A Predicted Result of Cutting the Isthmus
 of Panama.
 ''The best scientific authorities pre- dict dire effects from the cutting of a canal through either the Isthmus of Panama or Tehuantepec. The late George R. Marsh said of this that a new ice period might be occasioned by the withdrawal of so important source of warmth from the northern zones, and Sir John Herschel wrote: Were the Isthmus of Panama broken through there is no doubt that the whole climate of our island Great Britain) would un- dergo a most notable deterioration. The sum of $9,00O,00O has been voted by the legislature of the state of New York for improving the Erie canal sys- ten; the Hennepin canal has had $1,- 200,G3G spent on it, and work has stopped until new appropriations can be made. Matt Quay is using his influence for the construction of a ship canal from Pitts burgh to Lake Erie, to cost 6,000,000, and ship canal from Philadelphia to New York, besides advocating the ex- penditure of So0 100000 in canalizing the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. One of the most stupendous of these engineering works is the Chicago drainage canal, now in progress, which is to cut the divide which bars the way between Chicago and the Mississippi river. The distance is only 30 miles between Lake Michigan and the Illinois river, and one can easily see the startling nature of d union of the great lakes and the father of waters.'"

The Perilous Plight of Soldier in Chi-

a
 nese Thibet.
 An amusing story is told of the Eng fish officer who determined to enter Chinese Thibet by stratagen. He man. so escaped the guard.
 On the following day, however, while the officer was journeying deeper into Thibet, the Thibetan soldiers overlook him, and informed him that as the country was unsafe because of rob- bers, they would go with him in order to protect him, to which arrangement the traveller was compelled to agree. In a few hours they came to river, which was crossed by rope bridge.
 The Thibetans passed over first, in or der to show that the bridge was safe, and then the official got into the moose and was pulled along by the Thibetans, Suddenly, however, they ceased pull ing, and left the Englishman hanging in nlidair above the rushing torrent.
 In vain the officer shouted to the Thibetans to pull. They merely smoked and nodded their heads. The hours passed, and still the officer hung above the torrent. At last the Thibetans agreed to pull him back if he would leave Tibet immediately. This, of course, he was compelled to do, and took his departure from the forbidden land,

A Pathetically Humorous Story Told Of a
 Cumberland Mountain Farnner.

A Periodically Humorous Story Told of
 Cumberland Mountain Farmer.
 writer in the Detroit Free Press tells a pathetically humorous story of a friend of his, Jack Negly, Cumber. land farmer. The writer had lent Jack a few dollars, with which to buy a pair of steers, and had received from him many visits of apology; for Jack was an honest man, and did not enjoy being in debt.
 He was a renter, and at least every other season he was occupying dlf- ferent farm. By my advice, he had moved the year before into an entirely new field, a dozen miles from his usual baunts. and I had not seen him for several months. When l did see him, at last, it was by accident as business called me into his neighhorhood. As I rode past his place he hailed me from the corn-feld and came out to the fence
 Hello" I exclaimed. ''Is this your farm?"
 "Yes, and I jist come over to tell you, colonel, that I'll be ready to pay part of that claim uv your n afore long.
 You must be doing well?''
 q think I'm doing fust-rate, and I'm powerful obleeged to you, colonel, fer hcadin' me this way.'
 ''I'm always glad to help, if l can."
 q knowed that, colonel, and that's why come away over here so fer rum bome Hits kinder strange to me, but ez long ez I'm doin' ez well ez am I'm a-goin' to stand hit
 Are you making any money"
 Jim's face frightened perceptibly.
 ''No, I ain't, colonel" he replied, hope fully; "but I'm losin' it slower'n ever done in my life afore.''
 It struck me as rather odd at first, but upon reflection I concluded that Jim might have reason for his hopefulness.

Effect of Tree Destruction,

The influence of forests in nrotectinp the water supply is well illustrated in the case of Greece. In ancient days she possessed 7,500,000 acres of forest. To- day she has hardly 100000 acres. and the scarcity of water and other injuri- ous climatic effects are traceable to the destruction of the trees. .

Pure Food and Drink.
The reason

your tea isn't good is: you get the wrong tea and you make it wrong.
 Boiling makes badtea worse and good tea so bad that you'd better drink water or anything else.
 The right way is this: bring your water to the boiling point, take it off the stove; put in your tea; let it stand six or eight minutes mo longer; then pour it.
 The right tea to use is SeA1ll,ng's Best-whether you drink Japan, Ceylon, Oolong, English Breakfast, or the de- licious Ideal Blend.

These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation.

fear and jealousy filled her soulas she
realized that his love for her must

and what was Lena Cumberland, who
had caused him to swerve from his
LOYALTY and devotion to his future wife,

that betokened extreme intimacy, not

Draining the Swamp.

Swamp lands vary greatly in the
cost of drainage, some being very cas-
lily drained, merely requiring good
outlet, and drains to catch the water
that comes down ON them from the
surrounding uplands, while others
having a hard and impervious subsoil
near the surface. require frequent
drains over the entire surface. Springy
swamps are usually the most difficult
TO drain well. as II Is necessary to so
cut the bitches as 10 tap the streams
Of water before 1t reaches the surface
and this requires much skin and ex-
perience. The nature of the vegetation
growing in a swamp will have con-
siderable influence on the cost of re-
clamation. Many swamps are ditched
and then left without any further at
tempt at rendering them productive.
the owners supposing that they being
rid OF their surplus water will, like
new-cleared upland, soon produce good
pasture without seeding. This is d
mistake; the old marsh vegetation is
firmly rooted, and though the drained
land is not we'll suited to its growth.
IL hangs ON and is replaced very slow
ly or not at all by better food, Now.
II we have TO spend any money at
all on these lands, the only way to
get 1t back is to keep working on them
I'LL they will grow good crops OF some
I kind, Cut OFF the brush and break IN

our swamp lands, when properly ditch
ed and cleared, are especially adapted
to grazing and the production of hay,
and for this reason are usually more
I profitable when owned and farmed In
connection with adjoining upland. this

farming is followed. Again the closer

/ cheaper II can be wo. led. In other
i words, II may be more profitable to
reclaim and work swamp than 60
around and beyond this swamp to pur-
chase upland, because the upland is
Farther away from the buildings. The
cost of fencing must also be considered
In looking at this subject, especially If

So long as the swamp is unproductive
the adjoining cultivated field must
bear the whole cost OF the fence be-
/ tween them; when the swamp Is
cleared we increase the productive
