scHuYLER's TOY CANAL.
Il Made the Principle Of Locks Clear
to the Dutchnen,

Il Made the Principle Of Locks Clear
to the Dutchmen.
1t is not known who first conceived
the magnificent idea Of connecting by
a canal Lake Erie with the Atlantic
ocean. Experiments to improve the
navigation of the Mohawk by means
of small canals and locks had been
tried years before De Witt Clinton
built the Erie canal. The purpose,
which was to connect Lake Ontario
through the Mohawk with the Hudson.
met with formidable obstacle at Lit
tie falls, where the river descended
for a mile or two over a series Of
rapids.
General Philip Schuyler of Revolu-
tionary fame had planned series of
locks to overcome this descent of the
river. Knowing that the success Of
the project would depend upon the IA
vor with which the Dutch farmers,
settled near the river, received it. he
visited them. Calling a meeting at n
tavern, he unfolded his plan. The old
Dutchmen loved and honored Schuyler,
for he was the head Of an old Dutch
family. They were delighted with
the prospect of the commerce Of the
state sailing past their farms, but they
could not comprehend how boats could
ascend Little falls.
The general by means Of drawings
explained the principle Of locks. It
was in vain. The stolid Dutchmen
shook their heads, saying that they did
not believe word of it. Water would
not run uphill. and it was useless for
the general to endeavor to make them
believe that it would.
The general went to bed mortified
at his failure. Turning over the thing
in his mind, a happy thought suggest
ed itself. He arose. lighted candle,
took knife and few shingles and
went into the tavern yard. Digging a
miniature canal of two different levels,
he connected them by a lock of shin
ges Then he summoned the Dutch
men. who came grumbling at being
aroused from their slumbers. Pouring
water from pail into the little canal,
he locked chip through from the low
err to the upper level.
we'll. general, dot beats eferythingr'
exclaimed the astonished Dutchmen.

 'The principal breeding places of the common hOusef1y are to be found in garbage cans and manure piles.
 If garbage cans and manure piles were frequently renovated there re- mains no favorable places for flies to propagate their species, and they nec- essarily become so scarce that fly swatters soon find themselves out of job
 The following skit from the pen ot the distinguished sanitarian, Dr. Charles E. Page of Boston, Mass is clipped from recent issue of the New York Herald:
 ''Fliess are our fellow -sanitarians. Oceans or filth are by them consumed and transformed into the tissues Uf their healthy bodies in the course of the fly season. When you kill one fly early in the season you kill a swarm of the busy little scaVengers that would have been helping us te clean up. Whenever we make everything and every corner place clean we have said goodbye to flies; no longer needed, and with nothing to subsist on they are doomed.
 "The clean up at Panama, in New Orleans and in Cuba brought about, as a matter of course, improvement in health of residents at those points. But
