Alps, which is by far the greatest
tunnel in the world, the quantity of
water flowing out of the southern
end, from the many veins encoun
tered in the heart of themountain,
amounted to 15,000 gaij6ns a mm

to compress the air by which the
drills were worked, and to refrigerate
the tunnel. The necessity for refrig

that the heat in the deeper partis of
the tunnel rose as high as i50 de

The mayor of - Youngstown,
Ohio, was elected on' a rreafc plat
form. His platform provided for
jailing any citixen who aid taxes
I under a recent revaluation; for dis
j continuance of street car service
turning the streets over to jitney
buses, and the dismissal ot the en
tire police force if it "aia noi mend
its ways." He has lived in Youngs
town only Aree months, starting in
business there with a barrel of po
tatoes and a wheelbarrow. Now he
has a big business.

Lost Sent Home By Post.
English people commonly admit
that Americans know London better
than they do themselves, but there
are exceptions to, the knowledgeable
nss of the brother from across the
seas. Witness the American who
could not find his way back to his
hotel" from the intricate mazes of
the East End. Going into a post
office, he asked how he could get
back. "We can post you back," was
the immediate and surprising
answer, and in a few minutes he was
on his way hme by express letter
post, in charge, that is to say, of a
diminutive boy. Even Londoners
are often still unaware that the Brit
ish postal authorities accept human
beings as "correspondence," and that
whatever the weight or size, a flat
rate of sixpence a mile Is charged.

Among Welsh miners it is a su
perstition that when a new man is
taken on at a mine he is never to be
permitted to go down with the first
shift. He must go down with the
last shift, otherwise misfortune will
follow.

fi;tLer as his fcank, for when she
readies, a uVarrlai;-eable age so many
-ut le will 'have to be handed over for
Lei- by tlie bridegroom, iys a write!
Ln the London Daily Mail.
Tluie is little of love and romance
11 a Kasuto pirJ's marriage. This is
not to say that she has no feeHngs
or does not huir the call of romance.
Li!;e every girl in this world, thest
thinjrs come into her life and shfe
thiuks and dreams as we all do.
Ujt tht re is no wooing or winning
and none of the beauty of realized
young dreams for her.
The man who wants her does not
couFult her he has known her and
she probably pleased his eye, and so
the dusky Hendriks goes to the father
and ays that he wishes to marry
Mai una.
The matter is then discussed by the
heads of the family and their rela
tions, and the girl gets to know of th
coming marriage only by a chance
word that may be dropped here and
there.
Generally the principal point of dis
cussion among the heads of the fam
ily is how many cows and sheep are
to be handed over to the father by
the bridegroom as "lobola" (a mar
riage dowry) for the girl.
This being arranged usually a pay
ment of so many cows down and so
many to be handed oyer later the girl
is informed that Hendriks is to be
her husband for better or for worse
generally worsfe and whether he be
quite an old man or a young man
Maluma has to sacrifice, herself and
go as she is told.
The young natives living near civil
ization have discarded the old cus
tom and marry without "lobola" being
paid over.
The marriage takes place in a na
tive church. The wedding party and
the guests are all dressed in European
clothes and they return' from the
church by wagon to the hut of the
girl's father on his master's farm,
.where sheep have been slaughtered
and much Kaffir beer made, and danc
ing and singing go on continually for
two days.
he music is made by a concertina
and guitar, and in all Basuto dances
the male and female never dance together.

Calomel
swells the tongue, loosens the teeth
and starts rheumatism. There's no
reason why a person should take
sickening, salivating calomel when
a few cents buys a large bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone a perfect sub
stitute for calomel. It is a pleasant
vegetable liquid which will start
your liver as surely as calomel, but
it doesn't make you slc& and can
not salivate.
Calomel is a dangerous drug, be
sides it' may make you feel weak,
sick and nauseated tomorrow. Don't
lose a day's work. Tafce a spoonful
of Dodson's Liver Tone instead and
you will wake up feeling great. No
salts necessary. Your druggist says
if you don't find Dodson's Liver
Tone acts better than treacherous
calomel your money is waiting for
you.
The Chesapeake Bay blue crab,
the largest speciman found along the
Atlantic coast, is considered the best.
While these crustaceans were very
plentiful a few years ago, it is becom
ing evident that unless a "closed
season" s declared they will become
as rare and high priced as terrapin.
The little pea crabs, found within
oyster shells are consdered a deli
cacy, while the cancer magister, the
large-crab of the Pacific coast, is ex
tensively used for food in that part
of the country.

No Solitude for Him.
Highland Light, on a cliff 90 feet
above the sea at the tip end of Cape
Cod, is credited with being the scene
ot v. real tragedy.
The profoundly, moving story con
cerns Bill, one of the , keepers of tht
light, and incidentally one of the guides
to the hundreds of tourists who
flock to the lighthouse. Bill, ac
cording to his own version of the af
fair, formerly worked on a railroad.
He used to be a conductor, and he
necessarily came in contact with many
people. In fact, there never was a
time when he did not have people
around, and Bill grew weary of hi:
kind. Looking about for a more desirable
occupation he hit upon lighthouse
keeping as the perfect job for a man
who wanted solitude. And it just
happened such things do happen
that instead of the lonely spot he
hoped for. Bill drew Highland, one of
the most frequented spots of the great- 1
ly frequented cape. Every motor-
I car going to or from Provincetown
I stops there, and in .addition buses
from two or three companies make
the trip daily from Provincetown. And
Bill's life now is one long business of
guiding young women iip the narrow
stairs of the lighthouse and of explain
ing to them what it is that makes jTi
the wheels go around. Bill is bearing ?
up under it, but he feels that fate has
not dealt fairly with him. Brockton
