The Work of Che French Canal oe.n-
missioners-Two Propositions.
PANAMA, February 13th-The werk of
the French Canal Commissioners is rapidly
approaching completion. There ere all
sorts of rumors, but the concensus of opin
ion is that the choice Of plans will be be-
tween that of Santeraa and Colonel Rives.
The former is too weA known to need de-
scription. The latter consists of a sea level
canal to Bahia, where it proposes to place
the first lock.
There will also be located double lock
at the lock cut in the same section of
Bahia, and from that point to Paraiso the
distance will be covered by an interior
lake. At the latter point Psraiso, another
lock will be plased, as well as one at Pedro
MigalI, and one at Mirafores, from which
last point there will be another sea level
canal to the Pacific terminus.
The estimate of the plan is about the
same as proposed by Santerau-5OO 900, 600
francs.

PRINCE FERDINAND.
A Monarch Whose Life is Rendered Mis-
cradle by Russia.

n monarch whose Lie Is Rendered MIS-
cradle by Russia.
SOFIA, February 18Th The Panitza plot
has completely broken the nerve of Prince
Ferdinand. He has shown so much pluck
in facing the great difficulties of his posi-
ton and has been so successful in his man
agement Of the affairs of Bulgaria that this
conspiracy against him is particularly dis
tressing and contemplate.
He sees that nothing can protect him
from the Vaccinations Of Russia, which
nation seems to be incapable of honor in
her dealings with Bulgaria, and that how
ever he may endear himself to the people,
he cannot save himself from the dangers
of Russian intrigue.
This affair has completely dashed his
spirits. He intends to appeal to the Pow
ers.and ask them to settle once foT all the
Bulgarian question. He is convinced that
he can do nothing with the country until
something is done in this direction.
In the meantime Prince Ferdinand pro-
poses to retire from the throne of Bulgaria
and to quietly await the decision of the
Powers.

PARNELL COMMISSION.
Fts Report Consists of One Hundred and
Sixty-two Pages.

LONDON, February 13th.-The report of
made by the Times against the Parnellite
members of the House of Commons, was
laid upon the table in the House to day by
the Hon. Henry Matthews, Secretary Of
State for Home Affairs.
The report occupies 1862 pages. Each
member of the House against whom
charges are made is treated separately. The
Judges find that the speeches made by
many Parnellites were intended to bring
about the separation of Ireland from Eng
land that the speeches of others, in view
of the state of the country, were calculated
TO foment crime, as the speakers must
know.

BEHRING SEA.
Canadian Parliament Asking About the
Rirhts of Fishermen.

OTTAWA (Ont), February 13th.-Both
the BehriDg sea question and the modus
yivendi were touched upon in Parliament
yesterday. Hon. David Mills asked if the
Government had seen the published re-
ports that the United States Government
was preparing to police the Behring sea to
prevent Canadians from sailing there.
Sir John Macdonald stated that he had
seen the reports, but did not believe them.
Negotiations were now being carried on
and he hoped at an early date satisfactory
settlement would be arrived at.
In reply to a further question, Sir John
said that no arrangements had been made
in regard to the renewal of the modus vi
vendi. He could say no more at present.

AN. EditorLal Expression.

LONDON, February 13th.-The lfersaing
Posi-, in an article upon the Parnell Com
mission report, says: We sincerely con-
graduate Parnell, who has Enthusiastically,
so far as his personal character is con-
cerned, been the victim of gross injustice
and whose separation from these odious
imputaiions will do much to neutralize the
shock given to public confidence by the
long unanswered refutation of such
charges, but apart from the charges against
the leaders there still remains the residuum
OF charges too serious to leave any dispas-
sionate mind unaffected. Itremains for the
British electorate uc estimate alike the &C.
quittal of Parnell and the condemnation of
Davitt, though honor is due to Davitt
that he was the chief denunciator of the
crimes and outrages

impending over the dual language ques-
ton in the Northwest. A stormy Ministe-

Royalist papers refer to the noble feel
ings that inspired the Duke to offer his
services as q common soldier, and declare
in view of his patriotic motives that the
sentence imposed on him is monstrous.

Dont's For the Sick-Room.

Don't light a sick-room at night by
means of a jet of gas burning low;
nothing ~impoverishes the air sooner,
Use sperm candles or tapers which
burn in sperm oil.
Don't allow offensive matters to re-
main; in cases of emergency where
these can not at once be removed
wiring a heavy cloth, for instance like
Turkish towelings out of cold water,
use it as a cover, placing over this or
binary paper. Such means prevent
the escape of odor or infection.
Don't forget to have a few beans of
coffee handy, for this serves as a de-
odorizer if burnt on Goals or paper.
Bits of charcoal placed around are use
full in absorbing gases and other i'm
purities.
Don't have the temperature of a sick
room much over sixty degrees; seventy
degrees are allowable, but not advisa-
BILE.
Don't permit currents of air to blow
upon the patient. An open fireplace is
an excellent means of ventilation. The
current may be tested by burning a
piece of paper in front.
Don't give the patient a full glass of
water to drink from, unless he is al
lowed all he desires. If he a drain
the glass he will be satisfied; so regu-
late the quantity before handing it to
him. Don't neglect during the day to
attend to necessaries for the night, that
the rest of the patient and the family
may not be disturbed.
Don't ask a convalescent if he would
like this or that to eat or drink, but
pare the delicacies and present them in
a tempting way.
Don't throw coal upon the fire; place
it in brown paper bags and lay them
upon the fire, thus avoiding the noise
which is shocking to the sick and sensi-
tive.
Don't jar the bed by leaning or sit
ting upon it. This is unpleasant to one
i'll and nervous.
Don't let stale flowers remain in a
sick chamber.
Don't be unmindful of yourself if
you are in the responsible position Of
nurse. To do faithful work you must
have proper food and stated hours of
rest.
Don't appear anxious, however great
your anxiety.
Don't forget hat kindness and ten
derness are needful to successful nurs-
ing. Human nature longs to be soothed
and comforted on all occasions when it
is out of tune.-MedicdL Classics.

