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

A Predicted Result of Cutting the Isthmus
 of Panama.
 'sThe 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 importNt 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 $9,000,000 has been voted by the legislature of the state of New York for improving the Erie canal sys- tenn; the Hennepin canal has had ST. 100000 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 S16,000,000, and 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.'"

HUNG IN MIDAIR.
The Perilous Plight of Soldier in Chi
 nose Thibet.

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 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.

 Goods.

Goods.
 \ singular story is reported from St. Calais. A few days ago several per sons were sitting at a table iii q local hotel, when the splendid nustache of q horse dealer became the subject of conversation. One of the members of the party complimented the horse deal ez and asked him for what price he would sell his mustache. '"Ten francs, ;" replied the latter, laughingly. q will buy half of them,' said the would-be purchaser, placing five francs on the table. The horse dealer put the money in his pocket and later in the evening left the hotel. Not quite approaching the joke, the man who was minus the five francs sought the aid of the county court process server, and having laid the information in regular form brought action against the horse dealer for 800 francs damages for non-execu- tion of his contract.

/ HAD BEGUN 10 PROSPER.
A Pathetically Humorous Story Told or
 Cumberland Mountain Farmer.

A Periodically Humorous Story Told or
 Cumberland Mountain Farmer.
 A writer in the Detroit Free Press tells pathetically humorous story of a friend of his, Jack Negly, a Cumber. land farmer. The writer had lent Jack a few dollars, with which to buy par of steers, and had received from hlm 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 dl1- ferent farm. By my advice, he had moved the year before into an entirely new field, 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-feld and came out to the fence.
 s.Hello," I exclaimed. "1s this your farm?''
 e- ''Yes, and I jist come over to tell you, colonel, that Til be ready to pay part of that claim uv your'n afore long,"
 "You must be doing well?' s5
 q think I'm doing fust-rate, and I'm powerful obleeged to you, colonel, fer headin' me this way"
 'Tm always glad to help, if l can."
 'I knowed that, colonel, and that's why come away over here so fer rum home. Hits kinder strange to me, but ez long ez I'm doin' ez well ez am I'm a-goin' to stand it. tt.''
 Are you making any money?' ?'
 Jim's face frightened perceptibly.
 ''No, I ain't. colonel" hcreplied, hope fully; ''but I'm Ios;n' it siower'n ever done in my life afore.
 1t struck me as1ather odd at first, but upon reflection I concluded that Jim might have reason for his hopefulness.

Ousky POlIteness.

A story of the colored mans fondness for good words is furnished by the New York Tribune. It is well up to date, and is about a venerable Philadelphia butler:
 He was helping a visitor to put on her walking jacket the other day, and seeing her struggling to push in her rebellious big sleeves, he said, in his most respectful manner:
 "P'r'aps you will hab de goodness to allow me to suppress dem putfs, madam.'

The Grill sergeant, who is the artificer of German fortunes, has had no ascendency in these islands, whose preoccnpations have not risen from mil itary empires on their boundaries. Maya, superiority has been the guarantee of our shores, and at the same time the foundation of an empire which has grown up beyond the seas. The same qualities whichachieved ordered liberty at home spread commerce, settlements and empires abroad.

A NatlVe uners an ExplanatiOn-Britain's
 Naval Superiority.
 How was it that talf an island over which Queen Elizabeth ruled developed into the worldwide empire over which Queen Victoria reigns? First and fore most, says Blackwood's Magazine, it must be referred to the qualities of the race, their energy and adventurous spirit, their capacity to colonize. to rule subject races, and to administer their affairs. That race was sprung of sue cessiye seafaring invoders of these is- lands who were trained for generations in the arduous defense of these shores, and taught to achieve naval superior ity as necessity of their position.

THE TRAMPs SCATTER,
Efficient Device of the Associated Chari-
ties for the Abating of a
NuYSauce.

The class Of mendicants known as "dis.
pensary BEATS received some considera.
ton at yesterdays meeting of tbs Asso-
ciated Charities. B. P. Flint, the regis.
trar, presided, and among those present
were the Rev. W. G. Elliott, Mrs. M. f.
Kincaid, Miss Virginia Fitch, CAPTAIN
Eldridge, Osgood Putnam and S. M. Levy.
1t was remarked that for long time
past persons have been receiving free
medical treatment at the Cooper Medical
College and the San Francisco Polyclinic
who were in no proper sense objects of
charity. One of the ladies present said she
had heard of people having property to the
extent OF $50. 600 and over, who scrupled
not to play the pauper when unwell in
order to get free treatment. The surgeons
at. length complained of the extra work.
and both institutions have arranged with
the Associated Charities to investigate the
financial standing of applicants for relief
Mr.. Flint reported that the visits OF
tramps to the society rooms had fallen
OFF to notable degree. The society, it
appears, has opened an extensive wood
yard, wherein healthy male applicants for
aid are sure of unlimited ak and hatche et
practice, being paid for their work in meal
and lodging tickets, but never in money
This mode of relief seems by no means
popular with a large proportion of the
society's would-be benefciaries, who in
consequence have no further use for the
Associated Charities. Mr.. Flint, in fact
said the woodward was in a languishino
condition, the harvest being great, but the
laborers few. At all events the few
tram.ps who apply to the society for relief
are In every case new arrivals, and ON
being directed to the woodward vanish
Tor the most part, never to return.
Seventy-one cases of destitution were
relleved during the week, forty-seven o]
which were new.. The proportion d
SICK applicants was unusually large

Hebbard because the ceremony was agreed to

"We can only lament the pitiable ignorance

Luther's edition of the New Testament was

Now, ii we consult the catalogue of the Brit

The last years crop was a heavy ore as
to berry. and choice as TO color, and we
expected good mating barley Ia this
we were disappointed. as the barley
turnd out to be the most ditiiru TO malt
of any that has ever been raised IN this
cannty. BY series of comparative
ANALYSES made in our laboratory, of malt
made from Wisconsin barley and malt
made from Minnesota barley, We fad
that the Minnesota barley malt gives an
extractive or sugar yield, far IN excess of
that made from Wisconsin barley. AS
the extract 10 malt gives to 1t Its market
able value, the consequence Is that Wis
coneln barley is worth less commercially
by three to four cents than Minnesota
barley This is Il serious matter for orr

interests are identical.
The canse for this degeneration may
be looked for in the exhausted condition
