The warlike proclivities of Russia, because of her land grabbing propensities, have resurrected, with all appearances of strong life, the project of connecting the Baltic with the Black Sea, forming a continuous and most important waterway 1,468 miles in length. Of that mileage less than 100 miles would be of canal construction, the remainder being supplied by the Dwina and the Dneiper rivers. : The cost of the work has been placed at $180,000,000, which, before completion, would spell a larger sum under Russian methods of public works, Of the enormous value of the work to Russia, nothing need be said as a measure of . safety in war. But by far the greater value would come to the world in the use of the canal as a highway for commerce. The Russian Government has been liberal in amounts given for the survey of the rivers, and the work will, undoubtedly, be completed. The activity of the Russian Government in the matter has aroused interest in the old-time project of a ship canal between the two bays, the Delaware and the Chesapeake—in time of peace a canal for commerce, and in time of war for protection to the National Capital. The House Committee on Railways and Canals gave a hearing to the advocates of the project in the early days of last month, and Mr. Alfred J. Crozier submitted estimates showing that the canal could be built at a cost not exceeding that of two battle ships of the first class. That the canal would avoid the necessity for so many defensive vessels is admitted and by its means war vessels stationed at any one or all of the naval stations, on the Atlantic coast, could speedily be concentrated at any desired point protecting the Capital, and avoiding a sea voyage and the chances of capture. The project will be revived and pushed before the next session of Congress, and it will have advocates in the interest of peace and trade and commerce, equally with advocates because of its value in time of war—for these are the days of appreciation of the true value of waterways by the public. a e#@ hth tae te WHAT A MAN IS WORTH © .

In all the car barns bunks are being erected, provisions stored and ranges and kitchen utensils placed. It was ramored early in the day that a gang sor 200 non-Union men had been landed from a tag and hoveed at North Beach power house by the company. Agents of the company are known to be in the East endeavoring to secure men. The members of the Union say they are not exercised over the preperations being made at the car barns to board and lodge any help that may apply. Many Unions have voted thet members shall not board the cars during a strike, should the company succeed in operating their Hones.

Ite Decline as an Art Caused by the Modern Newspaper. fhe wonderful development of the newspaper may be looked upon as a very potent factor in the decline of let: ter writing as an art. The letter no longer can be regarded as primarily the carrier of news. The expression of one’s opinion about great contemporary events is indeed still left to the letter, but how much of an incentive to friendly correspondence is lost by the fact that every part of the world knows of important happenings almost simultaneously is not to be lightly estimated, says Gunton’s Magazine. The stimulus to writing that comes from having “news” to impart is done away with, and it is not always that even the gifted letter writer can afford to lose that incitant. It is only the correspondent par excellence who knows how to attain the perfection of his art by writing delightfully of nothing, if indeed that may be called nothing which affords him a means for the employment of his delicate perceptions. For the saving quality of the genuine letter is in the ability of its author to put himself into it. If he writes about trivial things he does it with a gfBce of interest that disguises the triviality. He must not make his little fishes talk like whales, but he should, as Goldsmith himself knew how to do, make his letters of perpetual interest because of the aptness of thejr style to the simplicity of their thought Working Overtime, Eight bour laws are ignored by those ireiess, little workers—Dr, King’s New Life Pills, Millions are always at work, night and day, curing Indigestion, Biliousness, Constipation, Sick Headache and all Stemach, Liver and Bowel troubles.

Ite Decline as an Art Caused by the Modern Newspaper. fhe wonderful development of the newspaper may be looked upon as a very potent factor in the decline of let: ter writing as an art. The letter no longer can be regarded as primarily the carrier of news. The expression of one’s opinion about great contemporary events is indeed still left to the letter, but how much of an incentive to friendly correspondence is lost by the fact that every part of the world knows of important happenings almost simultaneously is not to be lightly estimated, says Gunton’s Magazine. The stimulus to writing that comes from having “news” to impart is done away with, and it is not always that even the gifted letter writer can afford to lose that incitant. It is only the correspondent par excellence who knows how to attain the perfection of his art by writing delightfully of nothing, if indeed that may be called nothing which affords him a means for the employment of his delicate perceptions. For the saving quality of the genuine letter is in the ability of its author to put himself into it. If he writes about trivial things he does it with a gfBce of interest that disguises the triviality. He must not make his little fishes talk like whales, but he should, as Goldsmith himself knew how to do, make his letters of perpetual interest because of the aptness of thejr style to the simplicity of their thought Working Overtime, Eight bour laws are ignored by those ireiess, little workers—Dr, King’s New Life Pills, Millions are always at work, night and day, curing Indigestion, Biliousness, Constipation, Sick Headache and all Stemach, Liver and Bowel troubles.