The Undertaker's Joke.

All undertakerS are not mOroSe and
gloomy, as the professional cast Of their
countenances might indicate. There
are many wags and jokers among the
funeral directors in this vicinity, and
one in particular, who is the most
misanthropic looking of them all, is
one of the most sociable and %ioliest fell
lows that visit Olneyville. Rarely
does he leave without a practical joke
on some enc.
His latest is one that started a rumor
of sudden death. He entered a store
in the business center, where he is a
frequent caller, leaving his somber-look-
ing business wagon in front of the
place and hanging a large loop of Grape
deity to the door knob behind him. He
stayed quite awhile, and, the proprietor
being busy, did not notice that the
door was closed. With the Grape on
the closed door no one tried to enter.
More than half an hour passed with
out a sign of trade, and the storekeeper
in his conversation dweit on the dull
ness of trade. Small boys began to
gather and look in the windows, and
this attracted the attention Of a neigh
Dor, who came in to inquire with evil
dent anxiety about the facts of the
death indicated by the sign of mourn
ing on the door. The joke got out
and cigars and soda are dispensed free
TO those who are in the secret.-Pr0Ui-
delce journal.

But now, as we turn u back on the
Bass, another ruined castle, grander
and far more massive and lofty than
Dirleton, fills the eye. On a lofty Jag
ged cliff that seems to run out into the
sea, and is washed on three sides by its
waters, stands the far-famed castle of
it in "Marmion," if not in the highest
style of poetry, is a wonderfully correct
word-picture.
The origin of T~antallon Castle, the
renowned stronghold of the D~ouglases,
is unknown. For centuries it was the
great citadel of the family on the east
of Scotland. It's situation was so re-
markable, the structure so strong, and
the means of defence so skilful, that it
seemed to defy military attack. In
1479, the barony of North Berwick and
the castle of Tantallon having been
forfeited some time before by the Earl
of Douglas, were given by James Nv,
to the Earl of Angus, the famous BELL
the Cat" of Scottish history, who fig
ures in ''Marmion'' as the lord of the
place In the days of the next earl the
castle stood a siege by King James v,
but the king was unable to take it. In
1859, however, it was taken by the
Covenanters; thereafter Cromwell's
troops besieged it, and after a feeble
defence it was taken again. About a
hundred and fifty years ago the castle
become the property of Sir Hew Dali
rymple, Lord President of the Court of
Session, in whose family it still remains.

PRESIDENT cARNOT AT NOME.
A Glimpse of the Everyday Life of the
French President.

There is no more interesting figure
in Paris today than President Carnot,
saws a letter from France to the Boston
Herald. The gay capital is thronged
with distinguished men from all ma
tions, but the president of the republic
is so forceful a man that he attracts at
tention even among the giants Of other
lands, who, by the way. are as numer-
Gus as the leaves in the famed valley of
Vallombrosa.
President Carnot is not a hard work
er in the sense that hard work is I'M
derstood in America. He does not
bother himself with details. He keeps
a sharp eve on all hat is going on
about him, but he does not consider it
his duty to perform a clerks work. He
would not dream of working as Presi-
dent Cleveland used to do, and as
President Harrison now does. Like
all Frenchmen he is a late riser. Coffee
and rolls are served in his room. At
9 o'clock he appears in his little study,
which leads from the big reception
rooms in the Elysee palace. His priv
ate letters are opened and on his desk.
He pulls his easy chair up to a window,
puffs at a cigarette, and one of his
secretaries informs him of the contents
of his mail. Occasionally he dictates
replies and sometimes he answer let
tiers by his own hand. At 10 o'clock
President Carnot receives members of
the government, leaders and deputies
who have business with him. At IL
o'clock he has deieuner, or breakfast,
either in the palace or he may 90 out to
the house of a friend. Dejeuner is a
popular meal, and Carnot seldom sits
down alone. His wife, children, or n
or two friends usually join him. At
noon he receives such visitors as may
have business with him, and just now
a good many of these people are Ameri-
cans, who have heard of the affability
of the president of La Belle France and
wish to see him and shake hands with
him. To these he is all politeness and
attention. His hammer would do credit
to Chesterfield. He goes about the
oom from one person to another, MAX
ing all feel comfortable and at ease.
Those of his visitors who have private
or public business with him are taken
into an adjoining'room. At 1870 o'clock
such public documents as it is necessary
for the president to see and sign are
brought to him. About $50 or 3
o'clock he is free. Sometimes he goes
for a drive in the Bots de Boulogne or
for a walk, but at present he is devot-
ing most of his time to the great expo
sition. At 6 o'clock he returns to the
palace. He dimes with his family and
usually a friend or two at z o'clock.
He is a GOOD liver and his table is load
ed with dainties. After dinner friends
of the family are received, Sometimes
there is music. Quite often the presi-
dent goes to the opera or theater, and
at 11:30 o'clock he ~retires.
