Work on the Chicago draining canal has been halted by a, dispute between the Canal commissioners and the Drainage board, and the publication of the citys water supply has conse- quently been postponed. The essence of the trouble is that the commission CTS refuse to permit the use of certain land at Joliet for the drainage canal, and this land lies directly in the route required by the law. This not only prevents work on the canal section at Joliet, but renders 1t unsafe, pending a settlement, to begin work further down, and Chicago is depressed over the fear that 1t may be impossible to have the canal ready to open a year from next month as planned. It is hinted that the real bone of contention is water-power rights, valued at from $50,O00 to $1O0- 900, existing, or to exist in the disputed territory, and that by the relinquish- ment of these rights the Drainage board might obtain the desired trans- fer deed. Thus far the Canal commits sloners have the best of the legal fight, having secured an injunction against the Drainage board. To settle the dis pute in the courts may take months of time, and even then an application for authority may have to be made to the legislature, unless, in the meantime, the Drainage board, moved by the larger interests, financially and physi- cally, of the Chicago citizens, should surrender.

IN A PUERTO RICAN FOREST.

I was awakened early the next morn ing by the screeching of green parrots, quarreling with other birds in the top of a cocoanut palm. I was drenched with dew, but forgot all as I thought of
 my horse. To my great relief, I found him standing behind bit of oleander bush. red with flowers, crunching the juicy stalk of prickly pear. watched him with interest as he took the stalk and with his teeth ripped off the skin with all its thorns He whin- nied as if we were old friends. After bridling and watering him, found the trail, and rode off southward. On the way I ate everything I could find, from green cherries and guava plums tq jui- cy mangoes, which stained the front of my coat, and bell apples, the meat of which suggested mildew. There were also custard apples, large green fruit not unlike cream puffs inside.
 The most astonishing and the best of all was fruit called pulmo-4in our la11- uage, sour soap. It is about as large as quart bowl, and so nourishing and full that single fruit was enough for good meal, although that did not deter my herse from eating four. Later l

MEDALS OF HONOR.

The glory of the late war isn't to be slung around loosely if the government can help it. The rules which will gov ern the award of medals of honor are very strict. Such medals will not be awarded to officers or enlisted men ex- cept for distinguished bravery or con- spicuous gallantry which shall have been manifested in action by conduct that distinguishes soldier above his comrades, or that involves risk of life. or the performance of more than ordi- nary hazardous duty. Recommends tions for the award will be governed by this interpretation of extraordinary merit. Recommendations are to be made only by the officers in command at the time of the faction" or by an of ficer having personal cognizance of the specific act for which the medal is granted. The recommendation must be accompanied by a detailed recital of the circumstances and by certificates  of officers or af1idavits of enlisted men who were eye-witnesses of the act The testimony must, when practicable, em- brace that of at least two eye-wit- nesses, and must describe specifically the act or acts by which the person in whose behalf the recommendation is made most distinguished himself, and the facts in the case must be further attested by the official reports of the action, record of events, muster rolls and returns and descriptive lists
 These regulations are, of course, en- tirely proper. A medal of honor should mean something.

 , 4 CHANGE TO IE4Ry

When the United States troops were fighting in Cuba a representative of the English army was there trying to see what he could learn that would be use ful to Englands military system. The general impression seems to be that there wasn't much in that campaign that was very instructive to an experi- enced English soldier But if the man agers of the English army couldn't learn much from our operations in Gu ba it is evident that the military au- thorities of this country could learn something from the way the English campaign in Africa has been and is be- ing conducted. This campaign is in a tropical country. The enemy has been caught and slaughtered with great slaughter. It appears that General Kitchener's troops are well fed, well armed and we'll cared for his sick and wounded are shipped north without a days delay, and his reports have not word to say about typhoid fever.
 We are everlastingly great, free and unconquerable, and yet we could, if we would, learn something about war from our friends the English, who would doubtless be glad to teach us now that they are never going to fight us any more.

