A. Macdonald) . For a hundred years the United States and Canada have joined in presenting to the world an example of civilized in- ternationalism in North America which is without preeedent or parallel in any age or on any continent. Across this continent from ocean to ocean there is stretched for 4,000 miles of river and lake and open plain and inountain gorge, an international line, unbarbarized by fortress or battleship or unmenaced by any thought or fear of war. The inter- national fact is unmatchorl anywhere in all the world. It is Ameriea's greatest message to the world. It affirms the doctrine of this world's new democracy. That a nation's real security is not in the reight of the power of brute force, but in the character °fits people, in the ,unity of their national life, and in the world of their national purpose. Can- ada, with only 6,000,000 of people, and with neither standing army nor even the beginnings of a navy, and next door to the United States, with its 90,000,000, holds half a continent in a peace the militarized nations of Europe never knew. The defences of American in- ternationa/ism are not in steel plate and long range guns, but in the civilized feelings and ideas and standards of America's democracy. Foot Perecre,tes.

Under the primitive nIn1ng con- ditions of to -day the Chem clietriet of Colombia stands second only to Russia as a producer q platinum. Most of the gold and platinum export- ed aro obtained by native women, working two or three hours per day. They use the antiqualed ground sluicing proem as a preliminary to get rid of the coareer gravels and then with their "bateas" separate the metals from the sand and gravel. The batea le a wooden pan, shaped like a very shallow inverted cone, eighteen inches in diameter end three inches deep at the centre, with two small handles or knobs, on the rim. The wonien handle the bateas with great dexterity, throwing off the gravel and sand by a rotary motion and leaving the gold and platinum dust in the common centre. Another method of mining that is extensively employed by these wo- men is diving into three or four feet of water for the sand and gravel con- taining the metals and bringing it up in the bateas. This method is usual- ly more remunerative than the sluic- ing process. The gold workings have existed for centuries, but little has been done In the develop/lie/it of the district. The river gravels were being washed by the Indians long before the ad- vent of the Spaniards, and this re- f -41011, furnished much of the gold that was Carried hack to Spain. In those days the value of platinum was un- known, and when the Indians brought the metal down to the Span- ish headquarters in Quibdo the plat. inum was thrown away. • Large finds of this discarded met- al have been made recently in Quib- do, and frequently the earth excavat- ed for foundationa has yielded suffi- cient quantities of platinum to pay for putting up the building. The na- tives were beginning to pan even the streets, thus uncovering large amounts of mud, which was injurious to health. A decree was therefore promulgated in 1913 prohibiting any further washing of earth in the streets of Quibdo. Silent Auctions. Japanese auctions are noiseless affairs. In many parts of japan an odd little booth serves as such a room. The auctioneer holds aloft the object offered for sale in order that all may see it. To the strange/ it appears that the object is not de- sired by anybody, although all seem to examine it closely. Not a word Is said by any prospective customer, but a number of them march off to a little box .in the corner, wherein they deposit certain little slips. Il one's curiosity be aroused by this procedure a japanese will explain the method of conducting the sale, The bits of paper represent the bids, and wieen all have been deposited the box is opened, and the highesi amount offered buys the article, These noiseless auctions are much patronized by the japanese. For the Common Good. Towo planning, let it be under, stood, is not a movement to make towns beautiful in a superficial sense. Its purposes are fuhdameotal; It aims consciously to provide those fa- cilities that are for the common good, that concern eveerybody; it seeks to save waste, the almost incalculable Waste due to unskillful and planless procedure, for by doing of things at the right time and in the right way Comprehensive city planning saves far more than its cost. It endeavors also to establish the individuality of a city —to catch its peculiar spirit, to pre. serve its distinctive flavor, to accent its particular physical situation.— John Nolan. Outreasoning Reason. Little Raymond's m'other had told him that she should put him to bed if he disobeyed her command in a certain matter. Temptation over- came him, and when his mother proceeded to futall, her duty sobs of anguish filled the room. "But, Raymond," said the mother gently, "I told you I should punish yOU in this way if yell disobeyed, and mother must keep her word, you know." Between muffled sobs Raymond managed to say, "You needn't break your word, mamma, but couldn't you change your mind?" Forces a Discharge. "The Japanese servant has many curious traits," said the man who keeps one, "besides his constant habit of eating raw fish, but he is inordin- ately polite, as a rule. For instance, he fiever will give you notice that he Wishes to leave you. Instead his work will grow steadily worse and worse till you can't Stand it any longer, a,nd so you fire him. It's always done purposely to avoid the necessity of telling you outright that he is tired of youl and wants to quit." Lucky Will.

