The Capacity of a Canal.

Many mistakes have been made in
this country in locating canals by not
taking into account all the peculiar
conditions under which they will have
to be operated to complete their fullest
mission. After determining the nature
of the available water supply, we must
consider the climate, the length of the
growing season, the kinds of crops
grown, the average date of harvest, the
number of cuttings of hay that can be
made during each season and the part
of the growing season in which occurs
the flood discharge of the stream the
waters of which are to be used.
It happens that the flood waters or
the streams of most of the states ana
territories can be utilized for irrigation
during some period of the growing sea-
son, generally at the beginning. In al
titudes so high that but one cutting OF
hay can be grown, this flood discharge
is usually available during the matur-
ing of both hay and grain. When two
or more cuttings can be made, II is gen
orally available for the first and sec
ond, and for the irrigation OF all xmas
of grain crops, but may not be avail
able for the third cutting OF hay nor
for the irrigation of large acreage OF
orchard land.
In places where the climate condl-
lions admit but one cutting OF hay the
problem is very simple. The irrigating
season would begin early and be short,
all or nearly all the waters being
used during a period of perhaps sixty
DAYS. In such cases, however, water

have become acquainted with its
value, but only few compared with
those who have not yet tried it. To
give an idea of what it will do l will
give the yield of oats on half-acre
of ground raised by T. A. Logson,
neighbor whose land joins my farm
at Corvallis, Ore. He threshed Is
bushels of good oats on this half
acre. I asked what he had done with
the ground to make it yield such
crop. His answer was; "You eastern
ers say it is clover. This land was
in clover for two years before, and
am an fastener" Now that is just
the point I want to get people to see,
what large crops can be raised II
clover is grown. Glover builds up the
land in the east so that it will raise
as good crops as it did the first year
is was broken up.

FLIES WALKING on CEILING.

Few people probably know what it
is that enables flies to walk on the
ceiling. 1t has been supposed that
their ability to do so was due to the
fact that each of their feet is minia-
ture air-pump. This theory was
found to be unsound, and it was then
explained that the feat was made pos
sible by means of a ciscous substance
which exuded from the hairs on their
feet.
This theory also was abandoned as
being only partly accountable for the
facts; and the preferred explanation
is that flies are enabled to walk up
side down on smooth substances by
the help of capillary adhesion. An
investigator has found by series of
nice calculations-such as the weigh
ing and measuring of hairs-that a
fly would be upheld by capillary at
traction were it four.ninths as heavy
again as it is. Each fly is supposed
to be furnished with from 10000 to
1900 minute foot-hairs these
exude an oily fluid, and it is because
oe the repulsion between watery
surface and this oily liquid that fly
finds it difficult to mount dampened

WOULDN'T SEE HIN srAHvE.

An Ohio man tells of the sad case
of a young fellow, the son of a veal
thy Toledo manufacturer, who.
against his fathers wishes, insisted
upon going to Chicago to make his
way. whereas the parent desired
that his son train himself in the To-
ledo business house.
At first the lad did very well in the
larger city, but it was not long be-
fore he was making urgant appeals
to his father for financial assistance.
To these the old gentleman, who had
himself been trained in hard school,
turned deaf ear.
Finally, the desperate boy wired
his father in these words: "You
won't see me starve, will you !"
The old mans reply came in the
form of the following telegram
mo, not at this distance."
The boy decided to return to Tole-
do and 60 to work for the old man.

The world needs not thy sadness,

There Is but time for gladness,
And these como from above.
But why didst first thou SORROW,
And, Heart, why didst thou weep?
For thou'lt have strength tomorrow.
And love that's true and deep
If thou wilt do thy duty,
And turn to truth alway,
Thou soon shalt see the beauty,
OF life that lives for aye!
Lo. now q light Is round thee
Thy heart Is calmed by peace!
Thine eyes have seen the glory,
The Joy where pain doth cease;
So think no more of sadness,
But live each day in praise,
The world will hall thy gladness
Each time thy voice is raised.

STORY OF sHER1DAH's PARENTS.

