product Of the country To be sure, tea
and coffee, spices and sugar they must
import, but their grains and vegetables,
meat and fruits are all home grown.
Even the furnishings of their buildings
are wholly Swiss. They do not do as
the Americans and English do-tap the
uttermost parts of the world for various
things that finally turn from Injuries TO
necessities. And, furthermore, they in

ing you conform to their ways.
While there is great scholastic abili-
ty in the nation, among the poorer class
es there is not that bright, intellectual
quality that we find among the poor
and squalid IN America.
I saw a man and woman blowing re-
Gently. The pillow was not unlike a har-
row. The woman drew it with a strap
about her shoulders, while the man
guided it and pushed and hatcheled it
up and down. Later I saw the same
man spading an adjacent piece of
ground. Women are truly helpmeets to
men in this country. In fact, they seem
to do the bulk of the work inside and
outside, and while the men are in the
army of course they do it all. I cannot
understand how these women who work
IN the Held and whose hands are hard
and coarse can make all tine lovely Iaces
they do, and yet one sees them doing it
the very same wonderland they
weave their own fax and hemp a good
deal. In fact, in these higher Alps they
seem to be able from the products of the
soil, either in animal, vegetable or min
eraI form. to make all the belongings
of their menage and supply all physical
demands, and I doubt if there is any
other nation at thfs time, at the very
dawn Of the twentieth century, who are
so wholly self reliant and able to de-
pend entirely on themselves as these
very Swiss. GEORGE E. Cook

To study BIRD FIirht.

LED6ClAl
Boston, Nov. ia very interesting
photographic competition, which was to
have closed Oct. 1 of this year. has been
reopened for another II months. A year
ago the Boston Camera club represent
ing a gentleman of high standing in
matters pertaining to aerial navigation,
sent out circulars Offering the following
prizes for instantaneous photographs Of
large soaring birds:
A prize Of 500 for the best instanta-
neous photograph of a large bird in the
act Of soaring, an additional prize of
$50 for the greatest number of instanta-
neous photographs offered by one pho
tOgrapher of large birds in the act of
soaring.
By soaring was meant the attitude of
the bird in the air when no wing mo
ton is apparent.
The purpose for which the photo
graphs were desired-the study of wing
angles and a possible movement map
probable to the eye of the observer
necessitated that the figure of the bird
should be at least half an inch long on
the print If the figure were small. but
clearly defined in detail, enlargements
were to be submitted instead Of contact
prints, to be judged of equal merit with
direct prints.
It was provided expressly that if 100
different photographs had not been sub
mitted by Oct. l the limit of time would
be extended.
When Oct / arrived, only three com
petitors had entered for the prizes It
was decided, therefore, to postpone the
competition for another year. A great
deal Of interest has been aroused among
amateurs, and it is believed that they
viii make particular efforts next sum
mer to obtain photographs to enter for
the prizes. EDWARD FISHER

Nova Scotia Trains Which start at Twenty

Especial Correspondence
HALIFAX, Nov. 16.-They are talking
about arranging the hours on the deci-
NAL plan in Paris-of barring out 1
and 2 o'clock and making each hour
one-ffth longer than it now is Here in
Nova Scotia they have something quite
as interesting to the traveller from the
States "a "a hour day, which knows
no "a. N. - or "p. m, - a day in which
the numbered hours run right up to a
and in which "a clock is midnight.
This designation of the hours you
will find here and there in the United
States. but never seriously adopted,
think. A shopkeeper, to attract atten-
ton. may put clock of "A divisions in
his window, but it is regarded simply
as a freak Here the p hour time table
is the only one used by the railroads,
and as the clocks keep on registering
and reregistering to u O'Clock every
traintime after noon must be coupled
with a mental calculation. 1t is anus
ing at first and then a little awkward.
Eighteen o'clock is p. m, and 20
o'clock is p. N. 1t seems simple
enough at first sight. It's novelty makes
it interesting, but it grows annoying
after a time, especially if you are study
ing a long time card, making a selec-
ton from many trains.
And when you have picked out your
train and determined that it goes at
O'Clock p. IN. you find that it doesn t 20
at that hour at all Why? Because the
trains are all run on Boston time,
which is an hour earlier than Halifax
time. So your o'clock train viii go at
O'Clock local time And when you
board the Boston steamer at the Plant
line wharf, with q sharp edge on your
appetite, you Will find that the o clock
breakfast is served on Boston time, so
that it is 8 O'Clock Halifax time before
the welcome triangle calls you to the
dining room. It is a good breakfast
when you get it. but that doesn't atone
to you at the moment for the hour s de-
lay.
American railroads-we Of the Unit
ed States mean United States railroads,
of course, when we say that-have a
change of time for each time division.
Our trains start from New York on east i
ern time and arrive in Chicago on CEN
trail time. and these are the local times
in both places The railroads of these
provinces have a uniform time from one
end of the line to the other.

MR.. PEFFER ISN'T FUNNY.
IFrom the Boston HeraId.l

From the Boston Herald
There is opposition to choosing PETER
again to the senate from Kansas. The
nation could we'll risk a novelty in that
body after six years of his serious dull
ness, and. perhaps. Kansas has the
same feeling. PETER is. no doubt, hon
est. and also earnest in his way, but
he lacks Hveliness badly. If he would
give way to occasional excitement, as
does Stewart of Nevada. there would
be some mitigation of his boredom.
The senate is to lose Call of Florida,
and it would improve the gayety of
that body if PETER should go with him.
PETER was originally a Republican,
has held to high tariff views imbibed
in that party. and has been rather in
clined to act on the Republican side of
the chamber when his hobbies were not
in issue. This is said to have hurt
him with the new men who have come
into power in Kansas. There are lots
of them. also. who want his seat for
themselves. Of course. But his more
important offense is lack of humor No
man has a right to be so gravely
sehoolmasterish in public life as is he
