Lancet of recent date has an article on nicotine and inverts the\u201d order of injuriousness usually assoclat- ed with three forms of smoking.It states that nicotine itself has been proved by analysis to be practically guiltless of evil effects In smoking, but pyridine and Its relatives are responsible for headache, trembling and giddiness, The artlele proceeds to say that the degree of toxicity in the smoke proba bly depends largely upon the complete- | ness of combustion, The combustion of a cigarette 18 more complete than that of the pipe or the cigar.The pipe acts 2s a condenser, but the condensed products do not reach the mouth, while considerable condensation must occur Mi a cigar, the products reaching the mouth and being absorbed.Therefore The Lancet makes the order of

ADEN, The Curious Stary Cannected With the White House of Bnbeci-Mundeb, A Monument of (he Undoing oi a French Adsuiral, Cn the foreshore of the Arabinn coast ln the strait of Dab-el-Mandeb, at the sutithern entrance to the Red sen, stands a large white house concerning which the truvelers to the far east may \u2018hour a curious story, In the widdle of the nineteenth century, when M.de Lesseps, after many difliculties, lind successfully floated the Suez Canal company, the governor of the British port of Aden, about 100 miles distant, was surprised one morning by the visit of a Prereh squadron of very unusual size for that part of the orlent which, having encountered a territic stor off Fokotra, Lad put in for repairs, In the mind of the governor curiosity [was at once aroused as to the dJdestina- ! tion of so large a command, a eurlosity | which Increased as he found it finpossi- \u201cble to extract any further information | from the French aduwiral or lis oflicers i besend the statement that they were {upon an ordinary cruise, an explana- i tion which the former was not the least Inclined to believe.Firm in the Lelicf, therefore, that | some political move of great impor tance was afleat if not afoot, the gov- \u2018ernor, in order first of nl) to gain time, gave orders to go very tortoiselike on \"the repairs and then set to work to take j the Frenchmen off thelr guard by giving a succession of such entertainments as both his slender means and the aw- \"ful barrenness of the place would af- \u2018ford, | But though at the end of two weeks | the French and British oflicers had got upon the best of terms the immediate destination of the French squadron re- | mained as much of a mystery to the \u201cgovernor of Aden as before, and in i spite of all possible delay the repairs \"were nearly completed, Now, it happened tbat the wife of the governor possessed an Irish maid, who had been receiving attentions from one of the French petty ofiicers\u2014 attentions which the girl did not regard seriously.© It occurred to the governor that by such means something might be learned of his unexpected visitor's plans, amd a private conversation he- tween the governor's wife and her maid resulted in another between the latter and her French admirer, by which it was discovered that Perim fs- laud was the objective point.i At this information the governor \"opened his eyes wide indeed, for if the 3 canal were eut through.Perim, as mnding the southern entrance to ted sea, in the middle of the strait of Bab-cl-Mandel, would be a place of great strategic importance, over whieh, without doubt, it was the intention of the French admiral to hoist the tricolor.Secrefly giving orders.therefore, for a gunboat to iinmediately embark a detachment of soldiers and steal away in the night for Perim island, the governor then announced a farewell banguet and bail for the day but one following, a final act of courtesy with which the French admiral would willingly have dispensed, for he was anxious to sail, but which he could not well refuse on account of the use be had made of the British supplies and machinery at \u201cAden, So the dinner and party In due course cme of, the governor being in high spirits, because in the meantime be bad received the news of the occupation of Perim.which under the circumstances would surely be followed by the longed for promotion, and the French admiral was equally happy, for be hoped on the morrow to add the same important little speck of land to the dominion of his own country, thereby covering his breast with the stars and himself with maritime glory.Next day, after an Interchange of cordial farewells, the Freneh squadron sailed away to an apparently unknown destination, until, when clear of the land.the course was laid full speed direct for Perf island, Then what was the dismay and disappointment of the French admiral and i bis officers when, on coming In sight of their destination, they bebeld the Brit- lish flag flying and a company of sol- \u201cdiers drawn up to give them a proper (salute.It is sald the French admiral [was so mortified at belng thus outwit- (ted that be first flung his cocked hat overboard and then followed it bimself Into the sea.Be tbis as Ît may, ns Perim was clearly already occupled by the British, the only counter move which the French could make was to take posses- blen of n strip of the foreshore on the bpposite Arablan const, where they the built the fortiged white house in question, but as the place was entirely at the mercy of the guns on Pern Island ft was zhiortly abandoned, to remain to Ibis day as a mobument of a French sdmiral\u2019s undoing.