BY MRS. CLARA DRISCOLL SEWER
In my many travels around and about
the globe, through countries living in
the glamour of the past, or puIsatine
with the clergy and industry Of today.
J have been impressed with the fact
that in the revelation Of human pro-
gress, the waterways of the world
have an inde!ible part. They de-
pet the various phases of the emo
tlons of mankind, and are resonant
OF the romance of eternity. Christians
attach to the River Jordan a certain
sanity, because its waters laved the
sacred brow of our Saviour. and washed
away the sins Of the world. Of far
greater antiquity in legendary lore. the
River Ganges, ripping from the icy
fstnesses of the herculean Himalayas,
and meandering sluggishly across the
torrid plains Of Hindustan, is accredit-
ed by Hindu historians, from Sanscrit
down to the present day of their de-
graduation. as the most beneficent bless
ing Of their m~ultitudinous Gods. The
flow of the Ganges means feast or
famine; its waters are deified: to have
bathed in them means transportation

leave of the breast of the anointed. To
no Known quantity is the evolution Of
the several civilizations so inseparablv
linked, as to the marvellous and mystic
Nile. Surely, will the sands of the des-
ert grow cold, and time pause in its in
terminable flight, when the mulificence
OF that turbid thoroughfare of the Pha-
rao's shall no longer provide mamma for
the multitudes and substance for retro
spcctive reflections.
The very life and being of every polit-
zeal vision of the worlds surface de
ponds upon its waterways. The incalcul-
able and unfathomed 'Jealth Of that lit
tie known treasure louise of the uni
verse, the mountain and the forests Of

al asset. The same may be said of the
