Brooklyn,\u201d sald a veteran of the metropolis.\u201cFew people remember the origin of the expression, which was really the killing of a young man by sheer fright.Hazing at colleges was as rough then as now, and a coon plan was to capture 8 new student, try bim for some Imaginary offense, condemn him to execution, and then hold his head on a block while a blow was struck on the ground with the dull side of a hatchet.A student named Wiliam DPatterson was caught and tried in this way and was led weeping and shouting to the block.He was then blindfolded and held down, told that his last day bad come, and then the bogus blow was struck with the hatchet.His cries ceased instantly, and when the students in alarm tore off his eye bandages and felt his pulse they discovered that he was dead.Several investigations were held to ascer- tain who struck the fatal blow, and it : 9ged 71 years.was because it was finally ascertained that no one ever struck Billy Patter- | son at all that

fail to be a source of renewed strength as well as of healthful enjoyment.* THE FINDING OF MOSES.A Famous Artist Says There Were No Bulrushes Ia Egypt.Bulrushes are so inseparably assocl- ated in the mind with tbe finding of Moses that it is difficult to imagine a painting of the incident in which the picturesque reeds do not figure.But there is a beautiful painting by Sir Laurence Alma-Tadema of the finding of Moses, and the bulrushes are entirely omitted.The great painter gave the following explanation of the fact.He ascribes the presence of the word *\u201cbulrushes\u201d in the authorized version as being due to faulty translation, for there are no such things as bulrushes on the Nile.The word in the original means papyrus, and it seems that in tbe absence of some equivalent in English the word was used as being the nearest which the transiators had at their command.According to Alma-Tadema\u2019s reading, the mother of Moses fashioned a cradle or ark of papyrus and smeared it over with the white Nile mud, and it is according to this rendering that be has painted his picture.Like Many a Man.A horse was entered in a trotting race.When be was put on the track to be warmed up be

respect.The one tises from a judicious consideration of what ve are, the other from an extravagant notion of what something ex traneous has made us.The one is true, the other is false, and both can- mot exist together.A man that re spects himself cannot be proud, and & proud man does not respect himself.Ability.Fatber\u2014You ought to be ashamed of yourself, Dick.You are now in your twenty-fifth

expense per capita last year £232, a decrease of 831 from the year before, which is due to the unusually large amount of produce raised on the farm.The present membership of the home is 94.It was voted to raise the salary of the matron, Mrs.Thomas Hannon, 850, making her salary 8750.The officers elected by the trustees are: President, Col.Hugh Henry; Treasurer, John C.Stearns; Clerk, H.W.Spafford.Joseph K.Hatch, of Woodstock, a farmer aged 60 years, was killed late Monday afternoon, July 31, by a stag.Mr.Hatch lived on the Bridgewater road in Woodstock and went with the cows as

and mangled, especially about the neck.The animal had been ugly for some time and Mr.Hatch carried a heavy stick to defend himself.This was found in the road a short distance from the body.Mr.Hatch is survived by his wife, a son and a daughter.One of the most important civil suits ever tried in Vermont and New Hampshire, and possibly in New England, is being tried at the town hall at Eloomfield before three referees.It is the continuation of the trial of the suit brought against the Grand Trunk Railway Company, by the Connecti- eut Valley Lumber company, George Van Dyke of Boston, president, for damages, it is alleged, sustained by the memorable forest fires of 1903 to its timbered lands situated in the original towns of Bloomfleld and Brunswick and unorganised towns of Ferdinand and Lewis in the state of Vermont.The case is being tried before the three following referees: H.F.Grabam of Craftebury, F.8.Platt of Poultney, and W.P.Taylor ot Hardwick.The plaintiff has about 300 witnesses to be heard, while the defendant has over 350, making a total of 650 witnesses to be heard in this great civil suit, which involves in ea tecsmn tind mde 1.08 Doctrine as a shield to protect them from the consequences of their own misdeeds against foreign nations.He went on that he did not want to see any foreign power take possession permanently or temporarily of the custom houses of an American republic in order to enforce its obligations.The alternative was that \u2018\u2019we\u2019\u2019 meaning the Government of the United States, \u2018\u2018shall be forced to do so ourselves.\u201d This means, and wae probably meant to mean, a great deal.It is an assumption on the part of the \u2018United States of superiority over all other countries in or adjacent to North America, of the power of the Washington Government to act the part of judge in disputes between | American and European or Asiatic states, and as court officers to give effect to its judgment by violating the térritory of the sister nations.The United States in its conduct towards other American countries, has not galned a moral title to take any such attitude.It despoiled Mexico of a large part of its territory.It disrupted Columbia to get hold of the Panama Canal.It seized on Porto Rico without giving the people of the island a chance to say yea or nay.It deprived Cuba of part of its powers as a nation, for the benefit of itself.Now ite President says to these and all the other countries south of its border that they are in a state of tutelage, and must look to Washington for the regulation of their foreign relations.It has been noted that since the Cuban war the Central and South American nations have been showing a new and unexpected friendliness towards Spain.There is reason for it.The great republic to which they would oaturally be expected to look with sympathy has played to them the parts, first of a robber then of a bullying over-lord.\u2014Montreal Gazette.The

