THE 500 CANAL.
Manager Gordon Thinks Every
thing Is Right Now.

thing Is Right Now.
That the recent appropriations will
keep the 500 canal in good working
order is the opinion of Manager John
Gordon, of the Northern Steamship
company, who was in the city yester-
day. Said he:
1.-The break, in reality, was not very
serious one, as it was repaired before
any gread delay had been occasioned;
but we are all very glad that it hap
pened when it did, as congress was in
session, and we were in position to
impress it with the Importance Of pro-
viding safeguards and keeping up the
appropriation SO that the work should
not be hindered. Such breaks. however
possible, are not probable, as it is the
first time in the thirty years history of
the canal that any such thing has oc-
Cured.
1.-THE tonnage at the head of the lake
is carrying and will carry more freight
than the lines running out of Chicago.
Down there the boats have to hunt car
goes and often go without any. This is
largely due to the failure of the corn
crop. We are in a position to fully take
care of the wheat movement"

arrest yesterday. In reality the man is
not much to blame, as it was under

ended in this horrible crime.

The Pastors Victory.

Many years ago, when drinking habits
were more prevalent than now, a Con-
gregational minister in York county
preached very strong temperance SER
mon that made sensation in the parish.
Some of the leading members of the con-
gregation felt insulted. They got up
and left the house during the sermon,
and then sent letter demanding an
apology or the preachers resignation.
The next Sunday the pastor announced
from the pulpit that he would comply
with the gentlemen's request in the even
ing. Of course, everybody who could go
to the church that evening was there,
the disafected ones with smiles on their
faces at the thought Of how they had
riumphed over the minister. The wor-
thy man assembled the pulpit, went
through the preliminary exercises, and
then announced his text: "And being
convicted by their own consciences they
went out one by one" The sermon
preached from that text was sumner,
but nothing more was said about an
apology, and the minister did not resign.

THE SUMS HEAT.
Ia the Great Orb Showing any Sislois
Signs of Decay?

Is the Great Orb Showing any 'isiois
Signs of Decay?
We want to know whether the sun Is
showing any symptoms of decay. are
the DAYS as warm and bright as they
were ten years ago. one hundred years
aooo We can find no evidence of any
change since the beginning OF autnen'
tic records. If the suns heat had per
ceptiblv changed within the last two
thousand years we should expect to find
corresponding changes in the distribu-
ton of plants and animals, but nosucn
changes have been detected.
There is no reason to think that the
climate of ancient Greece or of ancient
Rome was appreciably different from
the climates of the Greece and the Rome
that we know at this day. The vine and
olive grow now where they grew two
thousand years ago. We must not, how
ever. Law too much stress on this argu-
ment. for the effects of slight changes
in the suns heat may have been neu-
tralized by corresponding adaptations in
the pliable organisms of cultivated
plants.
All we can certainly conclude is that
no marked change has taken place IN
the heat of the sun during historical
time. But when we come to look back
into vastly earlier ages we find the most
copious evidence that the earth has UNI
dergone great changes in climate. &C.
ological records can on this question
hardly be misinterpreted. Yet it is Curl
GUS to note that these changes are hard
ly such as could arise from the gradual
exhaustion of the suns radiation. No
doubt in very early times we have evil
dence that the earth's climate must have
been much warmer than at present. We
had the great carboniferous epoch, when
the temperature must almost have been
tropical in arctic latitude. Yet 1T is hard
lv possible to cite this as evidence that
the sun was then much more powerful,
for we are Immediately reminded of the
glacial epoch when our temperate zones
were incaSed in sheets Of solid ice, as
northern Greenland is at present. If we
suppose the sun to have been hotter
than it is at present to account for the
vegetation which produced coal then we
ought to assume the sun to be colder
than it is now to account for the glacial
epoch. 1t is not reasonable to attribute
such phenomena to such oscillations in
the radiation from the sun. The glacial
epochs prove that we can not appeal to
geology in aid of the doctrine thata secu-
lar cooling of the sun is now in prog
ress.
The geological variations of climate
may have been caused by changes in the
earth itself, by changes in the position
of its axis, by changes in it's actual or
bit; but, however they have been caus.
ed, they hardly tell US much with re-
gard to the previous history of the SUM-.
The heat of the sun has lasted for count
less ages, yet we can not credit the sun
with the power of actually creating
heat We must apply even to the ma
jestic mass of the sun the same laws
which we have found by our expert
ments on earth. We must ask: Whence
comes the heat sufficient to supply this
tremendous outgoing?-Story of the

EFFECTIVE oRAroRY.