\u2014 Exchange.inopportune, \u201c1 Just saw the young Widow Weeds.ihe looked

not give you, fer he has long since been guthered to his fathers.Let it sufliee that is bis Leyday he was one of the greatest tenors who ever sang to à Lrenthless and enthusi- astie audience.Ile Lad a penchant, however, for the red, red wine, which in the end proved his undoins and ultimately provided a pathetle ending for un otherwise great careur, In his prime bis drinking seemed only to affect his legs, hut never his head or volee.He could always sing and sing true, but at 1lmes he had no more ability to guide bis wandering footsteps than has a sufferer in the last stages of locomotor ataxia, At one time.when he was singing Faust to Emma Abbott's Marguerite, he appeared at the opera house in an apparently hopeless condition.The Management was will, but there was no one to take his place, and so they had to chance it with him as Faust, All went well until they came to that scene where Faust, in lonving Marguerite, crosses the stage and then, giving Way to An impulse, rushes back and kisses Marguerite yet once again ere taking his departure.Faust on this occasion got to the other side of the stage all right, but trouble arose when he tried to get back.Marguerite sits in the window of her cottage, and Faust comes back and kisses her through the window.Faust measured the distance with a wabbling eye.but made a start when his cue was given.Then he seemed to lose control of himself.One-quarter way across he was trotting, one-half way the trot was a run, and the remainder of the way it had become a gallop.Up to this point Miss Abbott stood her groumd bravely, but that rapidly approaching figure awed her, and with a frightened serenm she fled.Faust, poor Faust, charged on, Ile reached the place he had last seen Marguerite and essayed to clasp the atmosphere in outstretched arms.Then his impetus carried him through the window.and all that the astounded audience looked upon were his waving legs.Somebody pushed him back, and, absolutely undisturbed, he finished the opera, singing in an unusually superb manner.Not so with the unfortunate Marguerite, however, for from then on she was suffering from a case of \u201crattles,\u201d which in simple justice should have been the property of Faust.\u2014New York Tribune.| PRETTY IRISH GIRLS.Why the Lasses of the Emerald Isle Are Beautiful, The Irish peasant girls have long been famous for their

streteh- ed out to their full length and the arms elther straight down by the body or in any comfortable position, provided they are not raised above the head.The mouth should be closed, and all the muscles of the body should be relaxed.The lungs work with greater deliberation during the hours of sleep, and if the arms ave raised above the head at this time and for any period the action of the heart drives the blood away from the arms and sends it to the head, frequently making one very restless when it does uot prevent sleep entirely.\u201cAmerican Queen._\u2014 Having n Purpose In Lite,

increase, the \u2018Patrie\u2019 says: \u2018We hope that this good movement will go on increasing every day in our province.What a good fortune for the country, what a rich harvest of harmony and peace, if that example was followed by the other provinces in Canada.We are convinced that every effort on the part of our Anglo-Saxon compatriots to learn French would tend to set aside a number of stupid prejudices and to destroy hostile feelings towards us.Moreover, a knowledge of our language, of our literature, of our history, would widen the horizon, and would enlighten and elevate the mind of those wbo sometimes without any motive, or any provocation on our part, bear malice to a loyal and peaceful nationality.The day when that happens will witness the final burial of the race cry and

