iumbia. Washington opinion is to the
effect that Canada is given only Tearse
island, a small and entirely unimpor-
tant chunk OF soil in Portland ca1al.
BE this as it may, however, the decision
is so radically in favor Of the United
States that we have every reason to feel
first rate over it.
The United States has held through
out the hearing strictly TO the points
and boundaries conceded to Russia by
England under the treaty Of 1925, Can
ada, on the other hand, has stood out
for first one Interpretation and then an
other of that treaty. These oireum-
stances, in themselves, would natural
" give weight to the American argu-
ments before the boundary commission
and they would just as naturally, other
things being equal, initiate against
Canada. A writer in the New York
Tribune put the American case very
clearly some months ago when he said.
. 1.-THE British first asked to have the
! boundary line drawn straight down the
l4lst meridian 60 the sea at Mt. So ELIAS
I thus deDriving Russia of the entire pam
handle OF Alaska and causing her to re-
/ linquish her colonial capital Sitka itself.
rms was peremptorlly rejected by Russia,
without serious consideration. The Brit
ism next proposed Christian sound Chat
ham strait and Lynn canal as the boun-
dairy. leaving Baranoff island to Russia.
I but giving to the British juneau. Admir-
atty island and everything 10 the south
ana east thereof. This the Russians also
rejected. Then Clarence strait AMI the
Stckeen river were proposed, leaving
Prince Of Wales island to Russia, but
giving TO Great Britain the Islands Of
Wrangeu and ReVilla-GigedO. This, also
the Russians rejected.
Finally, the British commissioners con-
coded TO Russia tho whole strip down 20
81 deg. 40 min, but sought as a last re-
sort TO have the coast line drawn strai ght
across such arms OF the sea as Glacier
bay and Lynn canal, from headidud to
headland, so as to give the British access
TO tidewater. This, too. the ineNorablc
Russians refused 10 grant, and IN the end
they won on this point. as on AL others.
From first to last the constant aud in
flexible Russian contention was FOR Rus
sian possession of an uubrOBen strip OF
coast from Mount St. ELIAS to Portland
canal sand in the treaty Of 1925 that con-
/ tention was explicitly upheld and con-
/ firmed"
In 1867 the Russian title was trans
feITed to the United States. From that
/ year until today there has been no
change in the American contention. We
may now reasonably hope that the
question has been settled forever.

WOULD LIVE A CENTURY.
You Have a Better Chance if Wo.
man Than a Man.

You Have a Better Chance if a Wo-
man Than a Man.
Every woman. so the story goes, car
ries with her signs which to the ex-
perienced tell whether she viii live long,
says the New York Sun. Here are some
of the supposed sigLs Of longevity:
The eyes must be round and wide
rather than long and narrow, and if
they are brown or hazel life Will be
longer than if they were black or vio-
let.
The neck must be fun and pillar
like, rather than slender.
The brow must be ample and slope
back slightly from an absolute perpen-
dicular. The head must be wide behind
and over the ears.
The mouth must be full and well set
and the chin square and firm.
The nose must be wide and full
through its whole length, and have
open, easily dilating nostrils. This in
dicates a good heart and good lungs.
If the Orifice OF the ear is low, de-
noting a deeply seated brain, there is a
better chance of long life.
The woman who appears taller in
proportion when sittisE down than
when standing has a good chance to
live long. If the body is long in pro-
portion to the limbs, the neart, lungs
and digestive organs are large.
The pulse should beat with full and
normal stroke, Limbs and joints should
be large and well formed. the flesh
neither too hard nor too soft
Those who resemble their mothers
may. expect 10 hielongest. and the hrst
born is longer lived than other children.
For example, a sister born ten years
before another sister is supposed to
have six years greater duration of life.
1t is well known that women live
longer than men, but so far there is no
satisfactory explanation of why this is
so. Out of a million people 2z5 women
and only eighty-twO men reach the age
of 100 years. Maybe it is because a
woman gets more sleep than a man. for
the longer a person sleeps the longer
viii life last. Nearly all long lived peO-
pc have been great sleepers. When NJ
de Lesseps was on the ocean he would
sleep twenty hours at a stretch Glad
stone averaged twelve hours sleep a
day. A man or woman who would learn
to sleep eighteen hours a day might
live 200 years.
One Of the secrets Of longevity, there
fore, is TO take plenty Of sleep. Other
rules which the seeker after length Of
days should observe are these:
Sleep on the right side.
Keep the bedroom window open all
night
Don't take a cold bath in the morn
ing, but bath the temperature Of the
body.
Don't allow any pets in the living
room. They may carry disease germs.
Take daily exercise in the open air,
and live in the country; if not all the
year, at least for five or. six months.
Occasionally change your occupat ton.
Take frequent and short holidays.
Watch the three Ds-drinking water,
dampness and drains.
Limit your ambitions.
Keep your temper.
Worry less, work more; ride less.
walk more; drink less, breathe more;
eat less, chew more; preach less, prac-
/ tice more.

