F0ILED PLAN FOR ALLIANCE
How Bismarck Frustrated Negotla-
tlons Which Had Been Opened Be-
tween France and Austria.

An incident from Mr.. G. G. Robert
sons life of Bismarck throws inter
esting light on the methodlcal way In
which Bismarck worked out his state
policies. 1t concerns the negotiations
opened between France and Austria
after 1866 for an alliance against
Prussia. Emperor Francis Joseph had
emerged from the Seven Weeks war
DESTROYS of revenge and with substan-
tIal forces still intact. Napoleon met
Francis Joseph at Salzburg, and few
weeks later the Austrian emperor tray
eled to France with his military suite
and gave orders that the imperial
train should stop nowhere on German
soil, and In particular, that 1t should
pass the South German courts at night
In order to avoid embarrassing inter
views.
Nothing married the monarchs peace
of mind until, in the dead Of night, the
tpain approached the German frontier
near Baden-Baden; there It suddenly
came to a standstili. The aide-de-
camp. on inqulring for the reason, was
shown lonely figure wrapped In
dark military cloak standing in
pouring rain. The stranger wanted to
speak to the Emperor Francis Joseph.
Who was he, 1t was King William Of
Prussia
Thus, on a dark September night ia
1867, did the emperor Of Austria and
the king of Prussia meet for the first
time since Xoniggrntz. The Interview
lasted several hours and took place in
the rear carriage Of the imperial train.
What PASSED is not known. but the
writer is satisfied that William OF
Prussia asked Francis Joseph not to
betray the German cause, and warned
him OF the forthcoming Franco German
war. On reaching Paris Emperor Fran
els Joseph proved adamant to the
most tempting offers of alliance. The
incident remained secret; few local
papers referred to II ms merely a slight
mlshap TO the imperial train youths

Early indian Agriculture.

When the white men first arrived In
this country they found an aboriginal
population mainly sedentary and agri-
cultural. The Indians were mostly
farmers, peacefully disposed and dwell
Ing 10 villages. Predatory and unscrupu-
lous, after The manner of his kind, the
lntrudlng Caucasian drove them to war
and forced them to adopt rowing and
unsettled mode OF existence.
Corn was their principal crop--a ce-
real unknown TO Europe. How ex-
tenslvely they grew II may be judged
from the fact that In 1885 the British
destroyed 10000 acres Of maize plant
ed by the Senecas.
The Indians OF pre.Columblan days
pursued agriculture on a cooperative
plan. Large fields of corn were made
up OF hundreds of individual fields.
The sQnaws stirred the fruitful earth
and planted the grain. At harvest
time the men and boys helped to gath.

The fashionable draped skirts which
are made on the wearer by wrapping
the material around the figure and
then sewing it together ,necessitated
the creation of the sort Of underneath

of winter are slightly wider and fuller.

+ If you wake up with a bad taste,
bad breath and tongue is coated; il
your head is aching; if what you eat
sours and forms acid in stomach, Or
you are bilious, constipated, nervous,
sallow and can't get feeling Just right,
begin inside: bathing. Drink before
breakfast, a glass Of hot water with
a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate
in it. This will flush the poisons and
toxins from stomach, liver, kidneys
and bowels and cleanse, sweeten and
purify the entire alimentary tract.
Do your inside. bathing Immediately
upon arising in the morning to wash
out of the system all the previous
days poisonous waste, gases and sour
bile before eating more food.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood and mus
cles became loaded with body impuri-
ties, get from your pharmacist a
quarter pound of limestone phos-
phate, which is inexpensive and al
most tasteless.
Men and women who are usually
constipated, bilious, headachy or have
any stomach disorder should begin

Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks
dark and beautiful, and thousands
of women and men who value that
even color, that beautiful dark shade
Of hair which is so attractive, uses
only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition Of
other ingredients by asking at any
drug store for bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound"
which darkens the hair SO naturally,
50 evenly, that nobody can possibly
tell it has been applied. You just
dampen a sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time.
By mourn the gray hair disappears;
but what delights the ladies with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is that, besides beautifully 'darken-
ing the hair after a few applica-
tions, it also brings back the gloss
and lustre and gives it an appearance
of abundance.
