WORK OF THE DREDGES.
As Harbors Get Shallower and Steam
ers Get Deeper.

From Casters Magazine.
All over the world the work Of deep
ening harbors and channels Is in progress
arisen less from economic factors than
from physical. Modern ports such as
Liverpool have been able to survive only
by constant fight against destruction
by natural forces, such as sitting I'D and
bar formations.
Without powerful dredgers Liverpool
mush have been very seriously ham
pered. Only a few years ago SO careless
did the Liverpool port authorities become
that the low water depth on Liverpool
bar became as little as eleven feet At
one time it was as low as seven feet
Southampton. with it's natural deep
water and backed by powerful rail-
way company, caused So much loss-and
so much greater prospective loss-to
Liverpool that dredging was begun in
earnest Now the Mersey bar is practi-
cally non-existent for the largest vessels
at all stages of the tide.
The Canadian marine department
stirred to action by the growth of steam
ships. has decided to dredge the channel
of the st. Lawrence river SO as to give
a minimum depth of thirty-fve feet all
the way to the sea. The work will be
begun next year with the aid of several
new dredgers about to be built at the
government yard at Sorel where there
Is already under construction a dredge
which will he the largest in the world
All this is being done for the port of
Montreal, which can be used only half
the year, for ii Is sealed up for five to

Military Honors for White Swan.

Last summer, in a letter from Lander.
Wyo.. 1 stated that Washakia. the Sho-
shone chief. was the only Indian ever
given military funeral. This state
ment called out correction from Will
that White Swan, Crow Indian. was
buried with military honors near the
Custer battlefield in Montana in 1908.
White Swan Mr. Camp says. was
a scout in the battle of Little Big Horn
with Mai. Reno, June p. 1876, and was
severely wounded i'll the retreat out of
the valley. just before Custer attacked
the Sioux village four miles farther
down" He was a brother Of Curley, the
Crow scout, who was the only survivor
of Clusters command.
Upon application for the facts to Mr..
S. u. Reynolds, agent of the Crow In
dians. in Montana, he sent me the fol-
lowing:
In the fall of 1908 White Swan died.
and before he passed away he requested
mo to see that he was buried i'm the ma
tional cemetery on the Custer battlefield.
I wired the ouartermaster general for
permission to bury him there, and it was
granted. The people present at the burial
battlefield, myself and other government
employees, the Indian school children,
and very large following of our reser-
walton Indians. One of our Indian boys

SYRIAN BABY'S FIRST TOOTH.
Event Celebrated by Exchange of
Sweets and Pastries.

From the New York Sun
Among the Syrians there is no such
thing as giving party in celebration OF
the first anniversary of the birth Of a
child; the celebration is held when the
baby cuts its first tooth. On such an &C.
casion friends of the parents are not III
yited to the house to eat cakes and listen
to monograph, but whatever sweets
NAV he prepared for the occasion are sent
by the parents to the homes of the friends
whom they wish to inform of the news
The friends later visit the parents and
tender their congratulations.
Whatever the sweets may be. one par
ticular dish is indispensable 'SanaInieh
Is it's name The mother begins to pre-
pare it soon after the birth of the child.
First and foremost in the preparation of
this dish is wheat. Parents with many
friends use between ten and twenty
pounds of wheat. The grain is boiled
with sugared water until it is TIT to be
eaten. when it is put into hollow dishes
and allowed to cool. The other materials
include nuts, peeled almonds, pine seeds,
candies and the like. These ingredients
are spread over the grain and sprinkled
with rose water, and then the diSh Is
ready to be sent out.
Sometimes one of the parents will carry
a dish of this stuff to particularly close
friend The women or the men as the
case may be embrace one another, and
the nefghbor brings into play all his
knowledge of the congratulatory express
sions BETTING the occasion, some OF
which run like this:
ooh. my neighbor and friend. may the
child live long to bring joy to your heart.
Nav il please Allah that you marry him
during your lifetime. l cannot describe
to Won how elated and enraptured | am
to know that. your child has cut tooth.
oh son of my uncle, | am going to make
an offering to a church for the long life
of your child
Then. without much loss of time. the
neighbor invites his visitor to drink of
arac to the health of the baby. and very
seldom does he let him depart without
having had four or five
The dishes in which the sanainieh is
carried to neighbors and friends are
not returned Immediately. Sometimes it
is a week. or even two, before they are
back in their customary places in the
family cupboard. When they are returned
they are not empty.
1t is the duty of the recipient of dish
of sanainieh to return the dish full Of
some delicacy Hence the home of tie
baby's parents will resemble an elaborate
exposition of pastries and sweets when all
the dishes are i'll.

