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

Each village in Samoa elects a girl

Her house is provided for her by the
village and she Is surrounded by n

THE MULE IS NOT A FOOL
IN THAN ONE WAY HE IS
THAN THE HORSE.
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."

Ho Wasn't Tli.ro Yet.
Wherever one may go, in factory,

their places of employment ahead of

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

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.

The first application of steam, for

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

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

Polyglot Newspapers.
Throe curious polyglot periodicals are

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

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

An Epidemic Among tho Murre*.
It is stated that during the past sea

disease was the presence of birds about
the village of St. Paul, close In short,

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

dead birds. This recalls the epidemic
which has twice prevailed among the

ventriloquil sounds on the stage by
means of a telephone. The receiver
is placed in the mouth of the dummy
figure and the voice hoard is not that

have varied their performances of lalo
by the introduction of stuffed pigs,
horses, dogs and other animals, which
appear to join in the "conversation."
In these instances the telephonic
method greatly assists in producing

ness and sick headaches. One day
a friend asked me what the trouble
was. When I told him he recom
mended Ripans Tabules. That

At druggists.
