MERE SPARKS.

Push your work unless you wish
to be pushed by 1t.
You'cannOt exalt yourself by be
littling yourself.
Inability to forgive an injury is
the sure sign of littleness of soul.
To learn to bear your sorrow in
silence is most noble achievment.
Between true thinking and right
living there is a most intimate rela
ton.
At the core of every form OF fan
atheism there is an element of NAL
evidence.
Our emotions are the steam that
keeps the machinery of our nature
working.
1t is a fact which ought never to
be forgotten that all great living is
hard living.
To sneer at theology is simply to
say that there Is no place for
thought in religion.
God knows what is best for US,
and gives us, not what we want,
but what We really need.
Covetousness is as much a form
of idolatry as bowing down before
idols of wood and stone.
The fear of the Lord is the be-
ginning of wisdom and it is also not
far from the ending of it.
The best repentance is not that
which Weeps over yesterdays sins,
but that which avoids them today.
The evil thought which you en-
tertained for moment has left a
disgraceful stain upon the witness
of your soul.
Whoever in the pursuit Of pres
ent pleasures seeks to evade a pres.
ent duty is simply adding to the
weight of fnture burdens.

Running the Palisades.

The Philadelphia North American
says: 1T is a great pity that the de-
struction of the Palisades of the Hudson
River, now going on at rapid pace,
cannot be stopped before this majestic
formation has been blotted ont forever.
The hand of the vandal fell ruthlessly
on Tuesday, when 200 900 tons of rock
were blasted from the Palisades about a
mile above Fort Lee, carrying away the
promontory known to every traveller
who has visited that section as Wash
ington's Head. Seventy-five hundred
pounds Of dynamite were used to accom-
plish the work, and the end in view
was the displacement Of the rock for
building purposes.
The Palisades Commission. which has
undertaken the work Of preserving this
wonderful formation. which all the
world has admired, has hard task
ahead, and 1t must act quickly and with
the hearty cooperation Of all lovers of
the beauties Of nature il the Palisades
are not to be forever lost to us. -

NICARAGUA CANAL
An Abstract OF the Report OF the walker
COmmls8iOn,

The State Department has mlde pub
he an rfilh abstract Of fhe report Of
the Nicarlgnan canal commission az
presented by Admiral Walker, the head
Of The commission, as follow.
The commission understood thar IT
wa. required t. consider all routes here
toforc proposed having any merit that
new routes that appeared % have merit
SHOULD be developed and the entire re-
gion Of canal possibilities should be OK.
amiucd with sufficient thoroughuc-s 10
enable a just and comprehensive com.
plrlson of the yar.ous roafes 0be made
and the most desirable one selected
With this view the commission made
careful ,tudy Of all data bearing upon
the Nicaragun canal ql ,'ion and Sr.
gmized a large folce
Much delay to the work and great an
noyanc9 ~ working parties was caused
by attempts at revolution and by q
strained relations between the govern
ments Of Nicaragua and Costa Rica
The outbreak Of the war between the
United States aud Spain was also o
serious matter.
The report goes into minute details
in respect to all questions connected
with the construction Of the canal, ana
says after mature deliberatien the COM
mission has adopted and estimated for
the route from Brito TO Lake Nicara
qua, called Childs route, and from
the lake to Greytown, called Lull
route. This line, leaving Brito follows
the left bank Of the Rio Grande to new
Bueno Retro, crosses the western di-
vide to the valley Of the Lajas, which
it follows 20 Lake Nicaragua. Cross
ing the lake TO the head Of San Juan
river it follows the upper river 10 near
BOca, San Carlos, thence in excavation
by the left bank Of the river TO the
San JuanillO and cosses the low cOun-
try to Greytown, passing to the north
ward of Lake Silico. 1t requires but a
single dam with regulating works at
both ends of the summit level The
surveys have in general revealed better
physical conditions than was hitherto
supposed TO exist, especially as to the
amount of rock in the upper river,
whereby it ia possible to greatly re-
duce the estimated cost of construc.
tion.
To determine the proper unit prices
for excavation the average Of prices
actually paid to contractors on the Oh-
cago drainage canal, which represent
cost Of plant, prices paid for work done
and contractors profits were taken. To
these prices certain percentages were
added for the difference Of location, eli
mate, etc
In obtaining the estimates for the
cost Of docks the prices actually paid
for building the government locks at
Sault Ste. Marie were taken and 33 per
cent was added for the difference Of To-
cation.
After giving due weight to all Il e
elements of this important question and
with an earnest desire 20 reach logical
conclusions, based upon substantial
facts. the commission believes that a
canal can be built across the isthmus
on this route for not exceeding sllS,-
1l3 100.
Colonel Hains concurs generally with
the views of the other members Of the
commission, but his estimate Of the
cost is $l34, SlS, 30S. "