One of the sweetest and most pa
thetic war stories is about the Sheri-
dams, father and mother of Gen. Phil
Sheridan.
The old people were living at Som
erset, Ohio, when word came that
Gen. Sheridan had suffered a great
defeat id the Shenandoah Valley.
They slept none that night, but in
the morning the old gentleman said :
Mother, I have thought it all out.
Phil wasn't there when the fight be-
gan. That is what the paper said.
1t would not be like our boy to re-
main away throughout the battle. As
I make it out, Phil returned in time
to save the day. I'll go to the store
and wait until the paper comes, get
the news and hurry back. 1 don't
believe there's anything to worry
about"
II hope you are right, father, but
I'm afraid yesterdays news was cor
rect. Phil has had so much good
luck I'm afraid he's had bad luck in
this battle"
Old Mr.. Sheridan was sitting on
the steps in front of the store when
man rode up and called out, Good
news from Sheridan u
Then one of the bystanders caught
up the morning paper and read the
account of Sheridan's return to the
army, of his turning the tide, of the
Presidents message of thanks, of
Sheridan's heroic conduct and the
complete rout Of the enemy.
The paper said it was one of the
greatest victories of the war.
That was enough for Mr.. Sheridan.
He started on trot to tell Mrs. Sheri-
dan the news about her great
est battle.
She saw him coming and hurried
to the gate to get the tidings from
Cedar Creek.
"Glory to God, mother, glory to
God Phil licked 'em The Presi-
dent has sent him the country's
thanks, and the paper says it was one
of the greatest fights of the war. I
knew Phil would get back in time to
save the day."
The old couple hugged and kissed
and kissed and hugged again and
again.
After they had gone into the house
the old lady suddenly became very
sober.

A LESSON FROM THE BIRDS.

The marriage life of most birds
could be taken for model even by
members Of the human family. There
is, for instance, the staid, digni6ed
and homely baldheaded eagle-the
glorious emblem of the American re-
public. He mates but once, and lives
with his mate until he or she dies.
If left a widower-even young
widower-the baldheaded eagle never
mates again. He remains alone and
disconsolate in the nest on the rocky
crags or in the branches Of tall pine
that formed his domicile while his
mate was alive. No other female
eagle can tempt him to forsake his
disconsolate life. With him once a
widower, always a widower.
The golden woodpeckers live IN a
happy married state, mating but once.
If the male dies his mates grief is
lasting, and she lives widowed bird
the rest of her life. So, too, the
male woodpecker never seeks another
mate after the death of his own. He
taps on a tree beside their nest day
and night trying to recall her; then
at length, discouraged and hopeless,
he becomes silent and never RECEIVERS
his gayety.

HIS wIFE's MONEY.

Once upon time man married a
woman who had inherited $500 from

received, but the man never got credit
for his efforts the rest of his life. He
built a new store. Ibid it with his
wife's money" the neighbors said.
The home was made over and en-
larged. "His wife's money did it, "
was the only comment. The little
measly $500 she inherited was given
the credit for everything he did dur
ing life, and when he died and bis
widow put up monument with bis
life insurance, "Her money paid foi
that" was said again. But this is
what her money really went for

PASSES CUT OFF.

AS a result of the mo pass" order
of the Pennsylvania and Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad companies, Con-
eressmen are doing not much rail-
road riding these days. The Wash
ington correspondent for the New
York World says:
when railroad passes were free
for the asking, members from Penn
sylvania, Maryland, New York, New
Jersey and other nearby states gener-
ally left the capital Friday for home,
returning Monday morning. Now
they find it cheaper to stay here.
The elimination of the pass has re-
suited, too, in cutting down the size
of the trains out of this city on the
Pennsylvania railroad.
1.-The favorite train of Congress-
men in the old days was the Con-
gressional Limited, which leaves here
at d O'Clock in the afternoon and ar
rives in Jersey City before 9.
"It makes only three or four stops,
and it used to be well filed with pass
holders. So great was the desire of
passholders to ride on this train, which
is an extra fare express, that it fire.
quently left here in two or three
sections and more passes were collect
ed than fares. One day last year,
| Just after the holiday recess, the
first section started with 22I passen-
gers, and at Baltimore the conductor
had 2I5 passes, 2 half-fare tickets and
full fares. The Congressional Linn
tied now runs in only one section, and
there is plenty ofroom. The dimInu-
ton in travel since the mo pass" or
! der went into effect is shown also on
the midnight trains. In the old days
Congressman were accustomed to run
ming over to New York twice and
three times a week. The midnight
trains are not so large nor crowded
