The Erie Canal, It's Past, Present and Future Neeu York Proposes to H9an Enlarge and Improve
 oov clinton's,Bis Ditch.

cied on all New York canals tin 1897, 7s9, ,7s3), a smaller amount than has been carried since 1845, when the tolls and charges were high and there was no railroad competition.
 Up to the present time the canal has served three purposes. First it offered an inGucement to settlers to make new homes in the western part of the state of New York and also in the states bordering the great lakes. Secondly, it, to a certain extent, gave to the lake cities preeminence they would otherwise not have had until too late to have competed successful ly with the cities of the Ohio and Mis- sissippi river valleys. and thirdly, it has forced railroad rates down al- most to the minimum and held them there. For the first two purposes the canal is no longer needed, but if it is to continue as a competitor of the railroads of sufficient strength to in- fuence rail freight rates on western. produce bound to New York it's ca pacity must be increased. This much New York has practically decided upon, but how great the increa SC shall be is as yet debated question. Enthusiasts favor ship canal that would accommodate the largest of the lake vessels, but this the practical men of the State frown upon as be- ing project of too great magnitude for the state to undertake, claiming also that the construction of ship canal belongs more properly to the na- tiona1 government. The commercial bodies of New York city have been demanding the enlargement of the canal to depth of 12 feet, and new locks that would correspond to this increased depth, but another faction in state council have insisted that a ninefoot depth in both canal and locks would be sufficient increase to accomplish the desired results These two factions have now been practical ly united by Gov. Odell who proposes a nine-foot canal with 12-foot locks, thus making it possible to deepen the canal at some future period if that

HERMANN FOOLED THE BOYS.

Tn connection with Hermanns ap- pearance at the Sterling opera house last Monday evening an incident nap pened which convinced a number or young men that the magician's power is wonderful. It was after the show and q large crowd were at Candee's s restaurant having a lunch, and the show, of 'course, was principal topic of conversation.
 Hermann happened to be eating in the house at the time, and, of course, he had to listen to the comments of the others, who were ignorant of his presence.
 William Whitrock had seen the show before in Cincinatti and was well aware that Hermann was eating at the table with the critics. When he was asked if he saw the show he re- piled that he did, in Cincinatti, and was well pleased with it.
 All of the remarks about the per formance were not favorable. however, though the show was considered a very good one, and it seems that the man of magic resolved to teach his critics q lesson.
 When he had eaten his lunch he paid AOA IL anu ldhiIS udphln IrOm Iu0 table wiped his mustache. He then rolled the napkin In a little ball, the crowd meanwhile watching him, and after looking around he threw the cloth into the air. where if disappeared much to the mystihcation of those present
 He then pulled handkerchief from his pocket and after throwing it in the air and making it disappear in the same manner as the napkin. he walked out with the eyes Of the crowd follow ing him with awe
 Who is he. Bill?" was the first question asked and Whitrock told them all about it.
 It was sheepish looking crowd when they learned that they had been criticising Hermann's performance in his presence. The trick which he played is a sinnle ona. He pulled the napkin and handkerchief into his pocket so quickly that he fooled those looking at him. making them believe thar he had thrown it into the air Ansonia Sentinel.

NO NEW WOMEN,

But the truth is, we are not new. We are the old, old Teutonic woman hood which twenty centuries ago ploughed it's march through European forests and morasses beside its fellow male, which marched with the Cimbri to Italy and with the Franks across the Rhine, with the Varangians into Russia and the Alamanni into Swift zerland, which peopled Scandinavia and penetrated shrines In German forests and gave the oracle for peace or war. We are women of breed whose racial ideal was no Helen Of Troy, passed passiyely from male hand to hand, as men pass gold or dust, but that Brynhild whom Sigurd found, clad in helm and Sbyrne. the warrior maid who gave him counsel. sthe deepest that ever yet was given to living man." and swrought on him to the performing of great deeds.'' who, when he died, raised high the funeral pyr@ and lay down on it be- side him, crying, 'sNor shall the door swing to at the heels of him as I 20 beside him." We are women of race that of old knew no fear. and feared no death; and if to-day we have fallen on evil and degenerate times, there moves in many of us still the throb of the old blood. If it be on no physical battlefield that we stand beside our men, and on the march through no external forest or morass that we have to-day to lead. it Is yet the old spirit that after 2.O0O years stirs within us: it is yet the cry of the old, free, Teutonic woman which sounds across the world today. Though the battle be now in the la- !, 4s>'.v or in tho workshop in the forum or the study, in the assembly and the mart. with the pen and not the sword, of the head and not the arm, we still stand side by side with the men we love, Ito dare with them in war and to suffer with them in peace" as the Roman wrote of our old Teutonsc mothsrs.--Harpsr's Bazaar.

