THE NEW JERSEY CANAL
Surveys for the Route to Raritam Bay
Were Finished Yesterday.
1917 u 4AcrE rscn Gin Ncnn.

TRENTON, Oct. %, 1s94.-The survey
ordered by the City of Philadelphia to
ascertain the practicability of u canal
from Philadelphia across New Jersey to
the Atlantic Ocean was finished yester-
day, and as soon now as possible the
commission having the matter in charge
will report to councils the feasibility and
estimated cost of the project. The route
surveyed covers 81 miles of open river,
from Philadelphia to Bordentown, then
a distance of 80 miles of open water to
New York Bay. The total distance by
this route would be SO miles from Phila-
delphia to New York Bay.
Baltimore is at present deeply interest
ed in a proposition to cut a canal from
Chesapeake Bay across to Delaware Bay,
and a Government commission has
already been appointed to arrange for
the surveys. Concerning this proposed
canal and it's relative effects on Philadel-
phia and Baltimore, Professor Lewis M.
Haupt, who has had charge OF the sur
| veys made from Philadelphia, has this to
say
Commerce is reciprocal, and our in
terests are mutual. | see no ground for
water route between the Chesapeake and
Delaware Bays would build up one
locality at the expense of the other, but,
on the contrary, l feel confident that the
increased facilities thus afforded will
greatly stimulate the business of both
ports. From Philadelphia to a point
at sea Twelve miles off Cape Henlo-
penn it is 16 miles, while from Balti-
more it is 1876 miles to the same point
via the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal.
With a free canal, therefore. there is
practically no difference for foreign
commerce, and. with the New Jersey
Canal built, absolutely none for coast
wise"
The present m of these two
pays aggregates over $4,000, 900 tons per
annum. If but one-third of this should
traverse the canal it would represent a
saving of 1890, 900, 600 ton miles, which,
at two miles, or one-half the lowest rail
rate, would give So, $780, 600 saved on
transportation over this route. This is
the interest at five per cent. on s75,600,-
900, or about fifteen times the probable
cost of the canal.

beginning at Seven She is an Accom-

H~6y11Hlug AZ SeVeA SEC ES AK ACCOhn-
plished Housewife at Fifteen.
The greatest care and anxiety of the
Hindoo mother is to bring up her daugh-
ter to home life and to make her a, good
housewife.
When a girl is seven years of age the
mother teaches her to cook and to
wash the pots Hindoos have two kinds
of washing. One is the daily wash
ing of everyday apparel, for the clothes
are changed every morning after bath
ing Every Hindoo must battle before
he takes his meals Religion requires
that no food be cooked before the per-
son who cooks it has bathed Hence
every woman must battle before she
cooks. A woman first gives a bath to
her children, then she goes to cook. The
clothes are changed and washed every
day.
= The little girl washes the smaller
clothes on a stone and hangs them for
drying. She assists her mother in many
small things; she sweeps the kitchen,
she fetches the utensils, shec uts and
slices vegetables, she pounds and grinds
the spices, she takes out the small peb-
bles from the rice and cleans 1t in water,
and in short she does all the petty work,
assisting her mother. If she has an in
FAINT sister or brohter she feeds it and
lulls it to sleep in the cradle. She gath
ers lowers and weaves them Into
wreaths with which the Hindoo women
adorn their hair.
The mother teaches her to sew and to
embroider and to make her toilet, which
is simple. She has no paint for her
cheeks and no hooks and thorns in her
hair. She adorns her hair with ornamen-
tai flowers made of gold. These are
fixed on the Knot of hair. A small round
mark of red paint is made on her fore
head. The absence of this mark from
the forehead of a woman indicates that
she is a widow, for widows have not
the privilege of wearing it. BY the time
she is fifteen she learns all things per
tanning to general housekeeping and
cookery.-Chicago News.

Use Only Diamond Dyes-Abso-
Iutely Fast Black.

1t is only within the last few years
that it has been possible for an inexperi-
eneed person to dye a black that would
not crock, fade, of wash out. Even mill
dyed black goods were rarely absolutely
fast.
The advent of three diamon dye fast
blacks-for wool. for cotton, and for silk
and feathers has changed all this. Now,
with a ten cent package of one of these
dyes, the first trial gives perfect sue
cess. The directions on the package are
so plain and simple that even a child can
get better results than the experienced
dyer could a few years ago
The prevailing fashion for black stock
ings, feathers, gowns, and cloaks, and
the fact that anything can be colored
with diamond dyes a black that will not
crock or fade, explains their almost uni
versal use.
The peculiar way in which the diamond
dye fast blacks are made, gives them a
great superiority over all other methods
of home dyeing.
There are some forty other colors of
diamond dyes, each of which is thor
oughly reliable, and as superior to imi-
tations as sunlight is to moonlight.
