In 1894 tho Now Panama Canal com pany was formed, which acquired all tho rights and title of tho old com pany upon tho Isthmus, since which llmo thero has been a constant effort on Its behalf to sell their property to tho United States government. This effort wan strongly and persistently opposed by two elements ono an American company who sought to havo adopted a route for the Nicaragua canal, whllo a second element, popu larly supposed to roprcsont tho trans continental railroad Interests of Ameri ca sought to prevent the construction of any canal whatever, Realizing the popularity of tho canal Idea, this rail road oloment, It has been charged, divided their strength among tho parti sana of tho Panama and Nlcaiagua rights In order that neither could win out, and by so doing they did Ruccecd In dolaying a decision In fa vor of any routo until 1903, and even aftor tlls government concluded a treaty with tho government or Colom bia, by which that government was to bo paid 110,000,000 for tho canal pri vileges, which treaty was duly rati fied by the United Sratcs senate, It was, as It Is oponly charged In Wash tho United States will within a fow yonrs havo more than ono million of men who will havo for practical purK)se on the lino of battle nearly nil tho requirements for tho most ef ficient soldiers In tho world That Is, wo proposo to educato our young men and boys over in years of age to bo an army or oxport rlflo shots, To those who nro accustomed to the use of firearms wo bollovo ono thing Is evlilont boyound nil question, and It Is that a high dogreo of skill In rllle and revolvor shooting and tho confidence which a knowledge of this skill glvos will mnko a timid man man bravo and a bravo mnn courage ous."

How ever, It proved such a help to me thai I soon purchased another bottle and kept on until I was entirely well. " Madame Isabella Ellen Bavcas. Summer colda require prompt treat ment. They are always grave, and sometimes dangerous. The prompt ness and surety with which Peruna acts In these cases has saved many lives, A. large dose of Peruna should be taken at the first appearance of a cold In summer, followed by small and oft repeated doses. Thero is no other rem edy that modlcal science can furnish, so rellabloandqaioklnits action as Pernna.

A commission hus been appointed by this government to carry through tho work of constructing the cnnal, which It Is supposed will require about 8 years' work and $200 000,000 to com plete. Too length of tlio Panama Canal Is 47 mllos. Including about three mllos dredged In tho Pacific to deep water.