and wounded her.! This occurred at Amherstbury, Saturday afternoon at Lovegrove\u2019s residence.The wife ran into the adjoining barber shop followed by her husband who was imprisoned there, and later arrested.When the would-be murdered was being taken to the lockup threats of lynching were heard on every side, and it was with difficulty the police saved iim.He was struck several blows on the head, and blood streamed from his face.Albert Horton married Annie Lovegrove about 18 months ago.She came home because of his failure to support her in Windsor.Last spring Horton secured employment in a drill boat at the Limekiln crossing, but was unable to hold his position owing to his drinking habits.He sought to get his wife to live with him, but would not promise to reform.He did not appear on the scene for some time until last week when he heard she had gone to Cleveland, and followed her there.Failing to find her, it appears he returned to Amherstbury riday night, hid in the barn at the rear of Love- grove\u2019s house, and awaited a favorable opportunity to carry out a seemingly premeditated attempt to kill his wife and babe.: Mr.R.H.Lane, the secretary of the Charity Organization Society, and other gentlemen interested iu social questions, are urging that a law be passed making it illegal for children to carry liquors from saloons or grocery stores.Carrying liquor for others, Mr.Lane holds, is often the first step in the ruin of boys and girls both.Ifyou, Fits,\u201d Epile Sickness, write for a trial bottle and valuable treatise on such diseases to THE Lrisia Co., 179 King Street, W., Toronto, Canada.All druggists sell or can obtain for you LEIBIGSFITCURE your friends or relatives suffer with » St.Vitus\u2019 Dance, or Falling GENERAL SYNOD.Under the terms of consolidation, the General Synod of the Church of England in Canada is the great legislative body of the church, whose measures, whose decisions, are final.This body was erected after long discussion and no little difficulty.It is comparatively new, and its functions are not generally understood even by church people.It has met already three times, and on each occasion there was some dubiety as to the extent of its powers, dioceasan and provincial synods claiming the oversight of matters which it is to be the duty of the general body to control.The fourth session of this body is to be held in Quebec on Sept.6.Many matters of moment will be discussed and determined.For instance, there is a desire on the part of not a few prominent churchmen for a purely Canadian edition of the prayer book\u2014an edition which would conform to the prayer book which is used by the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United ; States.| Another matter of interest will be 'the debate upon the question of giving the Church a new name.This matter has been discussed tentatively bat it will, at the forthcoming meeting i of synod, be dealt with in a practical manner.The name \u2018Church of England in Canada,\u2019 is said by not a few | to be lacking in distinctiveness, and it is held that the name should be shorter and have more definite meaning.Among the subjects to be discussed will be the revival of the permanent { deaconate, the anointing of the sick, he preparation and compilation of a new hymnal, the preparation of a shortened form of morning and evening praying, while the work of the great missionary society, which has taken the place of smaller bodies, will be brought up for appreciative comment.Archbishop Bond will preside at the meeting of the Upper House\u2014the Rev.Canon Baylis acting as secretary to this body.The arbitration commission in connection with the Anglo-French differences in Newfoundland, has according to a despatch from Paris, awarded indemnities amounting to 1,- 175,000 francs to the French owners, fishermen and sailors on the treaty shore.A Negro ruflan in Mechanicsville, N.Y., brutally beat and left for dead the Rev.B.Schulte and his wile, of New York city.Later he was shot dead by a policeman while resisting arrest.Railway at Kishman, 0, Monday, twelve persons were killed and twen- ty-three others were injured eight of whom will probably die.PSYGHINE (PRONOUNC ED SI-KEEN) LA GRIPPE One of the worst of Bronchial Diseases, because it has the worst after-effects.The first ptoms are Chills and Fever, Cough, Sore and Inflamed Nose and Throat, Paina in the Limbs, Side and Chest, severe Head.\u201cPsy Pneumonia and Bronchitis.ight Sweats, Lassitude\u2014should not INE prevents and neglected, positively cures La Grippe, TRIAL BOTTLE FRER wine a on Tu ons Labs 1% King Gran uen a a+ #5 5 In a collision on the Nickel Plate be Rock Island, P.Q.and Derby Line, vt, -_ BOSTON & MAINE RAILROA), Stanstead & Derby Line Branch SUMMER ARRANGEMENT, In Effect Monday, June 26, 1255, Por X rhs LEAVE STANSTEA]L r North\u20148.07, 7.80 a.m.1.For Bouth\u20147.90 a.m.14.47, Sa Tae 1 dm Pro eut ARRIVE AT STANSTEAD : ts th\u20145.88 and 8.05 a.m., 1.58, 6.58 and from North\u20148.06 a.m., 12.48 and 10.58 p.m.TRAINS LEAVE BOOK ISLAND AND DERBY LINE;

summer is reson- \u2018nt with the intensity of insect life.In every passing moment of stillness the fluttering hum becomes audible Sometimes the buzz of a flying crab, the giant bug that seems impatient of its time in the air and eager to return to I's hom: in the water, rises momentarily above the dull sound of diminutive insect life, into and out of the litle horizon of the enclosing night.Every light is surrounded by a varied swarm of dazzled insects, their diminutive forms casing sudden shadows along the ground and | out into th\u201c darkness.A bat dancer by in erratic haste, and from the upper | air the muffled whistle of the invisible ! night hawk tells of the perpetual de- | struction of this swarming Ife.Close : to the water against the invisible black- | ness of the banks of rushes a firefly trails a momentary thread of light, says an appreciative nature writer in The Toronto Globe.The moving spark | shows so distinctly and impressively in the darkness that the eye follows: along its imagined course eager for f.s i reappearance.There fs a fascination in this combined mystery of light and | life.It appears again, upsetting all! calculations as to speed and direction.