CUTTING SIMPLON TUNNEL. Work Going on—Great Coring Should bo Open In 1C94. Very great progress has been made with the tunnel under the Slmpion, which should be open for traffic in 1904. The total cost when both tun nels are completed will be about $309 a lineal yard of single-line tunnel. A correspondent says it will be 12 >4 miles long. The Mont Cenis tunnel has a lengtli of nearly eight miles, and all trains have to attain an alti tude of 4,248 feet above, the sea level. The Arlberg is GVj miles In length, with a height of 4,300 feet. The St. Gothard is 9 1-3 miles, with a maxi mum altitude of 3,783 feet. The Sirn plon will have tho great advantage over tho others that its traffic has not to be taken to a greater altitude than 2,314 feet above the sea level, or 1,474 feet less than in the case of 4. the St. Gothard, so that no costly ap proaches nor helical funnels are re quired to gain access to the tunnel at its north end nor will the haul age of trains be so heavy as In tho y-- case of the other tunnels. The work f will at first consist of one single line tunnel, lined with masonry through* out, and one parallel passage 10 feet wide by 8 feet high, preparatory to a second tunnel placed G6 feet apart, axis from axis. When the traf fic necessitates a second tunnel It can be completed for about one-third of the cost of the first tunnel. Tho ex perience gained during the construc tion of the previous tunnels Is be ing turned to very good account, and Is resulting In a great saving of llfo, In much groatly abbreviating tho period of construction. The men change shifts every eight hours, and are brought out In trainlcads. They are not allowed to enter the cold At pine air when emerging from the tun nel In their wet clothes, but are land ed in a covered building or station, in which there are cubicles for chang ing their clothes, fitted with hot and cold douche baths. They take off their mining clothes, which are at once hung up In heated rooms to dry, ready 1 for the noxt day's work. Adjacent is a restaurant at which they can get meals of excellent quality at a very low price. Everything Is kept in an excellent state of order and cleanli ness, and tho organization through out is qulto wtihout precedent. Tho Italian workmen object to resting on Sunday, as they are eager to remit their wages home to their families. Short Name Got Him a Place. N. L. Chew, of Indiana, assistant auditor of the treasury for the post ofllce department, obtained his posi tion because of his name. The fact is that the assistant auditor of the treas ury department for tho postolfice de partment spends from 40 to 50 days every quarter signing his name to Wan rants. He signs at the rate of 5,000 or 6,000 a day. It can readily be seen that Mr. Chew can earn more money for the government by signing his name than could Edgar D. Crumpaclc er, the Indiana congressman. He got the Job because he had a short name. He can save three or four days in the month over A. L. Dawshe, his prcde -A ' cessor, although Mr. Lawshe was a $ very rapid writer. Samoa's Official Chaperon. The chaperon Is becoming extinct here, but she is an important person In Samoa. She is the constant com panion of the toupou, or village guide, who Is appointed to entertain strang ers and show thom tho various sights.

Her house is provided for her by the village and she Is surrounded by n court of native girls. No man who lives in the village is allowed to en ter the sacred precincts, and the tau pou goes nowhere without an elderly woman. If the taupou resigns her of fice the chief can appoint another damsel of high degree. WHERE DOOTOnS FAIL Jt To Cure Woman's Ills, Lydia E. Pinkliam's Vegetable Com pound Succeeds.

