The mania for the construction of ship
canals seems to be spreading, or rather
reviving. Russia is the latest to enter
the arena of designs of this character. IL
seems that as far back as the time OF
Peter the Great plan was suggested fol
connecting the Baltic and White Seas
by a canal. The project has been kept
alive all these years and recently expert
enced engineers have. been sent out to
survey the country and report on the
difficulties and the cost of construction,
but they have already finished their work
and handed in their report. They assert
that the difficulties are practically nil
and the project quite feasible, and they
estimate the cost of the canal, which will
be 21O Russian versts d20 miles, long, at
$5, 900, 900. There is practically no
opposition to the carrying out of the
scheme and the prospect is that the
enterprise will soon be commenced.

Has photographer any right to sell
photographs of one of his customers
without the consent of the customer
That is an interesting question which
has just been decided for the first time
in England by the High Court of JUS
tice. Mrs. Pollard sat for her photo
graph at the gallery of the Photographic
Company. subsequently she learned
that the company had prepared copies
for Christmas cards and were offering
them for sale. She thereupon applied
for an injunction to restrain this liberty.
The company coutended that the neg
ative was their property and that they
had q right to print copies from 1t
for sale. Mr.. Justice North decides
that, a photographer has no such right
unless he is expressly or by clear impli-
cation authorized to do so by the sitter.
He accordingly granted the injunction.

HER CERTIFICATE,
BY EMMA A. OPPER.

The monthly teachers examination of
Black County was about to begin.
Milly sat in corner of the big room,
biting her pencil and gazing at tho mot
ley assemblage of teachers and trembling
aspfrants for first certificates antique
shawls and hats in vogue five years ago,
and dresses Milly had not known that
anybody ever wore.
Milly was an aspirant for q first certi-

sat erect and bright, eyed and charm ngly
stylish in an obviously city.made suit
and q wicked little cap to match. 1t
was clear to the most casual observer
that Milly was not indigenous to Black
County. She was bright oasis in the
desert of Black County styles.
The young man in tho next seat ap-
peared to think so. He looked at her
with quite frank approval. Milly could
not help knowlngit. shc looked down
at her snug gloves and pulled petal
from the yellow asters she wore, and
finally dropped her pencil. He picked
it up with anxious haste.
"Thank you" she said. He looked
at her still, but rather bashfully. "What

he responded.
She noticed that his light hair curlec

the highest Inhabited portion of the

Bread Making.

Once, in going down the river to New
Orleans at dull season when there was
not much travelling, I found myself en-
tirely without pleasant lady companions.
So, after getting tired of reading, l
asked and obtained permission to see
the taker make his rolls for tea. He was
very obliging, and / spent an hour or two
out of each day in the bake.room, watch
ing, taking dots, and asking bread ques-
tions. Since then I have usually gone
exactly by his directions in making
bread and rolls, except the addition or
little sugar and tho use of home made
yeast instead of bakers yeast, which |
cannot always get in the country. l
have tried other bread recipes, but lind
none to equal the following in simplicity
and certainty:
One large homemade yeast cake or a
small cup of bakers yeast, two cups OF
milkwarm water; add to this five level
cups of -four, measured before sitting,
and one level tablespoon of salt and
sugar; mix this into dough and work
