THIRD-PARTY FIASCo.

Whatever may be the result In Tx
as of the third party movement, it is
evident that as a national party it
will cut but a sorry figure in the
present campaign. Coming into the
arena with an immense flourish of
trumpets few months since it Is al
ready groggy, and decidedly shaky
on its pins. In Kansas, where it swept
the board two years ago and gave
to the national congress those nom
descripts, Simpson of the socks and
Peiftsr of the beard, 1t is today I'M
der the feet of republicans and dem
ocrats alike. Its attempts at fusion
have miserably failed, the demo.
Gratis preferring the rule OF republic
cans to the demoralizstious that
follow the election Of third party
officials. In Nebraska, Iowa and the
Dakotas the third party is in no bet
ter condition, so far as carrying these
states are concerned, than In Kansas.
1t is true that il is not as thoroughly
repudiated in these latter states as in
Kansas, but this is doubtless owing
TO the fact that it never attained the
a.cendency there that it did in Kan
sas, and the baneful effects of it's rule
are not so we'll understood. In Cali.
fornia, and on the whole Pacific coast
it is practically without following,
and the votes of the party in those
states will cut no figure in the final
result. In Colorado, alone. is
there any prospect of success
for them among all the western
and northwestern states, and only
here because the complications of the
silver question have turned the
heads of the Centennial State"
politicians and led them to turn to
the third party in a fit of spleen mere
ly to show their disgust with the old
parties on account of their refusal
to father the free silver foolishness.
So conspicuous Is their failure in the
west that they have turned in their
despair to the east and are endeavor-
ing to carry such a state as New
York on a platform of rag money and
political paternalism. In the stats
of Arkansas, where such great things
were prophesied concerning them,
the late election shows that they
were not in it in any sense, their vote
in that state being practically
lost in the final shuttle. In
South Carolina they have virtu-
ally captured the state with their
ideas, but the honors are 10 the name
Of the democratic party which has
swallowed them so effectually that
nothing remains there of the third
party as a distinctive party with can
didates of it's own. In this state it is
exceedingly uncertain that they will
carry 8 single congressional district,
and it is equally improbable that they
will control the state legislature. AS
to their holding the key to the situa-
ton and throwing the presidential
election into the house of representa-
tives, all danger of that kind disap.
pears as the campaign progresses, for
1t is more and more apparent that
Weaver and Field are only figure
heads for one more abortive attempt
to create dominant third party" in
these United States.

Indian Canals aud Reservoirs.

Canals in India are Of two classes; tidal
canals, which are for navigation only,
and the larger perennial canals. which
serve for navigation with irrigation.
Perennial canals are, as rule, provided
with head works and weirs to raise the
water level in the river, and afford a
supply at all seasons. They may he sub.
divided into deltaic and non-deltaic. In
delta:c tracts the bed of the river is little
below the level of tho surrounding coun-
try, and water can be distributed by
gravitation without the intervention of
any great length of leading canal. The
principal examples of this class of canal
in India are the Godavari, Krshna,
Cauvery, Pcnner and Srivaikuntham
systems in the Madras Presidency, and
the Orissa system in Bengal. Consider.
able lengths Of embankments are neces.
sary in con junction with these canals, as
II protection against flooding from the
river.
Non n.deltaic canals tap the river high
up in its course. where the bed is far
below the ground surface, and they re.
quire to be carried considerable distances
before the water can be distributed by
gravitation, OF even by moderate lift.
The best examples of these are the Sir
hind, Chenab and Western Jumua canals
in the Punjab, and the Ganges, the Agra
and Eastern Jumna canals in the North
west Provinces.
An inundation canal consists of a
channel with an open head, in some cases
provided with a regulator, and it irri-

river. Its supply of water diminshes
rapidly as the river falls. so that it some
times happens there is insufficient supply
to bring the irrigated crops to maturity.
The Sutlej, Chcmal, MozafTurgarh and
Indus canals in the Punjab, and the In
dus canals in Sind, are the best examples
of inundation canals
The most important tanks and reser-
volrs are in Madras and Bombay, a,l in

Bssy's Bsth In Central Africa.

These Africans are very hardy race,
and think IL is, no doubt, owing, 70 q
very great extent, TO tho introduction
they receive at Q very early ago to tha
...s.s ...s.iug cuect OF the cold-wafer
bathing. Every morning, as soon as
they leave their huts, tho women file
down to the rivers edge to give their
babies bath. The mother walks knee
deep into the stream; then catching the
hali.awakened infant by the wrist, she
dips him into tho chilly water, and holds
him firmly as he wriggles beneath the
surface. II always happens that several
women are 30 occupied at the same time,
and they naturally engage in converse.

frantic struggles and tugging warn the
dusky parent that he Is not amphibious.
The child is then hauled out, but, before
he has time to recover, his violent chok-
ing aud spluttering are again lost in the
depths of the muddy stream. After
repeating this operation four or five
times, the mother carries the bewildered
little piece OF ebonized humanity back
to the village, and spreads him out on 9
mat in the sun to gradually recover from
the shock. This seems to me to be
rather q rough and uncomfortable means
of providing for the survival of the

blood oozing from wound in his foot

ultimately die of exhaustion. Fortu-

ONE Way OF PRRsRRvINe CHINA.

In a certain primly kept house in an
old fashioned country town it is family
boast that not one bit OF chiua has been
broken, cracked or "nicked" In twenty.
seven years. The last time such dis
aster occurred was when some soldiers
visited the place about the close of the
war. 1t is almost unnecessary to remark
that no male creature Is member OF
this noteworthy household. Three
maiden ladies, who we're young when
the ina-breaking troops came, compose
the family, and this is the way the rite
Of dishwashing is conducted:
All the edibes are removed, aud the
pretty, creamy china with its purple ani
gilt baud is carefully scrapel with a
scrap OF bread. TO scrape with knife
would be held! a crime. Then it is piled
neatly on lo9 table about the size of a
sewing table. Tic cut glass aud old
fashioned siivd IL are also piled there.
Then one the sisters takes her place
on a chair before it aud another hers on
the side. A big bowl of water just hot
enough for the hands to work in com.
fortably and soft cloths are brought.
The articles are washed piece by piece,
by one sister, the silver and glass first,
then the caina. Then the second sister
dries them on soft liuen cloths, and
places them on the ether table. No
mops, no boiling water, no piling of
dishes aad pouring of water over them
is ever allowed. And that is why the
dishes are not cracked or nicked, though
they are worn thin. Besides, tho pro-
cess invests dishwashing with certain
sort Of poetry.--St. Louis Republic.

it must be reduced to powder, and in
this state 1t quickly dissolves to a
smooth consistency when mixed with
olive oil. A thin paste of the prepara-

metal, and when perfectly dry it should
be rubbed off vigorously with flannel
cloth, the finishing polish being given
with the powder, dry, aud subsequent
rubbing with clean flannel cloth or
