The Four Canal Difficulties.
1. Climatic conditions. The solu
tion for this lies in sanitation. We
will have the greatest sanitary ex
perts In the world associated with
us, and I am sure we will overcome
the climate.
2. Ihbor. The solution for the
difficulties involved In securing
enough of the right kind of labor lies
in fair treatment, fair wages, and en
forced sanitation.
3. The engineering problem is not
per se more difficult than others that
have been put through successfuly.
.Its immensity is the only staggering
(thing about it. The same organiza
tion and the same forces applied to
this project that are used in less
gigantic enterprises of the same kind,
ibut on a similarly large scale, will,
in my opinion, make a successful Job.
4. Distance from the base of sup
plies. The solution of this lies en
tirely in the perfection of an organlz-
tion in Panama and in this country.
What will be necessary will be the
maintenance of an absolute equili
brium between demand and supply
relative to the class of labor and
material.—President Shonts in the
Chicago Journal.

"Of late years coffee lias disagreed

seemed to thicken up my blood.
“The heaviest was when it upset my
stomach completely, destroying my ap

one of these attacks, in which I nearly
lost my life, I concluded to quit and
try Postum Food Coffee.
"It went right to the spot! I found it
not only a most palatable and refresh

“All my ailments, the ‘loginess’ and
dizziness, the unsatisfactory condition
of my blood, my nervousness and irri-

my sorely afflicted stomach began
quickly to recover. I began to rebuild

SWINGING ON THE GATE.
I can see a picture painted. 1 can smell the drying hay
Where the busy mowers rattle through the 'azy summer’s day;
I can see the hungry plowboy wading through the billowed corn.
With expectant ear to windward, list ning to the dinner horn;
While unconscious of necessity, the future or of fate,
I make wondrous childish journeys as I swing upon the gate.
Strange how back among the many recollections of the past
Memory will grope and wander till it brings to us at last
Some poor, foolish, fond remembrance, seeming hardly worth the while
Yet somehow made wondrous potent, like a tender passing smile.
Fleeting, gone, and soon forgotten—yet remembered oy and by
With a swelling in the bosom and a dimming of the eye.
Now my temples fast are graying and my eyes have sober grown
With the years of varied happiness and sorrow I have known;
Still I sometimes hear the echo, when the evening lights are low
And without my darkened casement ghostly breezes eerie blow.
Of the friendly, nisty rattle of the latchet as when late
In the hazy, lazy summertime we swung upon the gate.

