This new way to rid ones feet Of

La paz blanca en-
Austria Hungria.

Algo extrano esta pasando en- la
doble monarquia. Desde la muerte
de Francisco Jose, Alemania vigila a
tentamente y dando pruebas de in
quietud recelosa, los acontecimientos
politicos que Sc d%esarrollan en- Vie
ma y Budapest.
Podia afirmarse hasta hace POGO,
que en- Hungria. Clam-M MARITIME y CT
ernim han hablado de la necesidad
imperiosa de una Immediate paz blan-
ca. En- cambio, Tisza, Ell DICTATOR hun
caro-, revolviase indignado contra Sc
mejante idea. Guerra la victoria total,
absolute y categoPica, fertil en- botin
y en- ventajas morales.
Y he aqui que Tisza cayo y que
surge la ~personalidad de Andrassy.
Sin duda, Andrassy, hijo del que, con
Francisco Deak, l~levara a cabo ell
compromise austrohungaro y con
Bismarck pactara la alianza austro-
teutona, es un germanofilo de tradi-
cion. P@o la g~ermanofilia de Andra-
ssy esta atenuada por un concepto
claro de las ~flaquezas reales de la do
bic monaKquia. Alguien ha dicho en-
Londres que ell emperador Carlos de
Austria Ia llevado al trono I'm espi-
rito e~volucionista. Andrassy, en- Hun
gria, puede ser Ell colaborador mas e.
ficaz de esa politica.
Recuerdese que Andrassy quiso inn
pedir las declaraciones de guerra de
Italia Y Rumania a Austria por medic
de concesibnes territoriales. Era par
tidario de ceder a los italianos ell I'll
rol y la Carintihia y a los rumanos al
gunos districts de la Transilvania. En-
varios articulos que ha ~publicado re-
cientemente en- la prensa de Buda-
pest, ha dicho que Austria ungria
debera sacrificarse a la bora de las
negociaciones, para que la paz sc
restablezca en- Ell mundo. Y ell empe-
rador de Austria y rey de Hungria
no ha vacilado en- encargar a un hon.
bre asi la formation del nuevo gabi-
nete hungaro.
Los amigos de Tisza dicen de An
Grassy: "es una vieja sin d%ientes, nj
cabellos, nj salud, nj valor". Sin en-
barge, valor ha tenido para oponerse
en- la Dieta a Tisza Ell 8 de febrero y
decirle; Gel que Sc mega a yer que
Ell mundo progresa, Ell que no quiere

HUMMING BIRDS NEST SMALL
When Completed 1t Is Scarcely Larger Than a Walnut Shell but 1t with
 stands the Elements.

The most dainty structure built in this country by the bill and feet of birds is the nest made by the ruby throated humming bird. writes r. Gill bert Pearson. When completed 1t is scarcely larger than an English wal nut, and is saddled on q small hori- zontal limb of tree, often many feet from the ground. It is composed ul- most entirely of soft plant fbers, frag- ments of spiders webs sometimes be- ing used to hold them in shape. The outer sides are thickly studded with bits of lichen, and practiced. indeed, is the eye of nan or woman that can dis tinguish 1t from knot on limb
 Although the humming birds nest Is exceedingly frail, there Is nothin- on record to show that any great number of them come to grief during the sum mer rains. Ii is, however, not called upon for long term of occupation. Within month after two white eggs are laid the young depart on their tiny plnions. Young birds that require q longer period for growth before leay- ing the nest are furnished usually with more enduring abiding places. In the case of the bald eagle. the young of which do not fly until they are many weeks old, most substantial struc. ture Is provided.

OriQin of the Silhouette.

A man there was in France. in the last of the eighteenth century, who be. came minister of finance, and was so economical and bade the French people to be equally so that all manner of fun was made of him. and the cheapest ar- ticles were named for him. One day painter said: 'To be economical We must stop using paints and colors, Here" he said to lady sitting in the sun, ''iet me draw you in black and save colors," and he drew her profile as 1t cast shadow against his panel. There" he said 'sThere k likeness of you without expense of paints. Let
 us name 1t for our worthy minister of finance" And they did. The minis ter's name was Etienne de Silhouette. And that's how the silhouette came 10
