The remark i= frequently made that “‘cream is too ex- pensive to use freely.” Such people think they must have meat every day at 10 and cents per pound and do mot realize 5 cents’ worth of pure cream for breakfast will do more to put on flesh an 25 or 30 cents' worth of meat. An jeal portion of breakfast is that obtained rom, say, four teaspoons of Grape-Nuts and a little pure, thick cream. This Is one of the most delicious dishes imaginable and is served without cooking or trouble of any kind and cannot be equaled in point of food value for the human body. The Grape-Nuts, consisting largely of grape sugar, have passed through pro- cesses similar to the first act of digestion and are therefore most easlly digested, and in combination with cream, they ren- @er the cream itself easy of digestion.

PRI The discovery was made during the ses- | ston of the Supervisors’ Street Committee | yesterday that many owners of property on streets which were accepted prior to October 9, 1§71, had been put to the ex- pense of keeping their sidewalks in re- pair, though the city is legally bound to do the work. The information that prop- erty owners wers paying for repairs that should be borne by the city was divulged by Chief Deputy Donovan of the Bureau of Streets when the committee took upthe petition of F. O. Heydenfeldt that the city repair the sidewalk 'n front of his prem- ises on Folsom street, between Third and Fourth. This block was accepted on May 7, 1866, and therefore should be kept in good condition by the city. Donovan reported that Heydenfeldt had becoms impatient at the long delays to which his petition had been subjected and he had repaved the sidewalk at his own expense. “The city should do the repairing,” sald Donovan, “and Heydenfeldt is not the | only yropeng' owner who has been forced | to relay sidewalks tnat were -accepted I AL e £ = 7 THE tw’lzza/qé/ APPRR TrO7 , * vers at them they altered their minds and srouse m b m to hav n, where X2 tals.

Donovan explained that prior to October, 1871, streets were | accepted without reference to any par- ticular portion of a block, tbe name of the street and the streets between which the same was sccegted belng named. It was claimed that the acceptance in that manner included not alone the roadway but the sidewalks—that is, the entire width of the street—and that the ex- pense of keeping the same improved and in repair devolved upon the city. After October 9, 1871, in order to avold any question thereafter being raised as to the | action of the Board of Supervisors in re- lation to the extent of the acceptance of 2 street the resolutions adopted simply provided for the acceptance of the road- way of the street and the practice has since been observed. The question of the Mabllity of the city | and county for the expense of repairing | | and keeping improved the sidewalks | | claimed to be accepted was determined \m the“case of Phelan against the city and county of San Francisco. A decision | was rendered by the Supreme Court and | filed November 14, 1852, in which the judg- ment and order of the lower court making the city and county liable for the cost of | the construction of sidewalks on Howard street from First to Third was affirmed. This doctrine was reaflirmed in the case of B. Bonnet against the city and county of San Francisco, 6 Cal. Rep., 230, and also in Parker against the city and county of San Franclsco, 2 West Coast Reporter, SV 78 Tp CGrrEy Coqrms Ay, o The fact that the law is not generally known on the subject has been the cause of saddling the expense of repairing such | | accepted streets upon the property own- | ers, though the city is legally obligated | | to pay for it. | | he streets and sidewalks accepted prior | to October 9, 1871, which the city and not | the property owners must keep in repair | include most of the blocks in the down- town districts, their dates of acceptance being kept on file in the Street Bureau. | Donovan, however, contends that if the sidewalk is of the same material used | rior to 1871 the city is liable for its repalr, | ut If a new sidewalk has since been con- | structed by the owner the city Is not now | Iffble for its maintenance. 4 ] tion.

