A Qlflsntic Undertaking-Survey ol Work to be Done on Panan.s Canal. Dr. C. A. Stephens, who bas been well known for a generation as a writer of stories of adventure for boys, bas reoently visited Panama, where ho has had excellent oppor tunities tor observing tho great pro ject the nation hns undertaken the* ?J. Americans speak glibly of tho pos sibility of a tide-level canal at Pan ama. Of this Dr. Stephens says .* "It is not an easy matter to estimate the- exact, amount of earth which would have to be removed to get a clear channel across thc Isthmus, thirty-five feet below low tido at Colon and at LaBoca, on the Bay of Panama. But computing it at the various levels, step by St?p up to thc Culebra, through this vast cut ami beyond, deducting what tho French appear to have done, wo obtain 440, 000,000 cubic yards as a very con servative estimate of what remains to be removed in order to have an open ditch from ocean to ocean, 150 feet wido at tho bottom, with 3f> feet of standing water in it. ^As to the length of time required, we have to guide us only what the new French company have done. It ie agreed on all hands, however, that they have worked with a fair degree of dili gence and with honesty. "During their most successful year, 1897, tito com puny com ployed 3,(500 mon and removed) mainly in the Cule bra cut, 900,000 cubic metres, childly earth. This was by far tho best ever done by t|ic French. Adding 40 per cent to this 900,000 metres, lor better American methods and better ma chines, and assuming that thc United States will employ '20,000 laborers in place of 3,000, wc find that to remove thu 311,000,000 cubic metres forty-six years and nine days will bo required, or until 1061. By employing 30,000 laborers tho work might bc ?lone in about thirty-one years. More than 30,000 men could not be advantage ously worked thero. At liest, there fore, allowing nothing for contin gencies or accidents, a tidewater canal at Panania could not he oom* pleted before 1930-so that few of thc present generation would seo it. IMMKNSK COST Ol-" CANAL. "As to thc cost of a tidewater canal at Panama, reckoning laborers1 wage? at only a dollar a day, and thc salaries of engineers, foremen, etc., at equally reasonable rates ; adding present cost, figures for machinery, tools, explosives, transportation, hos pital equipment and maintenance, with thc thousand other minor ex penses, and to this thc intereso on the money as used for ?liirty years, at 3 per cent, I am unable to find tlic amount called for to construct a tidewater canal at less than 1*670, 000,000, or adding the price of thc canal from the French company, *G 10,000,000." MAGNITUDE OP THE PROJECT. Dr. Stephens in other ways makes more distinct than do thc formal re ports the size of thc project to which we are already committed. The Culebra out be describes as thc great est thing of its kind ever undertaken by man. When complete it will be three-fifths of a mile wide at thc top, falling off lo a width of lf)U feet at the bottom, into which the great lake made by the dam al I ?ohio will How back, filling it to a depth of 85 feet. From the lop of the Culebra on the north side of thc cut thc depths will be nearly or quite 400 feet. These figures, he says, convoy little idea of thc tremendous quantity of earth and rock which must be re moved. It is not until one descends into this vast trench and marks how tiny the locomotives and great exca vators look when seen in thc prodi gious depth and breadth of the exca vation that a conception of the her culean labor dawns on thc mind. It is like Niagara, and must be contem plated for awhile. At first sight it might bc thought that a thousand men, operating 90 or 100 of these steam excavators, would dig it out in a year; but by the limo thc visitor has walked and climbed about thc out for an hour or two bc can readily believe that the task may occupy 5,000 men, with machines, for ten yoars. The temperature in the out ho de scribes as intense. Thc lofty, bare side of thc excavation accumulate heat like thc walls of an oven. Thc The Good Old Summer Time. In the good old summer time, when bicycles throng thu thoroughfares, and farm animals and roadsters aro all kept, busy, accidents to man and beast aro ot frequent occurrence. Elliott's Emulsified Oil Liniment is tho most serviceable accident and emergency liniment in use. It rcliovcs quickly and heals Speedily cuts, contusions, bruises, sprains, etc. You get one-half pint for 25o.? and you got your money back if not satisfied.

"It is no place," says Dr. Stephens, "for a white man's unprotected head. A cork helmet, or a green umbrella, or both, arc necessary to his safety. It makes mc shudder to think ol* thc human suffering implied by ten years of labor here on Um part of 5,000 men. But only al thc price of nil this toil can stately vessels steam through thc Culebra, Tho French Canal company has removed much earth herc, but vastly more remains to be taken out. With the lights strung along thc cutting, tho men of thc night shift would have by far thc easier day's work, for thon tho terrible sun rays would bo absent, and thc cooler night wind would bo blowing through thc trench. Indeed, if but one shift of men wore employed, he thinks it would be lid ster, after the light plant was in A Great Ruler. One of tho greatest of rulers is tho liver. It governs tho human organism.

