MAJOR ALLEN, eEgineer in charge of
the river improvements at st. Paul, re-
ports that three of the reservoirs for
improving the navigation on the upper
Mississippi have been completed. The
capacities of these three are 40,000000,
600 cubic feet, %, 600, 000,000 cubic feet,
and 5000, 100000 cubic feet, respective.
ly. To fill them it requires twenty-six
months. twenty -four months, and from
one to two months, respectively, The
object of these reservoirs is to accumu-
late water TO be let out when the rivers
are at low stage, and so increase the
depth of the water in the channel. He
reports that the experiment has been
tried, and it has worked to the entire
satisfaction of the engineers, and rec.
ommends an appropriation of $50 600
for further surveys for the reservoir
system.

who viii put their minds on the r1

the result will be undoubted comfoss
On this basis parlor set can be nv

S33. The dining room can be furnish,
ed nicsly for s2S 80, and the Kitchen

sum is not beyond the capabiltv al
the average clerk, if he is at all of
saving disposition, and he can prepare
for burden of this kind in few
months. On the other hand, if the
young lady. or both OF them. have
ambitious notions, there is no limit IN
the sum which a housekeeping outRt
may be made to cost. TIE sums given
may be multiplied almost indefinitely
and articles may be found to fit the
cost, and when it comes to decoration
fabulous amounts can ke expended
While an oil painting may be pur,
chased in a gilt frame for 50 so, it NAV
also cost thousands of dollars, 4
mantel clock can be purchased fol
SO so, or it may be purchased for $500.
There is abundance of scope for the
exercise of taste and the consideration
of means. The young lady who has
found young men fighting shy of
matrimony under the impression that
it is costly, and the young man who
is afraid to venture on the unknown
path of double blessedness because his
sweetheart has extravaganza notions,
can paste this in their hats for future
reference. 1t may prove to be useful
and it may not, but there is nothing
like trying it on.
