used, 1t should he applied three or four

become infested with lice. Provide a

with dry road dust or fine dirt, In
which the hens may dust themselves,
thus helping to keep them free from

TREATY OF LONDON 1881.


all in revolt The Car, alarmed at
what he considered the spread OF
revolutionary spirit, called upon the
other powers to interfere and prom
iSed Il contingent of 10000 troops.
Prussia massed her troops on her west
ern frontier and France announced
that any movement of Prussian troops
into Belgium would be met by a sim
liar movement on the part of the
French. A conference of the five great
powers was then sitting in London to
settle the question of Greece. France
proposed that the Belgian question be
submitted to the conference. The
Polish instruction. which now broke
out, gave the Gar all he could attend
to at home, Austria was harassed by
the Italian question and Prussia was
fully occupied in guarding her eastern
frontiers. SO England and France
were allowed to have their way, which
was the way of Belgian independence.
Failed to Settle Trouble.
The congress Of London issued sew
eral protocols intended to settle mat
tiers but failed to do so. One stun
bling block was Lltxamburg, which Hol-
land refused to CLIO up and Belgium
claimed; deputies from that duchy sit
ting in the new national assembly.
Prince Leopold of Coburg was offered
the Belgian crown but refused to ac-
cept it until matters were settled more
to the liking of the Belgians. The
Dutch refused to evacuate Belgium
and French army marched in, the
Dutch retiring before it,
On November Is, 1881, the represen-
tatives of the great powers and Bel
GUM signed the treaty of London. BY
this instrument part of Luxembourg
was given to Holland and the rest left
in the Belgian hands Professionally"
Belgium, it may be remarked, con-
tinued to hold the duchy untfl 1889.
The province Of Limburg was given to
Holland and the boundaries of Belgium
established practically as they are to-
day. The king of the Belgians was
recognized and the neutrality Of the
kingdom sOlemnly guaranteed.
The Car would not ratify this
treaty. although his ENJOYS had signed
It, until the next May, when he did so.
But now King William of Holland
baked. He refused to evacuate Ant.
werp, which was besieged and taken
by the French thereupon. 1t was not
until 1889 that King William decided
to accept fate. Having done so he
abdicated and the Belgian question
was settled to reappear in more
tragic form SO years later.
