PARKER'S LAST BOAT ON CANAL Was Laden With Coal and Con signed lo M. A. Miller, of Uloomsburg, Dec. 9, 1906. PASSINC7 OF AN INDUSTRY. Of 110 little interest is the following article on ihe passing of the canal, which we glean fro in the Bloomsburg Morning Press: "The question lias frequently been asked 'When did the last loaded boat pass over the old Pennsylvania canal, what boat was it, and where was it consigned Thinking that some of your readers may be interested I have looked up the record and find that on December Bth, 1900, Pennsylvania Canal Company's boats Nos. 343 and •'544, Captain Cooper, were cleared at the collector's office at Beach Haven, consigned to M. A. Miller, Blooras burg, laden with stove and buckwheat coal respectively. This was the last coal shipment to pass over the canal. "The last year of the canal's oper ation saw a great falling of! in busi ness as compared to its former days. Intact the last three years previou to its close foretold its doom, and many were the regrets on the part of 1 those whose life had been spent fol lowing the fortunes aud misfortunes, ut' llie 'raging canal,' where they saw ihe beginning of the end of that grand old waterway. "During the year 1900 there were shipped over the canal to various points between Nanticoke and Colum bia, (i5,077 tons of coal; during the year 1899 the total tonagewas 73,108 tons. This was considered an exceed ingly poor season. When we compare the above with the season of 1897 luring which the. total of 203,519 tons were carried over the canal, or tho mouth of November 1896, in which the tonage was 33,978 tons, we can easily see that the boat man was being "starved out" of his oc cupation and the canal was being in a word 'killed.' "In the way. of its greatest activity there were few more pleasant or prof itable occupations than boating and many are the wishes of the old boat men for those good old days, but al though this is not as we see it the 'survival of the fittest,' yet the de mards of the age, and the ends of its manipulators seemed to warrant the wiping out of this once great in dustry.

WORK FOR | SYLVIA By Joanna Singl* i » Copyright, 1906, by E. C. I'aroells j| j Sylvia Maine stretched out u gaunt arm and slammed down the window of her little dressmaking shop. "Looks like spring wanted to gtt in here, too," she remarked precariously through the mouthful of pins which she was deftly transferring to tho folds of the gleaming white satin gown draped on the lovely girl who stood pa- 4 tlently before her. She continued: "The lay cock buds Is all bust In' out, and the wind smells good enough to eat, but I can't have It blowln' your halt* Into my eyes and settln' these folds skewln'. You'd have a conniption tit if your weddln' dress didn't set good, and so would 1. It would dis grace me. I've made every weddln' dress In this village for fifteen years, all except Mundy Butler's, which was city made, though I don't Just say that had anything to do with her bein' di vorced In a year's time." Nelly laugh ed as she replied: "I'm not sure that I'd know It If it didn't fit, Sylvy. Is It silly to be so happy? Here Ilarry and I've been en gaged only a year, and our folks all like It, and now his grandfather leaves him all that money, and everything's perfect." She blushed with shy pleas ure to the roots of her beautiful blond hair. The withered little spinster dress maker sighed. Iler only love had In anger married another woman and had been unhappy till his early death. "It's silly not to be as happy as the Lord will lot you be, Nelly. I don't let myself git too old to forglt that. You and Harry be as happy as you can and be good. There—ain't that sleeve sweet? I got to git this dress of yours done this week so's I can git at Annie Pal tie's. Her weddln's in June too. Ifs the Lord's own month for weddin's, and there lmd ought to be another be sides yours and Annie's In this vil lage." Nelly's resplendent Image In the glass made her ask absently: "What other wedding do you mean?" "John King's and Alice White's." Nelly considered the fit of her little girdle before she said carelessly: "Why, they've been engaged forever. Everybody's used to it. I guess they are themselves, or they'd do something about It. I know Harry would not wait that way for me—he—he cares too much." Nelly at twenty saw no romance in a ten years' engagement, but Sylvia knew that no woman gets used to be ing always engaged and never mar ried. She took the last pin from her mouth and explained: "It's Ills mother and her father that stand in the way. They are selfish old coots to stand in the way of the chil dren's happiness. Even if Alice's fa ther had any one to look after him I doubt whether Alice, who Is the sweet est thing that ever lived, could get along with John's mother. She's a heady old piece If she is smart and handsome, and she likes her own way too well to want a daughter-in-law to have first place in the house John has earned and built with his own hands. His father was no earthly account, and folks do say all Mrs. King married him for was to spite Cornelia Jones, who was dead in love with him and was nover married on that account, they say." Sylvia took the soft satin care fully off over the girl's pink shoulders. Nelly's sympathy was aroused. As she dressed she made a laughing proposal. "Well, something ought to be done, and it's work for you, Sylvy. You're always setting things straight for peo ple. Why don't the old folks get them selves out of the way? Why, they might get married—they might marry ea<h other! You attend to It—you've done harder things—and I'll help you out." As the girl stepped out into the sun shine Slyvia sank into a chair. "She beats time!" ahe muttered. "But It ain't a bad Idea. It ain't a half bail idee, and I wonder at myself for not thinkin' of it." Meantime Nelly sauntered toward the King cottage, where John's mother was at work among the flower beds. The widow was a tall, slim old lady, as neat as wax and still handsome in a warlike sort of way, with very black, snappy eyes, white teeth and thick gray bair. Nelly stopped and leaned over the fence. "Good morning, Mrs. King." The old lady came along, with her trowel, to smile at the pretty girl. She was ex tremely fond of any girl who was en gaged or 11 «.t likely to want her son John. Nelly chatted away. "I've been for the last fitting of my weddlnc dress. Svlvy'a a genius!

