SCRIPTURE.
Proverbs 6:I.I0.

Ny son. attend unto my wisdom, and
bow chine ear to my understanding:
That thou mayest regard discresslon,
an3 that thy lips may keep knowledge.
For the lips Of a strange woman drop
as an hoBeycomb, and her mouth is
smoother than oil;
But her end is bitter as wormwood,
sharp as two-edged sword
Her feet so down to death; her steps
take hold on hell
Lest thou shouldest ponder the path
Of life. her ways are movable, that
thou canst not know them.
Hear me now therefore, 0 ye child
rem. and depart not from the words Of
ny mouth.
Remove thy way far from her. and
come uot nigh the door of her house.
Lest thou give thy honour unto 9th
ers. and thy years unto the cruel.
Lest strangers be filed with thy
sRealta; and thy labours be in the
house OF a stranger.

KAISER UNDERSTOOD MOVE.
Clever" He Said, as Russian Pris.
oners We're Marched Past.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
BERLIN. January 1S.-"Roland Won
Berlin" brings the following anecdote
concerning the emperor and q general
designated as "B":
During his recent trip to the eastern
theater of war the emperor paid a
visit to the general in question. and
showed the keenest interest in and
most intimate knowledge Of what the
army corps commanded by "B" had
done. The corps in question was one
of the very best, said the emperor to
the general in the presence of the STAFF
officers, and he hoped that it would
continue it's fine work.
The conversation had taken place in
the building in which the headquarters
of the general were located. After
shaking hands with the officers the
emperor left, accompanied by Gen. "B''
and some of his aids.
When the party reached the door it
was found that several thousand Rus
sian prisoners were being marched
past. For a moment the emperor
watched the procession, then, with a
broad smile on his face, turned to Gen.
"B" with the words:
II will, say. general. that this is
cleverly done"
The smiles of the emperor grew
wider yet when the embarrassed Gen.
"B' tried to explain that it all was an
accident.

the recent high waters and storms. To

ton H B. Bowerman, chief consulting
engineer. bureau of lighthouses. and
R. L. Hankerson, superintendent of the
fifth lighthouse district, have gone to
Cedar Point. The trip from Baltimore
was made aboard the lighthouse serv-
ice steamer Maple. If defects are found
repairs will be ordered at once.
Promotions and changes among OFF,
GERS of the lighthouse service steamers
in this district have recently been
made, as follows:

Dixie Control System.

The Sui river, which frequently over
flows it's banks and mandates the ad-
joining country, and which empties into
Hungtse lake, is to be controlled by
parallel dikes carried across the north
ern margin Of Huai lake and discharged
into Paoying lake. where its waters will
mingle with the waters Of the Huai river
and flow into the Yangtse.
The bed of Hungtse lake is to be pro-
vided with an extensive network of
canals and laterals, the outlet of which
would be provided with control works
SO that the channel would serve for
drainage when left open, and by closing
them the canals could be filled from
Huai river and used for irrigation by
means Of moderate lifts, varying from
one foot to six or seven feet. according
to their distance from the source OF sup
ply. This system would also be available
for navigation and would connect with the
Grand canal, and thus make available
the waters Of Hungtse lake for naviga-
ton in the canal and for irrigation east
Of 1t when needed.
THE enlarged channel capacity to be
provided between Kaoyu lake and the
Yangtse river would. in dry weather,
empty that lake. and, unless protected.
SO deplete the water of the Grand
canal, which also communicates with
that lake. as to destroy navigation and
deprive the land east of it of irriga-
tion water. To prevent this and to i'm
prove navigation, it is proposed to
build lift lock in the lower Grand
canal, which will prevent waste of wa
ter in times of scarcity. insure a stable
irrigation supply to the eastward and
greatly improve the navigation of the
Grand canal, which is now seriously
interrupted at low water periods. 1t
is also proposed to build a lift lock on
the Grand canal above Using Kiang Pu,
to eliminate the great curves and
sluices that have been introduced in
the channel to obstruct the escape of
waters and make navigation possible.

No Provision Is Made.

1.-THE natural conditions Of torrental
storms are greatly aggravated by the
construction Of the Grand canal from the
Yangste river to the Yellow river
crossing the basin of the Huai river
without making adequate provision for
taking care of the drainage of that basin.
A similar condition in the basins of the
vi and Shu rivers is aggravated by
the construction across the drainage OF
the country of the Yen canal from the
Grand canal to the coast at Haichow
without adequate provisions for drain
age;
set with a most embarrassing lack Of in
formation concerning the problem under
investigation. consisting as it did es-
sentially of flood control. No informa-
tion whatever existed concerning the
discharge of the streams in question and
the board was able to obtain very little
data regarding even the rainfall of the
basin. Parties were at once assigned to
the measurement of the streams and of
the investigation no very conclusive
data could be obtained. The Chinese
government was urged to continue these
observations after the departure Of the
board. and 1t is earnestly hoped this will
be done.
1.-The board recommends that the Huai
river be diverted at the point where
it enters Hungtse lake and carried
will run to Kaoyu lake and this will
discharge through a channel to be
greatly enlarged into the Yangtse river

1t is to laugh when fortune smiles.
When a man falls he never seems to
hit the bottom.
Kisses are the coupons clipped from
the bonds of love.
The chap who is buried in oblivion is
also q dead one.
He is an exceptional man who knows
more than he thinks he knows.
But you can never measure a mans
achievements by his own tongue.
