THE OLD BELL COW.

When was but boy used SO happily to
roam
Through every nook and corner Of the dear
old country home.
AT dewy morn to pasture would drive
the cows, and when
The sun was fading In the west drove
them home again.
There was one among their number re-
member very we'll.
1t seems but yesterday saw the COW that
wore the bell.
She wasn't any prettier nor Of better
breed,
But all the others followed her wherever
she would lead;
And In my youthful mind used to wonder
why and how
It was that all the cattle tagged the old
bell COW.
Strange years of shadow and Of shine have
passed away since then.
And now mingle daily with the busy
hosts of men,
And still 1 muse as earnestly as what I
used to do,
For men. find, are likewise quite peculiar
creatures, too.
And some have natures made Of gold. with
out speck or flaw,
While some are only gilded forms all
padded out with straw.
And while the modest, worthy man the
world may never heed:
The counterfeit. who loudly brags, steps
in and takns the lead.
The one who "toots his horn is sure to
get the crowd, and now
know why all the cattle tagged the old
bell COW.

TO STUDY BIG CANALS.

Rial. William Ludlow VIII Travel In the
Interests of Nicaragua Canal.
An evidence that the report of the
Nicaragua canal commission now in the
hands of President Cleveland does not
ronclusively find the proposed inter-
oceanic American waterway infeasible
or its construction by the United States
impossible, is shown in the fact that
Maj. William Ludlow, chairman of the
commission, is about to leave London,
where he is the military attache of the
American embassy, on tour of ship
canal inspection, to familiarize him
self with the great artificial water
ways. the physical difficulties which
have been surmounted in constructing
them and the economic changes that
they have wrought in marine trans
portation. After studying the Suez
waterway in Egypt, Maj. Ludlow is to
visit the Corinth canal in Greece, the
famous Kiel cut in Germany. the North
Holland and Amsterdam artificial ports,
and. after returning to England, the
Manchester ship canal and the Gale
DOMAIN system of interior navigation.
In addition to an examination of the
engineering features Of these works
and their adaptation to the problems
to be solved in constructing canal
across the American isthmus, Mai.
Ludlow is expected to secure new data
upon the likelihood of either the Mica
ragua or Panama canals becoming pay
ing investments.
