Chicago Canal Comes Next.

The kieI, the Harlem and the 800"
canals have all been opened recently
Dear old Chicago is next in line with her
$40, coo, 900 drainage canal, on which up
ward Of $4,000, 600 has already been ex-
pended. This truly great undertaking
will probably be completed within a
couple of years and is expected to carry
the sewage Of the windy city into the
Mississippi and out TO the sea in such a
manner as to solve the city's sewage
problem without detriment TO itself or
to the population of the Illinois or Mis-
sissippi valleys. The canal will be 165
feet wide and is feet deep, and it is said
that Chicago will invite the garbage
contractors of all creation to attend the
opening festivities and sail through the
canal in their crack scows. 1t makes
ones head swim with pride to think
what a gorgeous figure our Colonel Geo
Beautiful Waring will cut on that grand
occasion. And think how Chicago will
blow when. for the first time, the sewage
is turned on and proves to. be of sufff-
cient volume to raise the Mississippi a
foot at st. Louis!

the Railroads on Baggage.

the Railroads on Baggage.
A caller dropped into the Brightside
fiat and found Mr.. and Mrs. Brightside,
and their wise little terrier, Ming"
all assembled in the kitchen. Mr..
Brishtside was busy boring holes with
an augeY IN the end OF a rood-siZed
packing box, while Mrs. Brishtslde and
the dog, seated side by side on the floor,
regarded him with intense, though pos
sibly hypocritical, admiration. Near by
stood another packing box with four
holes in each end, through which loops
of strong rope had been SO fastened as
to make good serviceable handles.
This is about the greatest crisis of
my life," observed Mr.. Brightside.
How do you suppose I got that rope in
without opening the box? Just figure
on it now"
AS the caller belongs to the sex which
has never produced a great epic poem,
discovered a continent, or voted for the
Governor of Illinois, she gave up the
problem with a cheerful meellnesS born
of centuries of acknowledged incapac-
ity Mr. Brightside having finished
boring, produced a bent wire and a
piece of string. one end of which was
fastened to a few feet of rope. With
the wire he proceeded to insert the
string into one hole and wiggle it out at
another BY means Of the string the
rope was then towed into position, the
whole process ending triumphantly in
another pair Of handles.
But what are you doing it for?''
Hes making trunks explained Mrs.
Brightside. It's his latest speciality"
THE only trouble with me-" said
Mr.. Brightside, with apparent irrele-
vance, lis that I'm lazy"
But what on the top Of the prairie
are you making trunks out Of packing
boxes for? Cui bono, you know"
"To save freight. I'm sending them to
a friend in Wisconsin. you see. I've got
some other friends starting out there to-
night, and if these things have handles
on they can take them as baggage.
Otherwise the railway company Tont

beautiful piece of work.
The caller joined the intent audience
on the floor, and contemplated Mr..
Brightside with wonder, love and
praise. 1t was pleasing TO find any one
clever enough to get ahead Of a rail

Mary r. wilkins Home life.

Miss Mary z. Wilkins is the fortu-
nate possessor OF the treasury with
which the romantic novelist adorns his
heroines-a wealth of beautiful golden
hair, and it is of the real yellow golden
hue which one seldom sees growing
naturally on a womans head. The dis
tinguished novelist is very tiny III fig
ure, and very shy and modest in man
ner, She cares little for the applause
of the world; indeed, she seems hardly
to know what TO do with the fame that
she has won. At little distance one
would take her for a shy and sensitive
child VINO begs that she may not be
pointed out 10 public notice, rather than
for the successful authoress whose
work is ranked by critics among the
best of the century Miss wilkins was
a student at Mount Holyoke college
and her home is in a small town in east
ern Massachusetts, not far from Boston.

American Women Have Good Taste, but


American Women Have Good Taste, but
No Originality.
have had an interesting conversa-
ton with my hairdresser about the
characteristics of the ladies of the
many nationalities on whom he oper-
atcs, says a writer in London Truth.
The American, though so fully eTnanci-
pated, has, he thinks, no originality
She assimilates everything and orig
mates nothing. In Paris-and, for that
matter, in New York-her set-up is eX-
actly modelled on that of the PariSienne.
When guided by a model she has taste.
But she is dependent upon a model. Her
quickness and sharpness in selecting
merchandise are to be noted. The Eng
lishwoman is fond of simaicity-too
fond, perhaps. She timidly follows the
Parisienne in her coifures and pays
well and cheerfully. She is always
afraid of what is suggested mot suit
ing her" and has no idea what does
suit her. She is not hard to please, yet
at bottom she is never thoroughly sat
isfied because uncertain whether her
heaC is dressed exactly as it should be.
The Russian lady is the most taste
less woman alive. She is helpless in the
hands Of her hairdresser and has no
suggestions to offer. 1t may be that her
national headdress has prevented her
taste running on the coiffure. The Rus
sian lady has soft, quiet manners, but
scans bills with a suspicious eye. The
italian lady is a bad payer, hard to
please, stingy, and never more than
| half satisfied with a Partisan coiffure
She win write from Italy for dozen
imitation tortoise-shell hairpins costing
8 sous apiece. She had them at that
price in Paris and does not calculate the
loss Of time, and money too, that is in

assistant to the district post office. He

will protest against it as though she had
| fallen into the hands of thieves who

dies are the sweetest and most tasteful
| in Europe. Their manners are, perhaps,
better than those of the best Parish
ennes. They have in youth splendid

