Doing II Well,

Half heartedness never wins In this
world. If thing is not worth doing,
do not do 1t, is a good rule. The late
Robert Louis Stevenson was always
an enthusiast in whatever he under
took, even when at play.
His stepdaughter. Mrs. Isabel Strong,
who was for a time his amanuensis,
says that Stevenson used TO maintain
that no one could write a good story
who was not a good player-who could
not enter fully into the spirit OF a
game. He himself threw all his ener-
gies into whatever he might be play
Ing.
At one time he was visiting a house
where small boy was playing boat"
on the sofa. When the lad got tired.
he did not wait for the ship to come
TO port, but got down from the sofa
and walked toward the door.
Stevenson, who was watching him
eagerly, cried out TO him In apparent
alarm: "Oh. don't do that Swim at
least!-Youth's Companion.

Empire State-and indirectly the entire
West-comprehend that the expeDdi-
ture of $4,000 a mile for 1868 miles
win not be thrown away.
The third great scheme is that of the
Nicaragua canal. This has justly been
termed the most gigantic hydraulic
project of any age. The preliminary
estimate of cost Is S140,000,000, and the
physical obstacles seem almost insur-
mountable. For many years it has been
the dream of enterprise to unite the At
lantic and Pacific oceans by a maritime
canal cut across either the Isthmus of
Panama or Central America. The
Panama project, engineered by the late
Ferdinand De Lesseps, was abandoned
for lack of funds after nearly 100000
600 had been expended on eighteen
miles of the forty-six miles of survey.
A new company was organized, and
work Is being done by some 1000 men.
The progress, however, is slow, and
unless this government decides upon
the Panama route, 1t Is probable that
the work will be abandoned aud the
millions put into 1t will be wholly lost
A new company has formed TO con
troll the enterprise. 1t got into Difficult
ties, and Congress was appealed to. II

81 make 1t rule never to touch
stair rail, especially In an office block
or public building" said a prominent
physician of this city. There Is no
doubt In my mind that many con-
tagious diseases are communicated
through them, and the theory certainly
has common sense to back ii. People
who are In good health very seldom use
the handrail in mounting a fight of
stairs, but those who are sick or weak
are quite apt to need its assistance. If
they happen to have some contagious
disease, especially some form of ecze-
ma, the next person who comes in con-
tact with the rail stands an excellent
chance of catching 1t. | have treated
several people for skin disease in my
private practice who first showed signs
of the malady on the palms of their
hands, and l am convinced that stair
rails were the source of infection.
'There is historic example, by the
way, of the readiness with which GER
tain forms of eczema may be trans
ferred through some such an agency
as l suggest. During the siege Of
Toulon, Napoleon, who was then a
sublieutenant of artillery. is said to
have snatched the swabbing rod from
a clumsy gunner and helped serve the
piece himself for several rounds. The
gunner happened to have an unpleas-
ant skin disease, and the sublieutenant
was an emperor before he got rid of
it"-New Orleans Times-Democrat.

THE CRiMEAN WAR.
II Was Started In Controversy
Over a Door Key.

As an instance of what great events
can follow trivial happenings the
genesis of the Crimean war Is inter-
esting.
In 1851 Louis Napoleon demanded of
the sultan that the Latin monks should
have a key to the great door of the
church at Bethlehem; that they should
have a key to each of the doors Of the
Cave to the Nativity and the privilege
of setting up there a silver star bear
ing the arms OF France.
After year OF arduous negotiation
the Turkish government yielded, and
In February, 1853, the keys were hand
ed over to the Latin monks, and the
silver star was established In the sane
tuary OF Bethlehem.
Unfortunately Emperor Nicholas, as
head of the Greek church. considered
this an infringement of his rights and
Immediately ordered 10000 men
across the Turkish frontier. At the
same time he demanded that the
claims of the Christian population OF
Turkey should be secured by treaty
with himself, but the sultan refused
this, with the support of France, Aus
tria and Prussia.
The car then proceeded to seize the
Danubian provinces, proclaiming at the
same time that he had mo intention
to commence war"
The central European countries at
tempted to secure compromise, but
neither party would agree to their
mediation, and In October the sultan
declared war.
England and France Joined him, and
so from such slight beginnings sprang
the most merciless. bloody and fruit

tury.-New York Journal.

around Cape Horn. and opening up a
direct route from Europe and the At
lantic coast to Asia. The tonnage is
variously estimated from 100000 to
S,oO0,O00, the toll averaging S1.55 per
ton. The cost of operation and mainte-
nance would be 100000 per annum.
The rate of progress through the canal
would be eight miles an hour, or forty
five hours for the trip. Two artificial
harhors would have 10 be constructed.
The labor and the sanitary problems
are the hardest TO handle. Chinese,
Italians and Jamaica negroes have so
far proven the best workers. but the
local conditions need not imperil even
white lives, if proper precautions are
taken. The strategic value of the canal
is appreciated. and defensive works
would be constructed so that In case of
war mines operated by electrical KEYS
sould keep an enemy at bay, while
Strong fortifications would guard either
end Of the canal.

"0h. nothing of any Importance" he

Now, If he had simply thrown II

have thought nothing of 1t, but the
care he took to put 1t clear over in

his action had been observed aroused
her curiosity. She wondered what II