Paris Siege Survivors.
From the London Chronicle.

Three hundred survivors of the siege of
Paris have been holding a banquet at
which they ate horsefiesh with entbu-
siasm.' This is quite possible. for ac-
cording to the testimony of many Parish
ans who PASSED through those dreadful
days. although at first horsef1esh was
thought detestable, they soon became ac-
customed TO IL, and many people pre-
dictcd that IT would become permanent
article of consumption, even amoug the
Nell-to-do. The chief army surgeon I'M
der Napoleon ! had high opinion OF
the sustaining powers of horsehsh. and
welcomed any opportunity Of feeding the
troops on it. After the battle of Esq
ling he notes in his memoirs, "our sup
plies were cut off, and for three days /
fed the army OH the horses which had
fallen in action. For saucepails VIC used
breastpiates, and gunrowder served in
lieu of salt. Even Marshal Massena him
SELF enjoyed this Diet

A Story of the Bread Line.

J. G. Hallimond, superintendent Of the
Bowery Mission in New York city. sends
me touching story of the bread line"
the thermometer was down below zero
and blizzard was blowing. The bread
line was much shorter than usual.
This was quite what we expected"
said Mr.. Hallimond, owing to the I'M
usually bitter night. The municipal lodg-
ing house was filled to overfiowing.
while most of the lodging houses on
the Bowery were filled as WELL
Senator Timothy j. Sullivan had his
annual distribution of shoes, many thou
sands of which We're given to men who
were otherwise absolutely destitute, and
it Is lamentabie fact that many of the
men, hungry, tired and chilled to the
bone by the arctic weather, sold their
shoes i'm order to get shelter. There were
between three and four hundred men in
our bread line, and we were able to pro-
vide beds for the most of them owing
to very happy incident.
Some few weeks ago one of the men
who had been i'm the bread line himself
and had suffered all kinds of hardships
unexpectedly came into possession OF a
thousand dollars. AS a thank offering
for his unexpected good fortune, he
handed me one-tenth of that amount for
the help of his less fortunate brethren.
Twenty-Five dollars of this he wished to
be devoted to the men in the Memorial
House, twenty-five to the uen in the
brotherhood. and fifty dollars he left
with me to dispose of as l thought fit.
After consultation with him ] decided to
keep this amount in reserve for just
such stormy night as came upon us
last night. with view to providing old
and sick men with lodgings. This has
stood us in good stead in the few very
stormy nights that we have had this
winter"
Commenting upon this John G. Earl
treasurer of tho Bowery Mission. says:
This brings right up against the
real thing. Tim Sullivan with his big.
generous heart, Tammany leader on the
one hand and the poor bread line bum
on the other gives you true picture
of benevolence. The newspapers told
several fancifuI stories about the bum
who sold his shoes for a beer, when, as
fact. with the thermometer two de-
greeS below zero, those poor wretches
sold them to save their wretched lives.
Think Of that poor o,Itcast giving 10
per cent of his all to better those he
was leaving behind! What rich philan-
thropist ever gives much in charity
as the poor giving to the poor. We are
working here i'm the midst OF tho saddest
tragedies of life. trying our best to fan
into flame once more the little sparks
of hope that Vet remain alive i'm the
hearts of those who have known higher
and happier days.
MI hammond doied out the flrSt part
of that 80 in ten-ccnt donations for
nights lodgings for men whose days
We're already. numbered
1t would be interesting to know some
thing moro about the man with the leg
anywhere he came from where the
money came from and what became of
him when he received the windfa1?
After giving Mr.. TIallimond the 500 he
vanished. and has not been seen or hea rd
from since. But there is plenty of op-
portuntty for conjecture and, without
doubt, material for thrilling story.

Panama Canal in War.
From National Magazine


The strategic value of the Panama canal
is estimated To be equivalent to a fleet
of large batteships. This is the con-
clusion of DIR. Cornish. given before the
Royal Geographical Society in London.
Taking the cost of the canal at 5000 00, :
900, which would only build forty first
class battleships nowadays. the United
States will have good bargain, and be
able To cover a total coast line without
any material increase In her vessels.
The canal will double the sea efficiency
of our fleet for half the sum of money
that would otherwise be necessary TO
maintain communication between the
Pacific and Atlantic coasts. At the same
time the merchant marine of the United
States Will some day he developed and

not one single sign of distress due TO

There are no unemployed hanging about

There are no dirty houses with dirty or

A monument was erected in 1s4I in
Boston to Miantonomah, a noted Nara

helped the English against the Peauots
