From Lake to Ocean.

The Canadian government has for
several years past been working out
Systematically a general scheme OF
canal improvement. This scheme,
as outlined by the Pittsburg Dis
patch, embraces the enlargement OF
waterways between tide water and
Lake Superior so that the locks
shall have a length of 270 feet be-
tween the gates and u width Of 40
feet, the navigable depth of water
over the stills to be fourteen feet.
Work has been steadily pushed for
ward and no year passes without
seeing more or less satisfactory prog
ress made The scheme is INFER
national in its scope. both as to the
outlay which would be necessary and
the ultimate benefits which would ac-
crue. It's purpose embraces the con-
struction of deep water channels OF
not less than twenty-one feet in
depth to connect the great lakes with
the Atlantic ocean by way OF the st.
Lawrence river and also by way OF
the Hudson river. Moreover, the
scheme embraces the construction OF
canals connecting Lake Superior
with the Mississippi river and Lake
Erie with the Ohio river. 1t favors
the establishment of an international
commission for determining the
method OF construction and maint-
enance OF waterways OF an inter-
national character, also the estab.
lishment OF an international court
for the purpose Of hearing and finally
determining, under rules OF law, all
questions arising between the gov
eminent of the United States, Great
Britain, Mexico and Canada, both the
commission and the court to be estab-
lished by the joint action OF the gov
ernments.

barks. On his return home he men,

New York chivaIry.

Tie old woman who for years has
sold papers upon the steps of the old
Herald building, at Ann street and
Broadway, was ruined and restored
to fortune in less than one minute
the other day.
The incident is chiefly notable be-
cause it developed the fact that
chivalry still swells in the bosom of
tie universal New Yorker, high and
low.
In an unguarded moment the wind
caught her stock of papers, and
away they went like flock of white
pigeons. She raised cry and the
great crowd broke ranks and started
each man after a paper. She got
them all back in few minutes
fifty newspapers. and man for
each one. A well dressed man who
had overtaken and captured one
kept 1t and dropped her a quarter.

Temperance In Alaska.

A very curious temperance society
exists in the Siberian village of Ash
lyka. Every year in September the
members meet in the church and
make solemn promise to abstain
from wine and spirits for a whole
year. They also sign an agreement
that any person breaking the pledge
shall pay fine Of twenty-five rubles
into the church and submit to be spat
upon by his more continent fellows.
The most peculiar feature Of the
whole business, however, is that the
members on the one day of the year
when the pledge expires allow them
selves wine and brandy during the
few hours which intervene before the
pledge for the ensuing year is made.

Fancy vests of pique and bright
colored vesting are shown with the
new tailor gowns, and are very SINH
lar to those worn last season.
Street dresses of plain cloth, not
tailor made, have sleeves and bodice
like the skirt. One made of light
tan cloth has a very full, plain skirt,
a plain waist with full blouse front,
which pinches little over the belt,
of bright plaid silk, and is made
whole to fasten on the shoulder and
under the arm. The belt fastens at
the back under full, short bow, and
the neck band is of dark red velvet,
of one Of the shades in the plaid.
Over this is turn down collar of
white batiste, trimmed with rows of
narrow cream lace Cuffs of this
material turn back over the red vel
vet cuffs which finish the sleeves.
One Of the marked features Of the
present fashions is the use OF one
material over another so that both
can be seen. And sometimes three
materials are employed, as, for ex-
ample, lace over chiffon for blouse
waist and these made over satin or
silk.

THE BELLS OF TRINITY.

Beneath the bells of Trinity
A human sea by day
Dsshes its waves against the wall
OF buildings vast and grim and TALL.
And dashes into spray
Along the shore of that sad street
Where wreck is swift and ruin feet
And Mammon holds his sway.
The Ginning bells of Trinity
Above that turbid tide
Seem to recall the days of yore
When burghers' homesteads fiecked the
shore;
And DER the ocean wide
Sloop. snow and pinnace labored slow
And Indians stalked the streets below
In all their native pride.
Beneath the bells of Trinity
The moons caressing beams
by night shine on SO still spot
Where sleep the dead so long forgot.
That i'm the hush 1t seems
That all the rabble rout of trade
Which yesterday such clamor made
Is but the stuff of dreams.