When Is—John going to be married, Mrs. King?" she Inquir ed innocently. The old lady stiffened, but Nelly continued: "I'm so happy that 1 want everybody to l»e! Sylvy uays that Cornelia Jones Is setting her cap at Alice's father, and I hone she gets hlm„ so Alice ran come hero with you and John. She would take the work off your hands, and she's so sweet! Bht I'll be rather sorry for Mr. White. Cornelia Is such a desperate , old maid aad no took or housekeeper ' at all, and he's so good looking and well off thai he deserves a better wo man to take i*are of things. Well, men 1 are queer, and she certainly must have been awfully pretty once." Mrs. King snorted. "She was never a mite pretty, to my mind. She set her cap at John's father when we were girls, but she didn't get him. Oh. must you go7" Nelly said good by and went liar way, seemingly unconscious of the storm oi wrath she awakened in the widow's bosom. John's mother knew he would marry some day in spite of her, and she dreaded the day. Toward evening Sylvia went to see Alice White, though she knew perfect ly well that the girl would be at choir practice. She lingered a moment on the porch, where Alice's father sat smoking, lie was a straight, blue eyed old man. Sylvia sat down on the steps to rest. "I been awful busy," she remarked. "Folks will get married, and that means weddln' dresses. I'm Just fln ishln' Nelly Dean's, and next it will be Annie Palne's. If what I hear is so, perhaps it'll l>e your Alice's l>efore loug." The old man squirmed and asked what she meant. lie wanted no son-in-law, though lie could not object to John. "Why, you won't believe it, but that half blind, hobbling old Judson is mak ing up to the Widow King, they say. She's handsome and young lookin' and well heeled, the best cook In town and economical too. She's good tempered, except about John's marryiu' Alice, and I kind of hate to see her throw her self away. But Judson's a sly old coot. Anyhow, I hope she marries and leaves John free. He and Alice have waited long enough—lt ain't rightl Well, I got to be goiu'. You tell Alice I was here." Shu walked off, 'leaving the old man with a new fear—and with a new idea In his head. That Judson! He and Judson had always conflicted. He grunted and lit his pipe. Spring passed into early summer, and in June Nelly and Harry and An nie and Richard were married. Alice, sweet and grave and dark eyed, sang at the weddings. Her rich soprano was indispensable. John watched lier In love and despair and began to won der if, after all, prudence and caution were not sometimes vices as well as virtues. Would he never be free to take Alice to his own home? Would she never leave hor father to come to him? 110 went to see her much oftoner than had l>een his habit, and, strange to say, of evenings her father disap peared, no one asked where, and loft them to themselves. John and Alice were again almost the boy and girl lovers of ten years ago. They took twilight walks and long drives unmo lested and unquestioned and were very happy. With surprise John began to realize that his mother no longer nagged him about his engagement nor had tits of weeping, during which she declared that he was going to make her a stran ger and a dependent in her own house. Then one evening lie took courage and masterfully lakl before Alice a plan to brave everybody. Finally she yielded, though she dreaded the ex planation that would have to follow. One soft September evening John, with a license in his pocket, drove to her door and told her father he was going to take her for a drive to Lynn vllle, ten miles a way, and that they would not be back till evening. The old man was used to their driving and said nothing. In fact, he seemed al most anxious to have Alice go. Late In the evening they returned man and wife. John tied the horse and went into have it out with Alice's father. But the old man, strangely enough, was not to be found. They waited awhile, and then John left hoi togo tell his mother. When he had gone Alice sat, silent, in tiie big chair on the porch, happy in spite of the probable trouble John's mother would make, happy in the face of her father's certain anger. At any rate, nothing on earth could make lior Anything but John's wife. So she wait ed for John and wondered where her father could possibly be. In half an hour she heard John's quick, eager footsteps. He swung In at the gate and almost ran to take her in his arms, lie kissed her, and he laughed—actual ly laughed—like a boy. Then he ex plained: "He's at my house—your father. It seems they took advantage of our ab sence to marry c.ich other, Alice. How's that for sly?

