THE PANAMA CANAL.

Said Mr.. Appleton, the American
agent for De Lesseps, protector of
the Panama canal, to Boston Her
aid reporter: '.You will find to-day
on the American Isthmus, along the
line of railroad which follows much
the direction of the canal, except
some ten miles on the Pacific end, a
continuous series of houses for the
officers and white employees, while it
is dotted everywhere with the palm
thatched huts for the natives and the
Jamaica negroes, who constitute the
bulk of the workmen. Some 5000
or 5000 of them are now at work.
They begin to work at 6 o'clock in
the morning which is about sunrise,
or the cool of the morning, and
knock off at II a. m., when they
have two hours for a midday meal
and siesta, and again take up their
work at l p. M, laboring until 6
O'Clock in the evening.
The principal attack is at Mount
Culebra, the highest point on the
Isthmus, little over 800 feet above
the level of the sea, and some fifteen
miles from Panama Mr. Albert
Millet, an American citizen of French
parentage, has the contract for re-
moving 100000 cubic meters from
the top of the hill. For this he will
soon have in operation ten or twenty
excavators built in United States.
At the entrance of the canal new
town is being built. A mile OF two
from the mouth some 1000 men are
at work building houses and work
shops, and, in fact, everything nee
essary for new port of entry. For
this they are filling in the accessible
marsh lands with earth taken from
Monkey Hill, two miles in its inte-
rior
The canal company is now spend
ing not far from $500, 900 in salaries
and wages a month. Another $780,
900 month is spent in the offices of
the company in Paris and New York,
and in the putchase of machinery
and material in different sections of
Europe and America. The more you
look into the canal and study it in all
its relations, the more you realize
what great enterprise it is.
"What is your estimate of the
probable expense of construction and
the time it will take to complete the
undertakings
Il do not hesitate to say that it is
of little Importance if it should cost
$500, 900, 900, and take twenty years
to build it, for it is for all time and
for all nations"

VARIOUS KINDS OF GIRLS.

Esteemed contemporaries in differ
ent cities are engaged in a controver-
sy about the usefulness of girls. We
observe with extreme qualification
that each esteemed contemporary is
proud of the girls of his own town.
Each believes its own girls to be far
superior to any other in all that makes
girls what they should be. Each has
undertaken to set off the particular
value of its particular girls.
Girls, however, are viewed from
vastly different standpoints. Esteem
ed contemporaries invite young men
to marry them, some for one quality
and some for another. In Cincinnati
we learn that the young women are
valuable because they paint on china
in Louisville because they paint some
thing perhaps the lily; in Bos-
ton because they think they under
stand Emerson and know how to bake
pork and beans in molasses; in Chi
cago because they wear immense
shoes; in New York because they
know how to dress; in Washington
because they can speak English; in
New Orleans because they have black
eyes and red lips, and in other places
the girls are set forth on account of
other things.
We fear that the most of our es-
teemed contemporaries have entirely
failed to understand what is neces-
sary to the true usefulness of a girl.
A large foot, a knowledge of china
painting, or of pork and beans, or of
Emerson, do not essentially consti-
tute drawback. They may even be
very good things in their way. But
the young man who is looking for a
girl to marry will do himself great
service if he find a girl who has given
a little thought to the practical things
of life; whose knowledge of the
classics has not so absorbed her that
she hasn't had time to learn how 10
make a loaf of bread or broil chop.
We can assure our esteemed contem-
poraries that there are great many
such gir,s. Philadelphia Times.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

Happiness is not confined to any
sphere of life. Rather be beaten in
right than succeed in wrong. A
sanctifed heart is better than silver
tongue. The only jewel which will
not decay is knowledge. 1t is not a
profession, but fruit that glorifies
God.
Gratitude, says some one, is the
memory of the heart.
The greatest truths are the SIM
plest so are the greatest men.
Other mems sins are before our
eyes; our own behind our back.
Those who come to you to talk
about others are the ones who 90 to
others to talk about you.
If we expect to achieve anything
worthy in this life we must set about
it with resolution.
1t matters not whether home is
clothed in blue and purple, if it is
only full of love. smiles and glad
ness.
Nothing is easier than fault-find-
ing. No talent, no self-denial, no
character, is required to set up the
grumbling business.
There is nothing nobler in a man
than courage: and the only way to
be courageous is to be clean-handed
and hearted, to be able to respec1
ourselves and face our record.
! What we know here is very little
but what we are ignorant of is i'm
mense.
The man who can say all he hal
got to say in few words is an ugl,