| During the eclipse it must have loitered | and wandered.The phosphorescent, glow trails along another \\rr:gular' course and goes out.The great, placid, {indolent moon: looks over the marsh, lighting up the : open spaces, a few waving rushes! sharply silhouettrd against the clear\u2018 circle of light.Down where the 1: vel! rays cannot penetrate the shadows seem | to grow darker, and there the firefly trails again his momentary torch.The spirit of the marsh is abroad, and these diminutive moving lights seem but struggling emanations from a great presence.The little span of )ight coming from the nowhere and vanizhing into it again inspires the play of wandering fancies.It seems always emblematic of our own brief glance into the conscious universe.A muskrat swims across the open water, breaking its surface into a widening rail of quivering ripples, and the swift entangled threads of reflected moonlight chase one another away into the shadows of the dinse banks of rushes.But the phosphorescent trail of the firefly drawn across the Invisible background of shadow claims a keener interest than the more material life of the water and air The fir: flies have only a few days of life in this aerial and luminous s:age.They are then fully matured, and the bright glow that awakens so many fan- cles is the charm that brings them !o- gether in the fulfillment and perpetuation of their lif.In their larval siage they are rotund, insignificant tit:le crawlers, living In and upon the decayed trunks of trees.They might be mistaken for lady bugs that had lost their color in the close confinement of their prison.Some sp-cies are luminous in this stage, but the most familiar do not glow with light till they have passed through the inert chrysalls state and come forth in their perfection equipped for flight.The firefly lays over a hundred eggs.and thse do not hatch out into larvae till the following spring.The glowing lights seem to be created and obscured at will as they meek thelr companions in the night That moving glow impels the flight of wandering fancies.Fairl~s may pass away with the years of childhood, and the imug- inary people of the night may fede into the light of common day.but the fireflies always inspire the creative fancy and transform the dim twiligh: into an evanescent and myst rious panorama.Saved Sister by a Fish Hook.Eric

thousand dead deer during the past winter while bush ranging in the French River district tor a Saginaw firm.The habit of the deer is to keep to the runways and browse along them, but in this long, severe winter, the fodder close to the runways gave out, the decr could not travel through the deep snow.and then the animals starved.\u201cI have traveled the woods a good deal In winter,\u201d said Mr.Kelly, \"but I never raw such a d«pth of loose snow, nor such mortality among the deer before.I came across their dead bodies everywhere, Often they had waded out into the deep snow toward other tres, and overcome by weakness, sank down and died where they were.The lumbermen saved hundreds of decr.Hunger drove the animals right up to the camps, where they were not molested, but allowed to fred at the haystacks.T never saw a lumberman try to hurt one of them, but have of'en seen deer lying beside the stack chewing thelr cuds.This treatment and the horse feed littered along the cadge and draw roads have been a great help to tho deer Sometimes, however, even that help came tno late.It have seen where deer had comer across the oats left where starving deer had eaten the remalning oats, but died on the spot.because the big feed nf grain was too much for it\u201d Beaver Dams.The beavers work according to a certain system, says Charles A.Bramble in Recreation.Once they have fixed a number of logs, both horizontal and perpendicular, in their dam, they stop all the gaps with stones and mud, and, possibly, with water-soaked timber.Even grass leaves may be workéd in.A discharge is always left in the dam, a foot or two below the genergl level.A h:avy coa:ing of mud 1s relied upon as a final waterproof covering to the dam.This mud is generally scratched up from the bottom of the stream, above the dam, and the water holds it in suspension, so that the current carries the fine mud against the face of the dam.Also, they carry mud clasped between their forefeet and their breasts.The favorite hours of work are be- autumn, when the nights are long, they do no: work so late.In the spring and early summer they are out by four in the afternoon, and may work long after

cheese when cows are fed certain kinds of green forage: | Rape, if fed In limited quantities to ' milking cows, is likely to impart to the , ilk a taint which will be imparted to : the cheese and cannot be eliminated by any art known to the chessemaker at the present time.i Cheese made from sape fod milk presents both offensive odors and tastes.The longer the period of feeding is extended the better quality of the ! cheese produced with reference to flavor, Indicating that the systems of the cows producing the milk tended to conform to the peculiarities of the feed and thus eliminate at least a portion of the noxious flavors.The flavor of the product from morning's milk when the feeding was done \" immediately after milking was of a decidedly improved quality over that from the evening's milk where the feeding was done shortly before milking.The body, texture, color and general makeup of the clieese are not affected in any manner by the feeding of ripe to milk cows for cheesemuking pur poses, When cabbage was fed to milk cows disagreeable flavors were always imparted to the cheese, and these bad fla vors were intensified us the ripening ! pensive, The one word which expresses svery- thing with the churning !s temperature, writes Mra, E.HE.Rockwood in National Stockman.The cream must be kept sufficiently cool after It has been put in the churn to {usure the butter coming in granular form, and that means that it must not go above 56 degrees or 58 degrees In hot weather.The butter comes much more expeditiously if the churn is filled only about one-third full; certainly It should not be more than half full, A bar re] churn Is my cholce, free from paddles or inside rigging of any kind.Cream should be strained into the churn, Under right conditions cream should begin to break in twenty to thirty minutes, When the cream breaks and butter granules appear churning should cease, A cupful of sait for every four gallons of cream may be [utroduced.This will make no appreciable difference In the salting of the butter, but assists very noticeably in separating it from the buttermilk.A circle of blenched butter cloth tied over a pail will cateh whatever particles go through with the wash water.This answers every purpose of a hair sieve and ls luex- Ordinarily it is ndvisable to wash butter