Those who look forward to the con trol of the great rhers of America and the use of funds supplied by the gov eminent for that purpose point to the fact that Knglaud hus spent' about $;;i),Oimi,000 on the new Nile dams and other works for controlling the great Egyptian river aud making certain the crops of the valley below, and that she has invested the sum of $300,000,000 for irrigation purposes in India dur ing the last 30 years. tuys Itny Stannard Baker, in Century. A'single canal from the Ganges cost $13,000,000; it has a total length, including tribu taries and drainage cuts, of 3.910 miles. and irrigates over 1,000.000 acres of land. These works in India, costly and stupendous as t.hey have been, are regarded by the English as a profit able investment.

A cricket club of Englishmen in Valparaiso, Chili, sent to England for a large consignment of bats and a few stumps. On arrival they were liable to a duty of 30 per cent., but it occurred to the captain, who had had a good deal of experience in cus tom house business, that it wvuin be a good move to enter the goods ns nirricultural Implements, which were allowed to enter free of duty. This was done and it was pointed out to the custom house ofllciul who examined the goods that with the end of the stump and the aid of the fiat of the bat a hole was made in the ground In which seed was placed.

We shall never forget oue aw f ul day, just before a heavy thunderstorm, when we attempted to work a uiarsh, but found it quite impossible to go more than 20 yards without resting. k veil is a great handicap in shooting, ind we found it exceedingly difficult to judge distance at all accurately. As to trying to watch birds in this couu try it was impossib.e to do so for any length of time. Directly one stopped, such a cloud of mosquitoes gathered round one's head that after a short time the bird could not be seen through the binoculars owing to the dense swarm of mosquitoes which quickly gathered in front of the glass, relates a writer in Knowledge. The only times in which we were able to discard our veils wns after we had beaten the mosquitoes out of the tent and fixed tbe curtain over the doorway, and when after rowing hard for an hour or so on a lake we left the mosquitoes behind. At one place, however, we met. a tiny black fly in such myriads thnt it became a far worse pest than the mosquitoe. This fly was so small that no ordinary net ting would keep it out, and it crept into our hair ami ears and bit so hard and unpleasantly thnt to escape going mad we were forced to pack up our things and run away from the place. But no one who has been in the in terior of Lapland in summer can ade quately describe the blood-sucking iu- sects which possess thnt country. HAND KISSING LEAGUE. An K&tranrilliMiry Orunntftnttoa Vie eenllr Jrrmel l- l'nrllaa l.MluUltra. Some lViiibiuin exquisites of Imth sexes have jiint formed the "lund kissing leagu-.." Men belonging t it vow never to shake, or even squeeze, n woman's hand. In lieu of that form of salute they imprint u light kistt on her fingers or her wrist. Women be longing to the league bind themselves to cut any man refusing to discard whut our neighbors call "le shakei hnnd" in favor of the dainty and daintily named "le baise-iiiain." The new nsssocint ion, reports a Ixin- don paper, is framing a code of hand kissing. This will define various forms of "baisy-main," and will specify under what particular circum FstnnceH each i to be employed. It is already decided that the slight touch ing of the tips of two fingers of n feminine hand by a man's lips is the most frigid form of the greeting. while the kins on the wrist is a privi lege of intimacy. Intermediate usages nre the oscnln- tory salute on the knuckles, on the back, and on the palm of the hand. The last nntred form, vhlch is some what of an innovation, obviously re quires the exercise of dexterity by the lady if she does not wnnt to look awkward during the ierformiince.

A New York bootblack painfully real l.es that there is u, difference, al though perhaps be cannot explain it in logical argument and elegant phrase, savs the Itochester Democrat and Chronicle. Last year, having laid by a few hundred dollars, he played the races and won $40,000. This year he tried the mine game and lost all his winnings, as well as his original capital. I'.ciiig not altogether friend less, he managed to borrow enough money to buy a new bootblacking out fit, and is now industriously shining footwear unci gathering in nickels nnd dimes. If he keeps at it he will soon be out of debt, and again become a modest depositor in some good sav ings bank, lie has had his experience, and it was rather harsh, but it may do him good. Let him renounce Na poleonic ambitions, stick to hi busi ness and save his money. The races are treacherous tilings for those who play them, and the. rocket-nnd-stick performance is less productive of hap piness than that steuiiy thrift which is sure, even if slow, ns a promoter of prosperity and a builder of character. HOTEL FOR WOMEN ONLY. San Frnnclncu Una One ttecettfly Ereeteil Uy the (ilrl.1 fnlon of Thnt City. Under the auspices of the San Fran cisco Girls' union a hotel exclusively lor women has been erected and the members of tin; organization are con grutuluting themselves upon their new possession. The union has been in existence since 1884 and was formed for the purpose of aiding self-dependent, self-respecting girls to live in nice surroundings at a cost in accordance with their means. The society has had a house for some time, but it is not to be compared with the new hotel. 1 he home is self supporting and an uverage of 40 wage-earning wiuuen cull it home. In the hotel SO rooms are to be rent ed, the price per month ranging from four dollars to six dollars. The board Is $12 per month. The rooms are well furnished anil commodious and each has a stationary wnshstnnd. The house is exceedingly well planned und provision bus been made for class rooms, as the union proposes to con duct classes in literature, music, Rew lug, typewriting and other subjects, Fat nowllnK.

Lahar amlae" Machinery Taking- the Plaee of Maajr Men In Sboua and Foundries. The small number of men to be seen m a modern large machine works or steel mill, as compared with uu old time shop of similar importance, is a matter which has been a frequent occasion for comment, und thi is doubtless due to the very general use of labor-saving machinery, says the Engineering Magazine. The cost of production In industrial establish ments is made up of the costs of raw material, wages, toolage, taxes and in terest, of which the large t single item usually is the wages cost. One way by which this item may be reduced is by tbe installment of mechanical stokers. In the great majority of steam plants the coal is wheeled to the boiler room by hand, it is fired by hand, and the ashes are removed by hand, making, in plants of 2,000 boiler horse-power or over, a wage cost of some consid erable amount. The mechanical stoker may be de fined as a system of great bars, dump ing bars, coal feeders and automatic devices to feed fuel aniv,u,.'rol its combustion, and subsequently to drop the ashes and unhurnt coal. That it is not in any sense a new invention is to be learned from the fact that James Watt took out a iintent in t78, for such a device. The mechanical stoker Is of Knglish origin, though it has been very thoroughly developed in the- I'nited States to suit the local fuels and boiler fiirnnceconditions. APPENDICITIS IS NOT NEW. The niaoriler llaa Ktlntril for Hut the Doctor. Did Nut KnoTT It, Aura, "Why ia it," asked a man of a phy sician, "that so many people are suf fering these days with appendicitis and have to be operated upon, when there was formerly nothing of the kind in existence?" according to the Chi cago Chronicle. "My young friend," Ihe doctor an swered, "this disease has been in the world ever since Adam was perhaps that story of his losing a rib may have arisen because he was operated upon for appendicitis. When your grand father was a boy his neighbors had it all around him, and so they did w beu you were a boy. But they called it inflammation of the bowels, stomach ache, acute indigestion, liver trouble or something of that sort. The pn tlenth got well or he died, but no one ever opened him when living to see what the matter was. Perhaps it is as well that they did not, for much of the surgery of those days wan more dangerous than any disease." INITIALS" ON THEIR LOAVES. for Infants and Children. The.
