s.Legging, a Canal Boat.

Throughout England there are num-
Der of tunnels cut for canals where
boats have to be pushed through by
a laborious process called "legging."
This is about the only work on the
canal women do not do, and they used
to do even this. One may see the
process in operation near London at
the Mazda Fill tunnel, which is some
PIP yards in length. Sometimes when
the roof is low one man can "leg" an
empty boat by lying down on his back
on top of the cabin and pushing the
roof with his feet With a broad boat
logging is performed by two men,
one on each side of the boat, who lie
eo"1I-or1-rHc rure emu ana push against
the tunnel sides with their feet. If the
tunnel Is too wide boards projecting
over the boats side, termed 'wings,"
are brought into use for them to lie on
At tunnels where traffic is good pro-
fessional "leggers'' are in attendance

Origin of 0the Leyant. >,

Nowadays "the Levant" means solely
the eastern Mediterranean region. But
It really signifies the east in general
sense-the region of the rising sun, in
fact-being derived from the French
"lever," to rise. By .'the high Levant''''
Bacon meant the far east. In the
eighteenth century Chambers Encyclo-
pedia explained that "Leyant' applied
to any country to the eastward Of one,
and In this sense Evelyn wrote Of
more Levantine parts than Italy"
"Levant," indeed, was interchangeable
with orient just as ''ponent'' was
with "occident." So we find Milton
writing of "Levant' and "Ponent"
minds. London Chronicle.

MASKED MOB DOES
A FEARFUL WORK
Tobacco Warehouses IN Ken

the Torch.
HEAVY LOSS INFLICTED

SERVICE SEIZED BY THE BURN

publishers Press.i

3 Princeton, KY, Dec. 1.-The tobacco
stemmeries of James Steger and John
G. Orr, the latter controlled by the
Imperial Tobacco company of New
York, were totally destroyed by fire
kindled by a mob of masked men.
Several cottages In the vicinity were
badly damaged, but nobody was hurt.
The loss is estimated at 100000.
The mob numbered about 300 men.
II seized the night marshal and dis
armed him, then went to the factories
and quickly applied the torch. The
masked men stood on guard. permit
ting nobody to come near until the
buildings were completely enveloped
IN flames and help was useless.
When the mob saw that the fire was
beyond control it left the town, going
in the direction of Hopkinsville, dis
charging revolvers and rifles. The fire
department came out. but could do
nothing more than prevent the fire
from destroying buildings in the vi
cinity.
The Steger factory is controlled by
the American Snuff company and Ste
ger is the Princeton agent for that
concern. Orr is the representative of
the Imperial company. There were
about 10000 pounds OF tobacco in
each warehouse. and all OF it burned.
The Steger stemmery was located
on the south side of town. on the III
nois Central railroad, and the Orr
building in the northern part Of town.
squad of the mob took charge OF
the telephone Office and no word of
.he affair was permitted to go out.
The men also took charge Of the po-
lice station and the waterworks. Even
had the firemen responded. they
would have been unable to obtain a
supply of water. The work OF the
mob~is believed to be only further
ance OF the agitation by the tobacco
raisers against the tobacco trust. The
organization of farmers is known as
TIL. Dark Tobacco Growers Protective
association. but it is not known that
any member of that organization was
in the mob.

ENGLISH AS A CLASSIC.
Study of the Language Is Now Pre-
dominant in American
Colleges.

A generation ago the education Of a
college man confined itself almost en-
tirely 10 study of Latin. Greek, phi
losophy and metaphysics, while now
the study of history, economics and
other subjects of practical bearing pre-
dominates. says President Schurman,
as reported in the Cornell sun. Inter-
EST in the classical languages has now
largely abated. even with persons who
make study Of them. The student
was formerly supposed to get his
training from Greek and Latin; Eng
fish he studied incidentally. Now the
study of English is predominant in the
American colleges. This should not be
considered, however, as disparage-
ment of the progress OF American cul-
ture. il should be remembered that
The Greeks themselves wrought out
their wonderful culture, literature and
art entirely without the aid of for
eign language The schoolboys OF
Greece were required to commit to
memory the best poems of the Ian
guage notably the poems of Homer
which shaped their thoughts, con-
yersation and acts, and finally their
character.

STRENGTH OF OPEN SKY.
The Great Things of Earth Are Con

What great deed was ever done in
doors? What great thing OF the earth
In art, in science, in romance was ever
conceived and brought forth within
walls? Pathos grows there, and small
tragedy. aud bitterness and pessimism,
but not great tragedy, nor the vast and
useful pessimism which upliftS human
nature and humanity, writes Emerson
Hough, in the Reader The Joyous,
hopeful, optimistic things, the large
and cheerful motives are found be-
meath the sky The Indians say that
the babe born in the wind will be
chief, and hat might well be so. What
strong blood ever grew indoors? What
great drama Of the ages was ever
played there? What duel on the stair
ever equaled the battle under the
trees? Science may delve, lamp wise,
but what great things even of science
came wholly from within walls? Elec-
tricity, navigation by the stars-the
things which have really conquered
the world-did these appear to man as
he studied at some table side? No. the
great and sweet things of knowledge
came from the naked stars Guilty
and troublous wisdom may have hous-
ing, concealment, and so make confes-
sion that 1t is evil: but before guilty
Eden knowledge was out OF doors.
