De Lrsseps GREAT SCHEME.
The Great Promoters Project For North
ern Africa.


The late Count De Lesseps was at one
time engaged In daring and attractive
engineering scheme with which the public
is not generally familiar. It's object was
TO create q new sea and thereby restore to
fertility and civilization a large part of
northern Africa.
Max DE Forest, now Of Nutley, N. j.,
former officer in the French army, met his
famous countryman at this time.
II met Count Dc Lesseps," he said, "in
1881 at Cabes, in southern Tunis, where
/ had been ordered with a squadron OF
cavalry. Shortly after my arrival he came
with surveying party to make soundings
for the proposed interior sea. had orders
to place at his disposal both men and
horses, and the discharge of this duty
brought me into almost daily communioa-
tion with him until his departure.
1.-THE interior sea at that time aroused all
his enthusiasm. He brought to bear the
same persuasive powers that he used when
promoting the Suez and the Panama ca
nails and enterprises. To skeptics he always
replied, It can be done, and it will be done
II the government will give me the money
to do 1t with.
"Its proposed area embraced the entire
plain lying to the southwark Of the bound
airy line drawn from Cabes via Gafsa to
Tamerza. The praoticability of the scheme
was supported by many facts. IL was
proved that an inland sea had covered in
ancient times the area which It was in
| tended to food. The level Of the land was
| generally below that Of the gulf of Cabes.
Innumerable underground streams of fresh
and salt water are found in the southern
part of Algeria and Tunis.
1.-THE water was to be supplied to the In.
land sea from the gulf Of Cabes The tides
would have minimum depth sufficient
TO allow Of the passage in all directions OF
light boats. But the most valuable result
Of the scheme IL was held, would be to re-
store the ancient fertility of the country
and to oppose barrier to the sirocoo, the
deadly burning wind which piles up the
desert sand about the oases and finally
buries them.
IN. De Lesseps dwelt on these benefits
with boundless enthusiasm and imagina
tion. Buried cities would be unearthed
and the coliseum of FL Jemm, now
crumbling ruin, but once approaching
that Of Rome in size, would be accessible,
to admlring tourists.
IN. De Lesseps left the work in tn,
hands of the general staff Of the Frenol
army, by whom 1t is now supposed to b.
carried on. Whether any progress is beinl
made l do not know. New York Adver

McPhun's Joke.

McPhun entered the club few morn
ings ago, his chin and checks plainly
showing that he was freshly emancipated
from the hands of the barber.

McKan lazily.
Eyes, and had my hair cut too, " was
the reply. always have my hair cut when
have a shave"
"And how often do you get sbavedH'
was the languid inquiry.
EVERY morning" answered McPhun.
"And have your hair cut, too, every
dayp" said the other.
"Yes."
"Don't you find it rather expensive'"
"No; only costs twopence"
"What? Only twopence for shave and
hair cuttingP"
"That's all. Barber couldn't shave me
without cutting my hair, don't you
know?"
And 1t took poor Mac ~ minutes by

An italian Game.

A traveller describes a game which is
popular with the children of Italy. 1t
is very like one played by American
children. In Italy the game is called
counting the eggs, and is thus played:
The children sit in row on the grass,
with every pair of brown feet we'll in
sight. The mother counts her eggs
that is, the children's feet-and then
says: "Now, there are 16 eggs. Be sure
you don t eat any while go to church. /"
In her absence the children tuck up a
certain number of feet under their
frocks and say, "What a long time
mother is at churchl' She comes home,
counts the eggs and says: why, how
is this? left 16 and now there are only
ten. " The children answer that wom-
an came while she was gone and offered
four chickens for the six eggs, and they
took her offer. "Where are the eggs?"
asked tho mother "Down in the field, !"
they reply. The mother goes to seek
them, and no sooner is her back turned
than all her children jump and dance
about, shouting, "We've eaten them
ourselves" whereupon the mother has
to catch them all and whip them. The
last one caught has to be the mother the
next time.

THE HUMAN BLOOD.
How 1t Is Composed---
What 1t Is For.
A STUDY of the Wit l. FLUID
1t Must Be Kept Pure II You Wish
/ Good Health.