twice, Flavor is in- advanced.Milk from cows fed exclusively upon green clover produced cheese having a low, flat flavor, which finally became sharp and repugnant, Green forage corn when fed to cows produced an excellent quality of milk for cheese.The cheese was of fine texture, with clean, high davor at all stages of the ripening, The Cow's Bent Weekn.There is a great variation in the best week of a cow's lactation, in different cows and fn the sume cow.It Las been found that cows make their best records during the first ten weeks of their lactation, and many cows make their best record during the first month after coming fresh.Most cows give their largest quantity of mflk during the third week and make the largest butter production during the second week.Cows seem to reach thelr bigh- \u2018 est butter production before they reach their largest flow of milk.Feed Is the Main Thing.No matter how skilled we may be In breeding and making nicks, crosses and cut crosses, the main thing with the cow is her feed, and unless she and her offspring are fed enough and well the granddaugbter will be a scrub and dear at most any price \u2014Jason.i | | ' Ï HINTS ON FEEDING \u2018 o\u2014 .Not much comes from the udder of a cow that is not first put into her mouth.To own a well bred dalry cow with perfect form and every appearance of a great producer does not , mean that she will produce well without the best of feed and care.Breed- ! ing in the dairy cow enables her to make better use of the raw material given her.The good cow well fed and managed will usually pay as much | profit as two or three common cows, and in some cases it has been found ! one cow ylelded as much actual profit as was obtained from ten others in the herd.; Roots ar Datry Feed.! In our corn raising states comparatively little attention is paid to the feeding of roots.European and many | Canadian farmers make much of them as a feed for cattle, Roots are less desirable for the feeding steer than for the dairy cow, as they tend to form a more watery carcass.This is not 80 detrimental to the dairy cow, as good results from their feeding in Jersey and England attest, Feeding Grain With Pastore.Experiments at the New York station show that the henefits of feeding the grain were not all realized the season in which It was fed, but that it rendered the animals capable of greater production the following season.It also shows that for each pound of grain fed an extra pound of milk was secured, Knowing the value of each, we can easily compute whether the feeding of grain was or was not a paying practice.The experimenters estimated that the feeding of grain when pasture is good is neither a paying nor a losing Investment, but that it would pay if the pasture were poor.Feeding the Calves.Do not put the calves In pasture to be tortured by flies and to suffer from the hot sun.The proper place in a roomy, airy box stall with the windows slightly darkened during the heat of the day.Give a fresh lot of early ef clover hay every day, and remove any that is not eaten before more is put In, When calves are kept in the stable, they should be given now and then a piece of sod with tbe earth attached.\u2014 Farm Journal.Two or Three Meals For Cows.' During the past winter an experiment , Was conducted in England to find out , whether it would he more profitable to give three meals a day instead of two, as had been the custom.A number of cows were given two menls a day and another lot three meals.At \u2018the close of the experiment the following conclusfon was drawn: That there is practically no difference in the amount of feed consumed of in the amount of milk produced between two or three feeds a day.The former is , the most profitable way, howevez, on i account of involving less labor and ; time.\u2014~Farmers Adicate.bE ow \u2018 \u201cwater.was owned and exhibited fluenced by more or less completely removing the buttermilk.Butter lightly washed possesses a quicker flavor, but goes off In quality more rapldly than that which is thoroughly freed from buttermilk, The latter lacks flavor when first made, but develops this after a few days.Weak brine Is very effectual in removing all trace of milk iu the butter and a handful of salt may Le stirred Into the last Care should be exercised and the ngltation of the churn such that ' the granular appearance of the butter :18 not affected in the operation.This condition must he preserved until after the salt has Leen added.The Dairy Thermometer, A glass dairy thermometer costs but 25 cents at any drug store or dairy supply house, yet it Is inestimable in Its value to the buttermaker, rays Mrs, E.E.Rockwood in National Stockman, With it she can foretell results and know exactly how the butter is going to come.It also enables her to avoid waste, since a low temperature Is necessary to exhaustive churning.When butter comes quickly and looks white and soft It goes without saying that more or lers of the fat has gone into the buttermilk.A sample of it tried with a Babcock tester might surprise those unfamiliar with its work in detecting loss.Holstein Prise Winner, The Holsteln cow Jolle Johanna was dropped March 24, 1804, and {8 a very fine animal, with more white than fe usual with Holstein cattle.She was {n the cow demoustration at the world\u2019s fafr.During the 120 days she produced ; 6030.6 pounds of milk, containing 221.0 pounds of butter fat and

at the world's fair, .producing 544.6 pounds of milk, 10.7 pounds of butter fat, equal to 24.7 pounds of butter containing 80 per cent fat.Jolie Johanna won over 8800 in prize money at the world's falr.She by the World's Fair Holatein-Friesfan association and subsequently sold to the Colorado Agricultural college.Relieving Calves From Flies.During the summer months files are a constant torment to young calves.The entomological department of the Kansas State Agricultural college has been experimenting and compounding various substances in order to produce an effective and economical mixture which when applied to the surface of an animal would ward off the files.As a result of these experiments it has succeeded in producing the following formula, which seems to answer the purpose reasonably well: Resin, 3% pounds; laundry soap, two cakes; fish oil, a half pint; enyngh water to make three gallons.Dinsolve the resin in a molutinn of soup and water by heating, add the fish oll and the rest of the water.Apply with a brush, If to he used ss a spray, add a half pint of kerosene.The Kicking Cos, There are many recommended methods of dealing with kicking cows, One, which is by some found to he very effective, Is to rope or strap the hind legs together just above the hock.The rope or strap should be put on In the form of a figure 8, having it cross between the legs.Some milkers apply the rope close down to the feet and fasten it to a ring in the floor.Rather than fasten the rope securely, it Is better at the first trial to bave an attendant to bold the rope, so that he can loosen It in case the cow throws bes oui in ber efforts $0 hick, 3 sa abr A + pon aya SR 3 aga mem A ES ESS 7 co £ Gsée iomatalrios 365 ; .0 RE OPT RY conn Vit fiw Tt pei Ses a x Coan Ti edi