-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-
By WINIFRED KIRKLAND.
T is hard to tell why we dis-
a )t liked the self-government
O T O Idea so much at first. I
K ® jt suppose It was because we
thought it was Esther Hor-
neek’s idea. And we dis
liked Esther Horneek. It is a little
hard after you have been three jears
in a school, and you and your “crowd”
have had things pretty much your own
way, to have a new girl come in and
turn everything topsyturvy.
Esther started a dramatic society and
a debating society and a literary soci
ety the first month. Imagine the work!
And also she talked self-government.
She had two sisters in college, and did
not see why boarding-schools should
not have self-government like colleges.
Now self-government is not any fun,
at least, that is what we thought then.
So long as you have a teacher to watch
and see that you do not break the rules
all you have to do is just to sec that
you do not get caught. But if you are
on your honor, then you have to keep
every rule all the time.
Now Esther is attractive and enthu
siastic, and she was very popular with
all the new girls, and with the faculty,
too. And she talked and talked, until
at last Mrs. Sinclair herself said we
might try self-government, that is, try
it in some particular first.
Our crowd did not want it, hut
Esther's crowd got the majority. All
of us old girls were angry enough to
find that the school was going to be
run by a majority. We did not think
it was fair. At the school meeting,
when it was all decided, Esther’s
crowd was beaming. They had heard
that Mrs. Sinclair was going to let us
have self-government, and the ques
tion was. What should be the thing in
which we were to make the xeperiment
first?
Should it be promptness at meals, or
going to bed at ten, or order at opening
exercises, or what? Some people said
that Esther had a grand, new idea
about (his, too. In a racket of clapping,
Esther got up to speak.
She docs speak well. Her eyes get
shiny and her cheeks get red. and she
certainly can talk. Sometimes you-al-
most forget that it Is Esther.
She said a lot first about what a
grand tiling self-government is. how
much more womanly it is to watch our
selves than to allow ourselves just to
be watched. She said that the colleges
had shown how well girls could govern
themselves, and why'could not board
ing-schools follow \heir example?
Of course, she said, we were not to
have the entire discipline of the school
at first. But if we showed that we
could tannage some one department of
school government, then we could go
and take up others.
Pretty soon she came to her proposal
as to what this department should be.
and what do 3011 think she proposed?
A fire-drill, of all nuisances!
She said we ought to have a system
atic fire-drill. It was dangerous not to
have an organized fire-brigade in such
a large school. Of course, as this was
Esther's idea, it was cheered by
Esther’s crowd, made into a motion,
voted on and carried before we had a
chance to turn round.
Then Esther rose and talked some
more. There was a good deal of talk
in the school, she.said, about the diff
erent cliques, and how unfortunate it
was that they should pull apart as they
did. She said that iu history they
called cliques parties and factions, and
we all knew how injurious these were
to good government. It was just the
same with a school. She wished that
when it came to school questions we
could put aside our personal opinions,
and care more for the school than for
ourselves.
Esther sat down in a perfect storm
of cheers, but everybody was not cheer
ing and clapping, although it sounded
like it. I saw Natalie Jewett getting
ready to clap, but I frowned at her,
and she did not dare.
So we were iu for fire-drills. And
Esther herself was in for chief firecap-
tain.
Perhaps you think you would have
liked it! To be sitting peacefully study
ing in study hour, with three "quizzes"
ahead for the next day, and one of
Carol Turner’s 2 a. m. spreads behind
3’ou, and then to hear whiz, hang,
clang! All the corridor bells breaking
loose together! You dropped your
books, rushed to your room, clapped
down the windows, banged the tran
som, snatched up a towel, slammed the
door and flew into the hall. There,
every twent3’ feet, a girl would he
standing, repeating like a cuckoo-clock:
“Rally ou third corridor north!” or
“Rally iu the dining-room!” or “Rally
in main hall, first floor!”
And 3’ou must instantly fall into or
derly line, and march to the aforemen
tioned destination, wherever it might
happen to be. and you must be perfect-
Jj' quiet in the line, and obey your cor
ridor captain just as if she had been a
teacher, or Esther would be after her—
and after you!
And Esther allowed just one hun
dred and twenty-five seconds between
the first clanging of the corridor beli
and the assembling of the entire
school at the rall>', and if you were
late! We did not much enjo3' being
scolded and ordered about by Esther
and Esther’s corridor captains, just
girls like ourselves!
Sometimes the drill would come at