Blood Feud Is a Recognized Usage In Balkan State. The pluck of Prince William of Wied, who has been chosen by the Powers as the first sovereign of Al- bania, and who is now endeavoring to settle down at Duraezo, the capital, has aroused the admiration of Eu- rope. No man was ever faced with a more stupendous task, for the Alban- ians have never known a King, and they certainly know no law. For the most part the prince will find his subjects half-clvilized mountaineers, frank to a friend, vindicative to an enemy, and every man a la,w unto hinlsheelf TAlbanians live in a perpetual state of anarchy. Even the peasant in the fields bristles with weapons, for he loves warfare and brigandage fa: better than cattle -rearing or agriculture—hence the poor cultiva- , tion of the soil! Ile its always on guard against his enemies, and constantly seoking the blood of those who have done him an injury. In all parts of Albania the ven- detta or blood feud is an established usage, and a man would be disgraced in the eyes of his friends and rela- tives if he did not kill an enemy who had injured him or any of those be- longing to him. Delay in vengeance is held dishonorable. The man who will let years pass without killing his enemy becomes himself an out- I cast. Furthermore, till he has taken I vengeance he cannot marry, or if he • is married he may give neither his 'sons nor his daughters in marriage. The first task that confronts Prince William is to stamp out these blood feuds and endeavor to carry , some semblance of law into the ' mountains. It is, however, an al- • most impossible task, for the duty of revenge is a sacred tradition handed down to successive generations in the family, village, and the tribe. The consequence is that neighbors, villages, and even the several quar- ters .of the same to-wn are constantly at war with one another. A single case of homicide often leads to a series of similar crimes or to protracted warfare between neigh- boring families and communities. A murderer, as a rule, takes refuge in the mountains 'from the avenger of blood, or remain for years shut up in his house. The latter is, in many cases, like a fortress, the only win- dows of which are loopholes for riflee; and in these .houses families sometimes of a hundred people lead self-centred lives. Many men have not left their houses for years, and food has to be brought into them by their friends. Others again have taken to flight after killing an enemy, and unable to sleep in their homes or to till their fields, exist by brigan- dage, the latter being regarded as quite a legitimate form of livelihood. Sometimes a truce, either tempor- ary or permanent, is arranged by the intervention of the clergy, and occa- sionally a general truce is proclaim- ed. Between conflicting parties the restoration' of peace is celebrated with elaborate ceremonies. In some districts, however, there is a fixed price for blood, and a feud may be avoided if the homicide Pays, by way of compensation to the rela- tives of his viethn, sums ranging from $60 to $100, according to the district Once a debt has been thus acquitted amicable relations are re- stored. Curiously enough, although the Al- banians are so lawless, they do not make war on women. In fact a wo- man may traverse a hostile district without fear Dr injury, and Is often employed as an intermediary in the settlement of a feud. • One Point Gained. "Has that girl next door to you still got her parlor melodeon?" "No; she exchaeiged it for a cor- net, I'm glad to say." "But, gracious, if she plays the cornet, that's worse, isn't it?" "Not at all. It's only half as bad. She can't sing while she's playing the cornet.' WAS BOTHERED WITH BILIOUSNESS AND SOUR STOMACH FOR 20 YEARS Sour Stomach and Biliousness are caused by a sluggish Liver, for when it is twit working properly, it holds back the bile, which is so essential to promote the movement of the bowels, and the bile gets into he blood instead of passing through the usual channel, thus ceasing many Stoniaeh and bowel troubles.
