On English Canals.

The navigation Of the canals, as most OF
US are aware, is almost entirely dependent
upon horse power, and many are the won
derful stories told Of the sagacity Of these
tow horses, who very soon learn their work,
as we'll as do their drivers, and are fire.
quently left for long distances completely
to themselves. In some districts the canal
paths run on one side for time and then
STOP being continued opposite. Where this
is the case the horses, if no bridge exists,
must cross over in the boat itself, and on
one river where this changing Of sides Is
very frequent the writer has repeatedly
seen O horse without rider or driver near
him, and with only one man in the boat,
increase his speed as he approaches the
termination Of the path, so as to give the
barge sufficient velocity to curry him
across, await it's arrival at the bank, and
as it comes up and goes about take leap
aboard over space of from five to six feet.
Here he waits patiently until he reaches
the other side, when as coolly and de-
liberately he leaps ashore, feels his towline
and lays himself quietly to his work again.
But there is live stock more directly asso-
ciated with the boat than even the horse,
which, after all, is but hired for time.
A cat and dog are nearly always to be
seen aboard, aud sometimes there are rab-
bits and little poultry, though whence
that comes it may not always do to inquire
too curiously. A monkey, too, is an oc-
casional addition to the household, while
even q goat has been seen running back
ward and forward on the deck rs much at
homo as though on his native heath

Women In Mems Parts

On June 25, 1905 Congreve's Love For
Love" was represented at the Haymarket
entirely by women. Prominent among q
motley troop of players acting at Windsor
in the following year was one Susanna
Carroll, who tore passion to tatters as
Alexander the Great. BY a marriage with
the queens head cook this lady subse-
uuently became Mrs Centlivre, under
which name, as authoress of several lively
comedies, she is best identified now. 1t
was written Of her, on her death in 1923,
that, "having greater inclination to wear
the breeches than the petticoat, she struck
into the men S parts" one of her qualifica-
tions for which was that she chad small
wen on her left eyelid, which gave her
masculine air"
Possibly the adaptability to male roles
shown by the women at the Haymarket in
1905 suggested to Vanbrugh the ingenious
plot of his comedy, 1.-The Mistake, "
brought out at the same house year later.
In this Mrs Harcourt appeared as Camil-
10, "suppos'd son Of Alvarez" ," girl who,
from lack of q male heir, had been reared
from her cradle as one of the opposite sex
to preserve an estate Naturally there is
much playing at cross purposes, with
adruit love complications, and the whole,
not to come tardy off, must have needed
deft handling on the part of the actress

The Modern Steam Engine.

1t Is q matter of wonder for an old time
steam engineer to go over modern gener-
ating engine at this day and observe its
many accessories. Taking one Of the most
advanced, he will find lubricating devices
for all joints with motion, the oil all col
lected by drains to one point, filtered and
cleaned, and then returned by pump to
the oil cups to be again circulated auto
matically. The fixed bearings Of high
speed engines will be water jacketed to
prevent heating, and there will be world
of indicating devices for speed, pressure,
vacuum, temperature and time. The con-
densing water will pass through filters to
extract the oil that is entrained from the
cylinders, and separators are provided to
catch the water in the steam. Most Of
these things have come from the sea, where
economy and completeness have outrun
land practice in wonderful degree.
In the steam generating elements there
are the same additions and elaboration, all
tending to economy, but demanding new
class of engineers with a knowledge and
training that older practice did not afford
moro knowledge and less work because
all things are automatic, even to firing.
Results, too, are of a nature not imagin-
able 20 years ago, especially in respect to
control of speed. One may stand along
side of a 1000 horsepower engine when
the resistance changes as l to 10, and
neither hear nor see nor even feel a sign
Of such change. 1t is master achieve
ment in mechanical art and a result Of CO.
operative effort on the part Of hundreds,
or even thousands, of the most skilled men
OF the age.-Cassier' Magazine.

CauRes of Headache.

The ordinary headache which is 80 ex-
tremely common among the inhabitants of
our Atlantic seaboard towns is the out
come of conditions affecting the nerves
through impoverished blood containing
poisonous matter absorbed from badly d.
gested food. So called liver torpidity and
the catarrhal affections due to our change
able climate also aid in effecting its spread.
Nervous exhaustion, due to irregular and
fast living, plays an important part in its
causation. Nervous strain, especially OF
the eyes, and inhamed tissues about the In
ternal bones of the nose are special causes.
Nerve irritation, which is but poorly under
stood by the general reeder, is o prolific
cause of so called nervous headache. know
of no more dangerous practice than to treat
headache pain blindly with drugs. or
course outdoor exercise is the best possible
thing for permanent cure 1t Is very easy
to relieve most forms of headache by means
of the coal tar derivatives, Of which 30
many are in the drug market. These form
the basis of the many headache cures found
on the druggists shelves. Their use Is not
entirely without danger, for they ore pow
erful heart depressants If taken in doses OF
any considerable size.-Dr. Cyrus Edison

Wheat.