Then John, being a man, could not just see why Alice could declare that she was perfectly happy and still should weep on his shoulder. But Sylvia was a woman—she would have known the reason. The Worl«r» Water Supply. A German scientist predicts that the time will come when there will not foe water euough remaining on this globe to support human life. We are left to suppose that our shrinking sphere will form caverns In its Interior Into which the oceans will sink. For a similar reason, as some astronomers believe, there is no man in the moon, the for mer waters on Its surface, if there ever were any, having retired into its cav ernous interior. We have no evidence at present of subterranean hollowi ot any extent, and the earth's crust Is con tinually adjusting Itself by earthquake dislocations to the pressures within and without. Besides, nature has provided this planet of ours with a rather large water supply. Nearly three-fourths of the earth's surface—or 144,712,850 (square miles—are covered by the ocean, which is reckoned to be of an average depth of at least two miles. The globe i luiust contract enormously and leave | some huge cavities before our oceans Idisappear. At present its crust by no means resembles a rigid arch. It is a wavy curve, the tops of its mountains j more than five miles high and the low- 1 est of Its sea floors more than five miles deep. We may safely count on several millions of years before the last man has not a drop to drink. UNIQUE FEATS. Odd Phynioui Trick* That People Here uiid There Can Do. A group of traveling men were dis cussing unique feats and physical tricks that people here and there can do. "1 know a Chicagoan," said one, "who can whistle a tune and hum its accompaniment at the same time. He whistles through a flat, not through the usual round hole, and the deep, musical accompaniment together with the shrill sweetness of the whistle makes a mighty attractive thing to hear." "1 knew a barber," said the second drummer, "who had a unique way of cracking nuts. lie would place a nut between the back of his head and a stone or brick wall, and then he would give himself a sharp rap on the fore head with his fist. The nuts would crack open every time." "A Manayunk man," said the third, "can give his head a jerk that turns back his eyelids. He has to turn them down again with his lingers. This is an ugly feat, and I'm glad it is rare." "I knew at school," said the fourth drummer, "a boy named Bucky Ad ams who could play tunes by snapping his Angers. The thumb and first two fingers of each hand would work away bunlly, and forth would come the clear est, sweetest, faintest music. 1 used to sit with Bucky Adams, and many a tedious school session would he make shorter and pleasanter with this odd gift."—New York Press. rare Olive OH. If olive oil congeals In freezing weather, it is a sign that it is adulter ated with lard. Very few bottles of so called olive oil will stand this simple test—in fact, wo seldom get the pure thing, and, if we did, the chances are that we could not eat it. At least, tliat was the experience once upon a time of one woman who used a great deal of mnyonualse dressing upon her table and had supposed that she doted on olive oil. An Italian friend bestowed upon her a flask of the peculiarly green fluid. To her surprise, not one of her family, herself included, could bear Its taste. There was a tang to it which showed them that they had never eaten olive oil before and that they never wanted to eat it again. So they gave the flask away.—New York Telegram.

