YOUNG MEN AND ADJUSTMENTS.

Rev. S. p. Sprecher delivered his
fourth lecture to young men Sunday
night at Calvary Presbyterian Church,
on "What Can the Church Do in the
Way of Amusements for Young
Menu" He said surfeit of foood
was as injurious to the body as a
dearth of amusement was detrimen-
tai to the soul. The Puritans of old
were in favor of the latter, and, in
consequence, the world was under
going a reaction, and had gone to
the other extreme. Worldly pur-
suits in the abstract had no attrac-
tions for the gilded youth it was
the congeniality and boon compan-
ship which rendered vice attractive.
He argued that the establishment of
bowling alleys and billiard tables by
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton was a mistake. and did more
harm than good by forcing Christian
young men to become familiar with
games which would eventually lead
them into haunts of vice. He said
that the Church was powerless to
reform dissipated young men through
the medium of amusements, as it
could not, without enormous expense,
furnish the worldly attractions ne
cessary to fascinate the hayward
youth. HIS stated in the previous
lectures, fortitude, manliness and
self-reliance were the only safeguards
for a young man. Without them,
no influence was powerful enough
to prevent them from drifting be-
yond all Christian aid.-44ItG' Call.

100000 cubic metres a month. early
tins year they expect to reach more
than million, and before the next
rainy season more than two and a
half nsillions. From May to Decem
Der the rains reduce the amount of
work, but it is hoped that the average
annual excavation hereafter will be
about twenty-five millions. Now, M.
de Lesseps has said that the canal
would be open to traffic in the year
lSSS; but Lieut.. Rodgers estimates
that at the highest rate of excavation
now relied upon it must take seven
years more to finish the deep Culerba
section, and, of course, until the last
portion is done the canal cannot be
used:
AS to the probable cost, Lieut.. Rod
gers, after close study under some
difficulties, infers that $40, 1000, 00C
have been already spent on the canal,
which is a full third of the amount
estimated by NJ. dc Lesseps for the
total cost of work. There can be no
question, however, that the further
subscriptions which may become nee
essary bewill procured without trouble,
and we Judge that there is good rea
son for expecting that the canal viii
be in full operation by the year 1892,
or in season to help celebrate the 400th
anniversary of the great voyage OF
Colum bus to America.

Attention to Details.
Peck'ssun


The slovenly person never succeeds
in an undertaking. A careless per-
son generally fails in what he under
takes, owing to his lnattention to
details. When you see a young man
or woman who lack order and system,
you can look for nothing in their
lives but hard work and nothing ac-
complished. The young man or
woman who drops everything right
where he or she used it last and then
go to hunting for it in every other
place when wanted again, but not
knowing where it IS, show a predis-
position to carelessAess, and not in
clined to have "a place for everything
and everything in its place. No
great work was or ever can be accom-
plished without attention TO details
If every detail is attended to as 1t
should be, systematically, successful.
An illustration of the point under
consideration may be had by relating
an incident in the history of a certain
railroad. This road had had presi-
dent after president, and each cooked
his feet on the Office desk and let her
rip. She had ripped until the dWec-
tors finally got together a0d decided
that the right man must be found
pretty soon or the road must 60 to the
wall. They were consulting in a
room looking out into the passenger
depot. A train came in eighteen min.
utes behind time, and the train dis
hatcher booted the conductor out oil
one door, fired the engineer out OF an
other, and ran the fireman under
train. He then backed the train out
and was coming back from the yards
when the directors met him, and onS
of them asked: Mr.. Thomas can you
accept the presidency of this road2
Wait a minute, was the reply; and
the man shunted three cars. cutfed q
switchman, drove two loafers out OF
the yard, and returned and said
why, yes, l suppose so-and the frs
| thing | shall do is to fire YOU all out
O here Don't let me see you around
here again for six monthsp In yeal
the road was paying a dividend, sim
ply because its head paid attention t.
details, leaving the result to take cart
of itself" If one will systemic theil
work and attend to the details, becom
ing thoroughly acquainted with every
little minute point, they will, in nine
out of ten undertakings, accomplish
that which they started oat to do. He
who is careless and neglectful OF
small things will be care
less and neglectful Of
large ones. System and order rIst
be the rule. Order is the first law Of
heaven, and order is what controls
the universe and keeps each planet in
its respective position and place. Be
systematic and orderly, and you will
thoroughly accomplish that which
you may undertake, while a neglect
of detail and system will only invite
failure.

