MANCAgsTER'S SHIP CANAL.
1t Is Beginning Ia L""m Up as "A Large
sized White Elephant.

1t appears that the people of Man
chester are beginning to find that their
vaunted ship canal is something of an
elephant on their hands. The chairman
of the canal company has submitted to
the municipal authorities report which
does not make them feel very good
His figures show that at the end of the
current year the canal deficit will
amount to Gag, S6?, and unless some
thing can be done about it, nobody
knows exactly what, the city will have
to meet the interest of the bonds In
1896. which means an increase of taxa
ton of shilling : y pence on the
pound. or about s per cent.
1t appears, too, that the canal COM
many has entered into sundry obligations
which the corporation knew nothing
about and 60 meet which will make a
tremendous drain even ON the resources
of the corporation. The canal will,
moreover. have to keep dredges at work
at n cost of about $50, 600 year, and
more capital is called for to meet the
extra expenses of digging the canal.
The chairman advises the taxpayers
70 make no further pledges to the cana
and announces that he proposes to re
sign the position of chairman, as he
does not feel equal to the task of extri
eating the canal from its difficulties
This all makes showing very different
from the roseate reports of the cana
which have been coming across the wa
ter.-New Orleans Picayune.

THE BULL MOOSE.
An Adventure with One of These Animals

An Adventure With One OF These Animals
When 1t Hunted the Hunter.
A correspondent writing from Mecu-
noma, Muskoka, gives an interesting &C
count of an adventure which he had
with moose while employed in making
a toboggan trail through one Of the pine
forests in that section of the country.
While engaged at work he came across a
moose ward and on looking around saw
one of the giants of the forest" about
90 yards distant The story of his en-
counter is perhaps best told i'll the cor
respondents own words:
after Il moment" he writes, the
moose turned and walked behind hill,
which, though not high, was steep.

get a view of the lordly creature as he
made his way through the bush. | could
not see him at first, but on looking down
the steep incline there he was, not ten
yards away He turned to make off, but
striking his ribs against the projecting
limb of a small hemlOck he was thrown
down and around the tree, and as he
rose he faced me. 1t was now my turn
to run, for the moose charged at me
with erected name, expressing his rage
by fierce below. In turning | STUN

my snowshoes were of more use to me.
The moose still pursued me, roaring at

If there can be degrees of meanness
in forgery, the manufacture of sham
pennies with intent to betray the conf
dence Of slots must surely form the low
est of them. A man was sentenced to
IA days Imprisonment at the Mansion
House yesterday for using counterfeits
of this description to minister to guilty
passion for chocolate. His sham pennies
were of iron, and no doubt were made
with some care as to circumference and
weight, to enable them to answer their

Working Up a Climax.

AS he entered the barber shop Che was
a prominent official Of the Duluth road,
very prominent 50 near the top that he
might be described as the top ITSELF, he
sat down in the chair and the barber
went to work on his we'll dOmed poll
The barber was a cheerful man, fond
Of social intercourse and rather prided
himself ON his powers as a conversation
ist So when he felt the head of the
Duluth official with his taper fingers, he
thought he would astonish and please
him with some conversation and per
haps the official would in turn write out
a ten years pass on piece of shaving

So the barber was light and merry,
learned and philosophical by turns, and
was we'll pleased with the expression
that stole over the officials face, so full
of appreciation was it, He knew that he
would handle pour boire of quarter,
if he did not get the pass. He was de-
termined to please, and when the official
asked him if he had any cotton handy
the barber said he thought he had. He
sent quickly to store and secured a
small supply of the cotton, and giving 1t
to the official that gentleman took two
small fragments and put them III his
ears.