night, perhaps just after we were all In
bed, and out we would all have to
scramble, and rush to the rally, kim
onos and towels and hair all flying.
As likelj - as not, this evening parade
would end on the tire-wall staircase.
There was one at each end of the build
ing, where the wings join the main cor
ridor. The staircase is a little iiarraw,
winding affair of iron, and it is shut
iu by iron walls, and has sliding doors
of sheet iron on every floor. The fire
wall stairs are chilly and narrow—
there’s just room to go down in single
file. Sometimes, no matter how sleepy
»Ml cross we were, IsJstlier would keen
us marching up and down those stairs
and actual^* out-of-doors when we got
to the bottom, until I really believe
we could have done it in our sleep.
It grew to be awful tiresome. I be
lieve even some of the teachers
thought Esther was too energetic, and
went to Mrs. Sinclair about it; but she
would not interfere, and she would not
let au3* of the teachers be present at a
fire-drill. We were to have it all our
own way, or rather Esther was to
have it all her own wa3\
You may imagine our crowd was not
very nice to Esther at fills time. But
no matter what you did or said to
Esther, she never seemed to notice; she
was so full of her old notions about
self-government and school spirit and
the fire-brigade that she did not seem
to feel anything for herself at all-
One night a lot of our girls were in
my room, and we just decided then and
there that we would not put up with
it any longer. The next time those
old hells rang for fire-drill, we would
not go. Who iu the world could make
us?
We did not have long to wait. That
very night, just as I had fallen to
sleep, all those bells suddenly went off
like mad. Sheer force of habit pulled
me out of bed and into m3 - kimono,
still too sleepy to know what I was
doing.
I was (aking up my towel when 1
remembered our resolution, and sat
down on the edge of the bed wide
awake and determined not to budge.
I found afterward that exactly twenty
girls were acting in just the same wn3\
all our third centre corridor, in fact.
I could hear the girls scurrying out
over our heads. Out in our corridor I
could hear the hall guards repeating,
“Rally on the third north, tire-wail
stairs!” Fire-wall stairs, and it was
as cold as Christmas!
Prett3 - soon came a pounding at the
doors. Nancy Yoorhees, our corridor
captain shouted:
“Girls, girls, wake up! Didn’t you
hear the bells? Where are you?”
Then the doors began to open. “Oh.
you are awake!” cried Nancy. “Do
burn-!”
Nobody stirred. Nancy’s face looked
queer. “What is the matter, girls?”
We began to come out of our rooms
and gathered together. “We aren't
coming!” I said.
Nancy looked at us. then turned and
flew. An instant afterward we saw
Esther’s red bath-robe come scudding
down the corridor toward us. She
stopped a second because Miss Edger-
ton had appeared, and had said in her
usual fussy way:
“Can I help you, Esther?”
Esther laughed back at her.
“No, indeed, Miss Edgerton. We are
not used to having 3'ou at lire-driils.
The poor little dears might think it
was a real fire if 3’ou came.”
Then Esther stood before us, her red
bath-robe tied in tight about her waist,
her long braids falling over her shoul
ders. I shall never forget her face. It
was all ablaze with color, and her 03’cs
were like steel, and her lips had a reg
ular Napoleonic set. At first she was
£.oing to make us go!
If she had ordered us to go then, 1
do not know what would have hap
pened—for we would not have moved.
Then her face changed. I never saw
any face look quite so sweet; it was as
if all the self in it just went. out.
“Girls.” she said, “won't .vou please
come? I’m not ordering. I’m just ask
ing, just as a favor, this once, please.”
And we went, but we were pretty
sulky.
We marched to the third-floor fire
wall staircase. The tire-wall doors on
the third had been drawn; one of them t
was left open just enough for us to
squeeze through to the little dark, cold
•staircase. The door down on the first
floor, leading right out-of-doors, was
open, and the wind whistled up.
Half the girls were alread3 r down
and out when we started from the top.
Esther was at the very end, as usual.
As we went down, she called iu that
ringing voice of hers:
“When you get down, shut the fire
wall doors into the first-floor corridor!”
She was ordering us again! “Let’s
not!” I said to the girls behind me, and
we did not. Esther was still on the
third floor. We were all shivering in
the night air outside at the bottom.
Esther opened the window, just as she
was about to start down, and called.
“Is everybody down safe?”
“Yes,” somebod3’ answered.
We could see Esther just as she put
her hand on the door to squeeze
through to the stairway. Then there
was a sudden report and roar, and a
great sheet of flame went sucking up
the fire-wall stairs as if through a
great funnel!
It was a real fire! It had spread from
the cellar to the first floor, and there,
fanned 1)3' the wind from the open