Qnvo Not tlio Knack of Doing r.irlor Trickrt, But Have Tlielr Share of Use ful, ISverytlay Wisdom— Did You liver See a Dead Mule? Patience, calmness, attending to his own business, frugality and faithful ness, have earned for tho mule the rep utation of stupidity. He has become marked ns the dimce and blockhead among animals. So long has the mule rested under this charge of mental dul ness that his long ears have become a mark of lack of intelligence. Unjust comparison with his near relative has made "horse-sense" a term of compli ment to men. And It seems that all the time the mule lias been suffering under undeserved reproach, for the man who knows the beast of sharp an gles and exaggerated curves values him above the horse In practical intelli gence, and believes tliat patince, lack of nerves anil the faculty of attend ing to busiuess have been misunder stood for absence of sense. Animal trainers take not to mules, and the horse shows know them not, for they are always beasts of burden and do their playing among themselves after working hours. Tlicy may not have the knack of doing parlor tricks, but they have their share of useful, everyday wisdom. Everyone knows that horses can linrdly be forced out of a burning stable. Terror-stricken, tbey tremble with every nerve bred Into tliem and wait for the flames. Seven or eight years ago Sparks Bros.' liorse and mule barn burned near the stock yards. Robert Booth, of Sparks Bros., says some of the horses were dragged out, after much work, only to tear themselves loose and run hack to burning barn. Wherever there was an avenue of escape for tlie mules tliey came out without help or urging. Two of the long-eared animals showed hotel experience, jumping through windows four feet above tlie ground. "Which showed the horse sense?" Mr. Eooth asked. "The mule can be relied on to keep his head under circum stances in which a horse of any grade would practically commit suicide from excitement." The mule shows Ills sense even when he grows wicked. Let a pair of horses run away, and there Is a good bill for repairs or for a new wagon awaiting the owner, lie is even thankful If not called on to pay for other vehicles wrecked in collisions with Ills own, and is happy to find thr.t his horses have escaped with a few cuts. When mules run away, the mule men say, they keep the road and simply run till they get tired. The man In the wagon who knows will sit quietly and let them do the driving. They avoid telegraph poles and drug store win dows like the pest and can turn cor ners in better curves and with more safety to what they're dragging than the man who's riding so fast. Calm minds are not usually quick, and by tlie time the pair are growing tired of tlieir sprint., tliey decide that the runaway is over. Nobody hurt, no blacksmith's bills. Tliey used "horse sense." A horse seldom forgets a runaway; the mule, apparently, never remembers it. A mule will wait six years to get a good, square kick at a man. That, the mule men say, is another foundation less tradition of the unlearned. They declare most solemnly flint tlier> is less danger of sudden death from a mule than from a liorse. As for kick ing in harness, a practice not uncom mon among horses of even the best breeding, the mule does not know the feeling of lioof against tlie dnshbonrd. True, even the friends of the long eared do not waste much time in cur rying the hind legs, hut that, tliey say, Is because the mule needs compara tively little of the comb aurl brush. His coat is shorter, coarser, and not so full as that of the liorse. mid lie is by nature cleaner. Mules like to wallow, but not in mud, as do the horses. In the sale barns at the stock yards tlie mangel's of the mules are filled with food, and tho animals eat what they want and quit. The liny aud grain might ho mountain high and they would not be tempted. The horses are given 110 more than tliey are sup posed to need, for tliey haven't the tem perance of their hard-working broth ers. With no limit to the food before them they might eat to the foundering point and then not cat again for two weeks. Many horses are injured for ever by foundering, A mule eats much less than a horse of equal strength and wastes nothing. Before crossing a strange bridge tlie average mule will look it over ns if estimating its strength and then wall; over cautiously. Nor can it be forced Into ft stream without careful vecon ucissnr.ee. If he decides that lie can't stt im It he refuses to budge until nyin force Is used. Ho is using discretion and Is cursed for his "mullshness." The mule is always a useful citizen. After a neglected youth he begins to work, and that's his life story. He will do ns much work nt thirty ns he did the first year he wore harness. Then some morning he may bo found in Ills stall dead. He is seldom an Invalid. Work to the last day and 110 doctor bill, is his law. Tlie pension system under which many an old liorse is spending Ills idle days in a clover field Is unknown to the mule. The only say ing of any popularity to contain n good word for tile male Is: "Did you ever see n dead mule?" No one except tlie mule dealers can say he lias, and tlie traders won't admit It. That little ques tion speaks