NICARAGUA CANAL.
Why the United States Should Aid tie
ENTERPRISE

A government that has given far more
CHAN $1ooOOO,OOO to build ns-coni-
mental railroads, says Senator J. T. MGR
gan in the North American. Review,
should not, fear to invest money, on ali
assured basis or profit, in order to give
some of the advantages of fair COM
petition in. transportation charges to
the great body Of industrial classes. I'M
pleasant scandals did attened the use of
the money raised on the credit of the
government, in the building of one of
these railroads, but corruption was
made possible by the absence Of govern
mental control in the Board of Directors.
A repetition of that wrong has becme
impossible. Tive of these railroads now
0Wne us, more than 500, 100000, and
they can and must pay the debt. That
money, when it falls into the Treasury.
will more than, replace all that we will
expend in building the Nicaragua Canal,
if we should sink every dollar of it.
It has cone great work for the people
of America and of the World-a work
for WHICH we would not be willing 20
take ANY conceivable sam of money.
Those railroads are our pride, as, a pee-
pie. They are essential parts of ouF
civilization and indispensable factors in
our government; but they are becoming
too much a burden upon our internal
and external commerce. Waser trans
portatiOn through the Isthmus. of Darien
is to be the efficient and just competitor
for trans-centinental traffic, and will
add Immensely to their income, at lever
rates, of transportation, by the rapid in
crease of population on The Pacific slope.
AS we have aided great corporations by
building railroads for thenA let Us now
aid the people by building a canal that
viii make freights cheaper and will en-
rich the common treasury. If we will
we can use the money due us from tho
railroads to build the canal.

10 SAVE THE EIES.
Some Hints Which May Be of Priceless
Value to Many Persons.

Avoid sudden changes from dark to
brilliant light.
Avoid the use of stimulants and drugs
which effect the nervous system.
Avoid reading when lying down or
when mentally and physically exhaust
ed.
When the eyes feel tired, rest them
by looking at objects ut Il long distance.
Pay special attention to the hygiene
of the body, for that which tends TO
promote the general health acts bene1i-
cially upon the eye.
Up to 40 years Of age battle the eyes
twice daily with cold water.
Do not depend on your own Judgment
in selecting Spectacles.
Old persons should avoid reading
much by artificial light, be guarded as
to, diet, and avoid sitting up late at
night.
After SO, battle the eyes morning and
evening with water SO hot that you
wonder how you stand it; follow this
with cold water, that will make them
glow with warmth.
Do not give up Ill despair when you
informed thai IL cataract Is developing;

ELECTRICITY IN BALLOONS.
Invention of a San Francisco Man for
Lighting Large Cities.

A balloon with electric lights attached
to it for lighting cities is the latest idea
Of turning the light of lights" a
practical use. This idea may seem very
/ visionary, but G. A. Smith of 112 Grove
street, one of San Francisco's inventors.
according to the Call of that city, has
sufficient confidence in the scheme to
commence operations Of constructing
balloon for that purpose.
This balloon will not be of the ordi-
nary silk bag pattern, but will be made
of aluminium and in the shape Of a
cigar, pointed at both ends. 1t will be
about 40 feet long and 10 feet in diam
eter at its largest point, and will contain
sufficient gas to sustain it in the rough
est kind of weather. Fans will be con-
structed so as to hold it point UP to
the wind and help it from dipping, and
in calm weather it will be so baanced
that it will remain perfectly level.
4 cable containing the electric wires
will hold it at a sufficient eevation so
that the light will be spread over the
area to be Illuminated to the best adj
vantage.
! The balloon will sustain six arc lights,
or it can be so made as to be covered
with incandescent lights, each one Of
/ which will be inclosed with a reflector,
SO as to concentrate the rays of the light
and throw them downward
An appliance will be provided for
hauling the balloon to the earth for
! trimming the light or making any re-
pairs that might become necessary, OF
raising Or lowering it so that the light
may be advantageously distributed.
The inventor claims that, counting
/ the first cost of the balloons and their
maintenance, the total cost Of lighting
Il city the size of San Francisco will be
reduced considerably, as one balloon
will suffice for from four to six blocks.
At the same time the tangle of deadly
and unsightly wires from the streets
will be removed, and danger from fires
reduced.
! Mr. Smith, IN addition to the lights,
has invented an arrangement of 1airrors,
which will be placed on the under side
of the balloon, so that a person ON one
street can see what is TRANSPORTING on
the next even though blocks of build
1 ings intervene, and this mirror arrange
ment, the Inventor says, will be of
great service to the fire department,
us the location of flames can be easily
aScertained should they break out from
Il b3iiding
! Perhaps tiaa best use to which this
system Of lighting would be turned
would be to harhors,'' said Mr.. Smith.
Three Or fou" of these balloons, placed
over san Francisco bay would make the
harbor, as igilt rs day.
The members Of the San Francisco
! Electric association have discussed nay
scheme pretty thoroughly, and they
claim that it is 1ot only possible, but Ont
/ one that would be very usefuf as a sys-
tenn of city lighting.
! Il have enough faith in it to secure
space at the Worlds Fair to- place OH
exhibition, and my attention from now
: until the Fair opens will be directed
! toward constructing balloon and hav-
ing it I'M perfect working ORDER