Hie account of the sanitary prob lem is even more impressive : "Tho French exercised hule or no sanitary coull ol over their canal laborers. They built little villages of wood and galvauixed non for the men to live in, but in most cases provided neither water nor drains, lt they fell ill in en inp and did uot die at once, they were transported after a day or two to tho hospitals at Colou or Panama. That was about as far aa the French medical care or control extended from 1880 onward. As a result they lost a great number of employees some say 00,000. The- construction gangs were often crippled and inef fective. Excavators, locomotives and other machines stood idle for weeks, beonuso the men or the fore men were ill or dead. The losses ol time and money from this course were euorinous. Work was stopped 'tom time to time, and often did not begin again for a month, pay being drawn all the time for tho entire gang! The direct loss from thu cause alone is believed to havo ex ceeded seventy million francs? The indirect loss from delay aud demorali sation cnn never bo determined. "Labor unions in tho United States have already debated tin regulation of wages and working hours at Panama, aud have au nounced an intention to organize tin laborers there to this end. - Hut nt sensible person can spend an hour k the heat of the Culebra out withou coming to the conclusion that this ii not a white man's job. Tho Frond Canal Company is now paying iti laborers $1.08 a (iftvi Colombia sil vor worth about 41 cents in Uuitet States currency." Dr. Stephens says that it is at error to speak of any locality as ii itself "unhealthful." If disease i present it has btwn brought there 1?; the men or animals which have bc come infected elsewhere. No looalit; breeds new disease. Ile wants tin government to establish a school o tropical diseases at Colon. Th' greatest variety of clinical materia would lie abundant. Canal laborer arriving from various points in iii tropics will afford excellent malerii for study, with the added advantage of observing tho courso of a discus in a tropical climate. Dr. Stephens also favors a camp c detention and observation for itieou ing laborers. In no other way ca disease be prevented from gainin accessio the labor camps along th lino of tho canal. Nor when foi warded from tho cum;) of observi lion to labor camps should the e> eoutive guardianship over the lt borers cease or Ito relaxed for a nu ment.

(loop WOKD8 KOit CIIAORKS ttl VU This observer's* account of tl Cb agres river is interesting. Tl whole world bas heard of tho Ch ores river, but heard no good of i indeed, thc English, French at Spanish languages have been ra sacked for terms with wbichto sti; matizo it. Il is thc "lorrcntia Chagres, the "deadly" Ch agres, tl "miasmatic" Chagres, tho "unco trollable, ungovernable" Chagres, tl "accursed" Chagres, "that inicrn river." It has even had a fever lethal character named after it. "When thc French Canal offioif wished to find a scapegoat," says 1 Stephens, "for their malfeasance spending, or stealing, (20,000,OC and not digging a canal with it, tin selected the Chagres river and ; tributed everything bad to that, washed back all the earth which th dug out; it rendered a tide wat cantil impossible ; it brought malat and death to their laborers ; in (ii they would have constructed t Panama canal by 1892 but for th awful Chagres river ! "I really expected to sec a moi monster of a river there. I w looking for something like tho Stv as described by the classic poets. would not have surprised mc grcal to sec a stream of miasmatic, gre slime, haunted by Chagres fev ghosts. Instead, what one sees is pretty little river of azure wat' purling gently over Handy bars-qui an ideal stream, with lovely gravi and pools beneath green banks, t bare sight of which makes one thi of bis tish hook and line. "l?ut this was tho dry season. I began making careful inquiries as tho wet season. Once, sevente years ago, it did rise pretty high. . a place where the channel is mu compressed, at Las Cascades, it rc between thirty and forty feet tl year for a few hours. I found tl sit home-among its noighbrs, so speak-tho Chagres bore a go enough reputation as rivers go. the matter of Hoods thc Chagres no worse than thc Big Sandy, t French Broad, or the Androscog' in our own country. But for t Chagres an inter-oceanie canal Panama during the next quarter o century would be a physical impon bility. A tide-water canal at Panai is im possible j except at such cost to bc practically useless to the Ame can people. It is just here that t Chagres river comes in. Hy bili ing a dam across it and across t canal at Bohio, near sea lovel, on t Atlantic side, an elevated island In may bo formed across tho high portion of thc Isthmus extend! through the Culebra cut. Hy usi the Chalares to form this lake, UK than four-fifths of tho excavati necessary for a tide water canal ni bo avoided. Were it not for 1 Chagres river this lake could not formed. Thc volume of water wh Hows is just about sufficient to tho lake and supply water for 1 locks. If it were much largor would ^ivc trouble ; if less, it woi be insufficient. Thc ship canal, like that nt Panai requires a vast amount of water feeding tho locks. Nothing 1 than a river of considerable size \ suffice for the water supply. T much anathematized Chagres ri is, therefore, tho right'bing in I right place. It is very fortunate us that it is there."-Now Yi livening Sun. CASTOR li0 For Infants and Children.

