! Il Is apparent that an extraordinary
effort is going to be made during this con-
gress by the promoters Of the Nicaragua
canal TO get the canal company's bonds
/ guaranteed By the United States govern
ment. The question OF guaranteeing the
bonds is already being discussed by con-
! gressmen, and the fact has been developed
/ that there are a good many senators and
representatives in favor Of lending the gov
ernments credit to the company.
It is asserted by Admiral Ammen. who is
at the head Of the enterprise, that II the
bonds are guaranteed by the government
the canal can be built for about one-half
the amount it would otherwise cost, and
that consequently the canal tolls would be
very much less. AS this country will be a
large patron of the canal the question Of
tolls is well worth considering.
One thing that is greatly in favor Of the
success of the effort to get the desired
guarantee is the fact that party lines are
not drawn with regard to il. Those con-
gressmen who favor it include both demo-
Gratis and republicans. The most sonspicu-
Gus democrat who is favoring the guarantee
is Senator Morgan, and the most conspicu-
Gus republican is Senator Sherman. In the
last congress Senator Sherman made a
strong report in favor of guarantee.
1t is understood that if this country re-
fuses TO guarantee the bonds the canal COM
pany will ask congress to pass a resolution
to the effect that this country has no OBJ
jeotion to Great Britain guaran teeing the
bonds. IL is pretty certain that congress
would not pass such q resolution as that.
The country that guarantees the bonds
will control the canal, and this country
would not consent to anything looking to
Great Britain's control of it. And yet ii
would seem as if this country ought not to
object to Great Britain helping the canal
enterprise if 1t does not think it advisable
to do SO itself.
With an abundance of money IL Is be-
lieved thattbe canal can be constructed In
about three years. That appears to be
very short time to accom- plish 30 great a
work. Probably six years would be as soon
as the canal could be completed, however
much money the canal company might
have at its command.
The canal would give this country an Inn
mense advantage in trade with some of the
South American countries, and for that
reason it is believed that some Of the
European countries do not regard the canal
with favor. Their opposition. however,
would not amount to much II this country
should decide to lend the canal enterprise
helping hand. The question of guaranteeing
she bonds will attract wide attention when
the discussion of it is begun in congress.

Mockinrhird Inkaa

No one who has studied the wsys OF birds can
doubt that many Of them have a strong sense of
humor, says the YOUTHS Companion. They
play Jokes on each other perhaps even on US,
and they see the point" In an Astonishing way.
TIE cat bird is a notable example of the feath-
cred Joker and the mockingbird is little. II any,
behind him in this regard
a drOll exhibition Of his love OF fun was once
given BY mocklngbird confined in a cage that
was separated only by a network partition from
large family of cRnaries- When first placed
there he seemed 20 DO struck dumb By his volu-

Several days he remained silent taking notes.

Tar as Is known. any preliminary rehearsal,
burst out into the canary song ina loud, ringing
speeches. for a time.
After this it was his favorite amusement to
keep quiet until half of the 200 canaries were
singing at the top of their voices and then
with their own trills and Quavers, so loudly de-
HFered as completely 10 eclipse them and COM

jerking his wings to show his relish of the con

directly over pussy. leaning far over, jerking

clare war upon the hereditary enemy of his
race, even in infancy, very drol, and his

joke.
On one occasion in the south. when some-
thing had attracted TO a certain spot beyond
the fence a crowd of the enormous turkey

mocking-bird CHANGED to notice the unusual
gathering. His singing ceased he few across

A Persian Tale.

There was once prince who, having been
much displeased with one of his MOBILES, deter
mined to punish him. The prince commanded
that he should be shut up in a high tower. Into
this tower there was only one entrance, which
was walled up immediately after the nobleman
had been placed there. Thus all hope of escape
seemed to be cut off, and the unhappy man was
left to perish.
Inside the tower was long, winding stair
case, by which the prisoner reached the TOP
While looking down from there he observed his
wife, who had come indulging a faint hope
that she might be able by some means or other
to aid her husband in escaping from his place
of confinement
On inquiring il she could be of any service to
him, he replied: 20, yes. Go and procure a
b ack beetle, little grease, skein OF silk, a
ball Of Irvine aud long rope"
The wife hastened to obtain what her husband
asked for, wondering, no doubt, at the strange
ness Of his request. She soon returned. furn-
ished with the things. Her husband then
directed her to put the grease on the beetles
head. to fasten the silk on his hind leg the Irvine
to the silk, and then tbs rope to the Irvine, and
then to place the beetle on the wall of the
tower
On being set at liberty on the wall the beetle,
smelling the grease on its head and not being
able to discover where it was crept I'D the
tower in search Of it until 1t arrived at the top.
| The nobleman caught it, and, taking the silk
from its hind leg, carefully drew it up When
he came to the end of the silk he found the
Irvine. and next he came to the rope. FASTENING
| this to a crook, he let himself down, and thus
male his escape.

