AT LAST our rotund friend Stewart
has set his masons at work placing the
stones for the Plaza fence. The begin

somewhat carelessly cut as regards
width. This will prevent as snug a job

bursts Of uproarious applause. Every

The Polar Wave.

The cold weather we have been having
of late in these ATTITUDES is as the balmy
breath of the May-time in comparison
with what they have been having in
Montana, according to a correspondent.
"Writing from Silver Bow, in that ter
ritory, he says that the previous mid
night the thermometer marked ffty-six
degrees below zero. Thatwas the night
when Cinnamon and whisky froze, as
reported by telegraph. During a severe
cold snap in Iowa some years ago,
when the mercury ranged for many days
between fourteen and thirty-six degrees

was currently reported, before starting

tells of his success in freezing mercury.

degrees it had begun to harden on the

Arab Horse MaXims,

Whose raiseth and traineth a horse
for the Lord is counted in the number
of those who give aims day and night,
IN private as well as public. He will
find his reward. All his sins will be
forgiven him, and never will any fear
come over him and dishonor his heart.
Let your colt be domesticated and
live with you from his tenderest age,
and when a horse he will be simple,
docile, faithful and Injured to hardship
and fatigue.
If you have your horse to serve you
on the day of trial, if you desire him
then to be horse of truth, make him
sober, accustomed to hard work and
inaccessible to fear.
Do not beat your horses, nor speak to
them in loud tone of voice do not be
angry with them, but kindly reprove
their faults; they will do better there
after, for they understand the language
of man and its meaning.
If you have long days journey be-
fore you, spare your horse at the start !;
let him frequently walk to recover his
wind. Continue this until he has
sweated and dried three times, and you
may ask him whatever you please, he

Never let your horse run up or down

trary, slscken your pace. (Which do

Observe your horse when he is drink

The Suez Canal.

A letter from Cairo to the Eastern
Budget, dated the 31st December, SAYS:
The present state of the Suez canal is
far from satisfac'or The canal is
neither completed nor in good repair,
and if matters are left as they are at
present it will become useless in few
years. It is broad enough to accommo-
date three steamers abreast, but its
depth is so variable that one ship only
can pass through it at time. When a
vessel comes from Sdez the ships c)m-
ing from Europe must wait at Port Said,
aud if the ship gets aground on the sand
the whole commune alton is stopped
until it is set afoat again. This, of
course, causes great injury to trade, and
complaints are frequent. The chief
cause of the evil is the want of money.
The English, who use the canal more
than any other nation, have long been
thinking of getting the canal into their
own hands, but majority of two-thirds
of the shareholders is nee sssary In order
to change the management, and as the
vicaroy is the possessor of one-th1rd OF
the shares, he has practically the cast
ing vote. It is true that one-third OF
the shares are also in the possession of
Englishmen, but the attempts which
have been made to induce the viceroy
to dispose of his shares have hitherto
been fruitless. The khedive evidently
feared that ENGLAND will become too
powerful on the canal, and therefore
prefers the status quo. AS for M. De
Lesseps, he continues to send protests
to Constantinople about the canal dues,
and his finances are becoming worse
every day. The cost of the maintenance
of the canal and Dire lginR-works is from
Is, 900, 900 to 1000, 900 francs year
while his total receipts this year have
only amounted to 80, OOO. 900 francs, and
it is very uncertain whether they viii
be maintained at that figure. Mer
chants here are unanimously of opinion
that something must be done to pre-
vent thi 5useful work from being ruined
and that NJ. De Lesseps should eithel
be allowed greater freedom of action
or be given an opportunity OF selling
the shares to new company"

When the tide is out, Panama lies

blackenipg here and there the sea-
weed-buE they are the scavengers of
the tropics their lives protected by
law, and their swift scent for carrion is

huddled upon rocky peninsula juttiug

A New Grass.

The Savannah Advertiser says that
after Sherman made his march to The
sea, all in the wide track of waste and
desolation that he made with the tramp
of his footman and the iron feet of his
cavalry there sprung up a new and IN
known grass from the soil, which the
farmers called SHERMAN clover" II
would grow up in the most unexpected
places, and it is said would root out
Bermuda grass and, as a strange SINH
larity, we now hear that after the Fran
co-Prussian war of 1901 in many dis
tricts of France a new vegetation sprang
up, evidently the result of the invasion.
1t was believed that this vegetation
would become acclimatized, but very
few of the species introduced in this
way appear likely to continue to flour
ish. In the departments of Loir and
Loiret- Choir, of one hundred and sixty
three German species, at least one-halt
have already disappeared, and the sur
viving species diminish in vigor each
year. Scarcely five or six species APP
pear to manifest any tendency to be-
come acclimatized. Can any of our
naturalists account for it.