Rev.Mr.Whitelaw omitted to enclose the money in the letter and exonerating the Kinnear\u2019s Mills postmaster, upon whom the reverend gentleman had sought to cast suspicion.Judge White's finding was a stunner to Mr.\u201cWhitelaw and his next concern was to hold his ministerial standing.That he succeeded in doing for a committee of brother ministers passed a whitewashing res- oiution, which reflected on Mr.James Kinrear, Jr, son of the postmaster.Mr.Kinnear, Jr., has sued the members of the committee for slander, claiming damages to the tune of 84, 009.He is represented by

wounded was 174.What that of the enemy was cap only be inferred (from the fact that they left 35 dead on the fleld from which they were forced to retire.Such attacks on well held British positions have been rare during the campaign, and both the circumstances of this latest one, the considerable loss sustained before the burghers withdrew and the knowledge of the kind of campaign General Kitchener js conducting, make it probable that desperation Was the inspiring causo of the assault.The British must now control al) the large supplies of food as well of ammunition, and where the Boers

order all grades already made, contracting for graveling the grades wherever that is avallable.Old methods of making and caring for the roads have followed us from primitive times in the older castern 2008 gates, and must be relegated to the | dead past before we ean hope for very much better highways, A more just method of taxation whereby the property of all tie people, bondholders and railroads, telegraph, telephone and all other public utilities, are made to pay their just proportion of the tases by an assessment of their properties according to thelr cash or selling value, the same as n farm or the merchant's ztock of goods or tne capital of a bank, will aid materially In equalizing the burdens of making and waintaining Letter roads.For the llighvways.The Evod roads oflicials of the gov ernment are felicitating themselves over the fact that, although congress falled to pass the river and harbor bill, it did appropriate $20,000 for the cause of good roads.Even though this was $130,000 less than the amount asked for, the beautifiers of the public Ligh- ways are thoroughly satisfied with the treatment aceorded them by congress, all things and all appropriations considered.Maintenance of Dirt Roads.The maintenance of dirt reads after seing properly constructed 13 usually teft to the elements: consequently the rondmaker is compelled to rebuild big aad annually, while the employment of a caretaker or overseer at all times on al!

Friendly Talk Between Sentff and III.when properly considered, the story of the Northern Pacific corner which precipitated the panic in Wall street the other day is simply an Illustration of an old saying that there can be too much of à good thing.From the developments of the last few days it is made very apparent that efforts of one set of men to acquire interest in others\u2019 properties engendered a bitter feeling.That this should have broken out in a | | stock market duel is not surprising.This js not a fight, as some would have it, between banking houses, but petween capitalists identified with great rallroad properties.The true sto- not know.In some manner fnforñma tion as to his project became known.I?was never more than a possibility and a vague one at that.\u201d From this stâtement It is apparent that the meeting in London, at which three men\u2014Mr.Morgan, Mr.Hill and ;the agent of the Deutsche bank\u2014sat l pround a table with the railroad map of the United States in front of them and calmly planned and discussed the nequisltion of other men's properties, ted finally to the quarrel which has convulsed Wall street and the entire financial world.General report about the forcing of {the corner in Northern Pacifie is incor- 'reet in many particulars.The Union Pacific interests quietly began buying the stock, not in the open market, as has been reported, but through nego- tlatlons with large holders.Great ; Northern stock was unobtainable, he- i Ing very closely Leld by Mr, Hill and his friends.The control of Burlington i Lad passed, and the culy property re- i maining available that had any voice | in the matter was Northern Pacific.Had lt «ot been for the friendship which had existed for many years be- \u201ctween Mr.Jacob II, Schiff and Mr, ( HI it is doubtful if the difficulty Wpuld have been precipitated.On the up rush of prices holders of Northern ry of the long contest is here told for Pacific, including officers mud directors the first time.The struggle has extended over months and originated in London at à meeting in which three men of that company, sold their stock, hoping to rebuy it in the market at lower prices, So far ns Is known, only one of seated at a table with a railroad map | these sold short, and le, a holder of of the United States spread before them calmly considered whose properties they could acquire, says the New York ITerald.