horse which ' readily accustom him to the general excitement and bustle, and he pays (little attention to the auto.In the jcountry the contrary is the case, -everything is quiet; there is nothing to divert the horse\u2019s attention from the approaching auto.The sound of the horn arouses his nerves, and he contemplates the sneaking stealth of the machine as it approaches with increasing terror, and he turns completely around in the road or takes to or across the ditch or into the rocks, with dire consequences in any case.This is not so always but is has been so in far too many cases, and the result is that one never meets an auto without the fear of a smash-up.Many villagers are selling their driving horses, and such a thing as ladies going alone for a drive, or of farmers\u2019 wives and daughter, driving to the villages alone to do shopping is becoming almost a recollection.Driving is no more an unmixed pleasure, there is always the danger of meeting one of these hideous looking things, with the above results.Our roads have been constructed by the proprietors of the land through which they run, and are adapted to the use for which they were constructed.They are wide enough and safe enough for our citizens if horses are the motive power used, they are not wide enough and they are not safe if automobiles are used and driven according to the present practice.I do not advocate the prohibition of automobiles on our country roads, I quite approve of them when driven with due regard for the rights and safety of others, but what I wish to ask is who should have the preference if preference there should be, and I maintain there should be, the driver of the horse or the driver of the auto?The horse is an absolute neceseity to the inhabitants of the rural sections of the country, and is one of the greatest of the limited sources of pleasure to many who do not require him for business.Without the horse agriculture, the chief industry of the Province and Country, would be; impossible unless we return to the ox team, and who could not afford the luxury of an automobile would have to take their outings on foot.Surely every preference and every protection should be given to those to whom the horse is a necessity and to whom the auto is at present a crying menace.A law was placed upon our Statute Book in 1808 which regulated the speed of all such motor vehicles and which required them to stop at the signal of a horseman in order to lessen the danger of passing, but this law has been, and is, almost universally ignored.What more shall and must be done to assure the safety of our people in the legitmate use of an animal upon our highways which is an absolute necessity, and the breeding and raising of which has received, and je receiving national£encouragement.Those who have not been personally up against this question do not realize how serious it has become.Surely the safety of those who use horses should outweigh the mere pleasure of, and inconvenience to Stanstead.Another claim is that Co- aticook is a place of greater popula-' tion and has better hotel accommodations than the smaller sister village of Stanstead.In this respect Stanstead is only one of the \u2018\u2018\u201cThree Villages\u201d which have ample hotel accommodations.The Observer also argues that additional advantages must necessarily come from holding the fair in the | place having tbe largest population.The population of a town does not always make a fair.Montreal is the largest city in Canada, but it bas never been able to keep a fair alive.It would take about twenty Sherbrookes to make one Montreal and yet Sherbrooke has the best fair in the Province.In Vermont Barton has always been able to distance Newport in the fair business.Coaticook and Stan- stead have both had their fairs and the one at Stanstead outlived the other by several years.We do not blame the people of Coaticook for trying to get the fair, but we can see nothing in the arguments so far advanced to prove that Coaticook is a HARVESTING IN THE WESTERN PROVINCES.\u2018Thirteen thousand men will be required in the harvesting of 100,000,000 bushels of grain now ripening

AFTER ITS PECULIAR FASHION THE WEAPONS ARE THE THIN EDGED TOOLS OF DIPLOMACY.Upon the Diplomatic Ability of the Men Chosen to Represent the ' Japanese Nation Will Depend Whether the Empire Will Reap in Full the Results of Her Splendid Victories\u2014Upon the Russian Envoys Will Depend the Rescue of the Nation From Utter Rout and Helplessness\u2014The Personnel of the Peace Commission.Now that the Initial preliminaries looking toward a peace conference between Russia and Japan have been definitely arranged and the place of meeting has been agreed upon, the subject of the making of peace treaties becomes of general interest.Since the procedure in the case of every peace convention made during the BARON KOMURA, Chief Plenipotentiary for Japan.last five centuries has been practical ly the same, it is safe to infer that the coming proceedings at Portsmouth, N.H., will not vary greatly from the established custom.It will be as keen a contest after its own pecullar fashion as was the slow and murderous land siege of Port Arthur.The weapons are the thin edged tools of diplomacy, and they will be wielded quite as dexterously as were the arms at Port Arthur.The importance of the work cannot be overestimated\u2014upon the negotiations made at Portsmouth depend the results of one of the greatest wars of modern times.Upon the diplomatic ability of the men chosen to represent the Japanese nation in this great final conflict of words much that is vital to the empire must be