second days session of the trans Mis-
stppi congress. a series of resolutions was
introduced and referred They favor
the construction of the Nicaragua canal:
recommends the government to issue a
sufficient amount of legal tender to re-
store the equilibrium between money and
over productions. That New Mexico
Arizona aud Utah be admitted as states !:

gress the enactment of such measures as

Governor Prince, of New Mexico. pre-
sided large number of resolutions on
great variety of subjects were introduced
by different delegates and referred to com
mlttees. Governor Hubbard, of Texas
and others delivered addresses on the
subjects of waterways and needed i'm
provements. Hon. Warner Miller. of New
York, president Of the Nicaragua Canal
company, delivered an interesting address
on the progress of the canal. He dwell ON
its Importance and said the commerce of
the world demands its construction. The
only question OF Importance now is whether
1t should be done by American capital
under American auspices and control. or
whether it should be compelled to seek
European capital for its completion. for
with the example of the Suez caual. there
is no doubt private enterprise will come
forward and carry the undertaking tn n
successful conclusion.
Mil or, speaking of the benefits to arise
from the canal, said its construction might
easily double the output Of the Pacific COAST
states in agricultural products and find q
ready and profitable market for them in
Europe, because the cost of transporta-
ton would be reduced by a rednctjon
OF distance. Furthermore, it has been
estimated the increased value of the tim

How to Get the Most Good Out OF Books.
You should treat a book as you
would a person with whom you are
talking for information; that is, ques-
ton it, read it over and turn back
and try to get at the meaning; if the
book itself does not answer the ques-
tiOnS you raise, 60 to some other book,
ask a dictionary or encyclopedia for
an explanation. And if the book
treated in this way does not teach you
anything or does not inspire you, it is
of no more service to you than the
conversation of a dull, ignorant per-
son. just used the word inspire.
You do not read all books for facts or
for information merely but to be in
spired, to have your thoughts lifted
up to noble ideas, to have your SYM
Dathies touched, your ambition awak-
ened to do some worthy or great
thing, to become man or woman
of character and consideration in the
world. You read the story of a fine
action or heroic characteristic
death of Socrates, or the voyage OF
Columbus or the sacrifice Of Nathan
Hale, or such poem as ''The Lady Of
the Lake"-not for information only,
but to create in you higher ideal in
life, and to give you sympathy with
your fellows and with noble purposes.
You cannot begin too young to have
these ideals and these purposes, and
therefore the best literature in all
world is the best for you to begin
with. And you will find it the most
interesting. CHARLES Dudley Warner,
in ST. Nicholas.

THE BRAVE JACK TAR.
Risking His Life to Bury the Corpse


Risking His Life to Bury the Corpse of
an Enemy.
After the repulse of one of the furi-
Gus assaults at Acre, says writer in
Good Words, the dead body of a
French officer was left lying in a
prominent position between the walls
and the besiegers' trenches. The
body lay there for day or two and
attracted much attention. 1t was
spoken about on board the Tigre,
which lay off Acre, and the matter
made an impression difficult to ac-
count for on the simple superstitious
mind of Kelly. Only the very smart
est men had been sent ashore to
assist in the defense, and Kelly was
not among these. But one day he
begged for and obtained leave to 90
on shore. AS soon as he entered the
town he procured a shovel, pickax,
and coil of rope, walked straight to
the ramparts, and, declining all offers
of assistance, lowered himself from an
embrasure. The firing at the moment
was fast and furious. AS Kelly set
foot upon the ground and, shoulder
ing his tools, walked deliberately
toward the dead body dozen French
muskets were pointed at him. One
of the enemy's commanders, however,
diyining the sailors intentions, or
dered his men to shoulder arms. In
an instant both sides, as if by some
common impulse, ceased firing, and
Kelly, the object of breathless atten-
tion from friend and foe, stopped be-
side the Frenchman's corpse. He
then coolly and calmly dug a grave,
put the officer into it, covered him
up, and taking from his pocket a
small piece Of board and a bit of chalk
wrote on the board Here you lie, old
Crop" and put at the head of the
grave this rough-and-ready memorial:
"Old Crop" was no doubt honest Kelly's
rendering of "Crapaud," the French
for a frog, and nickname with the
sailors for all "mounseers. This
pious duty done, he shouldered his
implements again, walked back as
deliberately as he had come, and dis
appeared within the embrasure. The
firing recommended and men thirsted
once more for another's blood. Sir
Sidney Smith, the very man to delight
in such an adventure, sent for Kelly
and questioned him about it. The
supplemented tar could only wonder
that others could find anything to
wonder at in his exploit. "You were
alone, were you not?" said Sir Sidney.
mo, [ was not alone" answered
Kelly. II was told you were," pro-
tested the commodore. mo, I wasn't
alone" was the reply; God was with
me-"

this the lesson is unsuitable at this peri

the purpose is understood, may be excer-
