Ganbaldi.

In Hamerton's charming book
Ground Ny House," giving an account
OF several years residence in the Bur-
gundy district of France. there are some
notes of a conversation with one of the
Captains in the army corps which Carl
baldi led to the aid of the French Re-
public against the German invasion in
1901, that illustrates the kind of
sway which the powerful personality of
the old. Italian hero exerted over his fol-
lowers. Garibaldi had just arrived with
his command in inclement Winter
weather, at the city near which Mr..
Hamerton was living. His wretched
health prevented him from exercising
much immediate personal supervision
over his troops. He was rarely visible,
and. when he appeared. was obliged to
move about in acarriage. Soldiers and
officers spoke of him as ,.sour father,''
and not as the General. A Captain said
to Hamerton: eve have no discipline
whatever; but it is our affection for our
father, GariDaldi, that binds us together.
It was not for the French Republic that
we came here, but our father came and
we followed him. Look at those men
on that straw. Where will they be in
week? In the grave perhaps, or in the
hospital. Some of those fellows are
well-to-do; others have not a halfpenny;
the richer ones share with their poorer
brethren; but whatever may be the diff
ferences of social station or military
rank, all the Garibaldians feel them
selves equal in the presence of their
father, and all are equally cared for and
loved by him. Yes" he continued,
''there has been no such influence exer-
cised over the will of men since Jesus
of Nazareth was followed by his disci-
pies. There have been other great mil
itary leaders, but they were worldly
men, and their followers were actuated
by worldly motives. But our poor, dear
father, Garibaldi, pray what has he to
offer? The liberty to follow him-the
delight of knowing that we are near
him, and shall see his face occasionally,
and hear the tones of his voice calling
us his children-the pride of being his
own, his chosen, who have shared in all
his perils, and have never deserted him
to the last these. are the only rewards
that the beloved father offers, orthat his
devoted children care for" .

Something About the Rising Blossom
or the Period.

No flower for long time has become
50 popular and so personal as dho sun.
flower. 1t has climbed into our favor
and taken possession of our homes, our
garden and our dress, and is every
where the sentinel of art and fashion
and of right, for it is not only a decora-
tive and useful flower, but bears good
religious character being as Christian
flower dedicated to St. Bartholomew,
ST. Louis (King) and st. Antradis, and
rs pagan emblem, the sacred flower of
the ancient Peruvians, who were wor-
shippers of the sun.
Its resemblance to the god of day and
its supposed homage to the rising sun
made il their emblem of faith. and on
this account it was greatly used in their
religious ceremonies, and the virgins
who OBLIGATED in the temple of the sun
were crowned with sunilowers made of
pure gold, and carried them in their
hand, and fastened their robes with
them.
In Persia and other lands of the East
the suntlower is the emblem of constan-
cy in love, and there are many poetical
illusions in Eastern literature to the
flower that always turns its face toward
the sun.
The first mention we have of it in En-
gland is from Gerard, in 1896, when he
tells us that in his garden he had one
that has grown to the height of 1t feet,
which produces flowers measuring Is
inches over, In Spain and Mexico they
grow to the height of 20 feet, some of
the flowers measuring four feet in diam
eter, and single flowerproducing 2, 362
seeds.
Botanical authorities say that thsre
are nearly fifty species. Among those
which are best known are the tall sun
flower of Peru and Mexico, the peren-
NAL, native of Virginia, and the dwarf
suntlower, brought as late as 1873 from
Egypt
| The seeds, when peeled, taste like
sweet almond. They make an excellent
bread of them in Portugal, and during
the late war, in the Southern States.
| they were substituted for coffee in many
frontier cabin. They are good food
for poultry, and the oil pressed from
them is frequently used in place OF
olive oil for salads; it can also be burned
in the lamp, and is splendid for soap
making.
The stems and flowers when burned
produce good potash, and many a
housewife in Texas has superintendent
the burning of sunllowers to obtain the
potash for her weeks baking with as
much care as she did the baking itself.
In Texas the sunllower pulled at sun
down with wish is sure TO bring the
wish true before the next sunset ESQ the
Indian says), and no true Texan will
have garden without at least one OF
these "mimic suns in it, TO dream
of them signifies that you will have your
pride wounded; and n negro, if he has
this dream, will never rest until he has
pulled sunilower To counterfeit the
omen. And in some parts of the South
a negro will not let you bring into the
house sunllower that has been pulled
before it is perfect or one that is in any
| way broken. -HarperS Weekly

The Suez Canal.

When Napoleon sent his engineers to
take the levels across the Isthmus of
Suez in order to determine the practical
bilty of digging a canal through the
sand for commercial purposes, they
made out that the surface of the Gulf Of
Suez was thirty feet higher than the
Mediterranean. and so the pro ect was
for the time given up. The blunder in
the survey was not discovered until
1910, when new schemes began to be
agitated for cutting ship channel that
would shorten the voyage from Europe
TO India and the East by almost the en-
tire distance around the continent of
Africa.
In 1854 NJ. de Lesseps formed canal
company and obtained grant from the
Viceroy of Egypt for ninety-nine years.
The scheme was looked upon with sus-
picion by British engineers and British
capitalists, and the inception and prose-
cution of the enterprise were largely
due to the French. In 1859 the work
was begun. and ten years later the
Red Sea and the Mediterranean met in
the Bitter Lakes. The total length of
the canal is not far from 100 miles,
about seventy-live miles of the course
being formed by excavation and twenty
five miles lying through the shallow
lakes OF the isthmus, which, in many
places, required deepening. The ordi-
nary width of the canal is 32j feet at the
surface and >eventy-two feet at the bot
tom, the depth of the water being
twenty-six feet. There are no locks
throughout its course, and its termin
are Suez, at the entrance to the Gulf of
Suez on the south, from which point
there are railroads to Cairo and Alex
andria and fresh-water canal to
the Nile, and Port Said ut the margin of
the Mediterranean on the north. The
building of an artificial harbor at each
terminus, with the necessary protec-
tions, was reckoned a greater under
taking than the excavation of the canal
itself.
The work was formally opened on the
18th OF November, 1869, and on the
10Th it was publicly announced that
Lord BeaconSield had purchased from
lsmail Pasha, who had become viceroy
OF Egypt under the title of Khediye,
1862 out of the 400 900 shares of E2O
each. The sum paid was "a, $50, 600,
and the commissions to the Rothschilds
and other expenses of the transaction
amounted to about 100000 more. BY
the terms of transfer the Government
receives interest at five per cent. on the
shares till the year 1894, after which it
is to receive the full dividends, There
are three members of the Board of Di-
rectors representing the interest of the
British Government, one of whom is a
resident director in Paris. where he has
hitherto acted in perfect accord with
the French majority in the directory.
The following table, compiled by the
New York Horta, shows the enormous
traffic that has PASSED through the canal
and Dail tolls since IL was oOpppd.
