A Ship Railroad. ,
Captain Eads's daring project for “a ship
railroad across the Isthmus of Dnrienlis a de-
velopment of a scheme thought , of some
years ago in New York. After the'close 0f
the war, when it was proposed to. enlarge the.
Erie canal so that it could be used by large
ships, a suggestion was made that it would
be better to build a ship railroad, large.
enough to take any but the largest :ocean
steamers, from some point on the Hudson
river to Lake Erie. Captain Ends-objects to
the canal propOSed’by M. de Lesseps that it
must cost at least $140,000,0001ndrpossibly
much more, and that the exec tion' of’tthe
work w"l occupy from‘fifteen to twentyrgfive
years from the time the work is commenced.
From which he concludes: 1st. That the
amount of capital required is so vast that it
will not pay to execute the work with private
means alone. 2d. That the ampunt cannot
probably be obtained unless the governments
of the several maritime nations directly in-
terested in the work can be induced to con—
tribute liberally in aid of the enterprise. ;-lld.
That the time required for consummating
the work is so great that the enjoyment of
the completed canal must necessarily bere—
served to the next generation. ; -
The ship railroad, Captain Eads cstimtu
could be built for $50,000,000, and on it the
largest ships that enter the port of New Stork-1
could be transferred, fully loaded, with abso-
lute safety across the isthmus within tweiit'y-
four hours from the moment they are taken
in charge in one sea until they are delivered
into the other, ready to dept": on theirijour-
nay. He says: - '

the sea gates opened and the vessel would
then be ready to resume her voyage in the
other sea. ’
The practicability of lifting the heaviest
ships out of water with perfect safety has
been amply demonstrated. The actual cost
of operating such a railroad would, he
thinks, he corsiderably less if proportion
to the tonnage moved over it than that
of the most successful railroad in this coun-
try, because the tonnage carried Would be
handled by machinery exclusively, and the
ratio of paying cargo tonon-psying would
be'much greater. But, he adds, "even if
we assume that the operating expenses and
maintenance be equal to one-half of the
’ gross receipts, it- will be seen that a ship
railway will be: much more profitable in-
vestment than a canal, whereas it should not
cost more than'a quarter as much. The gross
receipts must be the same in either case,
and' the railway can be completed in three
or four years, while it is safe to assume that
the canal wi‘l require five times as long.
The interest on the canal investment before
completion would therefore be enormously
greater than that on the railway. A single
track railway with provision for side tracks
to enable the cars to pass each other atiprop-
cr points on the road, would, I th'nk, be
ample to. meet the demands of commerce at
. the isthmus for many years to come."{
ibility ofbis project to the. satisfaction of
difficulty in raising the money required. 'It
weald all be subscribed in the Unitep States.

Bani) Ham—Cover your ham 'with cold
water and simmer gently, just long'enough
to loosen the skin so that it can be pulled
off; this will probably be in from three to
four hours, according to the size of your
ham; when skinned put in a dripping pan
in the oven. pour over it a teacup of vinegar
and one of Murder, in which dissolve a
teaspoonful of English mustard ; , bake. slow-
ly, hosting with the liquid every few min—
utes for two hours; then cover the, ham all
over to the depth of one-inch with coarse
brown sugar, press it down with your hand
firmly, and do not taste again until the sugar
_ has formeda. thick crust, which it will soon
do in a very slow oven; let it remain a full
hour in after covering with sugar, until it
' becomes arich golden brown. When done
drain from the liquor in the pan and put on
a dish to cool ; when it is cool, but not cold,
press, by turning another fiat dish on top,
with a weight over it. You will never want
local ham any other way when you have
once tasted this,and the pressing makes it cut
firmly fer sandwiches.
Knmxuss A'l‘ Home—It is home business
which is the test of goodness. A pleasant
order to the wornout servant “not to hurry"
won't delay the supper; a sympathetic lov-
ing kiss to the languid-looking mother will
do her more good than wine. A little praise,
a little wonder as to how she manages to
keep the house so cool and clean, and en-
dure all the worry of the nursery, will make
her happy. If some only knew how good
a word in season is, they would give it of—
tencr, and get in exchange miles and kisses,
and pleasant little acknowledgments. A
day has a great many good things in its gifts,
but the key [to them all is renunciation and
unselfishness.