Among the passengers who board
ed Michigan railway train the other
day were bride and groom of the
regular hollyhock order. Although
the car was full of passengers the
pair began to squeeze their hands
and hug as soon as they were seated.
This attracted attention, and pretty
soon everybody was nodding and
winking, snd several persons so far
forgot themselves as to laugh out
right. By-and-by the broad-shoulder-
ed and red-handed groom became
aware of the fact he was being rid
iculed, and he unlinked himself to
the height of six feet, and looking
up and down the aisle, said: s'There
seems to be considerable nodding
and winking around here because I'm
hugging the girl who married me at
Z o'clock this morning. If the rules
of this railroad forbid a man from
hugging his wife after he's paid full
fare then I'm going to quit; but if
the rule don't, and this winking and
blinking isn't bitten short off when
we pass the next mile post, I'm 60
ing to begin on the front seats and
create rising market for false teeth
and crutches - If there were any
more winks and blinks in that car the
groom didn't catch 'em at it.-De-

RULES OF SIMPLE HYGIENE.

Wash the whole body once at least
in every forty-eight hours, either with
cold or slightly warmed water, and
rub thoroughly dry with a very rough
towel. Every morning-or better,
night and morning-sponge the face,
neck, chest, small of the back, arm
pits, feet-in short, every part of
the body that needs special attention
in order TO keep it clean or to induce
brisk circulation.
Turn all your clothes particularly
those which you wear next to your
skin during the day, in which you
should not think of sleeping) inside
out before you go to bed, and hang
them up to air, but not in your bed
room. Never leave soiled clothes in
your sleeping-room over night. When
you rise in the morning, open your
bed thoroughly, and open the win
dows top and bottom.
Be sure and have fresh air in your
bedroom during the night. Of course
care should be taken not to sleep in
a draught. Four or five holes an
inch in diameter through the bottom
part of your bedroom door, OF ven-
tilator in the ceiling, with an open
window, will 90 far toward making
the atmosphere of sleeping-room
sweet.
Never sit down to breakfast with
out first going out into the open air
for at least three or four minutes.
Make your walk longer or shorter
according to your health and strength.
/ Do not eat or drink much between
meals. If you are troubled with con-
stipation, try oatmeal porridge, thor
oughly cooked, every other morning.
Eat Graham bread. A glass of fresh
cold water taken when you first get
up has often an excellent effect.
If any one is i'll in the house, take
bite of something, OF little tea OIL
coffee, before entering the room in
the morning.
| Avoid hot and heavy suppers, but
never 90 to bed with an entirely emp
ty stomach. This often causes sleep
lessness, especially in elderly persons
Eat little bread OF cracker anC

A year or more ago, as the fore
man of one of the iron works of this
city was crossing the yard one day,
he espied little skip of boy, seem.
ingly not over eleven years old, seat
ed on a big fy-wheel and chewing
the end of bitter reflection.
s'Who are you?'
s'I'm Jack"
"What are you doing here?'
"Resting."
"What do you want?'
GA job"
Those we're the questions and ans
wers. The boy was pale and ragged,
but in his steel-blue eyes the foreman
saw game. And, too, the idea of a
waif like him setting out to battle
the world touched a tender chord in
the heart of the man who had boys
of his own, and he set Jack at work
in the yard.
No one thought the boy would stay
a week, and no one cared to ask
where he came from OF who he was.
But he stuck. He was hard working
and faithful, and as the weeks went
by, he gained friends. One day he
walked up to the foreman and said:
81 want to learn the trade
"You? Ha! ha! ha! Why, Jack,
you are not big enough to handle a
cold-chisel.
"I can whip any prentice boy in
this shop!'' was the declaration.
"Just hear him! Why, any of the
lot could turn you wrong side out
When you get big enough to whip
the smallest one you come to me for
a job"
At noon that day Jack walked up
to the biggest apprentice boy in the
shop and said:
"Come out DOORS
"What do you WANT"
"I'm going to- lick you"
''What for?'
s'Because / want chance to learn
the trade
The two went out, and, in sight of
twenty witnesses, little Jack won a
victory. At o'clock he touched his
cap to the foreman and said:
''I've licked your biggest prentice,
and want to 90 to work !''
Ten minutes later he had become
a machinist's apprentice, and if you
go in there to-day, you will find him
with greasy hands, oily face and a
head full of business ideas. Jack
carries the keys to the drawers where
the steam gauges, safety valves and
other trimmings are kept, and he
knows the use of every tool, the
workings of every piece of machine
ry, and there is a constant call for
Jack here and Jack there. Before
he is twenty he will be finished ma
chinist, and before he is twenty five
he will be foreman of some great
shop. He is quiet, earnest, respect
ful and observing. What he does
is well done. Wat he is told he
never forgets.
And here in Detroit are hundreds
of boys who complain that there is
no chance for them, even when back
ed by money and influence. They
wait and wait and whine and COM
! plain, and leave it for waits like
little Jack to call up the game in
their souls, and walk boldly into a
great manufacturing works and say:

and go to bed warm. See to it that
the feet and lower limbs are warm
and dry.
Rinse out the mouth well after each
meal. Use quill or wooden tooth
pick. Use a soft toothbrush at least
once a day-better morning and
night.
Do not plaster down your hair with
hogs lard, falsely called ''pomatum"
or "bear's grease the hair is meant
to assist in carrying off perspiration,
and should not be clogged with
grease. No appreciable mischief re-
suits from oiling the hair if you wish
to do so, nor does sweet oil do harm
to any part of the body if you choose
to rub it into the skin before a fire
on the contrary, it renders the limbs
supple and more capable of strong
muscular exertion. Animal oils are
less drying and better than vegetable
oils for either hair or skin, marrow
oil being best of all. Comb and
brush the hair any way but the right
way before gong to bed, so as to let
the air reach the scalp freely.
Do not miss any chance of learn
ing to ride, to swim, to row, to fence,
or to play cricket or lawn-tennis.
Look sharply after all drains,
privies, cesspools, etc., connected
with your house, if you wish to avoid
fevers, diptheria, and other danger
Gus diseases. Keep drains in good
repair and working order, and flush
occasionally with oceans of water.
In dry season pour pailful or two
of water, containing a gill of carbolic
acid, into drains and cesspools every
few days. Chloride of lime is also
a good disinfectant. Don't be con-
tent so long as there is a bad odor
anywhere about the house.
To purify a room, pour wine
glass of vinegar upon red-hot cinders
and let the vapor fill the room; then
open doors and windows. Cold wa
ter absorbs bad odors; keep some in
chamber utensils, but do not drink
water that has stood very long in a
sleeping-room.-From "Hints and
Remedies" etc.

-
The man who lives in vain lives
worse than in vain. He who lives
tosno purpose lives to bad purpose.
Men will wrangle for religion,
write for it, fight for it, die for it
anything, but live for it.
Eheerfulness makes the mind clear
ers gives tone to thought and adds
grace and beauty to the countenance.
When you have learned how to
live well, you will know how to die
well. Be not sorry if men do not
know you, but be sorry if you are

COQUETTE.

"Coquette," my love they sometimes call,
For she is light of lips and heart;
What though she smiles alike on all,
If in her smiles she knows no art?
Like some glad brook she seems to be,
That ripples o'er its pebbly bed,
And prattles to each flower or tree.
Which stoops to kiss it. overhead.
Beneath the heavens white and blue
1t purls and sings and laughs and leaps,
The sunny meadows dancing through.
Ger noisy shoals and frothy sleeps.
.Tis thus the world doth see the brook;
But have seen it otherwise,
When following it TO some far nook
Where leafy shields shut out the skies.
And there its waters rest, subdued,
In shadowy pools serene and shy.
Wherein grave thoughts and fancies brood
And tender dreams and longings lie.
love it when it laughs and leaps.
But love it better when at rest
'Tis only in its tranquil deeps
see my image in Its breast.

WHAT THE WINDS BRING.

Which is the wind that brings the cold?
The north-wind, Freddy, and all the snow;
And the sheep will scamper into the fold
When the north begins to blow.
Which is the wind that brings the heat?
The south-wind, Katy; and corn will grow,
And peaches redden for you to eat,
When the south begins to blow.
Which is the wind that brings the rain?
The east-wind, Arty; and farmers know
The COWS come shivering up the lane
When the east begins to blow.
Which is the wind that brings the flowers?
The west-wind, Bessy; and soft and low
The brides sing ia the summer hours
When the west begins TO blow.