door, it had licked its way through the
corridor doors we had left open!
And where was Esther? We looked.
We did not make a sound. Onl3- Na
talie turned, covered her eyes, and laid
her head on my shoulder. I could fee!
her shiver all over. It seemed as if in
an instant all the wing was ablaze.
Then we saw Esther! We saw her
running, running, past window after
window. But flames ran, too, over her
and under her. It all depended on
whether she could reach the main stair
case before thes - did! The main stair
case is 01113- of wood. She reached it.
She got down. She was not hurt a
bit. Only when she saw her, Natalie
and I both sank down on the ground.
I felt as if I was going to faint.
Esther came right over to us. “Why
didu’t you shut those doors?” she
asked.
We did not answer, but Esther knew
why. Suddenly her face began to work
so queerly. there in the red light of the
tire.
“If the fire had come a minute sooner
when you were all on the stairs!” she
said, and she put out her bauds us if
she could not see, and were feeling for
something. Then Mrs. Sinclair stepped
out from somewhere, and put her arms
round her.
The fire was not so bad as it looked
at first, and the slow old Mayside Hose
Company did arrive, and put it out
after a while. About thirty of us had
to bpard iu the village for the rest of
the year, but now we are all under one
roof again.
We have self-government this year,
and Esther is president. The vote for
self-government was unanimous, and
so was the vote for president. It was
the first time anything unanimous ever
happened in this school.—Youth’^ Com
panion.
WHERE HEALTH IS FASHIONABLE
lu Japan Ail Classen Unceasingly Prac
tice Body Training.
Just now, while the military prowess
and general sta3'ing power of the Jap
anese are claiming the attention and
respect of the civilized Avorld, it is of
great interest to note the claims made,
by those who know best, as their ad
vanced attitude toward the whole ques
tion of hygiene and physical develop
ment. We of the West ar.e all too apt
to take it for grafted that we stand
in the advanced guard of all evolution,
and it has become the custom of late
3-ears to enlighten the laity by word
and pen on their duty to their phy
siques. Health is the fashion, and its
rules are published broadcast. Now
we are told that in Japan health is
not onl3’ the fashion—but the universal
habit. The Japanese people not only
know the rules that govern it, but all
classes untiringl3 r practice them.
"They are the same old rules—we have
them all at our tongues’ ends—breathe
deeply and slowly of fresh air, bathe
regularly, eat moderately, drink plenty
of fresh water. We all know them, we
all respect them, but most of us ig
nore them, except by fits and starts.
With the Japanese the case is differ
ent. They are naturally an abstemious
people and are not great meat-eaters.
They have always laid great stress ou
the value of large quantities of pure
water to flush the 83-stem and keep the
kidneys in good condition, and they
are probably the most inveterate bath
ers in the world. As to their muscular
development and control, the3' are fa
mous, and last, but not least, they
place great weight on the importance
of cultivating and practicing all the
time the fundaineutaf principles of hy
giene.
They are to-day pitied against a huge
and powerful nation, and are winning
victory after victory over their ad
versaries, not because they outnum
ber them, not because they are bigger,
but largely because their bodies are
trained to endurance and their minds
to patience and foresight.
The Western nations are beginning
to learn the lesson they teach—to prac
tice with patient persistence those
laws of health that have been taught
so often. The jiu-jitsu, the system of
body training practiced l)3 r the Jap
anese for centuries, is the foundation
of many modern treaties on physical
culture.—Youth’s Companion.
The "Great Thing's” Wife.
A parodist declares that “wives” of
great men all remind us, we can’t
make our wives sublime.” The case
in point was that of Victor Hugo who,
the Mercure de France says, indulged
in philosophical monologues, to whica
people were expected to listen. But
one person, at least, had heard them
too many times to bo unceasingly vigi
lant.
One evening the great man burst
forth:
“How poor, how small, how absurd
Is atheism! God exists. I am more
sure of Ills existence than of my
own. God surrounds and upholds us.
We are in Him. From Him we have
life, movement, being. All is created
by Him. But it is not true to say
That He created the world. He
creates it unceasingly. He is the
Soul of the universe. He is the in
finite I. He is—Adele, you are
asleep!”
This abrupt accusation was hurled
at Madame Hugo. Since dinner she
had been huddled in an armchair, her
chin resting on her chest, her hands
folded and her eyelids closed. Her
breathing had been suspiciously regu
lar. Now, at this onslaught she
roused herself.
“You dear, great thing,” she pro
tested, “how could you possibly im
agine I should go to sleep while 3° u
wore talking?”