eloquently for the maligned animal's life tendency. A pair of mules are supposed to outlive two pall- of draught horses, and tlie big concerns that use them are beginning fo realize IL One Kansas City packing company using hundreds or wagons here nnd at its branch houses is gradually replacing the horse with the inule. In the Southern cotton fields the mule is used nearly exclusively, and not because the Southerner has less love for a horse, but because the mule alone can stand the work, 'iliey are bought in Kansas City by dealers from the cotton section, and sold to negro ten ants. From then on the mule hustles largely for himself. The small negro farmer gives him no corn, little food and many beatings. The ten-bale cot ton field Is the one experience that makes the animal die young. Three to 'five years of clubbings and nearly ab solute self-support end the life of hard ship and injustice. A horse generally lasts a year in the same surroundings. The Boer war served to make the mule of higher market value than the everyday draft horse, but at the same time brought a new charge against his intelligence. Some English General laid the loss of a battery to the fact that the mules, when hit, ran straight to the Boer lines, carrying the guns with them. "Had the English troops not been surprised," said one of the men at the * market, "those animals would never have carried the cannon away. As usual, the British were marching with their eyes shut, and when the mules were hit they ran straight ahead. With the battery in action the animals would have been unhooked and behind the guns. In that case the runaway would have been to ward home. I'll admit horses, after having been wounded, would not have run away with the guns. They would have fallen and kicked one another to death. That English officer should have blamed himself and his scouts for the loss of his battery. Still, we can't expect mules to suplant horses in war—they don't look well in poetry." —Kansas City Star. Ho Wasn't Tli.ro Yet. Wherever one may go, in factory, office or store, there are always some employes who, no matter If they reach their places of employment ahead of time, in the morning or at noon, make it a point never to begin work until the clock strikes, the whistle blows or the bell rings. Shortly before 1 o'clock a few days ago a saleswoman In a large dry goods store n this city, having made a sale, had occasion to call for a cash boy. No one responded to her summons. Just then she espied a boy sitting a short distance from where she stood. "Here, boy," said she to the little fel low, "take this to the counter and have it done up." "I ain't here yet," replied the young ster, with the utmost coolness and un concern. As the woman could not induce the boy to stir she was obliged to call for another.—Milwaukee Sentinel. Funny Things Thut Escape. W. J. Arkell complains thut most really funny things happen outside of the comic papers and don't get rounded up and brought in. One morn ing he was at the telephone in his office, apparently having trouble of his own trying to communicate with some body : "What? Speak up! Can't under stand a word! Say, give me that all over again, please!" Then he turned to those about him and said: "I'll bet the wires are crossed again. This telephone service is getting worse and worse." Another fruitless effort, and then a sudden light broke in upon him: "Well, that's the limit! Do you know what's the mntter with the wire? The fellow at the other end that's try ing to talk to me stutters." —New York Times. Water Collects l'olsonous Gas. Here is something every one should know. A peculiar property about ice cold water is thut it attracts to itself a large quantity of the poisonous gases which are exhaled through our lungs and pores. The colder the water the greater its capacity for holding impur ities, and water which has stood during the nigiit in a close bedroom is highly injurious to drink. At a normal temperature a pitcher of water will, under these circumstances, probably contain (in the morning) from a pint to a pint and a half of carbonic gas and a larger proportion of am monia; wbeu nearly at freezing point its capacity for imbibing poisons is doubled. IJon'ts. Don't preach unless you practice. Deeds are more convincing. Don't shout into the inoffensive ear of a foreigner. To do so never made any one more readily understood. Don't mistake flippancy for wit, for there is a mighty difference between the two. Don't howl or roar; gentlemen laugh when they are amused. Don't confound hauteur with digni ty. One wins dislike, the other re spect. Don't groan over the wickedness of this world, but mend your own. Don't tell too much, and be careful to whom you tell anything at all.— Philadelphia Record. Royalty's Gastronomic Stantlhys. In most royal households there is some particular dish which is never ab sent from the table. For instance, roast mutton and boiled chickens—the latter, I am told, seldom costing less than fifteen shillings a pair—always figured, both at luncheon and at dinner at Queen Victoria's table. Muttou cut lets generally make their appearance at the Emperor William's supper, at which meal large cups of tea also figure conspicuously.

