THE NICARAGUA CAy11.

The Manufacturers Record has done
useful work in trying to ascertain, the
opinions of the United States senator's
and representatives, concerning the
Nicaragua canal scheme. Eleven sena-
tors and one hundred and fifteen renre-
sentatives replied to its inquiry. The
senators who favored the construction
of the canal were Gallinger of New
Hampshire, morrill, of Vermont. FRYE of
Maine, Sherman Of Ohio, SQUIRE of
Washington, Morgan Of Alabama, Pal
mer of Illinois, Brice of Ohio, Pasco
of Florida and Daniels of Virginia
Several Of these were in favor of its
construction as national enterprise
but were opposed to extending govern
ment aid to a corporation. Others did
not appear to care who did the work
so long as the canal was constructed
Senator Morrill, thought the canal would
be of such Importance to our national
interests that the government could af-
ford to build it, even though at were

Wool dresses of mixed surface show

little braid. Wool gowns of smooth
cloth, or of lightly grooved crepon are
made with bodice, all but the sleeves, of

general effect being almost irridescent.
The brilliancy Of result is reinforced by
rows of beaded galoon. Such dresses
are very handsome and though it is
still true that plain colors can never
lack distinction when combined with
good cut and carriage, a wise choice of
material for new gown is a rough syr-
face wool rich with a. lot of combined
}tints and giving a general surface that
owns no dominant shade. These are
artistic and new.

Opposition to the saloon is the motive
of a national convention to be called to
meet in Washington under the auspices
of the Anti-Saloon League CT the Dis
trict Of Columbia. The movement has
the expressed sympathy of nearly all
the temperance organizations in the
country, sectarian lines being forgotten
in combined fight against what is
regarded as a common enemy. Bishop
Hurst and Archbishop ireland tender
their cooperation, and participation in
the convention is promised by the Ma
tional Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, the Templars, the Christian En-
deavorers, the Sons of Temperance, the
Unitarian Temperance Society, the
Connecticut Temperance Union, the
American Purity Alliance, the Epworth
League, the Ohio Anti-Saloon League
the New Hampshire Law and Order
League, and the National Negro Tenn
perance Congress. The idea of the con-
vention was probably suggested by the
recent meeting in Washington of the
National Retail Liquor-Dealers' Asso-
citation.

sational preacher named Ford, in the
town of st. Louis, central Michigan, last
Sunday The church was decorated with
profusion of all the implements used
in playing baseball, and in his sermon
the minister compared features of the
game with phases Of life. He spoke of
the pitchers nerve and likened him to
the Christian soldier; said that the first
base was meditation, the second convic-
ton, the third repentance, and the home
plate heaven; dilated on the qualities
OF the batsman, the catcher, and the
short stop, but, to the disgust of the
cranks in the audience, utterly ignored
the umpire and the rooters.

why Some women Do Not Marry

One such woman was used to attack
a new science or language every year,
and, failing, from her lack of teacher
or companion, would pile the text
books in heaps until walls of dusty vol.
umeS shut in every room of the house
She fell at last into state of semi
idiocy, and wandered like a ghost
around the village, jabbering scraps Of
foreign tongues which she did not un.
derstand. 1t is hereditary habit in
certain families for the women who
have grief to shut themselves into a
single room. and remain there for ten
twenty, thirty years. Nor are the NOR
bid fancies of these women always
gloomy and sad. They live sometimes
in an enchanted land of their own One
whom | know, woman of sensuous
temperament and motherly instincts,
refused to marry a man whom She
loved because he had gone to live in
another town, and she would be forced
to leave the old house and half acre
which were the center of the world to
her. The courtship went on for forty
Years, but she was true to the house.
Another drove her lover away on the
day of the wedding because she could
not bring herself to change the name
of Wonson for any other. He was rich
and she was poor; he remained faith

Old Miss Dinl1er called in high dud-
geon upon the schoolmistress, and re-
monstrated in vain. The fact that she
stole a spelling book during her brief
stay did not further her object. When
little boy was sent for it at dusk Jane
wished herself dead again. If only she
could have had pride in anything or
anyone, she thought; but life was all
shame to her.
Habits are hard to break" she said,
but III try. Only you oughtn't to be
so hard on me when Eve stuck to you
So" And then she revealed plan
which she mad concocted for giving the
boy an education. IN put him to the
best school in New York" she said.
III keep the story that they tell-lie,
as it is-to myself, and I'll pay his bills
regular. 'Tain't likely I'm agoing to
see him grow up without eddication.
Wen make him a clergyman or doc
tor. Wen snap our fingers in the
faces of these critters. I'll take him
up myself tomorrow and he shall come
down every Saturday night
Il shall miss him So" said Jane.
But it's for his good, and thank you,
aunt"
So Jane spent the night in tears, and
in the morning Aunt Dinller went to
the city, taking with her little Richard.
Jane suffered great deal that day,
and when at night she saw Aunt
Dinker return alone she could not find
voice to speak to her. But the old
lady was in good spirits. She sat down
before the fire with her shawl on, and
told Jane how pleased Richard was
with the journey and how Miss Speers
had admired him. And Jane brought
her the tea, and she took it sitting by
the fire, but still kept her shawl on;
and, moreover, the shawl looked Curl
ously thick and bunchy.
Once before had Jane seen the same
thing, and it had resulted in the APP
pearancc of somebody's workbox. Her
heart misgave her.
'Aunty," she said. in trembling tones,
ARE you cold?'
Not particularly, said Miss Dinller
Then shan't take your shawl?"

Jane was silent. Old Miss Dinker
fidgeted. Finally Jane burst into re-
proaches.

How Big Was Adam?

There are hardly any truthful rec
ords of the giants of the past, though
literature is full of wondrous tales
about them. A French academ ician,
NJ. Henrion, once estimated the height
of Adam to be 123 feet, and that of
Eve 1lS, proportions that must have
appeared most formidable to the SER
pent, and made the proposition for
apples seem somewhat trivial thing
The same authority brings Abraham
down to twenty-eight feet, and makes
Moses only thirteen. Goliath's re-
corded height is, however, only nine
feet nine inches, which is within the
bounds of possibility. Pliny speaks Of
seeing giantess ten feet two inches
in height, and skeleton seventy feet
long. There are weird stories of the
Emperor MaXimilian, who was reputed
to be nine feet high, and to have eaten
forty pounds OF meat day. =

and tabooed her. | think some of the
dearest creatures would have tarred
and feathered her if they could. Jane
Dinker had the comfortable Yankee
pride of ''respectabillty' in it's Yankee
sense strong within her soul, and this
ScOrn quite crushed her. She hid her
self from human eyes as much as pos
sible, and went thankfully home with
old Miss Dinler, whose income had
grown smaller in these years, aud
who really showed great generosity in
taking her disgraced niece to her
bosom.
And now that she had countenanced
poor Jane and opened her house TO
her, she also had lost her friends,
and people grew hard upon her.
