CANAL. LESSON FROM sCEZ.
New York Tribune,

Last weeks yearly report uf the
sues Canal directors was an instruc-
tive document 1t had peculiar in
terest to those Of us who remember
the days before De Lesseps dug his
mighty ditch. days which We're filled
with scorn and ridicule of that pros
pect, and with mathematical demon
strationS OF the impoSsibility of Its
ever being made TO pay. The Suez
Canal was reyiied in advance almost
as much as tine Erie Canal was by the
Tammany Hail foes Of Clinton. and
perhaps as much as the Nicaragua
scheme has been by the special plead
ers of transcontinental railroads. Even
when Disraell at Frederick Green
woods suggestion. purchased from
Great Britain the Khedive's shares.
and incidentally gave Punch the theme
OF its famous most in Egitto" cartoon
there were many of Y1o Golefuliy
prophesied mo returns from the in
vestment. For now many years how
ever, the success and the perunlary
profit OF that canal have bean amrly
established.
During the year they have been
greater than ever before The pre-
vious maximum was attained in 1899
when the canal was traversed by
S6O7 vessels, of e.265s2O tong. Last
year the number of ships was S699 OF
1O.S23,s40 tons The total receipts.
chiefly, of course, from transit tolls,
were $2O,624,260 and working expenses
We're $5.149.2CO If to the latter we sdd
the charges of the redemption and in
surance funds. and those of the inter
est and redemption funds on bonds and
stock we have total expenditure of
ss,O49,335. That leaves the handsome
surplus of $12,575,O1O. with SO favora-
BILE showing, it is not surprising to
learn that the directors have declared
a net dividend of S25 a share, which
is larger by 81. 40 than any ever de-
clared before. AT the same time they
have announced a reduction Of tolls
from s1.sO TO $40, and they estimate
confidently that with the increase Of
traffic. the receipts in 1903 at the re-
duced rate will be as great az they
were in 1901 at the old rate They
also announce that hereafter when
ever there is an increase If dividends,
there will be corresponding reduction
Of tolls. 1t may bs added, by the
way. that the British shares, for which
Disraeli paid the Khediye $4,000, go,
are now worth s125,OOOOOO.
Nov, the bearing Of this Observa-
ton lays in the application on it."
Suppose we should apply it, in the
fashion of the Rule Of Three, to onr
own much opposed and much decried
Isthmtan canal enterprise? AS the
disparagement Of the suez Canal was,
or is, to that Of the American 18TH
mian canal 50 is, or will be, the success
Of the former to that Of the latter can
al Or as to the expectations con-
cerning the one have been exceeded
BY It's success, so viii the expectations
concerning the other he exceeded by
It's success. Any way you look at it,,
there is much encouragement for our
Isthaan canal.

I Feel So I ired.

How often do we hear this and similar
expressions from tired, overworked women
and weary men, who do not know where to
find relief. For that intense weariness, so
common and so discouraging, we earnestly
recommend Vogeler's Curative Compound.
1t is not a stimulant but true blood purifier
and strength restoring tonic, safe and sure,
which will gradually build up all the weak
organs in such way as to be a lasting
benefit. A fair trial of free sample bottle
which St. Jacobs Oil, Ltd, of Baltimore,
Md, will send you for the asking, will con.
Jvince anyone of its wonderful medicinal
value. 1t will drive all impurities from the
blood, give nerve, mental and bodily strength
and vigour and make the sufferer wholly
new being. 1t creates an appetite, makes one
sleep and makes the weak strong. Do not
forget that Vogeler's Curative Compound
is made from the formula of a London
physician, who has given years of study to
same. Sample bottle free from St Jacobs
Oil, Ltd, Baltimore.

A plumb line and bob is suspended

is straight and placed in a level posi-
ton, the line will hang at right angles
with it. Have the edge of the latb
planed. Take sharp pencil and mark
each side of the line and cut notch
on the lath. To illustrate the use of
the device, when the board is level,
if two-inch block is put under one
end and a notch cut behind the line,
the plumb line will indicate the grade
and the operator will get a two-inch

Concerning Chickens.

