PANAMA CANALS CONDITION.
British. Consular Report Upon Its
Status and Outlook.

From the London Times
The British consular officers at Panama
and Santa Martha describe in their last
reports the present condition of the work
on the canal across the isthmus and of the
railway connecting the Atlantic with the
Pacific The New Canal Company. formed
in Paris in 1894 to continue and complete
a ten-lock canal rising to a maximum alti-
tude 1873 feet inches in place Of the orig
lnal sea-level scheme of NJ. de Lesseps. has
made good progress with the small capital
at its disposal, and the reduced canal
trough, or cunette, in the Emperador and
Culebra sections Is now assuming definite
proportions Although the end in view was
the final completion Of the canal. 1t could
hardly have been supposed that this great
undertaking could have terminated and the
canal opened for maritime traffic with only
E2,5OOO0O, Of which only about half was to
be spent on the canal proper The work is
OF purely experimental character in Or
der TO demonstrate that lock canal Is
feasible II consists Of a watercourse 9SIa
feet wide at the surface, with half that
depth of bed
About 60000,000 have been raised since
the inception of the scheme sixteen wears
ago for the purpose Of the canal and have
been spent IN one way or another The
AhllWdy from NiOlOn 10 ldndHd was con-
structed in 1865 by a company registered
in New York. of which Mr. AspinwaIl
was the leading spirit. The concession
expires in 1866. and costs the company
s2J0.0OO year. Almost the whole OF the
shares are held by the canal company
During the ten years preceding 1893 the
company paid an average dividend OF "
per cent. per anuum; but during the last
four years the net earnings have been
applied 60 the purchase OF three large

My Lady's Fair Face and How to

From Harper's Bazaar.
There is many a girl who is disposed to
dread summer as a season when old Sol
is permitted to feed at will upon her count
enance. to the undoing of the prettiest
complexion; and. naturally enough as it
is the time of outdoor life-of boating, Of
lingering near If not actually in the salt
sea wave. and of indulgng in all those
pleasures that unite in the creation of the
uncOveted freckle. A pleasing tan. which
produces the effect of an even coat of
ochre brushed over the face and throat
can be endured with a moderate degree
of resignation. Sunburn, though unbe-
coming and painful. has the charming ad-
vantage of being only temporary. But the
freckle. in all its mottled profusion, gives
its usually sensitive possessor the feeling
of being an eyesore.
Now. whatever may be said about only
the whitest skins freclding. it is no con-
ISOLATION TO the white-skinned ones to no.
tice after every exposure to the forcing
summer light that their faces are growing
10 look more like some goods Of bizarre
polka dot pattern.
In preparation for the campaign against
the tawny freckle as well as against the
less enduring disfgurements OF the warm
season, loads Of ammunition in the form
of beaches and lotions and WhiteWaShy
mixtures are carried to mountain and sea-
shore and country each year. There are,
however, many women and girls who
would rather endure the Affections that
beset the complexion from exposure than
make a sort Of salad OF the countenance
az night by the application of oils and
vinegars and as they consider them, kin
dred unclean mixtures.
But really there is no reason 10 challenge
