Mixed His Metaphors.

A prize essay on temperance was re- gently published in Liverpool, Eng land, but whoever adjudicated the prizes must have been fond of mixed
 metaphores. Here is paragraph
 from the successful paper. The writer enlarged on the evil of sending chill dren for beer, thus: They sip some out of the jugs as they wend their way home, thus introducing the thin end of the wedge, which is certain to spring up into harvest of drunken ness. Think, oh, think, of these weary little ones going down life's hill over q thorny road. They are bound to float out into eternity, with no hand to shake their dying pillow. Brethren, pray for them, and help to lift them out of the quicksands, which will burn into their very souls" It is alleged that when the author of this literary composition received sovereign for his work he entered the nearest pub lie house and got s'gloriously drunk"

pan-American congres. Rests.

CITY OF MEXICO, Nov. S.-The ar bitration committee of the pan-Ameri- can congress held q session yesterday afternoon Upon motion of MT. Buchan- an of the United States it was decided to adjourn until the 18th inst. in order to allow time for an interchange of views among the delegates about the Mexican project for the arbitration treaty. The United States delegates are noncommittal about the Mexican proj- ect for the arbitration treaty. They say it is merely an individual project and that others are to follow. The chief thing, they say. is to do nothing in haste The conference, it is thought, must last at least three months.

New York Canals show Gains.

ALBANY, Nov. S.-The state canals will close for traffic at midnight on Saturday, Nov. 30. That is the plan of Superintendent John N. Partridge of the state department of public works, and it will be announced in q few days in formal notice unless conditions arise which would make a change of date necessary. The season has been an exceedingly profitable one to canalboatmen, judging from the ton mage carried Although the canals opened two and q half weeks later this year than in the spring of 1900, yet the total number of tons carried up to Nov. l this year was 2,942. .347 as compared with 2,S6S,526 carried up to the same date last year.
