ernment building 1t.
Capt. George W. Bell. of South Bend,
consul TO Sydney. y. S. W, iectured at
the Chamber OF Commerce rooms Friday
night ON the subject of the Nicaragua
canal. There was fair attendance, and
those present showed great interest in the
lecture, which was highly interesting.
Capt. Bell is opposed to the idea of con-
gress aiding private corporation to Guild
the canal, which he considers the greatest
necessity of the age from an industrial,
commercial and naval point of view. He
is opposed to the canal being owned or
controlled by any combination or nation
other than the government of the United
States, and he feels sure that congress will
not pass the bill now proposed for aiding
the canal company. for the people will not
stand il.
His plan is for the government to issue
$l00 000.o00 and hire man like Jim Hill
to build it in three years. He would then
allow American ships TO pass through
free and place toll of 81 a ton on foreign
vessels. This would give the Americans
such an advantage that the merchant
marine would at once begin to grow and
would soon make the United States the
leading carrying nation in the world. He
vessels would amount to SIS. 000, 900 year.
which would pay 81 900 600 year operating
expenses, the interest on the bonds and
provide sinking fund that would redeem
the bonds in twenty-five years.

Things Which We Lose.

or the various small ways in which
valuable time Is lost in domestic
life (says writer in the Bazaar) one
Of the most vexatious Is looking for
things. The things looked for are
usually little ones and generally in
expensive. The tale of them ex-
tends from scissors and button holes
thimbles and latch-keyS down
through the various household de.
partments to the shovel and poker
Of the kitchen. When we have ex-
hausted our time and our temper In
the quest we laboriously and pain
fully 'use something else" which
about half answers the purpose, and
the next day, when we have succeeded
IN forgetting our unpleasant expert
snce, the shameless thing Is suddenly
spied quietly lying land probably
,huckling to itselD in some unsus.
pected nook, fright under our noses"
1t would lie a proper retaliation to
the fiendish ingenuity Of these miser-
able trifies II housekeepers would
make 1t a rule that they should be
let stay lost SO long as they have
mind for the amusement. and come
to light when they get tired OF 1t. TO
look for these small necessary ar
ticles when lost takes frequently
goodly amount of the time, the pa
thence, and the good temper of
large family-say five or six people
TO duplicate them, even by DOZENS
would cost IA comparatively small
sum of money Therefore. let us
buy our pokcrs and oar latch-keys by
the gross if it should be necessary.
Then we may calmly smile at the
temporary disappearance even of a
dozen or so, while we reserve our
time and patience and amiability for
sublimer things.

The Care of the Piano,

The temperature of the room in
which the piano Is kept is one Of the
most important things to be consid
cred. As moisture is absolutely
necessary, see to it that the air in
the room is not allowed to become
too dry. The growing plant will
prove good test: if it thrives you
may be sure that the atmosphere is
such one your piano needs, and II
on the other hand, the plant does not
thrive 1T would be we'll to find out
the reason. About seventy degrees
Is the proper temperature for the
room In which the piano is kept DO
not allow it to stand where the suns
rays can shine directly upon it, and
be careful to keep it closed and well
covered while the sweeping and dust
ing of the room in which it stands
are in progress. To prevent the case
OF your piano from becoming smoky
in appearance wipe small portion
at = time with tine sponge wet in
tepid water and little CASTLE soap.
Dry with moistened channels cloth
which has been wrung until almost
dry. When this has been done apply
SOME reliable piano polish with a soft
flannel cloth.

Can This Bo True?

A collection was being taken up in
Detroit church, there being q
special demand for funds because Of
the continued cold spring weather.
There was a necessity for more fuel,
and the officiating minister thought
to insure more liberal contributions
by himself passing the hat. A
shrewd, well-flxed, but somewhat il.
norant parishoner was in front pew,
and when the minister reached him
the old gentleman simply smiled and
shook his head knowingly. The
preacher was persistent but the re.
Spouse was: ''l'm on to you. sir; I'm
on to YOU" After making the COM
plete rounds the minister gave tho
wealthy member another call. There
was nothing to be had but q cunning
laugh and the repeated assurance
that he was on to the good dominic.
"What DO YOU mean?" INQUIRED tho
latter. "You know that we must
have more fuel to carry us through
until the weather moderates."
That's all right, but Pm on to you
just the same;" and then, raising his
voice SO that the whole congregation
might profit by his acutenCss, the old
gentleman said, "What In tho world
do you want money to buy coal for
when we heat this here church with
Steam?"-Free Press

When the latest young lady 1t

was hush of expectancy says the
Washington Star. Up to that time
everybody was pleased, because every
one seemed to have gained In weight
The little girl with auburn ringlets
had uttered little shrek OF delight
when she found for the first time In
her life she tipped the scales at over
100 pounds The youthful matr0n
In black, who had said all along that
1t was only her mourning that made
her look thinner, was triumphant
when her avOirdupOis was registered
at Ill. AS for the fair creature with
the balloon sleeves aud incipient
crinoline, she declared that she had
never before weighed within eight
pounds As much. When the latest
young lady got aboard she said with
amable resignation:
"Put on the ftty pound weight.
I'll need it,"
So the iron disc representing fifty
pounds was put ON and the register
was slid along by the girl with the
auburn ringlets. Strange to say, it
passed up to the very end OF the bar
without making the scale drop
'Guess you'll have to put on an
other flfty," giggled the unfeeling
creature in the balloon sleeves
The latest young lady began to
look alarmed.
1T isn't So" she exclaimed indix-
nantly, II don't weigh an ounce over
179 pounds"
But the girl with auburn rlnglets
had already added the extra flfty
pound weight, which caused the scale
to respond at once. 1t promptly
registered 202 pounds. The latest
young lady looked as though she d d

from infancy to this sort of exercise,
acquire extraordinary ease and skill
in it. The tchangue is perfectly able
to preserve his equilibrium; he
marches with long strides, hats in 8
standing position, runs with agility,
or executes an occasional acrobatic
turn, picking up stone from the
ground, pluck ng flower, pretending
to fall and rise quickly, or running in
a lock step, etc.
The speed attained by stiltsmen is
easily explained, when we regard the
superior length Of the strides which
they can make without enlarging the
angle of separation Of the legs.
When the Empress Josephine went
to meet Napoleon at Bayonne in
1908, the municipality sent a com.
pany of youag Landais stiltsmen to
escort her. Turning back, they very
easily kept up with her carriage, al
though the horses trotted rapidly.
During her sojourn at Bayonne the
shepherds on their stills gave much
amusement to the ladies of the court.
They ran 1888, threw money on the
ground and all tried to pick it up at

Of cunning and skill, accompanied

root more easily grown than carrots,
as its wider leaf when it first comes

in advocacy of the parsnip we dislike
to say aught against the carrot. Both
roots should be grown, and the carrot

Your stable as we'll as your house
should be built on an elevation il

PLANT peas every two or three
weeks If IA succession of crops is de-
sired The dwarf varieties require
no sticks or supports.
WOOD ashes make good fertilizer
for potatoes. They can be applied
broadcast over the surface when there
is full supply, or they can be ap-
piled in the hill with benefit.
SHEEP kept on farms in small flocks
are more profitable per capita than
those kept in large focks, for the
reason that they are more easily han
died, and are consequently better
cared for
SOME farmers believe that sheep re-
quire but little water, and neglect the
flock In that respect The fact is
that sheep require water regularly,
and should receive an unlimited sup
ply at all times.
The Horticultural Times says that
no orchards or gardens should be with