| When the true history of the great Northern Pacific corner is told, it will be found that the causes which led up to it date much further Lack than the furious buying of Northern Pacific stock in which, according to the accepted Wall street theory, there was a manifestation of a stock market duel between the IHarriman-IKKulin-Loeb- Standard Oil party on one side and that vf J.Pierpont Morgan & Co, and James J, IIiil on the other.The buying of the stock Is merely the outcome of conflicting ideas in the administration of railway properties.For more than a year there has beer maneuvering on the part of the two great factions to strengthien thelr positions, some of which men have felt were threatened by the activity of Mr.Hill.He had been remarkably successful in the reorganization of the old St.Paul and Pacifie railway and had converted that bankrupt and apparently hopelessly demoralized road into the splendid St.Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba system.In the Ited river valley, which this road penetrated, Mr.TLiH discovered the bread basket of the world.Me operated his road cheaply and obtained remarkable results, Ie won confidence and finally conceived record for a large amount, unloaded his entire holdings and was caught .short 5,000 shares, From an entirely disinterested source it Js learned that the Northern Pacific men suddenly learned the true situation as tbe result of à conversation between Mr, Schiff and Mr.Hill.Mr, Hill, according to this version of the story, was boasting of Lis accomplishment of getting Burlington and was commenting upon the bright prospecty of Great Northern as a result of thy acquisition.Mr.Schiff is alleged to have said in reply: \u201cMr.ll, we have Leen friends for a period of 23 years, and the firm of Kuhn, Leeh & Co.has financed the Great Northern railroad time and again when its credit was not as high as it is at present and when the property was vastly different from its condition now, tions, both personal and of a busines nature, will continue, and it is only in consequence of our friendship that 1 tell you this\u2014I think I owe it to you, Mi.Hill, to Tet you know that you and your friends do not hold the control of Northern Pacific.The coutrol of that road is in Kulin, Loeb & Co)s oflice at the present time.\u201d \u201cThat isn't possible \u201d Mr.Iill retorted.\u201cI own S30,600,000 of (he stuif myself, and 1 have not sold a share.With my holdings and those of my 7 : rv ! fri Ty Tr EU 2 \u2018oritv.the idea of extending the Manitoha sys- : friends we have an absolute majority.tem to the Pacific coast.The undertaking was tremendous, for (he Great Northern road was projected through a thinly populated territory.Until the death of Mr, Charles Cos- ter, the partner of J, Plerpont Morgan, who attended to the details of the rail- toiul properties for his house, Mr.Mor ra Was an opponeut of Mr.II.They had clashed on the eastern end over the St, Paul and Duluth property and similariy in the west.Mr.1Iill had never heen a pacifying factor in the railrond situation.The man is a horn fighter, ani where his properties came in conflict with other properties there bas rarely been lacking a contest, if any provocation for a contest existed.At ihe time of the last reorganization af Northern Pacific overtures had been made to Mr.Hill, and that property, Mr, Hill says, was offered to the Great Northern road, Whether it was offered to Mr.Till or he at the time sought to obtain it is peither here nor there, The supreme court of the United States set- ted the question, holding that as Great Northern and Northern Pacific were parallel and competing lines neither could be acquired by the othef.After the death of Mr.Coster Mr.Morgan formed an alliance with Mr.Hill whereby he and his friends ne- quired control of the Northern Pacific, It is said Northern Pacifie stock to the value of $40,000,000 was placed in the bossession of those who were the largest stockholders of the Northern railway.One consideration was that Mr.Hill should join the Lrie board of directors to belp reclaim what Mr, ITill himself says was a financial derelict.Up to this point no objection was raised to Mr, Ifill's undertakings, for his friends ana associates believed that he bad acquired Northern Pacific for the Dopicetion of his Great Northern property.Mr.Hill's resistless spirit carried him further, however, than the simple ne- quisition of Northern Pacific.Had he continued satisfied with what he had accomplished, which was a great achievement, there would have been no further difficulty, but his reaching out aud attempting to buy first the St \u2018aul property, In which he was defeated.and then