Bridging the English Channel.

A bridge has been suggested and a
tube has been suggested, but, as ar as |
can make it out, they, like the tunnel,
would be opposed, because they would
enable people to cross the channel 9TH
erwise than on the surface. l confess
that l think that the tunnel would be
better than either bridge or tube, and I
have not the slightest doubt that not
many years will elapse before there is a
tunnel and that those using 1t will
hardly believe that the scheme had
been seriously opposed. The opposition
is solely based on military considera-
tions, for it is admitted that it would
greatly benefit our commerce. Italy
might with equal reason have opposed
the tunnels under the Alps or Germany
the bridges over the Rhine. really
have no patience with such nonsense,
and, if Sir Edward Watkin is wise, he
will seek to bring home to electors the
militarism of some of their members,
for am certain that the plain common
sense of Englishmen would lead them
to laugh at such Observation-Disclosures

FRENCH BILLS OF FARE.
An Irate Citizen Tells the Editor Why
They Must Go.

I'm plain North American citizen,
ind I've got North American fit of
mad on me!' he announced, as he burst
through the door and stood in the CEN
ter of the room, waving a newspaper
clipping in his hand.
The editor looked up.
"My grievance is this: When the Pres
ident of the United States gives din
ner to his Cabinet | want him to feed
them North American dishes, and |
want the names of those dishes printed
on the bill of fare in plain North Amer
lean words. Is that unreasonable"
mot at ALL"
"Of course not. When the President
of France gives dinner does he write
the bill of fare in tho United States
language? trow not"
The editor also trowed not.
"Here is a list of the dishes fed by
the President to his Secretaries and
other people. On it l see such things
as 'Potdge,' 'Poisson,' 'Pommes DuchesSe,
'Hors G@urre,' 'FiId de 6GI a Ia jar
diaiere,' and others which l can't pro-
nounce. Now, l submit, these pauper
dishes of effete Europe have no business
competing with the infant food industry
of the United States"
The editor submitted, too. He was
helpless.
There ought to be prohihitive
tariff on French words imported to this
country for use on bills of fare, and
thus crowding out our own toothsome
and juicy photographed combinations.
This patriotic movement should be-
gin in the White House. The Presi'
dent of these great and glorious States
my dear sir, when he gives dinner,
should give US North American dishes
that North Americans can understand
something like these: Cabbage soup
Cincinnati style;' Roast Ribs of Beef
Chicago style;' Spare Ribs, Kansas City
style;' 'Scrapple, Philadelphia style
81 do not pretend to exhaust the pc
culiar American dishes, sir, in this briei
enum GRAFTON, but merely indicate the
reform l wish to institute. The fooC
products of this country afford an end
less variety of vegetable and anima
food; and the names by which they arc
known are as appetizing as the articles
themselves. To you, my dear sir, be
longs the duty of promulgating thest
views editorially in your valuable anC
influential sheet. Good morning!"

A Temnle of Sernrnfs.

The small town of Werda, in the king,
dom of Dahomey, is celebrated for its
Temple of Serpents, long building in
which the priests keep upwards of one
thousand serpcnts of all sizes, which
they feed with birds and frogs brought
to them as offerings by the natives.
These serpents. many of them of enor-
nous size, may be seen hanging from
the beams across the ceiling, with their
heads hanging downward and in all
sorts of strange contortions. 1t often
happens that some of these serpents
make their way out of the temple into
the town, and the priests have great
difficulty in ooaxing them back. To kill
a serpent Intentionally is crime pun
ishable by death, and if a European
we're to kill one the authority Of the
King would scarcely suffice to save him.
Many of the monsters in the Serpent
Temple are large enough to enfold a
large OK in their coils-s. Louis Ro-

"A clergyman, in opening sermon
to his people, said to them that the two
great questions before the human mind
are the What and the Why and then
added that the latter Of these questions

mark was very silly one. The first
question is always the What and after
it comes the Why. 1t is more important

the Harpers felt they could pay with
any prospect of profit The Scribners

their magazine, and the book will be

SENATORIAL ELOQUENCE.
How That of To-Day Differs from Perora-
tions of Fifty Years Ago.

