Manchester, England, is now con.

begun, twelve OF fifteen years ago,

ton OF the canal for steamships draw.
ing about twenty-five feet of water
and of capacity OF not over 5000 tons.
Since then there has been steady
increase in the capacity and draught
OF ocean-going steamers, and the canal,
owing to the lack of foresight OF its
projectors, is unable to accommodate
the new class of ocean tramps, to say
nothing of the liners which the san.
guine do not despair of seeing setting
forth from Manchester on transatlan-
tic voyages. It is also pointed out
that if Manchester is to succeed in
building up direct trade in cotton
with American ports there must be
more dock and warehouse accommoda-
tions. 1t cannot supersede Liverpool
as cotton port when there is no ade-
quate provision for storing the staple
as it arrives, 1t would seem that this
lack OF capacity in the canal itself and
the want of warehouse facilities are
affecting the growth of the canal bust.

Broadminded educators are striving
to establish special classes for deficient
children. The idea deserves careful
consideration. The pitilul sight is
often witnessed in our public schools
of the teacher who never looks below
the surface of things holding up 10
admiration the bright pupil at the ex'
pense of the child whose dormant
faculties, if properly developed, might
in the end win the race of life.

A mother sees an entirely new side
OF her child's character when the lit
tie one is with other children. A sell
fish or domineering or obstinate spirit,
utterly unknown before to the loving
parent, is apt to manifest itself. With
older people a child is more or less re-
strained, but with little people of his
own age he feels perfectly free to do
as he pleases.
Companionshis is an excellent thing
for children. 1t not only makes them
happier, but they are observing little
mortals, and quick to initiate. The
rough boy will try to be gentle to his
timid little cousin if he is stirred by
the idea that he must protect her;
the little tomboy will try to follow the
gentle graces of her pet friend, seeing
how much she is loved for her quiet
sweetness; while the bashful, shrink
ing little lassie will strive to emulate
the strength and good sense of her
lively comrade. Let the mother well
come her children little guests cor
daily, observe their characters, and
encourage her children to follow their
virtues.
A little panied expression at some
discourtesy will often do more than a
severe scolding, and quick. cheerful
"Thank you," or "How thoughtful,
DEAR" will work wonders. Praise
freely the kinds acts; show the rinht
path to the ignorant little one, anxious
to please; reprove gently the thought

What is probably the most radical
departure from the old system of trial
by jury Is under test in Louisiana.
The change is by authority-of the re-.
cent Constitutional Convention in the
State. That body, in addition to other
remarkable acts, provided that in
criminal cases where the punishment
may not be Imprisonment at hard labor
the trial may be by the Judge, without
jury; if the punishment may be i'm
prisonment at hard labor, the case
must be tried by jury of five; and if
the punishment must be hard labor,
then the jury shall consist of twelve,
the concurrence of nine of whom is
sufficient for verdict. AS explained
by q Louisiana paper, the purpose Of
the enactment was to get rid of the
delay and expense of long jury trials
and of disagreeing juries. In this re-
spect it is success. The courts have
been able to dispose of much more
business, and at lessened cost, the re-
duction in expense at single term Of
one court being $4,000. 1t remains to
be seen, however, how the change will
affect the prisoner. On this point the
trainers of the constitutional clause ap-
peared to entertain doubts. They
made its place in the constitution tena.
tive, by provision that the Legisla-
ture may change it after 1904, and re-.
turn to the old system if the new one
is found not to work well.

A Wonan's Carriage.

Much of an Englishwoman's beauty
lies in her proud carriage, the erect
ness of her figure and the poise of her
head. The aristocratic carriage is
within the reach of every girl who will
take the trouble to have it. 1t is q
question of a few years OF vigilance,
during which she should never relax
the watchfulness over herself. Sitting
or standing, the erectuess and pose
must be preserved. The result will
be that at the end of that time it has
become second nature to her. In this
way the figure is also preserved, the
muscles are kept firm and well strung,
and the sinking down of the flesh
round the waist and hipsis prevented.

Marvellous Hat Ornaments.

Hat ornaments are enormous. 1t is
going to be marvel how the heads
upon which they are to appear will
support them. 1t will require some
management of the bead to obtain an
equilibrium. Many of these enormous
clubs are of jet, and two stylish ones
seen in one hat-big pins with enor-
nous round heads, in the front of it
were of dull black, ornamented with
cut steel. Many pretty bonnets are
made of slung jet, or black sequins, as
many people would say. All colors are
combined with the black. A beautiful
shade of orange that appears in mil
linery might be called frosted orange
in contradistinction to the burnt
orange which has been so much used.
1t has pretty white frosted effect.

