$4,000. 1t was very heavy and awkward

The Biggest Gold Nugget.

There have been big gold nuggets
found in various countries, but the largest
ever discovered was found in New South
Wales, Australia, on May 10, 1872. It's
weight was $40 pounds; height, 4 feet 0
inches; width, feet 2 inches; average
thickness, 4 inches, aSd it was worth
S148,6O0. 1t was found imbedded in a
thick wall of blue slate, at depth of $50
feet from the surface. An interesting
feature of its history was that the owners
of the mine were living on charity when
they found it.-Jewelers' Circular.

John McC. Martin.

A correspondent Of the Clarion
Ledger, recommending Mr.. Martin as
good man for dolegate-at-largc to
the constitutional convention, says:
ale has long since made for himself
reputation co-extensive with the
state. If patriotism Is to be consider
ed in determining who are TO be dele
gates, claim that Mr.. Martin measures
up to a high standard. If superior
education aud familiarity with the
political history Of the country are
requisites for a delegate, II may be
said Of him, that, like most other rep
rescntatives Of the University Of Vir-
ginia, he does credit to this famous
college. Studlous by nature and by
practice he has made exhaustive and
special study Of all the great political
problems that have and are still arising
under our form Of government
@If experience as legislator is a re-
quisite, Mr.. Martins record shows
two terms Of service in the house of
representatives and one in the senate
Of Mississippi. The journals Of the
two houses win show that some Of the
most important measures before them
from 1873 10 1886 were due to him as
their author.
@If the public business ought only 10
be entrusted to those who have prov
en- themselves successful in their own
affairs, then Mr.. Martin Is a proper
man for delegatc--ior he is one Of
Nississippi's first lawyers in all that
appertains to his profession-com-
manding a large practice, he is a most
skillful practitioner, and a profound
lawyer.
"Mr. Martin Is a man Of great
breadth Of mind, conservative in all
things, welded to no hobby, firm as
rock when convinced that he is right,
capable Of imparting his views 70
others and imprcssing them upon his
hearers"

THE SUEZ CANAL.
A Ditch In the Desert About Ore Hundred
Niles Long.

The Suez canal is about one hundred
mileslong. tits one-twelfth the length
of the Red Sea, into which Il conducts
the waters Of the Mediterranean, and
these two bodies Of water are nearly
of the same level. The canal is well
described as ditch in the desert.
The ditch is about three hundred feet
wide at tho top aud ono hundred and
fifty feet wide at the bottom, and the
water within il is as quiet as a mill
pond. Il is Of a deep sea-grcen, and
the contrast of this color with the bare
yellow sands which line the banks
makes it beautiful. The canal Is so
narrow that ships can pass only at
certain points. The average depth is
about "a feet, and many of the ships
which pass through are more than 20
feet in the water. There is so little
water under the bottoms that there
can be no great speed.
The banks Of this canal are Of dry
and thirsty sand. In some places they
are kept back by pavements Of stone,
in others by a network of twigs like
the jetties Of the Mississippi. 1t cost
nearly $10O,0O0,000 to build the canal.
One Of the great problems in making
the canal was fresh water for the work
men. The work was begun in 1858,
and the ruler of Egypt provided $4,000
labOrers. They were relieved every
three months, but il was necessary to
feed them. It took 1000 water casks,
winch were carried on the backs Of
camels, to supply them with drinking
water, and this was kept mp for five
years. AZ the end ofthat time a fresh
water canal was arranged so that water
was carried from the Nile TO Ismailia,
and there is now pipe which runs
the whole length of the canal, and
which carries fresh water from one
end OF il 10 the other.
The work OF building harbors at
Port Said and Sucz was very expen-
s.ve. The piers at Port Said are made
of artificial stone composed Of desert
sand and cement. The machinery 10
make them was brought from France
and the stones were made to throw
into the sea. Each stone weighed
twenty tons, and it took 5000 of these
massive rocks TO form the bases Of
these piers. On top OF this foundation
the piers were built.-CoITespondeHce

TOO MUCH FOOD.

