There are few women in the City whose work deserves better of the public than Sister Coru’s. For years she has been work- | quietly away, persevering faithfully | lower strata of society for the eleva- | tion and relief ofthose whom fortune has forgotten. Without asking a word of en- couragement or a lLope of earthly in- dorsement, the ‘‘good angel’’ of the poor has been laboring for the bare physical needs of her charges. To provide food and clothing for the orphan, to see that the toiling mothers and their bungry off- spring are not rendered desperate by want, to comfort the sinful, raise up the hopeless, inspire the slaves of degraaed habit—these have been the problems | which daily and nightly beset the thoughts of Sister Cora. | For pure love of her fellow-creatures she | bas given her life to their relief. Among those who have. watched her | Jabors with sympathy and admiration | that often caused a heartache are the | onesses of the present benefit.

A Commuting Suburbanite’s Invention for Waterproofing His Footgear. It was still snowing and the sidewalks were covered ankle-deep with snow when 1wo commuters met on their way from the ferry. Vhew!” said one. “This isa corker, isn’tii? Let's go in and have something to drink."” They went into a place that was hands and while the bartender was preparing their potions the genial heat of the place was melting down the anow that they had brought in with them. Glancing down at his companion’s feet, one of them evinced surprise and exclaimed: | ‘My! Isnhounld think vou would catch | your death of cold with such thin shoes on and no overshoes *‘Oh, no!” said tne other, I have worn these same shoes right along turough all the snow, <lush and mud of the pasttwo months, 'and haven't had my feet wet even, except the first time I cot caught in a rain with them on, and the most curious part of that is that_the soles are made of some sort of stuff that in its natural state absorbs water likea sponge. ‘“The first time L got caught in the wet | with thes: sho2s on gave me a remarkab:e experience. 1 had worn the shoes only a couple of times, and as they came from a | reputable dealer I supposed there were of | good quality and wonid withstand atleast a little water. My first surprise was caused by the fact that I had not walked a block in the rain before I felt that the | water had soaked up througn the soles, | and that the bottoms of my feet were as | wet as if I had been barefooted. Then I | found another peculiarity develop, and | this was a source of great danger to me. | The soles grew as soft and flexiole as wet parchment, and the heels of the shoes and the soles also felt as if they were greased. My feet went slipping and sliding out from under me, and 1 had to walk with more care over the plain wet pavement than wounld have been neces- sary on smooth ice. 1had to keep every | muscle of my legs tense and never let my center of gravity get beyond my heels or toes or I should have ialien. I had about a dozen blocks to walk, and at the end I w all tired out by the tension. | ‘The next day [ examined these soles. They lookea like leather, but were so soit and of such weak material that I could | zouge piec 8 out of them with my thumb- nsil. 1 feltso mach interested in them that I went down into the Swamp about the Brooklyn bridge to find out whatthey were, The dealers told me they were leather | but of a kind that is generally discaraed for | | soles or any other important purpose. They were cuts irom the belly or neck of the bides, and the dealers assured me that I | was not mistaken about thsir ability to | absorb water or to slide. Tnen I deter- mined to experiment with them and see if I couldn’t make good water-oroof and non-slippable soles of them, and [ have succeeded. I made a mixture of real bee-s wax—not paraffine—and castor oil, half end half, melted it, and put it on the soles hot, and dried it in over the stove until the =oles wotld absorb no more ot it, I treated the uppers with castor oil alone. 1 can walk through slush all day now, and the soles won't even get wet to the touch; and they are wearing as well as the best oak-tanned leather, and a little touch of castor oil on the uppers now and then keeps them waterproof also, 1 have since met quite a number of people who have been swindled with these kind of sponge-soled shoes and recommended them tu try my remedy,”’— New York Sun. et ARG A Chiclfo man has patented an explo- eive propelling engine light enough to be attached 1o a bicycle and which needs only the use of the pedals for the first few revolutions, when combustion is started and power applied to a piston-rod work- ing on the axle of the rear wheel. - ADVANCES made on furniture and pianos with ro witkout removal.

This is the estab- lishment of & large fish hatchery by a rail- way company. It is certainlv an original departure made by A. W.

An Engineering Work That Is Still Useful After Four Th and Years. How many of the engineering works of the nineteenth century will there be in existence in the year 6000? Very few, we fear, and still less those that will continue | pur- | in that fur-off age to serve a useful pose. Yet there is at least one great undertaking conceived and executed by an engineer, which, during the space of 4000 years, has never ceased its office, on which the life of a fertile province abso- lutely depends to-day. We refer to the Bahr Joussuf—the canal ol Joseph—built, to tradiiion, by the son of i the v y blessings hLe conferred on vpt during the years of his prosperous is canal took its rise from the Nile at Asiut and ran almost_parallel with it for nearly 250 miles, creeping along under the western cliffs of the Nile Valley, with many a bend and winding, until at length it gained an emi as compared with the river bed, w enabled it to turn westward through a narrow pass and entar a district which was otherwise shut off from the fertilizing floods on which all vegeiation in Egypt depends. The north- ern end stood seventeen feet above low Nile, while at the southern end it was at ai elevation with the river.