contingent.They will decide finally whether or not the empire is to reap : in full the fruits of her splendid vic- | tory.The responsibility which will rest upon the Russian Commissioners will be equally weighty.They must fight with greater skill than was shown upon the fleld by Kuropatkin or upon the sea by the ill-fated Makar- off.They must combat a firm and importunate demand for both territory and treasure, It will be the one remaining opportunity to rescue the Russian nation from utter rout and helplessness.The fiction of her prow- ets in war has been settled definitely.She must prove, if.she is able, that ler oldtime reputation for diplomacy bad a better foundation, It would seem that a cessation of hostilities must in every instance precede the peace overtures.This, however, does not always happen.In the Present case the war shows no sign of coming to an immediate end until after the peace negotiations have been fully begun.An armistice would ave been of infinite advantage to Russia, but it could not have been granted by her victorious opponent until it was made absolutely certain that the Czar was acting in good faith.First in order must come the protocoi, or preliminary peace.The Protocol {8 not an armistice.An armistice leaves the question of the war undecided, The protocol comes only after an assurance of redress is obtained and provides the general terms ong hich the war sha me to an The protocol 1s a flexible instrument and is intended only as

delegation will begin the practical part of the negotiations by reading at length the demands and ultimatum of his Government.An adjournment will : then be taken in order to give the | Russian commission time to com- ! municate with the home Government i by cable and to receive its reply and instructions as to further procedure.| pieidie the Japanese present an un- Yielding demand for territorial distri- ! bution and show a disposition to continue the war until the ratification of the treaty there may be an adjourn- | ment of the commission, the delega- } tions returning home and reporting failure to thelr respective Governments.The opportunity for parleying and quibbling will be unlimited and - frequently much time is consumed.If Japan and Russia conform to the usual custom the treaty will be drawn upon large sheets of the heaviest white linen paper, folip size.It will be in manuscript throughout.The entire text of the instrument will be in two columns, one in Japanese, and the other, an exact translation, in Russian.All treaties are written by the most expert penmen procurable, and if the coming document is to be of Japanese construction there is little doubt that it will be an artictic affair, A treaty of peace between nations usually begins \u201cIn the name of the most holy and undivided Trinity.\u201d Whenever Turkey has been a party to such a convention the form has been, \u201cIn the name of Almighty God.\u201d The former was written in bold letters across the head of the treaty of Paris, neither was employed in the treaty of Ghent, and the latter was used in the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which concluded the Mexican war.In the case of Japan, which is not yet committed to the forms current in Christian nations, some other Introduction will probably be employed.At least two origipal copies of the treaty and perhaps several certified copies will be signed, the latter for convenience.One original \u2018copy will be placed on file in the ; Ministry of Foreign Affairs at Tokio and another at the State Department at St.Petersburg.Every nation is permitted by international law to use its own language in its treaties, whether for peace or any other purpose, Until the eighteenth century Latin was the only text employed.This was because educated men of all countries were familiar ; Wtih the Latin, and it was the language of scholars and of the church.At a later period French became the , language of diplomacy, but since the | time of Frederick the Great the Ger- ; man speaking powers have been using their own tongue.More recently Eng- i lish has become a popular treaty language.Even the treaty between China and Japan was written in English, and it is not at all unlikely that the Portsmouth document\u2014if there should be one\u2014will be written fn that language.\u2018When the treaty is concluded it will be signed by all the representatives of the two peacemaking powers.Each delegation will retain a copy.On the Japanese copy the Russian signatures will appear first and on the Russian copy the Japanese names will have the precedence.The signing of the .treaty must be followed by its ratification.Under international law the treaty is not bindiag if the commissioners have exceeded the authority which was granted them.Neither is the Government allowed to exceed its constitutional powers, and every treaty made outside the country must BARON TAKAHIRA, Second Envoy of she Japanese.be subjected to the proper test.It is very rare, however, for a nation to repudiate the work of its commissioners.Peace treaties of the present age are an outgrowth of the amenities of modern warfare.In the ancient days the negotiation of a treaty was a \u201cstand and deliver\u201d affair.Take, for example, the one made by JuHus Caesar at the close of his eight years\u2019 campaign In Gaul, as told by himself in his famous \u201cCommentaries.\u201d He admits frankly that he took everything that was movable and carried it into Italy, leaving peace behind him, but little else.One of the most important of old- time peace treaties was that of Westphalia, concluded Oct.24, 1648.It ended the Thirty Years' war, in which Gustavus Adolphus fought so valiantly.This long and bloody conflict had its beginning in a religious controversy.The Protestants had begun to as- gert themselves and had seized church lands and converted them to their own purposes, Ferdinand of Austria was a faithful son of the church, and he was also a shrewd political schemer.He coaxed Spain to become his partner in a campaign to subjugate the small German states and restore the old religion.The trouble spread like a conflagration and all Europe was soon involved in it.After awhile it lost its religious character, France uniting with the Protestants.Finally the Emperor was beaten at his own game and was driven to sign the treaty of Westphalia, This document is the basis of the map of modern Europe.It recognized