Tho Kiss IN tho Church.

IL is probable that the history Of the kiss
began on the sixth day Of the Creation, and
its literature as soon as primeval man began
to record his thoughts and actions. The
sweet salutation, for all known to the con-
trary. was the predecessor Of even speech
itself 1t is not written that Adam spoke to
Eve when he walked from that nap which
cost him a rib and gave the world its
brightest jewel, but the most natural thing
in the then brand new world would be for
him TO have seen, been conquered and i'm
mediately to have implanted kiss squarely
and heartily on those rich lips A perfect
man. of divine mold; a perfect woman, a
goddess in face and figure-certainly he
kissed her, or he was not a man.
So much for the beginning of the kiss
where it will end heaven only knows. Dur
ing the successive chapters of its history it
has run the whole gamut Of the human pas
sions, from purest and blessed love to most
despicable deceit. leading to destruction Of
body and soul.
Again, heaven knows where it will end,
for kissing has entered theology as being en-
Joined in one Of the tenets OF peculiar
faith recently evolved from the fertile
brain OF an Illinois minister named
| Morrow, who feels that "a part of
his mission on earth is to cheer the weary
IN spirit-or the vigorous, it doesn't seem to
| matter muoh-with a hearty, resembling
holy kiss" This dispenser of spiritual
comfort by labial contact is no respecter of
persons, if they only be women, and as

tion of q marriage engagements that of the
Rev. Mr.. Dill. of Sterling. N. Y, who forsook
his pulpit during service to kiss his affianced
bride in the aisle of the church, right be-
fore the assembled multitude. And every
body giggled and smirked. That led the
young lady to conclude she would stop at
the af1anced stage of the proceedings and
not go on to bridehood. The upshot OF the
whole affair was that people got to talking
and investigating and surmising. until It
was concluded that the Rev. Mr.. Dill was
not nice and exemplary young man; that
he sometimes told fbs, and Hirted with
other girls whenever the other girls would
let him. Now, everybody knows that more
or less kissing is necessary

going on, to the delectation of countless )

| The verdict will be looked to as a kind of
precedent in social ethics and personal

cided an insuperable advantage over the

In the MORNING NEWS yesterday contained
splendid material for yellow-bsok novel,
or one OF the more pretentious stories Of the
Crawford kind. A train twice "held up
during one run, once by a lyncbing party

base upon which a vivid imagination may
build to be thrown away, and the chances
are that some compiler Of ford words will
avail himself Of the opportunity.

Recruiting the National ARMY.


Gen. John P Hawkins. of the United
States army. stationed in California. has
published a circular letter on recruiting the
standing army. and giving his views, the
fruit OF experience, on the betterment Of
the service. Gen. Hawkins comedies with
eI-Secretary OF War Proctor in regard to
reducing the period Of enlistment for serv-
ice TO two years, making the maximum
limit Of age so years and allowing no re-
enlistment. except that be would make the
age limit % years, with an optional re en-
listment Of two years. This, he says, would
make military service an incident Of citi-
zenship ard not an avocation for life, and
the training received by young men would
make them better citizens than if they had
never known such training.
Gen. Hawkins plan, or rather the idea
upon which he would base a plan. contem-
plates the establishment Of recruiting sta
tions in each Of the several states, with the
understanding that the men enlisted are not
| to be removed from the state in which they
enlist during their term OF service, except
in time of hostilitIes or for some temporary
service. The short period and this proviso
would make the service popular in the
rural districts, he thinks; would I'm prove
the service by a constant infusion Of new
and enthusiastic young blood, and would
be Of benefit in a great degree TO the men In
teaching them discipline, promptness of
action and how TO take care Of themselves
generally.
Under modification of the general idea
outlined Gen. Hawkins thinks there is no
good reason why the garrison at Fort Nc
Pherson, near Atlanta, should not be able
to obtain all the soldiers required there from
the population Of Georgia and the states
adjoining. The men," he says, "while
serving at the post would not feel cut off
from their people, who are near by, and an
occasional furlough would keep them in
touch with home surroundings and home
sympathies, and at the end of their enlist
ment they would go back to their people all
the better for having had a tour Of service
in the army"
There is no suggestion Of compulsory en-
listment. of course, with the cutting down
of the time and age limit Of service, but it
Is rather thought to make the service at
tractive to young men who would like the
adventure and appreciate the experience.
Gen. Hawkins has made suggestion to
which he has devoted much careful thought,
and it contains so much of such apparent
practicability that the authorities may con-
slider it advisable to formulate plan con-
tanning the essential features OF IL.
Among other things the suggested method
OF enlistment would certainly tend to Ameri-
canize the army by having each section Of
the country recognized therein, without dis
tinction of north or south, east or west.

The indifference and willing