A physician says: Most pe

slclan Of a former gel
almost the same thin
fourth Of what we eat goe-
tain life, while three-fourths W TO
lmperil it. The foundation OF tho
habit Of over-eating is apt to be laid
IN childhood and youth, since the
stomach then seems able 10 bear al
most anything. There would be
little danger Of eating too much, If
the food we're always plain and sim
pie; IN that case, the natural appe-
tite would be n safe and sufficient
guide. The trouble is that the ma
tural appetite is too often spoiled
by cakes, pies, condiments andbiqh@,
ly seasoned food. Another source
OF dyspepsia is emotional waste Of
nervous force. In the normal con-
dition Of things. it is renewed as
fast as 1t is used. But nature makes
no provision for the immense a.
mount expended by excessive care,
by fuss and worry, by hurry and
drive, by explosions Of passion and
by the undue excitements Of pleas
ure. All these are like a great Leaks
age Of steam. The stomach is the
first and largest sharer in the loss
Another source is oyerwork Of the
brain. "A brain-wOrker generally
neglects physical exercise and cur-
tails sleep. He is like the careless
engineer who, while driving at the
highest speed, fails 10 supply tho
needed wood and water. He can
not help being a dyspeptic. An
other cause, which generally acts
with all the others, is lack Of ac-
tive exhilarating outdoor exercise
and recreation. Such exercise and
recreation are absolutely essential.
1t is vastly easier 70 prevent dys-
pepsia than to cure it.-Er.

No doubt many boys arc ignorant
Of the fact that they can, with very
little trouble and expense, construct
an instrument with which they can
plainly see what is going on under
the water over which they sail their
boats.
The water telescope may be made
of wood, or OF tin, whichever you
prefer. The tin is better, because
il is lighter and more easily handled.
It's manufacture is very simple.
Get a tinsmIth to make you fun
nel-shaped tin horn about 3 feet
long. 1t should be eight or ten
inches in diameter at the bottom,
and broad enough at the top for
both eyes to look into. Into the
bottom put piece Of glass, cut to
fit, and make it perfectly water
tight. Leave the top open. The
inside should be painted black to
prevent the reflection Of the light
upon the surface Of the tin. Around
the outside Of the bottom solder on
several sinkers to offset the buoy
ancy Of the air i'm the water-tight
horn and make it easy to submerge.
If it is not convenient TO get a round
piece of glass, have the large end
made square and use square glass.
That's all there is of it, and when
you sink the instrument down into
the water and put your eyes to the
small end you will be perfectly as
tonished at the plainness with which
you will see all kinds of fish and
water animals swimming around in
state Of nature.
A great many Of you 90 on boat
ing aud picnic parties, and you can
imagine how much such a contriv-
ance would add to your amusement
and pleasure, to say nothing of the
instruction derived from studying
the inhabitants ofthe water at home.
Using the principle of a water
telescope, q Well-kn0wn naturalist
had q boat made with a glass in the
bottom, through which he could see
every movement Of thousands offish
as they swan along through the
clear water. Fishermen in Norway
use the water telescope at their
work with the best results, some
times discovering new kind Of fish
that might otherwise have escaped
their notice.-N. i. World.

How to Drink NIX.

