Man and His Hair Cut.

''There is always one sure way to
tell when a man is a visitor in New
York city," said the laxative barber
'and that Is by his back hair. Every
now and then a stranger drops in here,
and during the conversation while I
am shaving him 1 say to him, You're
a stranger in town, are you notr And
then he looks up in a surprised kind of
fashion and says, Yes, but how did you
know And then l tell him knew 1t
by the way his back hair is cut.
you see, all New York BARRIERS use
the clippers on a mans back hair and
shape it down his neck. The old fash
ion of rounding off the hair and shaw
ing the neck went out of style long
ago. But it doesn't seem to have gone
out of date in the west and south yet.
Even in big cities like Philadelphia and
Baltimore and Washington the BARRIERS
still shave the back Of their customers
necks. So in ninety-nine cases out OF
a hundred when you see a man with
the back of his neck shaved clean, no
matter how spruce his clothes are, you
may know he doesn't belong in New
York New York Press.

l accompany this paper with a map
showing substantially what the canal
will be like when it is finished. When
the Culebra cut has been made and
the dams built Gf they are built as at
present proposed), there will be at
both the Pacific and Atlantic ends of
the canal two great fresh water lakes,
connected by broad channel running
at the bottom of a ravine across the
backbone of the western hemisphere.
Those best informed believe that the
work will be completed in about eight
years, but it is never safe to prophesy
about such a work as this, especially
in the tropics. .---

Confident of Ultimate Success.
OF the success of the enterprise am
as we'll convinced as one can be of any
enterprise that is human. 1t is a stu
pendous work upon which our fellow
countrymen are engaged, and, while
we should hold them to a strict &C.
countability for the way in which they
perform it, we should recognize, with
frank generosity, the epic nature of the
task on which they are engaged and its
worldwide importance. They are do
ing something which will rebound i'm
measurably to the credit Of America,
which will benefit all the world and
which will last for ages to come.

the same credit that we would give to
the picked men of victorious army,
for this conquest of peace will in its
great and far reaching effect stand as
among the very greatest conquests,
whether of peace or Of war, which
have ever been won by any of the peo-
pies Of mankind. A badge is to be Civ
en- to every American citizen who for
a specified time has taken part in this
work, for participation in it will here
after be held to reflect honor upon the

honor upon a soldier to have belonged

Now it is Anthony Trollope whose
fame is to be revived, if possible, by
the issue Of new editions of his works,
and it will be interesting to see wheth-
er the reading public responds. He
was on his own showing the most
Philistine, the most commercially
minded and the most mechanical Of
novelists Every morning he sat at bis
desk, wrote straight ahead for three
hours at the rate Of thousand words
an hour. He also went straight home
and killed a character because a club
man of his acquaintance protested that
the parsonage in question was getting
tiresome- The temptation is strong to
say that only ephemeral work can be
produced under such conditions, but
literary method is not subject on
which it is safe to generalize.-London

TRAGEDY OF A NATION.
The Dreyfus Case the Shame of the
Third Republic.

You will never understand the tragic
story of Dreyfus, his martyrdom, his
triumph, unless you know, vaguely at
least something of this third republic
Of France, which was born in the ig-
nominy of treachery and defeat, which
lived and lives in the greater gnominy
of financial and political scandals
scandals so sinister that only those
who live in the Latin world can com
prehend their significance. Even as
the Panama affair showed how the rul-
ers of the third republic-Rouvier,
Clemenceau and many another-were
bought and sold in corruption, the taw-
drier Humbert case demonstrated that
the judiciary, from the guard of seals
down to the casual judge, was capable
of conspiring for wholesale theft The
third republic is polypus with three
entacles-bureaucr atic judicial, mill
tary. Panama proclaimed the infamy
of the bureaucracy; the monstrous theft
set on foot by old Humbert, the min
lister Of justice and guard of the seals,
proclaimed that Of the judiciary; 1t
was reserved for the Dreyfus case to
uncover the military ignominy-not Of
France, mark you, but of the third
republic, which is a very different
thing.
In way you know the story of the
young captain, studious and good, who
was caught up into it's tentacular orbit,
but you do not know it all. What Is
most wonderful in it is the fierce and
sudden uprising of humanity in this
old Latin world. 1t seemed for awhile
that the third republic was a sewer
notissima fossa - in which all ideals
were drowned. Then, as though sum-
moned by a maker of miracles, there
rose this white ideal of humanity
greater than the love Of country, race
or religion-man's love for man, the
hate Of injustice, anger against the lie.
What spoke then was the collective
soul Of France, and in that voice was
heard the august and savage wisdom
of the people-peasants Of the field
and helots of the mines-the people.
When once that voice was heard the
end was no longer in doubt. The
drama rose from its first base acts Of
suicide, murder, forgery, perjury, de-
lation; it became a revolution at once
social and political; it caught up in
its swirling folds this young captain,
studious and good, and made Of him
a battlefag a point Of attack, a raj
lying point, the muse and center of
one of the great human movements Of
this age or any age. Nor did the CIV
ilized world stand aside content to
watch the battle. 1t poured millions
of fighting money into France; its
great men fought with pen and voice
in all known languages of Europe; To-
cal ideals of race and patriotism were
forgotten = this war was humanity's
war. That was the tragedy of a ma
ton, for while Dreyfus hung chained
to that DEVILS rock in the southern
seas France was thrown, like a dead
girl, to the lampreys and eels of an
archy. - Vance Thompson in Success

Church Publicity.

The possibilities Of church advsrtis-
ing are under discussion by the clergy
of St Louis. By church advertising Ii
not meant the perfunctory announce
ment of services that may be found In
almost any city newspaper, but attrac-
tive display so prominently placed as
to catch the eye and arrest attention Of
every reader. What the church ads.
are now the store ads. were a hun
dred years ago. But it is the con-
sensus of ministerial opinion that 1t Is
not going to take a century or even
decade for religion to catch up with
business in the matter Of publicity.
The principles that make for success
in mercantile advertising ought to be
and soon will be applied to the public
messages Of the churches. - PhiladeE

After most careful consideration we
have decided to let out most Of the
work by contract If we can come to

ors. The whole work Is of a kind
suited to the peculiar genius OF our

the type of contractor best fitted to
grapple with 1t. After much consid-

This plan was drafted by Chief Engi-
neer Stevens, was submitted to the
chairman of the commission, Mr..

Rogers, the legal adviser of the COM
mission, and copies were then sub

some Of the best counsel at the New
