Two Limping Ducks.

One day when Uncle Daniel Drew
vas in the zenith of his power: so to say,
a gentleman stopped him on the street
and said:
''Mr. Drew, l believe you are a Chris
tian man"
''Well, YES" answered the specu-
lator.
..Then 1 ask you to do the right thing
by me. A month ago I sold you some
Blank & Blank Railroad stock at SO.
In two weeks it jumped to 60: 1t is
only fair that you should present me
with at least 81, 200"
'.My Christian friend" replied Uncle
Daniel, with a lonesome squint to his
left eye, 81 remember that transaction.
Next day after buying the bonds, I
concluded that / had made a fool Of
myself, and therefore resold for SIS. Let
us embrace and console each other. and
divide my loss between w,"-Wau

THE DEADLY CLIMATE OF
PANAMA,
Over Four HUNDRED Canal Workmen in the
Hospital.

Over -Four Canal Workmen in the
Hospital.
Just before Mr.. Dingler left Panama
for France say $1,000 men were atwork.
The wet season is now in, and to-day
not more than 1000 of all ranks are
employed. Quite recently, owing to
the very sickly season., 44O of the 1000
We're in the hospital, apart from nearly
lG0 under treatment at home. This
tells its OWL story about this deadly
climate. The laborers now are nearly
all Jamaicans. At Gorgoma, a canal
camp, between Saturday last and Mon
day noon three canal chiefs had died.
We hear of the deaths of chiefs-as for
the men, they die on the line and are
buried, and no attention is paid to the
matter. Two American carpenters are
in an unnamed grave near E%mperador.
The death rate a few months ago, from
a careful estimate, was 100 and a deci-
NAL, nearly ITO, per 1000 for all ranks.
Yellow fever kills the whites, malariathe
natives and negroes. Many an able
bodied, well-built negro is cut Off in from
twenty-four to thirty-six hours after his
seizure. Many are placed in the ambu-
lance cars Of the canal company and
die en- route. None but those living
here and familiar with such painful
sights can form any idea Of this coun-
try.
10 return to the appearance of the
canal works. Lack of spirit and lacko
energy were everywhere observable.
Heavy rains interfered greatly with
work. Earthworks are swept away by
the tropical downpour. A few hours
rain caused a small stream to rise in
such a manner that a railroad bridge
was swept away, stopping canal work
there. One may safely say that during
the long rainy season, from May to the
middle of December, fully half the
time originally calculated on by De
Lesseps is lost, owi&g to the rains,
small floods, and the stubborn factthat,
while the company claimed to have
10000 in its employ at the close of the
dry season, only 1000 are working.
Some contractors are losing money
and a great deal of it. One firm of
Americans threw up its dredging con
tract rather than lose men and money.

Why Tropical Man is Black.

An interesting communication has
been made to Nature by Surgeon-Major
Alcock, on the reason why tropical
man is black. The eyes Of many of
the lowest animals are generally to be
described by means Of patches of pig
ment which form their most conspicu-
Gus element. 1t is suggested hat pig
ment placed behind a transparent sen
sorry surface, such as the eye, increases
the stimulating effect of rays Of light.
The well-known absorbent power of
dull black things for heat, and the in
creased activity of all living matter
under the influence of warmth, are
points bearing on this question. In the
negro the pigment cells are placed in
front OF the nerve Examinations, and
here the black pigment in the skin
serves to lessen the intensity of the
nerve vibrations thar would be caused
in a naked human Eody by exposure to
a tropical sun; SO that the pigment
plays the same part as a piece of
smoked glass held between the sun and
the eye.

in no condition to fight Indians any

Choice Extracts.

Study your company. If they are
superiors, imbibe information; if not,
impart.
He that puts his confidence in God
only is neither overjoyed in any great
good things of this life, nor sorrowful
for a little thing.-Jerenay Taylor.
All the petty vanities of life have a
sort Of charm SO long as we do not possess
them. AS soon as we do. the old say
ing Of King Solomon applies to them,
that they are nothing but vanity and
vexation of spirit and afford no real
satisfaction. Therefore LIDO not compre-
bend how any man can enjoy life, who
does not believe in q future and better
one.-Prince Bismarck.
Religion is not a didactic thing that
words can give and silence can with
hold. 1t is a spirit, a life, an aspira-
ton, a contagious glory from soul to
soul, q spontaneous union with God.
Our inward unfaithfulness is sure to ex-
tinguish it; our outward policy can not
produce it. To love and to do the Holy
viii is the ultimate way, not only to
know the truth, but to lead others to
know it, too.-Mdrtineau.
The enthusiasm of one noble, hope
full, triumphant spirit will make itself
felt until men shall catch it's infection
and spread its glory md power over all
the earth. 1t was this mighty inspira-
ton hat blazed forth in the lives Of the
apostles, and sent the martyrs down to
torture and to death, sustained by an in
vincible faith, and upborne by a VIC
torious joy. Not until Christ shall be
forgotten will this enthusiasm die out in
the mighty heart of humanity.-Rev.
Henry SchcW Labimgier.
"A cody clergyman, who is horri-
fed at the cheating and ad~ulteratlon
practiced by certain prominent retail
merchants who attend his church, IS
disposed to overlook their hypocrisy as
shown in their profession of the utmost
zeal for religion and morality and IN
their attempts to take the lead in church
matters. Yet, if a clever burglar were
to visit that clergyman's house under a
false pretense Of friendship, and, after
having found where money and valu-
ables We're placed, were to disappear
with them, the good man would not
consider the thief's assumed honesty ~

Though from the boughs to which they've
long been clinging,
The autumn leaves are dropping one by

Yet from their dust. new forms OF beauty,
springing,
Shall smile again in summers gentle sun.
Though one by one the pcarly drops of morn
From dropping flowers, on viewless pinions
Well see them yet the gorgeous clouds
adjoining
With glowing arches of celestial dyes.
Though one by one the stars are fading
slowly
That all night long kept vigil in the sky,
The distant mountain peaks, like prophets
holy,
Proclaim that mornings light md song are
nigh.
Though with slow step goes forth the sower
weeping,
And on earth's lap his precious treasure
leaves,
Yet comes the harvest, with its joyous reap
ing,
When Shall be gathered home the ripened
sheaves.
Though one by one the friends We fondly
Withdraw from ours the cold and trem-

And leave us sorrowful, they do not perish
They yet shall greet us in a fairer land.

active campaign. both by indirect appeal through
the usual public channels, and by personal solIcta-
tion the part of its active members and accredited
agents. The work viii close on the last Sunday of
the wear with a general church collection. and for
months prior 10 that period an active canvass
through the agency of auxiliary organizations Is
always instituted among the various trades OF lnc
city. Since the inception OF tins movement there
has been steady increase from year 10 year Ill the
number and efficiency of these alxilIarlcs Among
