.sation for the annexation of Bosnia
and Herzegovina cleared the air for a
time, but already difficulties have
arisen concerning the actual amount
to be paid in cash, the terms of pay
ment and the refusal of. Turkey to
stop the boycott of Austrian trade un-
til the final signatures to the financial
settlement have been written down.
That is only part of the trouble any
way Servia and Montenegro are
more defiant than ever. The recent
speech of the Servian minister for
foreign affairs in his own parliament
was a fiat defiance of Austrian de-
mands-
M. Milovanovitch. the Servian for
-eign minister, practically said Hands
OIL" to Austria. He bluntly declared
that the balance of power and the lib
critics of the Balkan peoples could be
safeguarded only by Austria ceasing
to be a Balkan power Further, he
formulated a demand for the auton-
.omy of Bosnia and Herzegovina under
European control and for the recogni-
~tion of the Save and the Danube rivers
as the frontier between the dual mon
archy and the Balkans.

might well tolerate from a Servian
tongue what she could not possibly
tolerate from Russia, France or Ger
many, for instance little more con-
sideration for the exingencies of the
Servian minister's surroundings might
have led the government of Vienna to
regard the Servian minister's speech
as intended less for foreign than for
home consumption. But Austria is not
inclined to be lenient. AS a matter of
fact, consideration for the weaker ma
ton in general never has been a char
acteristic of the policy of Vienna. The
whole trend of events during the past
few weeks points to this fact-that
the ties which maintain certain of the
European powers in a state of peace
are of the very slenderest nature and
that the slightest indiscretion of word
or deed may precipitate a struggle the
end of which no living man can for
see.
Is Contest of Races.
The fundamental, basic fact back of
all the negotiations between the vari-
GUS powers, principally Austria and
Turkey, Russia and the Balkan prov
inces proper, is the collision of two
opposing forces, whose natural trend,
respectively, is east and west, north
and south. Kinglake in his mastery
analysis of the Crimean war has noted
the Inevitable tendency of the north
ern peoples to the south and the
warm water. At the present moment
two great races are obeying that in
stinct-the Teuton and the Slav.
From west to east, or southeast, the
Teuton, represented by Austria, with
the driving power of Germany behind
her, is heading for Salonika. From
north to south, or southwest, the Slav
is equally bent upon linking up the
dismembered fragments of his race
and making his way down to the
Adriatic. And the geographical and
political point at which the lines of
these movements intersect lies in the
two provinces which form the present
bone of contention.

uon of Cretan independence gave an
noyance to Turkey at a very critical
moment King George is one of the
most interesting figures of Southern
Europe His government has been
wise and sober, and he and Queen
Olga are immensely popular
King Peter of Servia has been called
''the boycotted monarch" because,
with the exception of Emperor Francis
Joseph, all the rulers of Europe have
refused to visit him or to accept visits
from him. This because King Peter
has refused to associate himself from
the assassin of King Alexander and
Queen Draga. The assassins, indeed,
in spite of the protests of foreign pow
ers, are among those who still hold
high office in the kingdom, fact that
lends some color to the rumor that
the present king was privy to the hor-
rible crime of the palace. Neverthe-
less, Servia has had the support of
the western powers in her claims for
compensation from Austria The
Crown Prince George is a wild, harum-
scarum youth, whose chief faculty is
that of getting into scrapes which dis
tress the Servian authorities.