pioho VI Ehty hSOs
The eloquence of the grand old Sena-
torial trio, "Clay, Webster and Cal
houn," is famous as tradition, and only
as tradition, for none such would be
tolerated nowadays, when hurried folks
would have no leisure or fancy for
listening to long-winded speeches
stretching over many solid days without
break, barring sudden indispositions"
of the speakers at The hands of Provi-
1ence. Yet these, as many others of the
Senate's galaxy, were undoubtedly men
of greater intellectual caliber than their
successors; no one could say that Mr.
Hoar fills Mr.. Websters seat, that Mr..
Blackburn fills Mr.. Clay's, or that Mr..
Butler fills Mr.. Calhoun's. The style,
form and method have altered for the
better, but the difference in character
and intellect between the Senators of
the past and those of the present leans
not to the side Of the latter. Yet,
though without such eminent quail
ifications of leadership as the olden
Senators had, the Senators of to-
day are very skillful debaters
and diligent workers especially in
the committee rooms, where most of the
legislative business is prepared. Not so
strictly or narrowly partisan as their
predecessors, they appeal in this i'm
proved age to far larger audience, one
that has grown to be very highly en-
lightened and developed, and they may
really be said to be compelled to speak
to and act for popularity" represented
by the universal press, rather than by
the old time clapping spectators who
ruled from the galleries. The leveling
tendencies of this much more highly de-
veloped era afford less opportunity for
the rise of towering "talkers," and so
Congressional leadership is imposed by
the Nation itself, by guiding public
opinion, by the many on broad lines
rather than by the few on narrow lines,
though, truly enough, however de-
veloped may be any age, there must
ever be room, in theory, if not in prac-
tice, for marking men on top, precisely
in the position of its highest exponents.

POINTS OF PROGRESS.

A BILL giving school suffrage to wom-
en- has been favorably reported in the
Iowa House of Representatives
A BILL to incorporate the National
American Woman Suffrage Association
has been referred to the U. S. House
Judiciary Committee without objection.
IT seems that the women of Italy are
following in the lead Of the women of
America and England. A society ''for
mutual assistance among women in
Rome" has recently been started. 1t is
named Adelaide Carroll, after the pa
triotic woman who made such great
sacrifices for the independence of her
beloved Italy.
THE advocates Of woman suffrage are
greatly pleased with the union of the old
and disagreeing organizations in an as
sociation where all can work together
in harmony. Many obstacles in the way
of effective work have been removed,
and many younger women have been en-
listed, whose influence is expected to
disarm much OF the opposition to the re-
form.-Boston Traveller.
A WoMAN's Directory is soon to be
published in Chicago giving the names
and addresses of 80, 200 Chicago women
who belong to various religious, benevo-
lent and political organizations. The
book was compiled for the purpose of
estimating the number of women in
Chicago who were interested in work
not purely personal and to encourage
them to greater unity of effort.

the House Judiciary Committee without
objection.
AT THE annual school meetings held
in New Jersey a few days ago, women
voted without question or hindrance.
The meeting at Vineland was one of the
most interesting ever held there, the
woman turning out to vote in large num-
bers. Four new members of the board
of education we're elected, making a
board of six, composed of three men and
three women. In Orange and other
towns, women voters were welcomed as
though their presence and votes were q
matter of course.
WOMAN suffrage gained something in
e;dentally last year in city of Kansas.
One of the candidates for mayor was
rich, and rather society man. His
wife and his wife's friends. none ol
whom had ever cared to exercise the
right of Kansas women to vote at mu
nicipal elections, went out 10 vote fol
him. There was an unusual throng a
the polls, and that candidate went in
with large majority. These ladies
say they will never vote again, but mos
, OF them will continue to do so. 1t wa

them back; and when a prejudice i
! once broken down it has nothing where

TONS OF NEWSPAPERS.
Journals of tho Uaited Kingdom on File
at the British Museum.


Since October, 1888, an important work
In connection with the cataloguing and
rearranging of the files of the newspa-
pers of the United Kingdom has been
going on at the British Museum. The
work has now been brought down to
1878. Eve,y volume has been carefully
examined, and all the important points
in regard to it indicated in the cata-
logue. Much labor has been spent in
sizing and arranging the papers year by
year. By this means considerable
amount Of press-room has been gained.
The papers are arranged according to
date. Every volume is numbered out
side. Each year has distinct set of
numbers, except in the case of the ear
lier dates, where the number of volumes
in year is so small as to make this un-
necessary. The year 1881 is represented
by only Al volumes, each volume con-
tanning the files of from two to five
newspapers, while 1910 has SO volumes,
1850 has 1870 volumes, 1860 has 25S vol
umes and 1870 has 1877 volumes; while
for 1887 there are no fewer than 372 vol
umes; 1S47 takes up presses occupying
space of SO square feet, while 1887 re-
quires 16 presses and occupies 367 square
feet. There are more than 1000 dis
tinct papers for 1887, while for 1S47 the
number did not exceed 300.
The approximate weight of English,
Scotch and Irish papers in the presses at
the museum is 45o tons. The, files for
thirteen years have still to be gone
through before the work is complete.
AS soon as this is done list of the new
papers, with their respective numbers,
will be placed in the reading-room, and
1t will then be as easy to obtain the file
of a newspaper of hundred years age
as itnow is to procure any book in the
reading-room. Itmay be explained that
all the London newspapers since 1906
are kept quite distinct from the pro
vincial journals. They are contained ir
the west wing, where the same plan o.
sizing, numbering and cataloguing ha:
been carried out as has been adopted in
connection with the provincial papers
The London daily papers, however, are
arranged in sets on the ground floor
and are obtainable at ce.-Manches