the great Burlington system.in which he was successful, caused the owners of all intermedinte properties alarm, Mr.TI himself tells the story of the inception: of his plans.It is in substance as follows: \u201cThere chanced to be in London last Year Mr, Morgan, myself and a representative of the Deutsche Bank of Berlin.The railroad map of the country Was laid out before us, and we were discussing the future of the vatious Properties.In tbe course of the con- Nersation there came up a question as to what was to become of the Missourl Pacific system, The future of other Systems were discussed, among them the St.Paul road.lt was my opinion that the other systems would ccnimue Under their present control, but the fu ture of the St.Paul was net absolutely fAssured, Mr, Morgan asked me if the! St Paul voad could be bought.I told! him thay | thought Jt could, but 1 did \u201cYou may be holders of record of the majority,\u201d replied Mr, Schiff, \u201cbut we hold the certificates.Including the conmmon and the preferred stock, we have a clear majority.\u201d Immediately after this conversation the furious buying of Northern l\u2019acitie was noted.In New York, London and 3erlin it was the same.The orders were unlimited either as to price or\u2019 quantity.The conclusion seems definite that some of Mr.Hill's friends laud parted with their stock and were not at the time the absolute owners of the property.Nothing vlse could possibly explain the employment of James R.Keene by the banking house of J.P.Morgan & Co.and the tremendous pur-! chases of the stock through Street & Norton, who openly bid in 150,000 shares and forced the price up 24 points.That some of the buying came from Kuhn, Loch & Co.is not unlikely, but what is called the competitive buying was not altogether a contest between the vival interests, It was due in part to heavy repurchases of stock through a Broadway banking and brokerage house which handled the speculative accounts of some large interests identified with the Northern Pacific property.It will undoubtedly take some time to definitely settle where the control of the property really Hes.That the contest Is very close is indicated by the buying by both parties of fractional share lots throughout the country.Both houses have, in-addition to stock.sone contracts, and where the contracts rest it cannot be stated positively.More light will be thrown on this point, however, with the arrival of the stemuships from Europe.It must be admitted that the Kuhn-Loeb party speak more definitely on the point of control than any of Mr.Morgan's representatives, with the exception of Mr.IHL Representatives of Kubin, Loeb & Co.say that the stock sold by the arbitrage houses will definitely come to them.Their holdings are distributed among the common and preferred issues, and if it is long stock that comes from Europe it would seem as though they had the control.Some question may arise, however, due to the retirement of the preferred stock issue.Under the terms of issue the preferred stock is retire- able upon any first day of January up to 1905 at par.No action has yet been taken upon the preferred stock, which at the present time carries equal voting power with the common, Whether this stock can be ordered retired by the directors prior to the meeting of the company on Oct.1 uext Is not known.It would seem, however, as though a matter of this importance would rest wits the shareholders of the company, and if such is the case Kuhn, Loch & Co.\u2019s stock will be in existence on Oct.1 sud will determine not only tbe question of control, but the question of retiring the preferred issue, Ou all sides it 1s said tbat had Mr.Morgan been here the trouble would probably have been nvoided, for it is generally believed now that a very hasty decision to attempt repurchase of stock led to thie oversold condition and the conse: quent corner, T hope that the friendly rela: | HARD ON SMOKERS.0:0 Time Legislation Against the Use of Pobacco.It is one of the curiosities of old time legislation that the use of tobacco was in early colopial days regarded by the magistrates und elders as far move lu- jurious, degrading aed sinful than that of intoxicating liquors.Doth the use and the planting of the weed were for | bidden, the cultivation of It being permitted only in small quantities, \u201cfor | Invere necessitie, for phisick, for pros.| ervittion of the health, and that the | same be taken privately by anneient | len Dut the \u201ccreature called tobac- ko\" seemed to have an indestructible life Mrs.Alice M.Earle writes of | these early restrictions about tobacco in \u201cStagecoach and Tavern Days\u201d Landlords were ordered not to \u2018\u201csuf- | fer any tobacco to Le taken into thelr!

