THE ART OF LIVING.

To one sweet soul who lived among us too short al
space the panorama Of life and its living was spread IN
fine and true light. He saw, through much pain and
many struggles the things that endure beyond those OF
this world In that brief Greed Of living which has
come to us from Robt Louis Stevenson set the guide
posts to finer conception of life and its duties than is
contained in many bulky book
To some it is part of what they know and love; to
others it is unknown.
What is it to you?
"To be honest, to be kind To little and to
spend little less. To make upon the whole, family
happier for his presence To renOunce when that shall
be necessary and not to be embttered To keep few

same grim condition to keep friends with himself Here
is task for all that man has OF forttude and decacy
Here is material for year of writing and lifetime

Of happiness and helpfulness.
The art Of living is of all human subjects with which
we have to deal the broadest and most beautiful II is
well for men and women to dip into it deeply their
mental equipment and the stature of their souls will
allow.
1t is an art too much neglected in these hurried days.
The tendency toward material gain, the craving for
position and personal place the increasing appetites for
fame and fashion, all more or less hostile to It's
development and growth.
Deserving of the highest and most prominent place in

secondary to those far inferior
To "get along" in the world seems the shbboleth OF

KIEI. CANAL OF GREAT MILL
TARY IMPORTANCE TO KAISER

A German possession OF the greatest
military Importance is the Kiel canal,
or. as il was officially named, the Kai-
ser Wilhelm canal, which cuts through
the Sehleswig- Holsteiu peninsula, con
Meeting the North and Baltic seas. This
canal gives the German fleets Of the
two seas direct and rapid connection
II saves the long and dangerous pass
age around Denmark through the Ska
ger Rak, the Kattegat and the Sound.
So long as Germany can hold the Kiel
canal. its navy Is not likely to be rent
or kept apart and provisioning of eth
er the Baltic OF the North sea cannot
be interrupted.
Neither can the kaiser's ships be bot
tied up in the Baltic sea, for with the
English fleet entering through the Dan
ish passage the Germans could hurry
through the canal and ravage the Eng
lish coast. For the English to attempt
to take only a part of their fleet
through the Danish passage would be
10 give the strong German Baltic fleet
decided advantage. Thus the canal
serves as a double protection.
The canal is 62 miles long, extend
ing from the mouth of the river Elbe
to Kiel bay. Its width of 2l7 feet on
the surface and s6 feet at the bottom
with a depth of so feet permits the
passage of the largest warships of the
German navy. Being a sea level canal
ships can pass through it at full speed
At one end of the canal is Riel, 8
great Baltic naval station, and at ths
other end is Wilhelmshaven, the ehie1
naval station of the North sea. Along
both sides are coaling stations and for
tifieations.
The Kaiser Wilhelm canal was off
cially opened in; June, 1895, with thu
greatest demonstration of the world
warships ever witnessed up to tn,
time. It was considered one of tn
great engineering feats of the nine
teenth century and tribute to tn
science and energy of the German pee
pie 1t solved a military and CONNER
cial problem which had bothered tn
minds of men for centuries. Author
ties looked upon its construction an
operation as a practical announcement
