A proposition to convert the new Springfield rltle into a carbine for the use of the mounted service is being considered by the ordnance officers of the army. The plan is to shorten the barrel of the riflo four inches, and by so doing to reduce itB weight by two pounds, thus making it much easier to handle by the mounted troops. The sights also are to be adjusted to moot the shortening of the barrel. The decrease in the muzzle velocity. it is claimed, will not be so great as to interfere with its effectiveness up to a range to 1,500 yards. The ordnance department had been asked to make a report on the proposition, and the cavalry board will take It up and include It In its report on the reorganization of the cavalry and on the new equipment. MRS. RIVERS DISCLOSES SECRET Matter Didn't Prove Experiment After All, and She Now Makes It Public. Mineral Springs, Ark.?In a letter from this place, .Mrs. J. M. Rivers says: "If it had not been for Cardui, the woman's tonic, no doubt 1 would have been in my grave. 1 was sick all of the time for 10 years, and took medicines constantly. 1 suffered terribly. At last, 1 decided I would just try Cardui on my own hook, and kept it a secret. It wus-certainly a God-send to me. Since taking it, I have no pain whatever, feeling good, and can wrestle with my 16-yearold son. in fact. I don't feel over 16 myself. Am us happy as a lark. When I began taking Cardui I only weighed 101 lbs. Now I weigh 117'^ lbs., and am going to continue taking Cardui until 1 weigh 135. I just can't say enough for Cardui, and I believe if all women who suffer from womanly troubles would take it, there, would be more happy homes." Using Cardui is no experiment. It has stood the most severe of all tests? the test of time. Cardui has been i\i UBe for over half a century, and in this time has benefited more than a million women. It is composed of purely vege table ingredients, which have been found to build up the vitality, tone up the nerves, and strengthen the womanly constitution. That it has helped others is the best of proof that it. will help you. Try Cardui. N. B.? Write to- Chattanooga Medicine Co., Ladies' Adviaory Dept . Chattanooga.

This simple operation marked the virtual completion of the great isthmian waterway. The water was permitted to flow into the cut today through four 26- ' Inch pipes extending through the Gamboa dike, which lias held the waters of the lake back front the cut. . This was done in order that there may be enough water In the cut* to prevent any damage when the dike Is finally removed. The final destruction of the big dike is scheduled for October 10, when charges of dynamite placed in holes already drilled in the dike will be ex- ; ploded. The explosion of these charges will not completely destroy the dike, but will weaken it and loos- | en the dirt so that the force of the waters from Gatuan lake will carry It away. Steam shovels will remove the remnants of the dike, leaving an open passageway from ocean to ocean. Canal Really Complete Now. Although the cnnal will not be officially declared completed for some unie, anu tne rornial opening of the I waterway to the commerce of the 1 world more than a year distant, the I canal engineers look upon the de- i struction of the Gamboa dike as mark- t lug the real completion of the canal. 1 I The hlg engineering feats have all t been accomplished, the excavation I work practically has been completed.

To look at the picture one wou Tho embankments that llank the chani tho Miraflores locks in the distance are ing of the canal takes place. This Is tlie present time which shows the can of the big waterway connecting the A and the great locks have been con- , structed. Tho work that remains to j be done is largely detail, and is but : child's play as compared with that which has been done. More dirt is to be removed from the channel, but this will be done with suction dredges floating upon the waters of the canal. There still remain somo finishing touches to be placed upon the locks, hut this work will take comparatively little time and presents no engineering difficulties such as have been en countered In tho past.. The fact that the canal stands practically complete morw than a year before the time originally set as the dato for its completion is one of the remarkable features of the work When Count do Pesseps, the great French engineer, abandoned his efforts to build the Panama canal after eight years of labor, he had scarcely made a beginning upon the gigantic task.

Culebra Cut Caused Trouble.

The engineers believe that the inngor of slides will he eliminated now that the water lias been turned nto the cut.

