A Canal to Tap Niagara.

Engineers pronounce the project of tap
ling Niagara river by means of a canal
ntirely practicable, and experts have de-
Jared that not elsewhere within the
Known world are there such natural ad-
fantages for the creation of a gigantic
water power, and that it can be delivered
1t Lockport to the extent of 300,0 600 horse
power, if so much shall be wanted, at
minimum of expense. Lake Erie and all
he great upper lakes would be the mill
pond for this power-the Niagara river the
head race and Lake Ontario its tail race.
The supply of water can never be dimin-
shed by drought; no spring floods nor
treshets will tear away the dams. for
there will be no dams. The supply of wa
ter will be uniform, uninterrupted, and
practically unlimited. At the ordinary
capitalized value of horse power this
would add about 5000, 900 to the ma
jerial resources of the country.-Chicago

A Scene in Our Congress.

A correspondent at Washington writes
lis impressions of the national legislature:
i was in both branches of our national
legislature and filed afresh by the great
lone and its works Of art, by the marble
,ooms and stairs, which can never be ap-
,reciated without being seen. 1t was my
irst view of the senate in session. The
trong light from overhead gave great
beauty to the green carpet OF the floor.
Ny anxiety to compare the senate with
he southern Methodist general confer
.nce was opportune for the former, as it
vas in memorial session of the late Mr..
Miller. All was quiet in the room. The
peaker, in detailing his military career at
Murfreesboro, Nashville and other points
n Tennessee, was as gentle, tender, and
pathetic as would have been minister at
he funeral That so few senators were
n their seats surprised me, and they were
he LATEST looking set of fellows l have
,ver seen, unless except a lot of tramps
n a city park.
"Going into the house I saw a large
group of members in front of the speak
RS desk, and they were passing between
men who were counting them, each slap
ling the member cordially ON the shoulder
IS he would announce zone more for the
Iffirmative,' or negative, as the case might
,e. Such proceeding by the congress of
he United States was novel, to say the
east. 1t was far less orderly than dozen
mall lads whom saw in their own way
lrilling with sticks for guns and colored
,ags for flags down by the treasury later

This from Sam Jones' State.

The man who can turn Cornelius down
must get up early. Some one was telling
him of stopping at hotel where the beef
was SO tough that he could not cut it, nor
when he took it up in his fingers could he
bite it. "Oh," said Cornelius. "that's moth
ing. stopped at hotel in Rome, and the
beef was actually SO tough I couldn't stick
my fork in the gravy" On another oc-
casion man was telling him that his well
digger had done bad job for him. The
we'll was so crooked he couldn't draw water
out of it. "Why," said Cornelius, "you
don't know what crooked well is was

1t is pleasant lounging the summer away
n Idle, thoughiless solitude. There are no
door bells on tents. No peddler hau1ts the
leafy woods. No untimely caller distracts
your mind from the dazed contemplation of
the eternal, illimitable, restless, nnumer-
able, exhaustless, sunless unbounded,
countless, unreasonable and inc1lculab,e
swarms Of outnumbering midges that in
multitu1inous legions TEEN in the air of
June, ever fresh, empty and hungry. When
you go into the wilderness to dwell In tents
do not bring a gun. You don't need it.
The guides win do all your shooting for You.
Bring something to kill midges Black flies
you don't mind, because tn y disappear
about the first Of July. Mosquitoes of the
Adirondack tribes you can kill with club.
But the midges. I'm sure don't know
what to tell you TO bring. Camphor they
like, although they prefer pennyroyal
When they can't get that they gladly se.ison
their victims with Ponds extract Am
nonia they dote upon. There is a mixture
Of sweet oil and tar that Is infaIl;ble. It
keeps the midges ten feet away from you.
It also keeps every body else in camp still
further away. For yourself, while wearing
this ointment you long to die, SO that you
may be buried on one side of the mountain
and have your nose cut on and buried on
The other, with q clothes pin on it, far, far
away from yourself. -Burdetts in Brooklyn

The Hon Joseph Cannon, the member

No Monument Erected to Regulus.

We have just learned that there is no
monument to Regulus.sWhy has this been
neglected SO long? More than 1000 years
AVE passed since he performed one of the
most unselfish actions ever recorded.
3egulus was Roman general in the war
lgainst the Carthagenians. Being de.
Gated and made prisoner, he was kept in
prison five years. Then reverses caused
lis captors to desire peace. The Roman
general was released on parole and sent to
Rome with the Punic ENJOYS. Regulus
proved himself a regular brick on the oc-
:asion. Regardless of what might hap
Zen to himself he advised the Roman SEN
tie not to make peace with Carthage. He
aid if they continued to fight it out on
hat line Carthage was bound to fall. He
vas not even in favor of an exchange of
prisoners. His advice being adopted,
1egulus went back to Carthage with the
ambassadors by the next train and was
promptly put to death. And yet Regulus
has no monument. Who will be the first

where Blood mounds Arc of no use.

People who talk of using bloodhounds
to track Apaches in Arizona don't know
what they are talking about. Dogs in
that arid country give out sooner than
men or horses. Dogs require water and
would perish in campaign where men
and horses would escape. Besides, often
for fifty miles at stretch the whole sur
face of the ground is covered with cactus,
through which a dog could not travel
without torture and ruin to his feet. Dogs
might be hauled along in wagons and
turned loose where the trail is lost, but for
such use as could be made of them in or
binary countries the scheme is wholly i'm
practicable. Inter Ocean.

The Ruby Heads the List.

1t is popular error to suppose that the
diamond is the most valuable of the pre-
,cious stones. The relative value of tn,
finer gems places the ruby at the head
the list, giving the diamond second place
and following it the sapphire. What ar,
known as perfect diamonds are not un
common; but a perfect ruby has almost {
fictitious value in the market, as it is gen
orally held at any price the owner sees fiji
to ask. One very choice stone, a little
larger than an ordinary sized cherry, is
valued at ,0O0.-Brooklyn Eagle.
