ANOTHER ICE PERIOD.
A Predicted Result of Cutting the Isthmus
 of Panama.

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,OO0,000 has been voted by the legislature of the state of New York for improving the Erie canal sys- tenn; the Fennepin canal has had $1,- 100000 spent on it, and work has stopped until new appropriations can be made. Matt Quay is using his influence fer the construction of ship canal from Pitts burgh to Lake Erie, to cost 5000, ,000, and a ship canal from Philadelphia to New York, besides advocating the eX- penditure of $50, 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.'"

A Periodically Humorous Story Told Of a
 Cumberland Mountain Farmer.

A PatheticalIy Humorous Story Told Of
 Cumberland Mountain Farmer.
 A 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 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 renter, and at least every other season he was occupying d1- 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 I did see him, at last, it was by accident as business called me into his neighborhood. As I rode past his place he hailed me from the corn-field 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 headin' me this way"
 ''I'm always glad to help, if l can." a q knowed that, colonel, and that's why I 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.

nese Thibet.
 An amusing story is told of the Eng fish officer who determined to enter Chinese Thibet by stratagen. He man. aged to cross the frontier at night, and 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 few hours they came to river, which was crossed by a 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 midair 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.