World Gives Goethals Credit. To Col. George Goethals. chairman of the Isthmian canal commission. ! chief engineer of the commission and governor of the canal zone, the world I will give the credit for the successful completion of the Panama canal. Colonel (Jocthals could not have accomplished his task without the assistance of such men as Col. H. F. Hodges. Lieut. Col. David Du B. Balllard and Lieut. Col. William L. Sibert. army engineers, who have had charge of various phases of the work, but Colonel Goethals Is recognized as the real builder of the canal. Cnder Colonel Goethals the greater pnrt of the $.176,000,000 which the canal will have cost when it is completed has been spent. It has been by far the costliest engineering project I In the world. Nearly three-fifths of a I billion dollars has been spent in digging a 40-mile "ditch." This means . that the Panama canal has cost the I I'nlted States $10,000,000 a mile. Over $16,000,000 of the total amount spent has been used to make the canal zone habitable and sanitary. It has been suggested that this Is an enormous amount of money to spend 1n cleaning tip a plnce in which few people will reside permanently, but the engineers say that the sanitation of the canal zone was the chief factor in making the canal a reality. The failure of the French has been attributed to a large extent to the fact that the workmen could not survive in the fever and pest ridden country. The building of the great locks which raise a vessel to a height of 87 feet above sea level at one end of the canal and lower it the same distance at the other end. has been in charge of two of Colonel Goethals' | assistants. Colonel Hodges and Lieutenant Colonel Sibert. Colonel Hodge's work In installing the immense lockgates that form so important a part | of the operating machinery of the ' canal, and Ills abilitv to overcome nil ' obstacles had lt d Colonel Gnethuls to call hint n genius. The building, poising and operation of the lock gates constitute one of the delicate problems of lock canal construction, and the proper handling of this problem j has been Colonel Hedge's contribution to the work of construction of ' the canal Lieutenant Colonel Sibert has had | charge of the building of the great | dam and locks at Gatun, in addition to other duties.

Through the work of these men?all J of them members of Uncle Sam's ; lighting body the United States bus been able to attain what has been in trutli the dream of centuries, in nine years these men have carried through an undertaking that was lirst thought of several hundreds of years ago. There is evidence that the idea of an isthmian canal was born as early as ' the sixteenth century, for history records the fact that the Inquisition declared such a project to alter the face of the earth to be impious and further discussion of the matter was forbidden by Philip II. of Spain, whose reign began in l&bti. More than a century later a Scotchman named Patterson revived the scheme, established u colony on the shores of the isthmus, and made a crude survey of the route. ' The United States government first took definite action looking toward the construction of an isthmian canal in 1S24, when the senate voted for the building of a Nicaraguan canal. An expedition was sent to Nicaragua to make an investigation, and reported that the canal could be constructed for $25,000,000, hardly one twentieth of the amount that the Panama canal will have cost when completed. De Lesseps First to Dig. I The matter rested until after the i Civil war. when negotiations for a i canal commission were entered into | by the United States government Mefore anything had been accomplished j the concession for a Panama canal I had been given to laiclen Napoleon Manaparte Wyse, a Frenchman. He ! organized a company, which sold out later to the financiers associated with Ferdinand de lesseps. The company organized with de Is'sseps at iti, head was the first one to actually begin operations on the isthmus. For eight years de Lesseps struggled manfully . against the greatest odds that man ever was called upe;i to face. Such was the h'.story of the isthmian canal project for some 200 or ten years, until the day in 1 !?04 when Uncle Sam undertook the task. In nine years the dream of the centuries has been realized. to read between the linos, behind the words, beyond the horizon of the printed page Philip's question to tho chamberlain of Ethiopia was crucial: "Knderstandest thou what thou read?st?" 1 want hooks not to pass the i time, but to fill it with beautiful ! thoughts and images, to enlarge my world, to give me new friends in the spirit, to purify my Ideals and make them clear, to show me the local color of unknown regions and the bright stars ot universal trutb Henry Van Dyke. I LOSING APPETITE FOR NUTS Writer Bemoan* the Passing of the Ancient Fondness That Made Winter Evenings a Joy. The old butternut, a very rich and fragrant nut of the olden time, has almost disappeared. Very few people of the present generation have ever tasted a butternut. The black walnut Is becoming fewer, and in a generation hence it will hardly be known. And yet it Is a precious nut, full of goodness and rare taste. Those old panB of cracked walnuts, in the long winter evenings, made up a family Joy that has never been surpassed. The hickory nuts, especially the good old shellbarks, figured prominently in those nutty days, and the chestnuts, too, including the hazel nuts and beech nuts; but they are all growing scarcer and have sadly strayed away from the human heart.