In the | ersed by the streams of Marin, Sonoma, | Lake and Mendocino counties is at once apparent. | The streams, aggregating about 300 in number, have a total length of 6000 miles of water, over 3000 miles of which is open for excellent fishing. Heretofore the railroad company, real- | izing the value to itself of building up the fish supply in the section through which | its line passes, has been using frum 230,000 to 500,000 young trout annually for stock- | ing the sireams, with results guite satis- factory. The estab ishment of this inde- vendent hatchery was finally decided | upon. Eisewhere, under Government direc- | tion, or private enterprise of country | clubs, hatcheries have been maintained and streams stockea with fish, but no- where has a great railroad company | adopted, as an indirect means of bringing | its atiractions vefore the public, a plan | which will benelit the country ai large in | a much greater depree than the company itself can hope to be benefited. | The numerous catches in Mendocino, Sonoma and adjacent counties have ai- | ready attested the value of the work here- tofore accomplished, and with the in- creased facilities now afforded the section | will ere long prove a veritable paradise for | the sportsman. There are few men and women who do | trout of our mountain streams, a pastime exhilarating and bracing in_ its effecis, | acquainting one with the hidden ana halt- | undersiood beauties of mountain, wood | and stream. | In the city of Ukiah the greatest of in- terest has been taken in the new enterprise and, recognizing its value to the publie, the city has opened a broad avenue of | easy grade, reaching from the Court- | house o the canyon. | The novelty of watching the gradual | evolution of the finny hostin all the var- ious stages of deveiopment, atiracts to pot numbers of the townspeople, the place being within twenty minutes’ walk of the heart of the city.

All this, with the exception of the tradition that Joseph built it, can bs verified to-day, and it is not mere supposition or ramor. Until eight years ago it was firmly bee lieved that the design has always been limited to an irrigation scheme, larger, shown by the traces of abandoned ca and by ‘the slow aggregation of waste water which had accumulated in the Birkot el Querum, but still essentially the same in character. Many accounts have been written by Greek and Roman his- torians, such as Herodotus, Strabo, Muti- anus and Pliny, and repeated in monkish legends or portraved in the maps of the middle ages, which agreed with the folk lore of the distriet. These tales explained that the canal dug by the ancient Israelites served to carry the surplus waters of the Nile into an ex- tensive lake lving south of the Fayoum, and so Jarge that 1tnot only modified the climate, tempering the arid winds of the desert and converting them into the balmy ‘airs which nourished the vines and the olives into a fullness and fra rance un- known in.any part of the country, but also added to'the food supply of the iand such immernse qnantities of fish that the royal prerozative of the rizht of piscary at the great weir was valued at £250,000 annually.