Ono of thc most interesting lec tures 1 over hoard was "Acres ot Dia mouds,9* by Mr. Cromwell. Th? story runs thus : On the shore of tho river I min-, in Persia, thero lived a fs:iner named Al Hafed, who owuod large orchards and greon fields aud gardens and was a wealthy aud contented man, with a beautiful wife and lovely children. A Buddhist priest visited him, and during thoir conversation around the fireside told lum of the wonderful value of diamonds ; that une Au l uce na vrmr thumb would .n -? . -j- ->_ -_ purchase a dozen farms like his ; a handful of diamonds would buy a whole county aud a mine of dia monks would secure kingdoms. Al Haled thought of this all night, and could uot idecp ; next morning going to the priest ho asked him where the diamonds might bo found. He re plied, "If you lind a river that runs over white sand, between high moun tains you will always find diamonds iu tlie tu leam." He sold his /arm, collected all his money aud left his family in search of diamonds. When ho had searched through all the mountains in thai country, and in Palestine and in Europe, his last ocnt was gone, and in rags and pov erty and wretched m. as he stood at the shore of liarcelonu, in Spain, poor and starving and uftlioted, with out having accomplished his object in life, hu thron/ himself iu tho in coining tide and was drowned. The man who bought tho farm, in water ing his slock one day in tho shallow water, noticed a curious ll ash of light in thc white sands of the stream, and, securing it, found a beautiful, bright pebble, that reflected tho rays of the light, und gave off every color of the rainbow, but having never scon a diamond he did not realize its value, so put it away on thc mantel, simply as a curiosity. Not long after thc same old priest visited tho farm and thc moment he opened the door, noticed the reflected light, and rush ing to thc mantel, declared, "This is j a diamond ; has Al Hufe?) returned ?" "No," replied thc farmer, "Al Unfed has never returned, and his family know not what has become of him. This is not a diamond, but a stone wc found out in tho brook." "Hut," said the priest, "I know a diamond when I sec it, and I tell you this is genuine." Together they rushed .out to tho Btream, stirred tip thc white saud with their fingers, and there secured many beautiful and valuable gems. In that way the famous diamond minea nf Golconda, thc most valuable on earth, were dis covered. This has a moral, ns all Arabian tales. Had Al Hafed re mained at home and searched as dili gently for diamonds in his own streams and fields he would have at tained great riches instead of wretch edness, starvation, poverty and death. Taking this story as an illus tration of the great mistake so many people make in supposing that noth ing good or great can bc found in their midst, but must bc sought for in some other section, he shows that every man of ordinary character, in telligence and energy can accomplish wonders by taking advantage of cir cumstances in his own life and sur roundings, that greatness really con sists not in holding political oilice or prominent positions, but doing great deeds with small means, in bene? iiting one's own neighborhood, in helping one's own community, in reaching down to those below and lifting them up, that economy and thrift arc thc keys to success, and that inherited riches arc more fre quently a handicap than an advant age to thc young man in starting life's battle.