TRADE opPoRrUNITrEs,


 New York, Baltimore and some other eastern cities have an interest in what MT. Stuyvesant Fish, president of the Illinois Central railroad, has been say ing regarding some trade opportunities He tells New Orleans how she and the enterprlslng cities of the West may cap ture a large part of the American trade with Mexico, Central America, the West Indies and the South American repub- lies, and how this trade may be vastly increased. He points out that the 36,- 000,000 people living in the ten South American republics buy goods from other countries to the value of $37600O,- 900 annually, of which we sell them only $S3, 100000. The five Central American States, with population of 3,500,0OO take foreign goods to the amount of $23,Oo0,O0O annually, of which we sell them only $5,S2O, 900. Mexico, our near neighbor, with rail connections at sev- eral places on our border, with a popu- lation of 13,0O0,oOO buys abroad to the extent of s42,OOO,0OO, but we sell it's peo- pie only $21,OO0,00O. The West Indies, not including Cuba or Porto Rico, buy $45,000,000 worth of goods in foreign countries, of which we provide $15,000,- GOO. The startling fact is that we buy yearly from the South American coun- tries $67000,O0O more than they buy from us; in other words, they sell us their products and with our money make purchases in Europe.
 These are impressive and significant facts. MT. Fish thinks that all that Is necessary to secure large part of the trade that is now carried on with Eu- rope is the establishment of large steamship facilities between our Gulf ports and those of the southern coun- tries. He calls special attention to the admirable facilities afforded at New Orleans for the development of this foreign trade.

government and the English. AS soon as the faqir Muhammad Ahmad as- sumed the office of Mahdi he made a keen effort to win recognition and sup port from Sidi Osman of Kassala, and averred it was his aim to revive the teaching of the Morghani. But this policy did not succeed. On June 21, 1884, the rebels attacked the Khatmia and were repulsed by the garrison un- der Sidi Osman, but they finally suc- ceeded in taking it by determined at tack on May 2S, 1885, when another of the Morghanis, Sidi Baltri, was severe ly wounded. Now that the head of the family has resumed residence at the Khatmia, the Khatimiya Order will soon renew it's hold on the Moslems of the Upper Nile, and it may be said of the order what Sir Charles Wilson said of Sidi Osman in 1887, that it's teach ing represents p rogress and civilization as opposed to the stagnation and bar barism of Mahdiism."

found that they are also relished by dogs Of springgs and streams there were so many that had no fear of dy- in of thirst. If water was not handy, could always climb cocoanut tree and throw down the green nuts, which were filled with an abundance of Watery milk, more than I could drink at one time. Other nuts there were in plenty; but many were more curious than edi- ble, even to my willing appetite. One had a delicious odor. I tasted little and thought it ideal for fiavoring can- dy. But it soon dissolved in my mouth in a fine dust, absorbing all the mois- ture, so that I had to blow it out like flour Nothing ever made me so thirs- ty in my fife, and even after rinsing out my mouth I felt for a long time as if were chewing punk or cotton.

shade of silk null embroidered with a small floral pattern. The upper part had tucked yoke of the same goods partly covered by cashmere yoke that was cut in one with the high collar Small tab-like extensions of this were held down with buttons. Belt and sash were of the figured null, and the sleeves were cashmere. Sashes are to be little worn this winter, and even now it is especially desirable that the sash should be a bit unusual. For yachting purposes this one was entirely satisfactory, but for city wear it would be as well to discard the sash ends. Such, apparently, was the gowns ulti- mate purpose, for certainly anyone planning a suit fop yachting only would attune it to sailoring by more than these embroidered anchors. In thus permitting a gown double use, the present fashion in yachting rigs is to be commended. Few new styles aim at that target. But the fancy makes the yachtswomen of '9S an even more impractical looking lot than ever.
 A compromise has developed in the drop skirt. The upper portion of the present skirt is lined with silk, but the Spanish fiounce portion hangs free and unlined over silk, under-fiounce that is attached to the upper portion just as the Spanish flounce is. The mak- CTS claim greater freedom and grace in the hang of the fiounce if thus made. Bodices are seldom lined with silk. Makers declare that silk is not elastic, and that perfect fitting lining should yield just enough to mould itself to the figure. Silk is too likely to split un- der pressure and pull.

RI-MANT4L TRITNING.

How convenient to a baseball pitcher, and how troublesome to a batter, it would be If the pitcher could be both "south-paw' and 'north-paw." And there are other occupations in which the equal use of both hands would be convenient and helpful. It appears that there is bi-manual training in this country and that too in Philadelphia, which is generally called a slow town. The system originated there about fourteen years ago, under the super vision of Professor Liberty Todd, and was subsequently adopted by the Board of Education in the primary schools. The training is not compul- sorry, but about two thousand boys and girls attend the Central Industrial art school one halliday in each week to undergo the course. The exercises con- sist in drawing with chalk upon a blackboard, in clay-modelling, and in wood-carving, both hands being en1- ployed simultaneously in producing the same form. The results obtained are said to be sufficient proof that the aver age tendency to limit ourselves to the use of one hand is due entirely to the neglect of practising the other. This is a distinct loss of power, which, in some cases, as, for example, in learn ing to play the piano, has to be labor iously recovered. It is calculated that
