Francois Great Canal System.

Interior navigation has long held a
prominent place in the traffic of France,
and it is not surprising to learn that the
length of navigable waterways in that
country is 5000 miles, of which $50 miles
are returned as tidal, 2,1OO miles naviga-
bic without works, $3.50 miles canalized
rivers and 5000 miles canals. The state
looks out for all but 7 per cent of this
network, which is therefore practically
free from tolls. This system of inland
navigation has cost about $500, 600, 900
for construction and purchase and $685.
600, 900 for concessions. The annual cost
of maintenance is about 81, 600, 900, or
1926 a mile, which covers all expendi-
lures whatsoever. The number of YES
sells employed on the waterways is be-
tween $4,000 and 10000. About 26 per
cent have a capacity of 300 tons or more,
while more than half have a capacity ex-
ceeding 100 tons.
Moreover, about 1900 foreign boats
use the French canals each year. The
motive power is now almost entirely
furnished by draft animals, although a
few steam tugs are used on the Seine,
the Disc and some other rivers, and
steam cargo boats are occasionally met.
Cable towing and tow locomotives are
also used in a few places. The average
cost of moving a ton Of freight one mile
is stated to be .064 cents on the rivers
and 25 per cent less on the canals.-Paris
Letter.

The Pale White Light of Death.

Those who have admired the phos.
p%horescent glow of certain species Of
crustace will be interested to learn that
a startling discovery respecting it has
been made. Formerly it was supposed
that such creatures emitted the light of
their own accord, and that they used it
in a variety of ways. 1t is now known
that the light is a disease as deadly to
the infected individuals as cobra poison
ing is to the human species. M. Girard
has traced phosphorescent light in tati-
trus and other c%rustaceans to exceed
ingly minute bacteria in the muscles.
On inoculating healthy specimens with
glowing bacteria, the same luminous ap
pearance was transmitted. He also notes
that the disease runs a regular course,
and that those infected die within four
days, the phosphorescence lasting but a
short while after death.-St. Louis Re
public.

Professional Jealousy.

Brignoli was intensely jealous of all
other tenors, never admitting for an in
slant that any one of them could sing
even passably well. When the hand
some, talented Tom Karl burst upon the
New York stage, Brignoli turned up his
nose.
"What do you think of Tom Karl?"
Tagliapietra asked him one night.
"Oh, he is a very nice little boy" he
replied, with a shrug. 81 like him very
much, but he has missed his vocation. I
think he was born to be a policeman"
Karl was tall and of fine proportions
and was singing at the time with Titiens
in s'La Favorita. New York Tribune.

THE I'M MORTAL SOUL.
Victor Hugo's Memorable Impromptu Re
ply to the Atheists.

Victor Hugo's Memorable Impromptu Re
ply to the Atheists.
At a dinner given to Victor Hugo in
Paris some years ago he delivered an
impromptu address, in which he gave
expression to his faith in the infinite and
in the souls immortality. His friend,
Houssaye, who was present, says:
Hugo at that time was a man Of steel,
with no sign of old age about him, but
with all the agility, the s~uppleness, the
ease and grace of his best years" He
was ~contradicting the atheists, and his
friend says ''his face was bright with
the heavenly halo, and his eyes shone
like burning Goals"
There are no occult forces" he said;
there are only luminous forces. Occult
force is chaos; the luminous force is
God. Man is an infinite little copy of
God. This is glory enough for man. I
the ocean, a grain of sand on the shore.
Little as I am, I feel the God in me, be-
cause I a also bring forth out of my
chaos. I make books, which are crea-
tions. I feel in myself that future life. I
am like a forest which has been more
than once cut down; the new shoots are
stronger and livelier than ever.
81 am rising, I know, toward the sky.
The sunshine is on my head. The earth
gives me its generous sap, but heaven
lights me with the reflection of unknown
worlds. You say the soul is nothing but
the result of bodily powers. Why, then,
is my soul more luminous when my bod
lily powers begin to fail? Winter is on
my head, and eternal spring is in my
heart. There 1 breathe at this hour the
fragrance Of the lilacs, the violets and
the roses as at 20 years ago. The nearer
I approach the end the palmer I hear
around me the immortal symphonies Of
the worlds which invite me.
"It is marvellous, yet simple. It is a
fairy tale, and it is historic. For half a
century I have been writing my thoughts
in prose and verse, history, philosophy,
drama, romance, tradition, satire, ode
and song. I have tried all, but I feel l
have not said a thousandth part Of what
is in me. When I go down to the grave,
I can say, like many others, I have fin
ished my days work, but I cannot say
I have finished my life. My days will
begin again the next morning. The
tomb is not a blind alley; it is a thor.
oughfare. It closes on the twilight to
open on the dawn."-L'Univers.

Worries of Letter Writing.

Of our YOU never had important
letters ready to mail and went down

the letters and carry them around

with you at night? Did you ever post a
letter that you would have given almost
anything to recall after it had passed out
