The Camelot Cup Feature of Golfers
Magazine for June.

The feature story of the June number
of The Golfers Magazine, which is
published in Chicago and has nation
al circulation, is entitled The Camelot
Cup. 1t is written by Attorney c. Men
zies Miller of Brattleboro and is il
mstrated by Genevieve Stump. The
motif is original, the interest well sus.
tanned and the climax effective and
heart-warming. Mr.. Miller was a we'll
known contributor to leading magazines
several years and The Camelot Cup
shows that he has lost none of his pow
Ter when he gives attention to story
writing.

President IncredulOus.

WASHINGTON. D. C., Feb. l. President Wilson retired at 1 o'clock last night after having spent the eve ming alone in his study. He seemed incredulous when the first unofficial draft of the German note was handed to him, but his doubts were dispelled when the official copy of the note was conveyed to him by Ambassador von Bernstorff, following which he inn mediately summoned Secretary Lam sing for a conference. What steps will be taken by the administration has not been made known, but it is generally conceded that diplomatic relations between the United States and Germany will be severed within the next twenty-four hours.

Five Hundred Subs Ready.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 1.--Ac- cording to the German note to the neutral nations beginning today sea traffic is opposed by the Germans in the barred zones including Great Bri tain, France, Italy and the Eastern Mediterranean sea. Five hundred German submarines of new type and enormous cruising radius, have been completed in the German ship yards and have been sent out to com- pletely blockade the forbidden waters. The warning sent out by Germany states that all vessels attempting Co leave or enter ports in the restricted zones will be sunk regardless of their nationality or the character ot the vessel. The gauntlet has been thrown down to the neutrals, and they must either aid Germany in breaking the blockade of German ports by England or stand aside and permit an unre- stricted fight between Germany ard her adversaries. Austria is expected to give full support to the German plans.

ParnelI,s Superstitions.

Several stories illustrating the super stitious nature of Parnell are told in a memoir which his brother has writ ten. His horror of the color green has been touched on by many writers. He would not wear coat CT tie with any tinge of green in it. and he objected to anything like green wall paper. So strong was his aversion to the color that one day when a lady whom he knew very well came to see him in the house of commons he refused to shake hands with her because she was wearing green dress and hurried away from her as quickly as possible.
 He also had horror of the number 13. Once. during an election (his broth CT, J. H. Parnell. tells us). he was put in a room numbered 13 in a coun- try hotel. What a room to give mel" he remarked. Il suppose the landlord is Tory and has done this on pur- pose"

INTERNATIONAL LAW.
Held by Authorities to Bs Part of the
 National Jurisprudencs


 The declaration that international law is at one and the same time both national and international has far reaching and very pra: :tical signifi- canoe for the work of building a new international order.
 The courts ot Great Britain, begin ming with Lord Chancellor Talbot in 1733 and including Lord Chief Justice Mansfield in 1764. have held that the law of nations is part of the common law of England. Sir William Black stone supported this doctrine in his classic Commentaries. This doctrine holds good as we'll in the United States as in Great Britain, a fact to which both Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton bore convincing testimony.
 In the lifetime of the present gener- ation the United States supreme court has held that international law is part of our law and that. in order to ascer- tain and administer it in cases where there is no treaty and no controlling executive or legislative act or judicial decision, resort must be had to the GUS toms and usages of civilized nations New York Times.

STORES IN BURMA.

You Can Make Purchases In Them #
 You Try Hard Enough.
 You may walk through the muddy old markets of Rangoon for hours at a time or through the bazaar at Manda- lay without any ot the salespeople talk ing the slightest notice of you as possible purchaser of their wares. The dear little ladies sit crosslegged upon long tables in front of the high cup boards containing their goods. They are placidly smoking or chatting or painting their faces or braiding their hair. They are not attending to busi- ness in the least.
 It requires great effort to get a Burmese shopwoman (they are nearly all wOmen) to show you her silks, and when at last she has spread her mer- chandise broadcast upon the table and you are reveling in the illusion that you are living in the middle of rain- bow, with a chance of holding fast to some of it's cOlors, she will ask her price, which is seldom more than Il rupee too much. and will stick to it like glue.
 She is an indolent lady in many ways. who loves quiet life. and she has de- termined that her most comfortable course is not to haggle in the market place. So you may make up your mind that bargaining and persuasion are use less arts to practice in Burma, however valuable they may be elsewhere.-Lon- don Spectator.

st. 6asiI's Church in Moscow Con-
structed With View to Avoiding
All Symmetry in Color or Form.

The Kremlin, perhaps the most ia
nous spot In Russia, stands on Krem-
lin hill, nearly in the center of Mos
COW. The mill is roughly triangular
in shape and nearly a hundred feet
high, though It seems even higher.
looming above the city. The walls Of
the Kremlin circle the hill and the
golden domes of the churches within
may be seen above them from almost
any part of the city.
Entering the inclosure through the
Sunday gate. you find yourself facing
two monster bronze figures Of aspect
dlscOncertingly fierce. They are images
of the two men who drove the Poles
from Moscow 300 years ago and have
been gratefully remembered ever since,
although their methods were somewhat
crude and merciless, as perhaps be-
fitted their time. The average visitor
gives small thought to these two
bronze figures, however, for at the
end of the square beyond them is one
of the most startling bits of building
that Europe holds.
This is the church of st. Basil, an
amazing mixture of every form and
color that the imagination of the archi-
tect could evolve. 1t is hard to call
1t ugly, and it is certainly not beauti-
full. Every hue of the rainbow is rep
resented on its walls, though rich reds
and colds predominate. Every one of
its numerous dOmes and towers is of a
different shape and size from its fel-
fsr s.F a 4. s,I
nightmare. and yet it is undeniably eff
fective. 1t is perhaps the only build
ing in the world constructed with
careful view to avoiding all symmetry

LAST OF THE CARlB INDIANS
Not More Than One Hundred of Race
Which Columbus Found in West
Indies Are Still Alive.

The Carib Indian was the first repre-
sentative of Lo, the poor red man, to
meet the tide of European travel. He
was the one found by Columbus and
the later Spanish explorers in the West
Indies, and he has given the Caribbean
sea his name. Thus he is assured
monument as long as geography shall
last. and he needs II, because as liy-
Ing race he has practically disap-
peared.
How many thousands of Caribs
dwelt In the West Indies in 1892 Is
largely n matter of conjecture. They
quickly bt IAN to die out under the
hand of the conqueror, who worked
them as slaves and shot them when
they made war. Today 1t is doubtful
whether there are 100 pure-blooded
Curibs alive, Practically all of them
live on the British isle of Dominica, on
n reservation set apart for them called
Salybia.
The 'ryation is very difficult OF
access, Tor there Is no sheltered har-
Dor or landing place. The only method
of approach is by one of the coasting
steamers which circle the island.
When the steamer gets opposite Sa-
lybia with anyone who wants to land
aboard, she stops and whistles. II the
weather is good and the water smooth
enough, canoe puts out and takes the
passenger ashore. If the weather is
too rough the passenger must needs
content himself to go on around the
island and try again on the next round.
