Counsel to Canal Commission.

Charles Magoon has been appointed
general counsel for the Isthmian Ca
nal Commission. Judge Magoon has
been the law officer of the Bureau Of
Insular Affairs since the Office was
created in 1899. His familiarity with
many questions with which the Canal
Commission must deal and desire
to reward his past services induced the
Secretary of War to approve the
transfer, but at the Secretary's re-
quest Judge Magoon will continue to
advise the Bureau of Insular Affairs
on legal matters.

Trade Relations Resumed.

The Department of Commerce and
Labor has been notified that Gen.
Cipriano Castro, the provisional Presi-
dent of Venezula, has declared open
again the commercial relations be-
tween Venezula and Columbia through
the custom house of Maracaibo, by
way of the river Zulia between the
Guayabol and the port of Villamizar.
This is great relief to American
commerce, but il probably will take
years of prosperity to regain the
losses which were occasioned by clos
ing this public highway for several
years.

AN IMPENDING CHANGE.

1t is certain that a great change is
going on, and one of that subtle and
unpreceived kind the effect of which is
sure to be widely felt before it is
understood, not to say corrected.
How much it means of difficulty, or
even disaster, in the business world
OF the future, it may be difficult to de-
termine, but it will certainly have a
profound effect in shaping the pros
poets even of the trust. 1t creates
conditions under which il will be
growingly difficult to produce men
with the character and the intellectual
stamina which are necessary in the
management of the great corpora
tons. Men who have simply grown
up as clerks will never be truly com,
petent to fill these positions. They
will become more and more men of
detail. And the system of inbreedine.
that is, of limiting the filling of their
more important posts to men who
have risen through all the ranks of
lower service,-which now is pro-
claimed by some of our great rail
ways,-is a policy as truly suicidal as
it is unintelligent. Great administra
tive positions require men who have
been accustomed to that independence
of action and that breadth of view
which only the responsibility of direct
ing their own affairs can produce. 1t
is temper of mind and of spirit as
far as possible from that of the
lifelong clerk or employee. And no
problem in the business world is more
vital, or has farther reaching relations.
than how such men are in the future
to be produced.-Henry A. Stimson in
Atlantic.

Thought She CouIdn't Live

Moravia, n. Y, June 6.-Mr. Benja-
min Wilson, highly respected ISL
dent of this place, came very nearly
losing his wife, and now that she is
cured and restored to good health his
gratitude knows no bounds. He says:
MY wife has suffered everything
with Sugar Diabetes. She has been
sick four years. She doctored with
two good doctors, but kept growing
worse. The doctors said she could not
live. She failed from 200 pounds
down to $50 pounds. This was her
weight when she began to use 'odd's
Kidney Pills, and now she weighs 100,
is well and feeling stronger every day.
''She used to have rheumatism so
bad that it would raise great bumps
all over her body, and this is all gone,
too.
''Dodd's Kidney Pills are a God-scnd
to those who suffer as my wife did
They are all that saved her. We can't
praise them enough"

A TIMELY WARNING.

While British brig was gliding
smoothly along before a good breeze
in the South Pacific, three months ago,
a flock of small birds about the size,
shape and color of paroquets settled
down in the rigging and passed an
hour or more resting. The second
mate was so anxious to find out the
species to which the visiting strangers
belonged that he tried to entrap a
specimen but the birds were too shy
to be thus caught, and too spry to be
seized by the quick hands of the
sailors. At the end of about an hour
the birds took the briggs course, AMI
disappeared, but towards nightfaI
they came back and passed the night
in the maintop. The next morning
the birds flew off again, and when
they returned at noon the sailors
scattered some food about the decks.
By this time the birds had become
so tame that they hoped about the
decks picking up the crumbs. That
afternoon an astonishing thing hap,
pened. The flock came flying swiftly
toward the brig. Every bird seemed
to be piping as if pursued by some
little invisible enemy on wings, and
they at once huddled down behind the
deck-house. The superstitious sailors
at once called the captain of the brig,
who rubbed his eyes and looked at the
barometer. A glance showed that
something was wrong with the eIe
ments, and the brig was put in shape
to outride storm. The storm came
about twenty minutes after the birds
had reached the vessel. For a few
minutes the sky was like the water.
less bottom Of lake-a vast arch OF
yellowish midland torrents of rain
fell. Why it did not blow very hard,
no one knows; but on reaching port,
two days later, the captain learned
that a great tornado had swept across
that part of the sea. The birds left
the vessel on the morning after the
storm and were not seen again.

THE RAID OF THE sTAlWARTs.

The stalwarts scame down like a herd
of wild steers
With harmony lances and partisan
spears;
With pleas that were threats and eff

They had juggled the figures and in
fiuenced papers
To publish their views about Bob and
his capers,
Joined hands with the railroads. de-

Hustled workers in plenty from caucus

And boosted such methods would GER

mony play,
Which meant well be good if we have
our own way"
They marched to the gym like SIENNA

To make things harmonious regardless
Of cost!
But like cornshellers stripping the
corn from the cob
Those stalwarts were scattered and
beaten by Bob!
And Jeffris from GAINESVILLE is loud in
his wall,
When objection and protest and argu-
ments fail.
For Bob found that wrench" and he
gave it twist,
And the "icewater" came at one turn
of his wrist!

And it shriveled them up like a mid

affair
Is appeal to the courts"-and some

Cousso in Abyssinia.

The cousso is member of the rose
family, of which the scientific name is
Hagenia abyssenica, or Crayera an
thelmisthica. This is a splendid tree,
the blossoms of which appear in
superb punches and in great number
They contain the active principle
called koumine, taeniafuge of great
value, the properties of which are ap
preciated in the country. The leaves
of the cousso are not less beautiful
than its flowers. The wood is rose
colored and would be valuable to
cabinetmakers. The tree grows rapid

in France; on the contrary, the

favor, but very few are made at home.
The patissier furnishes all the pastry

at least are known as foreign things.
These sweet dishes in France are
not considered desserts. They take
their place at meal before the fruit

those things which are served at the

apply any news that came to hand to-

trading at the Stock Exchange and for
the mixed movement of prices. The
market started upwrads with a CON-
prehensive sweep that suggested a con-
tinuation of yesterdays movement, but
it became spotty and irregular again in
the later trading. The profit taking
was so general as to suggest again the
purpose of support in the marking up
of picked stocks here and there in the
list. The continued advance of Penn
sylvania and the United States Steel
stocks was the most influential factor
in shaping sentiment on the general
market.

was plainly based on the favorable
prospects for that crop, but Southern
Railway was a marked exception to
the movement and continued to be