BABY’S TERRIBLE SORE
How Charles Luoinls .Started.
It always interests me to know- just
what*particular thing has influenced a
man to take Tip one calling rather than
another. There is Charles Battell Loo
mis, for example. I have always won
dered what first suggested to him the
idea of being a humorist when so many
more lucrative callings are open to a
man. It was the reading of Arthur
Homy’s new book, “The Unwritten
Law,” which moved Mr. Loomis to con
fess. Mr. Henry’s Aftory begins in^e
certain neighborhood in Brookl3*n.
“Why,” said Mr. Loomis, “I know
that part of Brooklyn well. I did my
first work right there.”
“Prose or verse?” somebody asked.
“Reading gas meters,” said Mr. Loo«
mis. “I was always fond of reading!
The first jokes I ever sent to an editor
were written on the back£<4rf fffis bill
receipts.”
This should teach that everything
depends on how you start out. Read

of its quickening effect on the imagin

Expensive Practical Jokea.
“A practical joke,” said Barney Old
field, the automobilist, “was played on
me last season. I had my revenge,
though. The practical joke took the
form of a telegram. It was a telegram
from a friend of mine traveling in
Italy. It came ‘collect;’ it cost me $7.
and when I opened it all I read was:
“ T am well.’
“To get back on my friend for play
ing such an expensive trick on me I
went out into the road and found a
cobblestone. I wrapped this stone in
excelsior and pink paper, sealed it up
in a handsome box, and sent it by ex
press, ‘collect,’ to my friend abroad.
It cost my friend $8 for the box, and
on opening it he found, along with the
stone, a note from me that said:

were in good health the accompanying

A student of bird life, who has been
investigating the question as to the
hour in summer when the commonest
small birds wake up and begin to sing,
says that the greenfinch is the earliest
riser, as it sings about 1.30 o’clock in
the morning. The blackcap begins at
2.30, and tbe quail half an hour later.
It is nearb* 4 o’clock, and the sun is
well up, before the first real songster
appears—the merry blackbird. Then
comes the thrush, followed by the
robin and the wren, and last, the house
sparrow and the tomtit.
Thus it will be seen that the lark’s
reputation as an early riser is not de
served.

Feminiue Veracity.
“Women are as a whole less truthful
than men.” So says a woman, and
since she is a woman, of course, her
statement may not be true. But she
does not mean to be unkind. If women
are “less truthful” it is, as you have
no doubt already divioed, men’s fault.
“An ordinary woman,” she explains,
“trained to keep some one or other iu
authority iu a good temper, cannot be
expected to be as frank or as reifeble
as a man.’’—LonUoa Telegraph,
Charity covers a multitude of sius, but
it doesn't remove them.
Why ?
Why, when buying a book, are we in
fluenced by the author's name? Why by
an artist’s if we purchase a picture?
Why do wise buyers insist upon having
a reliable name on nearly everything they
purchase?
It is because the name attached is the
safeguard of the buyer — a protection
against the palming off of inferior articles.
This “name guarantee” we all look for in
the most important things we buy, and
what can be more important than our
food?
Everybody knows that all intelligent
housekeepers are very particular about the
buying 01 things to eat and drink, and no
body realizes it more than the up-to-date
grocer, who caters to the wants of his cus
tomers.
For instance, every real grocer knows
the reason for the universal popularity of
Lion Coffee, the loader of all package
coffees. He knows that its uniform purity
and high quality have made it welcome in
millions of American homes for over a
quarter of a century.
Realizing this he cannot but hand it out
cheerfully when asked for it. He knows
that the people accept the package as a
guarantee of the contents.
Yet there may be a few grocers left who
do not recognize that the buyer—not the
: seller—has tne right of choice, and they
may want to sell their loose coffee (who
knows what it is, or where it came from?)
; instead of Lion Coffee, which the cus-
! tomer asks for, and the merits of which
both know.
In such cases the wisest advice is;
"Change 3*our dealer.”