PANAMA.
Prorgess of the Esthmue waterway.
Vow York Sun

NtW ] OH sun
There is never too much informa-
ton published of an extract and salts
factory sort, concerning the progress
of the Chagres Canal. The mail news
from Aspinwall gives sufficient &C
counts of the sickness prevailing
among the workmen, aud of the riots
when there are any. The statistics OF
NJ. de Lesseps are good as far as they
90 but sometimes are made too much
the basis for rosy differences. Among
the most instructive documents on the
subject must be ranked the reports Of
American naval officers, and par
ticularly of Lieut.. Raymond 7. Rod
gers.
A year ago Lieut. Rodgers gave a
summary Of the state OF the work on
the great ship canal, and now he
presents another annual review OF It,
The two changes in the plan which
he has to note are, first the lntroduc-
ton of a tidal dock or basin at the
Pacific terminus, and secondly, the
establishment of a large port at each
end of the canal, and an intermediate
station at Tavernilla. The port Will
accommodate many vessels at once ;
the central station will allow vessels
to pass one another there the tidal
dock will secure a uniform level in
the canal by cont ding the currents
produced from IL capabilities IN the
tides Of the two oceans.
Lieut. Rodgers also notes that the
reflections of the watercourses along
the route have been determined:
In regard to the reflections Of the
rivers of the Atlantic slope from their
present beds, it may be said III brief
that it is the intention to keep their
waters at all times to the side OF the
canal, and removed from it by means
of cuts and slgi es. From
Matachin to the Atlantic there Will
be beside the canal proper a second,
but smaller canal close to and to the
eastward OF it, carrying the waters OF
the Upper ChagreS 10 The ocean; and
a third and still smaller, canal or
sIuice for the purpose of draining the
watershed lying to the westward OF
the route"
The precise amount of work done
on the various sections-the Aspin-
wall, the Garun, the Gorgona, the
Bohio Soldado. the Oblspo, the
Culebra, and SO on-is set forth III de
tail by Lieut.. Rodgers. In some sec
lions the rate of progress has been
good whereas in others it has been
bitterly disappointing. On the whole,
he concludes, "while it is evident
that much important work has been
done and a considerable excavation
made, yet l believe that the expecta
uons of a year ago have not been full
" realized But he accounts for this
on the ground that the foundation OF
an undertaking so gigantic requires
much time; and the railway and port
facilities have, until now, been very
lin tied.
The capacity of the railway has
been more than doubled, seventeen
trains daily passing over the road al
present instead Of the eight of a year
ago and when the quay Of the Tere
pleme IS completed, and its water
front dredged, the discharge of vessels
ana delivery of cargoes along the
line will be greatly expedited.

THE FAIR LADY.


Yet ii we have not the great lady,
we have the lady CONNIE il fault "
You wiz notice her i'm the street She
disappears earlier in the day than any
of the other kinds Of women, and she
is never seen out in bad weather. She
wears a fine, plain boot over an exceed
inglv fine cotton stocking, or one Of
plain gray silk. She never wears an
ornamented stocking, or one OF con-
spicuous color, for walking. Indeed,
nowhere In her dress is there a striking
color or noticeable garniturc. Her
gown. of fresh and bec1ling material,
is better made and better put on than
that of other women. She jostles
against no one as she walks, but waits,
with proud modesty, till other people
make way for her. She has ar air OF
dignity and serenity. Her vanity,
which Is always satisfied, shows itself
merely IN an expression Of Indifference
to admiration. yet she knows that she
is studied by both men and women as
She passes. Nothing in her own dress
or appearance takes her attention on
the street. She never looks at herself
in the plate glass windows Of the shops,
or puts little touches to her hair or
neck arrangements in public. The
imitation Of this lady you will recos-
nize bv the conventiOnality OF her pose,
where the other was easy: by the too
GREAT size of her tournure or the too
much accented outlines Of her figure.
The boots and the bonnet Of the imita-
ton lady are too conspicuousiy stylish
for street. The fine lady wears a bon
net of remarkable simplicity and ire
proachable freshness. 1t may have
flowers on 1t, but the most accomplished
fine ladies wear only knots Of ribbon
for bonnet trimming with a little or
nament of feather or metal well subor-
diuated. Plumes are for the carriage
and flowers Of bright color that would
attract attention. The fine lady can
walk over q somewhat muddy crossing
without soiling her skirts or her boots.
| You never see a dress hook that should
be covered. or find the hem Of her skirt
fraved out. She knows where She

WHY DO WOMEN LAuGuP
