to be fully prepaid with stamps
affixed We cannot afford to pay
the postage that would be charged

The Old Suez Canal.

Few people are aware that there had
been a canal across the isthmus Of
Suez before De LessepS ever conceived
the idea Of his monumental enterprise.
4 canal across the isthnus was actual
" constructed 600 years before the
Christian era and serTed as water
way for small vessels until about 1000
years ago, when it was allowed to fall
into disuse Napoleon revived the idea
and instructed one Of the great engi-
neers of his day to investigate the mat
ter, but though a favorable report was
presented to him, in which N. Lepere
recommended the restoration Of the
canal, the work itself was never touch
ed. When M. de Lesseps undertook
the task Of cutting the canal he thought
at first to follow the idea Of Napoleon
and restore the ancient waterway, but
this plan was abandoned and the pres
ent plan determined upon.

who grabbed the watch out Of his pock-

Il was standing on the corner when
a man comes up to me and says he is
hard up and hasn't cent to buy food
with, and he wants to sell me this
r-atch for So. I knew could get 81 on
it in pawn, and I felt sorry for him
and bought the watch for So and pawn
ed it for 81. That's how got the
watch"
The prosecutor then asked, if he had
bought the watch for So, knowing he
could pawn it for 81, simply to help
the man along because he felt sorry for
him, why he did not advise him to
pawn it himself, and then he would
have had 81 instead Of So.

It would perhaps be pushing meta

speak of dignity Of labor in connec-

if by the phrase we mean that labor is
the honorable lot Of all citizens and
that all labors Of whatever sort are
upon the same level Of respectability

zone Of the queerest superstitions,
says a secondhand book dealer in this
city" is the idea that the bookworm
commits immense ravages among
printed volumes and yet has never
been seen. People think it bores holes
through books and eats out large cavi-
ties in the middle Of volume, then
disappears, and the superstition even
goes so far as to assert that the book
worm will eat hole that would hold
a marble right in the middle OF Q
book, then vanish without leaving any
exit.
1.-THE plain truth is that almost any
borers that infest wood will bore holes
through books and also that cockroach-
es do about as much harm to books
as any other insects. There are doz-
en- different kinds OF borers that do
more or less damage to books, and
the reason why the insects are not
more frequently caught is that they do
their work and generally leave the
book to enter the chrysalis state in 9TH
er quarters. None of the boring worms
are large, and even when borer is
actually at work the sudden opening
Of the book allows the insect to drop
out unobserved.
American made books, however, are
very little troubled by borers. There
are so many different kinds Of chem
icals used in the covers, bindings, pa
per and paste that boring insects gem
