A curious fact is described in the
paper, Il Tobacco, regarding the tam-
ing of wild camels by the natives of
Morocco. .A three -cornered piece of
wood, through which a hole is drilled,
is placed in the mouth of the camel,
and a lighted cigar, very large and
loosely rolled, is then inserted in the
hole. As soon as the animal starts to
draw it becomes very tame, and con-
tinues to inhale the stnok,; and to emit
it through its nose. As soon as the
first cigar is finished a new one must
be put in its place, otherwise the camel
becomes furious and. very stubborn,
fixes its legs in the ground, and cannot
be made to move until the cigar smokes
again.

"In justice to humanity I want to

FOFI LONG TIME
Canada and the United State* Have
Peon it Peace for Hum
orad Years
A century of peace between Canada.
anti the Called States is the theme of
interviews obtained from several
Canadians..
Hon. Mr. Justice Riddell.
"11 parties fully recognize that
political union between the United
States and Canada is wholly out of
the question. As well ask Michigan
to leave the United States and unite
her destinies with those of the Minim
ion as asic Canada to unite leers with
talose of the United States," said Mr.
HON. MR. JUSTICE RIDDELL
Justice Riddell, of Toronto. "And yet
we should not forget that we are in
great measure of kindred origin, of thei
same tongue, of kindred institutions
and kindred aspirations. We are, how-
ever, on both sides of the line, too
prone to dwell on something which is
not our true glory. We should all
think and say. less of warlike Prowess
exhibited in the past, and think and
say more of peace and the many
treaties whereby peace was preserved.
There are many histories of the War
of 1812 but none of the arbitration
treaties since 1793; and yet these
should be considered the real glory
of the past. I know of no more useful
project than the publication and cir-
culation among our people of the story
of these treaties, the proceedings . un-
der them and the splendid result. The
mind of our. people should be filled
with the grandeur of peace, not with
the horrors of war. 'Peace on earth: "
Archibald McGoun, K.P.
"One of the messages to humanity
of the Prince of Peace was 'Think not
that I am come to send peace on earth:
I came not to send peace but a sword,' "
said Archibald MoGoun, K.C., Mont-
real. "And yet it is only Christianity
that can bring peace to nations, The
citizens must force their governments
to respect the rights of other nations,
especially the weals, Foreign policy
should be magnanimous, but if mag-
nanimity is met with a hostile return,
a great Power must fall back on its
inherent force to maintain the just
rights of its people. Under Canning,
Aberdeen and Gladstone, honest ef-
l'or•ts were made in this direction, but
the most striking example was the
policy of James VI., the great Peace -
raker, who was in advance of his
time in insisting that even Spaniards
:Nero entitled to the observance of
International good faith. Lord Mans-
'ield extended the same rule to Pagan
nations. The doctrine of Anglo-Saxon
supremacy is utterly pernicious. It is
an insult tot only to other nations,
het even to members of other races
in the I;ritish and American nations.
f3ut fraud and corruption, equally with
war and violence; are subversive of
•rational peace, and where these are
•,sed sentiments are kept alive which
will justify resort to war if the injured
•ation thinks it can be successfully
,indcrtaken. Canada must assume no
subordinate role. She must have all
lie attributes of national greatness in
her delaings with all other countries,
and this is quite attainable as a full
partner in the control of the British
Empire. Towards tho United States
we must show, not subservience, but
friendliness and a spiritof justice and
fair play."
Inspector Hughes
"Throughout the ages it has been
the practice of mankind to celebrate
the anniversaries of great national
achievements, says Inspector Hughes,
'1'crinito, "and of victories which
.narked epochs it1 ilunian progress, or
which broke some of the bonds o2
tyranny and gave freedom to a nation
or to a race. As the minds of men
bave grown broader and more accus-
tomed to the vision of the true bro.
tberiiood of titan, the tendency grows
stronger"to celebrate the anniversaries
of deeds and discoveries which have
brought joy and hope and uplift and
progress and happiness to the whole
of humanity. It is clearly in harmony
with the ifutdern ileal to celebrate a
ren€ury of pelace between two great
nations and to note the marvellous
tlevelopniehc macre during this won-
derful peace epoch. Such a Mein .-
tion
tion will do much to awaken higher
Ideals and standal'ds In the rnhlds of
men and women throughout the world.
The union of two great Anglo-Saxon
nations in celebrating the ac'hiove-
nlents of peace 'should be a sugg .i1ftve
example to all flattens, and it should
reveal more
clearly to Great Britain
and the united States themselves the
highest moral ideal which humanity
can yet conceive, which is unity."

