An American Isthmus Canal.

most accurately and fully informed man
living about all the canal routes which
have been proposed. He writes to the
New York HerlL: 'As located, every
part of the work on the Nicaragua
Canal can be carried on without delay
and with economy. The summit be-
tween the two oceans on the Nicaragua
route is only 153 feet above low tide;
the bottom of the lake Is for the most
part at sea level, aud the surface of the
lake, as it will be maintained, IS llC

tend to within fifteen miles of the harbor
of Graytown on the Atlantic side, and
to within three miles of the harbor of
Brito on the Pacific. Lying between
these distances will be On uninterrupted

The Author OF beautiful Snow" "

Stop, I have discovered the author
Of "Beautiful Snow" His name is ohm
W. Watson, and he isa brakeman on the
Ninth avenue elevated road. A cynical,
soured, selfish old man pointed him out
to me the other day--not pitiful!y, but
with an idle, sncering remark upon the
reward of fame. The poet brakeman is
tall and dark and slight. Gloomy fancles
are rippl;ng across his sensitive face as
he stares down upon the roadway below
him. The author of one of the most
beautiful poems of its class in literature
is poor, neglected, unknown. The throb-
bing lines which have moistened the eyes
of millions have brought him nothing.
The verses were sold by h'm for 50 and
printed some twenty years ago-ln the
SUNDAY Mercury, think. Perhaps he IS
forty.five now, and among old news
paper men his claim to their authorship
Is unouestioncd. All that sensibility,
that artistic feeling. that literary genius.
is thrown away. The poet is lost and
forgotten in the clatter and dust of the
elevated road. What a queer thing sue
cess is, to be sure. How odd are the
qualities and circumstances which COM
mand it.-New York Star.

A Ten Million Dollar Florida Resort.

Curious stories come from Ponce de
Leon Hotel in St. Augustine, Fla. MIR.
Flaglers expenditure there now amounts
to nearly $I, OJ0.0 900. Two bands were
engaged by the hotel. One was a
Spanish band that played during the
dinner hour on mando ins and sang
quaint Spanish songs. The other was a
famous New York band which played
in the courts and at the morning and
evening concerts. Mr.. Seavcy, the
manager of the hotel, wrote Mr.. Flagler
and suggested, as there were only twelve
guests in the house, he dispense with one
of the bands. Mr.. Flagler wrote back
that he didn't want any suggestions
from Mr.. Seavey as to how expenses
could be decreased, but if he had any
thing to say as to how the attractiveness
of the hotel could be increased he would
be glad to hear from him.
Mr.. Flagler does not seem discour-
aged. He has lust bought the railroads
running from st. Augustine to Pslatka
and from St. Augustine to Jacksonville.
On recent Sunday he changed both OF
these to broad gauge roads and shortened
the schedule more than half. He is 60
ing to build bridge over the St. Johns
River, so that the vestibule trains can
run into St. Augustine from New York
without transfer. He is building IN
opera house in st. Augustine to cost
$500, 900, q magnificent church and q
union de- pot that will cost about $780,
600. This depot he will surround with
superb park. He is p'ving every
street running to the hotel with asphalt
at his own expense. In short, he is de-
termined to make St. Augustine the
grandest pleasure resort on earth. HIS
Russian baths in the Alcazar cost $780,

tion. hear he says he will spend $40, :

Mules Fashionable in Gotham.

It scenes to be fashionable now to
drive mules. If you get good par of
mules they are much more desirable
(that is if you want to. be in the fashion)
than horses. Quite frequently now see
in the Park or up on the road several
cayly painted little traps with several
gayly painted little ladies with very
dark-colored little footmen drawn by a
pair of mules. They seem to attract a
great deal of attention, which to me ls
a. matter OF no little wonder. l never
saw anything attractive in a mule. l
would much rather look at a mule,
though. than drive bch' nd one. Still,
as society sanctions mules, and we mrsn t
buck against society, it doesn't do to be
too critical. There are many other
places where mules can be seen WITHOUT
going half the distance to Central Park.
Just look into the windows OF the
Avenue Club some day when you are
passing by. But these kind OF mule;
don't know enough to draw cart, and
so scarcely merit our attention.-N 10

Turning the Tables.


Not very long ago Richard D. Hynson,
of Chestertown, one of the best known
LAWYERS on the Eastern shore, had a Bal
timorc friend who is an enthusiastic
sportsman visiting him. Mr.. Hynson
took his friend over to Queen Anne
County one day, intending to give him
some cunning on the farm of gentle
man with whom he was we'll acquainted.
On the way they saw flock of partridses
on another mans place, and tie tcmpta-
tion was so great that the Ba!timorean
had to bang away at them. No sooner
did he bling one down than the owner
of the farm pouuced on him and e3'
claimed:
Here! I can prosecute you for that.
It'll cost you $40 to go to court"
"What's that2" asked the Baltimorean,
taken aback.
"Just what say. It'll cost you $40.
Won't it, Mr.. Hynson" inquired the
farmer, turning to the venerable man OF
law.
eyes" quietly replied Mr.. Hynson:
'sYou had better settle with him now, "
he told his friend from the city. ''Pay
him the $40"
The Baltimorean drew out ten
dollar note and was about to hand it to
the farmer when Mr.. Hynson stopped
him with the remark:
"By the way, you might as well give
that note to me-" And when the far
mer, having recovered from his astonish-
ment, wanted to know how that was Mr.
Hynson simply said: .,
"l'll charge you $40 for my advice" "
II is safe to presume that Mr.. Hynson's
visitor lost nothing in the transaction

The Evolution OF the SteepIe.

