SOME INTERESTING FIGURES.
Immense Value of the Promised
 Panama Canal to Commerce.

Immense Value of the Promised
 Panama Canal to Commerce.
 The value of the canal to the commerce of the world can be readily understood by any girl or boy who will refer to common map of the world, says St. Nich- olas. Both the United States and Flu rope will reap great benefits from 1t. By the present route steamers sailing frSm New York to San Francisco by way of the Magellan must cover 13,090 miles, in cluding the usual stops repaired for coal ing. When the canal across the Isthmus O. Panama Is opened the distance will bo shortened to 5,294 miles-a saving of nearly 5000 miles. Steamers bound from European ports would find almost equal advantages. Those sailing from Ham burg to San Francisco would have their present run shortened by 6,64S miles.
 Steamers sailing from New York to Australia and New Zealand now go by way of Cape of Good Hope. By going through the new canal this route would be shortened between 3,5O0 to 5,175 miles, according to the port they were bound for Our ships from the Atlantic Sea board must now. pass through the Suez Canal to reach China and Japan in the most direct way. The total distance from New York to Yokohama, Japan, Is 13,04O miles, and through the Panama Canal 1t would be reduced to 1O,OSS miles. From New York to Shanghai, China, the sav- ing in distance through the canal would amount to 1889 miles. To the Oriental countries the saving Is thus not so great as along our own coast and to our Pa cif1c Ocean possessions, owing to the fact that China and Japan are nearly op. posite us on the globe. But to Hawaii there would be distance saving of 6,6Sl miles.
 Saving in time and distance does m, mean so much to sailing vessels. but Il is very important to ocean steamers. With coal at g and A per ton whole. sale, the saving in money from A trir through the Panama Canal would quick. ly mount up into thousands of dollars It Is estimated that from New Yorl, tc San Francisco the actual saving in coaI for the average freight steamer wo,,Id be 5000. The saving in time would he ] even more important. 4 steamer on tl,iS

An ExpOsure of Raleigh

.
 An Exposure of Raleigh.
 While dealing with Lord Isacon's guest upon this occasion feel that the time has come to set right a popular miscon- ception in regard to the gallantry Of Sir Walter Raleigh. It is true that Raleigh was a most gallant gentleman but not so much more so than hundreds of oth- CTS of his contemporaries as to entitle him to be singled out for special commenda- ton because of that quality.
 More particularly should we take up the specific instance demonstrating his pre-eminence in gallantry when that story is a -woful, If not. wilful, perversion of the facts of the case. I refer to the episode in which Raleigh threw his cloak Into the puddle in order that Queen Elik- abeth should be able to cross the high way without detriment to her royal slip pers. That Raleigh performed such an act is undeniable. I know thiG since was present myself at the moment. But the real truth as to. his motive in doing so is that the Knight instead of being prompted by conspicuous gallantry. was on the contrary inspired by the most sor- did expectations.
 Raleigh was penniless at the time and wanted a new cloak. the old one being in sad state of disrepair. And the event showed the cieverness of his idea, for on her return to the palace the Queen could do, and really did do, nothing less than to send her young courier an order on the court tailor for an entire new suit.
 Raleigh afterward confessed the deceit to me. and added that that readiness of invention in devisihg schemes to aug n1ent his resources was one of the things that he had learned in America.
 T worked off my watered stock on Her Majesty in good old American style" | said he with a chuckle, "and still remain ed in control of the property and its ac- crued profits.'

HEN ASK tlrf 70 SEND NE ONE BEER. |. . Edited by John Kendrick Bangs.

III.
 Cromwell's Retort.
 Those were indeed troublous days in England when the strife between the Cavaliers and the Roundheads plunged the whole country into civil war. With ag stubborn stickler for royal prerogative like Charles Stuart on one side and man as firmly planted upon the legs of conviction as @ grand piano like Oliver Cromwell on the other, 1t required no superhumanly intelligent eye to see that it was to be a fight to a finish.
 Hoping, however, that in the course of events, if they did not progress too rapidly, some solution of their difficulties would be reached without the loss of a head on either side. I purposely passed slowly and with greater deliberation than usual over the British Islands at that period, but I finally gave up that hope and resumed my accustomed rate of speed. One incident in particular caused me to realize in an instant how utterly impossible short of the complete annihi- lation of one or the other of the two leaders, was any adjustment of their diff ferences.
 It happened at the Palace of Whitehall. The King was enjoying cup of tea with his Queen and various members of, the court when Q messenger arrived from SIOmW6Li, dshlHS dn duulSnCSs
 ''Cromwell?" said the King haughtily. "Who is this man Cromwell?"
 He is a brewer, Your Majesty" re- piled the Chancellor of the Exchequer. .''
 Then ask him to send me one beer,' said the King contemptuously, turning his back on the messager.
 The answer was reported to Cromwell, who with grim smile expressed his en- tire satisfaction with the order.
 '"Tell His Majesty for me-" he said that I have received his order for one bier and will set about brewing it at once. Pray ask him how he wished 1t draped." From that moment we all realized that 1t was war to the knife.
 Brigham Young's Wiah.
 It was in the early sixties of the nine teehth century that I visited the home of Brigham Young in Salt Lake City. l found him living happily in the suburos in a handsome Queen Anne dormitory building with his forty-seven wives and his e327 children. He was beaming with joy at the moment of my arrival, the home having that morning been blessed by the arrival of three fine eight-pound boys and four sweet little girl babies, nine pounders all

