An Undbegeound Canae. ■— “ The strangest canal in the world is the one I never saw mentioned in any book or newspaper,” said a clergyman to a St. Louis Globe writer. “It is a canal sixteen miles long, between Worsley and St. Helens, in the north of England, and is underground from end to bnd. In Lancashire the coal mines are very extensive, half the country being undermined, and many years ago the Duka of Bridgewater’s managers thought they con’d save money by transporting the coal underground instead of on the surface. So the canal was constructed the mines connected and drained at the same time. Ordinary canal boats are used, but the power is furnished by men. On the roofof the tunnel arch are cross pieces, and the men who do the work of propulsion lie on their backs on the coal and push with their feet against the crossbars on the roof. Six or eight men draw a train of four or five boats, and as there are two divisions in the tunnel, boats pass each other without difficulty.” The noted quality of the Coffee made in the Oaf6s of Turkey, France, and America is chiefly due to the fact that only Fresh Boasted Coffee is used ; so that none of the volatile oil and other essentials are lost. Ask your grboei'for Andbrson’s Coffee, and you will have a beverage alike refreshing and stimulating, as.it is fresh:roasted and ground at the[factory, Timaru.—[Advi.2J