Circular No. 1, regarding tito United Statos Cattle Quar antine, has boon issued from tho office of the State Veterina rian, Dr. G. E. Nosom, Clemson College. Tho circular con tains much,valuablo information for stock raisers, and we pub lish the samo in full, as the people of Oconoo are the ones most interested. An effort is being made to have the."quarantine lino lowered, and Dr. A. S. Shealy, Assistant State Veterina rian, has been placed in charge of the work. Tho circular is as follows : The Federal Government has established a quarantine lino across the United States, all cattle north of this lino hoing freo from the common cattle tick (Boopbilus annulatus) at all times, and all cattlo south of the line are within the tick-infested terri tory. The purpose of tho quarantine is to prevent ticks from being carried north on cattle and dropped whore they will infest northern cattlo, thus-producing Texas fever. As soon as a ter ritory is free from ticks it is eligible to go above the quarantine line, and as all of the Piedmont section of South Carolina is practically free from ticks an effort is now being made to get the counties bordering on the line, which runs on tho State line from a point north of Greenville to the western portion of Oco noo county out of quarantine. Tho inspection is now being made in the Counties of Oconoo and Pickens by the State Vete rinarian, with thc co-operation of a Government Inspector, and as a county is found to bo free from ticks the Secretary of Agri culture will be asked to place it above the quarantine line. All citizens living in tho upper portion of tho State aro requested to co-operate with tho State Veterinarian by beginning at once to free their cattle from ticks. No county can bo gotten above the linc until every cow in it is freo from ticks. The following information is published to assist those who may not know how to destroy the ticks either on the cattlo oi in posture. Other information will bo furnished on request. Address- "State Veterinarian," Clemson College, S. C How to Exterminate the Cattle Ticks. [By Tait Butler, State Veterinarian of North Carolina, and U. K. Nesom, Stato Veterinarian of South Carolina.] Since it is only with a full knowledge of the habits of the cattlo ti?ks and tho manner in which they breed that tho propel means for their destruction can bo devised and understood, tho fellowing facts should be carefully considered : v 1. The full-grown female ticks, after filling themselves with blood, drop off the cattlo and crawl under leaves, grass or an} other material with which the ground may bo covered. 2. Tn twu or three days those ticks begin laying eggs and lay from 1,500 to 2,500 during tho next two weeks. 3. In real warm weather these eggs may hatch in thron weeks, but the hatching may bo greatly delayed or prevented entirely by cold weather. 4. The young ticks, (seed ticks) although extremely small arc ?active, and crawl up the woods, grass or twigs and wait foi cattlo to como along and pick them up. 5. Since these young ticks aro not able to live longer with out food, unless a cow, horse or mule brushes its logs against the object upon which they aro waiting, within four or liv months they will starve to (loath. 6. From tho time tho young licks get on cattle until the} arc full grown and ready to drop off is about four weeks, except in cold weather, when they frequently remain on much lon gel 7. Neither old nor young ticks crawl far, and a fence with a rail or board on the ground will certainly stop thom, but wir fences do not always afford protection. 8. Ticks do not go from ono animal to another. 9. Eggs laid before the first of September will hatch thc same fall, and unless the young ticks get on cattlo, horses oi mules they will die of cold or starvation before spring. 10. lOggs laid during the cold weather of late fall and win ter do not hatch until the warm days of spring. It i^, there fore, the eggs and not the ticks that aro able to pass th rou gi the winters of tho northern and western portions of this State. With the foregoing facts in mind three methods of destroy ing tho ticks at once suggest themselves : 1. Keep all cattlo, horses and mules out of the tick-infested pastures, lanes and lots after September 1st, and all eggs pre viously laid will hatch before cold weather and the young ticks starve to death before spring. 2. Divide tho pasturo by a fence with a rail or board tight on tho ground, and tho first year keep all cattle, horses and mules out of one-half after September 1st. The second year put tho cattlo on tho half left vacant the year previous, and also provide now lanes and lots on ground over which no cattle ran the year before. 