ANCIENT CANAL PROJECT.

Agitation Began in Days of Miles
Standish.
New York Post: Agitation for a ca
nal across Cape Cod began in the days
of Miles Standish It took the form of
an application for charter in 1898,
and early in the present century the
matter was brought to the attention of
Congress. Thereafter the subject was
periodically discussed, sometimes in
the messages of Massachusetts Cover
nors, and several attempts have been
made to find the necessary capital. The
present movement, with the approval
of Governor WOlcott, is an effort to Sc
cure the cooperation of the state in.
the employment of the convicts as
ditch-diggers, the bill before the Legis-
lature for that purpose providing that
the commissioner of prisons and the
board of harbor and land commission
ers shall act jointly as canal commits
sion. Dilating on the advantages Of
such a waterway, Willard Rowland
told the legislative committee that the
canal would be constant governor
of freight rates in New England. It
would give Boston as short a water
route, within twenty-eight miles, to
New York, as it has now by the Shore
Line Railroad. It would make trans
portation of freight as expeditions as
could be brought about in any modern
way. IF New England is to hold it's,

lowest possible cost. There are today
100000 tons of coal, at least. used
north of the cape; If it can be brought
water-borne by shorter route, less,
hazardous and therefore more quickly
and more satisfactory, that chief ele
ment Of prosperity can be secured at
a minimum of COST The best esti-
mates obtainable of the probable traf-
fic of the canal shows an annual ton
mage of 100000 tons. Lines of
steamers between Boston and New
York, Philadelphia, Savannah and
other points farther south, would use
the canal. Insurance rates would be
cheaper upon all vessels and their car
goes: and thus all these elements
would combine to compel the lowest
freight rates for New England at
which the business could be done and
yield fair profit to the carrier

Perpetual Fires,

In the Peninsula Of Apsheron on
the coast of the Caspian there is per-
petual, or as it is there called an eter-
nal fire. It has risen from time imme-
mortal, from an Irregular orifce Of
about twelve feet in depth, and l20 feet
in width, with a contain. flame. The
latter rises from (. height OF from six
to eight feet, is un"t~ent:ad with smoke
and yields no ST: IN. This ire Wa5
Worshipped in olden times, and ruins
of the fire temples erected near it may
still be seen. There is also not far
from Deliktash, on the side of a noun
tain in Lycia, the perpetual fire de-
scribed some sixty years since by Capt.
Beaufort Thirty years later it was
found as brilliant as ever, and some
what increased. This phenomenon is
described by Pliny as the flame of the

CHILEAN VOLCANOES, is always burning;

of Baku, may almost come unders the

THE CRUEL SIDE.
Fate Is Not Kind to the Girls in Grea

Fate Is Not Kind to the Girls in Great
Cities.
New York Times: DR.. Charles Cuth-
bert Hall, president Of the faculty of
the Union Theological Seminary, de-
nvered an address deploring the in
creasing migration of young women
from the village to the city, and attrib-
uting it to higher education. He said
he did not desire to put himself on
record as being opposed to the higher
education of women, nor did be think
there should be any arbitrary diatinc-
ton between the sexes, but he insisted
that the prevailing restlessness and
craving after literary and artistic tri-
umphs were due to extended latitude
In won,an's sphere. Here come these
hordes of bright young women to seek
success in art" he continued; lied on
by the irridescent dream that they will
accomplish something great in great
city. It makes my heart bleed to know
of the bitter disappointment, the keen
suffering, the agony of the struggle
for existence among these girls.
think there are serious sides to the
question of the restlessness of those
who think they must get away from
the villages and come to the glow and
glamor of the city. 1t is serious in
that it threatens the destruction of
home life, which is the salvation Of the
country. What pity that these girls
are infected with the idea that to be
married and to settle down in a small
village Is below then! You have seen
the streets streaming with these hosts
Of young women, led on by this vain
hope of success in the city, and you
have grasped the situation. They are
here, and you accept the conditions
as you find them. However mistaken
their dream of artistic or literary sue
cess, you have not said to them: Go
back to your homes; you are wrong
but you have met them in cordial and
no superficial way" DR.. Hall then ex-
hOrted his hearers not to be discourage
ed. In the association they found in
full measure the sympathy they needed
that sympathy which only women can
give to women. They had been unde-
ceived; the bloom of novelty had worn
off and they found themselves face to
face with the real, hard conditions of
the struggle for life. It behooved
them, therefore, to fit themselves for it
by every means in their power, and
they had his best wishes for their sue
cess.

STORY FROM Mature.

Animals and birds are some of
natures most interesting wonders.
The animal that l paid most at
tention to and cared most for was a
Shepard dog that was just about my
age. His name was Fred, and he
was quite good sized dog with
shaggy light hair. He was very
faithful.
One Of his good acts was to 20
anywhere on the farm and bring up
the stock, but there were only GER
tain people whom he would work
for.
When he vas about three years old
he had his leg broken. Papa bound
it with splints and in few weeks
he could use it again. During this
time he was more patient than lots
of people would have been. But he
had some bad ways with his good
ones. One of them was to bark at
teams when they passed by, and
another was to follow US when we
went anywhere. We would some
times drive him back and chen he
would catch up with us when we
were not looking and run along
under our buggy so that we could
not see him until we arrived at the
place to which we we're going, then
we could not send him back.
Now 1 will tell you the trick that
made me think about writing this
story.
One fall papa took him about sew
enty five miles from home, where
he intended to leave him all win
ter. About three days after papa
came back the man with whom he
left the dog turned him loose. That
night he ran away and came all
those seventy-tive miles home
again.
When Fred reached the age of
thirteen years he became deaf and
SO cross that papa had to have him
killed. Agnes Elliott, 9th room.
