QUALIFICATION TROUBLES.

Congress, by the tariff of 1928. imposed
additional duties upon foreign goods,
which Were distasteful to the South and
provoked a good deal of Ill feeling, and
in 1882 a convention In South Carolina
declared the act to be null, and prepared
to resist at Charleston the collection of
the duties. The legislature of that state
even threat tened to secede and place John
c. Calhoun, then vice president Of the
United States, at the head of a Southern
confederacy' in case the government
should attempt to enforce It's laws. Cal.
houn resigned the vice presidency to ac-
cept The position of state governor, and
medals were struck, bearing the tnscrip-
ton: John c. Calhoun, First President
of the Southern Confederacy." But the
prompt appearance there of war vessels,
under Lieut.. Farragut, and troops, under
Gen. Scott, by direction of President
Jackson, proved the sincerity and the
power of the government. Henry Clay
exerted his peace-making influences in
another compromise bill, providing for a
gradual reduction Of duties, and the exc
element was allayed.

of flfty-six separate forms of govern

The Archduchy of Austria.

and WettenStein
The Kingdom of Morayia.

The Margravate of Istria.
The Kingdom of Dalmatia, including:
The Republic of Ragusa.
The Bocche di Cattaro and the Pri-

The Kingdom of Croatia and Slavonia
The Military Frontier.
The VoivodiTa and Banat.
The Kingdom of Hungary proper
The principality of Pennsylvania
The sanjaks of Bosnia, herzegovina
and Novi-BaZaar (Rascia).
Each of these states has at some time
maintained some form of statehood and
a corporate existence. Almost all are
derived from sources arising far back in
the middle ages, while many go beyond
feudal times, and are traceab.e to the
distinctions arising among elemental
tribes and races. Some of them are
large, having the dignity of states; some
of them are barely more than fortified
free towns. They are the states which,
out of a total OF ffty-six kingdoms and
duchies, counties, principalities. towns
and lordships, retained formal existence

HOW TO Make HOME HAPPIER
1t Is not merely from a desire to please
In society that good manners should be
studied, but from the wish to consider
the reelngs of other people. kindness
and unselhshness are among the virtues
TO De cultivated in all social intercourse,
ana nowhere can these qualities be bet
ter acquired than in home life. In the
home circle, however, too much is often
taken for granted, and the graces of
courtesy are sometimes entirely dispensed
with. Yet these small adornments are
useful IN molding manners and character.
Tact and thoughtfulness are some of the
home arts. Cheerfulness and readiness
to make home bright are other duties.
Courtesy to ones parents is of impor-
lance, taking time to cheer the tired
mother or perplexed father, remembering
to take a helpful interest in brothers and
sisters and not to be too absorbed in ones
own pursuits are valuable points to keep

Of canal tunnels proper the longest is
the Riqueval tunnel, on the st. Quentin
canal, in France 1t is twenty-one feet
wide, fourteen feet high and three and
half miles long. The Hoirran tunnel,
which brings water to the same canal, is
seven and a half miles long, but 1t can
hardly be called canal tunnel in the
ordinary sense, as it but five feet wide
and cannot be used for ordinary canal
boats. Another French canal tunnel on
the Marne-and-R Rhine canal is three miles
long. In England the longest canal tun-
mel is the Standege tunnel on the Hude-s-
field canal; it is three and one-tenth miles
in length. Next to it comes the Sapper-
ton tunnel, on the Thames ane Liverpool
canal; it is 1900 yards long.
In these long tunnels there IS generally
no towing path. Through some the boats
are taken by means of steam or electric
ity. On the Riqueval tunnel twenty or
thirty barges, each weighing 500 tons
are often taken through in line by
means of steam towboat working on a
chain, at the bottom of the canal In
others men in the boats haul upon chains
fastened to the wall. or propel the boats
by pushing with poles against the roof.
In few the old method of Logging is

The Creeks, who gave them the name
Seminoles, meaning wanderers, in the
treaty made with the United States In
1870, claimed them as part of their ma

claim and continued hostile toward the
Americans The Spanards had recovered
Florida in 1854 In 1872 the Seminoles de-

They were then divided into seven tribes
and were rich In cattle, horses and slaves.
This war was very destructive to them.
In 1917 troubles broke out between them
and The Georgians, and they surprised
several settlements and put to oeath

took the field against them and Gen.
Jackson invaded Florida with a large
force and destroyed several of their inn

the Indians subject to the United States.
BY the treaty of Fort Mou.trie, Sept. is,

WHEN WILL THE END COME?

WHEN WILL THE END COME?
Scientific men say the suns heat will
gradually subside and the earth gradual
ly cool off, the water disappear ard all
life perish.
Predictions concerning the end of the
earth on particular days and for various
reasons have been common and startled
people at different periods. AS far back
Rs the year 1000 many communities in
Europe were driven half distracted by
rumors that the day of judgment was
close at hand. This was founded on the
statement in Revelations that at the end
of 1OCO years from the beginning of the
Christian era Satan would be turned
loose and with il would come the end of
time Again in 1855 whole cities and
countries were paralyzed with fright for
the same reason.
In 1921 Jean Stof1er a German, plunged
Europe into terror by predicting a uni
versal deluge in 1924 owing TO the CON
Junction of several p.anets IN a watery
siSn,;z-the water signs are Cancer, Scor-

thousands fed to the mountains, and
others took refuge in boats. Awinol, a
