 through which the Comite was enabled
 to agree upon project for the com

The ter-nini of the canal are Colon on the Atlantic coast. and Panama on the Pacific. The distance between them is 46% miles. measured on the line of the canal. The canal is to be divided into six reachcs-a maritime channel on either sea-coast, and four intermediate ponds of varying lengths. The channel on the Atlantic coast covers nearly one-third of the length of the canal. being itself 24.20 ters in length. The bottom width of the channel will be 50 metres and the depth below the mean lcvcl of the sea (which is here practically tide Iess) will be nine metres. The At, lantic channel is already completed. ! ". Henry Hunter, in Engineering Magazine

WOMAN EARNS HER WAGES.
An Indiana Law Court Decides a Case. in Favor of OverwOrked
 Wife,

An interesting law case has just been
 settled in the appellate court of Indiana
 which involves the wages received by
 woman from her husband for clerking in his shoe store. The court decided
 against the trust company.
 The wife worked for $7,5O week and saved her money, which was invested in building association stock. When the amount has reached 1,6OO, busi- ness fell off, and the husband was forced to borrow from his wife till all her savings were gone, when he made an assignment. He also owed her a years wages, and her claim against the as signee for $2,37S was resisted on the ground that a husband could not make a valid contract to pay his wife for her services. The lower court took this view of the case, but when it reached the appellate court the finding of the circuit court was reversed, the judge filing this reason for his action:
 Tt must be conceded that if the con tract between appellant andi her hus- band related to services performed by her in the discharge of her household duties, and the duties incumbent upon her to perform by reason of her mar ital relations then there would be no consideration to support the contract.
 ''The law imposes upon her the dis charge of such duties, and contract between them, whereby he was to pay her for such services could not be up- held as it would be against public pol icy. .. Where married woman per forms labor for her husband or family in the discharge of her household or marital duties such labor must be per formed without financial compensation from the husband, for the reciprocal relations that exist between them. But the labor performed by appellant was not of that character.
 'She was under no obligation to leave her home and it's surroundings and spend years Of her life in a store clerking for her husband, yet she did this, under contract that she was to be paid for it. The consideration was sufficient to support the contract.
 ..- The money which was paid to ap- pellant under contract with her hus- band, and which was reduced to possession, and which she loaned to him, is such an obligation, based upon sound, equitable reasons, that it will be enforced. The judgment is re- Tersed. Chicago Chronicle.

His letter in reply, how ever, recorded his usual and normal drop in temperature-the other letter had been merely an attack of cheerful mental alteration.

Fig Jelly.

Stew one-haf pound of pulled figs in a pint of sugar and water sirup, which has been favored with the juice of all orange. and the juice and grated peel of one-half lemon. As soon as the figs are soft. pass them through a coarse wire sieve. Measure the siruP, in which the figs were stewed, and add gelatine to it (which has been previously soaked in cold water) in the proportion of rather less than one-haH an ounce to one-half pint sirup, and stir over the fire until the gelatine has dissolved, and then mix it with the prepared figs. Rinse mold with cold water and fill it with the fig jelly; when the latteris set, turn it out and serve with boiled custard or cream.-Boston Globe,

Better Fuel Than Coal.

A newly-discovered mineral which is of a lustrous color and which as fuel surpasses coal and all other substances heretofore known, is, found on the island of Barbados, in the Lesser An titles, where the natives call it man jak. It is thought that manjak is petrified petroleum, great quantities of petroleum being found on the same island. It contains only two per cent. of water, and fully P per cent. of solid organic matter, thus surpassine in utility the best asphalt of Trinidad, in which 30 per cent. of water is con tained, and which has been classed so far as the very finest fuel. Mixed with turf it gives heat far superior to any known.-Journal of Geology.

 Fa'muu is now 20 years old, having been born in the village of Mulinuu, in December, 1878.
 Her latest romance is with a young German officer Herr Otto Schiller Aat- tached to the kaiser's consulate Sat Samoa. Being a princess, she appears at many of the swell diplomatic recep- tions at Apia. On these occasionssshe dons some European adornments. These are mostly jewels, of which she is passionately fond. Pearl necklaces are her especial delight. She will wear half a dozen of these, so as to complete ly drape her breast.
 But for the fiimsy fabrics that most women sigh for she cares not at all. The traditions of her race are decidedly against overdressing and ,"new woman as she is, she cIings to her peoples tastes in this respect.
 Herr Schiller, it Sis rumored, is at tracted to this Samoan belle not only on account of her dusky charms, but by craving to win high standing among the natives by marrying princess of the blood royal. This would mean almost untold wealth

BOUNDARIES OF NATIONS.
Closely Guarded Barriers That Divide the Frontiers of Great
 Countries.

Anyone who has ever happened to walk, drive, cycle, CT even train through Europe knows what crossing the frontier means. Every road and every railway line has it's guard and custom houses.
 Not child or dog can pass without customs examinations and vexatious formalities of all sorts. Particularly is this the case between those old enemies France and Germany There is no river of any size, no line of hills or any other natural boundary line along the northwestern boundary of Elsass- Lothringen and the still French Lorraine. Here string of forts guards each side of narrow neutral strip; strategic railways are ready to bring up at q moments notice all the muni- tions of modern war; and it has been said the expense entailed on each coun- try in this way alone eats up enough money to run the entire government of small country like Switzerland.
 Further south the boundary between Italy and France is guarded with equal care. The Apes Maritimes divide the two countries and might be thought a sufficient natural barrier. But not a bit of it! Guards and block houses may be seen at the very summit of the bleak heights, and woe betide the unhappy tourist who unconsciously passes the snowy boundary.
 Germany, too, has another frontier which gives her much trouble. and which borders oh Russian Poland The vast sandyplains which run south from Memel are sparsely inhabited. but are most carefully fortified. One curious precaution is that the main lines of railway end in the termni at the from tier, and the passenger has to change on to quite a different gauge on the Russian side. This is, of course, 10 pre- vent armored trains or supplies being run through in time of war.

On & corner in one of the most aris- tocratic residence districts of the North
 side is a small saloon that is an eye
 sore to property owners and a Mecca to drinking men of all classes. Before it's doors are drawn up hearses, delivery
 wagons and handsome carriages.
 Coachmen assemble in one of the streets
 upon which the little saloon opens, and,
 while the fashionable women whom they serve are enjoying afternoon tea, they indulge in afternoon beer, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 A bror Sham driven by 2 man in con- spicuous livery drove by the saloon the other day. Two landaus and coupe were assembled to take part in an i'm promptu whisky" but the coachman paid no attention to the other stylish jehus. He drew up in front of large flat building, looked straight ahead, end made a peculiar signal with the black fur glove. For five minutes he sat quite imInovable.
 From the back door of the saloon a colored man walked out, carrying a new japanned coal bucket. He crossed to the pavement near which the brougham wG.s stationed. Putting the coal bucket on the sidewalk, he stopped over and took something from it which he handed to the coachman. The coach mans big fur glove was folded over the article for a moment. Then the glove was raised to the coachman's mouth, the cockaded hat was thrown back an instant, the black glove returned some thing to the colored man, and the moved on.
