WAR SHOULD Be MADE FAIR

Of the Duello.


War is now carried on in an uii-
lcivilized fashion. II is fought as il
Jail participants we're savages. What
us politely called strategy is taking
the enemy unawares and not giving
him a fair show. Formerly, when
1.-TWO men had quarrel, they settled
their differences in the manner Of
modern warfare. But now, when
even one man stabs another in the
back, OF men shoot each other at
sight because Of a grievance or an
agreement that they are enemies, we
Justly say that they are uncivilized,
and in the measure that they fall
upon one another like wild beasts we
declare that they render uncivilized
the communities in which they live.
On the other hand, where the code
duello exists, and the civilization is
of high order, there is a court of
honor to determine among gentle
men of similar connections whether
the challenge is justified or not, and
something of the conditions under
which the fight shall take place. I'm
fair conditions are not allowed, sec
onds and an umpire are insisted
upon, as well as the presence of sur
geons, to prevent unnecessary loss of
life. A duel, fought under the code,
is more civilized proceeding than
a Kentucky shooting. Could not
civilization invent similar amenities
for fight between nations ?-Atlan-

THE TEA DRINKERS.

The chronic tea drinkers of this
country are generally the kitchen
girls and women who remain in the
kitchen and in the house a great
deal. The teapot is constantly on
the stove and the strong stale brew
full of tannic acid and bitter extrac-
tives is poured into the stomach at
frequent intervals. Here we get
not only the stimulation Of the cnf-
fem, but the irritation Of the tannin
derivatives on the stomach mucous
membrane. The sooner or later re-
suit is sleeplessness, and irritable
fretty disposition, nervous dyspepsia,
or even gastritis, and constipation.
OF course, the treatment is to stop
the cause, treat the insomnia, dys-
pepsia and constipation, and give
fresh air. Tea tasters show earlier
than other individuals decay of the
teeth. Children up to Is years
should not drink coffee or tea regu-
larly.-Journel of the American
Medical Association.

for that purpose was freely drawn

SIR WALTER AT ABBo1sFoRD
This Is the Centenary Of scott's En-.
try Into Possession OF That
Famous Estate.

This is a notable year in the his
tory Of Abbotsford, for il is the CEN
tenary Of Sir Walter SCOTS entry
into possession of the lands ever aft
erward closely associated with his
name. On May 10, 1911, he wrote
to his publisher, James Ballantyre,
that he had resolved to purchase a
piece Of ground sufficient for cot
tage and a few fields" That first
purchase, which cost $4,000, was a
wretched farm by the riverside, the
house, says Lockhart, "small and
poor, with common kailyard on one
flank and a staring barn on the 9th
er, while in front appeared filthy
pond covered with ducks and duck
weed, from which the whole tene-
ment had derived the unharmonious
designation of CLARITY Hole"
Scott spent 100000 in extending
and identifying the estate, and in
Abbotsford, amid the music so de-
licious to his ear, "the gentle ripple
of the Tweed over its pebbles" he
breathed his last on the sunny after
noon of September 21, 1882.

duke was a regular attendant was
much surprised by the action of the
verger, who at the conclusion of the
sermon came up the pulpit stairs,
opened the door, slammed it violent
ly, and then reopened it for the
preacher TO pass out. In the vestry
he inquired the meaning of this pro-
cedure. "Oh," replied the man, 1--WE

ALL THIS FROM ARGENTINA.

Argentina is the greatest ex-
porter of corn in the world; she
sends abroad more chilled and frozen
meat than any other country. Only
Russia excels her in wheat exports,
and only Australia contributes more
wool to international trade. The sto-
ry of her occupations is told in the
fact that nearly 50O,00O,00O of
working capital is represented
in the pastoral and agricultural pur-
suits and in the allied industries,
while less than $1OO,OO0,OOO is in
volved in manufactures, and this in

MANY USES FOR ASBESTOS
Theater Curtains, Pipe Coverings.
Wire Insulation and Other Things
Made Of the Mineral.

Asbestos plays a more important
part in the national life than is gen.
orally credited to it. The well-made
asbestos theater curtain assures the
safety Of the audience from stage
fires. lp the home the asbestos COW
ering of the furnace and heating
pipes, or Of the gas logs in the open
fireplace, makes for economy and
comfort. Wherever steam is used as
a motive power in factories, on
trains or on ships, it is asbestos
packing that holds the steam to its
work on the other hand, if electric
ity is employed, the wires are prob
ably insulated by asbestos tape and
the adjacent parts are made Of ashes
tos lumber" Asbestos shingles and
shcathing make houses cooler in
summer and warmer in winter and
reduce the fire risk. From the ice
house, where asbestos protects the
brine pipes from the heated air, to
the foundry, where it shields the
workman from molten metal, in the
workshop, the home or the place of
amusement, asbestos contributes ma
terially to human welfare.