 A Reminiscence of Boswell.
 Not to have known James Boswell would have been to miss one of the most interesting products of the eighteenth century. So busy was at this period however, with other people and other things of historical import, that was oi necessity prevented from making volum- inous notes concerning his unique person. ality. His devotion to. his hero, Samuel Johnson, was so great that 1t amounted to an almost entire self-effacement Wherever Dr. Johnson appeared there was Boswell in his train, which gave rise to That mot of Sheridan's, which sci all London laughing, to the intent that fl there were such a thing as a gasolene automobile in existence BosweIi's relation toward Johnson would remind him of the atmospheric conditions prevailing in the trail of the motor car.
 It. was in a Fleet street tavern that first ventured to pause a moment at the side of the distinguished biographer. He was devoting all his attention to a par. ticularly luscious mutton chop, and full tankard of brown October ale was with in reach of his right hand In spite oi these aids to happiness. however, there was a frown on Boswelrs brow that aroused my curiosity.
 You seem worried. Mir. Boswell" said I, seating myself beside him. Are thingt then going wrong with you?"
 "Frightfully so.'' he replied, ordering tankard of ale for me. I'm truly at my wits end"
 "WeI,"I ventured, why don't you fal back on Johnson's wit?"
 That's the trouble.'' said he, with q vicious jab at the chop before him. ''In at my wits end because Johnson's al the end of his also. The jokes that mar has been making for the last six months would disgrace London Punch-if there were such thing-and don't know what to do about it. My biography up to this point has been absolutely the fin. est thing in the English Ian guage, and now all of sud, den Johnson falls down, and If I repro duce the things he has been saying late. ly it'll ruin the book.
 I expressed my sympathy for him in his trouble.
 ''rhank you" said he. DO you know Father Time, there are moments when am inclined to cut loose from Johnson altogether and instead of writing his biography''--
 Here Boswell paused, and for so long g time that I put in a word. He was ap' parently a little afraid to proceed and acted like a man who regretted having spoken so frankly.
 And do what, instead?'' inquired, ''l won't betray your confidence, my boy"
 Turn him into a historical novel, said Boswell. "If I do that I can do what please with him. no matter what he sayi or does."

''You can do what you please to other woInen-but you'll find me immune to your ravages." rv-
 After assuring the lady that had no wish to interfere in the slightest degree with her beauty, ventured the question as to how, after all, she managed to re- tain the splendors of her complexion.
 "Qh, I don't know replied Mistress Helen. 'I- fancy 1t is because facial soaps have not yet been invented, and so do not use them." The Ignorance of Louis XIV. Cardinal Mazarin, 1t Is well known, du- ring the minority of Louis XIV kept that monarch in an almost total igno> me that his purpose in doing so was merely to keep the King of France from becoming a weak echo of former rulers.
 'I knew" said he, that Louis would himself be maker of history and I wanted him to do 1t in an original way" There Is no question that in the main the Cardinals idea was successful, for among all the Louis of France the record of Louis XIV was probably the nearest approach to the unique. Yet at times he was led into woful mistakes by this pro- cess which was designed to promote his individuality. shall never forget the remark that Mime. de Malutenon made 10 me after hearing the remark of the King:
 "Apres moi le deluge.'
 That" said she, 'is clearly the result of Mazarin's method. The very Idea! I wonder what Noah would have said to such a claim"
 A Witticism from Lord Bacon.
 It was shortly after the tremendous ex- cellence of the tragedy of Hamlet had come to be recognized by all persons of nice discrimination that, impelled. must confess. by sheer curiosity to see what manner of man its author was, visited the homes of both Shakespeare and Ba- con. The latter encountered seated in his library in the company of Sir Wall tor Raleigh toasting his toes before a roaring open fire and experimenting with { some pipes and tobacco that Raleigh had brought with him in order to initiate his distinguished friend into the delights of smoking. It SO happened that at the mo- ment of my arrival the two great men were discussing the very work that had impeIled me to seek Lord Bacons home. 'L cannot understand 1t, my Lord, Raleigh was saying. Here you have written one of the greatest tragedies in l all literature: one that would place your name alongside of that of Aeschylus. George IT. Boker or Gus Thomas. and yet you let all the credit so to another. You throw away your immortality. With Hamlet acknowledged you would live forever"

Helen of Troy, was, in truth, in the matter of beauty. all that subsequent ages have claimed for her.