The Effect of Exercise.

It is found by observation that the
effect of training" or the persistent
use Of gymnastic exercises, is to enlarge
the heart and lungs both in size and
capacity. Archibald McClaren, super
intendent of the Oxford gymnasium,
and author of Physical Education"
SAYS s'One of the army officers sent
to me to be instructed in gymnastics
gained five inches in girth around the
chest in less than three months" That
this growth is not explained by the
mere enlargement of the pectiora
muscles is proved by the increased
volume of air which the lungs are en-
abled to expire, as is demonstrated by
the spirOmeter, and post mOrtems
abundantly show an increased capacity
as we'll as size in the heart and large
blood vessels. The lungs increase in
length and breadth, forcing the ribs
outward and the diaphragm downwards.
It is for this reason that athletes and
gsmnasts are enable to make prolonged
ard violent exertions without getting
out of wind. The capacity of the heart
and central arteries being enlarged,
they can accommodate more blood.
Their contractile power being increased
by this new demand upon them, they
are enabled to send on the current
through the lungs with increased We
locity, and thus by their greater capac-
ity are able to oxygenize the blood as
fast as it is supplied to them, and SO no
congestion takes place, and no incon-
venience is felt. The normal capacity
of the lungs of an adult male is about
200 cubic inches. It is computed that
an enlargement of three inches around
the chest gives an increase of fifty
inches of lung capacity.

Some Pretty Experiments for the
Children.

Place tobacco-pipe in such a posi-
ton, on the edge of the table, that if it
were left unsupported it would fall to
the floor. A poker may now be sus-
pended from the pipe in such a manner
that the weight of the poker will be
sustained by the pipe. The looped
string on which the poker hangs should
be as close as possible to the bowl of
the pipe, and the end of the poker
must fall under the edge of the table.
The center of gravity in this case is
below tbs center of suspension, and
the pipe consequently supports the
poker.
2. II little thread be well soaked in
a solution of salt and water, and then
dried and tied to a ring, not much
larger than a wedding ring, you may
thread, which will burn it to ashes, aud
yet it will sustain the ring. The cohe-
sion of the fibrous particles of the
thread having been destroyed by the
action of the flame, the ring is now
supported by the cohesion of the par
ticles of salt.
3. Wrap a piece of c'ean writing
paper tightly around the cylindrical
handle of the poker, and the paper may
be held over the flame of lamp or can
die for some time without being in the
least injured or burnt now wrap a
similar piece of paper around a cylin-
der of wood and hold it over the fame,
which will burn it almost Immediately.
The experiment shows the difference
between the conducting powers of metal
and wood, the heat being conducted
away from the paper by the iron almost
as rapidly as communicated, whilst
wood, being a bad conductor of heat
takes fire almost Immediately.
4. Place in a small glass bottle hot
water near boiling point, colored deep
at at the the bottom lotto Of a glass jar or cold
water. Immediately the light. hot, col
ored water in the phial will be dis
placed by the heavier cold water in the
jar, and will ascend in beautiful Grim
son clouds to the jar.

A YEAR HENCE,

NE olndly grope along the wall,
With feeble, futtering fingers,
We list to hear fOotstsp fail,
where silence only fingers:
We fain would tread the path that lies
The most remote from shadow
AND underneath the voiceless skies
We seek for pleasant meadows.
We wonder If the light to-day
That seems our faith replying,
On slivery sail will DRIFT away
when this year shall be diving
We pause beneath the starry track
OF smiling worlds above US,
ana dream they're softly answering back
Immortal loyes-whO loves US.
We clasp the hand of lover, friend,
AND hear his pledges over;
Yet swiftly to the twelyemonth's end
thought authorizations rover;
Inc planets change, and Heavens own blue
Sometimes is seen to smother,
Shall human face be nearer true
Than face of any other?
o get thee hence, perplexiug thought,
Like ship without a harbOr,
A steady hand with goodness fraught
viii build US restful a. Dor;
But be the earth in shade or sun,
In joy or tribulatiOn,
Stand brave and patient, every one,
To meet the dispensation.
