THE COST or LAW.

Miss Mary Wiley of Jamaica, lost
both feet in a railroad accident when
she was eleven years old Her condi-
tion was such as TO appeal powerful
ly to the sympathy Of the community
and a small sum was raised for her
by friends. The railroad was sued
for damages ana made to pay $13,-
900.
AZ per cent, or even 4, this sum
would apparently produce enough at
interest each year to auppoit the poor
girl and leave the principal unim.
paired But considerably more than
half sL250-was paid out in legal
expenses, and the small remaining
principal not yielding a sufficient
interest income. was all exhausted
in living expenses and upon educa-
ton. AT twenty-one Miss Whey
faces the world with cripples
heavy handicap and with only the
money that was given her by her
schoolmates and frieads-just

Washington'S Crab Smile.

have tried TO njure him. He says:

Animals and Music.

In my sons junior year at Harvard il
became the custom in May and June to
give frequent band concerts in the even
ing On the steps of University hall. EN-
actly over the band was a tlag pole,
fastened at an angle to the side of the
building On the gilded ball of the Nag
pole there would come and perch. soon
after the concert began, Il little Screech
owl. After the music ceased and the
crowd dispersed the little owl would
again fly away. So regularly did the
own come with his noiscleSS. mutiled
flight. that my son came To look for him,
and TO speculate how long the band
would have to play before he would be
attracted by the music. Many persons
saw him, yet he appeared TO take no
notice of the yard full of people. but
seemed Ia enjoy the music as far as
his attitude aud actions betrayed his
feelings, rs much rs did anyone. Wheth-
Ct music gives animals pleasure or pain
is Il disputed question. My own
i-mouthS-uld granddaughter suffered real
pain from the higher notes on violin
So much 50 that she began To cry. 1t
was only the high notes that were too
much for Her sensitive ears, the softer
ones having no effect. Music will often
make dogs howl and eats run. The owl
thoroughly enjoyed the band music, how

FACTS ABOUT PANAMA.
Historical Data Concerning the Canal
That Will Cut the Isthmus.

The following was compiled for a bust
ness house which wished TO give its Gus
toners some information on this subject:
The republic of Panama was part of
Colombia until November 3, 1908. when
ii declared its independence. 1t has an
area of .571 English square miles,
nearly as large as Maine, and Il popula-
ton of 100000. Its chief ports are the
capital. Panama, population about $1,000
and Colon, population about 5000.
These ports are visited annually by more
than 1000 vessels. which land over 1000
600 tons of merchandise and nearly 10O,-
600 passengers. chiefly for transfer over
the isthmus. The commerce of Panama
amounts to about S3,000,000 per annum.
Panama has been called the Gate to
the Pacific" and the key to the Uni
verse. and waterway across the 18th
mus has been the dream of centuries.
In 1879 a French company, with Ferd-
nand DE LeSsepS as president, was organ
lied to construct canal. and began work
in 1881. After it had spent S1J6,00O,OO0
ON the iSthmus it went bankrupt \ new
company formed III 1894 and continued
the work on Il small scale. The work
done constitutes two-ffths of the canal
works.
In 1902 the United States decided to
carry out the project. In February, 1903,
the rights of the New Panama Canal
company were secured. and November Is,
1905, Il canal treaty between the United
States and Panama was signed at Wash
ington. 1t has been agreed that the Unit
ed States shall obtain zone of five miles
on each side of the canal; Panama will
receive Sl0,000.000 and an-annujty of
$4,000. beginning 1912.
The canal to be built by the United
States is high level canal, about s. feet
above tidewater The number OF locks
will he five. The Atlantic terminus is at
Colon and the Pacific terminus Panama
bay, The course of the canal is from
northwest to southeast. the Pacific end
being 2S miles east of the Atlantic. Pan
anna is in about the same longitude as
Pittshurg. The total length from shore
line to shore line is 43 miles. The time
Of transit will be ten and one-haif to
twelve and one-half hours for a ship of
mean dimensions. The cost to complete
the canal from its present condition is es-
timated TO he Sl44. 100000. besides the
S40,000.000 to be paid to the French COM
pany. The time required will be about
eight years. The cost to maintain the

Santa Rosa district, near Bonanza.
From time mmemorial it has been an

said:
Mrs. Clement was Il large stakeholder
in the company. She lived ut Bonanza,
and il had been the joke of the other
members that she was always proving
around the dump picking III, pieces of
ore and claiming they were all sorts of
things, other than what they were One
day about thirteen months ago she went
out to the dump and picked up pretty
light blue stone which was very nard
and shiny. She thought it would do for
her collection. So she took it home.
Upon her arrival She comnared it
with piece of turquoise She had bought
in the United States and came to the
conclusion that it was turquoise. The
other members of the company laughed.
