DOLLYS HOUSEKEEPING


HEY'LL have to go house-hunt-
ing. now, and that's all there is
to it." said Mrs. Flynn, decided
", as she opened the new lodgers
door, and prepared to sweep the room.
The new lodger, a worn young wom-
an, had passed away four days ago,
and had left baby girl Of four years,
but, unhappily, no money with which
to care for it. 1t was this fact that
called forth remark quoted above from
tall, stern Mrs. Flynn.
Dolly, the lodger's little girl, was
kneeling on a broken chair gazing visit
fully out Of the dusty window. Spot
her dog, and only companion, was
curled up on the floor asleep.
"Yes, they'll have to go house-hunt-
ing for sure" repeated Mrs. Flynn. L
haven't nothin' to keep the dog on,
much less the child" Dolly looked up,
hearing the words. Come, run out
with your dog while sweep SAID the
1endlady, speaking to the child, who
slipped to the floor. "1ou can't go into
thn kitchen cause Mary's washin' ana
she'll bite your head off, like as not,
and YOU can't go into the parlor with
that there dog. Sit yourself down on
the stairs till I'm through. Run,
now"
Dolly trudged patiently down the
narrow winding stairs, and Spot pat
tered beside her.
"I,ook out for the torn place in the

self repeating the phrase so often on
mothers lips.

BEES CURE RHEUMATISM.

Most persons have heard that bee
sting will cure rheumatism or lum-
bago, though few sufferers have ac-
tually tried the remedy. Formic acid,
derived from bee stings, is now being
extensively used as cure for these,
diseases.
On the end of the sting, which is
about e-thirty-second of an inch,
long, is q tiny sac containing a drop
of formic acid. This sac the bee de-
taches with the sting after the latter
has been deposited in the flesh.
Science has found way to convert

Mr. Abbott looked at her in some
surprise.
"Who are you, child?" he asked.
But instead of answering, the tired
little creature suddenly covered her
face with her hands and burst into
tears.
Come here" said the invalid, kind
~, and he put out his hand and caught
her dress. "Who are you, and why
did you come house-hunting? Won't
you tell me all about it?'
Thomas quietly withdrew and closed
the door, but as he moved to and fro
in the next room, he could hear the
murmuring of the little girls voice, and
then his masters, once more kind and
tender, as he comforted the tired child.
Presently the bell tinkled again, and
Thomas opened the door into the IL
brary to be met with the words:
Flush! She's all tired out, poor
child. Can you lay her on the lounge
without waking her, Thomas? She is
an orphan, poor little mite"
Thomas lifted the sleeping child
from the floor and laid her on the
lounge.

DAYS COME AND GO.
Cincinnati Post.


Leaves fall and flowers fade,
Days come and go;
Now is sweet summer laid
Low in her leafy glade,
Low like a fragrant maid,
Low, low, ah, low.
Tears fall and eyelids ache,
Hearts overflow;
Here for our dead loves sake
Let us-our farewells make
Will he again awake?
All, no, no, no.
Winds sigh and skies are gray,
Days come and go;
Wild birds are flown away.
Where are the blooms of May?
Dead, dead, this many q day,
Under the snow.
Lips sigh and cheeks are pale,
Hearts overflow;
Will not some song or tale,
Kiss, or a flower frail,
With our dead love aTail?
Ah, no, no, no.

New York States One Hundred Million

At Waterford will occur the most diff
ficult piece of work on the entire ca
nal consisting of three adjoining dou-
BILE locks and two single locks, also an
immense dam in the Mohawk river of
2,400 feet in length and So feet in height
which will back up the river for over
ten miles. These elaborate works will
all occur in less than two miles in
length and will serve to transfer the
main line of the canal from the Hudson
river at Waterford into the Mohawk
river above Cohoes.
In detail the route of the main or new
Erie canal will be as follows: Congress
street, Troy, by Hudson river to Wa
terford, west by branch north of Peo-
pies island, thence by locks already de-
scribed into the Mohawk river above
CohOes, up the Mohawk to Little Falls,
by the present canal around Little Falls
into the Mohawk river again, thence
to a point near JacksOnburg, by exist
ing canal to Herkimer, by the Mohawk
river to a point six miles east of Rome,
by WOOdcreek valley to Oneida lake,
through the lake TO Oneida river, to the
Oswego river, to the outlet of Onon-
daga lake, by Seneca river to Crusoe

