The prospects of war between France and!
Gemany turps ail eyes for the moment from \
Mam-burla to Europe. A wn.r liftween these
countries would doubtless be, for the western I
wond, of tar greater inipoitanco thau ihe{
faht conflict that han raged lor a year aud ai
lialf between Russia and Japan. Not only
would It be nearer our homes and bosoms
because of race affinities auti the close bond*
of literature, art, and life, but because the
theatre of war con id not, probab'y, be confined
wlttiin Hih murders ol the two belllgereuls.
Tbeii?i?-<>| conflict would almost Inevitably
eweep into tne current Austria.
Italy, England ho Russia. It mlabt easily
develop Into Hie most titanic struggle* in all
litsiory, greater lar than the French Revolution
and the Napo eonlc wars. It is because
of thes>-lears that I he whole world s today
regarding the peitv but dangerous controversy
between ti e cabinets 01 Faris and Berlin
with an interest so Intense that, lor the moment,
the million men In aims in Manchuria
seem very remote and very vague.
War la by no means inevitable Indeed II
seems quite probable that it will be averted,
that the crisis has really passed. Whatever
diplomacy may do to avoid hostilities we
may be sure will be done, not only In Frsnce
| autt Germany but In other couu tries. But we
L have recently witnessed a deplorable failure
\ of diplomacy?principally, however, because
\ It was lnslncert?to avert war between Rus
sla and Japan. In tills case,diplomacy must
be sincere, for it understands lully how lmf
measurably great are the interests at stake.
Tbe real source of danger is no longer Morocco,
which was tbe^ylgln of the cantrover.
-Mnnai ouarrels, the
ejr. a?,iuj .^i|{ynr .
apparent cause is ~1frul -pretext, and we
must look betalDd U was* qir.ie cause?jealousy,
greed. aggree. . -Hosp Tbe obJect
of statesmen In su'lIU so c,ose- ? is
"Not to stir without Sit* ribbv.
i c But greatly to find quarrernfl p t, ,
Wden honor's at the stake." r or 10
hf?
And so behind the pretext of the opt .oor
In Morocco we see the iU8t ol war and , . wtion
the part ol Germany, and on the part oi
France revenge lor 1S70 and tne winning back
of her lilcbeu provinces. Popular feeling
that has unfortunately been aroused in
France and Germany by the miserable controversy
started by the mischievous blustet
of the headstrong kaiser Is now the grave menance
in the situation.
But the chances now favor a peaceful ad
Justmem of the differences because Germany
realizes that she caunot shake England Iroiu
her lriendiy relations, or, as uermany tears.
Irom bis faint-hearted allies, Austria ana
i Italy, will abandon his arrogant attitude and
permit an amicable settlement of the Moroccan
question.
! Gtrmany has been checked and tempered,
and the rest of the world has been amazed by
the leariess attitude of France and her pre
paredness lor her alliance with France. It l?
nkeiy therefore, that tbe kaiser, fluding hie
bluff "called" by France,.supported by Eng
land and the moral sentiment of the world
and nimself suspected by immediate wai
that tbe quarrel over Morocco has revealed.
f The defeat of 1370, which Bismarca thought
was fatal to French aspiration*, has been
tbe cause of rtjuvtnaung France. She Is u
greater military power today than she evei
|< was, and tier victorious armieB u?vC wufcu
It Id every capital ol Europe. Her fleet toaay
|i' la second to England's aud preponeeratingo
superior to UeinTany's. Her army, ou t>
peace footing?mat is ready for immediate
service in tbe Held?Is larger than Germany'*
by some 50,000 troops. Ou a war looting, aftei
tbe last reserves are 6ummoued to tbe Held,
Germany would bave about 5,500,000 ami
France about 4.600,000 soldiers. Toe difler
ence Is not sufficient to insure German success
in au Invasion of France nor to prevent
with certainty the recapture and holding ol
Alsace-Lorraine.
As to morale, It is well known that the
French, like tbe Japanese, are patriotic lithe
last drop of biood, and this sentiment
doubtless inspires the soldiers ol France as it
does those ol Japan. Toe French bave indeea
always /ought wltb the most remarkable zeu.

