= NATIONAL BOUNDARIES,
Lack Of Geographical knowledge Has
Cost the World Millions.

Lack of geographical knowledge
has cost the nations Of the world
millions of dollars in treaty making,
declared Sir Thomas Holdich, the
British geographical authority, in a
lecture before the Royal Geograph-
zeal society on "Problems In Bound
airy Making."
Lack Of exact knowledge" he
he said, els the first rock on which
boundary treaties split. Where
maps did not exist and where it
was out of the question to wait for
them to be made, the a~rbitrators
have been forced repeatedly into
adopting the worst of expedients,
the straight line.
"The disadvantages Of a straight
line have been illustrated in sew
eral instances lately, notably in
boundary dis utes in central and
southern Africa. In one case an
awkward international complication
arose when it was found that a wide
tract Of valuable land had been err
roneously assigned to England and
had to be transferred to Belgium.
Then there vas the adoption of a
definite meridian which crossed the
kalahari desert, the eastern limit
Of German southwest Africa. This
entailed years Of scientific labor.
costing a sun equal to the value Of
thousands Of square miles of useful
map making, to find out where the
meridian really lay.
"Absurd incidents arose over the
delimltation Of the boundary be-
tween the United States and Cana
da. One Of the main difficulties
arose as to what was meant in the
treaty by a main channel Be
tween Vancouver and the main
land there is an archipelago, and
among them at least three channels
that might be called main chan
nels.' Chief among these islands
was one called San Juan. In 1859
q pig was shot by an American on
San Juan, and the American was
hailed before a British magistrate
and threatened with imprisonment.
This put a climax to the dispute.
American honor was touched, and
troops we're landed from both sides.
1t looked as if the pig incident
would lead to war, but the position
was saved by arbitration. The
award gave away the whole archi-
pelago to the United S%tates."-
Brooklyn Eagle.

Changing
The Day
By CAMPBELL

Alphonse set the %coffeepot close
to Sheldon's hand and retired to
the bar. The dinner rush was over,
and he was certain that no one
would come now until after the the
alters let out.
Meanwhile the two young people
at the table would surely chat for
half an hour or so, which time Al
phonse might spend with profit in
discussing with the fat bartender
certain nice points in the mixing Of
fancy beverages.
Meanwhile his two'patrons slipped
their coffee, and Sheldon lit the
cigar that Alphonse had brought.
When he dined alone-the cigar came
from the corner box ON the five cent
end, but when the young lady came
Alphonse always brought a perfecto
from the box in the ice chest with
an deliberately casual "The usual,
monsieur"
This was intended to'impress the
guest with the belief that Sheldon
habitually smoked fat %perfectos
with red and gold sashes. Tonight
A%lphonse's elaborate politeness was
ignored by the usually genial Shell
don.
"Now for the news" he began as
the waiter headed fenr the bar. q
couldn't wait for Saturday to tell
you, though it is o1lv two days off

What He Called Her,

A big. elderly English farmer
called on a solicitor and said he'd
like to make his Will. "TI leave
rlv brass to the wife, he said.
.We've been married thirty years"
The solicitor prepared to receive
particulars. "SWhat's YOUR wife's
Christian name:" he asked. The
farmer scratched his head, thought,
scratched his head again. No; he
couldn't remember. Hanged if he
knew at all. The solicitor thought
of a ruse. walk to that door, he
suggested, "and call upstairs as if
you're calling her" The farmer did
SO. He called out, "Missus!!'-Ar-

HELP FOR THE ALCOHOLIC
ADDICT.

CANDY DRUNKARD's FRIEND.
'sIf any man doubts that candy
will relieve the drink habit
says the Medical World under
recent date, The can easily test
it,
This paper goes OH: THE
man who puts lots of molasses
on his wheat cakes at breakfast
will find himself gradually for
getting 20 stop in for his custo-
mary drink on his way to work.
If the man who goes out be-
tween times fer liquid refresh-
meuts will go into a candy store
instead and get FIVE or ten cents
worth of candy and eat it, he
will have candy on his desk and
carry it in his pockets. Not one
man in hundred knows why he
forgot to 60 out and see a man
when attending the theatre. if
he had bought a box of candy
for his companion and eaten a
little of it himself for petite
ness sake
1 have known many men who
were accustomed to the use OF
alcoholic stinulants, and among
them I have never known a man
who cared anything for candy.
The reason for this is simply:
Sugar taken into the system is
acted on by the digestive fluids,
fermented and thereby produces
a mild alcoholic ferment, which,
while not in the least harmful
supplies elements absolutely
necessary in the human economy
in producing bodily warmth and
blood vitality. The moderate
eating of candy at frequent in.
tervals will absolutely relieve
the alcoholic craving as no other
thing will do, and this informa
ton is of such vital Importance
that it ought to be given the
widest publicity to insure the
G reatest benefit to those who
need TT. H. LaBaume.
