An Opportunity for the People of
Rockville.

In Balti more one OF the most rapidly grow
ing enterprises of the last few years, and one
of the mos, appreciated as well has been the
installment business. ltsgreat advantage and
benefits especially TO the medium and poorer
classes cannot be overestimated, Formerly
people in ordinary circumstances were com
PEELED to do without great many necessary
comforts of life that is, their houses were
scaniily furnished, and only because tEey
could not at any time raise sufficient cash
money 10 properly furnish them. What little
furniture they had was OF the poorest and
cheapest class aud never made respectable
appearance, or gave any satisfaction. Now on
the lnstalmcut Plan any honest person, no
matter what his or her circumstances are, no
matter how poor or how itch, can get any
thing in the way of Furniture, Carpets, Stoves,
Crockery, Relrigeralors, Baby Carriages, Par
lor Organs, etc, in fact any or everything ne
cessary TO furnish the Home complete from
cellar TO attic they can get all these by sim
ply paying small amount cash down and
the balance on small monthly payments,
are always made 81 low that the money will
hardly be missed This nIan has become so
popular in nl the larger cities that over two
thirds OF all the people now purchase their
household goods that way-in fact all except

Will the Canal be Finished.

No exact estimate of the time and
money required to finish the canal can
be made. as much of the data needed
is unknown. NJ. Charles de Lesseps
said to me: ''In two years the canal
will be finished from Colon to kilo-
metre forty-four, and from La Boca to
Paraiso. AS to the Culebra, l leave
you to form your own conclusions. 1t
is a great and difficult work"
1t is evident that the rate of exca-
vation in a work of such magnitude
must be small until the plant is COM
plete; it is equally true that more work
can be done in given time with a
complete installation than with one of
less size. Hence it is false reasoning
to conclude that if 32 100000 cubic
metres are excavated in five years, it
will require twelve years to extract the
remaining 73,000,00O. That such
reasoning is absurd is shown by the
cube OF last year, which was 11,727,-
600 cubic metres. At this rate it
would require about seven years to
complete the canal. 1t is not proba-
able that this rate will be exceeded
materially for a year or more.
Keeping in mind the sum already ex-
pended. and the purposes to which it
was applied, it is unreasonable to pre-
sumo that the final cost of the canal
will be less than 1000, 900, 900 francs,
or about $375.000,0O0. These figures
are now acknowledged by the COM
pany; but owing to the great sacrifice
at which the loans are obtained, the
Liabilities of the company will be nearly
double this amount.
Any views concerning the compile
tion of the canal by the present COM
pany must be conjeetura1; but if the
present loan be expended with
economy, the results will enhance the
prospects of success. 7a .5g.-
At Colon there were residents and
foreigners not interested in the canal.
The most bitter opponents of the enter
prise were Americans and Englishmen
or former employees of the company who
had been discharged or had a similar
grievance. But from all sources there
was free admission that the company
has both brains and energy, that the
canal presents no insuperable obsta-
cles, and that its completion is a
question of time and money.-C Charles
q. Rogers IN Popular Science Monthly.
