The canal is constructed of riveted

Why He Got Degrees.
Woodrow Wilson, President of Prince-

4ug of honorary degrees.
"Our universities have learned of
!Pate," he said, 'to distribute honorary
rirees judiciously. But in the past—"
He smiled.
"Well, in the past I met an uncouth
meson at a dinner, and, being 'told by
*ex acquaintance that he had three de-
grees. I asked why it was,
"`Well,' said my friend, 'the third was

French Peasants Odd Business,
"In France, at this season," said a bird
dealer, "the banks of the streams are
yellow with bonfires every night. About,
the fires loaf peasants, men and women,
smoking, chattering, spooning.
"They keep the blaze going all night,;;
and at dawn, behold, the ground is an,
inch or two deep with May flies, fire-
flies ,moths—little creatures that, ex-
pecting some unknown and divine sensa-
tion, flew out of the darkness into those
clear and gemlike flames, fluttered forth
again in agony, fell and died.
"The tiny corpses are sold to the
French bird dealers at 5 or 6 cents a
pint, and are resold for food to the own-
ers of pet birds, finches, thrushes, can-
aries, nightingales and the like" New

Kept Ten Dollar Bill Forty Years.
Chid Smith, a farmer near Indianapo-
lis, called at the office of C. W. Morri-
son, this city, and asked him if he still
trusted in the Lord. Morrison replied
in the afifrmative, whereupon Smith
said: "It was the Lord that sent me
here to return $10 of your money.I
have kept it for forty years."
Mr. Smith then explained that one
day in 1867, in W. A. Bodine's store at
Morristown, he saw Mr. Morrison' drop
a $10 bill from a roll which he had re-
ceived from the merchant. Smith picked
up the money and on this occasion he

in',Bornu, from 'Tripoli and through the
"Fbrbidden Hinterland" of Tripoli to
Lake Chad. The successful completion

In the r ountains of Gharian Mr.
Viseher found people living in subterra-

'yards long and one yard broad. he came
upon a square courtyard, which was in
reality a. great hole open to the sky.
Upon this all the rooms and stables
converged. The rooms were very dark
and there were no windows, but the most
absolute cleanliness prevailed.

A Praying Church.
(Christian Guardian.):
The minister may be a man of God,
but be cannot do the praying for his
congregation. The aggressive power of a
church will depend very much upon the
individual prayers of its members; and
every prayerless or semi-prayeriess mem-
ber will bo a source of weakness. But
bben—we fear many, who complain that
the Church is not praying church, them-
selves spend more time in groumbling
than in praying. It is so easy for a
sinner to grumble and so uard't' r a sin-
ner to pray; and, by the way, it should
be true, that it le hard for a saint to
grumble and easy for a ,aint to pray.
Let us quit our complaining, and get
down upon our knees. Wo are persuaded
bleat the great euro for the ills • of the
church is to be found in cepetant and
full communion' with our Lord. True,
there are prayers that simply tell the
Lord what He ought to do, but such
prayers are vain. True prayer brings
men into direct oontaot w:th the infin
its purity of God, and humbles man
into the dust; but out of the 'pert ho
rises, a purer man, one Who hat power
with God and men. This comineinion is
not a matter of privilege alone, ' but a
real necessity to true spirit till life. The
man who talks with God will walk with
God. The man who walks with God will
not stoop to meanness or dishonor; he
will not, he cannot, be n bare and fruit-
less tree, but God will work through
him to make the kingdom come.

Hero Died Hero's Death.
Private Kennedy, V. C., of the High-
land Light Infantry, who has just met
with a fatal accident in Edinburgh,
showed conspicuous bravery in the
South Arfican war. At Dewetsdorp in
November, 1900, he carrid a comrade,
who had been dangerously wounded and
was bleeding to death, from Gibraltar
Hill to the hospital, a distance of three-
quarters of a mile, and all the way under
a hot fire. On the following day, when
a volunteer was called for to cross att
exposed space, with a message that it
was almost certain death to deliver, Pri-
vate Kennedy at once stepped forward.
Before he had proceeded twenty yards he
was severely wounded and unable to
proceed; but the daring will was taken
for the daring deed. Kennedy met his
death in Edinburgh while endeavoring to
stop a runaway horse.

BOXES NOT WANTED—LESS COLOR
AND LESS SALT.
J. B. Jackson, Canadian commercial
agent at Leeds, England, writing home,
says that Canadian butter shipped to
the north of England markets should be
sent in casks. Practically every dealer
makes this suggestion:
"Box packing has so long been asso-
ciated with inferior butter in the north
of England that Canada's present system
of sending butter to this country in
boxes is simply ruining her chances of
making any decided impression on the
large imports of continental and other
foreign butters. In fact, it is said that
for this reason alone Australia's at-
tempts to compete in the north of Eng-
land markets in box -packed butter have
not been so successful as expeEted"
The reason is not far to seek; the
north of England is the stronghold of
the Danish butter trade. Two-thirds of
all the Danish butter imported into
England is received from special butter
steamers at Newcastle -on -Tyne, Hull,
Goole and Grimsby, and immediately on
being landed is distributed" by fast ex-
press trains on the different railroads to
the various centres. Canadian butter also
would appeal much more to the public in
the north of England if it were not so
"highly colored." It should be made as
near approaching a very pale straw color
as possible, and should not be salted
more than one-half as much as in
Canada.
