Washington. Dec. Following is the
text of President McKinley's annual
message read at the opening of the last
session of the Ffty-irst congress-:
To the Senate and House of Representa-
tives: Notwithstanding the added burdens
rendered necessary by the war, our people
rejoice In very satisfactory and steadily
increasing degree of prosperity evidenced
by the largest volume Of business ever re-
corded. Manufacture has been productive,
agricultural pursuits have yielded abun-
dant returns, labor in the fields of industry
is better rewarded, revenue legislation
passed by the present congress has in
creased the treasury's receipts to the
amount estimated by it's authors, the
finances Of the government have been sue
cessfully administered and its credit adj
vanced to the first rank, while its currency
has been maintained at the worlds highest
standard. Military service under a COM
mon flag and for righteous cause has
strengthened the national spirit and served
to cement more closely than ever the fra
ternal bonds between every section of the
country. A review of the relation of the
United States to other powers, always ap-
propriate, Is this year of primary impor-
tance in view of the mOmentous issues
which have arisen, demanding in one in
stance the ultimate determination by arms
and involving far-reaching consequences
which will require the earnest attention
of the congress.

SULPHUR is one of the most efica-
cious cures for diphtheria. All that is
needed is -four of sulphur and quill,
and with these one celebrated physi-
clan cured every patient without ex-
ception. He put a teaspoonful of -four
of sulphur into wine glass of water,
and stirred it with his finger instead OF
q spoon, the sulphur not readily ANAL
gamating with water. When it was
well mixed the physician gave it as .
gargle, and in ten minutes the patient
was out Of danger. Sulphur kills every
species Of fungus in q man, beast and
plant in few minutes. Swallowing
the gargle will do no harm.

NICARAGUAN CANAL.
Some Definite Action ON the Subject
Is Urged.


The Nicaragua canal commission, under
the championship OF Rear Admiral John g.
Walker, appointed July 81, 1857, under che
authority OF provision in the SuEdIy civil
act of June Of that year has near
ly completed its labors. and the results Of
its exhaustive inquiry into the proper
route, the feasibility ard the cost of cor
struction of an interocean:c canal by MIC
araguan route will be laid before you. In
the performance of its task the commission
received all possible courtesy ard assist
ance from the governments OF Nicaragua
and Costa Rica. which thus testified their
appreciation of The importance Of giving
speedy and practical outcome to the great
project that has for SO many years en-
crossed the attention of the respective
countries.
AS the scope of recent inquiry embraced
plans and surveys for canal by the most
convenient route, it necessarily Included
review OF the results OF previous surveys
by the Maritime Canal company under It's
existing concessions from Nicaragua and
Costa Riea 50 that se 1S s essesa
in the deliberations and conclusions Of the
canal commission as they have held and
must needs hold in the discussion OF the
matter by the congress. Under these cir
cumstances and in view OF overtures made
to the governments of Nicaragua and
Costa Rica BY other on 1or ,ba
sumed approaching lapse OF the contracts
of the Maritime Canal company with those
states l have not hesitated to express my
conviction; that considerations Of expedi-
cncy and International policy. as between
the several governments Interested in the
construction and control OF an inter-
oceanic canal by this route require the
maintenance Of the status quo. until the
cana: commission shall have reported and
the United States congress shall have had
the opportunity to pass finally upon the
whole matter during the present session,
without prejudice by reason OF any change
in the existing conditions.
Nevertheless # appears that the govern
ment OF Nicaragua, as one of its last sover-
eign acts before merging its powers in
those of the Hewiy-formed United States
of Central America, has granted an option
al concession to another association, TO be-
come effective on the expiration Of the
present grant. 1t does not appear what
surveys have been made, or what route is
proposed under this contingent granted, so
that an examina ton Of the feasibility Of
its plans is necessarily not embraced in the
report of the canal commission. All these
circumstances suggest the urgency of
some definite action by the congress at
this session, II the lab0rs Of the past are to
be utilized and the linking Of the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans by a practical water
way is to be realized. That the construc-
ton Of such maritime highway - now

AN odd marriage custom obtains in
the island of Himla, opposite the is
land of Rhodes. The Greeks, by whom
it is peopled, earn their living by the
sponge fisheries No girl is allowed to
marry until she has brought up a GER
tain number of sponges, which must
be taken from a certain depth. In
some of the other Greek islands it is
the men who must dive for the sponges.
If there are several suitors for the hand
of a maiden the father bestows her on
the man who can bring up the largest
number of sponges.

THE latest invention is a pipe line
made of glass. The glass manufacture
ing firm whose plant is located at Port
Allegany, Pa, is preparing to make
glass tubes that can be used for send
ing oil or gas across the country, for
carrying off sewage, supplying cities
with water, etc. The glass pipe does
not corrode, is impervious to the cleo.
trolysis in underground conduits, and,
it is claimed, is less likely to break
than iron pipe. An Ohio company is
now putting in such pipe line, and a
practical test of the system will soon
be possible for distance of 100 miles
at least. ~.

LAKE SUPERIOR may lose it's distinc-
ton of being the largest body of fresh
water on the globe. African explorers
begin to think Lake Victoria Nyanza
is larger. Superior covers $1,000 square
miles, and Nyanza has been credited
with about $4,000; but recent explora-
tions have discovered hitherto I'M
known bay on it's southern side, which
SO increases it's known area as to make
it a question whether it is not larger
than Superior. Fuller explorations
and more careful surveys must be made,
however, before decision is reached.
