PANAMA, Jan. 0.-It was rather q
pity that while the Titanic forces were at
work in the building of the North and
South American continents that they did
not wrench them clear apart instead of
leaving the narrow isthmus of land
which looks so small upon the map, but
which is sufficient to change the chan
nels of trade of the whole world.
1t is but thirty-five miles between the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans on the mar
row land across the isthmus of Panama.
The attempt to unite the waters of the
two oceans nearly wrecked a great Eu-
ropean nation financially and has been
the subject of discussion in the parlia-
ments of the world for half a century
Across this isthmus is the great highway
of the worlds commerce. Even the
population has no nationality, for it is
polygot. No one stays there who can
get away. 1t is the abiding place of such
human drift as lodges there and the last
resting place Of the many who have
come from afar off full of health,
strength and hope to fight an unequal
duel with nature in her most vicious and
1nsanitary mood. For a century the
control of the Isthmus of Panama has
been the subject of ultimatum threats
and treaties not for its favor, but for
the danger to the world powers in the
exclusive possession of this highway by
one of their number. 1t must also be
a property in common over which any
one nation cannot hold a right to the
exclusion of others. By common consent
of all it is ruled by the United States

are married into the best class of native
society. The head offices of the Panama
canal are here and furnish a distinctly
French element to the town. one which
lives much to ITSELF however and is quite
exclusive. In all the humber walks of
life the Jamaica negro is much In evi-
dence They were brought from Jamaica
in large numbers during the building of
the canal and have been absorbed into
the life of the isthmus until it may be
said they are in a majority. They are
shiftless and irresponsible and rarely ac-
quire more than is necessary to feed them
from day to day.
The climate of Panama is not espec-
tally healthy, but it is not so bad as its
reputation would lead one to believe. At
the end and at the beginning of the
rainy season fever is very prevalent and
the city is really never free from it. but
If the voyager will observe the ordinary
rules of prudence and refrain from
drinking the city water there is little
danger of contracting any disease. Dur
ing the yellow fever epidemics no one
knows who is to go. next. and the per-
nicious malaria is nearly as bad, if not
worse in its deadly effects Sickness was
undoubtedly more prevalent during
canal construction than now, for then
there were more people, regulations
were impossible, those who came took
little care or themselves and hospital
accommodations were limited Now the
people regulate their lives to the clinl-
ate, the doctors understand the fever.
the hospital facilities are fine and life
in Panama is no more dangerous than in
other places so near the equator and
struggling with Spanish indifference ia
the laws of sanitation
There Is constant stream of travel
through Panama en- route to the west
coast of South America between South
America and the United States and Eu-
rope. Several lines of steamers handle
this traffic and the register of the

the wall and in twos and threes the
young men of the town walk arm in arm
near by and exchange glances and audi
BILE comment. This old sea wall of
Panama is still very useful as the social
usages of the isthmus are very strict,
and before marriage there Is no interval
of love making except at long range,
and then only under the stern maternal
eye.
The important business of the day is
done in the morning. By IL o'clock
everyone has gone to breakfast. The
stores are closed, the streets are de-
serted and it Is 8 o'clock in the after
noon before there are any signs of re-
neWed life. The railroad employees and
the foreign element make q pretense of
longer hours, but it is merely a pretense
after ALL for business proceeds but
slowly. Toward evening the scene be-
comes quite animated The parks and
plazas are filed with children and their
nurses, well dressed men and women
saunter about Groups of men talk busi-
ness and politics, largely the latter. with
many words and expressive gestures
Panama must be free from Colombia.
1t has no connection. Nothing could be
done to stop a revolution"
why is it not free?''
''Ah, the United States protects the
sovereignty of Colombia on the isthmus.
That is why. But for that in thirty
days we would have a new republic, the
republic Of Panama"
The streets of Panama are narrow and
crooked. Business is done on the ground
floor Of the houses, but every one who
can lives upstairs. Many churches are
filed with worshipers on Sunday and on
feast days. Many more churches are in
ruins from the effects of fire or the at
tacks of time upon the soft rock walls
and arches. The main cathedral is very
large and very high. It's architecture is
similar to that Of al like buildings in
the Spanish countries. In the outer
surface of the towers are set mosaics of
oyster shells, which glitter brightly in the
sun, and over the main entrance just ne

PENNY POS TAGE.


Many years ago, when Queen Vic

Ivy the receiver, So. Of course, there
were many poor people who could not
afford To pay nlncpcnyc whom their
mail arrived, and Il often happened
that they were obliged to forfeit the
letters.
One day man named Rowland Inn
was riding ON the outskirts of Il city,
and he saw n postman hiring II letter 60
Il young girl and dcmaud niucpcncc
for It, The girl took the letter, scru-
tnizcd II carefully aud then handed It
bacl, to the man. saying she could not
afford TO pay the postage Thcrcupon
Rowland nm, being n Kind hearted
man, rode up aud insisted upon paying
II himself. When the postmnn had
gone, the girl confessed to her bone
factor that the letter was from her
lover, and to avoid paying ujncpcuCc
on every letter he made certain marks
on the envelope which she nlono could

was no other way to do

mann err in which the books in the
several departments had been kept.
