War and Yams.

War is frightful thing under all
circumstances and some of the most
dreadful wars have been waged on the
most fiimsy and foolish pretexts, even
if they had pretext at all; but proba-
bly, no stranger reason for war or peace
was ever recorded than has been noted
by French governor of the South Pa
citic colony of New Caledonia. This
governor, who was also an admiral OF
the navy. assumed his authority while
the natives of New Caledonia were still
cannibals. There had been rumors of
an instruction and the admiral called
before him a native chief who was
faithful to the French cause, and ques-
toned him as to their truth. You
NAV be sure,n said the native, that
there will be ne war at present, be-
cause the vans are yet far from being
ripe" The yams, you sayp" Yes.
Our people never make war except
when the vans are ripe" why Is

Respinl claims that the reason the

Switzerland, did not call co Institutional
election within a month after receiving
the petition to do SO. as required by
the constitution, was that the genuine
ness of the signatures was doubted, and
the government claimed the right to

that to call the election.
The Liberals claimed that the month
was allowed for such investigation, and
that the government would, under its
construction, be able to postpone action
indefinitely, hence the revolt.

nre,rer., Grains.

The nutritiye value OF brewers grains
is rather more than that of green clover.
One hundred pounds OF green clover
contains about sis pounds OF albuminoids.
while 100 pounds OF brewers grains con-
tain less than s pounds. The value Of
ali foods Is measured largely by the
amount OF albuminoids. as they are the
source OF muscle and force. while the
carbohydrates supply heat TO the system
Could brewers grains he freed from
their water and sold at 8 cents for the
dry matter In a bushel. they would bt
cheap food for farmers living at a dis
tance from the brewery; but the cost OF
hauling nearly four pounds OF water
with each pound of dry matter make:
them an economical Iood to those only
who live comparatively near to the sourc'
of production. Brewers grains affect tht
