The Suez canal is usually considered the most Important example of ship canals, though the number of vessels passing through it annually does not equal that passing through the canals connecting Lake Superior with the chain of great lakes at the south. In length, however, it exceeds any of the other great ship canals, its total length being 90 miles, of which about two-thirds Is through shallow lakes, says Harper's Weekly. The canal connecting the Bay of Cronstadt with St. Petersburg is a work of great strategic and commer cial Importance to Russia. _ The canal and sailing course in the bay are about 1C miles long, the canal proper being about six miles and the bay channel about 10 miles, and they to gether extend from Cronstadt, on the Gulf of Poland, to St. Petersburg. The next of the great ship canals connecting bodies of salt water in the order of date of construction Is the Corinth canal, which connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Gulf of Aeglna. The canal reduces the distance from Adriatic porta about 175 miles, and from Mediterranean ports about 100 miles. Its length is about four miles. This Is Miraculous. Manhattan, Kaunas, March 14.— One of the strangest cases that has ever been heard of in Riley county is that of the three year old daughter of Mr. Jonas Brubaker of this place. Sometime ago the little girl took whooping cough, which was followed by pneumonia JYhen the pneumonia left her, she was taken down with ma laria fever with At times symptoms of Spinal Meningitis^ The family doctor brought her safely through these troubles, but after the fever Bright’s Disease set in, and the doctors gave her up. Her father telle the rest of the Btoiy: “We began to give her Dodd’s Kid- ney Pills and aft r she had taken about three and a half boxes, she was entire ly cured. Now she is well as any child, rum ing and playing as if nothing had •ver leen the matter. The doctors •aid she was beyond the reach of medi cine. Dodd's Kidney Pills certainly saved our little girl's life, when she was so far into the chronic stage of Bright's Disease that we thought noth ing could save her.” Old Marriage Certificates. Theorists are to be found ail over the world who advocate that no man or woman shall be gllowed to marry who has not a certificate of freedom from transmissible disease. Not even the most extreme, however, would go so far as a Prussian official In the town of Rappin, one of whose duties Is to Inspect butchers' meat and another to place the official seal on marriage certificates. The Berlin Loknlanzeiger states that on one occasion he used the wrong stamp and Instead of sealing the nuptial contract he certified that the happy pair were free from trichino sis. The absurd mistake was not dis covered until some days had elapsed, with the result thnt the high court of Berlin has bad to be set in motion to rectify the error. The Enterprising Drummer.

Bob Fitzsimmons gave an unexpect ed demonstration of bls physical might the other day in a downtown sporting goods bouse. Th» big fighter drops into this establishment frequently and edi fies the clerks and whatever customers may be about by bls skill at drumming the punching bag. He rarely fails to perform bls old trick of knocking the bag lose from Its bearings, aud on thia occasion, after a bard blow had torn the bag loose from the string that held It, one of the officers of the concern who was loklng on and who knows Fitz well, remarked to the pugilist: "Ob, I don't think much of that stunt, Fitz; that piece of rope was an old one and It wouldn't take much of a blow to break It. It took you some time to get that bag loose, and my opinion Is you are getting to be a back number. If you couldn’t land on Cor bett any harder than that he’d trim you in jig time.” Fitz didn't say anything in regard to the guying, but the mention of Gor bett's name made illa face take on a more determined expression. “Then,” said the business man In telling of the Incident, "I got a brand- new piece of stout sash cord, nearly thick enough to lift a horse and rigged up the punching bag with this cord. ‘Now,’ I said to Fitz, ‘there Is some thing you could not knock loose Ln a hundred years.' Fitz lammed away at the bag viciously for a while, but didn’t knock It loose. I stood there guying him some more, telling him how he'd gone back and all that, and then I walked away about twenty feet. “I turned around to see how Fitz was getting along, and as I did so I saw his arm shoot through the air so fast It was only a blur In the air, and the next thing I knew the bag was shooting through space like a bullet “It was coming straight for me, too, and at such speed that I didn’t have time to dodge It. It cleared an Inter vening show case, and the next instant I was wondering whether I was In the ring or In the hospital. The flying ball caught me squarely over the eye, and I surely thought I would have to take the count. The blow dazed me for a moment and nearly put me out. “I guess I was the one that was l>e- lng guyed all the time, but In any event between the kick of a mule and a man who can drive a punching bag twenty feet through the air and hard enough to almost knock you down, the mule for mine. I don’t think Fitz Is quite a candidate yet for the home for superannuated old men.”