said F. G. Grymes Of Navasota, Tex, to a
Star man at the Shoreham this morning.
'aThe water course from the mouth of the
Navasota river to the mouth of the Brazos
river is to be thoroughly cleared and made
of sufficient depth for navigation. 1t Is
proposed to clear away the snags, cut
awav the oyerhanging branches, build
training walls and spur dykes where shoals
are encountered in order to connne the
current and deepen the channel. The un-
dertaking is big one. and will take some
little time, but 1t will open up a country
where 100000 bales of cotton are raised
each year and thousands of pounds of mis-
cellaneous products are handled, so that
with the water course there will be an
enormous saving in freight rates in getting
goods to and from market"

VEGETATION ON VOLCANOES.

London Morning Post.-In the de-
scriptions which DR.. Flett and DR.. An
derson gave of the destruction
wrought by the West Indian eruptions
they commented on the remarkable
way in which st. Vincent and Mar
Unique recovered their vegetation
after such volcanic outbreaks. Papers
written by DR.. Treub and Professor
penzig on the fora of Krakatoa afford
observations by affording an insight
into the stages of growth in this proc
ess of vegetable recovery. The explo-
sion at Krakatoa, which blew the
island in half and left 1t an isolated
mountain rising out of the sea and
covered with pumice and red hot
ashes to a depth of from to $50 feet,
occurred in 1888. Three years later
DR.. Treub visited It, and found 1t
nearly inaccessible. But on it's mar.
row beach he found the fruits or seeds
of seven species of phanerogams and
rlEe species of the usual littoral plants
OF tropical islands. In the interior
ferns pTeiominated, and DR.. Treub's
conclusion was that ferns in such a
aora preceded and prepared the soil
for a phanerogamic vegetation. A
close examination of the ashes and
! pumice stone revealed the presence
of alg@ coating the arid soil every.
where with a thin gelatinous layer, in
which the fern spores would find a
suitable place for termination. Eleven
years later Professor Penzig's visit to
the island discovered sixty-two species
of plants fifty phanerogams and
twelve vascular cryptogams). The
ferns still predominated in the inter.
ioT, and there were several tall
grasses. Seeds or fruits of thirty
species were found on the beach, and
here and there seeding plants OF
the fifty'three phanerogams Professor
| Penzig estimated that seventeen were
introduced by the agency of the wind,
thirty'two by water and four by birds,

from which there was only one mode
of exit-matrimony
One day, arriving at his dismal
hole an hour late, Ponder saw his
divinity in tears. At least her usual
ly white and patrician nose seemed to
be more ruddy-or was it blue?-than
usual ''The wretch" growled Pom
der to himself, and shook his fist at
the back of the man liz the opposite
Office. THE villain has been rude 20
her! If | only had him by the
throat" And all that day Ponder
watched till he was convinced at last
that the fair creature in the Office on
the eighth floor opposite was mystic
riously in the clutches of a villain
who maltreated her. He watched her
gaze gloomily into the street, he saw
her mop away the involuntary tears
that trembled upon her fair cheek, he
trembled with an ecstasy of antici-
patton as to what he would do If he
ever got good chance at her ras-
cally employer. For days thereafter
she did not smile.
But one Saturday morning, coming
opportunity to his window, Ponder
saw her standing beside the mans
desk. Her face was turned from the
watcher, but he could see the villain
and knew by his gestures that he
was in a rage. He was waving his
arms, his face was purple, and he
seemed to be pouring upon the bowed
head of his unprotected stenogra-
pher the full walls of his invective.
At last he jumped up, slipped the
latch on the door and slapped-yes,
there could be no doubt about it-he
was slapping the face of the defence

Ponder Not waiting to see the de-
movement of this cowardly outrage,
he grabbed his hat and almost fell
down the stairs two flights before he
thought of the elevator In two min
utes he was standing at the door OF
the Office of his goddess in the oppo-
site building. He knocked. The giri,

And Old Story with a New Twist.

Senator Tillman was once sent out
by the Democratic congressional com
mittee to Kentucky 20 crate for the
ticket. In one of his speeches he
spoke of the necessity of electing in
corruptible men to congress, such
as the democracy of this district has
chosen to represent the people at
Washington"
Just at this moment some one in
the crowd interrupted with:
Would DR.. Claherty sell out?"
Whats that?" asked Til,man,
somewhat riled at this break in his
train of thoughts.
Would DR.. Claherty sell out?" re-
peated the questioner.
And who the blazes is DR..
Claherty?" asked Tillman.
Hes the man you're asking us to
vote for" came the prompt response.
The senator was stunned and could
only blurt out: 81 never heard of him
before. Baltimore News.

THE INCH BEFORE THE SAW.

Only from day to day
The life of a wise man runs;
What matter if seasons far away
Have gloom or have double suns?
To climb the unreal path,
We stray from the roadway mere;
We swim the rivers of wrath,
And tunnel the hlIls of fear.
Our feet on the torrents brink,
Our eyes on the clouds afar,
We fear the things We think,
Instead of the things that are.
Like a tide our work should rise
Each later wave the best;
Today is king in disguise,
Today is the special test.
Like sawyer's work is life:
The present makes the flaw,
And the only field for strife
Is the inch before the saw.