THE MEN WHO COMPLAIN.

New York Evening Sun.-Aten should
blindiy overlook any lack of profuse-
ness in the gratitude Of women to whom
they offer their seats when they leave
the train. Last night a Inan conferred
a favor Of this sort On a sickly looking
woman who, holding a basket, had
swayed from a strap few feet from
him past many stations, The woman
was too eager TO get the seat in the
crowd to thank the giver, who had no
longer need of it. The man, however,
did not forget what he considered his
dGcs, and complained to another man
that women had lost the habit Of re-
returning thanks. There are certain
courtesies that are, in fact. no longer
courtesies. Notwithstanding a certain
amount of stupid good will that goes
along with them.

saw the men returning with something

The Old, Old Story.

/ Two Young men OF the world did a
good business in Butler for the week end
/ ing with Wednesday of this week. They
anne here with money and fshed for more
and got it-got something over $4,000 more.
They wanted to buy farm, and some
strange intuition took them down to the
farm of old Nicholas Msugel in Penn twp.
Mangel showed them the farms of that
vicinity, they showed him their money,
and friendly relations were established.
The young men stopped in Butler and
hired their rigs here, and on "Wednesday
morning they drove down to Mangel's and
showed old Nicholas a game Of cards
commonly called 'three-card monte. II
was a new game 10 the old man and he
was delighted with i, aud his delight
bloon>ed into ecstacy when they told him
he had won $4,000 from them. OH what a
game. But hold The man who wins
must show that he meant business, that he
could have paid had he lost. He must
"cover" the $1,000 with 5000 more to Sc
cure it.
So they jumped into their bugglss ana
drove to Butter and Nicholas got $500
of his hard earned oil-royalty money from
one t.ak I'D y 500 Of the same ron an
other. and they drove back to tae farm;
and on the way the whole $10,0 600 IS put in
a nice tin box with a lock on II, and given
10 Nicholas. and he took it home, and the
young men drove back 20 Butler, put up
their rigs and quickly disappeared
One Of the bankers suspected from Man
gels manners that something was wrong
and after be paid him tine money, he follow
ed him down 70 the Piitsburg bridge ana
saw him get in q buggy with stranger
then he reported the matter to the police;
and there vas hasty drive out to Man
gels. so nasty that they passed the stran-
gers on their way back to Butler. The
box was broken open, it contained two
bits Of dilty wocd wrapped IN a paper, and
a letter advising the old man not 10 gam
ble any more. = hen Mangel took his
money from his coat pocket TO put It IN
the box part Of it-some s600-stuck to
his pocket, and he ought to use part Of
that il buying d newspaper or two
Another story Is that 5ut One oi Inc men

Mr. Mangel was showing him over his
farm, Wednesday morning, the other, the
small daIk fellU", met them, talked TOOL

told Them they k.d sCL II tD6y meant
busiuess; ard that Mangel and the big
fellow came to Batter as partners 10 get
the money and beat the little fellow out
OF his 50, 900.
The money changed hands in the woods
the other side Of the second till gate; Man
pei walked The rest Of the way home, and
the two strangers drove back 10 Butler.
Mangel was so sure the 10000 was III