It W the first step on the road to Maita, { Cyprus, F.gyrz and the Soudan. The Catholic or Spanish Netherlands, Naples, Sardinia and _the Milaness ex- | changed the yoke of Spain for that of | Austria, but ‘this great extension of the { Emperor’s domains added to the alien ele- ments of hig realm and proj {onately dfminished thwen{k! of his stituency. Loths X1V's grandson retained Spain_and the Indies, with a provision that Spain and France should never be { united, nor was France to receive any | privileges of trade with the colonies of pain not also conceded to England and the Carolines and Philippines. No wonder Louis XIV, the Emperor and the twe maritime powers, England and the Neth- erlands, felt that national safety as well as future greatness were at stake when such an Inheritance was to be divided, or that all the resources of peaceful negotia- tlon were strained to the utmost to effect an amicable division as Charles of Spain approached the grave. It will help us to understand the situation if we compare the attitude of the powers toward de crepit China or remember how many of | us exulted when the last relics of that vast Spanish empire came into our posses- sion two years ago. _ The rival heirs to the throne of Spain in 1898 were Phillp, the grandson of Louls XIV, and Maria Theresa, eidest sister of | Charles II of Spain, and Joseph, the son of the Elector of Bavaria and grandson of the Emperor Leopold and of the young: er sister of Charles II. A less direct can didate was Charles, Archduke of Austria, younger son of the Em grandson of Philip III o 3 cession of Louls’ grandson to the throne would mean a family alliance of France and Spain, and possibly a union, while the accession of either a son or a grandson of the Emperor might lead to a reunion of | Austria and Spain, as under Charles V. In any case England and Holland felt they were deeply concerned. To avold | war William III, ruler of England and the | Netherlands, agreed with Louis XIV in | 169 that his’grandson Philip should have the Italian possessions except the Mila- nese, Sardinia and the province of Guipus- | and. Not the least significant changs of posi- | tion growing out of the war was that se- cured by two of the smaller prinee houges The Eleetor of Brandenburg, wh now receives general European recogni- tion of his title as King of Prussia, and the Duke of Savoy, who secured Sicily, with the title of King, step forward to a prominent piace in the family of Euro- pean monarchs. The train of efrcum- stances which was to lead to the union of Germany and Italy was aiready gather- ing force. Another German Prince, the Elector of Hanover, secured the sanction of his sue- cession to the English throne and by this the monarchies of Europe recognized that the formal choice of a people might confer a title which should displace that by di- 7 vine right. coa in Northern Spain, and the Archduke . " should have the Milahese, and that the | o AMODE the minor changes of the next little Electoral Prince Joseph should have | Spain, the Spanish Netherlands and the Indies (America). Hardly had this ar- rangement been agreed upon when the death of the Electoral Prince unsettled everything. Painful negotiation brought about a new partition treaty in March 1700, by which the Archduke Charles wal to take what had been allotted to Joseph and his own share was transferred to Louis’ grandson, Philip, who retained his hare as granted by the first treaty. With- in six months Charles of Spain took mat- | ters into his own hands, and by will be- stowed all his possessions on Phillp. A month later he died, and Louls XIV ac- cepted the bequest. If Louis had gone no further Europe would have acquiesced, for there was lit- jon in England to the imprudence difficult of sed the opposition of & their troops from fortresses” in the Spanish Netherlands substituting troops of his own. He kindled English indignation by recognizing the son of the exiled James II as King of England, and alarmed Europe by announcing that his grandson, in becoming King of Spain, had not im- paired his chance of succeeding to the throne of France. This declaration of policy called into existence in 1701 the grand alliance of | England, Holland and the Emperor, with the professed object of securing for the Emperor reasonable and just satisfaction for his fa aim to the Spanish suc- cession and for England and Holland pro- tection for their possessions, commerce and na ation. If peaceful means should fail the alliance would try to get hoid of the Spanish_Netheriands and separate them from France as a defense to Hol- land, and to secure for the Emperor the dllché‘ of Milan, the kingdoms of Naples and Bicily and the mainiands and islands of Tuscany, which were to be open to | glish and Dutch commerce. Erngland | and Holland on their part were authorized for the promotion of their trade and navi- gation to occupy any lands and cities they c;uld in Spanish America and to keep them. The attainment of these objects cost a | European war of more than ten years’ duraticn, which may be described as the first great war for trade, for in it the com- mercial motive was dominant. The rising capitalist class expected to get rich from it. Bonnet, the Brandenburg envoy, wrote from London: ‘People here don't care who is king of Spain as long as English trade doesn’t suffer.” The results of this Buropean struggle exchange between the Emperor an Duke of Savoy of Siclly for Sardinia, which both gave up an isolated possession for one con ous to their other domién- fons. Henceforth the royal head of the house of Savoy was to be King of Sar- dinia until he became King of Italy. The advance of England after the Span- ish succession war to the first place In Europe not only gave an Immense impetus to her commercial development but con YTerred upon her in some respects the piac of leader In the intellectual life of the day.

One finds these baleful results llustrat- ed in the énergetic development with un- troubled conscience of the African slave trade, in the rough and brutal sports, and in a diffusion of political corruption so general that Alexander Hamilton came to look upon it as an essential feature of the English system.
