The Five Kinds of CanaI-Boats.

There's five kinds of canal boats"
said an old boatman. First there comes
the 'bullheads.' They are those big canal
boats with cabin over the whole deck.
They won't carry any more dead weight
than the others. but they are more roomy
for light, bulky freight because there is
more room between the keel and deck.
Then comes the takers This is
'laker, lake boat, some calls them. They
are the big boats, with cabin aft and
stable and hunks forward. Scows are
canal-boats with the whole deck open
and covered with leanto matches like
lighthouses, only there amt no glass.
They have cabin aft and forward, too.
They are the most profitable, because
they load anything from coal to dry
goods and fruit. The whole deck being
open they load easy-like. Then there are
'lemon-squeezers,' them canal-boats cut
in two in the middle so as to make two
sections, so as to go easily into small
locks ON some canals. They are very
few of them nowadays. The lumber
boats are shallow and carry their loads
mostly above deck. Some captains own
only one boat, some two, and some three.
Two boats is the best. We tie them to-
gether. When man has three boats he
ties them all together. 1t takes two
mules to pull one boat and three to pull
two. They put six and eight on three
boats. .r-Brooklyn Eagle.

Taking photograph. by LampIight.

both persons and objects in this way, the
lnly difficulty being that the lamp had
to be placed little too close to the sub

Good photographs have been taken
by the electric light-I have done some
good work in that way myself-but the
trouble with the electric light is that you

not work as quickly. As / said, there
will be night pictures taken before long;

Remains a Frenchman Forever.

Everybody knows that a Frenchman
remains Frenchman forever, no mat
ter how much he travels. You might as
well take an elephant to visit foreign
countries with the idea that his trunk
would eventually come off, as to lead a
Frenchman through distant lands and
among strange peoples in the hope of
causing him to lose the peculiarities with
which he was born. An Englishman or
even AN American goes to foreign
place, eats the foreign cooking, and
swears. A Frenchman goes there and
cooks for himself in his own way, or
finds some one to do it for him. Wher-
ever he may go he forever refuses to
adapt himself to things as they are
around him, but sets peacefully to work
fixing things as they were ut
home.-Cor. New York Sun.

Taking a Train Up the Riga.

Passengers can now take train up the
Riga, because il was one of the most pop
ular of ascents, and its popularity was
largely due to the facility with which
the ascent was achieved. The great size
of the mountain, its bulk and extent.
made the necessary gradients less steep
and the line thus larger. the zigzags more
frequent. but the ascent less sheer. Pila-
tus will be a much more arduous piece of
engineering, but many difficulties have
now been mastered which seemed insur-
mountable a few years ago.
On the whole the Riga railway was not
the success it was expected to be. On
the level railways have indeed supplanted
coaches. but on the mountain-side the
difficulty itself is one of the attractions
of the ascent. The Italian climate does
not favor pedestrianism, and the crater
Of a volcano commands universal inter-
est. To these double causes must be
ascribed the construction Of the railway
up Vesuvius. But in Switzerland the
popular ascents still remain uncontam-
mated by the aid Of the locomotive.
Pilatus has been selected. no doubt, from
its proximity to Lucerne, and the true
hat of the great mountain will be
found in a few years to he a thriving
Swiss hotel. The railway will take more
than two years in construction.-For

THE GROWTH OF NEWSPAPERS.
A Few Items of Interest Cleaned from
the Pages of the Directories.


