two hundred chickens to pay for set
of new teeth. She had her teeth ex-

during the time intervening all her
chickens died with cholera, and she
found herself in the same predicament
with the milkmaid who counted her
chickens before they were Matched.

An enthusiastic Chicago man wants De Les
seps out that way He says, in the Inter ocean:
Give Us the spirit and enterprise Of a De
LessepS, with his indOmitable energy and
push, for engineer, and we will have "a great
ship canal from Chicago to the Mississippi
river, and one from Buffalo to Albany, large
enough to float the largest ship or steamboat,
and then We can have direct trade with all the
world without reshipprng. BY having the
ship canal, Chicago would become not only
the greatest city in the United States, but the
greatest manufacturing city in the world. II
would not cost so very much, as nature has
done the work and given Us fiat, level route
to the Mississippi, and plenty Of stone for lis
embankmenIs and bridges, and a fountain
that will never run dry for its feeder, the beau
tiful spring water of Lake Michigan, which
would he indispensable in supplying the Mis-
sissippI in a dry term to enable il to float upon
rs bosom its heavy laden vessels" \ glance
at the map of Illinois gives some idea of the
extent of the work The nearest point on the
Mississippi TO Chicago Is Thompson, Ills, al
most due west and 133 miles distant St
Louis Is about twice that distance, south of
southwest. But the most obvious route would
appear TO be toward a connection with the IL
linos river which flows into the Mississippi a
little above Alton. 1t is only about forty miles

Among the passengers who boarded the east

Although the car was !ui! of passengers the
pair began to squeeze hands and hug as soon

attention, and pretty soon everybody was nod

forgot themselves as to laugh outright. BY

That Million of Postage Stamps.

really have solid reasons for believ-
ing that there have been cranky people
who have made the acquisition of
l 100000 postage stamps condition for
the accomplishment of some vital mat
ter. A legacy may depend upon it. A
marriage may depend upon it. Some
old imbecile may have insisted on hay
ing the wall of his bed room pasted with
100000 of postage stamps. 1t is not
perhaps so difficult as might be thong hit
to bring together 100000 of used-up
stamps 1t might, under certain cir
cumstances, even be worth while to buy
q few thousand stamps to get them
stamped. If you have the waste paper
of very busy Offices you will be greatly
helped in tho accumulation. Most
people who begin such an accumulation
break down after a time. A lady told
mo the other day that she was saving up
her postage stamps toward million,
and 1 calculated that it would
take her $50 years at tho present
rate to complete her task. If you cant
complete your own collection, you may
make yourself helpful in tho matter of
helping to complete the collections Of
luckier people. A million of postage
stamps is a possession decidedly worth
having. 1t would have its value in the
universal market.-T.ondon Society.
