Early yesterday morning Fannie l..
O'Brieh, the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
N. J. O'Brien, died in this city after a
lingering illness. 1t is easy to indulge in
the conventional platitudes of coincidence,
but they carry little of the essence of con-
ISOLATION with them. In the shadow of
this bereavement they seem essentially
weak and futile. The young girl who has
passed out of time into the brightness of
what must be beyond, had hardly touched
her pure and innocent lips to the cup of
life. Behind her lay a beautiful child
hood. What was before, with whatever
of JOY or sorrow it might have, is forever
a closed book. From the tenderness and
the purity and the sweetness of girlhood
she merged into the white light of the
hereafter. For the mother and the
father and sister it is the bitterness of three
lives that have blent into one sorrow, but
for the simple and loving one who has
passed out of the present into the mystery,
it is the will of Him who doeth all things
well.

In conversation with a leading steam
ship owner the other day we landed on
the subject of William X. Vanderbilt's
new pleas ire boat, and the marine ex-
pert said;
Few people have an idea what the
keeping of a modern steam yacht costs.
1t is safe to put it, interest on the invest
ment and all. at at least $500 a day when
it is in use. When it is laid up the ex-
penses of crew and living are saved, but
interest and wear and tear go on. OF
course this figure will cover the cost of
keeping as many friends as you can
crowd on board, but it does not cover
personal expenses. When you add to it
the expense of keeping upa house ashore
even when he is away on the ocean, you
can readily form a conception of what a
mans income must be to stand it. Ur-
der $500, 900 a year the luxury of n steam
yacht is impossible. New York News

any express train and in it the photo
grapher travels all oven the country,
principally on the Northern Pacific rail
road, of which he is official photo
grapher. NJ. F. Jay Haynes had the car
built for him at a cost of S12, 900, while
the fittings cost s 1000 more. The land

BUILDING THE PANAMA CANAL.


Difficulties of tho NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Comparatively EAsy Jobs.
1t certainly is a huge undertaking to
build a canal with twenty-eight feet of
water, 100 feet wide at the surface,
through mountains which rise to the
height of 322, as admitted. This canal
has to be built four miles out at sea, in
the harbor at Panama. When the Pan
anna railroad vas built by the Aspin-
walls, they had the greatest trouble to
get human labor which could live
through the work. Col. Lloyd Aspin-
wall told me several years ago that his
father started with Irishmen, and they
died so fast that he became alarmed, and
her tried negroes and Chinese. They
also yielded to the climate. They re
turned again to the Irish race, and finally
succeeded in laying the railroad after an
incredible amount Of exertion and sac
rifiee.
Not more than ~one-seventh of the
canal has been excavated, n some
1913, 000, 900 has been spent, of which only
$23, 900, 900 were put upon the canal
proper, the charges upon the company at
home and the probable extravaganza of
its projectors amounting to a great sum
of money. 1t seems hat $23, 900 ,00O
were spent in merely cutting off the
wool and taking out stumps on the canal
line. French people have put. of their
earnings, into this enterprise the extra
ordinary amount of $3.50, 900, 900, and
the canal will probably cost at least
5000, 600, 900. The company is already
anticipating the need of money, and is
about to borrow $120, 900, 900.
Everybody must desire TO see this
great enterprise put through, and if it is
feasible the French will derive their
chief glory on this continent from the
event. The Suez canal was n compare
lively easy job, and it has already
changed the commercial routes and IN
ditions of the world. But there had
been at least two canals across the 18TH
mas of Suez before the French built the
present one. Nature strained her sides
to make an isthmas like that of Darien
or Panama, but left to man the most her
culean job he has ever yet set at. The
building of the Chinese wall was merely
a matter of absolute government, oper-
ating upon an extraordinary number of
subjects, whose task was as simple as
house-building. The principal railroads
of the world have had but pigmy tasks
to do compared to the inter-oceanic sluice.
1t is true that the Alps have been
pierced two or three times for railroads,
but the amount of cubic feet required
to be removed for a mere hole of the
size of a passenger train is insignificant
compared to removing the hills them
selves, which, starting at twenty feet.
soon rise to forty feet, and then reach
10 feet. For about four miles they run
through hills of that height, and then
proceed to take away hills more than
three-fifths of the height of Washing

THERE is nowhere on the globe a more
reasonable and f .ir minded people than
the American. Wherever there is any
wrong they insist that it shall be righted.
Oppression and tyranny cannot live upon
this soil. nor in this atmosphere. The
national instinct demands that always the
fair thing shall be done. When, there.
fore, the laboring men of the country, or
any portion of them, have any real grew
ance. and will patiently and calmly sub
init it at the bar Of public opinion, they
may rest assured that their reasonable de.
mands will not be ignored or d~isregardcd.
They will have justice done them. for in

