AUSTRIA DEFTED-

BELGRADE, Special The sit
nation involving Scrvia and Aus
trfa became exceedingly serious
today when Premier Pasitch
defied the demands OF Austria and
declared that the Servian army
would seize and occupy Adriatic
seaports.
The premier declared that the
life OF Servia as a nation depend
ed on such action. and that Servia
would carry ont I'm full the pro-
gram arranged with the other
Balkan States, no matter what
might be the outcome
Austria has put forward two
proposals-One that Servia should
seek an outlet to the Aegean Sea.
and the other that she should
have free use OF an Austrian port
ON the Adriatic for commercial
purposes
Another, but n tentative pro-
posal, Is that Albania shall be-
come autonomous. All OF these
are impossible to Servia, Premier
Pasitch declared.
Discussing further the situation,
no said:
1--WE can never accept that. nor
ut the present moment any sug-
gcstion for the establishment OF
a commercial union between Aus
ria and the Balkan States. That
may be a matter for the future,
perhaps, but Is now out of the
question
Equally it is out of our power
To agree, as Austria has suggest
cd, to the Observation-Disclosures OF
railways In what was European
Turkey. The future OF these rail-
ways must be a matter for future
consideration and arrangement
between the States of the Balkan
confederation.
Afterwards we can discuss, and.
no doubt come 20 terms, with
Austria on freight tolls and mat
tiers of that sor t-but information

Abolish the Summer Coat.
From the Birmingham News.

Why is mans coat in summer time?
his trousers pockets it is Of absolutely no
| service to him save in the observance of
a custom or conventionality. If it were
but customary to go without coats in
| summer a mans costume would be abso-
| lutely complete when he appeared in
shirt. trousers and shoes. AS 1t is, how
ever. he dare not go into first-class hos
telry and attempt to sit at a dinner table
in that condition. And this is well enough
SO long as coats are a part Of a mans
attire.
The argument herein, however, is to do
away with them in the summer months.
Why is that not possible by concerted
action? Does woman ask man If she may
poke her shirt waist full Of large holes?
A mans coat Isl conventionality. In
winter it may be necessity. as is an
overcoat and other apparel, but when the
summer sunbeams are reminding proud,
stin collar that 1t may yet be a dish rag
one Of these days a coat Is burden TO
male humanity. The shirt waist cam
paign has been started before and did not
get very far advanced. But why call it a
shirt waist campaign? II q spade should
| remain q spade under any and all condi-
tons. then a shirt should remain q shirt
for the same reason. The character or
| kind Of shirt Is a smaller matter, rela-
lively speaking. The principal, crying
need is the elimination of the coat in
summer time
| in July as the average woman is in the
coolest winter month. No man chooses to
wear a coat. His, shirt may compel him
| to do so today, but if the coat costume
were abolished he would take care of the
| shirt feature on all occasions.

malady 1.-THE disease of conserved food"
The malady comprised symptoms of
scurvy, polar anemia and severe frost
bites or chilblains. which frequently bled
constantly. The underlying cause of all
the affections is an alteration in the
chemical composition of the blood-or
''dyscrasia." The heart functioned badly.
and the patients suffered from terrible
shortness Of breath, frequent drowsiness
and oedema of the lower extremities.
They were easily exhausted and unable
to march, while the slightest movement
brought on intense palpitation. However.
all these morbid symptoms disap peared
within ten days when fresh meat was OBJ
tainable. and did not appear again after
the fresh wild celery obtained at TERRA
del Fuego had been enjoyed for some
time. DIR. Liouville took just pride in
the fact that this was the first polar ex-
petition which ever restored all its MEM
bers to their homes in a state Of perfect
health. He had three surgical cases to
handle. Recovery was highly satisfactory.
which he ascribes partly to the entire
absence of pathogenic bacteria, and part
ly to the fact that there was not trace
of alcoholism in the patients.

Waterloo in Rhymes.
rom the London Chronicle

From the London Chronicle.
The battle of Waterloo, the anniversary
Of which occurred recently, has produced
more verse than any other fight on rec
ord. Probably, too, no other battle name
lends itself to such a variety of rhymes.
Waterloo is a Flemish name. AS pro-
nounced by the Belgians it rhymes with
barter low" and before the name be-
came Anglicized this pronunciation was
current here. Crabbe makes it rhyme
with foe but Byron, writing only
few months later. makes it rhyme with
true more ingenious rhyme APP

written during the Crimean war:
Wen fight 'em as we fought the French when
met at Waterloo;
We brogged em in the belly. and made 'em all

You and the Conventional.
rom the Nautilus.


Genius can never develop until the mind
is free enough to follow it's own thoughts
The conventional always stiles anything
like a genius. Imagine Edison as having
spent four years at college as young
man and then becoming a college pro-
lessor. Would his genius have ever bios
somed forth? Imagine Theodore Roose-
welt as having become q dentist at TWEEN
ty-fve, and settled down in a city Of six
thousand. Would his genius for leader
ship have ever carried him to the Presi-
dents chair?
Those who become great, under our
present modes Of thinking, and under our
present ways of educating the young. are
those who feel a mighty urge from nat
ural ability We do not make it easy for
genius to develop. We do not encourage
genius by our customs We do not well
come originality. AS it is now. no one
but an intense egotist has courage to do
his own thinking and follow his genius
to success. Only an intense egotist has
power sufficient to overcome mental lazi-
ness and get away from the currents Of
conventional thought
There Is an original vein in every man.
There is q path to original development

YOU can do that no one else can do quite
so well. You have work all your own.
But you will not find it by slipping into
the ruts Of the conventional and lolling
at ease in the ideas of your teachers and
associates.
The great genius is animated within
himself. He weighs all suggestions from
the outside and he accords each sLgges-
ton only SO much weight as 1t seems to
tach importance to doctrine or a theory
simply because 1t has been accepted by
