blasts Of horns, saying, "Glory be to

Dunning a Man-o,.War.

Strange scenes marked the weighing
of the anchor of q man-of-war belong
ing to a South American Government
at Toulon the other night. 1t is said
that the officers had contracted debts
amounting to about $4,000 N the
southern naval seaport. Accordingly
the vessel before leaving the roadstead
wa surrounded by boatloads of excited
and clamoring creditors, who made at
tempts to get on board, but were
threatened by the crew of the man-of-
war. Both officers and men, accord
ing to the report, said that they would
prevent anybody from entering the
ship at the point of the sword. The
French cooks and stewards, who had
been hired for the messroom of the
foreign man-of-war, then left the YES
sci, as they were afraid they might re-
ceive bad treatment during the voyage.
AS the creditors we're unable to get on
board they had themselves rowed back
to shore and lodged a complaint with
the Justice of the Peace. A writer
was soon dispatched out to the foreign
vessel, but the captain refused to see
him. Soon afterward the man-of-war
stood out to sea, and the creditors,
finding that the naval project of the
port could do nothing for them, re-
solved to bring their grievances to the
notice Of the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Driving Damp Shoes.

One of the most fertile resources OF
colds and serious incidental ailments
is the wearing of damp shoes. When
shoes have been saturated with water
the attempt to dry them by exposing
them before O stove or fire is obviously
damaging to the leather, while it does
not insure the expulsion of moisture
from the inside. For accomplishing
this a new invention has been brought
out, consisting of a hollow stoneware
last, which can be SLED with hot
water like a bottle and which is made
in q variety of shapes and sizes to cor
respond to the inside of ordinary
shoes. The hole at the top of the last
is eorked as soon as the hot water has
been poured in. The last is kept in
position until the inside of the shoe is
thoroughly dry, and the bot water can

Harper's Weekly says OF the Mica
eagua Canal: I'm war or in peace the
exclusive control of this canal will be
10 as of inestimable value. For at
lacking or defending the coasts of our
hemisphere, and the islands adjacent
thereto, it is more advantageously
situated than is Gibraltar for the
Mediterranean. AS q means of uniting
the East and the West, it will be OF
more value than is the Suez Canal for
uniting ENGLAND with India. The
latter saves but 5000 miles, while the
Nicaragua Canal saves $500 in the voy-
age from the Gulf ports to San Fran
cisco. If we are to continue u
policy of protecting the smaller States
Of the two Americas against thu larger
ones, and all Of them against foreign
en-croachment, we must control the
canal. We must also defend u W
country. Our Pacific coast is nearly
d~efenceIess. From New York 30 San
Francisco it is Is, 900 miles by water
half the circumference of the globe.
Between the same points by the canal
IL ia only 5000 miles. From New Or
leans to San Francisco it is 1850
miles. The canal will cut this distance
down to 1000 miles, q still greater saw
ing. Now England can hurl feet
against our western ports by way of
The Suez Canal or from Australia,
while another feet with base athCme

strongholds along our eastern coast, is

ing for the commerce of the world, and

Eagua Canal have an immense advan-
tage. No trade will flourish unless
protected by the strong arm OF mile
tary power, md no better example Of

Nhefe al the great Nations of the

Making Cloth Water Proof.

A correspondent asks for a recipe for
making cloth waterproof. There is
surely no better method than putting
half a pound of sugar of lead and half
a pound of alum in a pail of soft water,
stirring it often until it becomes clear,
pouring it off into another pail, and
putting the cloth or garment into it,
to remain there for twenty-four hours.
The material should then be hung up
to dry without wringing. 1t is said
that garments thus treated will keep
the weager absolutely dry in the heavi-
est rainssorm the rain simply hangs
in globales upon the cloth. Water
proof cloth is more healthy to wear
than Rubber goods. Chicago Record.