the Pages of the Directories.
The wonderful growth of American
newspapers is shown by a comparison
between the directories published in 1776
and in the present year. The one con-
tains i'll its sixteen small pages list of
thirty-seven newspapers which were pub
lished in this country 10 years ago. The
other is almost as large as an unabridged
dictionary, and in its 1900 pages con-
tains the names of IA. 100 newspapers
and periodicals Of all classes. Of this
large list, only seven were found in the
directory of li76. The net gain of the
year has been 666. The daily newspa-
pers number 1,2l6, a gain of 80. There
are about 1900 periodicals of all kinds
which presumably enjoy circulation of
more than 5000 copies.
The increase in the rural weekly press,
comprising about twc-thirds of the whole
list, has been most marked in states like
Kansas and Nebras ka. Kansas is also
accredited with tie greatest gain in
daily newspapers. In Massachusetts, the
weekly press is growing, but magazines
and monthly publications are losing
ground. The tendency of this latter
class seems to b. toward New York city,
as at least twenty-three monthly PERIOD
icals have been established here during
the year.
Among the many newspapers published
In this country, almost every social
movement and industrial interest finds
expression. A glance at the long list re-
veals many curious facts. There are
about 700 religious and UNCONVENTIONAL
newspapers, nearly one-third Of which
are published in New York, Philadelphia,
Boston and Chicago. New York is far
ahead in this respect, while it will be
surprise to many to know that Boston is
behind Chicago.
Three newspapers are devoted to the
silkworm: six 10 the honey bee: thirty
two to poultry; eighteen to dentistry;
and nine to photography. There are
three publications issued in the exclusive
interest of postage stamp collectors, and
one of dancers. The prohibitionists have
129 papers, and the liquor dealers s. The
organs of women's suffrage number Z,
of candy makers 3, Of gastronomy y
and gas 2. OF the foreign newspapers,
there are about 600 in German, and 42 in
French. New York, New Orleans, and
Worcester, Mass, each has four French
publications. Two dalies are in Bohe-
mian. Besides these, there are papers in
the Swedish, Finnish, Polish, and Welsh
languages. There is one publication in
Gaelic, one in Hebrew, one in Chinese,
and one in the Cherokee language

Treasure-Troveso of Great Value.

Treasure-troves of great artistic value
continue to be made in all parts of
Europe. There is now on view in Lon
don service of banqueting plate of a
most interesting character, consisting Of
twenty-three circular bowls of ham,
mered work, weighing 524 ounces, and
bearing the London date marks 1881 to
1902. This plate originally belonged to
Sir Christopher Harris of Radford. De-
Won, and after the assault on Radford by
the Puritans in 1915 it disappeared until
1927, when it was turned up by plow in
a field near Radford. The plate is in
fine preservation and will be offered for

ENGLISH MORALS.

The reeking filth that is being digged
from out the Dixie divorce suit in Lon
don, proves that human nature in that
country of blue blood and aristocratc
lineage is no better than that OF the ma
tive corn-fed blood OF the United States.
Indeed, this instance proves that it is
much worse. On former trial of the
case, Dixie cut such sorry figure that
his position in life was forfeited, and he
brought about this trial with a view to
prove collusion of the parties opposed to
him to ruin him. 1t clearly appears that
he has succeeded only in making his re-
cord blacker and more damning, and
heaping disgrace on the vaunted chivalry
of the English nobleman, in trying to
save his own worthless character, by
dragging down the woman who was the
victim OF his lust. In bright contrast to
this contemplate procedure OF Dixie,
stands the manly action OF Col. Valen-
tine Baker, who fell from grace in that
country some years ago by making an
assault, when under the influence OF
wine, on defenceless girl in the COM
partment of railway carriage, where she
was alone with him, and was forced to
climb out OF the window to save herself
from him, and cling to the side OF the
swiftly running train. Baker was a Col
onel in the Guards, and the bosom friend
OF the Prince of Wales, and one OF the
most influential men in all England, yet
he was tried and convicted, stripped of
his honors and confined for a year in a
common felon's prison and driven out
OF society and OF England to he a
marked man and wanderer on the
earth. In the light OF recent devel-
opments it is known that he could have
taken refuge behind the great power of
his friends and political influence, and
tided over his disgrace, but the good
name OF the lady would have been called
in question and she would have been
ruined by the tongue OF scandal, and
rather than this should happen, he
quietly bore his punishment, nor uttered

great friend, the Prince of Wales, bade
him adieu forever in his cell. lie went
out OF his prison and TO foreign country,
and redeemed his name as man and
soldier, proving credit to British man
hood, and an honor to the British army.
Ills crime, which was not 50 black as
that of Dixie, was expiated as no man OF
his rank ever expiated an indiscretion,
and yet the English Queen turned her
back on him when, after years of exile,
which We're crowded with honors
he won for England, he wished to be re-
ceived back into society and the fellow
ship OF his friends. Dixie is self-con-

not to blame. The sad truth is, that the
disgusting revelations made sometime
since by the Pail Mall Gazette, and which
stirred the civilized world to its inner
most depths, has had an effect contrary
TO that expected by Editor Stead, and
the people OF England are more than ever
inclined to view the licentious acts OF
their aristocratc class in the light OF airy
escapades, and allow the actors to go un-
punished. Proven adultery is a punish
able offence in any country, and If some
one connected with the matter does not
move to punish Dixie, then Engliah pub
lie morals will suffer in the estimation

RAILROAD ATTORNEY BILL.