The surveyors found more bears there
than they did on the Stikine River,
and goon realized that these animals e
were disposed to be friendly, Appar-
ently their food supplies were. abun-
dant, and the bears, though pal'iug
frequent visits, never attenpteer to
molest the men. The smell of frying
bacon proved irresistible, and, the
bears came close enough for tidbits
to be thrown to them, Finally they
took to visiting the camps and forag•
ing for themselves at night, but the
men resented this, although the bears
never disturbed their privacy. Tlie
region is extremely rough, being a
vast series of high peaks covered with
eternal snow. It was impossible to
place boundary pillars there, and the
triangulation work and photographs
will form the record. In all about four
hundred square miles of the territory
was covered. This involved the climb-
ing of high peaks, Some of them hav-
ing an elevation of over eight thou-
sand feet. The Muddy River, a tribu-
tary of the Taku, rises at the foot,of
a glacier which is believed to be the
largest glacier in the world. The gla•
cier, not counting its arms and the
snows in the vicinity is easily tweniy'
miles long. The surveyors scaled and
crossed it at different points. Depr, s
sions, owing to tha y, existed, and
sweeping through the icy banks were
swept down the mountain side with the
speed of en avalan"h., In eight hours
the river rose twenty-two feet, and the
canna and supplies had to be hastily
removed. The boundary lice zig-sags a5
good deal. •
ALBERTA GAM L- LAWS
New Provisions Gavernino the Slaugh-
ter of Chickens
The Alberta Government have made
important amendments to the Game
Act. Perhaps the most important of
all are the provisions for the protec-
tion of prairie chickens, the slaughter
of which has been so common in the
past. In future hunters will be limited
to ten chickens per man per day. The
opening of the duck season will be
changed front August twenty-third to
September first.
In future a residential bird license
of $1.25 will be necessary before game
birds can be shot. Provision is made
for the protection of I-Iungarian part-
ridge.
Game wardens in the future are to
possess the power to make arrests.
Fines of not less than $50 or more
than $100 are provided for offenders
under tare Act. •
Non-residents, the guests of set-
tlers, must pay $5 for the privilege of
hunting as under the old Act. A pro-
vision is also made that residents,
accompanying non-residents without
licenses, are equally offenders under
the law.

Fairbault, of the Dominion Geological
Survey, J. H. Valiquette, engineer of
the Provincial Department of Mines,
spent three and a half months in
Northern Quebec, fn the region be-
tween Lake St. John and James Bay,
While the members were largely en-
gaged in prospecting they found the
waters abounding in many varieties of
fish. In some of the lakes members
of the party took speckled red trout
up to five and six pounds in weight
Huge gray lake trout or touladi were.
captured as well as white fish, pike
and pickerel. Plenty of featheied
game was seen, The only big game
killed was a bear, tho animals being
numerous along the route followed by
the explorers. This route traversed
some of the bunting ground of the
Montagnais Indians, and numbers of
the latter were soured as guides for
the expedition.
FIVE ACRES, PLUS
What Boys Were Able to 150 on et
Small Farm
Near a Maritime Province town a
man, his wife, and two sons lived on
a five -acre lot. The head of the house
ran a carriage shop and paid little at-
tention to the land. The boys paid
Mee attention, and were on the road
to nothing in particular. The father
died, leaving the place involved. 'Then
the boys awakened, and began to till
the five. acres. Last year they ex-
pected to sell by the end of the season
over one thousand dollars' worth of
produce front the five acres. Among
other things they marketed one half
acre of tomatoes and ono acre of,
green beans. The little farm is no
longer involved.