LET'S STAY HOME.

An American who, in the classical language of his country, is at present located" In London, wants to know whether any city in the world Is quite so niggardly as our own. He has been going the round of the London res taurants, and has encountered in the management of them a spirit which distresses him.
 There Is, to begin with" he says, "a charge of from 2d to Sd for guard ing your hat and coat in tEe cloak room, and tip In addition Is expected. You want to wash your hands-another I'd or another Cd and another tip. You take up the menu, and behold! there is an intimation that charge of Sd each person will be made under the guise of table money.' This charge varies according to the nature of the place-3d is the lowest. Cd perhaps the average; at great many restaurants 1t is lis. and in at least two that I have visited Is, Sd. The only differ ence is that in the lower priced res taurants it is called table money and in the higher priced ones placed under the captivating heading of convert. To my mind an entrance fee, frankly de- handed at the door, would be much less offensive than to find yourself asked at the end of dinner to pay for the trouble and expense of cleaning up the cutlery you have used.'' His con, clusion of the whole matter is that
 London lives off imposing a fixed tariff on the accessories that in every other city have ever been to are thrown in gratis"; and he thinks that being gentleman is one of the most expensive professions an Englishman can have. He declares it to be an ut Ter delusion that London is g cheap place to live in. "For the poor man., he says "the man whose income fs less than GSO0 a year, there Is no city where less can be had in the way of comforts and even the necessities of Ire. In New York 1t Is only the lux urles that cost: the expenses of avery day living may be as great or as small as one cares to make them. New forK, in fact is laid out for the poor man. From the transnorta+ian svs- rem to the price of such fundamental charges on the household treasury as coal. ice, fnel meat. bread. milk and rr'1ft almost everything conspires to pflng him in good return for verv small outlay. All thesa thinos ora cheaper in New York than in London, :,

intelligence of Ants.

The conclusion of series of papers on the American ants by Prof. W. M. Wheeler is as follows: Tt is quite un- necessary to assume the existence of anything beyond instinct and simple intelligence in the ants which form compound and mixed nests; there are no evidences of ratiocination in ants. This conclusion, however, even if it be extended so as to exclude all an finals except man from participation in this faculty, does not imply the ad- mission of qualitative difference be- tween the human and the animal psyche. .'s-American Naturalist

BOsToN's DIsREsPECT.

We sympathize most deeply with Mrs. John L. Gardner in the blow Wnlch mas fallen upon her. After an all 100 brief 4S hours of elysium in the pelleI That she was to be the only 5vo- man of Roston's social set to be per- m1tted to receive his gracious and mighty highneSs, Prince Henry of Prussia, she has now been hurled from her high estate by the announce ment that, after all, the German yisi- tor will not ask the conductor to dt- rect him to her unfinished palace in the Black Bay fens
 The flourish Of trumpets made over the triumph appears to have undone this latest scheme of the well-adyer- t1sed lady. Perhaps if tongues hati been held discreetly the editor of the princes route might not have blne- pencilled the Fenway visit. But even prince has more sensitiveness than society leader. and the German an- bassador possibly thought that his royal superior might object to the mo- tor1ety of serving as stepladder up- on which social favorite may raise herself in her own estimation and get q feW more columns in the news papers. The mere fact that the Ger man consul at Boston is q relative bv marriage of the lady in question was not enough to warrant the ambassa- dor in turning his prince into an ex- hibit for q private palace of art.
 Nevertheless, we sympathize with Mrs Jack" It is hard to be the object of enyious, but none the less cheering, wrath for few hours and then to know that the wrathful have become merrymakers. The chatelaine of the palace should not be cast down. There are still plenty of long haired pianists and soulful violinists as con solution, and if there are not they can be imported in shiploads and, what is best Of all, duty free.-Boston Tray eler.
