THE PRESS.
Good Words for Mr.. Hazen.

The suggestion of the name of Hon.
L. D. Hazen Of ST. Johnsbury, for the
Republican gubernatorial nomina-
ton has called forth many evidences
in the state press of the high estima-
ton in which that gentleman is held
by all fortunate enough to possess his
acquaintance and competent to judge
of his many admirable qualities of
mind and character. The Messenger
is proud to be enrolled among the in
Vulnerable friends of Mr.. Hazen and
glad to add its testimony to his ster,
ling integrity, his marked business
capacity and splendid quality of his
citizenship. Senator Hazen is not a
snowy man, but he is UNNECESSARILY
to be preferred, a man who can be
"tied to- every time and everywhere.

when a person is unable to secure
from seven to ten hours OF quiet
sleep, something is wrong. If the
trouble arises from the neighbors'
cats or the frolics of belated jewellers,
the matter is not serious. But if he
finds his eyes wide open, his brain in
a whirl and his nerves tense after
striving for a while to WOO the
drowsy god in a comfortable bed, his
condition is a wholesome warning
that he is working too hard, worry,
ing too much, is eating something
which disagrees with him, or is on
the way to being attacked by some
disease. "-TThe Household.

We do not want the new woman
or the new man if they are too indie
pendent of home obligations. The
old-fashioned home, which is the out
come of the divine institution Of mar
riage, is the foundation of the only
civilization worth having, and when
states and individuals strike it down
or weaken it's influence they are in
viting social decentralization and

Chicago Main Drainage Channel

The great drainage canal at .hico,,

works Of constructive engineering
which have been attempted in this ce,-
tury. It's progress has been watched
with keen interest by sanitarians. en-
gineers interested in the novel and e.
fectlve machines for removing earth
n rock employed In its construction.
and by those who saw in this great
sewer q menace to the shipping inter.
ests Of the great lakes. Charles s. Eli,
associate editor of Engineering News,
q prepared a full history Of tie
causes which led to the undertaking Of
the work, a description of the machin.
cry and methods made use Of, and very
full tables Of the prices and costs Of
every part Of the work, taken from the
actual records of the contractors and
engineers. The book is really q reprint
of articles which have appeared in the
Engineering News during the veal
past, but with numerous additions and
~reviStons, which bring it up 70 date
and thus complete a full and accurate
account Of the enterprise. This is prac-
'tically the only form in which SO much
explicit and trustworthy information
can be obtained. There are over 100
maps and illustrations showing the de-
vices and plans for executing the work;
a chapter on administration" shows
the workings of the executive system
by which the 5000 or 5000 were con
troled, housed and fed, while The con
Guiding chapter sums up the salient
features of the %herculean task, when
was, as Mr.. Hill remarks. a problem
Of how to do work rather than OF wnaI
work to do. In the appendix the ques'
tons bearing on the effect of the WORK
on the level of the great lakes are fuHy
discussed, reports of United SiateS en
gineers, etc, being included.