Rachel was cold and very unamablc.
Her acuteness and force of character can
not be too highly extolled. She kept
aloof from her fellow-actors and cared
nothing in the world for stage business.
She filled the stage completely. The an
dience cared nothing for the play when
she was not on, and talked as if it were
between acts. At her entrance all noise
ceased and her imprisoned %eloquence
thrilled and carried the feelings of the
audience. The other actors were dis
heartened and dared not receive any
honors for fear of being dismissed.
Rachel did not care to share any of the
honors. She was extremely parsimoni-
Gus. The latter quality was exemplified
at a big dinner that she gave to some
aristocratic guests. Knights, courtiers
and the highest in the and were pres
ent. Pineapples were very expensive
and rare then. The fruit center-piece
she desired to nave surmounted by a
pineapple, and instead of buying, she
hired one for the evening for seventy
froncs. All went merry at the table.
Rachel was in high spirits,
when suddenly a mischievous friend
wickedly inserted a knife into the pine
apple. The tragedienne uttered a pierre
ing shrek; the guests rushed toward her,
when she ~endeavored to calm herself,
and said that she had a strange pain,
but that it had passed now" A witty
poet present quietly asked; WAS the
heart of Mile. Rachel hidden in that
pine?' He knew her pain came from
the destruction of the pineapple, for
which she would have to pay. Detroit

The earliest muskets were fired by a
match-then came the flint lock-then
the percussion caps-then metallic
cartridges with the decorating power in
their shells-and now comes the electric
primer, which is rapidly being adapted
to breech-loading small arms of all de-
s%criptions. The ordinary cartridge shells
are retained, and instead of the danger
Gus and unreliable Illuminating material
to be exploded by percussion, a piece of
fine platinum wire is inserted in contact
with the powder. A small galvanic bat
terry is arranged in the stock of the gun.
Nearly all of the usual lock mechanism
is dispensed with. A touch on the trig-
ger closes the electric circuit; the plati-
mum wire becomes white hot and the
charge is instantly fired. One battery
will supply enough current for about
1000 shots. -Texas Siftings.

The cause of much of the premature
decrepitude and nerve degeneracy and
breakdown is in the many inventions
man has devised whereby he robs him
self of timely rest. The morning news-
paper. often read through before break
fast; the telephone in his house, to call
him at any and all times aside from his
reposc; the electric light, to keep his
brain unduly stimulated through the
retine; the railroad and the sleeping
coach, which may keephim continuously
on the rail Gf he chooses so to traveD,
for many weeks without rest from the
noisesome and exhaustive cerebro-spinal
conclusions of this mode of travel, hasty
meals, and all commingled, wither and
wreck lives ilnumerable, which, under
wiser management, mightend differently;
and the needless noises of the city
the bells and whistles, bowling huckstcrs,
noisy street cars, yelling hoodlums, that
make night hideous with their howls-
hasten the premature ending of useful
lives; and when, super-added to all this
unphysiological strain, we have the as
sault of a pestilence that poisons, like
cholera, how much exemption can such
overweight organism expect? How
much of resisting immunity can such
overstrained and exhausted nerve force
oppose to the invading foe?-Sanitarian.

From a study of the dietaries of factory
and mill operatives, mechanics, and
other people engaged in manual labor in
Massachusetts, and Connecticut, com
piled by Carroll d. Wright, the most
noticeable features observed were the
large quantities of food consumed,
especially of animal food and fats. The
d~ietaries studied all pointed in one direc-
ton. indicating that in this country a
large excess of food is consumed, not
only by well-to-do people, but also by
those in moderate circumstances. This

HEART TO HEART.

How many lips have uttered one sweet

Ever the sweetest word in any tonguel
How many listening hearts have wildly
stirred,
While burning bushes to the soft cheeks
sprung,
And dear eyes, deepening with a light

Were lifted up, as thine are now tc

How oft the night, with silence and per-
fume,
Has hushed the world that heart might
speak to heart
And made in each dim haunt OF lcafy

Atrysting place where love might meet
and part,
And kisses fall unseen On lips and brow,
AS on thine, sweet, my kisses lingeT

The greatest wrong which can be i'm
posed upon the masses of the American
%peo.le is the imposition of an unnecessary
tax for the benefit of the pension thieves
and rings bred and fostered by the condi
tiuns which were developed under previ-

were more than liberal before the sweep

They are Liberal now in their liberality
