Cuckoo.
When grandpa's dock should strike tiw hour,
It's Just os tunny, but tfs true,
Out pope the cuteat little bird /
And shakes his wings and says "Cuckoo t"
You don't see cuckoo very much,
'Cause two little doors hide him from you.
But when the clock points to the hour
He pops right out and says "Cuckoo!"
I watdhed him close the other day,
'Cause grandpa says he ain’t alive.
I don’t see why, for he can count;
He ouckoo’d every time for five.

Left Over Turkey or Chicken.
A delicious way to use cold left
over turkey or chicken is to mold
the white meat with cranberry jelly.
Put a layer of strained cranberry
sauce in the bottom of a mold and
over this a layer of the meat finely
chopped and seasoned. Add more
cranberry and another layer of
meat, alternating the two till the
howl is full. Put a 'weight on top
and set away to chill and harden.
,When ready to serve, turn out on a
dish and garnish with celery tips.
t A Delightful Cold Cream.
Put a' teacupful of sweet cream,
the thicker the better, into a lined
saucepan and heat to boiling point.
Let cool. Do this three times and
after heating the third time stir in
while hot the strained juice of one 1
lemon, two tablespoonfuls of strain
ed cucumber juice, half a table
spoonful of glycerin and half a ta-
blespoonful of honey. Stir till cold.
Add a few drops of any scout you
like to perfume it add store in pots
for use.

Canal to Cost $300,000,000.
New York World.
That the Nicaragua canal will cost
at least $300,000,000, and probably
more is freely admitted by senators
and representatives who advocate its
construction. There is no attempt
to conceal the fact that the maxi
mum estimate named by the Nicara
gua Canal Commission, $189,000,-
000, will be only enough for a be
ginning. With the work once under
way, there can be no abandonment
of the project, and congress will be
compelled to appropriate all the ad
ditional funds necessary.
George S. Morrison, a member of
the commission, who is considered
one of the most expert engineers in
the world, computes that it may
even require $1,000,000,000 to build
the canal along the Nicaragua route.
His conclusions are that unlimited
time and money will be required.
There is no disposition in congress
to delay legislation because of the
cost. There is a general conviction
that the people demand the canal.
Those who advocate the Nicara
gua route say the sum required to
complete the Panama canal would
equal if not exceed $300,000,000,
and that no good could be accom
plished by changing routes now.
When the canal question comes
before the Senate for debate proba
bly the chief objection urged to the
Panama route will be that a good
title could be obtained only after
years of diplomatic negotiations and
after the adjudication of from 1,-
000,000 to $000,000 claims of hold
ers of Panama stock.
There is some talk that the trans
continental railroads will continue to
use the Panama project as a club in
an effort to defeat the Nicaragua ca
nal, but no serious interference is
anticipated on this score.

The Red Sea Passage;
Outlook.
I remember that in one of his talks
Booker Washington, referring to his
belief that the most profitable edu
cation of the people of his race re
quired various methods, according
to the reeds of the people under
different conditions, told a story of
an old colored preacher who was en
deavoring to explain to his congre
gation how it was that the children
of Israel passed over the Red sea
safely, while the Egyptians, who
came after them, were drowned.
The old man said, “My brethren, it
was this way: When the Israelites
passed over it was early in the morn
ing, while it was cold, and the ice
was strong enough so that they went
over all right; but when the Egyp
tians came along it was in the mid
dle of the day, and the sun had
thawed the ice so that it gave way
under them, and they were ■ drown
ed.”
At this a young man in the* con
gregation, who had been away to
school and had come home, rose and
said: “I don’t see how that expla
nation can be right, parson. The
geography that I’ve been studying
tells us that ice never forms under
the equator, and the Red sea is
nearly under the equator.”
“There now,” said the old preach
er, “that’s all right. “I’se been
’spectin’ some of you smart Alecks
would ask some such fool question.
The time I was talkin’ ab0ut was
before they had any jogafries or
’quators, either.”
“That good old man,” said Wash
ington, “was just trying in his sim
ple manner to brush away the cob
webs which stood in the way of his
logic. By some such method the
misconceptions which hamper the
course of education for the colored
people must be removed before the
best results can be attained.”

Modernizing Palestine.
Atlanta Constitution.
On account of the sacred isolation
which Palestine has enjoyed since
the days of the patriarchs as the
Holy Land of the Bible, and espe
cially on account of the associations
which invest it as the cradle of
Christianity, there has been no ef
fort made until late years to carry
the twin flags of industry and com
merce into this ancient abode of re
ligion.
But at last it begins to look as if
Palestine is destined to throw off
the exclusive atmosphere of religious
sanctity which for centuries past has
kept it unspotted from the world
and to join with other countries in
the onward march of industrial and
commercial progress.
Recently the screech of the loco
motive has broken the august reign
of solemnity which has brooded
from time immemorial over the bar
ren stretch of country from. Jaffa to
Jerusalem. Between these two ob
jective points lie the remnantB of
many historio towns and cities,
amoqg them the ancient city of
Hebron, within whose precincts re*
pose the ashes of Abraham and
Isaac and Jacob. Until the locomo
tive was introduced into Palestine
the camel furnished the principal
mode of travel, and the slow move
ments of the camel were in keeping
with the spirit of reverence which
everywhere pervaded the landscape.
But under the modernizing influ
ence of the iron horse much of the
distinct Orientalism of the Holy
Land is rapidly passing away.
Following the commercial inva
sion of Palestine' comes the an
nouncement that rich deposits of
ores have been discovered in various
parts of the country and that on ac
count of the value of the discoveries
it is likely that large syndicates will
shortly be formed for the purpose of
developing the material resources of
the country. Most of the discover
ies have been made along the banks
of the Jordap and the Dead Sea and
an eminent German civil engineer is
authority for the statement that the
sterile plains and barren slopes of
the Holy Land, which have so long
defied successful cultivation, are in
many places teeming with buried
treasure, which the pick of the miner
will yet unearth.
We cannot say that we rejoice in
the change of status which the Holy
Land is apparently undergoing for
so precious are its memories and
traditions that any effort to modern-
i ize it seems hke desecration.

The Farmer and His Oxen.
An old farmer in Arkansas has
four oxen which he uses for farm
ing purposes, and named them
Presbyterian, Baptist, Episcopalian
and Methodist, respectively. When
asked why he gave them such queer
names, he replied:
“I call this ox Presbyterian be
cause he is true blue and never fails;
pulls through difficulties and holds
out to the end; besides, he knows
more than all the rest. I call this
ox Baptist because he is always af
ter water, and seems though he’d
never get enough; then again, he
won’t eat with the others. I call
this ox Episcopalian because he has
a mighty way of holding his head
up, and if his yoke gets a little too
tight he tries to bick and crawl
clear out of the track. I call this
ox Methodist because he puffs and
blows and bellows as he goes along,
and you’d think he Avas pulling all
creation, but he doesn’t pull a
pound unless you continually stir
him up.”—Exchange.
