SUEZ CANAL AND PESSIMISTS.

1t is shown that from an engineer
ing point of view the Suez Canal was
impossible, while from a commercial
point of view it was proved, up to the
hilt. that, even if the canal could be
made, it would, so far as traffic went,
be a failure as melancholy to the
philanthropist as it would be disast-
rous to the investor. The great
authorities who spoke with so much
assurance are all dead, and it is well
for their comfort that they are. In
1869 traffic between the west and the
east via the Cape of Good Hope was
about 100000 tons. In 1897 the traf-
tic through the SueZ canal was 1885,
YS1 tons. while that round the Cape
of Good nope was at least $3.50, -
tons. In other words, one direct re-
suit of the construction of the Suez
canal has been that in twenty-eight
years the commerce of the world has
been increased 100000 tons annually.
1t is hardly necessary to add that the
return to the investor who risked
his money in what seemed to SO many
to be bare-brained project has been,
to say the least of it, of fairly salts

Swedish groom found it desirable, I'm
fact, to have several best men, to d.
fend him from the assaults of rivals
and prevent them from carrying away
his bride. The Scandinavian war
rior of ancient times was far too lofty
in his ideas to condescend to plead for
a maiden's hand. So he patiently
waited until some other man who
was,more gallant had obtained the
fail Hne's consent. Then when all
the dstails had been nicely arranged,
the proud warrior, with a body of
well-trained retainers, dashed down
on the wedding party, and if strong
enough, carried away the bride. The
best men land it was very essential
that they should be the best men in
those days., therefore, became neces-
sary fixtures to the marriage cere-
mony, and they were so well esteemed
and their popularity became so per-
manent that when the reason for their
existence was removed they were still
retained. Hence, the custom is pre-
served in the best man of today"

GLOVE-MAKING ANIMALS.

Among the more popular materials
used in modern glove-making are kid,
lamb, buck, doe and dog skins. The
kids are specially reared for the use
of their hides. They are all kept in
pens, and thus are prevented from in
jurying their skins against hedges,
palings or rocks. They are fed only
with milk, so as to preserve the quail
ity of the hide, which becomes very
delicate, and, naturally, more valu-
able. At one time Senator Mackay,
of Nevada, conceived the idea of buy
ing up all the goats in the world, so
as to obtain a monopoly of kid
leather. but the scheme did not flour
ish. Following closely upon this was
a plan projected by several French
capitalists to catch all the rats in
Chicago and establish a preserve
which would supply the French glove
makers with ratskins to be converted
into kid" gloves.-Woman's Home