pulse, and also that Siberia was cap
tured. Yermac went over the Ural
mountains and swept through the
sparsely settled plains of northern Asia
with his Cossacks, turning over his
conquests to the car. In a century
nearly all the present Siberian territory
had been overrun and taken.
The next accession of any moment to
Muscovy, or Russia, as it was coming
to be called. was in 1852, when the
! Cossacks of the Ukraine revolted from
Poland and gave their allegiance to the
car. The land movement at this time,
however, was away from Russia, for
/ Gustavus AdOlphus was defeating her
| half civilized soldiers and forcing ces-
sions of territory to Sweden. Among
the rest the site where now stands St.
Petersburg went to the triumphant
Swedish king.
To become effective this material hui
manity. this Muscovite body, needed a
soul. That soul came in 1889. The
name it bore was Peter-Peter the
] Great he has been called by succeeding
ages. Russia had been an animal
mass before. This man touched it with
a higher life. taught it civilization, gave
it a capital, organized it till it could
fight in modern fashion, brought it into
touch with other national human units
that had culture-made it, in fact, an
entity an organic thing. And, of
course, he continued the acquisition of
territory. He invaded Livonia, Ingria
and other of the Swedish possessions,
and when disastrously defeated by
/ Charles. XII. rather grimly remarked
that Sweden will teach the Russians
how to whip her yet" AS grinnly he
went to raising and training an army,
and his prediction was verified when
Charles was utterly demolished at
Pultowa. 1t may be remarked in pass
/ ing that the two most intrepid fighters
of modern Europe, who had dazzled
dashed against the human mass of
Russia and were shattered. If one
would form just estimate of the pow
er of the Muscovite he has but to look
at the closing chapters of the lives of
Charles XII. and Napoleon Bonaparte.

life that the great bear came hulking
up to the northwest across the wheat

an independent government was wiped
out Russia took all of the i'll fated
kingdom that was left, and Poland be-
came a Muscovite province. All this
was not accomplished without fighting,
some of the fiercest fighting in the
worlds history, and there were occa-
sional outbreaks for years after.
At the very time poor Poland was
being absorbed the bear was also busy
in the Crimea. There in fierce war
the Turk was driven back, and most of
the Caucasus came into the hands OF
the Russian. Azov was taken second
time, with several of the provinces Iy-
ing roundabout, naval road into the

Petersburg had arisen before and as
Odessa arose later. Some of this ter
ritory was lost in the subsequent Cri-
mean war with England, France and
Turkey but most of 1t remained per-
manently Russian.
During the nineteenth century the
empire of the Slav steadily pushed out
in all directions. In 1912 Bessarabia
was taken from the Turk. In 1914 and
1918 came further acquisitions in Po-
land. From 1889 to 1859 was the COM
plete subjugation of the Caucasus and
Transcaucasus. In 1855 was the cap-

will proceed much in the same way an
would a large private corporation.
Plans will be made under the direction
of the state engineer covering the con-
struction in detail, and on these plans
contracts will be let, as in ordinary
public works.
There are about 445 miles of canal to
be built. of which practically 2so miles
are new. and 155 miles consist of i'm
provements of existing canals. It is
intended to take up the most difficult
work first, which is that at the Troy
end, about Waterford and Cohoes, to
which reference has been made The
second point selected for immediate
operation is about four miles west of
Rome and reaching from that to Onei-
da lake, where a harbor will be built.
This section of the canal includes two
locks, with a total drop of forty-seven
feet Other points selected for early
attention lie just west of Rochester.
The body of men having in charge
this mammoth undertaking are the
lieutenant governor, state treasurer. at
torney general, state engineer, commits
sioner of public works, state cor1ptroI-
Ter and secretary of state.
The original Erie canal was opened
by Governor Clinton in 1926 and was
one of the noteworthy achievements of
the new century. 1t now develops that
George Washington before his death
urged the construction of such a wa
terway and in measure may be con-
sidered the father of the plan. After
being opened the canal was repeatedly
improved and always had an importers
influence on the transportation problem
of the Empire State. 1t was and is tho
longest canal in the world
The proposed improvements how
ever. will make this already historic
waterway so much greater than ever
before as to completely dwarf it's past
pretensions- For example, the new
1000 ton barges will be more than four
times as large as the present boats, and
set over against the three or four mil
lion tons of freight handled in all the
canals of New York at present is a re-
quired 100000 tons capacity in the
new Erie canal alone.

The queen was the real ruler of the
kingdom, and the prince was her neph-

high in royal favor, and the king estab-
