The Old Time PnrIor.

The days of the parlor are fast going.
There was once a time when every
family, no matter how poor, had its
parlor And generally the parlOr was
a most useless place, but 1t was the
pride of the housewife. The Observant
Citizen remembers some time ago when
the lady of the house insisted that he
should see her parIor." Her husband
smiled good naturally, and they both
led the way to big front room which
was locked. The door was unlocked,
and the parlor got its first fresh air in
months The little family had expend-
ed much money on the parlOr. Every
thing was new but the stuffed birds
under glass cases The design of the
carpet was wonderful In that ii consist
ed of bright red roses. One felt like
stepping into bed of flames. A horse
shoe sofa, very erect. was the principal
article Of furniture, while at the win
dows were the stiffest lace curtains you
ever saw. The room had a musty
smell due to long confined air. 1t was
luxury imprisoned on small scale
and the finest example Of the old time
useless parlOr. Union.

There is bOttOmless pit In the noun

the Hawaiian Islands. 1t IS about four
feet in diameter. The pit is peculiar

five seconds and then subsidies for a

Enuineers Claim Cost and Time Of
Sea Level Canal Not Much Greater.
Washington, Nov. 20.-Meardbers OF
the board of consulting engineers OF
the Panama Canal commission, who
voted for sea-level- canal, believe its
construction should not take more
than fifteen years, or only two or three
longer than would ice necessary for q
lock canal. They say the locks would
have been so large that even the
drawing OF the plan, would have taken
more than year, and the building OF
the cement constructions calls for a
ffwher class of workmen than the or
binary laiborers used for digging the
excavation. The cost OF the sea-level
canal they estimate, at about $780,
900, 900, which, they claim, is only
slightly higher than under the lock
plan. It Is pointed out that between
$1,000 900 and $40 100000 would be
acquired to pay FOR lands which would
be inundated by lock canal
The plan as adopted would make
Limon Bay one of the greatest harbors
of the world, elevate San Cristobal to

longs to lie Reptile of Panama, out

Soon the light vanished, and he lay
down, his pipe between his teeth, close
to the caves entrance. Weary though
he was he could not sleep forthwith.
His mind was occupied with the signs
on the canister head.
"32 divided by 1; an X and lot"
he repeated several times. Whit do
they signify?"
Suddenly he sat up, with every sense
alert, and grabbed his revolver. Some
thing impelled him to look toward the
spot, few feet away, where the skele-
ton was hidden. 1t was the rustling Of
bird among the trees that had caught
his ear.
