" No names were mentioned," says the correspondent, " but all understood, that Russia was meant." Emperor Williarnhaid emphatically, '.e I -strongly believe that, the enormous responsibility which modern warfare im- poses must override all military theories. I - would not begin war if conscious that by delaying it I could, secure a single year—' ninathe success of my goodle month—of y cause.eace y Even iif the chances are equal on both sides, there'is midi to be gained by having several months of peace." The King of Saxony expressed himself to the same effect, pointing.out stances -where- diplomacy had averted an apparently inevitable conflict. Archduke Albrecht also dilated upon the .enormous responsibility of forcing a war, in view of the murderous perfection of . modern weapons. Emperor William's remarks made a deep impression on the high rank German and Austrian o$ccra present. TRUSTED A FORTUNE-TELLER, Lost Her Money And Then Took Her Own Life.

A Hint to Poulterers. Within a very short time about 500 young turkeys have been lost by farmere over the mountain from the effects of a parasite. The parasite can be destroyed by a dressing of flowers of sulphur.(common sulphur) and coal oil. A eolution of cream of tarter should also be mixed with their drink. The sulphur solution should be gently rub- bed in around the neck and body of the birds. Sulphur is a capital thing to have lying around loose among all classes of poultry.
