I was ruminating about the difference be¬

and the new. There were no suicides then.
A crazy woman threw herself into a well and
it created a great sensation, NVe heard of
many cases in Paris and we wondered and

Now the* daily papers have to keep a space
open for them. Our children are raised
wrong or educated wrong. They don’t love
to work or to study or to read good books or
go to church. They want to frolic and to
sport or to find short cuts to fortune. Sup¬
pose we look for some of the old landmarks
and travel along the old roads and see if we
can’t stop this self-destruction that is so
fearfully increasing in our southern land.—

CANAL COMMISSION REPORT
The Subject of a Communication to the
Senate by President Cleveland.
Tlie report of the deep water canal
commission was laid before the senate
and house of representatives, at Wash¬
ington, Monday, with the following
recommendation by the president:
“I transmit herewith the report of
Messrs. James B. Angell, of Michigan;
John E. Russell, of Massachusetts, and
Lyman E. Cooley, of Illinois, who
were appointed commissioners under
the authority of a law passed March 2,
1895, to make inquiry and report, after
conference with such similar commis¬
sioners as might be appointed on be¬
half of Great Britain and the Domin¬
ion of Canada, concerning the feasibil¬
ity of the construction of such canals
as will enable vessels engaged in ocean
commerce to pass between the great
lakes and the Atlantic ocean, and the
most convenient location and probable
cost of such canals, together with such
facts and information, and said facts
specified in relation to their construc¬
tion and use. The commissioners have
prosecuted the work assigned them
with great zeal and intelligence, result¬
ing in the collection of a mass of infor¬
mation embodied in their report and
accompanying exhibits, which are of
great importance and interest as re
lated to the project. and
“The advantages of direct un¬
broken water transportation for the
products of our western states and
territories from convenient points c f
shipments to our seaboard ports arc
plainly palpable. commissioner!,
“The report of the
contains, in my opinion, demonstra¬
tion of the feasibility of securing such
transportation and gives grounds fol
the anticipation that better and more
uninterrupted commerce through thi
plans suggested between the great*
west and foreign ports, with the in¬
crease of national prosperity whick
must follow in its train, will not long
escape American enterprise and activ¬
ity. It will be observed that the re
port of the commissioners, though af
comprehensive as the time and facili
ties at their disposal permitted, doei
not definitely deal with the cost of tin
work they are called upon to consider,
ahd omits some of the details related
to it. Thus far they have labored
without compensation, and a part of
the sum appropriated for the payment
of their expenses still remains unex¬
pended. the the
“I suggest to economical congress provision pro¬
priety of making their
for such further prosecution of
work as will more fully develop the
information necessary to exact and
complete understanding of this inter¬
esting and important subject.
(Signed) “Grover C level and. ’
It having been stated lately in the En¬
glish papers that Queen Victoria has
been a total abstainer for several years,
somebody has deemed it worth while
to investigate the important matter,
and now this announcement is made:
“Her Majesty drinks little wine, but at
2 o’clock lunch—which really consti¬
tutes her dinner—her beverage is a
glass of weak Scotch whiskey and min¬
eral water, At dinner her Majesty
does little more than merely touch her
wine.” _

HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common water glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four hours; a
sediment or settling indicates a diseased con¬
dition of the kidneys. When urine stains
linen it is positive evidence of kidney trouble.
Too frequent desire to urinate or pain In the
back is also convincing proof that the kid¬
neys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO HO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so often
expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-ltoot,
the great kidney remedy, fulfills every wish
in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of the urinary pas¬
sages. It corrects inability to hold urine
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects
following use of liquor, wine or beer, and
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled tc get up many times during the
night to urinate. The mild and the extraor¬
dinary effect of Swamp-Root Is soou realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases. Sold by drug¬
gists, price fifty cents and one dollar. For
Sample bottle and pamphlet, both sent free
by mail, mention this paper and send your

This is How They Rise.
A young woman recently found em¬
ployment in a queensware store. She
immediately began a course of study
in her, leisure moments, upon glass¬
ware and china. Then see read some
recent works upon the appointments of
the table, and in a short time, tty ap¬
plying herself to her business, became
the most valuable employe in a large
store.
In a millinery establishment the.
young woman who found time for
reading a book or two on colors and
their harmonious combination, found
her own taste greatly improved and
her ability to please patrons muOh
greater. She was soon a favorite with
the employers and customers.
The young woman who, to earn an
honorable living, went into a lady’s
kitchen, and instead of gossipping
every evening found time to read a few’
good books and household papers,was
soon too valuable a housekeeper to be
kept in a subordinate position in the
kitchen. She knew how a table should
look for a formal dinner; she knew
what dishes were in season; she knew
how to serve a meal in its proper
courses, and more than that, she knew
something about the food-value of dif¬
ferent dishes.
Of course, this sounds like an old
fashioned Sunday school book, but the
fact remains that there is always “room
at the top,” and that no unusual
amount of intelligence is needed to
reach the top. A fair average of good
sense and a proper amount of applica¬
tion will accomplish everything.—
