To be continued.) i ALLIANCES OF A CENTURY. to unseat Political Exigencies Haye Caused Many Changes in Europe. In the history of Europe during the past century nothing is more curious than the easy way in which national alliances have been made, broken, made again and changed as dynastic, economic and racial rea- sons have demanded. ere are a few of these political transforma- tions: In 1815 Russia, Prussia, England and Austria , combined against the power of apoleon for ever. In 1849, when revolution in Hun- gary threatened the house of Haps- burg in Austria, Russia intervened and by force of 'arms placed the present Emperor Francis Joseph firmly upon his throne. In 1855-6 England, France, Aus- tria and Italy allied themselves with the Turks against Russia in the Crimean war. In 1859 France defeated Austria in Italy, dnd gave a great impetus to the unification of Italy. In 1866 Prussia gave its present ally, Austria, a fearful beating at Sandowa and forced it out of first place in the Germanic confedera- tion. In 1870 Prussia inflicted upon France the defeat, with accompany- ing loss of territory, that has been the cause of Europe's unrest ever 77 Russia defeated the Turks decisively, but was cheated out of the rightful fruits of her victory by a combination of the other powers in the treaty of Berlin. Old enmities and friendships are now forgotten, and Italy, which de- tests both Austria and Germany, is united with them in the Triple Al- liance, while those old-time ene- mies, England and Russia, are al- lied with France in the Triple Entente. What will be the next switch ? The Beginning of Exercise. When people who have nagecong: neglected exercise start to take i they are often met with. one aif. ficulty. They complain that after they have walked for a mile or so they are too tired to go any farther, and when they return home they do not fee] refreshed, but rather the opposite. Under' these circum- stanc we need not hesitate to as- sure them that if they will but per- severe this feeling of fatigue will pass off, and a sense of enjoyment and lightness takes its place, says Dr. C. D. Musgrove in "Nervous Breakdowns." Once they have ex- perienced the truth of this they are ready to continue the daily. walk and exercises, and soon begin to wonder how they ever managed to live without them. This acute fatigue is due to the stirring up of the waste matter in the system. If" however, they force themselves to kee alking quietly the exercise feself oni | help to eliminate th "6 undesirable elements, and so fulfil its most important function.

Once again his gift for conversation got him off, this time by a sheer miracle, tor whilst had flatly denied that he was an officer his military title and regi- ment were prin large on his boxes.

A most extraordinary custom pre- vails among the Visrees, a powerful tribe dis- trict in Cabul, among the moun- tains between Persia "and India-- a female prerogative that has no corauel among any other people of the earth. The women,~in_ fact, choose their husbands, and not the poe their wives. If a woman leased with a man she sends the drummer of the camp to pin a handkerchief to his cap, with a pin she has used to fasten her hair. The drummer watches his opportunity, and does this in public, naming the woman, and the man is obliged to marry, if he can pay the price to her father. Mice He was arrested first of Sonte Alfalfa Helps. The two principal causes of fail- ure in growing alfalfa have been. poor preparation of the -seed and the lack of indculation. A de- cided improvement, however, is no-| ticeable in the cultural methods practised by farmers at the present time, and'in practically all cases where new seedings are being made, some meang are taken of securing an inoculation of nitrogen fixing) bacteria.' Among other important, causes of failure are acid soils,) light infertile soils, poorly drained soils, the use of nurse crops, and in' case of late seedings, winter killing. The particular type of soil does' not appear to be of much import-| ance, but soils that are shallow by, reason of the water table or rock: formation near the surface and very, light infertile soils should be avoid- ed. Farmers on light sandy soils should seed on their best land and may need to take some special means of building up the fertility of the soil. Farmers in the better agricultural sections should seed} on their higher land because this! land is most in need of improve-| ment; because the alfalfa as a rule! is productive on high land and be- cause the soil most productive with, corn and other crops is left for the! growing of these crops. Alfalfa should not be seeded after' a grass Sod, but may follow a culti- vated or small grain crop. The pre- paration of the seed bed should be thorough and extend over a peri of several weeks, so as to secure al : firm and finely pulverized seed bed) in which the weeds and weed seeds! have been as completely eradicated! as possible. The presence of nitrogen fixing) bacteria is of utmost importance in! the growing of alfalfa. Both the soil and pure culture methods of inoculation have given good results! and one or both should always be, used whenever alfalfa is being seed-| ed for the first time in a field. The use of a nurse crop is not apd visable except on fields that ie opt to blow or wash and on seed that are poorly prepared and ee apt to become weedy. The use of manure in seeding al4 falfa is advisable if applied some, time before seeding or after the al-| falfa has come up and made some. little growth. It is not advisable, to.turn under a heavy application in a quickly prenaced seed bed ad' this tends to ho allow it to dry out, or to apply a8 a top dressing shortly before seed-! ing, because of the 'introduction of weed seeds. Death to Poultry in Salt. An instance is told of a woman who had by mistake put salt into a} cake instead of sugar. She thought. there was no danger in throwing this out to the poultry, but it caus-, ed the death of every bird she pos-| sesse This does not mean a slight por, tion of salt, such as may occur in, breadmaking, would roduce seri-! ous injury.. If salt is thus deadly to poultry, the question may arise, may it not be injurious to man when used excessively. Salt eating is us- ually a habit. Many people eat salt to excess. Just what effect salt eat- ing in excess may have upon the human system is not fully known, It is not impossible it may have something to do with cancerous. growths and other dreaded diseases. } Feeding the Calf.
