completed, begun and proposed.
One of the greatest is the Chi
cago drainage canal, one of the
greatest if not the greatest ever
constructed. 1t is IS miles long,
202 feet wide and the water, %
feet deep. 1t has cost $50, 600, 600
The water is pumped into the
canal from the Chicago river and
carried down the Desplains and
Illinois rivers to the Miss issippi.
A portion of the canal follows
the bed of stream that was
filled up during the great Ice Age
before which time the outlet of
the Great Lakes was to the Gulf
Of Mexico. Another great engln-
eering feat is that being carried

horrors. anguish, havoc and waste.
But how utterly opposed to common sense
such contention IS. To destroy the
strongest bulls. the finest cows and the
most promising calves OF a herd OF cattle
is to leave the weakest OF the herd to
continue the breed. This is the best way to
insure the degeneration of the breed. To
procure a herd descended from the best 1t
is necessary TO weed out the weak and the
lean and u'spromising. II is the A B Of
the breeders knowledge. The illustration
can be applied TO the race OF men TO make
more forcible the argument against the
value OF war TO a nation. The nature Of a
race is determined by the qualities of those

| and that showing to the greatest advan-
tage.
Bob is very musical, and in January,
when sitting in my study with the door
open. he began what was his courtship.
His singing was constant, se-ee-seet-seeee-
se-e-et when sitting; and this became so
insistent. loud and endless that it became
monotonous, and decided to break it up.
The only weapon at hard. was the hose.
and I turned the fine spray upon him one
morning In the midst of a particularly
noisy serenade. But Bob interpreted my
attack as an invitation, and dived down
from his perch in the orange tree and re-
peatedly darted through the spray, delight
ed at the opportunity to battle at my ex-
pense, completely turning the tables on me.
To see this radiant. scintillating. living
gem flashing in and out of the spray was
charming spectacle indeed. and I re-
signed myself to fate and made no more at
tempts to evict Bob. who is chattering his
thanks or his laughter in my ear as
write.
His courtship was a wonderful perform
ance, and was a combination of song and
high and lofty tumbling for the benefit of
demure female who perched on a neigh
boring branch. Suddenly. without warn
ing, he would dart upward with the We
locity Of an arrow, attaining a great
height, where he seemed a mere speck In
the empyrean. then posing for a moment
he came down like meteorite, cutting the
trembling air like knife, producing a most
curious whistling sound. When within a
few feet Of the earth he rose perhaps fifty
feet, fiuttered a moment, then repeated the
swooping score of times: and as feat of
aerial gymnastics it was remarkable ex-
hibition which. doubtless. made deep i'm
preston upon the demure hummer at whom
it was directed.

AS a means Of curing insomnia Professor
Huxley called attention to natures plan
of inducing sleep by limiting the supply
of oxygen to the blood, illustrating this
by the fact that cats and dogs bury their
noses In their hair or fur and that birds
put their heads under their wings. Apply
ing this to practical use, Professor Hulk
ley suggested that those suffering from
sleeplessness should cover their heads with
the bed clothes, breathing and rebreathing
only the respired air, thus inducing drowsi-
ness which soon merges into Sleep the
bed clothing being pushed aside when the
drowsness manifests itself so that fresh
air may be breathed during sleep.

There Is common belief that in almost
all heart diseases a stimulant is neces-
sary, but this is a dangerous mistake. In
many cases sedatives are needed. especially
in cases of dilation of the heart, or as it
is properly called. enlarged heart" espe-
cially If a person has been engaged in a
life where extreme muscular activity is
one. In other words a. heart may be too
large and too active for quiet life and
rest, and sedatives are necessary to tone
the heart down; otherwise it will literally
wear itself out, and stimulants only hasten
the end

All movements for Improvement are liable
to be carried to excess, as a suggestion
made in London shows. Believers in a
higher education proposed to require butch
ers and fishmongers to pass a compulsory
examination in the use of the microscope,
the idea being that these experts could de-
tect dangerous microbes in the food sold by
them. Some day. perhaps. our food may
be Endorsed ''microscopicaily examined"
and If that ever comes to pass there will
be good field for unsuccessful physicians
who may turn to microscopical butchers or
fish dealers.

An upland fringed with orchard trees.
A meadow with its droning bees;
Between the two a marish wedge
OF rushes green and angled sedge,
Wherein a brook has lost it's way
Amid the tangled shadows play,
And by it's dream OF deep repose
The bladed sweet-hag's beauty grows
Across the pool the skaters pass
Nor ripple-print its limpid glass:
In zigzag lines moth-millers sail
And dragon-fiies in purple mail:
The watercresses fringe its side:
And through IL water-beetle slide
Fierce. hungry rovers black and grim.
And peep-frogs pipe their evening hymn.
Along the margin OF the stream
The fragrant water lilies dream.
And arrowhead and turtle-hsad
And fris's hammered wings are spread.
While over them the cat-tails dun.
With brown clubs lifted in the sun.
Stand straight and tall as II to show
Where greener blades OF calamus grow
Between the marsh and meadows bound
The sweet-hag's hidden wealth is found.
In blacklist mold IL has its BIRTH
The life-blood Of its honest worth:
Its wrinkled roots, all fbrous grown
Have magic virtues of their oWnt-

These boyhood pictures in the brain!