3. If practicable, burn the pasture over thoroughly early in the spring. Mix sulphur with the salt given tho cattle-one part of sulphur to three parts of salt. Begin not later than April 15th greasing tho logs and under parts of all cattle, and repeat it once a week all summer. Tho grease prevents young ticks from getting on the cattle and kills thoso already on by plugging the small openings r. tho body through which they breathe. Any bland oil, such a> cotton seed oil, or linseed oil, applied alone will kill all ticks that are coated over with it. Tho low grade cotton seed oil, which sells very cheaply at the mills, serves tho purpose very nicely. A good disinfectant sulphur oil may be prepared by mixing one gallon of cotton seed oil, half pound Howers of sul phur and a half pint zenoleum or chloro-naptholeum, Heat the oil, stir in tho sulphur and add thc zenoleum when cool. The oils may be applied with a paint or whitewash brush or swabbed on with a cloth. Whilo grea/.ing tho cattlo look carefully for any ticks a tached to the body, and if any aro found on tho cattlo pick off and burn them. For herds of five to ten head, where greasing and hand picking would bo laborious, a spray pump may he used. Any garden sprayer, such as tho knapsack or bucket pump, can be used. Make a 5 per cont, solution of any of tho coal tar disin fectants, such as chloro-naptholeum or zenoleum and apply it liborally to tho anim nig once a woek as long as any ticks can bo found on thom. If tho greasing, hand picking and spraying ho done thor oughly and no ticks allowed to drop in tho pastures, lanes or lots for four or five months during tho warm rfoason, tho effort will bo successful. Either of tho first two methods, when they can bo adopted, aro always certain to exterminate tho ticks ; but the third is not applicable to lithgo herds, and will fail unloss it is carefully and thoroughly carried out, iftpenMry. Wau pu nue ko, I. T.," June 27.-There le lately bolug a great (leal ?aid aud written in South Carunna ou tb* dispensary in South Caroliua. Some are looking at tho question front the viewpoint of tho religionist, others from that of tho poli tician, aud perhaps som? frOra that ortho oftiue-lover. 'I am not viewing 'Chis question from the politician's viewpoint, for 1 nm not a politician. Neither do I see the quen don from the view of a Democrat, for "1 never was thus nor wished to lie" a Democrat of any k'ud. lint, being a m i mst er, I nat o i ally look ?rn the dispen sary law of my uatlve State from the moral view poiut. To my miud the dispensary law of South Carolina is the very best solution of the whiskey problem lu this country. In my school life and servies siuoe I have lived iu North Carolina, there they bad the system of high license and jugs could be found hidden lu the grasa cu tho campus of Davidson College while the students drank and shot out window Sanes and blistered the pl .storing lu tho alls. The writer lived ia South Carolina and studied the theory and practice of tho dispensary law. tie lived in Kentucky ones in a high lioense city, where there were about 860 saloons, witu perhaps half of them open all day every Sabbath. Again in a local option "dry" town where men ran blind tigers among a peo ple who could see, see the tigers and are there doing work on Sunday aud shell ing up the fifteen year old boys. That's the country where for rape a negro near re was turned loose on a $100 bond and where for such crimes men are usually iined five or ten dollars The writer lived in Alabama where tho nearest saloon was 00 miles away. And there the merobauts ordered whiskey for mon aud could seouru it from Mobile in 12 hours. Consequently, nearly overy store was an express, otflce and tho preacher who opened bis mouth waa a sensationalist and his salary was crippled. He again moved to tho Indian Terri tory, whore tifo United States has a spe cial law against whiskey, which the druggists too often ignoro in their Bolling "white mules" and Ponina. After studying the whiskey question under the varied laws in these places it aoes occur to my mind that tho South Carolina dispensary system is the host so lution of tho whiskey question. Is local optiou on prohibition bettor than tho present law? Not when the lo .al decision is at tho voting option of men who like a dram. Aud where tho local decision is for mon who despico whiskey they eau vote oven a dispensary t ?way. o Is high license better than tho present t aw? No, for license never goes too high ( foi a saloon keeper to reach it ami a sa- t omi does good work for boys who can't j i ade at a dispensary. A saloon duos dg business during tue stay of a circus iud a the when the governor aud a nay or can close a dispensary. A saloon .an draw an assembly on Sir day or ?anse ail assembly to drink somewhere iud disturb the Christian Sabbath and he nation's rest day. Is tho dispensary letter than to let ibo whole question go without legislation? If anything is bot er than tho freedom Of I um it must he ;he dispensary which checks tho course if rum. Is prohibition any bettor than the dis lonsary? In K -usas, Kentucky aud Ala >ama it seems to bo worse. Hut prohi iltion is better than dispensary lu theory. Ult theories do not mnko food when iooked nor cloth when woven. And wo mist livo and voto according to visible .ondit ion;, and not according to pot tho rnes no matter how tho theory may bo. Can wo euforco prohibition? Did any if us over soo it enforced? Is tho Stato cady for it? Aro tho people educated 0 nccopt it? Until they aro wo must ako tho next best thing and that seems o bo tho dispensary law of South Caro nia. After all, public opinion, and that only, .an enforco a law in this country. AU .he armies and navies, all tho governors ind sheriffs can't enforco a law against he will of public opinion. Public ?pinion will not support perfect prob! rition, it's a pity, it's sad, but it's so. \nd wc must not lot theory run away sd th judgment. If wo "can't got cake ot us take pio" ami work harder and amie time we may got tho cako and thou twill bo woll cooked and ready. W. Bruce Doyle. Nervous Dyspepsia Cured by Rydale's Stomach Tablets.
