The Great Canal.

becoming n great factor in the trade
Of the world. the canal Is needed and
the people have been very anxious
that something be done at once. so
that Congress feels impelled to act.
The Bulwer-C Clayton treaty has stood
in the way for fifty years. but that IS
no longer an obstacle. The treaty
provided that no canal could be con-
structed connecting the Atlantic and
Pacific without the consent and partl-
cipation Of Great Britain in the enter.
prise. If there ever was reason for the
existence of such an arrangement
there certainly Is none now: yet the
English government refused during
the administration of President Arthur
to yield the advantage then secured.
When Secretary Hay came into Office
he renewed negotiations looking to
the abrogation of the old treaty, with
the result that new one has just
been concluded with removes this OBJ

Waterways.

It seems a little singular that in
these days Of wonderful railroad de-
velopment there should be such a gen
eral turning toward the improvement
of waterways on n scale never before
attempted. The Chicago drainage ca
nal, by whose excavation Il has been
sought to not only get rid of the sew
age of a great city, but to connect the
lakes with the Mississippi and the
Gulf of Mexico. is apparently an en-.
terprise now only fairly begun Al.
though about SOB 600, 900 has already
been expended upon It. and several
millions will be needed TO even carry
out the original plans. 1t is now COM
ing to be believed that theseplans will
have to be materially changed. much
Of the work be done over again. and
sums of money yet expended which
will make the investment up to this
time seem a comparatively small af-
fair. The results of the turning Of the
water into the great ditch have not
been exactly what was expected Al
though the full volume of the food
from the lake has not yet been turned
in, the current is swifter than was an
ticipated. the stage of water has been
somewhat reduced so that it is feared
that large vessels cannot as heretofore
traverse the Chicago river. thus cut
ting off from it business almost Who'll

along the way. A number of engineers
have expressed the opinion that the

and that much other work will have

much remains to be done.
The fear of losing much of its export
trade is leading many capitalists OF
New York TO consider the feasibility

HIS IDEAL WOMAN.

Man has a number OF fixed. old-fash.
ioned notions about the ideal woman
which are quite apart from questions
OF complexion and dress, writes Car.
rie Il. Garrett In the Woman's Home
Companion. The sober truth is that.
while men may seek diversion with
the more showy, fiippant type Of girl.
and are often caught by mere glitter,
they have an ideal far, far above this
cheap type which is imperishable. A
man does not picture a completely
limp and characterless creature as his
souls ideal, however sweet" Yet the
woman as she appears in his dreams
is not too clever. IL is pleasure to

trne woman desires to 'loolS up" II Is
clear that natures arrangements, in
these matters are not without design.
The most charming woman Of all Is
she who has the consummate wit TO
seem to look up when really she
stands on a level with the man who
loves her or perchance n little above
him.
One thing imperatively demanded ia
the makeup Of the ideal woman Is
sympathy-th that all divlnlng. all-forgiv-
ing quality which makes the whole
world akin. sympathy is one OF the
prime factors OF charm. So is humor.
A man is fearfully lonesome when his
wife cannot see his jokes. She could
ofier him a more deadly affront than
TO laugh In the wrong place at his
pet stories. The ideal woman is rellgi-
ous-has the wise. sweet old-fashloned
notions about right and wrong. A man
Is quite capable of making merry over
his wife's scruples Of conscience. but

worldly way she was guided chiefly

prayers himself. but he loves to know
