lock 16 there is not a human being to be seen at work along the twenty miles of the eastern end of the canal on which ground has been broken.
 The work of construction progressed more rapidly last year than was an- ticipated even by the most hopeful early in the season. Ground has been broken for twenty miles on the east ern end where most of the work has been confined, and contracts for exca- vation and lock building are let up to the twenty-fifth mile-well into the summit level.
 With the exception of hanging the gates locks 1 to ', inclusive, are con- pleted, the foundations are ready for the concrete work of three more and work has been commenced on locks Il to 21.
 A fund of $4O0,OOO being left on hand at the close of the past seasons work and congress, which is expected to appropriate more money, in ses- sion, an carly resumption of work this year is assured. If the appropriation made by congress th1s session is sui fciently large the field work in 1893 will more than equal in quantity all that has teen done to date. Plans to that effect are now being made by the engineers.
 At present about one-half of the twentynine miles of the right of way has either been purchased or con- tracted for by the engineers. Along the eastern end of the summit level and between it and Rock river the right of way is also secured. Here it is that the greatest trouble with land lords has been met. Few will consent to compromise in any way and, as they lave worn out the patience of the engineers. condemnation suits have been commenced against them.
 The canal, when completed, will make short cut between the Missis- sippi and Illinois rivers for all water craft, at least to all towns north of 1owas south state line on the Missis- slppi river and east of Peoria on the Illinois river. It will be a means of conveying boats over the high divide between the two rivers and save a distance cf 600 miles in the present water route from Chicago to Rock Island, III.
 AS it now is, boats loaded for north ern Mississippi river towns at Chica go, reach their destination by means of the Illinois and Michigan canal to La Salle, H., Illinois river to Alton, H., thence north on the Mississippi river to destination. The trip is too long to be profitable in competition with railroads over their short routes, but with the short cut afforded by the Hennepin canal steamboats will be- come close competitors with railroads for carrying the heavy and slow freights to and from the great north west and eastern markets, as the dis tance by water from Chicago to Rock Island, via the Hennepin canal, is practically the same.

ABOUT CHRISTMAS.

Carol singing was, up to few years ago, universal in England, both in church and home, at Christmas sea- son.
 In the fourth century the celebration of Christmas was fixed by the Latin church for December 25. Before that time it had been a movable festival. like Easter.
 In France it is a common practice to celebrate Christmas by giving an extra ration to all domestic animals, on the theory that all creatures should rejoice 2t this season.
 In England the Christmas decora- ions may remain in the churches dur .ng the month of January. but must all be cleared away before February 2, or Candlemas day.
 In Devonshire, England, messenger is sent from the house Of the farmer to tell the bees that Christmas day las come, and they are supposed to rreet the glad tidings with a joyful irlIm.
 In Queens college, Oxford, the Christ mas dinner is composed principally of a ocar's head, parboLed, then roasted, md served decorated with holly leaves and berries, and eaten with mustard.
 In medieval Europe peacock was the favorite dish for the Christmas dinner. The bird was carefully skinned, pre- serving the plumage intact, the body was roasted, the skin and feathers were replaced and the bird served upon a dish as nearly as possible to resemble

SHEARING IN THE VALLEY.
A Shortage of Feed Is Causing Sheep
 Men Some Inconvenience.

"Unless we have rain very soon the sheep men will have to move their bands back into the mountains said a sheep man. ''The feed on the des- ert is very poor now. The warm weather has started it up all over the desert, but it is not growing fast enough to afford good feed Sheep are being held back in the hills and driven down as fast as the shearers can handle them. It is probable that the shearing camps will have to be moved back into the foothills before long unless we have rain to start the feed.
