PANAMA CANAL ROUTE WORK
Carl Grunsky Says Machinery VIII
Be Used to Save Labor.


Carl Ewald Grunsky of San Francis
co. member of the Panama canal com
mission, which recently arrived at New
York from the isthmus, thus described
to New York Tribune reporter the
visit of the commission to the isthmus:
1T was simply tour of inspection
that each of the members of the COM
mission might become familiar with
the physical conditions of the canal
route. 1t should be understood that the
route of the French canal is SCARED all
the way across the isthmus, and,
though there is growth of green over
many stretches that have been long
neglected, the pioneer work, that Of re-
moving the primeval tangle of tropical
growth, has been accomplished.
"By reason of the fact that the rail-
road parallels the canal route it was
possible to traverse much of the course
by sticking to the railroad. Side trips
of exploration of streams were made
in canoes, and at times all the mem
bers of the commission walked.
Probably six to seven hundred men
are at work, chiefly on the Culebra cut,
where all that is done will count for
progress, whatever plan as to the level
of the canal summit may be adopted
by the commission. was agreeably
surprised by the climate and indica-
lions as to healthfulness. The suns
rays are now nearly vertical on the
isthmus, but the heat was not oppres
sive. There is very little sickness, and
when proper plans are perfected for
the disposition of debris, sanitation
and pure water supply l believe. the
work on the canal can be prosecuted
with a very low mortality. OF course
the conditions cannot be so favorable
as in a more northern latitude, and for
that reason undoubtedly contractors or
the commission will employ all the ma
chinery that can be made effective and
reduce the number of men to the mini
mum.
1.-THE work on the canal will begin as
quickly as possible and will be pushed
at all seasons of the year, though of
course the dry season will permit the
largest measure of accomplishment.
Construction work involving the con-
troll of the Chagres river may be I'M
avoidably suspended during the wet
season."

SEOUL PAST AND PRESENT.
Picturesque Site of the Capital OF
Korea.

Seoul, the capital of Korea, is a
walled city of nearly a quarter of a
million inhabitants, about a third of
whom live in extensive extra mural
suburbs, says III. G. Pointing in Har-
per's Weekly. The wall is pierced by
eight gateways of massive stone, each
with a pagoda shaped tower of one OF
two stories above it. The nearest of
these to the railway station is the west
gate, "the Gate of Bright Availability -
and it is by this portal that almost ev.
cry visitor enters the capital of the
Hermit Kingdom. The name of the
city, by the way, is pronounced pre-.
cisely as we would pronounce the fe.
male pig, with an added. e., Sowl.
l have never heard a Korean pro.
nounce the name in any other way.
The word means capital" nothing
more. But If there is small beauty or
originality about the name of the civ
there is great beauty in its location,
for anything more strikingly pictur
esque than the site of the Korean me-.
tropolis would indeed be difficult TO
lind. The city stands in a little valley
almost surrounded by rugged, CORFU
gated peaks. High along the ton of
this mountain ridge runs the city wall.
Deep into the gullies it dips, rising
now and again to scale the steenest
slopes and crown the SUBMITS of the
lof1est pinnacles. Inclosed within this
snakelike barrier is such a strange
contrast between wretched novels and
splendid palaces, purposeless loafers
and hurrying crowds, broad streets
and labyrinthlne alleys, spotless clean.

could be equaled elsewhere on earth.
Along several of the main streets arc
trolley lines, and every few minutes
modern American electric car wbirls
past us, well patronized with Koreans
both men and women.
Seoul Of the past is fast BECOMING
extinct. A modern red brick buildinos

Tr1umphs of Modern Surgery

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs
are taken out and scraped and pol

removed entirely; bones are spliced ;
pipes take the place of diseased Sec
lions of veins; antiseptic dressings
are applied to wounds, bruises, burns
and like injuries before Inflammation
sets in, which causes them to heal
without maturation and In one. third

such injuries entail. For sale by all

JAPAN's RAPID PROGRESS.
Has Converted Herself Into Power ful Nation in the Last Quarter
 of a Century.

WhenI visited Yeddo and the ports of Japan in the winter of 186061 the country was ruled upon the most exclusive Japanese methods, wrote Lord Wolseley in the Cosmopolitan in 1895. The people were held in subjection by a hereditary nobility who ruled them with a rod of iron. They were then far behind China in all matters connected with sea pow CT, for in order to prevent any communication with foreign places all Japanese junks were, in accordance with the law, con. structed with low, open sterns, so that they dared not venture be- yond a few miles from shore.
 No one can be blind to the enor- nous strides in progress Japan has made, the immense reforms she has effected and the powerful nation she has converted herself into during the last quarter of a century. The result is the crea. tion of a power in the eastern seas that must in future be always taken into consideration by west. ern statesmen.

Turkish Beds.

A recent writer on Turkey says: "Bedsteads are not used by the Turks. Each room contains a large cupboard, built into the wall, in which the bedding is piled during the day, and at night the slaves come in when summoned to make up the beds on the floor. Other bedroom requisites, in the shape of washstands, dressing tables and wardrobes, are dis pensed with as superfuous. For everyday ablution there is a small washing room with a hole in the floor for the water to escape through, and if the hanun would wash her hands and face only, a slave brings the ewer and basin and pours the water over her hands. For special ablutions she will go either to her own private hammam or to the public baths. She does her hair,' or has it donc for her, seated cross-legged in her corner of the divan; and the old walnut-wood chests and coffers in her treasure-room suffice to store her gauges and brocades, her silks and embroideries."

MAIDS EvAsIvE ANSWER.
Her Employer Was Busy and Could Not Receive Callers-What
 She Told Them.

Strange as itmay seem, says the Philadelphia Telegraph, there is public man in this city who is blessed or cursed with tender conscience that worries him in small matters as we'll as in great. Among the things that he cannot justify to himself is the bidding servant to say that he is not at home when in reality he is inside his house. At the same time he is not able to receive many visitors who call upon him, and his only resource was to give instructions that polite excuses should be given. Upon one occa- sion such instructions were given to a maid, an Irish girl gifted with the readiness and good wit of her nation.
 "Then Pm to be saying, sir, that you're not at home?" the maid in- quired.
 No, Mary, nop was the reply; "that would not be true. If any one should ask for me, you must just put him off give him some evasiye answer, you know"
 s'I'll do it, sir, never fear," was the maids reply. Mary was as good as her word.
 That afternoon person of im- portance made his appearance, and was duly sent away. The faithful maid reported the cir cumstance to her employer.
 "What did you do, Marry" in- quired the latter, with some trep- idation.
 "Oh, just put him off, sir as you told me. I gave him an evasive answer.v
 "Yes, but what did you say to him?"
 "Oh, sure he axed me if the boss was at home, and I said to him: Was his grandmother a mon- key?'