4 FORCED RIDE.
Confederate Soldiers Horse Dashes
Wildly Into the Enemy.

John Gilpin's famous ride was beaten
by one which a confederate soldier was
forced to take during an engagement
between Quirk's scouts and a regiment
of union cavalry. The two bodies of
soldiers We're standing face to face and
the bullets were flying thick and fast
through the air. The fight was des-
perate one, and each side seemed TO
stand its ground.
Suddenly, as the fight was at its hot
test, a horse dashed out of the confed-
crate line and started in a direct line
for the Yankee regiment. On the
horses back was a man named Eng
lish. who was leaning back in his sad
die and pulling with all his might in
futile attempt to stop his frightened
horse
The animal was yellow in color and
in running took long, clumsy jumps.
The rider finally saw that he could not
stop the frantic animal and he made
up his mind to make the best Of his
situation.
He leaned forward in his saddle until
his head almost touched his horses
neck, and his hands clasped the bride
near the bit Even the riders ears
effort to make himself as small as pos
sible. His face was as pale as death.
The Yankees saw the horse with its
rider making straight for them. Some
of the soldiers ceased firing and looked
excitedly at the half-maddened animal
flying toward them. He reached the
regiment, but did not stop The fed
erals almost fell upon each other in
their efforts to get away from the
horses heels.
The animal went plunging through
the center of the line of soldiers, foam
ing at the mouth and with head down,
and then dashed on through the regi-
ment, the soldiers making way for him
all down the line
Not a shot was fired until he had
got out of range, and then nearly
half of the regiment, who had man
aged to recover themselves from their
astonishment, fired. at a cloud Of dust
rising in the air, but the horse and rider
were at q safe distance.
The horse made a complete circle,
returning to the confederate company
in safety. When they saw their com
rade had returned without d scratch
from his dangerous ride, they almost
forgot the fight that was before them,
and there went up a great cheer.

WELDING METALLIC BODIES.
Royal Society OF Belgium Has Promul-
gated Some New Facts.

The Royal Society of Belgium has
published some additional facts in re
gard to the welding of metallic bodies
by means of simple pressure at temper
atures far below their fusing point. In
these researches the plan pursued was
to put the metals in the shape of eylin-
ders bounded by plain surfaces, great
care being also taken as to their purity,
and, having been mounted and welded
together by means of a hand-screw,
they were placed in heating oven and
kept at a constant temperature between
200 and 400 degrees for from three to
twelve hours. The result, a detailed,
shows the most perfect joints We're pro-
duced with gold, lead and tin, while the
worst were with bismuth and antimOny;
two cylinders thus welded together
could be put in a lathe. one of them only
being held in the chuck. while the other
was being worked upon by cutting tool
without coming apart. They could be
separated with the aid of pincers, but
then a rough breakage was produced
which did not coincide with the original
plane of separation. It appeared, too,
that the more crystalline the bodies, the
uefaction exhibited the commencement
of its appearance in the case Of plat
inum for instance, being al 1900 degrees
below its fusing point-that such liq-
uefaction or softening actually took
place being abundantly proved by eX-

A PECULIAR FALL.
Plunges Headfirst Into a Posthole Seven


Mrs. Sarah Lewis, of Sioux City, Ia,
is the victim of a peculiar accident,
from the effects of which she is not
likely ever fully to recover. During
the past few days the Home Telephone
Company has been digging holes all
over the city for poles to be used in con-
nection with its telephone system. Mrs
Lewis knew that several had been dug
in the vicinity of her house, but had
taken no particular notice of their To-
cation, and when she stepped to call
front of the house, she did not think it
necessary to look out for them. The
children did not prove to be as near as
she had expected. and pushing through
the tall grass along the sidewalk in
search of them she suddenly stumbled
over some obstruction and plunged
head first down one Of the holes. The
hole was feet deep, 20 inches in diam
eter at the top and % at the bottom, SO
that Mrs. Lewis, whose arms were pin
ioned at her sides, was unable to re-
leve the weight resting on her head.
She remained in this position for near
ly half an hour, when a passer-by hap
pened to hear her groans and pulled her
out. She was then able TO stand and
soon lapsed into unc6nsciousnes, in
which condition she has remained near
ly ever since. Her nervous system is
greatly shattered by the accident, and
it is feared her brain or spine may also
have been injured by the fall