QUESTION OF [HNTGRATION The American Federation of Labor Takes Up This Matter. It Has Been Presented to All the Unions in the United St .tes. Congress Will Be Asked to Act—Local Workingmen Are Greatly Interested. Within the next three months the union | labor element of this City, as well as that of the entire country, will have an important question to decide—whether foreign im- migration to this country shouid be re- stricted or stopped entirely. This ques- tion came up at the last convention of the American Federation of Labor held in December, 1895, That convention appointed a special committee for the purpose of considering the subject of immigration and to propose such legislation on the question as should practically set forth the dgmands of organ- 1zed labor in the premiss Daring the convention the committee made its report favorable to restriction. The delegates, however, acting upon the conviction that the question was ons on which the entire membership, in their sovereign capacity, should be -consulted, decided that the entire subject- matter should be submitted to the referendum.\ Acting upon these lines the president, Samuel Gompers, has issued a circular to the labor unions of the United States that are members of the federation asking for their opinion upon this subject. TIhe cir- cular has been sent to other unions than those of the federation. In bis letier Mr. Gompers says: The convention of the American Federation of Labor believed that before any further at- tempts at legislative action on this subj:ct should be made the voice of organized lubor should be heard in a distinctive and author- ized manner, so that in the future the officers intrustea with carrying out the wish of labor may have the knowledge that the workers have exp: their will in the matier and that there shall be no question as to the atti- tude on tnis great subject. The executive council having b-en dirccted te submit th question to a referendum of the members de- sire that the subject shall be fully understood by them. He said that in order to obtain a con- sensus of opinion uron the matter he would submit the following questions to the unions; 1. Does your organization favor amending the laws of the United States to restrict im- | niigration juore than it is now restricted? 2. Does your organization favor a provision in the law guarding agsinst ciminal and pauper elements enter; into the United States? 3. Should the foreign consular ser- vice and our Immigration Department be intrusted with greater powers o enforce immigration laws? 4. Should the vio- lation of the alien contract iabor law by em- ployers be punishabie by imprisonment? 5. Should the sceamship companies be held re- sponsible for a term of years for the character of their passengers? 6. Snould a stricter civil and educational test be enforced as to qualifi- cation for naturalization? 7. Should every immigrant be compelied to declare his juten- tion to become a citizen oi the United States? Whet other provision does your organization favor and suggest, if any, 10 further the re- striction of immigration? These circulars have arrived here and the members of the local unions are al- ready discussing the matter. Several local labor leaders declined to discuss the question, stating that the subject can only come properly up in their respective bodies. There, they say, the matter will be dis- cussed in all of its many features. The National convention of the Federation of Labor will be held in Nasnville, Tenn. next December, when the delegates w deal with the subject with a full knowl- edge of what the labor unions of the United States want. This federatio through the unions, represents something over 750,000 labor- ing men, and it is telieved that when Congress learns the wishes of this rapre- sentative body o! citizens it will listen to its voice. 1t is the desire of the president ol the federation 1o have the vote on the questions submitted returned rot later than October 30. Judging from the ex- pression of a numoer of well - known onion men it is safe 10 say that the ma- jority of the unions will vote in favor of restriction in some form or other. Itis also likely that not a few will express the opinion that immigration should be stopped altogether. MONKEYS GO TO CHURCH. Box Their Babies’ Ears When They Show Signs of Levity. The most singular audience that I ever saw gathered to listen to preaching w: an audience of monkeys. When I commenced work in the region which I have now occupied for more than thirty years, [ asked two fellow-missiol aries to join me in a pre:ching tour in the adjacent taluk or county. We first went with three native assistants to the taluk town or county seat. Qur tents were pitchea in a grove adjo.ning the town. ‘We usually, on our tours went two ana two to preach in the villages, but this be- ing the taluk town, and the first of our preaching the Gospel in that region, we went in a body into the native city. Walking through the cloth and iron merchants’ baz: then through the goldsmiths’ smiths’ streets, around through the temple sireet, and then through the streets of Brabman residences, to adver- tise our presence and incite curiosity to know what we were about, we finally took our stand in the Brahman street, and all joined in singing one of the beautiful Telugh Christian Iyrics, and gathered an audience of interesied listeners, We stood upon a little raised platform on one side of the street, against the house walls. The houses were all of one story, joined together like a city block, with flat roofs and a low parapet along the front of the roof. ‘One of our native assistants read a portion from the Gospels and another preached briefly, then vne of my fellow-missionaries followed, preach: ing more at length, while I watched the audience, to study the conntenances of the people among whom I expected to work. I had noticed that behind the houses on the ovposite side of the street there long row of trees growing in their back yards, the branches of which stretched out over the roofs. Chancing to raise my eyes, I noticed many branches of these trees beginnin; to bend aownward toward the roofs, an saw the faces of some old jack monkeys peering out through the foliage. Soon some of them jumped down and came for- ward to see what their *'big brot! ’in the street were about, as they stood gazing sointently at these white men standing on the platform. Springing upon the para- t they seated themselves, with their ind feet hanging over in front, and gaz- ing with fixeaness at the preacher, as they saw the people in the street doing. Other monkeys followed, until there was a lohg row of them s apet.

Two bicycles can be solidly coupled together by a newly patented compler, conmsting of three X braces, one set be ing attached 10 the rear hubs and the { t lower braces of the wheels near the crank | » shafts, a second from the back upright braces near the top to the heads, and the third set across the heaasof the machines. For use as a trainer and teacher a sim- ?’l' device now G into use has a | rame to rest on tbe floor bolding 1wo parallel rollers for the back wheel to rest on and one for the front wheel, the bicycle being braced by the rider as desired, the froni roller being attached to the inside back one by a chain belt to cause the front wheel to revolve for steering and balancing. A newly patented driving mechanism for bicycles is formed of two L-shaped members attacned at the bend of the L to the bottom braces of the frame just back of the crank shaft, the pedals being mounted in the long end und a bar run- ning from the short end to a shortened crank, thus permitting an up and down motion of the pedals and imparting greater force to the sprocket wheel. —_——— To Live Without Buying or Selling.