Russian Easter o O
Custom
WHILE the craze uf giving an
collecting souvenirs on ever
possible occasion is genera
ly looked upon as bekig ej
clusively American, yet in one fespec
at least, Russian women beat th
American women out and out. Anion
the Russian aristocrats the custom c
giving and collecting Easter eggs i
universally followed, and some wome
have carried it to an almost extrav?
gant extent.
Both the dowager empress of Ilussi
and the young czarina have becom
collectors of Easter eggs, and the]
collections in point or u^tn vaiue an
extent- greatly excel those of othe
wealthy Russian women, anil as th
custom is widespread in Russia thy
is saying a good deal.
Among court circles it seems tbo
there is an unwritten law which ha
existed from time immemorial that th
reigning czar shall give the czarin
an Easter egg containing some vali
able gift, which usually takes the fori
of a reproduction of some recent noi
able event worked in precious metal
and jewels.
Alexander III., the father of th
present czar, never failed to observ
the custom, and the result is that th
dowager empress has some magnit
cent eggs among her coHection. On
of the eggs given her by her husban
?the one she prizes more highly tha
any other?is made of ivory and cor
tains a miniature ship made of soli
gold mounted on a beryl stone, it ]
said that the goldsmith spent mor
than nine months in making it.
Its intrinsic value, however, is by n
means the thing that appeals to th
empress herself. Its true value to he
lies in the fact that it is a souvenir c
the happy termination of what ha
been a most trying and anxious ordei
for her.
It seems that the present czar, Nicht
las II., had a most unreasonable lov
affair when a boy. The czar, his ft
ther, insisted upon his visiting the coi
tinent, hoping that his ardor might b
somewhat cooled in that way. Aroun
the world Nicholas was accordingl
sent, and, as expected, the voyag
proved that the saying "absence make
the heart grow fonder" is not universa
lir troo fnr xchon thp vfrnnc nrlnpe r<
turned his love had died out. Nevei
theless the empress grieved greatl
over the affair, which had been som<
what of a shock to society, and it wa
a long time before she was really sa'
isfied that the danger was passed. A
a souvenir of their happy escape froi
what had at one time seemed about t
end in a royal scandal the czar presen
ed his wife on the following Easte
with the miniature gold ship, whic
was a perfect representation of ths
in w ilch the young prince had mad
his tour of the world, complete in ever
detail, even the smallest cable bein
accurately reproduced.
Among the present czarina's colle<
tion is a large golden egg enameled i
rose color, containing a small but pei
feet model of the state carriage i
which the young couple were driven t
the Cathedral of Moscow on the day c
their wedding. The model is made c
gold, with red enamel cushions, an
little silver curtains are suspended o
golden wires, while on the panels th
imperial crown is inlaid in beautifi
diamonds and other precious stone:
This egg was given to the czarina i
Easter of her coronation year.
Not long ago the czarina receive
from her husband as an Easter preser
a jeweled heart set in rare many co
ored stones. This heart was surrounc
ed by twenty-five tiny miniatures c
the members of the Russian royal fan
ily. The Easter egg collections of ti
empress and the czarina were exhil
ited at the Paris exposition, with tt
rest of the crown jewels, and the
were much admired.
In all, the young czarina has ov<
125 different eggs, many of them hai
ing been given to her when she was
child. The collection of the empref
dowager is somewhat smaller, but coi

Easter of the Tyroleae.
In no country of Christendom 1
there a more beautiful and appropriat
celebration of Easter than that of tt
Tyrolese in Switzerland, where the re:
urrection of Christ is recarded as th
veritable proof of revelation, and th
season is Joyfully and religiously ol
served. Bands of musicians, for whic
the Tyrol is famous, patrol every va
ley singing the Easter hymns to the!
guitars. The people, wherever they g<
respond by Joining in the singing an
rejoicing. During the day the East<
singers, accompanied by crowds c
children, present a picturesque sigl
with their flower garlanded hats, J
night the scene is even more charmln
as they go about with their lighte
torches of pine singing glad refrair
and awaking the echoes of the silei
woods, the hills and the mountain vi

Her Easter Costume.
For some time Eve expressed 1m
opinion to Adam. She had small r
spect for a man who could not see tl
necessity of a woman having a chanj
of garb, at least in the spring. Si
told him that, along with a lot of othi
things. At last she shook him by tl
shoulder and kept him awake lor
enough to ask:
"Am I going to appear in anythir
different tomorrow? Answer mel"
"I hope so," said Adam wearily. '
hope you will appear in a differei

Far off from the noisy town.

The road to that wonderful country .iLeads

And the tired feet
In the dusty street
Are longing to enter there,
And a voice from that land Is calling i
In the rush of a thousand rills,

Love's Power.
If I were blind and thou shouldst eater
E'er so softly In the room,
I should know It,
I should feel It;
Bol ethlng subtle would reveal It
And a glory round thee center
That would lighten up the gloom,
And my heart would surely guide me,
With love's second sight provide me, . i 'M
One amid the crowd to Had,
If I were blind!
If I were deaf and thou hadst spokes
Ere thy presence I had known,
I should know it,
T ihmiM 1 If
Something subtle would rtral It
And the seal at once be broken
By love's liquid undertone.
Deaf to other, stranger voice*
And the world's discordant noises, j
Whisper, wharsoe'er thou art,
'Twill reach my heart!