Their Game Seem* to Be a Pretty Hard One to Beat. It is hard to beat the beggar game in Italy. A fleet footed urchin and his maiden fell into a fox trot by the side of the carriage. "Look, noble gentleman," he began; "look, beautiful lady! See the little ra gazza—the poor girl-have pity on her! See, noble slgnor—you cannot refuse to give her somethlug—your heart is too good—you are too generous, too no ble, too handsome, to refuse. Have pity on her dreadful stale, for look—she has one gray eye and one black one!" We stopped the carriage. It wns true. The maiden had indeed particolored eyes, in addition to which she rejoiced in a most appalling squint. I gave her one copper. Hereupon her escort set up a iiowl at being ignored. "But why should you have anything?" 1 asked. "You ought to give me two coppers," lie replied, with a twinkle, "for I hate two blacks eyes, and she has only one." I was vanquished. I gave him his two coppers. I don't believe in beg gars, but I think he earned them.—"A '.evautlne Log Book," by Jerome Llurt FUNNY LITTLE "FIDDLER." One of the Moitt Interesting Members of the Crab fr'aintly. One of the most Interesting members of the crab family Is the queer and grotesque little "ilddler" which lives in burrows in the banks of creeks and estuaries bnck of the beach. Into these burrows the crab retires in autumn and composes Itself for a long winter ■leep. The eye stalks are then folded down Into sockets beneath the shell and the large claw rests closed and Inert against the body, while the legs ore folded up until the entire animal la snugly closed upon Itself, and It re mains in this dormant condition until the spring. Early in April the fiddlers awaken and Immediately attend to clearing out their burrows. The large claw Is useless for eating, only the ■mall one being available for this pur pose. It is amusing to see the dell oacy with which this little claw feels about and picks up the particles of vegetable matter and places them In the mouth, while the eyes are all the time raised uloft on their stalks and apparently looking off Into the dis tance. The female crabs have both claws small and of equal size, so they are both used in feeding, and she can satisfy her hunger Just twice as easily and quickly as the male. These fiddler crabs also gather food and store It In their burrows for future use.—St Nicholas. City Verims t'ouatry Eye*. In one of his delightful books Dr. Jessopp remarks that whereas coun try people look up Londoners look down. It is largely this habit that has limited their observing powers, but London has Itself to blame. I take it that one can observe well only by the power of taking large views, and in London this is impossible, even if one would, partly from the circumscribing effect of bricks and mortar, parti} from the dim light of a London dis tance and partly from the need of avoiding collisions. One's eyes uncon sciously acquire a habit of restricted vision; our observation specializes, like that of the little girl in Mrs. Meynell's book who beguiled the tedium of her walks by collecting shopkeepers named Jones. Perhaps that is the kind of ob servation lor which we In Loudon are j best rfUMt-LotWbu Outlook. HE TOOK LONG CHANCES. Bat the Tailor's Anxiety and Dill Were Both Finally Settled. The doctor of an English regiment stationed in India received A letter from his tailor inclosing a long overdue account and concluding with a polite Inquiry after the debtor's state of health. The sawbones replied thus: "I have received your hypocritical letter hoping that I am in a good state of health. Hear, then, what your chances of my living long enough to be able to pay your bill are. I attend assiduously *very cholera case In the camp, and I am making smallpox A special study. I swim every morning In a lake swarming with alligators. At a recent attack on a hill fort I went with the forlorn hope and was one of the three who returned unwounded Tomorrow morning I shall go unac companied and on foot Into the Jungle and wait for the man eating tigress as she returns at dawn to her cave and cubs. If It be she who falls I shall spend my leave in the fever haunted Jtinglo following up big game, and If I survive that I shall copl myself after Its heat by Joining a party to ascend the peak of Dbawalaglrl, whose snov •lopes and glaciers are as stiff as youi prices." The doctor eventually returned home In safety, and the talljr's anxiety anvl his bill were both settled. WOMEN IN PARLIAMENT. Down to Time of Ert-irnrd 111. Tlicy llnd It Iff lit of Votlnff. The ladies of birth and quality sat In i council with the Saxon Witas. The Abbess Hilda presided In an ecclesias tical synod. In Wighfred's great council at Becon celd, A. 1). oi>4, the abbesses sat and deliberated, and five of them signed tha decrees of that council ulong with the king, bishops and nobles. King Edgar's charter to the abbey of Crowland, A. D. 001, was with the con sent of the nobles and abbesses, who subscribed the charter. In Henry 111. and Edward I.'s time four abbesses were summoned to par liament—viz, of Shaftesbury, Berklng St. Mary of Winchester, and of Wilton. In the thirty-fifth of Edward 111. were summoned by writ to parliament, to appear by their proxies, Mary, countess of Norfolk; Alienor, countess of Orrnoud; Anna Dispenser, Phillippa, countess of March; Johanna Fita Water, Agneta, countess of Pembroke; Mary de St. Paul, countess of Pem broke; Margaret de Roos, Matilda, countess of Oxford; Catherine, countess of Athol.

An Italian newspaper gives an ac count of an amusing lawsuit which has taken place lately In a Russian city in which German Is the prevailing lan guage. One man sued another tore- j cover the sum of 50 rubles, the debtor having faithfully promised to return { the money on St. Henry's day. But having failed to do so for a long time the lender discovered that the Russian Orthodox church Includes no such saint as St. Henry, and the judge before whom the case was tried was much puzzled as to what verdict be should give.