paper, Il Tobacco, regarding the tam-
ing of wild camels by the natives of
Morocco. .A three -cornered piece of
wood, through which a hole is drilled,
is placed in the mouth of the camel,
and a lighted cigar, very large and
loosely rolled, is then inserted in the
hole. As soon as the animal starts to
draw it becomes very tame, and con-
tinues to inhale the stnok,; and to emit
it through its nose. As soon as the
first cigar is finished a new one must
be put in its place, otherwise the camel
becomes furious and. very stubborn,
fixes its legs in the ground, and cannot
be made to move until the cigar smokes
again.
A Word of Gratitude,
"In justice to humanity I want to
tell you that I was a great sufferer
from itching piles, and have found Dr.
Chase's Ointment the best treatment
obtainable", writes Mr.. Fred Hinz,
Brodhagen, Ont., "It gives instant re-
lief and I can recommend it to any
sufferer from this dreadful disease."
HELPS IN COOKING.
Oil from the canned sardines may be
used in frying potato cakes.
Hot cakes or bread will cut easily, if
the knife is made hot.
A young rabbit can be easily known
by its sharp claws and brittle jaw -bone.
A piece of ham bone added to vege-
table or stock soup will improve the
flavor.
When peeling apples, pour boiling
water over teem. and the process , will
be more easily carried out.
If an oven is too hot, the tempera-
ture may be lowered by opening the lid
of the range a trifle.
After almonds are blanched and
buttered they may easily be browned
by shaking them over a fire in a corn-
popper -
Salt thrown into the oven immediate-
ly after something has been burned in
it will make the objectionable odor less
noticeable.
Fish that is to be fried ,should be or-
dered to be sent early, as it cooks much
better if previously rolled some time in
a clean cloth to insure perfect dryness.

FOFI LONG TIME
Canada and the United State* Have
Peon it Peace for Hum
orad Years
A century of peace between Canada.
anti the Called States is the theme of
interviews obtained from several
Canadians..
Hon. Mr. Justice Riddell.
"11 parties fully recognize that
political union between the United
States and Canada is wholly out of
the question. As well ask Michigan
to leave the United States and unite
her destinies with those of the Minim
ion as asic Canada to unite leers with
talose of the United States," said Mr.
HON. MR. JUSTICE RIDDELL
Justice Riddell, of Toronto. "And yet
we should not forget that we are in
great measure of kindred origin, of thei
same tongue, of kindred institutions
and kindred aspirations. We are, how-
ever, on both sides of the line, too
prone to dwell on something which is
not our true glory. We should all
think and say. less of warlike Prowess
exhibited in the past, and think and
say more of peace and the many
treaties whereby peace was preserved.
There are many histories of the War
of 1812 but none of the arbitration
treaties since 1793; and yet these
should be considered the real glory
of the past. I know of no more useful
project than the publication and cir-
culation among our people of the story
of these treaties, the proceedings . un-
der them and the splendid result. The
mind of our. people should be filled
with the grandeur of peace, not with
the horrors of war. 'Peace on earth: "
Archibald McGoun, K.P.
"One of the messages to humanity
of the Prince of Peace was 'Think not
that I am come to send peace on earth:
I came not to send peace but a sword,' "
said Archibald MoGoun, K.C., Mont-
real. "And yet it is only Christianity
that can bring peace to nations, The
citizens must force their governments
to respect the rights of other nations,
especially the weals, Foreign policy
should be magnanimous, but if mag-
nanimity is met with a hostile return,
a great Power must fall back on its
inherent force to maintain the just
rights of its people. Under Canning,
Aberdeen and Gladstone, honest ef-
l'or•ts were made in this direction, but
the most striking example was the
policy of James VI., the great Peace -
raker, who was in advance of his
time in insisting that even Spaniards
:Nero entitled to the observance of
International good faith. Lord Mans-
'ield extended the same rule to Pagan
nations. The doctrine of Anglo-Saxon
supremacy is utterly pernicious. It is
an insult tot only to other nations,
het even to members of other races
in the I;ritish and American nations.
f3ut fraud and corruption, equally with
war and violence; are subversive of
•rational peace, and where these are
•,sed sentiments are kept alive which
will justify resort to war if the injured
•ation thinks it can be successfully
,indcrtaken. Canada must assume no
subordinate role. She must have all
lie attributes of national greatness in
her delaings with all other countries,
and this is quite attainable as a full
partner in the control of the British
Empire. Towards tho United States
we must show, not subservience, but
friendliness and a spiritof justice and
fair play."
Inspector Hughes
"Throughout the ages it has been
the practice of mankind to celebrate
the anniversaries of great national
achievements, says Inspector Hughes,
'1'crinito, "and of victories which
.narked epochs it1 ilunian progress, or
which broke some of the bonds o2
tyranny and gave freedom to a nation
or to a race. As the minds of men
bave grown broader and more accus-
tomed to the vision of the true bro.
tberiiood of titan, the tendency grows
stronger"to celebrate the anniversaries
of deeds and discoveries which have
brought joy and hope and uplift and
progress and happiness to the whole
of humanity. It is clearly in harmony
with the ifutdern ileal to celebrate a
ren€ury of pelace between two great
nations and to note the marvellous
tlevelopniehc macre during this won-
derful peace epoch. Such a Mein .-
tion
tion will do much to awaken higher
Ideals and standal'ds In the rnhlds of
men and women throughout the world.
The union of two great Anglo-Saxon
nations in celebrating the ac'hiove-
nlents of peace 'should be a sugg .i1ftve
example to all flattens, and it should
reveal more
clearly to Great Britain
and the united States themselves the
highest moral ideal which humanity
can yet conceive, which is unity."