Duluth, Minn., is a peculiar city. Its population is about 70,000, yet the length of the incorporated town along the lake front is twenty-eight miles. Its width ranges from one to two miles. A house built of buttons is the latest thing In architecture, and a certain French musical celebrity is building it. The walls, the ceilings, the doors, the exterior nnd the interior are all orna mented with buttons of every descrip tion. Every country has been ran sacked, nnd some very curious speci mens are reported to have been brought to light. The City of New York, through its charities department, engages quite ex tensively in agriculture. During the summer of 3001 the official harvest was GO bushels of onions, 41 bushels of rhubarb, 00 bushels of beans, 25 hush els of parsley, 41 bushels of carrots. 2 bushels of radishes, 4740 heads of cab bage, 2307 heads of lettuce, 17 bushels of spinach, 35 bushels of peas, 35 bush els of beets, 3 bushels of tomatoes, 17 bushels of leeks, 4021 ears of corn, 313 squashes and 057 cucumbers, On the Mangishlak peninsula, In the Caspian Sea, there are five small lakes. One of them is covered with salt crys tals strong enough to allow a man and beast to cross the lake on foot; another is as round as any circle and a lovely rose color. Its banks of salt crystal form a setting, white as the driven snow, to the water, which not only shows all the colors from violet to rosy red, but from which rises a perfume as of violets. Both the perfume and the color are the result of the presence of seaweeds, the violet and the pink. The first application of steam, for the purpose of propelling honts, was accomplished by Robert Fulton, a na tive of the State of Pennsylvania. Mr. Fulton's inventive genius displayed it self at an early age. It seems that as early as the year I7fi3 he had conceived the idea of propelling vessels by steam, nnd lie speaks in some of his writings with great confidence of Its practica bility. After a number of years' resi dence in Europe, nnd making a variety of experiments both in that country and this, his labors were finally crowned with success. The Lake of Neuchatel is the largest in Switzerland not bounded by any for eign country. It has a superficies of 334 square miles. Its greatest depth is 512 feet, and just opposite the little village of Auvernier, close to Neucha tel, there is a burled mountain, eight een feet below the surface. The little mountain rises in the middle of the lake, opposite the mouth of the Arouse, to a height of 3SO feet from the bottom. A huge enterprise is, it is rumored, on foot to erect a hotel on the top of this mountain. According to an estimate prepared by a leading engineer the cost of filling in to the requisite level and then erecting such an establish ment would be about $150,000. Polyglot Newspapers. Throe curious polyglot periodicals are now being published. One is the China Times, whieli is regularly printed in seven languages. It is published In the capital of China, and the languages In which it appears are the English, French, German, Ital ian, Russian, Japanese and Chinese. Another polyglot paper is the Aus trian semi-monthly, entitled Acta Com paratlouis Llterarum Universarum. It has correspondents nnd subscribers all over tlie world, and 1 lie contributions of the former are invariably printed In the language of the countries from which they are sent. As a result it frequently happens that in one number of the paper there are articles in twen ty-five or thirty languages. The third polyglot paper is the Tan tolodion Magazine, which is published in St. Petersburg, and which contains critical essays regarding the new books published throughout the world. Each of these essays is printed In the lan guage of the country where the new book of which the essay treats ap peared. Thus a review of an Ameri can book is printed in English, a re view of a French book is printed in French, and so on. One number of this periodical has contained articles In fifteen different languages, namely, German, French, English, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, Swedish, Danish, Hungarian, Roumanian, Rus sian, Servian, Bohemian and rolish. An Epidemic Among tho Murre*. It is stated that during the past sea son an epidemic has prevailed among the murres of the Pribilof Islands, and that the birds, which are found there in vast numbers, have perished by thousands. The first intimation of disease was the presence of birds about the village of St. Paul, close In short, so weak that they were readily taken by the children. Later, dead birds washed ashore in such numbers that 212 were counted ill 150 yards, while steamers from St. Michael's reported passing through large quantities of dead birds. This recalls the epidemic which has twice prevailed among the cormorants of the Commander Islands, greatly reducing th fir numbers.