While it is too early to sow wheat,
the preparation should begin in time,
because wheat loves clean, deeply
plowed bed, which has been allowed
to settle again and then brought to a
fine tilth, for which reason it can
scarcely be rolled and narrowed too
often previous to putting in the seed.
High lands and red soils are best suited
to this crop. At the south, the crops is
uncertain, but each farmer should at
least put in enough to supply home
wants, and on account of the saving
in seed and the improved condition OF
the land for other crops, should the
wheat fail, it is better to concetrate the
the preparation and manure on linn.
tied area, rather, thai. depend on a
larger area lightly manured and poorly
prepared. The wheat crop should be
sown accordingly to locality, about ten
days before the usual killing frost.
The sowing of these grain crops in
the fall, and also the seeding OF the
grasses and clovers, accomplishes 8
two fold object we add other crops tc
our farm supplies, and, by thus cover,
ing the bare fields, we prevent the
teaching and washing SO painful to see
on the farm where only the summer
crops are cultivated. We must learn
that our farming is an all-the-yeal
business, and that it is just as im
portant to protect our lands the latter
part of the year as to cultivate anC
gather crops from them in the regular
seasons during the proceeding months
1t is fact now generally understood
that cotton perse has received much o
the criticism which should have beer
bestowed on our careless system 0
culture---on the habit we have formed
of clearing our lands of everything
even the protection which nature
would spread over them, and then leav
ing the bare fields to the mercy of th'
scorching suns and deluging rains.--

The Subject Being Education.

Mr. McWhorter, q correspondent, writes an
article on education, which will be read.
Like nearly everybody who writes on edu-
cation, Mr.. McWhorter seems to assume that
every boy or girl may be educated"
Before one can discuss that question proper
ly the meaning OF the word "education
should be defined or accepted.
What does it mean? 1t may mean one
thing or another. Some men are educated
In the use of their hands in one Of the many
pursuits Some men think that education
refers only to the cultivation OF the mind.
Assuming that Mr.. McWhorter meant that
"education" which boy is supposed to re-
ceive in the schools OF the country, he forgets
the very foundation upon which to build.
boy must have a brain and something to
think with before he can be educated.
There is not more than one man in ten that
needs TO waste time In studying books after
he has learned to read, write and cipher.
Nine men out of ten must earn their living
In the practical pursuits of life, and youth is
the time to learn the lessons in the bus
mess which will bring success in after life.
Ninetenths OF our daughters waste time
and money and energy to make music by
knocking the keys of an old piano. Unless
q girl has musical talent, IT Is absolute
waste for her try to study music.
And so, boy with feeble mind, or one
which is lazy or inactive, is wasting his time
seeking the learned pursuits in which he is
sure to be miserable failure, when he might
make good mechanic, or good ditcher, or q
good herder OF cattle.
A boy without mind can no more be made
a great man by education" than pewter
mug may be transformed into silver pitcher
by scrubbing it.
A man who marries fool or a cackline
goose need spend no large amount In educat
ing his boys. A lightweight mother neve
had talented son. The woman who marie
a simpleton need not indulge any idea tina
her son will be President Of the United
States.
The first thing 10 determine is, whether th
boy has got any brains. If he Is the joint sol
of simpleton and a caekling goose, he cal
only be a goody.goody boy-never brain.

DANGEROUS Books.

The Texas Christian Advocate scores
a good point thus: "a great many
books, while not professedly skeptical
or irreligious, chill the feeling of devo-
ton. There are volumes which, while
they do not positively undermine or
destroy our faith, leave Us with less OF
the glow of worship and the rapture
Our thought may not capitulate to
the argument, but the heart feels the
whitening blight. 1t woul ld be easy TO
catalogue number of volumes whose
intellectual benefit is counteracted by
the loss of the warmth and ioyousness
of tie spiritual life. 70 meddle with
rationalistic works cleaning with the
fascination of genious is dangerous
enterprise for if they do NOT damage
our faith in religion they will at least
substitute cold and barren intellec-
tuallism for the life and fire of con-
scious alteration.