How . Young Lawyer Defended an In
jured Woman and Made Reputation.
Jonathan III. Pugh was pale faced
young lawyer. Day after day he sat
waiting for clients, but none came. The
first term of court appeared and his name
had not appeared on the docket. At that
time my father was clerk of the circuit
court. One day there came to him a
poor, sad woman, who poured into his ear
a pitiful tale of woe. A brother-in-law
had robbed her of all the property left
her by her dead husband, had oppressed
and abused her, and was now seeking to
take from her care her only child, a little
girl years old. My father became
deeply interested in the woman and
promised to help her. He at once sent
for Pugh. The young lawyer came and
took charge Of her case.
The poor woman's brother-in-law was
rich, and he employed the best of coun-
sci, and made every preparation in his
power to defeat her in court and subject
her to still greater oppression. He even
circulated the most slanderous stories
against her, and succeeded in totally de-
stroying her good reputation.
This story Hndled the soul of Pugh,
and he went to work with fierce deter
mination to unmask the villain. The
day for the trial arrived. The neighbor-
hood was thoroughly aroused, and the
old court room was crowded with specta-
tors. The sad and dreamy young lawyer
became another mana bold and daunt-
less knight fighting for outraged woman
hood. He arose to speak. The silence
was painful. With a master hand he
laid before court and jury the work of
the poor woman's oppressor. The per-
iured witnesses withered beneath his
fiery denunciation. Judge, jurors and
spectators bent forward to listen.
AS he told of the woman's wrongs tears
filed the eyes of all. Then he turned
from the weeping woman to the author
of her SORROWS. In terrible language he
expressed the villainy of the man. Sud
denly he faced the victim of his scorn,
and pointing his quivering finger at him
exclaimed: "You have stolen from this
poor woman all her property. Not only
this; you have robbed her not only of her
last dollar, but of what is more precious
than gold-her good name. And now,
with savage hands, you try to tear from
her arms her darling child. In the aw-
full hereafter you should not even be al
lowed the miserable comfort of herding
with the common damned, but in some
lower, deeper hell be compelled, singly
and alone, to howl out an eternity of
Woe"
AS Pugh reached this climax it fell
like bolt of thunder on the ears of the
guilty man. and he rushed headlong from
the court room. Pugh's reputation was
made. He was flooded with clients and
was at once one of the busiest lawyers in
town.-IllinOis State Journal.

Some Interesting Statistics.

1t is said that each year Is people out
every 1000 marry. Of each 1000 men
who marry 861 are bachelors and 139
widowers, while of each 1000 women
only SO have been married before and
002 are spinsters Twelve marriages out
of every 100 are second marriages. The
average age at which men marry is
about 81, while the average at which
women marry is about 25 years. Out of
every 1000 persons 6O2 are unmarried,
S45 are married and So widowed Over
one-half of all the women between 10
and 45 are unmarried In all countries
about B per cent of marriages prove
barren. Among the English nobility 10
per cent. are childless. Married women
live two years longer than single ones,
although in 70 dies in childbirth. If
the mother dies first the father survives
81 years, but if the father dies first the
survival of the mother is III years as an
average. Two thousand four hundred
and forty-one births occur in England
daily, about 33 for each 1000 inhab-
itants. February is the month in which
the greatest number of births occur
June the month in which occur the few
est. The average number of births for
each marriage is ABB. In every 1000
births 10 are twins.-Pal Mall Gazette.
Shoes That Must Not Be Worn.
If a man going on board yacht
wishes to generate in his host an incli-
nation to shave at him" with the first
cudgel. that comes to hand let him wear
shoes in which there are rough nails. A
non-yachting writer has expressed the
opinion that the chief occupation of a
yachts crew is that of holystoning decks.
Certain it is that on most pleasure craft
they show deal of labor and are the
especial pride of the owners. The right
shoes to wear are low ones of canvas or
soft leather, with soles of rubber or felt.
Wet decks are almost to be compared
with banana peels, and without rubber
or felt soles one is sure to be uncomfort-
able and more or less sore or bruised.

clothes may be substituted for the con-
ventional navy blue.-New York Trib-