The spring and summer eggs are
always the cheapest and easiest TO get,
and in great many cases they hardly
pay for the cost of wintering the lay
ers. Eggs sell for two or three times
as much in the late fall and winter
as they do from the first of April to
the first of October. Two or three
dozen eggs in the former season are
consequently worth from six to nine
dozen laid in the spring and summer.
Our profits consequently must largely
come from the eggs laid out of season.
| would not give much for the owner
of a poultry flock who could not get
mer, but have great respect for those
who can get two eggs in the fall and
winter where another manages to get
one or one and a half. This may not
be the time of the year to consider
fall and winter laying, but il you will
stop to think moment you will find
that it is just the right time to begin
laying plans for the fall months. 1t
is only by carefully rearing and select
ing a flock of birds which will lay in
the fall and winter season that we
make a success Of it. If any one
thinks it is an easy matter to let hens
go ahead and lay right along, and then
when fall comes expect them to keep
1t up, he is bound to disappointment.
The first essential for next fall and
winter laying is to select our flock Of
birds this spring. The best layers last
winter and fall should now be selected
for next years work. They should
form the breeding stock to rear new
layers for the cold season. They
should be selected carefully, and then
be kept in pens or yards by them
males on the farm. Half the battle
is fought out by selecting from known
good layers. Some chickens show q
tendency to lay in the cold weather,
and others cannot be induced to do it
under any circumstances. 1t is pos
sible by carrying this method Of selec-
ton and careful breeding for several
years to obtain a flock of winter lay
ers which will nearly double the ordi-
nary number Of eggs. All the feeding
methods in the world will fall short
unless we have the right birds to be-
gin with, and this summer is the time
to select them.-Annie G. Webster, in
American Cultivator.

A HISTORIC FLAG.
The One Made and Carried by Gil
nore's Little Party.

A unique relic of Lieutenant Gill
more's captivity and rescue in the
Philippines was shown by General Eu-
gene Griffin at the recent dinner of
the officers of the First regiment of
volunteer engineers, Spanish War vet
erans. This was the American flag
which was made by the sailors in
Lieutenant Gilmore's party out Of
patches and strips of their clothing.
The rescue party, commanded by
Colonel Hare, made a brillinat march,
lasting over five weeks and surmount
ed the most difficult obstacles in their
progress. They found Lieutenant
Gilmore and his men abandoned, with
out food or arms by the insurgents
in the widest part of LuZon among
the headhunters. where their fate
would have Deen only matter of a
few hours If the rescue party had not
arrived so opportunely. In spite of
the fact that all of them were half
naked, they had sacrificed enough
clothing to make up fair substitute
for the regular Stars and Stripes.

How Huenos Ayres Gets War News.

1t is not quite clear why the city Of
Buenos Ayres should take a keener
interest in the Boer war than any
other places not Immediately con-
cerned. This is evidently the case,
since the leading journal, the Prensa,
has seen fit to make special arrange
ments by means of which the public
is informed at moments notice of
any notable event in the fortunes of
the armies. A high tower is part
of the edifice in which the Prensa Is
printed and published, and the top
of the tower is used as lighthouse,
whence events are flashed upon the
world by means of colored fires.
Thus British victory Is at once pro-
claimed by the appearance of yel-
low light, and Boer success may be
read in brilliant green flame.

AGRICULTURAL.


Every spring the small boy on the
farm has longing for his own little
plot of ground, that he may raise
something-he is not at all particular
about the crop. A good way to untilize
this bit Of ground is in putting out a
strawberry bed. 1t will not bring
very quick results, as there will be
little or no fruit until the following
summer. but it will pay in the end.
Certainly it is worth trying, If the
farmer lacks this important small
fruit. The farmer may not care to
put out strawberry bed himself, but
he will plow up the plot of ground for
his son, and instruct him how to go
about the work After the boy has
his ground prepared, he can secure
thrifty plants from some neighbor who
will suggest best varieties for certain
localities, and will also give advice
about the setting out of the plants and
their subsequent care. A little work
and a good deal of patient waiting, but
the next season will bring good res +,
If the bed is large enough and the boy
has done his work well, he may not
only supply his own family with
Strawberries, but may have some for
market as well. Suppose the boys,
who every summer walk miles in
search of wild strawberry bed, will
try raising their own berries.-M.
Palmer Sweet, in The Epitomist.