the independence of Holland and Switzerland, established the religious equality of Catholics, Lutherans and Calvinists anl gave Alsace to France and a part of Pomerania to Sweden, It arrested the scheme of German federation and made the states of the empire practically independent : of the Emperor.It prepared the way for the subsequent development of : the power of Prussia.' ended by the peace of Ryswick.Whatever else may be said of Louis XIV.of ; France it is certain that he had no especial preference for a quiet life.In his day he managed to come to blows with almost every power in Europe, and frequently he had several of them on hand at the same time.At the death of his Spanish father-in-law, Philip IV., he invaded Flanders, which belonged, he declared, to his wife, Marla \u2018l'heresa.England, Hoiland and Sweden combined to thwart him and forced him to sign the peace of Aix la Chapelle.He remained quiescent for four years and then invaded Holland, That war lasted about five years and ended with the treaty of Nime- guen.It was during this war that the Dutch opened the water gates und let in the German ocean.Willlam of Orange began to forge to the frent, and the first great coalition of Eu'o- pean powers was formed.Again tiring of inactivity, Louis began what was known as the war of the Palatinate, which lasted eleven years.Then it was that William, now King of Eng: land, formed the great alliance between England, Spain Holland and BARON SERGITS WITTE, Chief Plenipotentiary of Russia.Germany and forced the French King to sign the peace of Ryswick, whereby be was obliged to relinquish rather more than he had acquired.The celebrated treaty of Utrecht put an end to a war which had lasted for fourteen years.It was all about the Spanish succession and was caused by the attempt of that chronic peace breaker Louis of France, to seat his son on the Spanish throne, which had been willed to him by Charles II.The allles under Marlborough proved too formidable for Louis, and he finally gave up his scheme and signed the treaties of Utrecht and Rastadt, the parties to the convention being France, Great Britain, Portugal, Prussia, Savoy, Holland and Spain.Many important changes were the result of that treaty and France fared rather poorly.The French prince got the Spanish crown and England got the Hudson bay region, St, Kitts, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland.The Hanoverian succession, as arranged by Parliament, was acknowledged by the powers.thus shutting off a pack of claimants.Spain ceded Gibralter to Great Britain and agreed not to transfer to France or any other continental power any further territory in America, There were many other provisions one of them beinz that a British company was given the exclusive contract for thirty years to supply Spanish- America with negro slaves.When England acknowledged that she could never reconquer her rebellious American colonies negotiations were opened for concluding a treaty of peace.Paris was chosen as the place of conference, although the English commissioners would have preferred some other point, There were so many and such serious differences at the early meetings of the commissioners that progress was very slow and adjournments were frequent, There were no cables or steamships in those days, and it took a good deal of time to send home for instructions.The commissioners were a long time in agreeing on the provisional articles, and there were many occasions when it seemed as though any sort of agreement would be impossible.On Nov.13, 1782, the protocol was signed by Richard Oswald, commissioner for King George, and John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, John Jay and Henry Laurens on behalf of the United States.\u201cWe hope the terms we have obtained will be satisfactory, though to secure our main points we may have yielded too much in favor of the royalists,\u201d wrote Franklin to Livingston.It soon became evident, however, that the King and his Ministers did not see the matter in that light.They were disposed to belleve that the American commissioners had not yielded enough.It was not until Aug.6 of the following year that King George could make up his mind to ratify the treaty.A definitive treaty which was practically the same as the preliminary Instrument, was signed at Paris and on Jan.4, 1784, it was confirmed by the American congress.So slow were the means of communication and so deliberate was his Britannic Majesty in affixing his signature that it did not become effective until April 9.The treaty of Ghent although It took four months and a half for negotiation, was a strictly business affair.The document itself is brief and to the point.It contains no reference to the causes which brought on the war, but proceeds at once to settle the ownership of lands.It defines the boundary line between Canada and the United States with great minuteness and also states the American position on the right of paper search, paper blockades and the right of expatriation.These doctrines have since become recognized principles of fn- ternational law.By this treaty the United States obtained part of the state of Maine.When this subject was proposed by one of the Americans, an English member remarked sarcastically that it seemed hardly worth while to waste much time over a few acres of worthless land.Henry Clay, John Quincy Adams, Albert Gallatin and David Russell were the | i ; commission ; capi Flan .Another long European quarrel was | pita) of east ders | : department to that country to nego- ! commissioners.They took ship for the Netherlands and met the British at Ghent, the ancient During the decade and a half between 1800 and 1815 Napolean conquered and lost most of the European continent.His banishment to 8t.Helena was followed by the peace congress at Vienna, which was in some respects the most importnat treaty meeting ever held.It was practically a meeting of dictators to arrange the map of Europe as best suited them.Eight powers were represented\u2014 Great Britain, Russia, Austria, Prussia, France, Spain, Portugal and Sweden.The most brilliant diplomats of Europe were in attendance, and there Was a tremendous sharpening of wits.The grand powwow was in progress for more than a year, and while it was in session Napoleon escaped.There was a brave scattering when the news was made public.Each man of words - made haste to get under