Don't swallow milk fast and in such
big gulps. Sip 1t slowly. Take four
minutes at least to finish that glassful,
and don't take more than good tea
spoonful at one sip.
When milk goes into your stomach
il is instantly curdIed. If you drink a
large quantity at once, it is curdled
into one big mass, on the outside Of
ofwhich only the juices Of the stomach
can work. If you drink it in little
sips, each little sip is curdled up by
itself, and the whole glassful finally
finds itself in a loose lump made up Of
little Jumps, through, around, and A.
mong which the the stomach's juices
may pcrcolate and dissolve the whole
speedily and simultaneously.
Many people who like milk and
know its value as a strength-giver,
think they cannot use il because it
gives them Indigestion. Most Of them
could use Il freely If they would only
drink 1t in the way have described,
or if they would, better still, drink it
hot. Hot milk seems to lose a good
deal of lis density; you would almost
think il had been watcrcd and il also
seems to lose much Of its sweetness,
which is cloying to some appetites.
If the poor only knew and appre-
ciated the value Of milk taken in this
way, am sure there would not be so
much bcer-drinking among them.
There are thousands Of Woodworking
scrubwomcn, washwomen, factory girls,
and even shop girls, in this city,
who drink beer with their meals
because il gives little stimulus 20
their tired bodies, and don't under
stand that It Is only like applying a
whip to a weary horse, instead of Civ
ing him oats. If they only knew, they
would find In this simple draught as.
much real strength as in barrel m
beer.-Nes0 York Tribune

Breath Of Song.

From the minister's organ loft,
Floating down the shadowed nave,
Comes a strain Of music soft,
Falling as a weary wave
Falls upon the beach Of sand,
Murmurous and sweet and bland,
Bearing from the mighty sea
Messages Of melody.
There, alone, the organist
Lets his listless fiugers GO
Lost IN a melodious mist
Der the keyboard, 10 and fro;
There, half dreaming In the gloom,
Sits the weaver at bis loom,
Weaving with the threads Of sound
Music-woof the warp around.
An unconsciously he hides
Strains familiar Ia HE theme
When a master spirit glides
Through the doorway OF his dream;
Mozart, Handel, Chopin, or
Harmony's great coujuror-
Rapt Beethoven-each Is part
OF the dreaming players heart
SO the poet dreams, nor heeds
Who may listen, who may hear;
Following where Fancy leads,
She alone 10 him Is dear;
Omar, Keats, Theocritus,
In his voice may speak to Us
From the realm Of ages dim
These are In the heart OF him
Poets Ia the field Of Time,
Since the world began, have sown
Wide the precious seeds Of rhyme,
Aud 10 Us to-day are blown
Odors from these poem flowers
Seedlings Of the later hours
Blossoming the fields along,
Breathing the sweet breath OF song.

Enchantment.

The sails we see on the ocean
Are as white as white can be;
But never one In the harbor
As white as the sails az sea.
And the clouds that crown the mountain
With purple and golden light
Turn 10 cold gray mist and vapor
Ere ever we reach the height.
The mountains wear crowns Of glory
Only when seen from afar;
And the sails lose all their whiteness
Inside Of the harbor bar.
Stately and fair Is the vessel
That comes not near our beach;
Stately and grand the mountain
Whose height we never may reach.
On Distance, thou dear enchanter.
Sill hold IN thy magic veil
The glory OF far-on mountains,
The CLEAN Of the far-of sail
Hide in thy robes Of splendor,
o mountain cold and grayl
o sail, IN thy snowy whiteness,
Come not into port, pray

American and English LOCOMOTIVES.

~~-1oAA~@4 eA4 LAb AoA AONonAVtAfuos
There win be in Scotland next year
trial between English and American
locomotives. Giving the American
locomotives their just due, there can
be no question but the English loco
motives have larger and more durable
wearing surfaces in proportion to the
loads. Their driving boxes, and shoes
and wedges, while having less work
TO do, have over 80 per cent. more
wearing surface, and throughout the
machine ii is safe to say that greater
attention is paid to durability in the
English than in the American locomo-
tive. On the other hand our engines
arc superior in tho general mountings
OF the boilers aud IN the accessibility
Of the parts for repairs. The English
locomotive costs something over S12,-
900 at a low rate for labor, while our
own scarcely reaches $4,000. 1t Is
doubtful If the additional $1,000 is
warranted by the increased durability
Of the English engine.-Le,cistoa Jour