1t is gratifying evidence OF reform that
the Senate Judiciary Committee have
reported back the railroad attorneys
bill, majority consenting to favorable
report. The bill has been so amended
that Congressman may become attor-
neys for subsidized or land grant roads
in suits between one company and an
other, or between company and any
individual, but are prohi bited from serv-
ing as attorneys in cases in which the
Government has an interest. The time
will come, the DEMOCRAT trusts, when
public sentiment will demand that Con-
gressmen will be content with their
wages or resign. They are paid $1,000
salary year, paid monthly $416.66,
and the Government is entitled to their
services exclusively, as in cases OF saa-
ried 'hen generally. If not, why not?
This is large theme and OF vital import
ance to the interes is Of pure government,
and we trust that the Democratic Senators
will force the fighting on it, For years
| struggle between the corporations and
people over the forfeited railroad land
grants. 1t is not even claimed that the
corporations had observed the conditions
OF the grants. In many cases they got
possession of the land and sold it without
building mile of the roads for which the
land was given them. Railroad attorneys
in Congress had influence enough to de-
feat legislation to restore the forfeited
lands to the public Some Senator re-
Gently said in q speech in Congress that
more lands had been given away to rail.
roads in this country than was contained
in the entire German Empire. As in
credible as this statement seems, it is
strictly true. Yet the beneticiaries
OF these imperial gifts have in
many cases failed to fulfill theil
obligations to the Government, and
while refusing to build the roads called
for, still retain the land. This is mad,
possible by the fact that Congressmer
are empowered to act as attorneys for the
corporations as against the Government
and it is needless to remark, that a sea-
in Congress is one OF the most importan
prerequisites for the attorneyship OF {
company having that kind OF business tc
transact. The law cannot be made tot
stringent in this respect, and it is to bt
hoped that it will be pushed through dur
ing the present session.

NEW RAILWAY LOCOMOTIVE.

for perfection in scientific apparatus,
have just finished railway locomotive
which is intended to travel from ~ to IS
miles per hour, and turn all curves of the
ordinary radius safely The driving
wheels are six in number and 81 feet in
diameter. The weight OF the machine is
~ tons. The peculiar feature OF the case
is the fact that though they have built
this fast engine they are unable to invent
Il means to safely control her. and are
forced to render homage TO American in
ventiye talent by applying the West
inghouse air brake, no other device being
competent for that purpose. Engines
capable OF such great speed would be
invaluable in crossing from point to point
over deserts, or on long runs similar to
those made between New York and Chi
cago on the limited trains. The many
dangers that now lurk in driving incom-

THE CALIFORNIA SENATORIAL
QUESTION.

The Republicans of California have
evidently outlined job to take advan-
tage of the extra session OF the Legisla-
ture, called by Governor Stoneman for
another purpose, to elect United States
Senator, to succeed Hon. George Hearst.
The Constitution OF the State OF Calfor-
mia expressly forbids any matter being
considered at an extra session, except
such as mentioned in the proclamation
call. The Republican schemers, how
ever, claim that the election would be
valid under the National Constitution,
which is somewhat ambiguous upon the
point. Opinions differ in regard to this
matter, although the preponderance is
against the legality OF an election at that
time. Ex-senator Sargent, who is Re-
publican candidate for Senator, is en-
phatically OF the opinion that no such
action would hold. There can be no
question in regard to the equities in the
case, nor OF the intention OF the trainers
OF the clause in the National Constitution
upon which the Republican politicians
depend. An election at the extra ses-
sion would be snap judgment, against
which the Democrats would be justified
in resorting to almost any means to avert.
If they find that there is determination
upon the part OF the Republican mem
bers to force the issue, the Democrats
should bolt the Legislature in a body,
leaving it without quorum, There are
plenty OF Republican precedents to justify
such action, when there were no such
provocations to warrant it, The Demo
Gratis OF California will be very stupid il
they permit the ousting OF their Senator
in such an outrageous and unprecedented
manner.
