A Shifting Fortune.

A wealthy woman invited a younger
woman to go to Europe with her.
After the plans had been made, the
younger woman's husband decided to
go, too. "All right" said the rich
woman, "but he will have to pay his
own expenses" 1t was settled that
they should go together on this basis,
and the woman of means was SO much
pleased that she informed her COM
panions that before sailing she had
made her will. leaving large share of
her estate to them. They had been
gone only short time, however. when
cloud appeared in the sky. The man
bought flowers for his wife and paid
her other attentions which the older
woman resented. A quarrel resulted,
and the man and his wife returned to
their home without the old lady.
When she got back she changed her
will and left her property to her doc
tor. His refusal to give her a coveted
plant caused her to cut him of. Her
present will lea, es the money to
church, but the chances are that she
Will live to disapprove Of it.-New

THE VILLAGE DOCTOR.

Along the village streets where NAPLES lean
Together like old friends about the way,
faithful pair oft and anon were seen
He and his nag, both growing old and
gray.
What secrets lurked within that old souls
breast
OF mother-love, of throb Of pains and ills,
All safely kept beneath that buttoned vest,
Receptacle Of powders and of pills.
Thrice happy he when some fond mothers
eyes
Grew moist with love unspeakable to find
Shrugged to her breast her babe whose par
adise
Within her soul and bosom were entwined.
How oft he held the wrist to mark the slow
Pulsations of the feebly tiut ring heart,
While his kind words, soft-murmuring and
low.
Essayed to calm the mourner's pain and
smart.
he was to all a father, brother, friend;
Their joys were his, their SORROWS were his
own.
He slept for years whore yonder willows
bend
Above the violets that kiss the stone.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
Louis Napoleon Wanted to Check Power
of United States.

of United States.
Mrs. Sara Y. Stevenson in the Cen
tury recalls the details of the scheme
to have Louis Napoleon (then Prince
take charge OF the building of Trans
Islnmian canal. The prince, who
was then a prisoner in the fortress OF
ham for lis attempt on the throne
Of Louis Philippe, even promised. II
he should be released for this purpose,
to return to prison after it's execution.
Speaking of the year 1916, Mrs. Stew
enson says:
in mis- work "Le Canal de Nicara-
qua" published about this time, he re-
viewed the five parts of the isthmus
which, IN his opinion, offered possible
ties for transisthmian canal: Te-
huantepec, Nicaragua, Panama, and
| two lines across the Isthmus of Dari-
Ell. Like the French political econo-
mist M Michael Chevalier, he dismiss
| cd off-hand the first one and The last
| two as expensive or otherwise unfav-
| cable, ana he strongly inclined toward
| Nicaragua as superior to Panama IN
| natural wealth, healthfu.ness. and
| availability.
The most important part of the
scheme was the creating of prosper
Gus Central American state capable
Of holding its own against the grow
ing inflence of the great northern
power tue rapid development of which
was even then giving anxiety to Euro
pcan statesmen.
European powers, he wrote, must be
pleased to see Nicaragua take high
rank among states. England itself
could not fail to look with approval
upon the creation Of a considerable
power which. by supporting Mexico,
might be able to check new encroach.
ments from the north.
Owing to their geographical situa-
ton, he regarded Leon or Masaya %
calculated to become modern Garth
age Of western Constautinople, that i.
Is, a central point in the western com.
mercial world.
In the mind Of Prince Louis Napo.
Icon at this early date. the proposed
rlan was not merely simple time
saving cut across the istmus for the
purpose Of facilitating Eurcpe's inter-
course with Asia and Australia; it
must, above ALL make of Central
America strong maritime state, pros
Porous through the development Of it's
own resources and through the crea-
ton Of g.eat emporium. This pros
rerity was to be fostered by means of
colonization. Part OF his plan was to
attract European population interested
in the success of the venture. He sug-
gested Offering to each immigrant
stakeholder 20 acres at arabic land.
tc be purchased by him at a nominal
price. Ten years were to be allowed
him in which to pay for his holding,
as we'll as for such advances as might
be made by the company for tools
and the preliminary expenses necessa-
ry to enable the colonist to make a Il
start.
Inc prince advocated San Juan de
Nicaragua, on the Gulf of Mexico, and
Realjo, on the Pacific coast, as the ter
mini of the canal, claiming that no
other points of the coast could in any
respect be found to compare with
these. The cost of such a waterway.
capable of floating vessels of 1900 tons,
he then estimated at 10O,CvO,0vv francs.
