One consideration that is making our
people impatient of hard work Is the ev-

is thus not a debt paid to nature, for be

Of 1902, was at her eleven hundredth

the Hounds Of the Duches d'Uzes."
The duchess rents from the republic
more than $4,000 acres of this old Ram

Up on the shores of Lake Erie nestles
a l~aw-abiding community that is chiefly
famous for two things-Gen. Anthony
Wayne, the mad Anthony of the revolu-

ries, while Capt. Gridley, who command

In the beginning this young love Of the@yomg woman IS a some
thing akin to her adolescence. It is at this period Of her life that she
is especially susceptible to strong emotions. She is pessfmisdc for the
most part and at all times she is sef-conscous and analytical Of her
feelings. She in a period Of her life where there is a loss of nervous
energy at the best; to the extent that she suffers this she is pessimstic
and moody, her ego is all prominent and the sentimental something
called love belongs to that primitive demonstration Of it in man when
it meant to him simply possession. There is nothing as yet which con-
templates a consideration the other party to the passion.
It is when in this period of introspecEon and, perhaps, pessmism
that the young woman turns to the thought of suicide. She is debii
tated and nervous, she has the impulse to seltdesrucion, and to the
extent that she is deblhted and unable to resist the impulse, and, in
like degree to the extent that the means Of selfdestucton are at hand

The mouth of the Yazoo river il
now closed up and is growing grass
and willows, where stesmers once en-
tered the stream. Captain Willard,
who planned the canal, once told the
writer he thought it would be neces-
sary to dam the river at some point
south OF the head of the canal, but
that he would not recommend or es-
innate for until the canal was
tested. The result shows thai it will
never be necessary to dam the river
south Of the head OF the canal AT
the present low stage OF water all of
the Yazoo river is flowing through the
canal into Lake Continental, and by
Vicksburg. The current is very
swift; in fact, much swifter than
steamboats, want it, an the canal IS
success. There is one thing the city
ought not delay. An ordinance should
be passed making the entire city front
free. public landing, and restrict
ing its use to steamers and other craft
in actual service. No steamers or
other craft, not even skiffs, should be
permitted to lay up along the city
front. A reasonable time should be
given as is the case in New Orleans,
for boats to load and unload. and
when that expires they should be COM
PEELED to get ont of the canal 1t is
a great mistake and serious incon-
venience for the canal TO be Uttered
up with all sorts of craft, flatboats,
skiffs, RATS. logs and SO forth. 1t is
a great hiudrauce to the local packets,
for if one of the lay-ups is injured by
q steamer damage suit is the result.
