Tho Power of Prejudice.

A curious Illustration of deep-seated
prejudice is seen in the strong oppo-
sition displayed toward the plan to
construct a tunnel under the English
channel from England to France,
which has recently been revived and
has a good chance to go through un-
less British hostility shall result in
parliament blocking the scheme.
The plan contemplates double tun-
mel for railway purposes, about "a
miles in length; the estimated cost is
about $S0,000,000; it is believed the
engineering problem is comparative.
ly an easy one, as the rock through
which passage will be cut is of the
chalky order and can be readily
bored, and the financial and admins
trative phases of the undertaking
have been carefully looked after. 1t
is admitted that the tunnel, if COM
pleted, will confer immense benefit,
and that English manufacturers, by
HAVING IuO Wy "hiCA lASii PAOu-
ucts can be shipped directly and with
out breaking bulk to continental mar
kets, will score enormous advantage.
Still, there is a strong antagonism to
the tunnel, generated principally by
the Imperial defense committee,
which sees in the tunnel a menace
to national security. The fear OF in
vasion appears to be uppermost in
many British minds and this appre-
hension creates lively visions of an
enemy pouring in by way of the hole
pierced in the chalky Dover cliffs.
Yet, says Troy Times, little charge
of dynamite would instantly put the
tunnel out of business and the result
ant flood would drown any foe who
happened to be sneaking through to
strike a deadly blow at Albion.

PETER ScHAEFER Publish
Canals.

Since Washington planned a canal
from the Atlantic to the Ohio, and
Madison urged the need of one from
the Mississippi to Lake Michigan, ar
tificial connections have been pro-
posed between almost every two i'm
portant natural waterways Of the
country. For a time the development
of railways obscured the interest in
the canals. The Erie canal and 9TH
ers fell into comparative disuse.
Meantime other countries have con-
tinued to open new waterways and
make great use of them. The advan-
tages of water transportation, chiefly
its cheapness as compared with rail-
way traffic, have revived interest in
canals. To say nothing of the Pan
anna canal, the new Erie canal, which
will take thousandton barges from
the lakes to the ocean, and the Chi
cago drainage canal, constructed as a
sewage way and certain to be conf
pleted as a ship way, are examples
of what may be done. Our water
courses lie in four systems-the rivers
of the Pacific, the rivers of the At
lantic, the Mississippi and its tribu-
taries, and the great lakes. That there
will ever be a cut through the Rock
les to join the Pacific and the central
systems is beyond the dreams OF en-
gineers, remarks the Youths Compan-
ion, but any one with map may
trace the conduits that will make the
other three systems great unit of
traffic. Following streams where
they show on the map, draw line
from the Mississippi to Green Bay,
from Minneapolis to Duluth, from Gin
cinnati to Lake Erie, from Ashtabula
to Pittsburg, from Pittsburg to Wash
ington-and the great inland cities
have become seaports. Draw another
line from Boston to Providence by
way of Taunton or across Cape Cod
the canal is already provided for
from New York to Philadelphia, from
Philadelphia to Baltimore, cut the
heel of Virginia at the mouth of the
James, cut Florida along the thir-
tieth parallel, and a way is indi-
Gated by which steamer can go
from Boston to Galveston protected
from a foreign navy on the high
seas.

to Mr.. Leupp, the commissioner OK
Indian affairs, they are the original
American humorists. He once gave
some of them lecture on their duties
to the agent, pointing out that he
needed time to eat, be with his family
and to rest. An aged Indian of great
dignity rose to explain that the last
agent for the tribe never did anything
but rest. A more familiar story is
that of the Indian guide who told a
traveller that it was not necessary to
hide his valuables "for there is not an
other white man within a hundred
miles"

NEWS OF minnesota.
State Fair.

Secretary E. w. Randall Of the Min
nesota State Fair has been officially
informed that the board of directors
of the American Shorthorn Breeders
Association, at their annual meeting,
formally voted an appropriation Of
$4,000 for premiums for a special
shorthorn show at the Minnesota
state fair. The appropriation is made
with the provision that the Minnesota
State Agricultural Society shall set
aside like amount and thus make the
entire premium offerings for shorthorn
cattle the full sum of $4,000.
Immediately upon receipt of this no.
LITIGATION the managers acquiesced in
the provision and have appropriated
$4,000 and have thus secured the hold
ing of a great Shorthorn exhibition
at the next fair. But in addition they
have promoted an enormous livestock
show all along the line, as the action
in regard to shorthorns will stimulate
other breeders associations and there
are good chances of liberal appropria-
lions from several of these organiza-
lions. Secretary Randall is in cor
respondence with the American Here
ford Breeders Association, the Ameri-
can Aberdeen-Angus Association and
others and expects favorable action in
the near future.
One feature Of the Shorthorn show
will be Of great interest to Minnesota
livestock breeders. OF the total Of
$4,000, $1,000 will be set aside exclus-
lively for Minnesota Shorthorns. This
will give the breeders of the state a
chance to show their stock without
competition with fancy stock from
other parts Of the country privilege
which they will not be slow to take
advantage Of. At the same time If
they wish to compete in the open
classes for a share of the $4,000 offered
without limitation, they are at liberty
to do so-and some of the Minnesota
herds will have good chances of win
ming in this general competition.

How Burbank Works.

In his methods of working, Burbank is
quick and decided. 1t was my privilege
to be with him during one morning in his
''proving- grounds" at Sevastopol, some
seven miles from his home. Row after
row of young plum-trees, covered with
fruit, stood before us. Two assistants
were with us, one with handful Of white
cords and one with a handful of brown or
black ones.
''These are all grown from the same
seed. Now see how they differ" He
picked few plums from the first tree.
Rapidly he looked at one, carefully tasted
it, and said: skill" had scarcely got my
teeth into the first plum when he was on
to the next tree, and the next, and the
next, with rapidity that was simply as
founding. His keen eyes trained to scien-
tific accuracy, saw at what seemed to me
to be one glance all the attributes of the
tree. One taste satisfied him as to texture,
juiciness, and flavor of the fruit, and thus,
almost in moment, he had decided
whether the tree was worth keeping for
further experimentation, or was to go to
the bonfire.
Almost as fast as l can write it the words
fell from his lips, skill, keep" 'Keep,"
ssKill," sKill," ''Keep.n The attendants
followed, and put on the white or black
strings which denoted the fate of the par
ticular tree.-George w. James in Circle.
