The action of the Argentine govern
ment follows the refusal Of Bolivia to
accept the decision OF Argentine in the
matter of the boundary dispute be-
tween Bolivia and Peru. The Bolivian
minister yesterday advised the Argen-
tine government that Bolivia had de-
cided to submit to parliament for con-
sideration the arbital award rendered
by President Alcorta, which in itself
would be considered sufficient reason
for breaking off relations.
In addition, however, the Argentine
republic has taken offense at the &C
ton of the president of Bolivia, who,
it is asserted has sent circulars to
the projects throughout the country,
casting reflections on the Argentine
government.

AL MATTER oF pnopINouIrY.
II Is tho Event Near at Hand That
Counts Most in Everything.

The death OF hundreds OF people In
distant part Of the country from
where we live hardly arouses more
than passing interest, and the more Or
less sudden taking away OF thousands
Of lives in some far remote land
eyokes no more than a word Of SYM
pathy from those long distance
away But the Eingle death near at
hand. the funeral across the street,
makes the strongest possible mark on
the mind.
Propinquity, In that as in everything
else, is what counts. The death in the
family cuts into the heart for years.
II accompanied by details that make 1t
a horror, the shock often remains with
the survivors to the end Of their own
lives. II the lost relative has met a
violent death. by accident or other
wise, the anguish Of those left behind
is all the more poignant and endur-
ing. Worst of all, and most lasting in
its effect upon the survivors, is the
death where unexpected financial dis
tress or ruin follows the loss Of the
family head II is a wretched home

is taken away, leaving only debts.

Pecuniary Value Which the French
Poet Put Upon His Work.

The Paris Gaulois tells a good story
OF Lamartine's estimate of the pc
cuniary value OF his poetry.
1t was in 184S, when he was at the
acme of his glory and cabinet min
lister. He had Just contributed La
Marseillaise de la Paix" to the Revue
des Deux Mondes, and Buloz, the
editor, called on him at the ministry
Il believe owe you ESQ. Here is the
money" said Lamartine, producing
bundle OF banknotes.
Pray deduct the amount Of the
Reyue's Indebtedness to you for your
poem," said the editor
Il meant to make you present OF
IT," rejoined the poet
Not at all; / insist upon paying
you"
How much?"
Your own price. whatever it may
be-"
"Ah, WE'LL If you will have it so I
must obllge you" said Lamartine; and
with magnificent gesture he swept
up the whole bundle of notes repre-
senting the ESQ and restored them.
with solemn dignity, to his pocket.

Roxal Chickens of Japan.

The most beautiful and extraor-
dinary chickens in the world are those
bred by the royal family of Japan, the
privilege of raising them not being
accorded to any of the Mikado's sub
jects." said Mr.. L. ]. De Courcey OF
Yokohama. These chickens are cele-
brated for the wonderful growth Of
their tail feathers. full grown roos-
ter's tail often reaching length Of
90 feet The tail is Of lovely deep
blue shade, while the body is buff, and
about the neck is white ring. A pair
Of these chickens has been known to
sell to a wealthy Englishman for
$1,000 on condition that he would take
them out OF the country

will entirely disappear, as | heard be-
fore leaving Japan that 1t was the in

Gave Names to Diseases.

The naming OF a disease after the
doctor who described and prescribed
for 1t. as was done with Bright's dis
ease. is no new thing. The chapel
near Ulm. which was dedicated to St.
vitus, was the object of an annual pill
grimage of people afflicted with the
nervous affection which from this fact
acquired the name of st. Vitus' dance.
Except for this accident the name OF
Vitus would probably have passed into
oblivion, for We know little Of him be-
yond the fact that he was a Sicilian
who suffered martyrdom under Dio-
eletian.

Hav on Church Floor.

A curious custom was observed at
Old Neston church on Sunday The
church is dedicated to st. Swithin.
and on festival day the church is
strewn with hay Many years ago
some donor left field to provide
money for bread which is distributed
four times a year The tenant of the
field has to supply the hay to strew
the church. The custom is supposed
to have originated from the fact that
on festival Sunday the parishioners
wear new boots, and the idea of the
donor was to have the hay laid down
to stop the squeaking incidental to new
footwear On Sunday the hay was
duly laid down in the church--London

Earthquake Carpenters.

The term earthquake carpenter" at
first glance might give the impression
OF person capable Of doing job
In fast time, regularly shaking the
work together. To some persons it
might convey the idea Of man whose
work was so poor that 1t was likely
to drop to pieces at any moment.
Actually 1t is Jamaican term, and
was used a great deal in Kingston
after the disaster there 1t really
means man whose work is in wreck
ing. a man who takes apart the fallen
houses and sorts out the timbers.

THEN AND NOW.

Few realize how great tribute we
pay to the glories Of the past The
Lincoln centenary day brings back to
memory the Civil war and the fact we
were taught to think it was the great
struggle of all history, and that the
effects would be never totally eradi-
Gated from this land.
Sad indeed were the results Of that
conflict and wonderful the heroism
Of Americanism displayed by the blue
and the gray in that struggle which
was fought from Pennsylvania to the
Rio Garnde, and still at the time the
South and North first met at Manas
sas the population OF the eleven Sc
ceding states was little more than
the present population Of the city Of
New York
Two states Of the seeding eleven
had million in population. Virginia
and Georgia
Tennessee, Mississippi and Georgia
were the three richest states Of the
Union in proportion to their popula-
ton, today they are among the poor
-est.

nois could now bring almost as many
men under arms as could be mustered

NAL census of 1910. in all likelihood,

the United States when the war was

The South was the weaker in point
OF numbers and was handicapped too
by being cassed as the seceding pow
er, but that war which drenched Dixie
in the blood OF her own sons as wen
as made of it the final resting place
for the boys from out of the cold
Northland, was war waged by ma
ton in its infancy IN addition there
we're s.5OO,OOO people in the North
west who could not furnish men to
fight for or against secession, because
they had to stay at home and care for
their own families; protect them from
the sayages of the wilds
That is why, too. we can see the
elimination of all prejudice and feel

argued, the state is a sufficiently small
democratic unit to have just one law
on this subject. Here we agree with
