The Nicaragua Canal.

In recent issue Of Science there is On in
tensely interesting and most instructive
article on The Evolution of Commerce"
which leads up to the conclusion that the
construction of the Nicaragua canal is a
certainty Of the logic of that evolution.
Beginning with what may be termed the
genesis OF commerce rs embraced in cara
van transportation, the author, in an ar
ray of historical facts, sets forth that the
commerce Of the world has never for any
very long period remained under the con-
troll Of tie same nation. He shows bow
commerce originated in Asia. was carried
TO Africa, thence 10 Europe, and from
Europe t. America, its movement being
ever westward, and contends that III the
United States all the conditions meet tor
it's evolution to its most magnificent pro-
portions. The essence of his article. how
ever. is u the presentation OF figures re-
earding distances and freight rates which
reinforce his historical arguments and
demonstrate that the greater portion of
the commerce of the world would be trIbu-
tary to tae Nicaragua canal. and that that
improvement. by reducing the freight on
goods between the East and West three
fourths or more, would build up tre-
mendouiy the commercial interests OF
both the Atlantic aud the Pacific coasts.

A CARE or FINE LACE.

The love of lace is pretty idolatry
and inherent in the woman OF taste and
refinement. Something about its cob
webby meshes appeals to her heart, aud
she handles her Mechlin and caresses her
Venetian point with genuine affection.
The connoisseur knows full we'll that
fine lace should he washed as seldom as
possible, but when it becomes necessary
it is done by her own hands, or at least
directly under her supervision. a hot
soapsuds with rain water and glycerine
soap is prepared. The laces are rolled
on glass bottle under band of linen,
and are put in the suds to remain twelve
hours. The suds is renewed three times !;
the bottle is plunged into soft, clear
water and Immediately taken out. Each
point of the lace is pinned down under
fine muslin and ironed on the wrong side.
When finished each flower is raised by
means of tiny stick of wood, or,
better still, of ivory. To bleach
laces, expose them to the sunlight in
eoapsuds. The points are then dried on

Looking Out for His Interests.

A New York business man visited
Boston on business trip aud was about
to return when he discovered that there
was one account for 500 which he had
overlooked, says the Boston Herald. He
consulted the landlord of the hotel at
which he was guest, who knew the
debtor. aud thought it n doubtful case :;
but added that, if it was collcctable at
all, he knew of professional collector,
a tall, raw-boned fellow FROM Vermont
, who, by the way, was just then dunning
ledger in another part of the hall, and
who he thought would "worry it out"
of the man il anyone could. He was
called up, introduced to the creditor,
and shown the account.
"Wall, Square, said ne, =" faint much

You might as well try to squecz. lie out

elect debt out of him. But, anyhow,
Square, what'll ye give, sposin' L dew

"Well, sir. the bill is SloO. I'll give
hatf-yes, I'll give you $5O-if you col
lect it,
~. Greed" repliel the collector;
''thars no harm in tryin' anyhow"
Sole time afterward the creditor
CHANGED to be again in Boston, and in
walking up fremont street encountered
the enterprising collector.
"Look ahere, Square," said the COL
Iector, "I had considerable luck with
that bill O. yourn. You see, 1 stuck to
MIN like dog to a rat, but for week
or so 'twasn't no use-not bit. If he
was home he was Short if he wasn't
home, couldn't get no satisfaction.

Bands Of Depredating, swimming, Deer

They were talking at the Palace OF
the wonderful increase of game in Cali
fornia under the game laws, notwith-
standing the reported violations. One
man told that in recent trip, almost
along the railroad from Cazadero to Fort
Ross, he had seen two deer, one grown
bear and cub.
Another told how, only tho other day,
he had seen four deer aud black bear
close to Mill Valley.
"When. 1 was at Olympia year or so
ago during session of tho Legislature"
said another, something came to my
knowledge i'll the shape of game story
SO we'll authenticated that it astonished
me. don't believe overheard a moro
astonishing story either.
"a man named johnson came down
from Island County aud introduced a
bill. He was a member of the Legisla-
ture, aud in his bill he set forth that
there were so many deer swimming back
and forth among the islands there aud
overunning the farms aud orchards as to
almost, aud in some places, totally de-
stroying them. They swan from island
to island, in the night principally.
''On this account he asked suspen-
sion of the game laws in his county. and
that the farmers and all Others be al
lowed to kill them off, else they would
totally ruin all the crops. He was
backed by petitions, signed by hundreds
of farmers, gardeners and orchardists of
his constituency. don't suppose there
was man who did not sign them. Re-
lief was afforded Mr.. Johnson aud he
went home to his people happy, That
was about the only bill he presented
during the session"
Another man recounted how year
ago steamer was blowing its way iu
these water. A huge deer came swim
ming along, going from Que island to
the other. An old Chicago newspaper
nun named Dillingha IL, now private Sec
rotary for United States Senator Squire,
but who had formerly been n cowboy in
Texas, was on board. He stood on deck
and grasped rope, and as the deer and
boat camc close together, he threw his
rope, lassoed the deer, and 1t was at
length drawn on boarl.-San Francisco
