The rumor that the Panama canal con-
cession and franchise have been transferred
by the United States of Colombia to the
government of Great Britain may well
cause d sensation in Washington. If true
it means that while the United States has
been sleeping on it's supposed advantages
and rights England has been secretly at
work to checkmate us in regard to the
Nicaragua canal. The construction of the
Panama canal would be a work of stupen-
dous difficulty and cost as compared with
the Nicaragua canal, but as its construc-
ton and control would make Great Britain
the mistress of interoceanic commerce in
the western hemisphere and render
Nicaragua canal useless, the British gov
eminent could we'll afford to undertake the
work or back syndicate of British capital
lists in doing it. 1t is hoped the rumor may
prove untrue. If confirmed it will be
humiliating illustration of the stupidity of
American craftsmanship.

The main purpose of the writ of injunction

This statement shows Mr.. Bryans I'M

not true that 1.-The writ of injunction is
generally sought by employers who, after
combining among themselves. endeavor to
prevent cooperation among their en-
ployes." 1t has only been sought to arrest
or prevent anticipated trespasses or depre-
dations on property. There is no interfer-
ence with the right of trial by jury in for
bidding a man to commit certain trespass
or depreciation which he is believed to con-
template. A jury cannot try a question of
intention, and if it could the mischief
might be done before the trial was ended.
The function of a jury is to ascertain
whether certain alleged facts exist, and
the bill passed by the United States Senate
simply provides that before any person
shall be adjudged guilty of contempt by
violation of injunction the question
whether he has committed the overt act
shall be submitted to and determined by a
jury. Such a law may be well enough, but
it would not prevent and is not intended
to prevent the remedy by injunction against

Confederate Muskets.

Though the Confederate army,
when Gen. Lee surrendered, surren-
dered many thousand muskets," said
an ordnance officer of the army, Il
have great doubts if 100 of them are
still in the possession of the govern
ment. In the armories of the govern
ment in Illinois, Massachusetts and
California few may have been kept,
but there are but few. The War De-
partment has few, but the wagon
loads of them have disappeared, no one
knows exactly where. AS an arm the
rifles surrendered were without value
except in few commands where they
had secured modern guns. They were
hurriedly and cheaply made, generally
by contract work. | can't State now
exactly how many thousand muskets
there were, but there were at least 80,
600 recorded as having been surren-
dered. My own idea is that the most
of them were broken up as valuless,
though a great quantity Of them were
sold as junk and scrap iron. The can

The Peculiar Story It Tells to Those
Who Take Time to Observe 1t.
The faces of women one passes in the
street form curious story, says the
Family Doctor. One woman purses up
her lips, another screws her eyes into
unnaturalness, while a third will wrin-
kle up her forehead and eyebrows until
she looks absolutely ugly. The trick
is an unconscious one, but is none the
less trick, and bad one.
There is no reason why any woman
should look forbidding and bad-temper-
ed just because she is annoyed about
something. Deep-seated trouble has
way Of writing itself upon the face
whether we will or not. Sickness, too,
has it's handwriting, and will not be
concealed by art. But the frown caus-
ed by superficial trouble should not be
entertained by the face for an instant.
We should strive to look as pleasant
as possible for the sake Of others; q
corresponding cheerfulness Of tempera-
ment will inevitably result, and always
to the sweetening of our nature.
we cannot aIOru TO go ABOUT Will
gloomy faces. To depress others is not
for us; our work is to cheer, to raise
up, to comfort, but we shall never do
this unless we cultivate a pleasant de-
meanor, and the cheerful temper in
separable from it. This brings us to
that question of worry.
Can we put it more strongly than to
say that it is duty to put care, worry,
fretfulness behind one? The habit
must be learned, OF we shall not "grow
straight in the strength Of our spirit,
and live out our life as the light" as
Swinburne SO well puts it. ut is diff
cult to do that" says someone.
We all know that it is very hard, but
women are not afraid Of difficulties.
The more difficult the right thing is to
do, the greater reason for doing it. All
we need is to make the first effort
strength will be born which will In
crease at each subsequent attempt, and
we shall conquer it in the end. Saliva
ton for women lies in this-not to be
overcome by troubles, but to overcome
them.

splendid gauge Of personality. Not
fast or hard rules can be laid down
concerning it, Of course; but this much
may be said, at least: The girl who
behaves well, dresses well, and rides

outdoor exercise may be sure OF calling
