"The present condition of the Pana- ma canal may be summed up as fol lows" writes a contributor in the New England Engineering Magazine: ''The operations of the new company have demonstrated that the route possesses so great natural advantages that when completed it will control the transit of the Isthmus. The estimates of the in- ternational commission of engineers representing not only France, but also England, Germany, Russia, the United States and Colombia, have placed the cost of completion of q canal suited to all the probable needs of navigation for fifty years, and admitting of en- largement if ever desirable, at $1O0,- 100000, only half of the costs of con- struction of the Nicaragua canal as es timated by the Isthmian canal com mission. The new company has every thing is readiness to begin work on a grand scale, except the funds. If the United States do not care to own the route is it to be supposed, in view ot the approaching commercial struggle between the great maritime powers that $100,O0O0OO will not be forthcom- ing to win the prize!"

QUEER CREATURES ARE WOMEN
Some of them are, Says a Cynical
 Masculine Observer.


 Some of them are, Says Cynical
 Masculine Observer.
 Women are certainly curious crea- tures,D said a cynical citizen, and the wonder to me is that they ever make wise selection in marriage. do not mean to say anything unkind, for no man has deeper or more profound re- gard for women than I have, and I admire Drummond chiefly because he said that woman represents evolution s natures, Gods highest achievement, and she was really the climax of all these forces, and they reached their limit in her creation a result the forces had been striving to bring about from the very beginning of time. I believe this is true. Being of a cynical turn of mind l am not inclined to admit that the world is wholly good, but what good there is on this old planet is to be found in the other sex.
 But why is it that we are constant ly confronted by the perverseness of woman's taste in the matter of choos- ing between men as we find it, for in- stance ill the stage portrayals? Take the average play and we will generally find the woman's lover drifting toward some fellow who is totally unworthy, a fellow who is a yeritable scalawag in all that the word means.
 1. ''In nine cases out of ten it is nee essary to kill a few men in order to protect some good woman one the stage from the fearful tortures of liv- ing all her life with an unworthy man. At least one man will have to be put out of the way, and if the play happens to be of the melodramatic kind, why, there is no limit to the number of fel- lows who will be sacrificed in order to get the woman out of a bad matrimo- nial bargain. Are mems ideals higher than the ideals of women? Is the hero ic and the sublime in mans nature more highly developed and more deli cately outlined than these same inn pulses in the nature of the fairer sex? Fiction, you know, and fiction of the standard sort, is filled with women of the kind I have mentioned. Of course, they are not all of the kind I have been discussing. Shakespeare's women, for instance, are made of Sterner stuff, and historical examples of the stronger and more thoroughly balanced kind are not lacking. There are the women of the French revolution, who lowered above the men like giantresses. There are our own noble women who struggled through the blood and tears that drenched the eos, and others might be mentioned for we may count all around us the good examples of wise women in all of life's relations.
 "But I was just thinking lightly about the apparent natural devotion which a woman has for the scalawag, and in a majority of cases, if she is called upon to make selection be- tween two men, she will lean toward the fellow who needs reclamation, in deed, if she does not take him. If you do not believe it, keep a tab on them for . while" New Orleans Times Democrat

FASTS ONCE A WEEK.

Il have rather novel way of pro- tecting myself against indigestion and Kindred complaints" said one Bohem- ian to another, "and after having tried 1t for series of years am convinced that 1t is the most logical thing in the world to do. I never suffer from in- digestion and yet I am very hearty eater and can eat almost anything.
 Put me on the plainest food in the world, hardtack or cornpone, or even on the diet they serve on some of the ships running, to South Africa, and I will flourish like green bay tree. The fact of the business is stood the army diet during the Cuban war and got through all right. I can stand any thing My system is very simple and instead of being expensive I save by it. save the worth of one days board
 out of every week, or fifty-two days during the year, which is nearly two months, or say, one-sixth of the amount a man would spend for board during lifetime This is no small thing. It will keep a man in clothes if he is not extravagant, and not a fashionable dresser, and since do not pretend to be fashionable my plan has the additional virtue of keeping me in
 clothes. My scheme? It is very simple. For twenty-four consecutive hours once every week I go without putting bite of anything to eat in
 my stomach. l do not. even eat light food. I simply fast. It is not d question of religion and not hobby. It is a scientific play I may say it is almost Biblical, for are we not com manded to rest one day out of every
 seven? I simply give my stomach and my digestive system and all of my as- similating functions the same privilege which is accorded to me as man a divinely ordained privilege, too. I be- gan the practice several years ago and I have not been sick day since adopted it. My advice to my friends
 is to follow my plan and fast for one whole day each week. That's all right" quoth the listening Bohemian, 'sbut there are other ways which en- able man to escape from the horrors of indigestion. Take my scheme, for instance! You fast one day out of each week. I fast six. I never eat except on pay day, and pay day comes once a week, and I will give you my word for it my stomach never suffers from anything like oyercrowding. On the basis of calculation adopted by you i'll short time man ought to be q millionaire by adopting my plan of feasting one day and fasting six, and when you come to figure it out it's a big thing" And the. one-day man whis- tied idly as he passed out of the room.