some of the fixed stars and also the planets send heat to the earth in tlie rays which show us their position In space has been demonstrated | by Professor E.FF.Nichols of Dartmouth college, near Williams Day, Wis, who for two years lias been experimenting in the Yerkes observatory in Chicago.1t is needless to say that the amount of heat is infinitesimal, and this fact attests to the sensitiveness of the radiometer, the professor's instrument.It is so finely constructed that it deteets the beat thrown out from a candle a mile away.Heretofore astronomers have wondered if the light rays of the stars cuar- ried with tbein any heat.The great distance of the stars from the carth rendered the hypothesis improbable, for in traversing so many hundreds of millions of miles of space warmth would be dissipated.Professor Nichol\u2019s instrument resein- bles somewhat the bolometer and the radiomicrometer used in measuring beat rays.Banann Culture In California.Banana growing is a

Years to Ier New Rook, \u201cUy the Waters of Dabylon\u201d is the attractive title of Mrs, Reginald De Koven's new book, which was issued A few days ago.The period In which the romance is laid Is that immediately following the invasion of Greece by Xerxes, says the Chicago American, It is in the time of Lis son Artaxerxes and the kings of the Achaemminian dynasty, who, while they were Persian rulers, were also rulers over Babylon and Assyria, The netion centers about the elty of Baby.len, the winter residence of these kings, It was the period when Nehe- mial, the Jewish reformver and law giver, was cup bearer to Artaxerxes gnd when Themistocles, the great Greek general mind exile, was resident | | ut the court.The plot Is made historically correct from the material extant with regard to tlie priests of the temple of Bel.In it figure with strong dramatie touch the intrigues of Amytis, sister of Artaxerxes, who was celebrated as being the wost beautiful and most intemperate woman in all Asia.The principal action centers around CArrion, the young Jewish favorite of \u201cthe king, and Miriam, a maiden of the !captive people, beloved by the king.It Is a picture story more than one of adventure, not crowiled with incidents, for the plot is simple, but of dramatic force necessary to carry out the plan of its conception.Miriam represents the best iustinets of the traditions of.her race.Une of the most telling scenes Is that in which she deties the false priests.In this is to the idol worship of the Babylonians and the power and corruption of the priesthood.lu the second edition of the book will be published a traditional chant, used by the Jews, of the words of the Une Hundred and Thirty-seventh Psalm, beginning, \u201cRy the waters of Babylon.\u201d This is absolutely authentic and dates back two centuries before Christ, almest to the Babylonian period.As uo copy of this has ever before appeared In modern publications, it will lend a vastly increased iuterest to

manner In which fishermen about New York barbor sink shad poles depends more or less on the bottom.If it was of mud, 10 or 12 feet : deep, the pole would be forced through ; the mud, but not driven into the hard bottoms below.If the mud was only a foot or two or three deep, overlying a hard bottom, then the pele would be |! sunk some feet into the hard bottom to give it à secure hold.The old way of sinking ndw poles through mud is to set the point of the pole in place and then lash across it above the water a crosspiece upon which two men stand, one où either side of tbe pole.Thelr weight and their surging down on tle crosspiece carry the pole gradually down through the mud to the sandy bottom below.Into the hard bottom the pole is driven with beetles.By the up to date way there Is employed nowadays In setting shad poles fn a hard bottom the same means that the dock builder uses in setting iron piles, says the New York Sun, A hole is bored in the sandy bottom with a ; stream of water forced down from the\u2018 By this hydraulie system the\u2019 surface, work eau be done In much less time than it takes to drive the poles with beetles.BIBLES FOR FILIPINOS.American Bible Society WIN Trans- Inte Ten Different Versions.The American Bible society bas luld out a costly and extensive plan of work fn thie Philippines, according to Dr John AL Pearson, field agent of the wo- ciety, who addressed the Methodist preachers\u2019 meeting at Cloeinnat! the other day, says the New York Times, He said: \u201cit Is vartously estimated that there are Letween 24 and 84 different languages and dialects in the islands, and from correspondence with workers in the field T have learned that it will take ten different versions of the Bible to reach them.This will cost a vast amount of money, but It is Uncle Sam's Job, and for this work funds must be raised in America, \u201cIt is estimated that translation will require all of one man's time for ten years, together with that of a native teacher as assistant.The salary of such a man would likely be $2,500 yearly, and the total cost would figure 250,000.DBesldes this of course ls the cost of printing and distribution.\u201d