YOUTHFUL MIND AT WORK.
Deduction Mother Must Have Found
Somewhat Hard to Combat

Miss Marjorie, aged five years, is
one of those bright children who make
the lives of their parents and teach
ers burden. Quite recently she paid
her first visit to kindergarten. Upon
her return home she grew enthusi-
astfc, begging her mother to allow
her to attend the school regularly.
TT was so very NIGEL" she declared
sweetly. "And the teacher, Miss Lee,
is SO very nice, too! She told me il
[ was a good little girl 1 would grow
up into pretty lady, but if 1 was
naughty I would grow up an ugly
mel"
THAT is quite true, DEAR" her moth

Silently Miss Marjorie regarded the
ire of pine logs. Presently she burst
out: "Then what a naughty, naughty
little girl Miss Lee must have been"

hopes to force her way southwark
Through that same territory, inhab-
tied by the men of his own race and
tongue, and largely of his own re-
ligion, the Slav intends to find his way
to the sea, and thereby to unite those
kindred racial elements which are ami
mated by the most intense hatred and
jealousy of Teutonic ambitions
1t would seem as if, in the presence
of these two tremendous opposing
forces, the petty details of interna-
tional politics from day to day have
only that Importance which belongs
to them in their relation to those
forces. Yet it is in the petty details
of political strife that the kindling
wood is found.
Disagree as to Motives.
There seems to be no doubt that the
personal influence of the Emperor
Francis Joseph had a great deal to do
with the avoidance of rupture a few
months ago. The emperor, sometimes
called the 'father-in-law of Europe -
is the oldest of European sovereigns.
He is rs years old, and he has reigned
for 81 years And it is fairly certain
that the emperor's desire for peace
and his anxiety to see a quiet sunset
of a reign that had such a cyclonic
sunrise in 1S4S has had much to do

HONEY MADE IN LIVE STOCK
IN CENTRAL CANADA.

w. J. Henderson, visiting Seattle,
writes the Canadian Government
Agent at Spokane, Wash, and says:
ct have neighbors in Central Canada
raising wheat, barley and oats for the
past 20 years, and are now getting
from the same land 20 to 80 bushels Of
wheat per acre, 40 to 60 bushels Of
oats.
1T was the first week OF May when
got my tent pitched, but the farmers
all around had finished putting in
their crops. SO I only got fifteen acres
broke and seeded. They advised me
as it was late not to put in much
wheat, so put in five acres of wheat
and ten acres oats, one-ha1f acre pota-
toes and vegetables. All kinds of veg
etables grow well up there, sweet corn,
tomatoes, onions, carrots, peas, beans,
cabbage. My wheat yielded about 20
bushels per acre, for which i got rs
cents, others got 80 cents; oats
threshed 35 bushels per acre, for which
1 got 35 cents per bushel. You see I
was three weeks late in getting them
in, still / was satisfied.
From my observation, there is more
money made in stock, such as cattle,
horses and sheep, as prices are high
them, as horses live the year around
out on the grass. In fact, farmers turn
their work horses out for the winter,
and they come in fresh and fat in the
spring. Cattle live out seven OF eight
months. They NOW the. prairie grass
and stack it for winter and give oat
straw. My neighbors sold steers at
$40 each, and any kind of a horse
that can pillow, from $4,000 up. raised
60 chickens and 5 pigs, as pork, chick
ems, butter and eggs pay we'll and al

with Austria's recent concession to
Turkey.
There are critics who trace the orr
gin of the present European trouble
mainly to the aspirations of Francis
Joseph's heir, the Archduke Franz
Ferdinand, whose aim is believed to
be partly Federalist-the change of
the dual monarchy into a federal sys-
tenn, of which a Slav state will form
an important constituent-partly Cler-
zeal at home and abroad. This would
mean pushing Austrian rule forward
into the Balkans in the spirit and
wit the aim of a twentieth century
Catholic crusade. Other critics con-
clude that while the act of Bulgaria

OF Berlin when she declared her indie

Remarkable Thermometer.

Some curious thermometers were
made. Otto de Guericke, burgomaster
of Magdeburg, made one which was 20
feet long and gorgeous with blue paint
and gilt stars 1t consisted of large
globe fastened to tube, both of cop
per. The tube was bent upon itself
to form a very narrow q, in which was
placed the requisite amount of alcohol
One arm of the U was shorter than
the other and open at the top On the
liquid was a float, to which was at
tached a cord passing over pulley.
At the other end of this cord was hung
a gilt angel, its finger pointing to a
scale on which the degrees were

GOOD CHANGE
Coffee to Postum.

