CANAL BOATS FOR PLEASURE.
One Way of Passing the Days and
Evenings of Vacation.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

FIoiH tIeSeldn0 Ptain Dealer.
Most tourists in Holland take at least
one trip on a canal boat 1t is delight
full to sail through the level fields. paus-
ing at the clean towns and villages,
watching the farm life between times,
and listening to the birds and drinking
untold quantities OF fresh air. The Dutch
canal boat that carries passengers is
usually little steam craft. 1t estab-
fishes no speed records, but il moves
with considerable energy 1t aims to
get from somewhere to somewhere else
in a certain specified time. 1t is usually
two or three hours late, but that is a
small matter. 1t is really trying to work
on schedule.
An American couple has recently taken
different kind of canal trip as a vaca-
ton, and have written Of their expert
ences in a Boston newspaper. They went
from Troy to Buffalo In a horse-propelled
boat of ancient type, and they took days
and days. At the end they knew for GER
tain that they had discovered the ideal
vacation.
They rested-they and their horses-at
night, and in the early morning, with
all the green world fresh in dew and
birds singing their blithest, they started
on their infinite quest of nowhere. Chill

farmers gigs were vehicles of rapid
people in pursuit Of business, which shot
by them in pillars of smoke: and there
were automobiles, with people in pursuit
OF pleasure. which whizzed past in clouds
of odor. They pitied the people on the
trains: but they pitied most the people
in the automobiles, who were shooting
like insensate rockets through the beauty
of the world and seeing ii only in a
blur.
At noon there was a pause-a delicious
and smoke. Then, through the heat of
the day. If there was any heat. the
drowsy swish-swish of the shallow water
induced delightful somnolence. Next. the
afternoons time of activity, with the
rustic world completing it's days good

trying, perhaps, to catch elusive tad
poles.
Sunset came, and evening, with the
spicy aroma of wood smoke from old
stoves where supper was frying. Pic
turesque lovers sauntered self-consciously
by. The birds sang their farewell. as
CHEEKY and as confident as their morning
greeting. The long cleaning fell. and
the GOODNESS of another night was new
delight. Horses were stabbed. and there
was little talk as the stars peeped forth
in the palpable depths of the sky
Then there was sleep. in coy, we'll
aired cabins, and dreams of the happy
days that were gone and the happy days
to come. At last-Buffalo When the
smoke of the city first appeared as
smear on the horizon there was knowl-
edge that the most delightful OF trips

could be more completely and sanely
restful than a canal voyage OF discov-

Children's Reading.

4 rom fne
In limiting child's reading TO what
we ourselves hold to be, or what some
body else holds to be, wholesome
literature. we ought to remember that
in the matter of reading-whatever may
be true of anything else in the wide
world-a child. no more than grown
man. gets any benefit from that which
he does not enjoy. Make him learn his
lessons by all means. he they palatable
or unpalatable; they are another pair

while among his books, then go warily.

Home Cure for Consumption.
From the Chicago Journal

One of the most important discoveries
of the last few years is that few cases
of tuberculosis need a climate cure. The
dry air, brilliant sunshine and high alti-
tudes of the Rocky mountain region will
effect more rapid Improvement than can
be hoped for elsewhere, and will save
some cases that progress to fatal end
ing in harsher climates But nearly every
tubercular patient who can be cured AZ
all can be cured near his home
So long as a special climate was con-
sidered essential in combating this dis
ease. recovery from the white plague was
luxury reserved for the well-to-do. The
home cure puts restored health within
the reach of millions who could not AFFORD
a long journey.

why bring down the profits? Killing
them of is good management
By Pop

While looking over your stock dom
forget that your result will be greater
II you begin to Gull your growing
stock. The delay in doing this has
caused many troubles among chicken
men, overcrowding being the principal
cause OF lack of vitality in growing
chicks. AS has been said many times
In this column. il is better to have a
good healthy stock, small in number,
than a large stock lacking in vigor.
The weddings will not produce their
share of eggs, neither will they give
forth good eggs for Matching next
spring. A good reputation cannot be
gained by selling eggs that will not
hatch strong chicks.
Too much salt given chickens will
lnJure them. 1t sometimes causes their
death. Better not feed 1t at all, as
chickens will get along without il.
than to overfeed 1t. Pepper too. should
be avoided in summer time unless it
is given to aid chilled birds, or birds
with colds.

Gen. Merritt went so far as to appoint
a commission TO meet similar body

arrive at mutual understanding OF
the intent. purposes. aims and desires or
the Filipino people and of the people OF
the United States" Six sessions were
held. the last January -. 1899 six days
before the outbreak Of open hostilities.
Members Of the conference sent by
Aguinaldo were either unable or unwiil-

OF the last session they were again as
Surcd by the Americans that no form OF
hostility would be begun by them

to Massacre All Whites.


ulated district of Manila. They set fire
10 the houses of their own people and
fired on the American sentries. They
expected the local militia to assist them.
and the plan was to massacre all the
whites, and some of the most fanatic
wanted TO treat the thousands of mes
tizes (half-caste Filipino-Spaniards) in
the same way An exceedingly vigorous
counter attack directed by Provost Mar
shall Gen. Hughes resulted in the speedy
retreat of the force, with whom the
militia in the city failed to cooperate at
that time.
In the meantime President Mckinley
had sent out the Schurmann commission
in an attempt to find out just what the
situation was The commission reached
Manila March and found a very bad
state of affairs. The members them
selves were guarded constantly. Incen-
diary fires occurred daily. The streets
were almost deserted. and filth and dis
case reigned more absolute than ever be-
Tore. Half of the native population had
taken TO the woods long ago, and those
who remained behind did 80 behind
closed windows and barred doors. Nobody
knew who was who. The few Filipinos
who dared espouse the American cause
were in hourly fear OF assassination.
With their assistance the commission
drew up and issued the proclamation of
explanation and amity of April which
is supposed to have had considerable to
do with the ultimate establishment of
peace. This point has always been dis
puted. however. Most military men who
were in the islands at that time contend
that the early activities of both the
Schurmann and Taft commissions, in
stead of doing great good, operated to
prevent the army from speedily termi-
mating the insurrectiop.
