Paris.-The home of the famous
French author. HOnore de Balzac In
the Rue Raynouard ut Passy has been
reopened as an artists center. The
house had been sadly neglected. but
has been restored to present the up
pearance 1t had In Balzac's time, with
its vestibule painted blue and the orig
inal oak carvings and dark red tapes
tries decorating the apartment where
Balzac wrote his masterpieces.
On the table stands the big china
coffee pot from which the author was
wont to refresh himself, for Balzae
was a mighty drinker Of coffee. Olo
wood cuts and original printing proofs
adorn the walls. In the garden the
vine that Balzac tended still grows and
his beloved lilacs have been replanted
there.
In one room there Is still the trap
door through which Balzac used to dis
appear when importunate creditors
called.

On February 10. 1868. there was
signed one of the most momentous
treaties ever concluded in the history
of the world; for 1t not only decided
whether the Latin or the Anglo-Saxon
race should be supreme in North
America. not only deposed France
from her position of a colonial power
of the first rank. but 1t ended war
which had taught the American col
onies to think. act and feel for them
selves in terms of distinctive national
ity. had laid the foundations for the
American Revolution and developed
the genius Of George Washington.
Unlike the other wars which had
disturbed the American colonies and
called upon the colonists to shed their
blood In backing up some European
quarrel In which they had no inter

American soil. It is known in Amer

was spent In negotiations. Franklin,

Independence of the colonies was an

England wanted peace and America

a motion In the house of commons
against continuing the war. 1t was
lost by one vote. but carried five days
later by majority Of 10. This meant
the downfall of the ministry and the
formation of new one favorable to
peace. Rickingham's ministry came in

Thus. the present-day experts Of the
