BALLoTIEG,
The English Channel Tunnel.

London, 17.-Sir Edward Watkins,
chairman of the Southeastern Railway
Company, informed a meeting of that
company that two experimental shafts
for the proposed Channel tunnel had
been sunk on the English side and two
on the French side, and that from one
shaft on the English side galleries 800 or
900 yards long and seven feet in diameter
had been finished. The progress during
the last week had been sixty seven yards.
Fifty-six is equal to two miles yearly.
They have thus solved the question of
the rate of progress for an experimental
gallery and ascertained that the lower
strata is impermeable to water. The
French experiments realized exactly the
same result. They had arrived, he eaid,
at an understanding with the French
tunnel committee, that on each side OF
the Channel a further heading of mile
should be driven. When these headings
are finished. which certainly ought to be
in six months, one-tenth Of the question
would have been dealt With and fur
ther treaty would then probably be pro-
posed, under which each would accom-
plish the remaining nine miles on its side
in view Of meeting in mid Channel. A
seven-foot gallery ought, on this system,
10 be completed in FIVE years.

Another New Testament.

New York, 1.-THE ChWrchnaG'1 of
this week says: We are to have still
another version Of the New Testament,
to be known as the American aversion,
md what is more, it is to be copyrighted
under that designation. As to the par
ticulsr reasons for the publication, the
ChurchnaGn says: The fact that the
readings and renderiDgs proposed by the
American committee of revision have
been published 10 q separate list, such of
them at least as were not adopted by the
English revisers, has vexed the minds Of
some people who cannot bear that any
thing American should be made to take
back seat, and certain others who are
net willing to acknowledge that there can
be any appeal frem the judgment of On
American committee.

Stingy Kings.
London Spectator.

London Spectator.
TheiKings of to-day are growing eco
nomical, not to say stingy, and save
money and seek Investments after &
fashion which one would have beende
nounced as most unroyal, but which
probably has its root in a permanent
sense of insecurity. The late King OF
the Belgians left a fortune worthy of a
Jew financier; our own Queen has
grown wealthy on the throne; the
Sultan, according to w. Blunt, has a
heavy secret purse in England; the
King of Italy is an exact economist, and
| the Emperor of Austria is, it is said, new
er in debt. Still, this generation re-
members the Emperor Nicholas, who
spent two millions a year on the lmpe-
rial household King Victor Emanuel,
who, with eight or nine royal Incomes
and estates, never had a penny the EN-
peror Napoleon III. who frittered away
a million a year, with little but rather
vulgar festivals to show for it; and the
King of the Netherlands, who scattered
in his earlier youth a fortune ''beyond
the dreams of avarice,o popularity esti-
mated at el2,0 0, 900 sterling and proba-
bly, exceeded half that amount. 1t is
not Is years since a weeks visit to Com
peigne cost each lady e500-2l dresses at
least being dc rigueur-since it was i'm
possible for a French cOurtier's wife to
spend less than e1,O00 a year on her
dress, and since a lady contested before
the Courts OF Paris a bill for e15,00O for
dressing her for three years. She had
paid, say the Quarterly 9~12,OOOinto court.
The carefully guarded privacy of mod
ern life, too, conceals enormous eNpen-
ditures. We make very much of Cre-
sus's brides, but Lord Hardwood spent
e120,O 0 in one Yorkshire election ESQ.,
OO0 have been given for a great borough;
and the House of Commons eXpends
two millions every time it is Dissolved.
We read aghast of Nero's horses shOd
with gold, and of a Spanish Niceroy
driving into Lima with eight mules all
shod with silver; but a first-elass racing
stable in this country costs 10000 a
veal, a "liberal" stable for a great coun-
try house has been known to cost "a, 900
annually, the late Lord Mayo's wine
bill as Viceroy of India exceeded that
sum, and any man familiar with Cowes
will point out steam yachts which for
every month they are afloat cost FL 500.
There are MANY men in England who
spend e100,O00 a year practically on
themselves and their families, and if
we were to include purchases, as the
writer of the Quarterly does, among prod
igalities, we suspect the ancient world
would be OutdOne.

N SHE TAINTED.
The Awkward Predicament Of a
Young Woman in Church.
Burlington keye.

burlington daWkeye.
Some women can never faint in the
proper madner nor at the right time.
And if a woman cannot briug about thi
haspy continuation of time and manner
and swoon she had better get along
without %swooning. Now, about W
weeks ago, Sabbath evening at
Bradford, Pa, the best-behaved and
most thoroughly moral town in h oil
country, a city not given to fainting or
other unseemlp displays during religious
services, the Methodist Episcopal Con-
ference was in session and the ministers
were conducting services; Just after
the ordination of deacOns a woman In
gallery tainted. Now, while the ordi-
nation of deacons lisa most holy, solemn
n deeply impressive ceremony, 1t Is
not widely thrilling and exciting, like
the initiation scenes 10 the sons of Nal
TIA, and it is nothing to faint over. But
the wonan tainted, and a beautiful
faint she made of. 1t seems that she
was sitting in the front seat in the gal
lery and slid straight forward on to the
floor, thrusting her unconscious feet
right through the gallery rail. They
must have been a startling pair of feet
to view, for the moment they were OBJ
served by the congregation the panic
stricken worshipers raised the cry that
Tie gallery WIS giving way. SNlu1h'y
mistaking the swaying feet for misplaced
columns or bracket braces. In the most
worldly manne the congregation made
Il rush for the doors, n in the panic
the saints trod the sinners under foot,
and the sinners walked along on the
backs of the saints, according to the re-
spective size of saint and sinner, all be-
ing animated by the desire to get out
from under the threatening shadow of
those overhanging feet. In the midst
of the confusion and terror, one of those
uncontined~ lunatics whose mission is to
say and do the most idiOtic things I'M
der the guise of sanity, sprang through
a window and shouted fire, and untortn-
nately escaped alive. That brought the
fire department and Il miscellaneous
crowd Of a few thousand men and boys
swarming around the church, and al
though Chaplain McCabe began singing
a hymn at the top of his rather penetrat-
ing voice the panic could not be stayed
and the people got out, but there wasn't
a fall bonnet in the congregation fit to
look at. And how badly this woman
must have felt when she realized how
great a ruin she had wrought by faint
ing in that ridiculous manner. And
how the women with ruined hats will
glare at her, especially those women
who can't afford to buy new ones. A
woman who is giving to fainting ought
always to pick out a suitable place be-
fore she lets go and no Oma whose
feet are sufficiently startling in their de-
velopment to throw a congregation of
wOrshipers into a panic has any right to
faint at all.
