AFTER TR|POL|, THEN WI WHAT NEXT? Feared Italy May Turn
 Toward Switzerland IS GOOD GRAPE CROP Rhine Wine Makers. Are Very We'll Pleased = German Gas Engine
 Makers Studying Problem
 of Classifying Peat

| Berlin, November 16.-"After -Tripoli,
 what next?" is the question which ac- cording to dispa tches from Swiss cor-e- spondents of the German papers, Is agi- tating the Swiss press and public. | Italy's seizure of Tripoli, combined with the we'll known aspirations of the Italian nationaists to unite the Italian speaking | portions of Switzerland with the Roman | kingdom is causing, say these dispatches,
 much discussion of the possibility that the little mountain republic may be future
 object of the aggression of its southern neighbor
 Since the outbreak of the Tripolian war
 various Swiss papers have pointed out the significance for Switzerland of this un- expected launching of hostilities and the seizure of coveted province and have concluded from it the necessity of neglect ing no steps to maintain at the highest possible efficiency the defences and fight ing power of the country.
 The pait of Switzerland on which it is feared that Italy's eye may be turned is the canton of Ticino, on the Italian side of the Alps, known to thousands of tour- ists who have travelled over the St. Goth ard railroad or visited the Italian lakes. Its area Is 10SS square miles and It's pop ulation nearly 15o.oOo, practically all of them Italian speaking. Like the southern part of the canton of Valais and the En- gadine region of eastern Switzerland, it is marked upon the maps and colored postcards of the Italian Irredentists (agi- tators for united Italian empire) as one of the regions ultimately to be joined to Italy, but what has focused attention par ticularly on the Ticino is the vexation manifested in certain Italian quarters at the strong Swiss Notifications of the St. Gothard pass which dominate the conton.
 A series of articles on the importance of these fortiflcations by an Italian gen. eral has recently appeared in the Coriere della Sera of Milan, but Italian criticisms of the Swiss mistrust have rather in- creased than diminished the zeal with which the notifications are being pressed
 In recent article Dr. J. Scholenberger professor of political science at the Uni versity of Zurich, maintains that Switzer- land can expect little support from France and none from Italy, of the neu- trality and integrity of Swiss territory. A possible combination in the minds of the Swiss pessmists is an Italian occupation of the Ticino, for which France would be compensated by the grant of Geneva, town thoroughly French in language and sympathies.

STOPPING A NoSEBLEEB.
BY This Method II Is Simply Matter

of Imagination.
In many experiments carried on dur
ing the last few years it has been as
certained that the mind controls to a
wonderful extent the flow of blood to
any particular part of the body. The
following experiment has been tried
as many as ten times by me and has
not failed once
When the nose starts to bleed, i'm
mediately persuade yourself to believe
that you are running with all your
might up the steepest fight of steps
you can think of or up a high hill;
that is just think of doing either OF
these things and doing it fast Think
at the same time that you are carry
ing heavy piece of baggage with
both hands and add thoughts of any
other bodily exertion. You will be sur
prised at the quickness with which
your trouble ends.
The explanation is that when we
really start to run more blood is given
10 the arteries supplying the muscles
of the legs than they were receiving
while at rest This has been proved
As the same thoughts in the mind pro

effects. If one merely thinks to run,
but does not run, the blood will go to
the legs anyhow and away from the
head, as desired.
There are many common experiences

PAINTED HIS PORTRAIT.

suit wasn't Tlatterin9.
A suburbanite but lately married
went out to post letter, and as the
lamps had not been lit in the road in
which he dwelt he could only dimly
see his way. A short distance up the
road he met. as he thought, his wife,
who had been out to tea. and as he
went past he just whispered:
"All right, my dear; shall be with
you In minute"
Immediately after he had said these
words he saw the lady turn startled
look upon him and then hurry away,
and the horrible idea occurred to him
that 1t was not his wife at all and that
in the darkness he had made a mis-
take. He decided to say nothing about
the matter and quickly disappeared.
When he returned home he found his
wife waiting for him. and she at once
greeted him with the words:
"Oh, George, have had such
frightful experience! | was just COM
ing down the road when a man tried to
stop me and said, All right, dear;

home, found you out. and I've been so
much alarmed"
George was just about to explain
when an idea came to him.
What sort of man was it?" he
asked.
"Oh," replied the young wife, 81 saw
him quite plainly, and more villain
Gus face | never beheld in my life.
He was perfect monster, with crime
stamped upon every feature"
George decided it was best TO say
nothing after all.-London Tit-Bits.

"Never attack a rat in closed

window and give 1t a chance to get
away. Even If you've got dog to
help you, you may be bitten If you
don't. Rat bites are very dangerous.
A rat eats all sorts of carrion and

And they are not merely suffragettes

survive from nest of ten or fifteen.
The male rat will fight to save the
little ones. but is invariably driven off
by the ferocity of the mother. You

"It's the Blackfoot Indians who use