\u2014 Rules ficinries \u2014 How us to Bene- the Pensions Are Figured.11linois Central railroad employees re- .tired for age or incapacity will be the ; bencficlaries of à comprehensive pen- {sion system which the road will put into effeet July 1.Each retired employee will receive a pension based on the average monthly !salary he had been paid during the i Tast ten years of his service and vary- cing from 10 to 40 or even 50 per cent lof that salary.The system applies to every officer and employee of the road from the president down to the Lum- |Llest laborer, except the members of \u201cthe law and surgical departments, | \u201cWe lave been lel to provide pensions.\u201d sald President Stnyvesant Fish recently, \u201cas an additicnal means of providing for our men and bringing them into close and friendly relations with the company.Since the rise of the value of the road stock above par we have found that the employees bave practically stopped purchasing it, and after much deliberation we decided upon the present plan, the detalls of which have been carefully worked out, \u201cTo start with, the company makes a cash gift of $250,600 to the pension fund, In addition it agrees to pay any amount needed for the pensions up to S100,000 cach year.1f the annual pension allowance run beyond this figure, then, aud ouly then, the original §250,- ooo will be touched.If the $250,000 is exlmusted the company reserves the vivilege of altering the schedule of payments so that the burden shall not increase to too great size.\u201cAs to the employees who get pensions, there are included in the first place all men over TU years of age who have been ten years in the service of :the road, Reutirement at the age of T0 is made compulsory for all officers and employees, In the case of locomotive firemen, engineers, conductors, lagmen and brakewen, train baggage men, yardmasters, switchmen, bridge fore- i men, section foremen and supervisors, they may be retired at the age of 03, and if they have heen ten years in service they will be peusioned.OHffi- cers and employees between the ages of G1 and 70 who have becowne incapacitated for any cause aud who have been ten years in the service may Le retired and pensioned.| \u201cThese provisions are lberal, for most other roads require a continuous service of 30 years before granting pensions, make the retirement age for ju- capiteltated men from 65 to 60 years instead of 61 and do not let the train and track men retire before T0, \u201cThe amount of the pension Is figured this way: The average monthly pay of the man for his ten years is found, aud then he is allowed 1 per cent of the amount for every year he has been in the service of the rond, If be Las been ten years in service his pension is 10 per cent, and if he Las been 40 years in service he gets a 40 per cent pension.For instance, the trackmen get the lowest pay, averaging $20 a month.Suppose a man has i been 30 years in the service of the com- pany\u2014and itJs fair to assume that most ; pensioned men will have been with us | that long at least\u2014his pension will be §U a wonth, or $108 a year.| \u201cA brakeman averages $60 a month, but if he was a good man he would be promoted tong before retirement, and su would not get his pension on that salary basis, The same fs true of firemen.\u201cThe conductor averages 8115 a month, which would make his pension after 30 years\u2019 service $3450 a month, or $414 a year.The engineer, with an average pay of $125 a month, would get after 80 years' service $37.50 a t month pension, or $450 a year.Ma- i chinists, averaging 60 a mwonth, on the | sane hasis would get £18 a month pension, or S216 n year.Of course if men \u201cof these grades were retired after 40 years\u2019 service the pensions would be just 33 1-3 per cent greater than the figures given, \u201cThe terms of the plan are liberal in another way.Of course continuous {service Is mueant by the pliruse \u2018length lof service,\u201d but where men have been i gone on a leave of absence, suspension, | dismissal followed by reinstatement | witbit one year, or where temporarily j laid off on nceount of reduction of the \u2018force when unattended by other em- | pPoyment, that Is not considered a i break in tlie continuity.