men than women, and many of them
would take wives if the opportunity
were presented in way to avoid I'M
usual hunting for it. Of course, no
self-respecting young ladies are going
on an avowed misunderstanding journey,
but an excuse of very moderate char-
acter would lead hundreds of very ex-
cellent ladies to visit the scenes where
the female famine is greatest. If
they could be furnished maps, shaded
on connubial principles, they could go
out looking for schools to teach, and
easily find those with single pupil.
The Manchester Canal.
Some of the American engineers who
have been over to the Paris exposition,
and looking about the countries for OBJ
jects of interest, have lately taken in
that remarkable canal that is to make
Manchester, in England, seaport city.
1t is pronounced, next to the Suez and
Panama canals, as the greatest work of
the kind known in modern times. 1t is
ship canal only thirty-six miles in
length and 1876 to 26O feet in width. 1t
rises by means of locks COZ feet, and is
being pushed as rapidly as 10000 men
can accomplish it. 1t is expected to be
completed in two years. Manchester
will have more than five miles of
wharves and take a place among the
SeapOrtS of England,

Pilgrims and Puritans.

Probably few of those who trace their
ancestry back to the people who first
took up land in Massachusetts are aware
that Puritan and Pilgrim are not appel
lations of the same crowd. They are as
distinct as Quakers and Baptists. The
Puritans were intolerants and perse-
cutors. They drove the Pilgrims out of
England. The latter settled at PlYm-
outh, and were gentle, patient, forgiv-
ing and tolerant people. They wanted
a chance to hold their religious opinions
and exercise them free from moIesta-
ton. and were willing to accord the
same privileges to all others. The
Puritans had some good qualities, and
thought people ought to be killed who
would not be good in their way. They
hung and burned witches, whipped
Quakers. and altogether had better pre-.
cepts than practices. Those who are
posted will always select the Pilgrims
for their ancestors, rather than the hard
headed Puritans.

PURE WATER.

The franchise question is undoubtedly
q most important one to the city. yet
while the city authorities are higgling
and driveling over the craZy-quilt
patch work they have made of it. they
should not forget that there is another
matter of perhaps equal Importance
which merits Immediate attention. and
which has been neglected too long. We
refer to the necessity for preserving the
purity of the city's water supply. One
has but to take glance at the surround
ings of Lake Phalen to be impressed
with the necessity for Immediate at
tention being given to this matter.
The proper policy for the city to adopt
is to secure possession of and mark the
boundaries of certain territory eX-
tending around the two lakes from
which we draw our water supply.
and to prohibit any invasion of
this boundary. 1t might with
propriety be used as boulevard, but
no jewellers either in tents or cottages
should be allowed to locate within the
prescribed limit. Furthermore, proviS-
ion should be made to prevent those
living within the vicinity of these two
lakes from polluting the water by MAX
ing the lakes the receptacles of sewage.
st. Paul is blessed above all other cities
on this continent, both in the adequacy
of its water supply and in the singular
purity and sweetness Of the water.
There is no danger that the supply will
ever become short, but there is posi-
tive danger that it may be polluted; and
it does seem that, in view of this danger,
the city authorities should promptly
adopt measures to avert it. Do not wait
until either of the two lakes is polluted
by the drainage of the filthiest organic
matter into their waters, but let wise
precautions be taken at once to prevent
such calamity and the proper safe
guards be erected.

IMPROVED WAR ENGINERY.

The timidity of the great nations in
going to war is no doubt greatly in
creased by the fact that in the last dec
ade or two, and since there has been
occasion to test the appliances in
solid work, there have been wonderful
changes in the implements Of destruc-
ton. These are as notable in the small
arms as the heavy artillery. The great
armies are being equipped with guns
that are not only rapid in firing, but of
startling power. The rifles the French
are putting into use will kill at dis
lance of mile and half. The Aus
trian army is being furnished with a
rifle that uses smokeless powder, and
will easily putt bullet through an inch
iron plate at distance of 300 feet. With
such weapons armies are not likely to
come into close quarters. There is nat
ural curiosity to see the results of the
new inventions in real war.

GOSSIP OF THE DAY.
"Sunset" Cox's SIN the Yellowst

"Sunset" Cox's SIN the Yellowstone
Park" said Represen-
Bear Story. tative Cox to a Wash
ington correspondent
Of the New York World, "the Scriptural
prophecy about the lion and the lamb
lying together is paralleled if not full
filled. If the lion and the lamb don't
lie together at least the bear and swine
sup together, and all the animal king
dom are on fairly friendly terms. The
hunted beasts outside the borders of the
reservation seek it's security, and when
they feel the protection of the govern
ment thrown around them they ease
tn cir headlong speed and breathe in the
fresh air of freedom. l can't tell how
they know it; they can't read the post
ers that are stuck up warning hunters,
but they somehow realize that the arm
OF the government is thrown around
them when they get into the national
park.
"When Mrs. Cox and were at an inn
i'll the park they told us of a big bear
that came down every evening just be-
fore sunset to eat the swill that was
thrown out to the hogs. The hog-pen
was about mile back of the house, in
the woods. and this bear would come
down every day to eat swill. and would
go away content without eating any of
the little pigs. As he did not leave much
food for them, perhaps they never got
fat enough for his taste. While we
were at dinner they told us that the girl
who was waiting on table had met the
bear in the path near the pen. She was
carrying a basket of clothes from the
wash and had the clothes on her head.
She said she was not afraid, but 1
suppose she was modest girl,
for she dropped her clothes and
ran. Mrs. Cox and had suspicion
that they were fooling us, but if there
was bear we wanted to see it. So my
wife and l went out by the hOgpen to
see the bear. Sure enough, we met
him in the woods-a great, big fellow.
He gave glance at US, and shuffled off
as if he were about to run away. We
were about twenty yards away from
him, and quickened our pace to advance
on him. He suddenly changed his mind
about running, and we changed our
minds also. He turned toward us and
growled. remarked to Mrs. Cox that
as she was getting fat and could not
walk as fast as formerly, it would be
just as we'll if she'd turn back toward
the hotel. Then l modestly followed.
She walked much faster than thought
she could"
