But, queer enough, the world begins to see that the treaty of Frankfort was the germ of the present holocaust, and that It leads to the utter destruction of Prussian autocracy and e world autocracy that had been picked to bear the cross to suffer that the world might be relieved from the burden on the shoulders of all humans, from Herod down to Wilhelm.

Through a multitude of other causes of the hole ocaust In Europe, the case of presents Itself with a growing significance. It is here that Prussia Initiated her grand mistake and, through the forcible cession of this state, engineered the hatreds and for which she is paying now with all that humankind hold moat dear and precious. In 1872, when the German confederation was formed, this booty land was considered as a prize of the confederation as a whole, with the regulative powers vested in the king of Prussia. The state was permitted to send delegates to the relchstag, but could not be represented in the bundesrat, the real power In governmental Germany. With the usual aslnlnlty of German officialdom, the assimilation of the people was hurried, and hurried by most unwise and impossible measures. The Idea seems to have been that an assimilation could take place In one, or, at the most, two generations, and that it could be effected while the people paid Prussian taxes and were not granted representation in the laying of said taxes. As a necessary vent to human nature, the result was the failure of Prussian police methods all during the first thirty years of the occupation. What happened after that In Metz, Colmer, Strassbourg and Mulhouse we shall Alsace-Lorrain- E language in certain private and gatherings. German immigrants shipped Into the Reichsland bred children, only to have them take sides with the Indigenous population In their clamor for annexa-- . tlon to Germany on an equal basis with the other German states. This latter point, contrary to general belief, was actually Just what the Alsatians agitated for. French culture and Ideals began to have their effect when all Importunities and pleadings for a relaxation of Prussian oppressive methods and a representation In the government failed. Prussian rule remained Inflexible. Guarantees and alterations were promised and seemingly compiled with, only to have the people discover, when ' the smoke of Prussian bland duplicity cleared away, that they were bound more helplessly than ever. In the spring of 1912 the Prussians further showed their disapproval of the agitation engendered by attempting to ruin the Alsatian factories at Grafenstaden, near gtrassbourg, by withdrawing all orders for locomotives for the Prussian railways. In the month of May, in this same year, the popular Indignation, already Inflamed, was fanned to fever heat by the remarks of the German emperor to the mayor of Strassbourg, during an Imperial visit to the city. He Is reported to hove said : "Listen. Up to here you have only known the good side of me. Things cannot continue as they are. If this situation lasts, we will suppress your 'constitution' and annex you to Prussia. Alsatian newspapers were held to a narrow course by a most severe code of laws, but suspensions were taking place every day. To be profitable, a Journal could do naught else but support the Berlin policies. A school of cartoonists came to the fore, and, by a series of caustic and meaning cartoons, Indicted Berlin till the officials In their fury, began placing prison sentences Indiscriminately among cartoonists and Journalists. And so, France, who had represented to the heroes of 1793 the beau-ideof democracy, came gradually to the fore as the influence in Her culture, her ideals and her citizenship became valued dreams of loyal Alsatians. But far off dreams they seemed; and the Alsatians, In their growing love for the republic, could not harbor the thought that France should suffer the throes of a war with remorseless Prussia for their semi-priva- German Misrule on Conquered Provinces Fosters Pro-Fren- ALSACE-LORRAIN- e. nt Alsace-Lorrain- "Welt-Politl- k see. al Alsace-Lorrain- te Columbus.

At this time It Is particularly necessary that the farmer do everything In his power to prevent waste of grain A great deal and other foodstuffs. depends upon his ability to turn out record crops and his wisdom In caring for new crops until the produce Is placed on the market There Is a new Interest In the construction of corn cribs and granaries. The building shown In the accompanying Illustrations Is an excellent type for the average farmer. It Is a combined corn crib and granary built with two stories, 26 by 40 feet on the ground. The height Is 18 feet to the laves. There are corn cribs at the tides and grain bins overhead. In the center. A driveway 10 feet wide, having 10 feet of headroom, runs through the center below the bins. Such a building saves wastage, losses from storms and dampness, and It saves considerable labor In handling the grain. The driveway Is a workroom In winter. In summer and tall It Is an entrance way for loads of ear corn from the husking and small grains from the threshing machine. Between seasons It answers for storage for farm wagons that are In use a good deal. It la a place for the tanning mill In and it Is then carried out of the end of the trough and fed to the shelter. Metal sockets are used to hold the feet of the studding In place above the concrete. No sills are used. Outside stuff; by studding Is 24 Inches on centers, 18 feet long. Along the driveway, studs are 12 Inches on centers, up to by h the double by plate upon which the bln joists are placed. These Joists are by In size, placed 12 Inches on centers. The Inner studs, above the plate Just 12 mentioned are by Inches on centers. The Inner and outfilled, 10-lnc- 10-lnc- 14-In- ch er studs are tied together every 4 feet In both directions with by ties are sticks. Likewise extended across the grain bins near the center of the studs, 4 feet apart. The exterior of the corn crib wall Is crib covered with by siding spaced 1 Inch apart The end of the building outside of the bins and Famous Timepiece In Hampton Court Palace, London, Last Repaired In 188a London. The celebrated dock of Hampton court palace that was provided with a dial to give astronomical changes but never did so, has stopped once more. It If believed to have been constructed by a German way back In 1540, but as a matter of tact history falls to record the name of lta maker. The celebrated clockmaker Vulllamy reconstructed It In' 1799, but he gave up the astronomical dial portion on the ground that It never could have worked with the machinery provided, relegating that portion of the works to the store cupboard. A Croydon firm of dockmakers set the whole thing going again In 1880, and It has run satisfactorily until now. Workmen are busy getting up the scaffolding necessary to reach the dial, and after a thorough cleaning and certain repairs to the dial It Is expected to ran for another quarter of a century with little attentions from time to time. e.