The president is evincing the great est interest in the preparations for the reception of Prince Henry of Prussia, who will come to this country to be present at the launching of the kaiser $ yacht and who will afterwards visit Washington, presumably as. the guest of Dr Won Hollenben, the German ann bassador. He will be appropriately entertained by the president. The builders of the yacht are the authority for the statement that the kaiser de sires to further compliment Miss Roosevelt by naming the royal yacht Alice in her honor. In addition to his suite the prince will bring with him the band of the Second naval division, which is one of the. crack bands of Ger many.

THE CHRISTMAS TIME.

Brightly the embers are blazing, Brightly the festive cups shine, Round the board soft eyes are gazing, Radiant and sparkling as wine. Faces long pale are now beaming With laughter and loving delight; Clouds long unbroken are gleaming With flashes of moonlight tonight Cead mille failthe, old Christmas, Merrily rings the wild chime, Cead mille failthe, old Christmas, Hurrah for. the brave Christmas
 time.
 Silent the mill wheel of labor; Silent the office and mart, The soldier has sheathed his saber, The student is merry at heart. Over the snow misted heather Cottages mantle with light, While we sit toasting together The hopes and the joys of the night. Cead mille failthe, old Christmas, Merrily dings the wild chimes; Cead mille failthe, old Christmas, Hurrah for the brave Christmas
 time.
 Here's to the brave men of Ireland, At home or i'll exile away; Here's to the hopes of our sireland, Thatsneyer shall rust or decay. To every brave, downtrodden nation, Here's liberty, glorious and bright, But, oh! let our country's salvation Be toasted the warmest tonight Cead mille failthe, old Christmas, Merrily dings the wild chime; Cead mille failthe, old Christmas, Hurrah for the brave Christmas
 time.

THE MINIATURE FAD.

Midget miniatures are the latest de velopment of the craze for this par ticular pigmy form of art, but for all that they are a revival For years ever since there were miniatures, in fact there have been midget minia- lures. Painted upon ivory they have appeared as brooches, marquise rings pendants, bracelets-even as earrings. Watches bonbons and snuff boxes have revelled in them. Toilet sets in ivory and gilt, and walking silks have made use of them. The midget miniature as revived is very fond of decorating umbrella handles.
 1t marks the latest novelty in that form of ornamentation. There is, how ever, something very fetching as well as fashionable in an oval white medal lion with painted face set in gilt smiling at you every time you look down at your umbrella handle. Of course, umbrellas so decorated are by no means inexpensive, neither are they to, be regarded lightly.
 To lose them is a misfortune of deep- est dye; to lend them out of the ques- ton. You might as well talk of lending locket or love letter. It is an ac- cepted fact that the miniatured um- brella handle stands even more for sentiment than it does for fashion. Al ready there are imitation midget min- iatures. Painted coarsely upon eel luloid. they bear quite a close. relation to the original. Which means, of course, that the days of the original are numbered. Just let any imitation article become sufficiently plentiful and it's good-by to whatever it is endeay- bring to initiate.

Father Harty. who was formerly a 3pastor in this city, and his parishion- CTS in New Britain have the sympathy of the Catholics of this city, as we'll Jas of the whole diocese, in the loss
 that has befallen them. The burning
 of their handsome new church is not only loss to the Catholics, but to all the people of New Britain. The church was one of the handsomest in New England, and the adjacent parochial house was also a beautiful and com people, we are sure, will not be found
 wanting when Father Harty makes an
 appeal for a fund to rebuild the church.

'.
 Of that country may deplore the fact, but fact it is. It was our resistance to her plan to make herself the center of the worlds manufactures which pe- gan to set a limit to her growth or ln- dustry. It was through the influence of our success that Germany and Can ada at the same moment threw off the industrial yoke and set an example which has been followed by the Brlt- ish colonies and the European coun- tries. 1t is our development of the steel and iron industries which has robbed England of the control of the most important of all the great man ufactures, and the one in which she thought herself the farthest from riv- airy. It was 1864 before we pro- duced as much as a million tons or iron a year; and 1869 before we reach ed two millions. Last year we pro duced 13, ,7S9, ,243 tons of iron, and 1O,- 087,321 tons of steel, against Eng lands S,96S,5T0 of iron and 4,9O1, ,Oo4 of steel. We thus nearly double her production of the staple which is the best index of national wealth, for iron and steel constitute the great indus trial thermometer, as being articles of universal use, to whose consumption there is no limit set by personal neces- sity as there is to food and clothing. And the fact is the more striking as England makes iron and steel for half the world, while we consume almost all we produce and import besides"

An effort is being made by some of our law makers to improve the con sular service of the country. The sen ator from Massachusetts is most de- sirous of establishing the consular ser vice on a basis that would make it a fitting career for the young men of the country. 'In these days of special ties," he said, "the best service comes from those who are especially fitted by capacity and education for their work. The foreign trade of the United States is growing rapidly and we should have the best representative abroad that it is possible to secure. With that end in view I have framed this bill along lines that will offer an inducement to our brightest young men to enter the consular service. For many years, at least, the promotion will be rapid and the consul generalships at the top will prove sufficiently lucrative positions to inspire the ambitions of all the worthy 1 men in the service' In reply to a question the senator said: Tt was my intention to so draw the bill as to make promotion from the consular ser vice to the diplomatic service possible, and at first I attempted to so frame it, but found that it would make the measure too complicated. That will come in time, however. The time is not far distant when the consular and diplomatic service of the United States will afford the most honorable careers to the best and brightest young men in the country and by taking them at the beginning of their business experience and training them for the work the best interests of the country will be served.''
