WASHINGTON, D. c. Aug. 2S.-
Itis said on the best of authority that
the action Of some of the officials Of
the Government in trying to get atl'
thorIzatfon for the creation Of a def
cit in the construction of the Panama
Canal this year is nothing in the'world
but an effort to dtscredlt Colonel
Goethals, the engineer in charge. y
is pointed out by one who is in a
position to know, that there is twenty
million dollars remaining in the
Treasury as an unexpended balance,
and that at best this cannot be all
expended until long after Congress
has had opportunity to appropriate
the amounts needed in addition to
what has already been appropriated
1t is said that the policy Of the ad
mlnistration is to deal out so much
to Colonel Goethals each month-d!.
yldlng the entire appropriation by
twelve, and giving him one-tweltth
each month. What Colonel Goethals
wants, is that he be allowed to use
as much of 1t per month as he needs
1t is his view that operations will not
be as extensive in the wet season as
they are now, and that he ought 2
be allowed to spend every dollsr dur
Ing the dry season that he can. Here
toiore they have nut allowed him TO
do SO. However, the President has de-
clded that he may but al statements
that are given out would indicate th't
he wants to create a defcit, whereas,
all that hesis asking is that he be al
lowed to use the available approprla
ton to the best advantage.

acceptable to men is to show its like

Foxes Lose Their Scent.

A correspondent of The Field
throws out curious suggestion with
regard to scent in connection with
fox-hunting. He considers that when
fox gets some violent shock, as, for
example, when jumping through a
hedge 1t comes suddenly upon Ia
borer, it loses its scent. The hounds
are, of course, put out, and the fox
has chance of escape. 1t is sug-
gested that very frightened animals
may thus be able to withhold their
scent, and that this may be pro-
vision of nature to enable them to es-
cape. In connection with this, says
the London Globe, curious observa.
ton made by an experienced M. +. H.
may be mentioned. He noticed that
when the vixens are with cub they
lose their scent, so that they cannot
be hunted, or are hunted only with
difficulty. 1t has been suggested,
also, that sitting cartridges and
pheasants lose their scent, 80 that
sporting dogs passing through the
woods, etc., where their nests are do
not find them,

years of misery passed with my son. AS
an infant noticed on his body red spot
and treated same with different remedies
for about five years, but when the spot
began to get larger 1 put him under the
care of doctors. Under their treatment
the disease spread to four different parts
OF his body. The longer the doctors treated
him the worse it became. During the day
it would get rough and form like scales
At night it would be cracked, intiamed and
badly swollen, with terrible burning and
itching. When | think of his suffering, it
nearly breaks my heart. His screams
could be heard downstairs. The suffering
of my son made me tull of misery. haa
no ambition to work, to eat, nor could

that mold his life. The eye Of the
Christian is single and when he looks
at you you may read therein the
deepest motives of his soul There Is
no mud there. But how different are
the motives of the men of the world.
Lacking principle, it is we'll to be
wary of their motives. The man VINO
is continually looking out for himself
may, not unjustly, be suspected OF
having an axe to grind. His CHIEF
aim is to throw dust in your eyes
that you may not see through him.
His ways ere devious and his motives
double and dangerous.
But the greatest thing that differ
entiates the Christian from the world
is the soul life. The man who puts
his trust in temporalities has little OF
that and generally wants more of 1t.
Being chiefly Jealous to get full
store of this worlds goods he hasn't
time to waste over the inner man
and intangible realities of life. His
time is preoccupied by the present.
The Christian, however, is not so.
Living a full, rich, free, helpful life
in the world, he yet realizes that az
ter all the soul life Is the thing. His
chief interest in the material things
of life lies in the fact that through
them his soul may find expression.
To live near to God Is his first desire
and endeavor, for he knows that Their
the basis of life Is sure.
All, yes, there is difference be-
tween Gods men and Belial's. There
is a sharp line of demarkation be-
tween the life of selfshness and the
life of selfllessness. On the one hand
we have an army of pure minded.
clean hearted, noble acting men ano
women; and opposed to them host
of unprlncipled self-seekers. The
man who is clothed upon by Christ
cannot be happy and and do wrong;
the servant of Satan thinks 1t happi'
ness If so be he only gets on top
The Christian views his actions in the
light of eternity and considers theii
everlasting consequences.

should be labelled by the clothes they
