Some ’days ago it was announced t hat the government of Colombia would not consent to the sale of the Pauarna Canal Company’s property unless that company paid it a large sum of money, or the United States satisfied its de mands. It was then that it was said that the Panama Company could not give title to itB proper ty and the friends of the Nicara gua route were elated. On Saturday the secretary of the Maritime Canal Company was a witness before the Senate Com mittee on Interoceanie Canals, and what he said was a genuine surprise to the friends of the Nic aragua route. It seems that t-lie Maritime Canal Company thinks it has a good claim to the Nicara gua route, and proposes to be paid for its* property if the United States settles upon that route. It claims $6,000,009 v. iiich, it says, it has expended off the route for labor; $5,000*000 for laud be- twfoti Lake Nicaragua and Brito, and asks that its outstanding stock, amounting to $22,000,000, be protected. According to these figures the United States would have to pay out $88,000,000 in or der to get the right to construct a canal on the Nicaragua route. It is not to be wondered at that the friends of the Panama route are jubilant. It is practically certain that the United States will not pay the Maritime Com pany any such sum, if, in fact, it will pay it a dollar. Both Costa Rica and Nicaragua say that the Maritime Company has forfeited whatever rights it hill to territo ry along the Nicaragua route, and it is difficult to see wlmt the Uni ted States have to do with its la bor bills or its stock. No dottbt there is a strong lob by at the hack of those claims of ■the Maritime Company. And there is no tolling wjio is interest ed in the claims. 'The reason of ail this delay in settling upon a route for an isthmian canal may he due to the jockeying going on to got the United' States eorarnit- v ‘d. to the payment of claims at tached to either one or the other of the routes. The only tiling the people know with absolute cer tainty in respect to the matter is that they will have to pay the bills whatever the decision as to the route may be, ~4————-~- Parmer Poley O’Neal of Mun- fordville, Ky., is able to bid de- fance to the dentists. He is in dependent of them. Polev had lost his top teeth and was struck with the idea that he would like to have a new set. He asked a dentist what the charges would be, The figure named was higher than Poley reckoned he was will ing to pay, so lie did not give the order. Upon his return to the farm Poley bethought him of his good pocket knife and an old ap ple tree root that had been season ing in the buggy house for more than six years. With him to think was to act, and it was not long before a beautiful set of top teeth grow out of the apple root under the doxterious manipula tions of Poley’s pocket knife. It is asserted that the farm made teeth fit perfectly and are quite- fine looking; and that Poley can shell corn and crack nuts with them.—Ex. A WortiS To Women.

Such a movement will meet with the hearty approval of the Southerner, who is tremen dously proud of his aocent,wheth er it is characterized by the broad “a” of the Virginian, the peculiar vowel of the South Carolinian or the omission of the final conso nant by the average Georgian. , In spite of our Unity of gov ernment, and our singleness of purpose in all praise-worthy deeds we are a varied people in this great land of ours, and there is no more reason why Oharleston- ese, for instance, should be ex changes for Bostonoso, than that we who live in comparative warmth the year around should be asked to dress exclusively in the furs most acceptable in our northernmost boundries. While provincialism is a deplor able thing, as is free and easy lib erties with the queen’s, (or is it the king’s now?) English, neve- tlieless, it is a most welcome va riation to hear this woman speak ing in suoh a manner' as to indi cate positively that Bhe is from the South, and that man to so handle our mother-tongue that no doubt can possibly exist in the minds of his hearers as to his hav ing come from Maine. Passing of the City Weekly. The weekly edition of the big daily is passing. The New York Herald discontinued its weekly several years ago. The New York Weekly Tribune, which was once considered indispensable in so many homes, is gone, and the publishers are trying to establish in its place a literary weekly and an agricultural paper. There is but one answer to the cause of its displacement in the home. The country paper has so improved that it contains all the Tribune furnished and the local news be sides. The ideal country weekly today is a better home paper than the Tribune ever was.—Pointers. President Roosevelt the other day paid $6,009 for a Missouri raised thoroughbred saddle horse. The horse is in the president’s stables in Washington. Prince Hem*} 1 saw the animal and was much pleased with it; so pleased, indeed, that he authorized nego tiations with the breeder of the presidnnt’s horse for the purchase of its full brother. The prince, it is understood, will present the horse he expects to secure to his brother, the emperor. How to Our© the Grip.

Census Bufeau figures: The American hen laid last year a total of 10,000,000,000 eggs. The total value, at an average of 10 cents a dozen, was $138,000,000. The hen’s earnings were greater than those of the entire postal sys tem. The sum realized would have paid the entire expense of the war de partment. Enough eggs were consumed in New York alone to pay for another Brooklyn bridge. The eggs laid last year weighed more than 1,000,000,000 pounds. If the eggs were equally divided among the inhabitants of the coun try each person would get 141. The number of chickens in the U. S. is estimated at 284,000,000.