THE COAT AND The MAN.

IT IS EVIDENT from a resolution
1 passed recently by the Greenbrier.
West Virginia. presbytery, that its
members believe the ability of a preach
err to serve God is measured by the
length Of his coat We have always
been led to believe that it is only man
who is impressed by outward appear
ance and that God, disregarding clothes
entirely looks upon the heart. APP
parently the Greenbrier brethren enter
tain a different notion. At a recent
meeting they passed this resolution:
Resolved, That it is the solemn and
painful conviction Of this Greenbrier
presbytery that some of the ministerial
brethren are departing from the time
honored custom of the fathers by wear
/ ing bObtailed coats, and the presbytery
1 would hereby warn the brethren
/ against conformity TO this costume Of
the dudes.
Resolved, That the OFFENDING breth-
rem be warned of what may happen to
them"
We wish the last clause had been
more explicit. What is the dread thing
that may happen to brethren who wear
'bobtailed" coats? VIII they be cut Off
from the church? Is the cut of a coat
I prescribed by theological doctrines and
is it heresy to wear anything except
longtaled coats? Is everybody who
wears a "bobtailed" coat a dude? Do
not the brethren know that some Of
our most celebrated dudes wear coats
with tails so long that they almost
touch the ground? Finally. does the
coat or the saving grace make the
! preacher?
It is hard to treat the West Virgin
ians with the seriousness they. seem to
expect. We are willing to go as far as
anybody who urges that ministers Of
/ the gospel should be sedate. dignihed.
self-respecting, clean men, but we can
/ not subscribe to the theory that the
clothes make the minister. We have
heard some mighty poor sermons from
men who wore very long coats Of cler-
ical cut, and some very good sermons
from men who did not dress at all like
preachers. 1t does not follow that a
( preacher-lfke preacher always delivers
poor sermons. nor is the reverse Of the
proposition true. we want It under
stood.
1t IS fair, though, to lay down the
general rule that, within due bounds.
the ability Of a preacher to do good
work has no relation whatever to the
cut Of his clothes. The brethren are
entitled TO a rational amount Of leeway
and they may be depended upon to de-
eide wisely enough, each for himself.

A GARD
FROM THE MAN In MARS

Hello therel What's all this school fuss
about down there in Eureka Mr.. School
Trustees! 1t seems to me you are trying to
create a tempest in q teapot. Had you not
better act like men instead of boys and pull
yourselves out of the mess that you are getting
into! BE true to yourselves and as sure as
night follows day you will wrong no man."
You know very well that you have done all
the publishing of this affair and did not tell
all. You did not tell that McKim had prev
iously told Trustees Laird and Cronant that
he would not permit his boy to be whipped at
school, but that be should be punished other.
wise If necessary or sent home. You know
he has a right to take his boy out Of school If
be 30 desired.
Had Miss Wittenberg told Principal Butler
that McKim's wishes were that his boy be not
whipped, miss Wittenberg having previously
been instructed to that effect) ss a lady should
have done, he would never have had occasion
to go to her house and say to her that were
she not a lady he would wipe the streets with
her. or she would have to return the compli.
ment. That he would never have said to her
that he considered the whipping Of children
brutal. and that a person who whips q child
is-a-brute.
You know that Trustee McElroy was very
abusive at your meeting and sounded the key.
note Of the whole affair when he openly
boasted that he had an old score to settle with
him 1.-THE Diamond school affair of over four
years a%go)-thus pursuing the commandments
Of the Lord and visiting the iniquities of the
father on the son. You know that Principal
Butler told you that the boy did his work
well In school and was q very obedient child.
And now Principal Butler, with man.
hood, in conversation with several people,
says that had he known the true state Of af-
fairs, and McKim's idea regarding the whip
ping Of children, he would have prescribed
some other punishment, as the oHense was
trivial.
You know that although "He has spared
his rod. he does not hate his child" nor has he
spoiled him, his department card at school
being a credit to the child. You know that
it is not that he thinks his boy better than
others that he will not allow him to be
whipped.
Come out and be men and own up that
there is a woodchuck in the woodpile that
prompted this trouble, and that there are
several more woodchucks under the pile that
might be uncovered. Yours sincerely.
