GIVES SOME IDEA OF
VASTNESS OF CANAL
Circular Issued by Commission for In
formation of Bidders Shows That
Excavation Will Run Into Mil
lions of Tons.

Washington some idea of the vast,
ness of the Panama canal project Is
conveyed in a circular issued by the
commission on Friday for the lnfor
nation Of prospective bidders for con
structing the canal II is said that the
quantities of material to be removed
and to be applied to the work of con
struction are only approximate and
even the location and character of
structures may be changed It is
hoped, how yer. that exact information
will be collected by the committee of
Ave engineers who are charged to es-
innate a reasonable cost and time for
completing the canal
The circular states under separate
heads the character OF the work to
be done. The amount Of excavation is
staggering in extent, amounting to
millions of tons.

REMARKABLE LIFE OF MlsER.
Englishman Hoarded Pennies and
Left Large Fortune to Queen.

John Camden Neild, whose magniti-
cent bequest to Queen Victoria sup
piled the funds out of which the
prince consort built the present Bal
moral castle, deserves place among
the great misers and was as remark
able a man as any of them. He was
educated at Elton and Trinity college,
Cambridge, and was barrister at
Lincoln's Inn. At the age of "a his
fathers death placed him in posses
sion Of a fortune of &250.000, and
from that moment he became con.
firmed miser.
Neild lived at 5 Cheyne walk, Chel
sea. His big house was so meanly
furnished that it did not even boast
of bed. Two old women, who did
his stoves, and black cat were his
sole companions. When he visited his
large estates in the Midlands, which
he did frequently, he generally walk
ed, unless he could get lift for moth
ing, and he was not even above TAX
ing a gratuitous seat on a dung cart
Sometimes he was compelled by tht
weather to take a seat on the stage
coach And there he would sit out
side, shivering and dripping-for b
never wore a greatcoat-an object 0
commiseration to his fellow passen
gers.

A Rule and an Exception.

According to the New York Trib-
une, country paper lays down this
rule of etiquette: When a lady and
gentleman are walking in the street,
the lady should walk inside of the
gentleman"
1t seems little strange that this
simple rule, so long current among
the cannibal tribes OF the Andaman
and other islands, should find it's way
into rural journal of more or less
civilization. II would appear that the
etiquette editor of the paper in ques-
ton was either too careless or too
hurried to note any exceptions to the
rule. Otherwise he would have ex-
planned that when the gentleman was
thirsty and desired to enter cafe,
the lady would walk on the outside

WILL OPPOSE KING.
Monarch Who Ate Wife for Dinner Is
Declared Insane.

Paris.-M. Millies-Lacroix, minister
Of the colonies, has decided to summon
the AMMAN state council and depose
King Thanh-Thai
A dispaach from Marseilles October
IL said that Thanh-Thai had been ad.
judged insane and that the French
authorities had made him prisoner.
Previously the king had ordered seven
Of his wives to be executed and looked
on with delight while they were slow
Iy tortured to death. After killing
one of his wives, he had the body
cooked and served for dinner, forcing
the members of his court, by threats
of death in case of refusal, to eat it.
Some of the kings wives were bound,
burned with boiling oil and subjected
to other tortures. and naked women
were thrown into the cages OF wild an
imals, where they were devoured in
the presence of the king.
When Thanh-Thai was made pris-
oner by the French authorities they
released the terror-stricken inmates of
| the palace.

The IDEAL Family Laxative.

Is one that can be used by the entire
family, young and old, weak and
strong, without any danger of harmful
effects. 1t should have properties
which insure the same dose always
having the same effect, otherwise the
quantity will have to be increased and
finally lose it's effect altogether. These
properties can be found in that old
family remedy, Brandreth's Pills, be-
cause its ingredients are of the purest
herbal extracts, and every pill is kept
for three years before being sold,
which allows them to mellow. We do
not believe there is laxative on the
market that is so carefully made.
Brandreths Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pills your grandparents
used. They have been in use for over
a century and are for sale everywhere
either plain or sugar-coated.

PLENTY Morel

Russell Sage was much opposed to
drinking. He would often rail with
homely and humorous wisdom against
drink.
Men drink he said one day to a
broker, because they are happy, be-
cause they are sad, because they are
too warm. because they are too cold.
Is there any logic in that?
when l see men drinking I think
of a little boy at the seashore.
This little boy, at play with his
bucket and shovel in the sand, sudden
ly ran to the edge of an advancing
wave, and, scooping up handful Of
salt water and foam, drank it greed
fly.
"'oh, don't drink that, said his
nurse. 1t will make you thirsty
What if it does?' said he. There's
plenty MORE"

Waldo Of Moman,s Nnsa.

An Englishwoman was awarded
$500 damages for a broken nose. The
Judge said: If my nose were injured
I do not suppose the jury would allow
me anything, but woman stands in
a different category"
Two French cases are apropos. In
one a man was awarded $3.50 for a
nose broken in a fight, while in the
other $500 was received by young
woman whose nose was broken in a
collision. The woman was an artists
model, and what would have been a
trihe to man was serious matter
to her, as it would probably prevent
her from earning her living as =

Every mother possesses information
which is of vital interest to her young
daughter.
Too often this is never impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance of natures mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and battle
physicians, as they SO often withhold
their confidence from their mothers
and conceal the symptoms which ought
to be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When a girls thoughts become slug
gish, with headache, dizziness or dis
position to sleep, pains in back or lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude;
when she is a mystery to herself and

THE TICKING OF THE CLOCK.
Soothing Company to Some sleepers
Cause Of Wakefulness in Others.

Not all people" said the jeweler,
like the ticking Of clock; 1t is
pleasant sound to most people, but
not to all.
Some people. clock lovers these,
couldn't sleep without clock in the
same room. Its ticking is company
and 1t scares away the spooks. Such
people would wake up If the clock
should stop in the middle of the
night.
But there are other people who
can't sleep with clock in the same
room and who, If they found them
selves in a strange place anywhere
with clock in their sleeping apart
ment, would stop the clock before
they went to bed.
"Of course there is much of habit
in this; but we have our fancies about
clocks, as we do about all things
else"