AS the very earliest churches had no
bells, and therefore no belfries, there
were no spires. When bells were first
used to summon worshippers they were
small and were suspended in small bell
turrets or bell cots. After large bells
were made high and rich and imposing
steeples were erected for their reception.
Communities We'd with each other to
make them as magnificent as possible
and in the number of bells they placed
in them. They seem in early instances
to have been placed at the west end of
churches, probably in continuation of
the custom in vogue before they were re-
quired of placing strong towers there for
the purpose of defense. Eventually,
central towers were adopted, in cruci-
form buildings especially. These COM
bined the purpose of belfry, with the
addition of vast open space in the in
terror, which gave light and grandeur to
it. Small edifces may have been con-
tent with low conical spires or spirelets
in these remote times; but as years
passed, succeeding builders made them
more and more pointed or needle-like,
aud generally of the same height as the
towers on which they were placed.
Every church tower was either finished
with spire or intended to be 80 finished
at future time. london whsu seen
from distance is said to have presented
the aspect of forest of spires. There
were particular laws of construction al
ways carried out, which need not
be described except to mention
that much of the sober, soar
ing. light, and picturesque effect OF Their
outlines is the result of the clever treat
ment of the transition from the square
of the tower to the form OF the pyramidal
octagon. Recorded particulars concern
ing their erection are extremely rare;
but more frequently in old church
wardens' accounts there are entries in
which mention is made of them. For
instance. the church wardens of Ludlow
recorded in 1915: sin prints payd for a
key to the dore that goethe up into the
stiple d. And aga n, in 1850: 'To
Thomas Season for goWinge up into the
stiple il. wyndy nyg htes to save the glase
ther in the WINDOWS, xd." The
materials used differed according to the
locality of their erection. Besides stone
and timber covered with lead, we have
examples covered with states, and others
with oaken shingles. This last covering
is seen only on the spires OF village
churches in our southernmost counties.

An Ingenious Thief.

A gentleman dressed in loose coat
entered ladies' outfitting establishment
in Paris, at time when the proprietor
was alone in the shop. The gentleman
asked to be shown some ready-made
ladies' cloaks, as he wished to give his
wife a little surprise. After a careful
inspection he fixed upon one, and asked
the 50 esman: Have you not young
lady at hand to put on the cloak to see
how it looksl" The proprietor regretted
that none of the ladies' of the establish
meut were in at that moment. "Well,
perhaps you wouldn't object to putting
It on yourselff" The unsuspecting shop
keeper slipped on the cloak, buttoned it,
and turned round in all directions.
Magnificent 4" exclaimed the purchaser
with seeming ecstasy, but at the same
moment he made grab at the till, which
he thrust under his coat, and bolted OUT
of the shop. The horritied proprietor
rushed after him into the street, where,
however, he was seized by the passers-by.

Olive Cultare in the United States.

There arc olive trees now standing and
yielding fruit in abundance that are
from lVU0 to H00J years. 1t is said that
the trees on Mount Olivet to. day are the
same under whose cool shadow the Son
of God walked VIII lie on earth. As they
are long lived, so they are slow in COM
ing to maturity, or even to the point
where they bear sufficient fruit to re-
munerate the owner; and this is one
reason why fast.moving Californians are
so slow to plant the olive. They want
something that will begin to pay at ONCE.
To wait ten years en- tree Is more than
they can stand. And yet, many of these
same Californians haze owned red hills
that can scarcely produce enough to
pasture two sheep to the acre, that had
they been set out in olive trees years ago,
would be worth more than their richest
lands. The olive will grow in almost
any soil.
But one to plant an olive or; hard need
not wait for ten years. Either PAM
your trees in the midst of your vineyard,
or plant a vineyard in the =iidst Of
your olive orchard, and you can live of
the fruit of the vines until the olives
begin to bear. The vines can be re-
moved gradually as the trees grow.
There is no more beautiful tree for shade
and ornamental purposes than the olive.
How much better it would be to plant
them in the yard, letting them take the
place of the eucalyptus, the monterey cy.
press, the locust and other such trees.
The profits of crop, when the trees
are in full bearing, are in the neighbor-
hood of $1,000 per acre, and this is said
to be q low estimate. Another important
fact in regard to the olive is the time Of
the harvest. THIS extends from about
the first of December TO the last CT
January, giving ample time to gather
the entire crop without waste, as well
as com ng at u time when no other fruit
demands attention. There Is no waste.
All the green fruit when beaten from
the tree caa be thrown into pickle, while
the ripe may be thrown into the vat fol-
oil.
With these facts gathered at random
we trust many of our fruit growers and
farmers will turn their attention to thii
heretofore neglected fruit.-San Fran'
cino Chronicle.