The large army of persons who have
found relief from many chronic all
ments by changing from coffee to
Postum as daily beverage, is grow
ing each day.
1t is only a simple question OF trying
it for oneself in order to know the joy
of returning health as realized by an
Ills young lady. She writes:
81 had been a coffee drinker nearly
all my life and it affected my stomach
caused insomnia and ] was seldom
without a headache. 1 had heard about
Postum and how beneficial 1t was, so
concluded to quit coffee and try it
az was delighted with the change.
I can now sleep well and seldom ever
have headache. My stomach has gotten
strong and can eat without suffering
afterwards. I think my whole system
greatly benefited by Postum
my brother also suffered from stom-
ach trouble while he drank coffee. but
now, since using Postum he feels so
much better he would not go back to
coffee for anything

- ONDON, Eng.-If Europe is
to be saved from a general
international CONFUSION in
the coming spring, her
chief statesmen will de-
serve the praise of history
and the thanks of the whole world. 1t is
in the spring that things happen in the
Balkan region-that present center of
the continent wherein may be struck
the vital spark of European fame. The
Balkans are extremely mountainous,
and the country, difficult of commune
cation in most parts at any time, is
impossible in the winter, when snow
and drift and glacier block the rugged
way, writes A. Francis Walker in the
New York Press
1t is a country of unrest, of strife
and turmoil. Year after year the
world has been told each winter
There will be war in the Balkans in
the spring" The world has been
fooled SO many times by this rumor
that it has become skeptical, but the
time for skepticism is past. If ever
the rumor is going to find develop
ment in actual fact, it surely will find
it in the spring of 1909. According
to Sir Edward Grey, the British min
lister for foreign affairs, the present
Balkan troubles have caused "the
greatest diplomatic complications of
modern history" Never were so many
international interests involved, nor
dill SO many territorial complications
ever arise at one juncture. The Serb
states seem bent upon fight; Bulgaria,
in her ambitions toward Macedonia,
no longer feels her interests bound up
with Austria; Russia cannot afford to
disregard Slav feeling, however much
she may cry peace; and whichever
way the pendulum swings, it an out
break should occur, Austria and Tur-
key must find themselves involved.

In Despair; Cured by cuticura.

words cannot describe the terrible
eczema 1 suffered with. 1t broke out
on my head and kept spreading until
it covered my whole body. 1
was almost a solid mass of sores from
head to foot. I looked more like
piece of raw beef than a human be-
ing. The pain and agony endured
seemed more than I could bear. Blood
and pus oozed from the great sore on
my scalp, from under my finger nails,
and nearly all over my body. My
ears were so crusted and swollen
was afraid they would break off.
Every hair in my head fell out. I
could not sit down, for my clothes
would stick to the raw and bleeding
flesh, making me cry out from the
pain. My family doctor did all he
could, but I got worse and worse. My
condition was awful. / did not think
I could live, and wanted death to
come and end my frightful sufferings.
I'm this condition my mother-in-law
begged me to try the Cuticura Rem
edies. I said / would, but had no hope
of recovery. But oh, what blessed re-
lief experienced after applying Cuti-
cura Ointment. 1t cooled the bleeding
and itching flesh and brought me the
first real sleep had had in weeks. 1t
was as grateful as ice to a burning
tongue. 1 would battle with warm
water and Cuticura Soap, then apply
the Ointment freely. 1 also took Cuti-
cura Resolvent for the blood. In a
short time the sores stopped running,
the flesh began to heal, and I knew /
was to get well again. Then the hair
on my head began to grow, and in a
short time 1 was completely cured.
1 wish 1 could tell everybody who has
eczema to use Cuticura. Mrs. VIM.