The surveyors found more bears there
than they did on the Stikine River,
and goon realized that these animals e
were disposed to be friendly, Appar-
ently their food supplies were. abun-
dant, and the bears, though pal'iug
frequent visits, never attenpteer to
molest the men. The smell of frying
bacon proved irresistible, and, the
bears came close enough for tidbits
to be thrown to them, Finally they
took to visiting the camps and forag•
ing for themselves at night, but the
men resented this, although the bears
never disturbed their privacy. Tlie
region is extremely rough, being a
vast series of high peaks covered with
eternal snow. It was impossible to
place boundary pillars there, and the
triangulation work and photographs
will form the record. In all about four
hundred square miles of the territory
was covered. This involved the climb-
ing of high peaks, Some of them hav-
ing an elevation of over eight thou-
sand feet. The Muddy River, a tribu-
tary of the Taku, rises at the foot,of
a glacier which is believed to be the
largest glacier in the world. The gla•
cier, not counting its arms and the
snows in the vicinity is easily tweniy'
miles long. The surveyors scaled and
crossed it at different points. Depr, s
sions, owing to tha y, existed, and
sweeping through the icy banks were
swept down the mountain side with the
speed of en avalan"h., In eight hours
the river rose twenty-two feet, and the
canna and supplies had to be hastily
removed. The boundary lice zig-sags a5
good deal. •
ALBERTA GAM L- LAWS
New Provisions Gavernino the Slaugh-
ter of Chickens
The Alberta Government have made
important amendments to the Game
Act. Perhaps the most important of
all are the provisions for the protec-
tion of prairie chickens, the slaughter
of which has been so common in the
past. In future hunters will be limited
to ten chickens per man per day. The
opening of the duck season will be
changed front August twenty-third to
September first.
In future a residential bird license
of $1.25 will be necessary before game
birds can be shot. Provision is made
for the protection of I-Iungarian part-
ridge.
Game wardens in the future are to
possess the power to make arrests.
Fines of not less than $50 or more
than $100 are provided for offenders
under tare Act. •
Non-residents, the guests of set-
tlers, must pay $5 for the privilege of
hunting as under the old Act. A pro-
vision is also made that residents,
accompanying non-residents without
licenses, are equally offenders under
the law.

Northern Quebec, fn the region be-
tween Lake St. John and James Bay,
While the members were largely en-
gaged in prospecting they found the
waters abounding in many varieties of
fish. In some of the lakes members
of the party took speckled red trout
up to five and six pounds in weight
Huge gray lake trout or touladi were.
captured as well as white fish, pike
and pickerel. Plenty of featheied
game was seen, The only big game
killed was a bear, tho animals being
numerous along the route followed by
the explorers. This route traversed
some of the bunting ground of the
Montagnais Indians, and numbers of
the latter were soured as guides for
the expedition.
FIVE ACRES, PLUS
What Boys Were Able to 150 on et
Small Farm
Near a Maritime Province town a
man, his wife, and two sons lived on
a five -acre lot. The head of the house
ran a carriage shop and paid little at-
tention to the land. The boys paid
Mee attention, and were on the road
to nothing in particular. The father
died, leaving the place involved. 'Then
the boys awakened, and began to till
the five. acres. Last year they ex-
pected to sell by the end of the season
over one thousand dollars' worth of
produce front the five acres. Among
other things they marketed one half
acre of tomatoes and ono acre of,
green beans. The little farm is no
longer involved.

duced cane sugar to the amount of
500,000,000 pounds, and it was not un-
til 1893-4 that output again equalled the
figure attained in the first year of the
conflict. These facts afford some,Iittle
indication of the wastefulness and

demonstration that these, mixed with
ground barley or corn meal, were abou
equal to wheat shorts. Alfalfa leaves
are also one of the very best feeds for
