an indepen- dent neutral Grand Duchy, com prising 99S square miles of ter litory pounded by Belgium on the west. Prussia on the east, Lorraine and france on the south.
 Inc Grand Duchy is a constr tutional monarchy-the sover- eignlty being vested in the tiouse of Nassau and on Nov. B, 1890 Adolf ot Nassau obtained from his kinsman the king oi Holland the right to the sover- elgnity ot LuAemDourg. At his death his son Wilnam became Grand Duke, who having no son was according to the law ot 1907 succeeded by his eldest daughter Marie Adelaide.
 She is the idol of her people and though young in years shows the wisdom and courage ot a St. Pulcherina, the glory of old Constantinople. When the Ger man arm4es broke the neutrality of Luxembourg ooo young men at once constituted themselves a special body guard of the Grand Duchess and no foreigner has entered the grand ducal palace 1 he German Emperor not long since uttered these memorable words.

 Upon this her cabinet threat ened to resign. She accepted their resignation and formed { new cabinet. The House O Representatives in turn refused to accept the new cabinet,where- rpcr she addressed them the following, strong and patriotic letter:

INSECTS" IN OYSTERS

There is an old story to the eifeci
that an Irish girl was once told b,
her mistress to prepare oysters fen
dinner. The lady of the house was
startled when the maid brought in a
stack OF washed shells and placed
them on the table. Upon questioning
her,, the girl, in her innocency. told
her mistress that she had cleaned
them thoroughly after throwing their
inSidcs into the street. A story in
the Baltimore Sun of this morning
is akin to this libel on the girl from
Tipperary:
Some months before Christmas the
captain OF il foreign ship which was
lying at Baltimore was entertained
lavishly by some Of his friends in
the monumental city. Among the
treats given him were raw oysters,
something he had never before en-
ioyed. These were of a favor and de-
licacy known only in the Chesapeake
Bay.
The foreigner was delighted WITH
the oysters and would eat nothing
away from his ship while in the city.
This his friends soon found ont, and
TO further strengthen themselves in
his good graces, had several barrels
of select oysters sent to his ship just
before it sailed.
After the vayoge across, the YES
sci made 3 return trip to Baltimore,
and the friends of the skipper crowd
ed: around, him ias soon as he landed