Means taken by the Maryland
Board of Health to insure a good
water supply at places of public resort
in that State would be very efficient if
the majority Of people had learned to
take seriously the warnings of sanitary
science in this respect. 1t has ordered
that examinations be made from tims

gist of the Board of the water sup.
plies OF such resorts, aad that the re-
suits be reported to the owners of the
resorts and be made public. This is
not altogether new line of sanitary
work in Maryland. The Health Board
has the power to inspect water
sources, and has done so, reporting
the condition to the owner, aud if the
source was found to be faulty has
suggested that it be abandoned. It
has no further power in the matter,
however, except in the presence of
epidemic disease, aal as its sugges-
tions have been disregarded in some
instances, it has adopted the plau of
publicity. This may influence the
proprietors of public resorts, and thus
the people may be protected against
the consequences of their own care.

that her eyes were glad. The child

Then Gabrielles mother finished

near the instrument. Gabrielle
looked at it with great aversion.
"It's very dry day." said she.
"May go to the cab in my stockings,

The doctor pushed the little boot

The Wedding Refreshments

AT the wedding reception or break.
fast the forms are very much alike
The bride and groom stand among
flowers and greens, to receive congrat-
ulations with the bridemaids at the
brides side, the brides mother and
father receiving near, and the groom's
people not far off. The ushers have
plenty to do. They must be careful
to guard against crowding or confu.
sion, and be alert to act as escorts to
the guests. But after the formal part
OF the reception is over, comes a jolly
time. The majority of the guests take
their departure when they have given
the young couple their good wishes
and partaken of refreshments, nd
only those nearest and dearest to the
bride stay. A sit-down repast is now
served to the bridal party, even if the
others have not been served at small
tables, but have eaten, sans ceremonie,
standing about the room where a large
centre-table is spread and decorated
fittingly for the occasion. Here is
modern wedding repast;

naise.

When the BRIDES cake had been cut,
and the wedding feast is over, the

the carriage; amid cheers and shouts,
with at least one slipper thrown after
them, they roll of and are lost to view.

Mans Gifts to womanhood.

An English writer points out the
fact that the most generous gifts to
women in America have all come from
the libefality of men. Vassar College,
the pioneer OF women's universities,
was the gift to American womanhood
OF Matthew Vassar; the women's de-
partment of Cornell was built and en-
dowed at great expense by Russell
Sage, and in almost every other of the
many cases it is men who have made
the munifcent gifts to the future girls
in American colleges. 1t is stated
further that the same rule holds good
of Great Britain. Mr.. Holloway left
magnificent sum, however unwisely
arranged, with the best OF intentions,
to erect and endow for women's higher
education the pile bearing his name
near Windsor. But few weeks since
in England it was recorded that a
Scotchman had left bequest of many
thousand pounds for the purpose of
building q woman's medical school in
Glasgow. The Pfeiffer bequest of
$780, 900, to be divided at the discre-
tion Of Sir Josiah Finch between sew
eral great educational institutions for
women and of incalculable service to
them-the new buildings of the Lon
don School of Medicine for Women
opened by the Princess of Wales on
July IA being on illustration of how
the money has benefited the recipients
was in the most part the property
of Mr. Pfeiffer, and it was his will that
actually so bequeathed it, though it
had been his wife's idea, as well as his
own, that their money should be SO
dispensed. In both countries, there
fore, it would seem to be case Of mans
generosity to woman, in face of which
Smith College, the gift of woman to
women, appears to be unique.

GREEN WOODS.

OF fairy pipes the wood was full,
And stir of airy feet
The nesting robin to his mate
Sang only, "Sweet, sweet, sweet"
And far and high the hermlt-thrush
Thrilled his ecstatic note,
As II the song of love and death
Lived in his slender throat.
Oh, sweet 1t was, and dear 1t was,
In the green woods to-day,
The echo of silent voice,
And all the world away.
For fearing not, and loving much,
And hoping, hoping all,
Across the cloudy silences
I felt her presence fall.
They made her grave the other day,
And yet 1t well may be
That all along that woodland path,
Viewless, she went with me;
For life is stronger still than death,
And love will flnd way,
And heaven and earth were all as one
In the green woods to-day.

oh, sweet It was, and fair it was,
In the green woods to-day,
With only tree-tops bending near.
And all the world away,
When fearing not, and caring not,
And hoping, hoping all,
NY heart danced as the shadows dance
The swaylng boughs let fall.
Oh, balmy was the pine-tree's breath,
Stirring its tasselled plumes;
The slender birches, maiden-white,
Leaned thro' the forest glooms;
And birch, and beech, and bending bush,
And brook and blossomed spray,
Were childhood voices long forgot,
In the green woods to-day.
Oh, sweet it was, and fair it was,
In the green woods to-day,
To hear tho birds trlll out their tunes,
And all the world away;
And fearing not, and caring not,
And hoping, hoping all,
In notes they stole from out my dreams
To hear them call and call.

DR.. Whowell, master Of Trinity COL

popular man. When he entered the SEN

"How this originated do not know, :"
writes Dean Farrar in his book "Men I
Have Known" "There were uyvu~..,-
ends about it. One was that it intimat-
ed that the master would have to whis-
tie for bishopric; the other-equally
absurd-was that when some one had
asked him how to pronounce his name
he had said, You must shape your
mouth as if you We're going to whistle. :"
But under the rough manners of the
students there was genuine goodness of
heart Dir. WheweN's wife died. He
had been tonderly devoted to her, and
when he attended chapel after her death
