Got "a He up Ola story.

Over 20 years ago an American civil
engineer, who visited Cabecera, in
Venezuela. was asked by deputatlon
of the inhabitants, who Lad heard OF
his skill as surveyor, whether he
thought n canal could be made from
their village 10 Provecuc, which would
save very long river journey. He
visited the district ana found that by
taking advantage of two small streams
a canal CT about league would be all
that was necessary.
The conrnittee were delighted with
this report, and they begged the sur
yeyor to write an official letter TO the
government on their behalf, asking
that they might be permitted to begin
the work at once.
Ten years after this the surveyor
was again at the village of Cabecera
and the first question asked him was
do you not think canal could be
made from here to ProvecueT
On his informing them that he had
been asked the same question ten years
before and had taken some time and
trouble about the matter the chairman
replied that on account Of politics, the
death of his father, etc, the govern
ment letter had probably been over
looked. Search was made, the letter
was found and once more all was eX-
element Nothing was talked about
but the canal.
Some years later yet the surveyor
was again at Cabecera. Immediately
on his arrival deputation waited upon
him. do you think a canal The
speaker never got any further with
that question.-Youth's Companion.

Nine. MacMahon had fortune OF
her own, and when her husband be-
came president of the French republic
they entertained most splendldly. She
gave not only the official dinners and
balls, but one or two private entertain
ments each week. She became as de-
voted Catholic as her husband
When MacMahon saved the French
army ut Buffalona, he won the mar
shals baton and the title of Due de Ma

beck the Empress Eugene and Sex

the audience a dress OF reddish violet

The empress admired the color, which
was new, and suggested II should be
called magenta in compliment to the
new duchess. At the imperial dinner
given to the officers OF the Italian cam
pasgn she wore velvet train of the
new color.

Evidence Lacking.

In 1870 the contractors firm of Com
stock & White was doing business at
Fort Wallace. In the course OF quar-
rel Comstock killed White. White
had brother in New York, n lawyer,
who came out to visit the law upon
his brothers slayer. Comstock was
arrested and brought before Judge
Joyce at Hays City. The prisoner
walked into the courtroom Judge
Joyce's saloon) with two big six shoot
ers belted to his hips.
"Misther Comstock, We are charged
with willful murther. Are We guilty
or not guilty." asked the judge.
Guilty." was the laconic response.
This was entirely beyond Judge
Joyce's calculations. He had no prece-
dent for such a case and no power or
inclination to visit out penalty, and
80, with great Indignation, he shouted:
'Ye are fool for tellin it! Did any
wan see We do itY'
NO." was the prisoners response.
Thin Oh discharge We fer want OF
ividence," declared his honor, and
thereupon all the boys moved up TO
the bar and took "sunthin" with Mr..
Comstock.

whnt Old Sawyer Said.

Senator Sawyer considered himself
personally responsible for n Republic
an majority in Wisconsin and was
quite sensitive on that subject.
During the Garfield campaign l was
sitting one day in his simple Office at
Oshkosh when a gentleman, then IN
known but now occupying prominent
position in public affairs, appeared
with letter of Introduction from Mar
shall Jewell OF Connecticut, chairman
Of the Republican national committee,
who stated that the bearer had been in.
structed to visit Wisconsin for the pur.
pose Of making a report upon the po-
litical situation and the prospects of
the Republican ticket. This pricked
the old mans pride. He resented, in
his good natured way, the invasion OF
his territory, and | noticed that his
face flushed as he read the letter Aft
er looking out of the window for Il few
moments he looked at his watch, hand
ed back the letter of introduction to his
surprised visitor and remarked with
deliberation:
There's a train leaving here at D
o'clock that will get you into New York
day after tomorrow morning, and I'll
send up one OF my boys to see that you
get aboard. When you get to New
York, you tell Jewell that old Sawyer
read that letter and said there was
nothing for you TO report on. You
might add, however, that old Sawyer
asked you who was looking after
things in Connecticut. Chicago Rec

Very few persons can eat the white
of n hard boiled egg. with any degree
of comfort. Eggs are highly nu,ri-
tious and easy Of digestion when light
ly or under cooked. The albumen, the
white of the egg, coagulates as soon
as 1t is dropped into hot water. The
long boiling renders the yolk soft and
mealy, but the white becomes tough
and indlgestible and should be dis
carded.-Ladies' Home Journal.

Much has been written about the
mother-ln-law, nearly all of it in COM
planning jest. In all of the flippant
literature on this subject there is only
one point worthy of consideration
that the writer's. almost invariably
men, have never tried to veil their in
sincerity. This is tribute from man,
even in his most playful moods, to the
substantial worth of his mother-in-law.

On the part of the state government. the
progress of education in the Tinted
States has been marvellous. Instead of
n'ne colleges as in ,lutionary
times, we pow have nearly live hundred
colleges. The daily attendance of the
school children in the states and terri
tories of the Union is $4,000, 900, who
are educated at yearly expense of
over 5,00O,00O. This seems ouite
expensive and unnecessary to some that
the government should spend so much
Tor education. But in order to render
SAFETY to state, education is necessary.
Many of the victories of the decisive
battles of the world that have been
fought depended upon the educated men
and leaders that composed the army.
One OF the best illustrations of this
TACT Is the defeat of the Chinese by the
educated IN their last war. Another
thing why state should educate is for
the benefit Of the industrial progress
Had it not been for the establishment Of
such perfect educational system III the
United States, many of the remarkable
inventions during the nineteeoth century
would have been impossible. Before
many of these inventions had been made
it required quite muscular force to do
certain work but through the inven-
tlons of all these different machines
work is made much easier.
In order that everyone NAV oct bene-

can easily be reached by every child
born into American citizenship and
some wise way has been accomplished bv
our government that everyone must at
tend school for limited time.

This phenomina however has an existence

lege deaf-mutes have been fitted to be

no Idle boast to say that the school sys-
