Famous Peace Treaties.

Ihe Portsmouth conference is one of
the shortest on record. There are pre-
cedents for the waving Of monetary in
demnity, the United States and Great
Britain having done so in the Spanish
war and the Boer war, respectively.
Among great peace treaties which have
consumed much time are:
The treaty Of Paris, January "A, 1854,
in which the independence Of the United
States was recognized and peace be-
tween Great Britain and her erstwhile
colonies restored. took IA months to
negotiate.
The treaty of Washington, May 8,
1871, admitting the Alabama claims to
arbitration, had been under discussion
since November 20. 1862.
The seven weeks war between Prus-
sia and Austria, which eliminated in
the battle of Sadowa, was terminated
by the treaty of Prague, August %,
1866, which was seven weeks negotiat-
ing.
The treaty of Zurich, which ended the
Franco-Prussian war of 1850, was four
months in being ratified.
The treaty of Frankfort, May 10,
1871, putting an end to the Franco
Prussian war, had been under discussion
since January Is, 1871.
The treaty of Constantinople, Decem-
ger 4, 1897. ending the war between
Greece and Turkey, took almost three
months to arrange.
The treaty of Washington, August II,
1898, ending the war with Spain, was
signed in less than three weeks, but it
left number of points to be decided by
a Peace Congress, which met later in
Paris.
The treaty of Vereehiging. ending
the Boer war, was in process of making
from March %, 1901, to May 80, the
same year.

To Keep Potatoes Fresh.

How to keep potatoes in good
condition from the time Of digging
in the Fall until the new crop is
ripe the next season is a subject
often discussed, and one of the
utmost Importance, writes j. w.
Ingram, OF Bradford Pa, in the
Prairie Farmer. They must be
kept without freezing, which can
be done either in a pit or in the
cellar. The cellar must not be
too warm or the potatoes will
sprout before Spring.
If kept in a pit they must be
removed as soon as the frost is
out of the ground or they will
sprout there. When removed
from the pit or from the cellar
they must not be piled up in a
big pile or they will sprout in q
short time. The writer has hao
the best success in keeping pota.
toes in good condition for plant.

PEACE.
The conference Breaks up,
And Russia Wins Out
In the End.
HONORS FOH WiTTE AND ROSEN

1t has remained for Russia to
discover that Peace has her VIC
tories far more renowned than
those won in war. The victors
on the plains Of Manchuria and
on the Sea OF Japan, have been
conquered on the diplomatic field
Of Portsmouth. Witte and ROs-
en- have won for Russia what her
armies and fleets were powerless
to gain. Komura and Takahira
have given away what would ne
yer have been surrendered had
the sword been the final arbiter.
Within three weeks, cOnstitut-
ing the life Of the conference,
Japan has resigned her claim to
a billion of dollars, to the undis-
puted possession of the rich and
strategically important island of
Sakahalin, to the limitation of
Russia's Naval power in the Far
East and to the surrender of the
interned Russian ships of war.
In return, Russia has given moth
in save promise to purchase one
half of Sakhalin at a price deem
ed fair by neutral judges.
Viewed in the light of what
was asked and what was given
as the conditions of peace, the
benefits Of the conference itself
as its diplomatic honors, rest
with Russia.
But it should not be forgot that
back of the conference was a
war. Init Witte and Rosen failed
to figure and the names of 10
mura Takharia were foreign to
the subject in ha n d. On the
Russian side were Kuropatkin,
Makaroff, Rojesvensky and Ne
bogatoff ; on the japanese, Oya-
ma, Togo, Kuroki and Nogi. AS
a result of these antecedents, the
close of the conference, in which
Japan has surrendered more than
any other victorious nation in
modern history, finds Japan in
control of Korea, in the most fa-
vored position of any nation in
regard to Manchuria, in undis-
turbed possession Of Port Arthur
and it's approaches, the receiver
of the Southern branch of the
Chinese railroad and the owner
of the Southern half of Sakhalin,
with the sum of several hundred
millions owed her for the care of
Russian prisoners and the recent
ly acquired railroad interests.
incidentally she has been trans
formed from an interesting and
picturesque Flower Kingdom into

tion on the map, bar one. Also,
she has concluded a victory in
which her moderation as a victor
has we'll become her prowess as
a foe, and now she stands, after
supreme endeavor, in knowledge,
power and possibilities, a f u l.

was supposed to hold by Russia's

danger of freezing in the open
air is over they are taken out and

building darkened. They are
carefully shoveled over about
once a week with a wooden scoop

shoveling them over destroys the

KINDS OF LIFE INSURANCE.
Statement of Actual Difference Be- tween the Various Forms
 of Policies.

The fundamental principles of insur- sAce policies are most simple. is the comforting assurance contained in Henry Wysham I.anier's article on How to Buy Life Insurance" in the Worlds Work. There are. to begin with. two great divisions. participating and 'rOn-par'iripating' policies: that is. those in which the insured person shares in the profits" of the company. and those that furnish protection against death for given term. and nothing else A man of . may by pay ing SO Co s15 year know that. if he dies within ten years. his estate will re ceive g. 010: but if he is still alive at the end of that time. he has nothing to show for his money. This whole class of policies can practically be disregarded. since. in this country al least. hardly anybody wants term insurance as it is called. Of the participating policies. the main kinds are. the endowment. which pays to the insured himself a cer- tain annual sum at the end of term of years: the full term by which pay nents are made by him. uutn death. and the limited paynent- which calls for higher premium through 10.