papers. sOmc 0f the remedies seem so harm-
less in themselves, and so well vouched for,
that we have been tempted into giving them
currency in these columns; and this gives
us an additional reason for urging people
to respect the rule, founded on common
sense and experience: “Every man to his
trade.” . - '

ren’s shoes, and a barbcrto but their hair.
entrust our business arbitrations to alaw-
yer. Why should we assume the infinitely
more complicated and responsible task of
mending or repairing bodies that are out of
order, or of managing our own casein the
c iurt of Nature?
We have frequently entered a protest
against the habit of ,“dosing.” Some people
are never contented unless they are pouring
nostrums of some sort down their threats.
or experimenting with a new kind of patent
medicine. Others have a nervous and over—
anxious care of their children. If they talk
in their sleep, or sneeze, or have a touch 0f
colic, they must be shut up and “declared.”
All this sort of blind, thoughtlessfignorant
practice is contrary to nature, and is worse
than no medicine. Wauth, quiet, sleep,
and a corrected diet, will enable people to
get well, under proper conditions, from all
the ordinary ailments of life. The most that
intelligent physicians do now-a-days, in such
cases, is to see that Nature has a fair chance.
They do not not give a grain of medicine
where the old-time doctors used to‘ give a
pound. '
But in cases of actual and severe illness—
dangerous epidemic diseases, and the like,—
there is no time to lose in experimenting.
Take that dreadful scourge, diptheria, for
example. It has so baflied the profession
that every intelligent physicians eagerly
seeks out and examines all the latest discov-
eries in relation to its treatment. The med—
ical journals and conventions keep the pro—
fession advised of whatever progress is made
in any country, and in all schools, in the.
treatment of diptheria; and if any physician
anywhere is saving 90 per cent. of his pa-
tients they will not be the last to know of
it. It is a disease that demands instant
treatment. If curable at all, one day’s start

A Queer Deception.
The police and military of Oran, Algeria,
undertook a campaign against bandits last
month. They were led by all the civil and
military oflieers of the town, and its entire
population took a holiday'to witness their
labors. Going to one 'of the suburbs they
carefully surrounded a ravine wherein is. the
outlet of a large sewer into which the smaller
drains of the town debouch. Some gardeners
working in the ravine had heard the sounds
of voices escaping from this sewer, and had
informed the town authorities that it was the
lurking-place of robbers who had for months
been making successful raids upon the strong
boxes of the good people of Oran. When the
ravine had been inclosed, and it had been
made certain that the malefaetors were hem-
med in, a sergeant and two zouaves were
sent to the mouth of the sunken sewer to
summon them to surrender. ,
“Surrender yourselves i” the sergeant cried.
“Surrender yourselves !" a deep voice replied
from within the dark cavern. Making up
his mind that the robbers were determined to
fight, the sergeant cried to a police inspector
in the rear, “Pass me my revolver.” His
words were repeated in the cavern, and the
dently that of a fearless, resolute person. At
the same time there was a mockery iu the
tone and in the repetition of his language that
angered the valiant sergeant,who said wrath-
fully: “You impudent sons of guns," (co-
qui'ns). The epithets were hurled back at
the sergeant and his two supporters, who,
with much astonishment. heard themselves
called, “You impudent sons of guns.”
Puzzled by this extraordinary condu ct,the
sergeant, not knowing what else to do to con-
ceal the fact that he and his subordinates had
been called bad names by the fellows in the
drain, went to his superiors and told them he
believed the bandits wanted to parley with
their beseigers. Then the special representa-
tive of the Republic of France, M. Viala,and
the mayor of Oran, and chief 'of police.»and
the major in command of the military went
to the mouth of the sewer. Each in turn
spoke to the robbers, and all received satis-
factory answers, couched, strangely enough,
in the same terms they had themselves used.
Night fell before the parlcying was done,and
the robbers gave no indication of an intention
to issue from their retreat and surrender
themselves. The police and military block-
adcd them all night, and about 4,000 towns-
people watehed the siege with interest. In
the morning it was determined to risk a com-
bat with thc thieves. The police, armed to
the very teeth, therefore boldly entered the
cavern. They searched its smallest nook
and innermost recess, and found—not even
the shadow of a robber. The acoustic prop-
erties of the sewer were tested and a number
of facetious' echoes were found to masquer-
ade as talkative brigands and impudent re-
spondents to the summons of justice.
fl
Miss Mary Anderson, talking to a reporter
of The Mohaille Courier-Journal the other
day, said of Sarah Bernhardt, that “She
slept in a cofiin continuously for three years.
She does not do so now. I asked her why
she gave up the habit. She said she had
grown tired of‘ It, as the coflln was uncom-
fortable. She said she wished to familiarize
herself with the thought of death. I saw her
boudoir. The carpet was of black velvet,
with flowers in silver, the furniture cov-
ered with black velvet, and the walls cart
011st decorated -in the same fashion. A
skeleton of a'mau who she said had died of
fingers pointing at its own reflechn. In
large bowls about the room rose leaves
were heaped, the fragrance that arose being
overpowering. I could not remain in the.
the room, it was so suggestive of hairible
thoughts.”