The blood is red fluid circulating through
the heart, arteries and veins of the human
body, serving for the nourishment of all its
parts and for the support Of life. 1t is, liter
ally the vital fluid. 1t consists in the first
place, of water which contains various sub.
stances, and secondly of corpuscles or little
globes which float in this liquid. The blood is
| the product of the elaboration of chyle, and by
means of the arteries and veins ii carries
nOurishment to every organ and tissue of the
body. From 1t the secretive organs oh
tain material for their respective
secretions, such as saliva, bile, etc.
The importance of pure blood is so great and
thH consequences which result from impurities
in the blood are so widespread and appalling
| that IL becomes most interesting and import
ant to know what is the surest way to keep the
blood pure and thus prevent and cure blood
| diseases
long experience has proven beyond any
question that the best remedy is Hoods Sarsa,
parilla, and the thousands of cures of scrofua
| and other diseases which arise from impure
| blood could never have been accom-.
plished by Hoods Sarsaparilla if it had moi
been peculiarly adapted to act upon the blood
purifying, enriching and vitalizing 1t and de
stroying the disease germs with which ii had
become loaded. No fact Is better established
than the fact that Hoods Sarsaparilla actually
does purify the blood and no evidence can be
more convincing than that contained in thou
sands of testimonials which prove that Hoods
Sarsaparilla cures.
At the present time II is especially important
to see that the blood is pure. Even under the
most favorable circumstances the blood is liable
to become impure during the winter season
There are numerous reasons for this. In the
first place we do not perspire as freely as il
summer and the impurities which should b,
carried of in the pores of the skin are retained
in the system and absorbed by the blood. Bat
ventilation in our homes, shops, offices
aud mills, also tends TO impoverish au(
poison the blood. Again, during the wintel
the natural tendency is 10 eat more fat heat
producing food, which overtaxes the stomach
and has u depressing effect upon the system
generally, causing biiousness, sick headache
dyspepsia and that tired feeling.
IL is, therefore, Of the greatest importanc,
that in the spring the blood be thoroughly rem
oyated and purified by the great blood purifier
Hoods Sarsaparllla.

"Mr. Smartc, " said the head Of the firm,
"I happened to overhear your criticisms
this morning of the manner in which busi-
ness is carried on here. You appear to be
laboring under a mistaken idea. As a
matter of fact, we are not running this
house to make money. Not at all. We
carry on this business simply as school
for the instruction of young men. But as
you seem to know so much more about
business than we do 1t would be only
wasting your time to keep you here. The
cashier will settle with you. What Is our
loss is your gain. ''-Boston Transcript

When boys and girls travel, they are
always interested in the flags which are
waved at the crossings and switchboxes
along the lines of the railroads. Three
colors are most seen-white, green and
red-and little oouplet which railroad

these signals in your minds:
Whites for right, and reds for wrong,
And green's for gently go along.

WASHINGTON, April lO.-Secretary
Smith took up the protests Of the Yank.
ton Ind ans against allowing the State
of South Dakota to select school lands
within the coded reservation. The Sec
rotary decided to recommend to the
president, who has the proclamation
declaring the lands open yet unsigned,
to temporarily withhold his signature.
He will allow the state two weeks
within which to file arguments show
ing it's rights to select these lands, and
thereafter will render his decision. It
is probable that in the meantime he
will take some steps to have squatters
removed from the reservation, a task
that may require the use Of United

D. D. Holdridge, present incumbent,

nomination at this evening convention.
| For treasurer board of education, the
name of Frank Smith has been quite
freely discussed during tho afternoon,
and it is likely he will receive the en-
dorsement of the convention. This is
an important office and Mr.. Smith is
particularly we'll qualified to perform
the duties OF it.
Several changes have been made in
the school board. In the First ward,
Mrs. d. d. Holdridge received the nemi
nation for member, but declined, and
residents OF the ward will substitute
the name Of John Nj. Walker. Mr..
Walker is a pioneer school board Nom
Der, having served many terms, and at
ter a rest of a few years will undoubted-
ly put new vigor into his past good
record.
In the Second ward, Dan McKinnon
declines reelection and Geo. Runkel has
been prevailed upon to stand as a candi-
date. Mr.. Runkel is experienced in
ofic ial work and will certainly make a
good member.
! In the Third ward, VIM. Rae has
listened to the opportunities Of his
friends and will come out as an indepen-
dent candidate against M. j. Brennan.
Mr.. Rue was strongly urged as a candi-
date for alderman from that ward, and
it seems his friends are determined to
bestow honor upon him. The school
officers will be elected on the old plan of
voting, and not under the Australian
system, and separate ballot boxes from
the city will be provided for this pur-
pose. However, the voting will be done
at the same polling places and at the
same time. Women have the right to
vote for school officers.
