SALE OF PANAMA CANAL.
The Proposed Changes Acceptable to

 the French company.
 Paris, Feb. 25.-It is reported in re- sponsible quarters that the chief off, cers of the Panama Canal company have Informed American officials here that they have. no objection to the two changes in the agreement, suggested in the recent dispatch from Attorney General Knox, which proposed the ac- ceptance of the company's tender, sub ject to two modifications and to the United States senate's ratification. It is assumed by American officials that this willingness on the part of the con- pany has been communicated by it's officers to the authorities at Washing ton.
 As Mir. Knox's proposition is under stood to refer to the ratification of the treaty before March 4, the officials say that the attitude which the company will assume after that date, in case the treaty is not ratified, is still undis- closed.

LECTURE BY DIR. CABOT.
Talks on Present Knowledge of ths < < f" Blood

Astbtst.5 x Dr. Richard C.. Cabot of Boston. who has done a large amount of original work on the properties of the blood, and is an authority widely known in this branch of medical science, addressed a large number of physicians and stu-s dents in Osborn hall last evening. His topic was: "A Summary of Our Present Knowledge of the Blood. ? The lecture WAS the first of the annual series on Medical Topics given under the aus pices of the Yale Medical Alumni asso- citation.
 Dr. Cabot reviewed briefly the ad- vances which have been made in this branch of medicine and told of the many practical uses to which a 1nicro- scopical examination and enumeration of the white and red corpuscles could be put. Diseases which had formerly been very difficult for the most expert physi- clans to diagnosticate were now easily recognized by examination of the blood. The various parasitic diseases of the intestines, including the recently dis covered hook-worm disease In the south, more popularly known as the disease of laziness," could be surely recognized in this manner.
 The lecture was illustrated by lantern slides, which were of the highest order of the art of photomicroscopy.
 Dr. C. J.- Foote gave an informal re- ception after the lecture at his home on Elm street to pr. Cabot, at which many physicians of this city and neibhber- ing towns were present.

M,GOVERN THE WINNER.
Maynard Knocked Oat In the Fourth
 Round.

Philadelphia, Feb. 25.-At the Penn Art club tonight 4,ooo people saw Ter ry McGovern, the former featherweight champion, defeat Billy Maynard of this city in what was to have been a six round contest. Maynard was knocked out in the fourth round after receiving severe punishment. McGovern adopted his usual rushing taetics scoring knock downs in the first and third rounds, Maynard being on his knees when the gong sounded at the end of t!e third. The local man made his best jhowing in the second round, holding his own in several exchanges. McGovern never let up in his rushes, however, and gradual ly wore his man down with terrific body blows. A right hand blow on the jaw early in the fourth round sent Maynard to the floor, and he was counted out.

importance. an d
therefore the re.
marks of one speaker at the Farmers
congress recently held in Macon, Ga.
have attracted especial attention. He
urged, according to the Youths Com
panion, that women should consider
farming as life-work, and he made
out a good case. The old-fashioned
farmer guided himself by tradition
largely, and conducted most of his op-
erations by main strength, Successful
farming at the present day is matter
of machinery and method. Much of the
work a farmer does is as easy as many
industrial processes. A woman who
could tend loom or run a sewing ma
chine can guide a harvester, and be the
better for it physically. A precedent
in this field was established long ago.
Women have succeeded as farmers.
When they have figured as fruit-grow-
ers, florists, bee keepers or poultry
raisers no one has intimated that
theirs was not "women's work" and
there is little disposition to beittle the
achievements of widows or daughters
who have made wise use of an inherit
ed farm. In no way is the good old pro-
fession of agriculture fenced in, and 1t
seems to offer special welcome to
the self-supporting women who long
for that free and wholesome life which
no city can afford. Such women might
regenerate~ many rural community

The telephone, the trolley and free
mail delivery provide them with re-
sources that were unknown to the last

they can invigorate the social life Of

and honored as such. But, that aside,
the happiness they would find in
health and independence would be
their own sufficient reward.

Dear Sir: In future l would advise you
never, under any circumstances, to en-
deavor to intimidate a man with more
brains than yourself. If you want to
succeed in our profession be less of a
coward, take equal risks with your ac-
complice. and for time operate only on
such fools as yourself.
The reaction was too much for
Frankison. The rapid change from
anticipated success to complete fail
ure stunned him. For time he sat
speechless with surprise, and when
at last he recovered some of his scat
tered senses he took the advice con-
tanned in the first letter, and made
speedy preparations for a departure
to a more congenial climate.-London

consequences of failure and exposure

the charge and declared that he had
chicken which had sat on an egg
in the neighbours yard and hatched
the gosling. He therefore considered
that he had some claim to the gosling.