cover and diplomacy ianguished.After Waterloo, .however, the way was clear.The peace that was made lasted for forty years and was really the foundation of pub- .lic law long held sacred as the common basis of right of every member of the European family.After General Scott had won the war with Mexico, President Polk sent Nicholas Trist, chief clerk of the state tiate treaty of peace.General Scott resented the president's action and he was 80 outspoken in his wrath that Trist was officially recalled, but remained to complete his work.The | : Mexican president, Santa Anna, was not on hand to conduct the Mexican end of the conference, but the president of the provisional congress as- + sumed power and a treaty of peace was made and signed at Guadalupe i Hidalgo, a little suburb of the city of Mexico.By the terms of this convention Mexico lost California and New Mexico.The Crimean war was brought to a close by the treaty of Paris of March 30, 1856.The parties of this agree- | ment were Austria, France, Great Britain, Russia, Sardinia and Turker.These powers had lonz been at the point of rupture, but it was Russian greed tnat precipitated the conflict.The Czar seized some of the minor Danubian provinces, over which the Sultan held à quasi suzerainty, it took about a year to convince him that he had exceeded his right.During that period occurred the desperate battles of Inkerman and Balaklava.The treaty that followed made the Black sea neutral to all commerce, but closed to ships of war except a specified revenue force for Russia and Turkey.It also shut out all vessels ol war from the Dardanelles, and the i Russians were required to abandon their alleged protectorate of the Danu- - bilan provinces.The American civil war had a pe- cullar ending.There was never any peace treaty, but the war ended with the surrender of General Lee at Appo- BARON ROBEX, Second Envoy of Russian Commission.mattox Court House.Technically, the war closed in each state at the time of the proclamation of its close in that state was made.Poetic imagery has clothed the episode of Lee\u2019s surrender in fanciful terms, but it was a very simple affair.Rather than subject his men to further slaughter General Lee made up bis mind to surrender, and some correspondence took place between the two commanders in reference to the matter.Lee offered to treat for peace after the usual method but Grant declined on the ground of lack of authority.The leaders met in the little parlor of W.McLean's farmhouse at Appomattox Court House and talked it all over.Grant demanded, as the easiest way out of the dilemma, that Lee's men should lay down their arms, upon which they would be granted parole.ihe gallant Virginian accepted, and that, in effect, was all the peace treaty that hag ever existed between the Federal Government and the Confederacy.In the peace treaty that concluded the Franco-Prussian war Germany drove a hard bargain with her defeated enemy.The Kaiser's army was en- trencaeu just outside of Paris when the preliminaries were signed.After the capture of the gay capital Emperor Willlam added to the original demand an indemnity of $1,200,000,000.M.Thiers succeeded in having this stupendous sum reduced to $1,000,000,- 000.Most galling of all was the conversion of the long disputed Alsace and Lorraine into German provinces.In the following spring the definitive treaty was signed at Frankfurt-on.Main, and the original articles confirmed.Germany gained a territory of about 5,500 square miles, containing 1,600,000 population, all of which had once been taken from ft by the French.The latest war between Russia and Turkey, that of 1877, was ended by the preliminary peace of San Stefano, followed by the treaty of Berlin.It has never been difficult for a Christian nation to find a pretext for beginning a quarrel with the Turk, and the Czar's excuse was the massacre of the Christians in Bulgaria by the bashi-bazouks, As it was evident that Turkey was llkely to get the most thorough drubbing she had ever received, the powers interfered and insisted upon a treaty.The Sultan was a tremendous loser, but the Turk still remained in power sufficient to \u201cpreserve the peace of Europe.\u201d and t China and Japan.It is especially note worthy because {t was the first peace treaty between oriental maticns conducted after the Caucasian fashion.John W.Foster, once the herd of the American department of state, was one of the representatives of China.By its terms Japan recelved an indemnity of $200,050,600 and acquired the rich island of Formosa.The Spantsh-Americac war treaty signed and ratified in 15%, vus the latest additvn to the coll oiien of such documents on fle in the Vrary of the state department.On July 26, 1898, Spain made overtures for peace through the French ambassador at Washington, who was authorized to act for Spain durinz the pir-Vininar- les.On Aug.12 the protocol was concluded and arrangements were made for the meeting of a peace commis: slon at Paris.After many prolong} d'scussions and threatened failures the treaty was signed bv the cong.missioners Dee, 10 1899, It was rar! fled by the American Senate Feb.\u20ac and signed by the Quecn Regent of Spain March 17.All the members of the diplomatie quartette,

very long day in restless pursuit of big game.At his urgeut request the guide conducted the party to the noarest inn the wilderness afforded.Aimusement was created in the presidential party when the chlef executive, .whose identity had been kept a secret, wus given a seat at the family boani.It was increased when huge portions of corned beef and cabbage were passed from the hend of the table, where sat the host.The first plate to make its appearance was beaped very high.It reached a small boy and got no further.The president sighed to express his envy and disap- polntinent.\u201cJohnny,\u201d exclaimed the host sharply, \u201cthat ben\u2019t fer you; thet be fer the stranger.\u201d Much to the amusement of all, the president seized the rim of the plate on one side, while Jolinuy held the other.There was a moment of doubt.Then the president, softly and with a twinkle In his eye, but with inexorable decision, leaned over and spoke into the red, resentful face of the hungry boy: \u201cJohnny.\u201d he said, \u201clet go.\u201d Jobnny let go.\u2014Success.THE MILKY WAY.One of the Great Problems of the Science of Astronomy.Some of the strenms of fainter
