THE PANAMA DITCH.

The French government is willing to try to do something to help out the thousands of French men and women who have invested in the Panama ditch, and a new lottery scheme is now being considered. But it seems almost impossible that anything can be done that will amount to much. There has al- ready been such great loss and waste, and SO much more is needed to complete the canal, that the enterprise has rather hope less look.
 Recent reports from the Isthmus reveal something of the waste and consumption that have attended the work 50 far. There are millions of dollars worth of heavy ma -chinery buried beneath the breakwater at AspinwalI, where 1t was dumped from the holds of ships and left when the ground was filled, and other millions worth stand in the sheds. The explanation is that there was no head to the company in Paris. Whatever was asked for WAS sent out, without regard to fitness for the work to be done, and all the more readily because prineely comnis- siens were exacted from every consignment. It is said that in the earlier progress of the work the dredges were allowed one dollar a minute denurrage for delay. and it thus be- came common practice to block the buck cts with heavy log as if by accident, and lesurely remove it, counting the minutes by the clock meantime. At other times mud would be thrown behind the dredges and permitted to run into the buckets again. and thus be removed over and over again at SC much per yard, estimated by their peculiar measurement; costly locomotives were dumped into ditches or thrown over the mountain side, in order that commissions
 be made upon new purchases; cargoes of supplies were credited to- ships and charged to the company whioh were never brought te land, and other cargoes were brought to the Isthmus, taken to sea again for day ol two, and upon returning paid for twice over while millions of dollars were spent upon buildings which were unneeded and which might have been erected for few thousands and other millions were paid in excessive salaries to officials or as compensation tc men who never left Aspinwan even to in. spect the work which they were assumed tc be directing.
 The liabilities of the canal company are already about three hundred and fifty mil lion dollars. The problem which forces il and the investors ir it's scheme is @ terrible

ment is dem srded by the best interests of the State. It is demanded irrespective of the merits, real or expected, of any law that it is intended to substitute for the amend ment. High license is now usually accepted as the alternative of prohibition; and great many experiments with that method of regu- 1ation is now in progress. As has been said, it is doubtful how far any law can go in suo- oessfully controlling the liquor traffic; and high license is still in the experimental stage. It is but fair to say, however, that a great deal of the evidence already accumulat- ed goes to show that this method is much more effective than prohibition. Whether this will prove true in the long run, whether it will prove true in this State if tried, are questions that cannot yet be answered. They are questions, too, which need not be much considered in connection with the approach ing vote on the repeal of the amendment; for any law, or even no law, will be better than a law that is not and cannot be en- fOrced.

 Uncle Roundpaunch (that isn't his name, but 1t will dol is more than middle-sged and very near sighted, says the San Francisco Examiner, but his heart Is young, even if his right foot is- swollen, and his chestn ut curls are infrequent.
 Uncle Roundpaunch was on his way to pay three days visit to a friend at San Rafael.
 It was evening when he crossed the bay, and the cars were no better lighted than they usually are. Uncle Roundpaunch seated himself beside plump female form, the face of which was heavily yelled. Soon the old gentlemans arm was extended along the back of the seat. It touched the lady, who shrunk away.
 1T meant no offense, miss," said he, in 8 fatherly tone, "but my arm has been broken, and I cannot let it hang down without great pain"
 She nodded the acceptance of the apology, and they rode on in silence. But that brok- en arm kept getting closer and closer, until at last 1t repossd very snugly around the lady's waist. After the first shrinking she made no resistance, but kept her facs averted.
 His friend awaited him at the station. Az Uncle Roundpaunoh helpsd the lady from the car his friend spoke to her.

REALIZATION OF THE DOG. Quotations Showing that He Was in
 Former Times M Wch Degpised.


 A correspondent of Boston paper has given much study to the subject of the dog, and discusses thus learnedly on that much petted animal: The fashion of parading the dog belongs to the worlds of to-day. It is supposedly an English fashion, therefore to be initiated. But how different in Englands In vast domains where grooms and lackeys look after them they are admitted to the masters hearth on occasions and attend him out of doors. But one must go out of doors to see the dogs as well as the horses. Ami malls do not live on equal terms in London with men or women. In what well-bred London house does a bull dog live with familya With this it is like many other foreign fashions which we endeaver to imi- tate, but only in part, without regard to the condition. circumstance, or social bearing of the case. A house that one has to enter by way of dog is not an agreeable one. He Is not wholly odorless in a room. This is not his fault. but it is reason why he should not be thrust upon one's society. It is the attitude and altitude given him by man to which object; ergo, 1t is man that offends me-man who is dog-bitten. I confess share something of the Jewish repugnance to the dog when I see him lifted So entirely out of his natural element and made to play 50 important part alongside of man. But considered only in the light of good breed- ing, is it not 8 serious offense to this when the dog is permitted social position which nature never designed him fora allude to persons so blinded by their dog love that ! they hesitate not to call at e friends house | i.A company with the animal, and hesitate nos to walk him into another's drawing | room. Could want of consideration and ill., | breeding go beyond thiss In our Boston Atheneum, among the printed rules framed | and hanging on the wall, is one to the effect that''no dogs are allowed inside the library Yet day after day visitors enter here with all sorts of dog pets, from the huge mastif to the | terrierl
 It is curious to observe how directly derog atory to the dog are the teachings of the Old
 and New Testaments, therefore 1t is comfort able to reflect If one does not share the wor-
 ship given by man to the dog that at leas
 the sympathy of Holy Writ is with him

 the dog was declared unclean and was sn1a: ver5 sion they could use was to compare man to a dead dog. Christ excludes dogs, sorcererf
