The schema for cutting a canal across the isthmus of Corinth has had its peri ods of trouble and depression, like other and greater enterprises of the same char acter, but it appears to bo now rapidly approaching completion. The concession was originally granted by the Greek government ia May, 18S1, to General Turr, with whom was associated M. de Less ps. After the original capital had been ab sorbed and the operations for some time suspended, the operations were taken up by a new company, who in l'.O entered into a contract with a firm who under took to complete the works on March 10, liti3, under a penalty of i,000 per month for any delay after that date, but unfor tunately about this time lat year a wa terspout passed over the works, flooding the excavations. The disaster necessitated a slight ex tension of the term, but the contractors now promise that a large steamer will go through the canal on the 23d of April next. Great efforts are being made to render the system of lighthouses ade quate. The Corinth canal, which w-ill have cost from first to last 2,7.'VO000, will be lit by electricity, with two pow erful lights at each end and a row of lights through its entire length. London Xews.

Thry An I aally Thinkls; ut Walking Bark Over Uim Rente After the woman had rolled over two or three times in the dust and made a voluminous display of lingerie, she strug gled to her feet. Her face was very red, her back hair was terribly mussed and her draperies in most inartistic disorder, fche scornfully refused to give her name to the conductor, who rushed to her as sistance, and would not say whether she was hurt. As she turned to walk away the conductor whistled "go ahead," and f mi Its began to show among the passen gers. "She's like all the rest of 'em," was the contemptuous comment of the couductor as Le jumped on the car. "I never knew a conductor who topped his train at the right place," sneered a fat woman who overheard the conductor's remark. "It's the greatest wonder in the world that more people are not killed by the carelessness of them conductors. They haven't a bit of ac commodation in their souls." "Did you hear tliat woman?" inquired another passenger. "She blames the conductor for that woman's tumble and will in oil probability alight from the car backward when she reaches her destination. I have been a close ob server of this perverse habit of women who ride on the 6trect cars, and believe that I have solved the problem. "Why do they turn their faces -the wrong way? I saw a theory advanced the other day in a newspaper that left handed women were never seen to take a tumble because their stronger arm aided them to retain their balance when alighting. But it really makes no differ ence whether a woman is left or right handed. She gets on a car and tells the conductor to let her off at Twenty-first street. She has been down town shop ping and is in a hurry to reach home. "All the time the cable is pulling her homeward she keeps thinking of how much she will have to do when her jour ney is ended. The conductor yells 'Twenty-first streetf "She is aroused with a start from her studv, intent only on getting off the car. You have noticed, no doubt, that a cable train always passes a crossing before it steps. There is the whole secret of a woman's many tumbles. She would be safe and happy if the conductor would only stop the train so she could step off at the right spot exactly. But the car pa-sses tiie crqsning, and unconsciously she turns her face in the direction she wishes to go. If she would wait until the car stops all would be well, but the thought that she is being carried post her destination makes her hurry. Before the car stops, she thinks of the few extra steps she will have to take if she is carried anv farther and jumps off. You know the rest, and there is the true reason why 89 women in 100 get off street car backward. The 100th woman is on the rear seat of the last car and steps off at the right place," Chicago Herald. A Valuable Team The man from Saginaw was visiting the national capital to see the sights. One day, on Pennsylvania avenue, he saw a heavy, close, dark wagon, more like a black maria than anything else. and asked his guide what it was. "It's rather strange about that," said the guide in the slowly didactic style. "You've been talking about the salaries of ofiicials here, from the president' l.-0,GtX) a year down, but do yon know the horses to that wagon beat them all!" "That soi" said the Saginawster. "They don't look like they could earn more tlian f j a day anyhow. I've got better horses than that to hire at (5 a dav and feed." The guide looked at his charge with pity. "Why, my dear sir," he explained. "those horses draw millions from the treasury every year." The Saginaw man wouldn't have it and said so with profane empliasis. "But it is true nevertheless," inskted the guide. "That's the wagon they haul the gold and silver in. and the Sagi- r.awster looked at it steadily. Detroit Free Press. fiiclling- Cornea hj Nature. In confirmation of the saying that "spelling comes by nature" the case may be cited of a certain little girl, 6 years old, whose parents are both good spell crs. At school recently she was given to write but a list of 78 words, which contained many rather hard ones, such as "hatchet," "receive," "neighbor" and so on. She spelled every word correctly snd was the only scholar in tho school who did so. Xow and tken it happens, however, tliat the child of a famous rpcller breaks its parent's heart by proving an incor rigibly bad speller, in such a case the lisapxjinted parent may console himself with the reflection that the child inherits :iis bad spelling from a grandparent, or ;ven from some more remote ancestor.

"I carried with me as a frightful example a man with a brilliant red nose, and during my remarks I would call upon him for testimony. On one occasion we struck a small town where we had an audience of about a hundred lople. I was making fine headway with my lecture, and at the proper time I glanced over the crowd and said, "Will the gentleman with the re-d nose please rise to his feet?" Of course my man got up, but liefore he could do so thirty-seven men had risen slowly to their feet, and I don't think I was e ver more embarrassed in my bfe." Toledo ELide. Stan Terras Flea. A flea can jump straight upward and vault over a barrier 5o0 times its own height. If a man conld dkplav as much agility he conld clear a wall a mile high et a single bound. If he could jump as far forward according to his weight as a flea can he could make 2 trips around tho world at one leap. St. Louis Repub lic A Common Word Just Now. "Eow do von 1 renounce the name of the island kingdeni whie-h wants to be annexed to the United States!-" is a ques tion frequently projioundod r.nd various ly answered nowa.lavs. The most com monly accepted pronunciation, and the one authorized by Lip; incott's, Worces ter's, Wel-ste-r's a:: 1 the Century dic tionaries, is, for the n-;..e of the princi pal island or the group, "Hah-wi-e," the second syllable accentr-d. and the -." pronounced as in "pine." The same ques tion was once aiiked e.r a high caste Ha waiian lady, well educated in her own and tho English laugu.-.go. She answered: "The proper pronunciation is Hah- vah-e-e. There is co 'w' in our alpha bet, and no letter nor combination of letters which take the sound of w" aa in English. The missionaries who first translated our language found it difS- cult to pronounce or express the sound which is, to my tar. correctly conveyed by the letter v.' softened end made full. Our 'a' is pronounced broad, as you pro nounce it in 'fail, and cur i" is like the English 'e.' The rule is to pronounce every vowel, r.nd as the exception to tho rule does not affect the double i' in Ha waii, you will see that the word is 'Hah-vah-e-e.' " The insistence upon tho "v" instead of the "w" sound is considered, even bv somo of the well educated and all of the uned ucated, as something of an affectation. and one hears "Hah-vah-e-e" on the islands, instead of "Hah-wah-e," about as often as "valine" instead of "vase" in American society.