The Woman who Falls to Pieces.
She came to the stations. little late, and
had to make a rush for the train. When
she reached her sent her but fell off. She
got it on, but it toppled over to one side,
and when she tried to straighten it up her
hair came tumbling down. She lost her
ticket twice before the conductor yeached
her, and would have lost it again if he hadn't
taken it away from her. She reached up to
put a bundlejin the racanboveber head, and
burst her collar button off duster and stuck
her fingers on four pins in her hair dress
before she couldfind one that she dared
take out to repair the damage. Then just
as she thought she had got comfortably set-
tled her little hand valise, packed to bursting
with enough things to load a Saratoga trunk
to the muzzle, exploded, and she nearly
worked herself into fragments getting it
together again. Then by the time she got
the valise shut up her hat tumbled off again
and by the time she got the hat straightened
back into its place, her hair tumbled down
again,
twisted up, and harpooned it withhair
a couple of hair pins, the valise went off,
'and when she got off at New Prague, she
tucked the gaping valise under her arm, and
tried to corral her toppling hat and wander-
ing hair with one hand, and as she went
fluttering and strangling into the depot, one
couldn’t help thinking that it would be safer
and more convenient to run her in‘sections
and flag her against everything. I have
seen} these women on several other trains,
and she has never been able to keep herself
together. She keeps you in a state of ago-
nizing suspense, for you never know where
she is going to give way next.

The Bottom Drops Out.
An incident occurred at Bow Park farm jof
George Brown, of the Toronto Globe.) about,
four miles from this city, a few days since
which crentcd quite an excitement in the
neighborhood. When darkness settled down
over the scene the evening before there were
no signs of what occurred during the silent
watches of the night. ' The river wound peace-
fully along and the road leading to the home-
stead was as firm as a rock. In the night one
of the employees heard a deep rumbling
sound. In the morning he told what he had
the shock of an earthquake. The mystery
was soon solved, for on proceeding along the
roadway a sight that struck amazement into
every witness was revealed. 'An acre or more
of the earth had sunk nearly forty feet. and
the tips of the trees were just visible on the
level with the surface. The earth on the sides
of the chasm is perpendicular, and the query
is where has that acre of land gone to? It is
Some think that it is caused by a quicksand
bottom and others that the river had washed
it stratum out beneath. Whatever the cause
the occurrence is a startling one in our staid
and tranquil neighborhood.~—antf 111,0111.

A Baby in a Panther-’8 Jaws.
Last Thursday evening, about dark, Mr.
were sitting on the porch of the Soda
Springs Hotel, at Soda Springs, on the Sac-
ramento;River, while Mr. Campbell's little
boy, aged about three years, was across the
road, about 50 or 60 feet distant, amusing
himself with cutting bushes with a little
hatchet. Those on the porch were startled
and horrified by observing a panther spring
upon the child, and at the time supposed
he was dangerously injurgl, which would
have been the case, no doubt, had not the
for one or two horses.witli the late improvements ,

child screamed and those on the porch
shouted excitedly, which prevented the
panther from making a deadly spring, as
he was evidently watching and fearing the
parties on the porch. As it was the panther
seized the child by the chin, one of the
tusks of the upper jaw. cutting his lip, and
one in the lower jaw cutting his neck, while
the paw of the beast struck and scratched
him in the breast. ’ The shouting and rush-
ing toward. the child by those on the porch
caused the panther to make tracks up the
mountain speedily, and, after picking up
the child and examing the wounds inflicted,
Mannon. returned to the house for his gun,
and following it up the mountain, soon de—
spatcbed the panther, a hungry, lean—looking
customer measuring five feet from tip to tip.

has been the advanced guard of religion for

were awakened; over twenty became deeply
interested, of whom several have found
