EIY Catchers.

A gentleman who went into the woods
region on hunting excursion and ''put
up" at farmhouse in remote clearing
was annoyed during the daytime with
the abundance of flies that found access
to the house But when twilight Of
evening came he was treated to an exhi
bition of fly catching that more than re-
paid him for his vexation. The windows
were opened as the darkness settled
down, and the hostess tallow dip only
partially dispelled the gloom in the old
fashioned kitchen, when he suddenly
became aware of odd creatures darling
70 and fro in the room, often coming al
most into his face, while queer little
noise of "snip, snip, SNIP" seemed to
follow their velvety .futteTing motions.
For an instant he was startled, not
knowing what to make Of such intru6-
ers.
Its only the bats, said the lady
quietly as she pursued her work. "They
are catching flies. Don't you hear EN-
snip off their wings? There'll be hun
dreds of fly wings on the floor here in
the morning -
The gentleman arose early and looked
for the wings, and sure enough the floor
and tables were Uttered with them -

CANALS OF The FUTURE.
they VIII Be Large Enough For the Han
ding of Heavy business.

~~SN@@NS0'
The history Of the struggle between
canals of small dimensions and Of rail-
roads has been the same IN all countries.
The fight ragged bitterly for number Of
years, the canals acting on the defen
sive, although they had as allies this
states under whose patronage they were
built and operated. The result has been
the same in all cases-the unconditional
surrender of the canals to the railroads.
This, however, is not SO much the fault
of the system as of their management.
The railroads have great advantages
over canals They are better able to
abridge distances both by reason of supe.
rior speed and of facilities for overcom-
ing elevations, spanning streams, free
from danger of destructive floods, and
piercing through the highest mountains,
but their great success is mainly due tc
the fact that they have kept pace with
the progress of the world.
Waterways built from the beginning
of the eighteenth century to the first
quarter of the nineteenth century were
regarded ample to meet the requirements
of trade at the time they were construct
ed, and there was in many instances a
progressive Improvement in their dimen-
sions and appurtenances. But while the
industrial, agricultural and commercial
developments of the world have ad'
vanced to proportions not dreamed Of a
century ago canals have remained sta.
tionary. They are now obsolete and can
no longer fulfill the requirements OF
cheap transportation in competition
with railroads The canals of the future
must have the dimensions and the facili.
ties for rapid transport to adapt them to
the new conditions of commerce. They
must not be barge or boat canals, but
ample waterways for the free passage OF
such ships as are now engaged in carry
ing the worlds trade Of such canals
we have now some Important types In

ess of construction or in completion. -

Charmed by q Snake.

Snakes travel a good deal on their
re sts ton They scare birds and small
animals SO they become helpless. We all
know this to be fact. And then when
they get in a tight place with man
they try to run bluff on him. A law
yer in our town once met rattlesnake
down in the Ozarks and began to expert
ment, or rather to let the snake expert
ment, to see if there was anything Id
the snake charming theory. Po said
that the snakes eyes got brighter and
brighter, and his scales became gllsten-
ing, and his body seemed to swell up
little thicker, and the whole outfit be-
came so engrossing that he finally ran
away from the snake in dead scare
and didn't get over it for a good while
after He told me that it was his BELIEF
that if he had kept company with thai
snake much longer he would have los
his wits.-Forest and Stream.

FINISHED POETRY
Patient Labor as Much as Fine Frenzy q
Factor In Its Production.

Patient Labor as Much as Fine Frenzy q
Factor In It's Production.
There are yet some persons left who
fancy that poetry is the product of a
fine frenzy; that the poet genius awakes
from q sublimated cataleptic trance to
fill page after page with effortless
beatitudes. A number of manuscript
sheets of Longfellow's Excelsior, I"
which may be found in Harvard, should
not only explode this theory, but give
hope to many discouraged amateur
AS Longfellow first constructed the first
verse of this poem it ran:
The shades of night were falling fast
AS through an Alpine village passed
A youth who, as the peasants sung,
Responded in an unknown tongue,
Excelsior.
This was manifestly weak, as tha
only obvious reason why the Alpine
peasants sung was that they might af-
ford rhyme for the youths response
in an unknown tongue. A second trial
at the verse, however, not only failed to
improve it, but arranged it in such
form that it is difficult to believe Long.
fellow guilty of the fault The last two
lines Of the verse were made to read:
A youth who bore pearl of price.
banner with the strange device.
There are not many, even among the
magazine poets of today, who would
consent to refer to banner as ga pearl
of price. - But the poet had by this time
three lines to his liking, and the substi,
tuition of "a youth who bore mid snew
and ice" completed the verse as it has
been read and spoken throughout the
length and breadth of the land, all of
which goes to show that the genius of
the poet is in the conception, and that
the production Of the poem, being quite
another matter, lies solely in the direc-
ton of patient labor. Chicago Herald.
