REFERENDUM IN SWITZERLAND
The People One OF the Most Conserva-
tive of Earcea

The People One OF the Most Conserya-
tive OF Forces
The Swiss people, as consulted by tho
referendum, has again proved itself one
of the most conservative of forces, says
the London Daily News. 1t has re-
jected, by 100000 to 100000, the pro
posal to establish a federal national
bank. The voting has followed the law
of these national consultations. The
parts are extremely suspicious of the
whole; the voters rarely fail TO make
short work of all proposals TO increase
the federal power Their first impulse,
and usually the last, is to say "No." "
OF twenty-seven laws referred down TO
recent period fifteen were vetoed and
only twelve approved. This probably
accounts for Mr.. Balfour's known par
TALLY for the measure. The refercn-
DUN made its first appearance in the
federal constitution in 1874. II is in
the "facultative" form; that Is to say,
any federal law and all non-urgent fed
eral resolutions must be submitted to a
popular vote If petition to that effect
is signed by 10000 qualified voters OF
by eight cantons. The late Prof. Free
man had a great kindness for this
method of consulting the popular judg-
ment and he saw in it a development Of
the Landesgemeinde, which is the Swiss
equivalent of the New England town
meeting. II is naturally better suited
to small communities than to large
ones. The Swiss democracy, in one of
It's aspects, is but glorifed town meet
| ing. Mr.. Freedom was converted 20
the referendum by a belief that 1t
would give us vote on the real merits
of a question. and not merely on its
relation to the fortunes of a party OIL
of minister, and he thought that Mr.
Bryce had exaggerated the difficulties
of its application TO our own more com
plex political society. At one time II
was a favorite device of the conserya-
tive party for dishing home rule. Mr.
Goldwin Smith thinks II would check
the corruption in Canadian politics
The Swiss are so satisfied with il that
they have 1t in the cantonal as well as
in the federal form. Some of the east
ern states of the American union have
made the referendum plank" in
their state platforms, but the movement
has made no great headway in the
union at large. 1t is probably that

ing would soon deprive it of the sim.
plicity and directness of operation
which il has in Switzerland.

BACHELOR BUTTONS.

a girl is known by the company she
doesn't keep.
1t is curious that a thing which will
lose a man a woman's friendship won {
lose him her love.
Somehow the wittiest girl isn't the
one a man picks out to marry, says
the New York Press.
They are called intelligence bureaus
because man never has any when ne
gets through with one.
AS soon as man shows that he
knows much about women a girl be-
gins to think he has past.
When a girl makes up her mind that
she wants a man she begins TO pretend
to be interested in his work.

When a woman is said to be a good
housekeeper it is meant that she has
a place for everything except her hus-
band.
After a girl has been married six
months she's a good deal more likely
to talk about the weather than about
communion of souls.

While the fullest credit should be Civ

Regis and others recognized the toxic
origin of mental disease, while no less
than ten others, among them Herter and
Smith, have written extensively on the
subject. Perhaps most credit should
be given TO DR.. Allan McLane Hamil-
ton, whose paper on "Autotoxis as a
Cause of Insanity" was read before the
Medical Society of London in May last.

short time subsequently. In this pa

His horse, unfortunately, was dead
lame, and having no fancy for driving
the poor teams turned out by the local
livery stable, DR.. Dane resolved to walk
the four solitary miles, bounded by
pine forests and surrounded by desc
late hills that lay between the village
and Owl Glen.
He had not gone far, however, be-
fore he became dimly conscious,
through the snow, of little blackboard

The Age of Niagara.

DR.. Spencer, in a recent publication
on Niagara. says that, in his opinion
the Niagara river was formed $4,000
years ago. and that 1000 years later
the falls were in existence-for some
17,2OO years their height was about zoe
feet. He says the drainage of the lake;
first flowed through the Niagara gorge
$500 years ago, and that the water in
Lake Ontario first rose to it's present
level 1900 years ago. Prof. Lyall es-
t'mated the Niagara rivers age at 35,.

Halleck Dane had been physician
In charge of the Llndley hospital for
three months now. Lindley was a gay
little town, with military station
close by, half a dozen churches. a
town hall, an atheneum, and several
manufactures.
Dane avoided making the acquaint-
ance of Miss Durande. the belle and
beauty of the place. In fact. he had
not even seen her as yet.
Il came here to work. not to firt,"
he said, brusquely.
Miss Dorella Durande did not under
stand this in the least. she was a pret-
~. sweet natured young girl. who liked
all the world, and expected all the
world to like her. And at last she
reluctantly made up her mind that Dr.
Dane did not want to cultivate her ac-
quaintance.
Let him CO." said Dorella, pretend
ing not to care pins point. There
are plenty of pleasant people in Lind
ley without him.
And after that she was careful TO
time her visits to the hospital so that
she would not meet the physician in
charge.

Miss Freyling had chosen an unfor-
