and the constant improvements in
both construction of cable and Of
paying out machinery as well as
the great experience gained, render
comparatively easy of solution pro-
blems which, while unsolved thirty
years ago, threatened to forbid for
indefinite period any probability
of crossing wide oceans at their
greatest depths. Certainly, as re-
CARDS the space which We hope to
see spanned, thorough and ex-
haustive survey is necessary before
a suitable cable can even be de.
signed. But we believe that in the
present stage of development of the
science of submarine engineering
that where there is will there is q
way. In financial point of view
it is plain that so expensive an un-
dertaking cannot support itself, but
must be heavily subsidized. AS
long as these islands are the west
ward terminus the earnings will
bear but small proportion to the
outgolngs, but when by way of FIJI
or Samoa connection IS made with
Australasia, and so with the whole
world system, the business will be
very considerable, and will increase
rapidly with the opening OF the
Nicaragua canal.
The south or southwestern por-
ton of the project is more difficult
than that hence to the coast, as
several soundings of over 5000
fathoms have been struck in the
South Pacific by II. B. NJ. ships
Challenger and Egeria, nor Is il
known yet whether these great
depths are avoidable and 1t must
require much time and money tC
ascertain this.
On the other hand the induce
ment is very great. Not long age
both sytems connecting Australia
with Eastern lines were disabled
at the same time, indeed the cables
between Port Darwin and Java arr
slngularly liable to accident
Cables hence to Japan and Hong
kong are within the bounds of pos
sibility, but let us hope for ant
assist by every means in cur powe
the commencement of the first link
regarding the feasibility of laying
which there can be no doubt.

The HoneYmoon.

A reader asks, tsHow did the name honeymoon come to be applied to the first month after marriage?'
 Two or three explanations have been offered of this singular expression, but the most reasonable and satisfactory is that suggested by work on German antiquities. In this it is stated that from very early times it was the prac- tice among the Germans to drink mead and honey at wedding festivities, which commonly continued for thirty days, whence the first month spent together by the married couple came to be called the honey month.
 The same authority regards the we'd ding tour as a relic of the times when men stole their wives and were obliged for a season to hide themselves from the wrath of offended relatives of the bride. It is said that in some parts of Tartary and India at the present day, although women are no longer stolen for wives, the forms of capture are kept up, and for several weeks the newly welded pair either remain in seclusion or absent themselves from the tribe to which they belong.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat

A Profitable Beard.

A guard on the Great Northern rail way had been blessed with a magnificent adornment to his face in the shape of a long and patriarchal looking beard. Il proved source of considerable income for he used it to great advantage. He ushered passengers-6rstc class preferred into their carriages, and bowed low as he handed them their wraps.
 This wealth of hair was so impressive that "tips" of threepenny pieces and six. pences were unheard of. Shillings, two shilling pieces and even half crowns were alone bestowed upon the guard with the patriarchal beard.
 He made as much as three or four pounds week. But alas! in an un- guarded moment he shaved. With the disappearance of his beard his tips went also. They scarcely amounted to ten shillings week. He is now busily en, gagged in 8 quick promotion of new growth.-London Tit-B Bits.

INFANCY TO OLD AaE.-Nothing is more remarkable than the fact that medicine which is powerful enough to cure the most horrible form of blood poisoning can be given with impunity to little child that is ailing; and yet this is the record of Swift's Specific (S. s. s. It is a germ destroyer, purifier, great rem- edial agent it is powerful, and yet harm less; it is a medicine that contains no mineral poisons; all it's results are be- neficent; it is compounded from natures own laboratory, and works on natures lines to cure disease; it restores, revives and reinvigorates the system; it may be used as tonic by the most delicate wo- man; it may be given to build up the constitution of little child, or it may be employed to restore to health the un- happy victim of blood poisoning. In each case it will work wonderful results.

 But An Sam, whose intoxication had broken out in full acQuiesceuee with these proceedings, now insisted on mak- ing 8 midnight tour of all the saloons in camp, and treating everybody to the deathly whisky vended by them, to which the crowd-who never objected to the driving of this sort of nails in their own coffins-assented, and the re- suit of it was (Ah Sam spending his money very freely that when daylight peeped over the eastern hills the Bella Union saloon was still in full blast, and while the justice of the peace was win ming Spoke's thirty hard earned dollars in one corner, and the two Virginians still kept the "Arkansas Traveller" going on their violins in another, Stephen Scott (afterward elected to congress was weep ing profusely over the bar, and on being interrogated as to the cause of his sad ness by General Wyatt, ex-member of the state senate, Scott replied that he could never hear played the air of Home, Sweet Home" without shedding tears. .~.@ 4-..u ..--

 An Sam returned to the attorney, ap- parently deeming that some help might be obtained in that quarter; but Spoke intimated that he could no longer assist him, since it was every mans special and particular mission to keep his own wife after being married; although he added, for An Sam's comfort, that this was not such an easy matter for the Americans themselves. especially in Cal ifornia- s. .a.,..-t..-
 Upon this An Sam apparently deter mined to be satisfied with his brief but turbulent career in matrimony, and be- taking himself again to Swett's Bar cooked in such villainous fashion and desperate vigor, finding thereby balm for an aching heart, that in twelve month several stalwart miners gave up their ghosts through indigestion, and the little graveyard on the red hill thereby lost forever its distinctive char acter of affording a final resting place only to those who had died violent deaths. i..
