Feasibility of the Chesapeake and Della

ware Route. Advantages Over
the Choptank.
Prof. Lewis NJ. Haupt, chief of the
civil engineering department OF the
University of Pennsylvania, has written
to the Baltic. Sun with reference to the
advantages to be derived by the building
of deep water canal to the sea. LAS an
inlard seaport" he writes, Baltimore
has great geographical advantages over
her sister cities on the Atlantic, in conse
quence OF her proximity to the interior
trade of the country. This advantage is,
however, neutralized to some extent by
the long detour which vessels are obliged
to make to double the capes before reach
ing the high seas, and it has long been
dream of her enterprising citizens to re-
move, in part, this obstruction by a
short cut across the peninsula. But this
is not get accomplished, although numer
Gus surveys have been made and many
projects advanced, because of the many
conflicting conditions attending work
of such magnitude. The question is not
merely of local interest but of National
Importance, one in which the great West
as well as the East, North and South are
directly involved
Viewed from purely physical aspect
a short cut to the sea is by no meaDs a
straight line from Baltimore to the
nearest point on the outer coast where
It is possible to make and MAINTAIN a
harbor. Such a line might be wholly
impTacticable as to cost and time OF
transit and if built might not be used, as
it's utility would be measured by the cost
and time of traversing the competitive
route, via the bay. The engineering
is to find the line of least resistance, that
is one which will cost the least, afford
greatest facilities for traffic, and which
will serve the largest number OF interests.
If no such line can be found then the
bay route must ever retain it's supre-
macy.
ITO determine this question numerous
J comparative surveys have been made by

ministers were especially vigorous in their
expressions and appointed a committee
consisting of Revs G. II. Richardson. A
M. Cou-tenay and III. s. France to draft
resolutions which would give full vent to
their Indignation. The committee reported
the following which was upanimopsIv
adopted:
WHEREAS, The local Chicago directory
OF the Worlds Fair has announced ~
intention to open the Exposition on SUNDAY
beginning with the 2lst inst and.
WHEREAS, This action is in defiance of
the law OF God the traditions and customs
OF the American people and the convictions
OF aChristlan community; therefore, be il
RESOLVED by the preachers meeting of
the Methodist Episcopal Church in Bslti
more consisting of over one hundred mem.
bers, that we here utter in the most am

that we agree breaches and edncatorg
IN every possible manner in public and

to deslst from attendan ce ontthe Fair if this |
policy be continued.
IL was stated that some of the minister's
had already engaged quarters at Cbicaqo |
but would countermand the orders and re-. |
main away. The ministers then listened |
10 an article on Sunday newspapers nv the
Rev. w. w. Davis and postponed the discus

offered by Rev. Samuel McLanahap. wa.
passed condemning the opening of the Fair
on Sunday, in which the proposed move

Rev. Oliver Hemstreet declared that if tho
Fair was to open on Sunday be would mt
attend it at all and would try to dissuads
Others from going. Rev. d. b. Grsioo
stated that in Chicago on Sunday the attend,
ance at the Wild West Show was 10 ono
and at the ball game $4,000 and he asked
if this form of amusement was not mora
harmful than spending the day in the

was overruled, and the resolution was
adopted unanimously.

Habits and Principles.

It seems the easiest thing in the
world for some individuals to do right,
and the hardest thing in the world for
others. But it will be found in the
great majority of cases, If not in every
single case, that those who keep the
commandments, who "do their duty"
as Wordsworth says, .."and know 1t
not" have had right principles formed
within them and have been trained in
right habits in early years.
To be very concrete and practical,
let us take very spotless young man
of our acquaintance. In babyhood ne
was habituated to going TO sleep for his
nap in the daytime or his rest at night
without rocking. He was taught to
amuse himself with toys; as early as
he could learn them, to say his pray
ers on going to bed. He was required
from very early age to pick up his
toys, to keep his clothes in place, to
run errands, and do chores. The hab-
its of correct speaking, of truth tell:
ing, of implicit obedience to parental
authority, were formed in him from
the earliest stages of his progress. Re
was taught to read. and suitable BOOKS
were provided as he grew older, inter-
esting books, illustrated books OF ma
tural history, travel, and adventure.
He PLAYED with other children, but his
tastes were so cultivated that he re-
yolted from coarseness, rudeness, and
vulgarity and preferred the refined as
sociations of home to any others. He
was taught to render to all their due,
not TO take advantage of any less for
tunute or "smart" than he, to abhor
unjust gains, and to respect the rights
and possessions of his brothers and
sisters. The Bible was made interest
ing to him by his parents, who at fam
ily devotions selected such portions of
it as would be sure not to weary the
children; he was accustomed always 10
90 to Sunday school and church more
as a privilege than as a duty. In fact,
the ways of virtue were made ways OF
pleasantness to him, and be knew no
other ways. His habits and his prin-
ciples were formed in him with very
little volition of his own, 80 when he
grew to manhood, accusomed TO right
doing, right feeling, tight thinking, it
was easy to keep on in the way he had
grown up. We must believe that TEN
Tyson, Emerson, Lowell, and, to 60
farther back, Washington, and the
eminent men that surrounded him,
had substantially the same training.
We know this of most of them. 1t
was easier for them to do right then to
do wrong, because to do wrong they
Would have to 60 contrary to the entire
trend of their early training.
Is it necessary to elaborate this topic
further? A word to the wise is sutfi-
cient.

Health by Exercise.

If you walk along the streets Of any
one of our American cities or orvillages,
you can but notice how many drug.
stores there are. If you read the adj
vertisements in the daily papers, you
can but observe how many patent
medicines are brought prominently
before che public; medicines that will
cure every form of disease, restore
youth to age, and Danish pain from
the world. Walking along the streets,
your attention is arrested by playcards
assuring you that such and such pre-
parations will cure you of-all the Ills
that flesh is heir to-.
They have learned better than all
this in Sweden. Should you visit
Stockholm and funt for drug store,
you would be long time in finding
one, and then there would be no
Haunting colOrs in the window, but
simply device of the serpent or the
owl on the glass window pane to inti-
mate that dugs were sold within.
Neither would you find the columns
of the newspapers full Of entreaties to
buy patent medicines. They have
learned better than that in Sweden.

rule are tall and we'll made, and the
women likewise. They have been

cures for almost every form Of disease.
Where the ordinary gymnastics do
not cure, medical gymnastics are called
in, and patients are rubbed, pound

ured, chopped, nexed, rotated, and
jolted as on velocipede'' by ma

or another, till the demon Of disease.
is driven out. Then by attention to
the laws of health the patient must
keep him out. =
Now If you are sick and want to
stake something to make you feel
better, take exercise, take sleep, take
rest, take abstinence, take nollrfsh-
ing food, take flannel, take fresh air,
but don't take drugs. You have
eaten too much or too little; you
have worn too little or too much
clothing; you have not slept enough,
perhaps, and what you need is not
drugs, but q return to the conditions &
that wait on health. ..s 5