—New York Sun. Trees in China. Tree planting In Northern China is being strenuously enjoined by the au thorities, not only ns a productive In dustry for the people, but alike as a means of strengthening the river em bankments against floodB and of check ing drought. Of lute years trees have been cut down wholesale for agricul tural purposes, while the pen Hants do not take the trouble to plant fresh ones, because the soli Is so loose that they must dig down very deep for a satisfactory foothold. So vast tracts of fertile land are left barren, while In the northern provinces especially the Influx of sand carried by high winds from the Mongolian desert threatens to All up the unoccupied ground. So In the Important Province of Chill, which contains the capital, Peking. Is a government proclamation notify ing the “eight directions for tree plan tation”—most minute instructions as to the kind of trees required, the depth they should be planted and the fertilizers to be used—and the “ten benefits to be derived from the same,” such, among others, as the sale of tim ber and fruit, the beneficial influence of trees In attracting rain, preserving the Just equilibrium of wind Influences, and purifying the atmosphere, while "travelers and families will find shade and rest under the branches."—a poetic truth for conclusion.—Golden Penny.

V -------------------------- «------------ W----- —IT Behiki - Walker Business Ci ¡ el » ‘ Oregon 4 Lady Jeune, in writing on dress al lowances for girls, notes the fact that one reason why upper-class English women do uot look smarter than they do Is that they will buy too many clothes. They commit the mistake of buying much that is unnecessary and that they never wear, because they see It and it Is cheap. “All Englishwomen,” she goes on, "have too many clothes—In fact, too much of everything—and the conse- queuce Is that their things are old- fashioned and unwearable long before they are worn out. French women have very few gowns, they have just what they want and wear them out An Englishwoman loves her old clothes and wears them a little, then puts them away, and when she finds they are old-fashioned she has them done up and remodeled, believing that she Is practicing great economy, whereas It would be far better and cheaper to give them away. She clings to her old gowns, Jackets, hats, boots and shoe« with a sort of romantic tenacity.” The same may be said of many American girls and women, and It of fers one good reason for not buying the very best materials la everything, as one Is often recommended to do. There are many trifling accessories of dress which are nice only so long as they are fresh and hit the fancy of the hour. Then why sink much money In them! The same Is true of the tal- lored suit. “It Is commonly supposed that a good tailor gown Is a thing that a woman of limited means can safely Invest her money In, with confidence that she will get every dollar's worth of wear out of it,” says an authority. “Yet how many women find them selves with a $75 suit on their bands which Is demode, which they cannot afford to give or throw away, and upon which they have to lay out often a considerable sum to make It wear able. Almost any woman would say under these circumstances the per son In question would have fared bet ter to have laid out only $40 or $50 ou her suit originally. When she had 'shabbied' it. or It bad got out of style, she could then have bought herself a new one with a clear conscience aud at hardly any extra expense, consider ing what she would have to pay to get the old suit renovated. Supposing the woman in question has only one tailored suit, and has to wear It four years; she would certainly cut a smart er appearance on two suits at half the price. This seems to be one of tbe Instances where, while it Is never pru dent to buy the cheapest, it Is certain ly not wisdom to buy the highest priced. A good part of the accumula tions of clothes from which women suffer Is due to buying too expensive things, as well as too many of them.” Aj/gf-S If your blood is thin and im pure, you are miserable all the time.