\u201cPensioned employees are permitted to engage in any other business they | wish, although they cannot return to the service of the company.They are * not permitted to assign away pensions, \u201cThe road has now between 30,000 and 35,000 employees, half the size of the United States army.and all active workers, They must be kept to high \u2018efficiency.Conditions are more arduous every year, Wages are higher and stability of employment greater.To keep the force In the best condition we want à pension system, but we expect that from year to year the financial demands of the system will be heavier.We think that $100,000 a year will be ample, but we cannot tell yet, and we cannot even tell how many employees will be retired the first year.All is In the experimental stage.\u201d The officlals of the road who compose tbe pension board and will wanage the scheme are C.A.Beck, W.J.Harnhan, C.F.Krebs, Willlam Renshaw, A.W.Sullivan, J.F.Wallace and Dr.J.BE.Owens.TUNNELING A MOUNTAIN, Account of a Stupendons Engineering Feat In the West, The wonderful achlevement of tunneling a big mountain.at Sherman, Wy.by the Union Pacific in order to reduce the grade and shorten the track Las been accomplished, and on May 1 regular service wis commenced on the new line from Buford to Tie Siding, which becomes part of the main line of \u201cthe overland route.\u201d The contract for this work was awarded about a year ago, and its completion is reckoned one of the most ns- tonishing feats of railroad engineering yet accomplished, The general public has no idea of the gigantic fills and marvelous tunneling through the Rockies In connection with this work, The Sherman tunnel, forming à very Hnportant part of the project, is situated Letween Dale Creek and Tie Siding, nearly half a mile long.In the mountain it pierces Is found the ar- chæn formation, one of the hardest of granite rocks, from which comes Sherman gravel, so extensively used on the Union Pacific for ballast.Standing conspicuously out in this great engineering work are two fills, Lone \u2018Tree ill aud Dale Creek fill.The embankment at the last named fill is 145 feet in the highest place, O00 feet long, 40 feet wide at the top, 113 feet nt the bottom, The Lone Tree fill is southeast of the town of Sherman.The embankment is 130 feet high at the highest point, These two ills involved the handling of 500,000 cubic yards of earth and stone.Two other embankments adjacent required the moving of 250,000 yards, so that this particular part of the work, all within a distance of a mile, necessitated the moving of more than 750,000 cubic yards of carth amd rock.Through the eimbankments pass large concrete and iron culverts, to provide for the drainage of the large area obtaining on Dale creek.The new tunnel is so well constructed that with freedom from density of alr one may sce clearly with the naked eye from one end of the tunnel to the other.The saving in motive power to the Union j'acitie by the construction of the new line will he immense and is evidenced by the faet that the maximum grade per mile is reduced from 07.68 per cent to 43.3 per cent between Juford and Laramie nlone, The Union acifie will now be able to make faster time to all western points and haul heavier loads thap before, FIND GEMS IN WASTE PAPER St.Joseph (Mich.Mill Employecs Have an Valuable Perguisite.The employees of a paper company of ®t.Joseph, Mich, are rapidiy ae- quiring valuable gems and expensive watehes and chains and all sorts of Jewelry ys the Chicago Inter Ocean.The pauper comes to the factory in immense bales.It Is pleked up mostly fn wholesale houses in Chicago and the newspaper oflices.When the paper arrives at the mill, it is put into an enormous beater, where it is ground into pulp, the foreign matter settling to the bottoni.Once every week the beater is cleaned, and this Is a signal for a wild scramble on the part of the employees of the mill, who gather around the tank and wait until tbe last particle of pulp is drained oft.Then they jump into the tank head first or any way that they can get in the handiest, and the search for valuables begins, The men come up bearing their trophies.Oue will have a watch, another a chain, ete.Curry Allen, one of the oldest employees of the mill, Las a two ounce bottle full of gems that he has found in the tank.There are pearls, rubies and sapphires and two diamonds of considerable value, This year there have been found 12 rings.set with different gems, all of value.There have also been found several first class watches and many watch cases without the works, Most of these articles have the lot number and price cost on them.These ail come froin swcepings from the wholesale jewelry houses.The most remarkable find this year was a solid gold fob chain.linked together, Ench man is allowed to keep all that he finds, PRINTING OFFICE IN MANILA A Government Establishment to Be Started.À dispateh to the Philadelphia Public Ledger from Washington says that the government has found Ît necessary to establish at
