Mt. Gents Tunnel.

The Mont Gents Tunnel which connects
the railway systems of France and Italy
wasformally opened on Sunday. We con-
dense from the Tribune an interesting his
tory of the work. 1t was begun in 1857,
though the work was not pushed energet-
ically till some four or five years later,
when France expressed willingness to
bear part of the expense. Leaving a
point above the village Of Fourneaux, on
the French side 1904 feet above the sea
level, the tunnel strikes through the
mountain at point between the Col de
Frelus and Col de la Rome. The highest
point attained by the tunnel is 1877 feet
above the sea, and 3,480 feet below the
crest of the mountain overhead. From
this point the tunnel slopes down to the
other opening on the Italian side, at Bar
donneche, 4,334feet above the sea, at the
top of lofty glen of the same name,
whence the railroad goes down to Ouix
on the Dona Riparia, following the course
of thatvalley by Salbertrand and Exilles,
till it debouches into the valley of Rou-
sa at Bussolino. The total cost of the
work is s13,000,000, of which sum Vic
tor Emanuel, or railway of North Italy,
pays S4,000,000. The French govern
ment agreed to pay Italy s3,S00, 900, if
the work was accomplished within 20
years, reckoning from 1862. But if the
work was finished at an earlier date,
France agreed to pay 100000 more for
every year gained upon the stipulated
time. The work is now finished II wears
before the limit named, and accordingly
France will have to pay S1,100,000, be-
sides the s4,0OO,000 of the original stip-
ulation. She also bound herself to pay
. per cent. interest on the money due for
the work as it proceeded from year to
year. Had the construction continued
beyond the stipulated term of 20 years,
Italy would have lost $4,000 for every
year in excess of that period. The total
length of the tunnel is about eight miles,
or nearly third more than our Hoosac
tunnel, and the engineering difficulties
were much the same as those which have
been encountered at our great bore. Had
it not been for the discovery that COM
pressed air could be used as motive pow
er, the Mont Gents tunnel would not have
been complete, nor would there have
been the certain prospect which now ex-
lists, that the Hoosac tunnel will pull
through in very few years more. The
Mont Gents tunnel cannot be used for
several months yet, owing to the want of
railroad communication between St. Mich
ell and Fourneaux, a distance of about
ten miles, The railroad now construct
ing will be more complete in November,
and it will then be possible to make an
unbroken railroad journey between Paris
and Turin. The French have regarded
the opening of the Mont Gents tunnel as
calculated to impair the commerce of
Marsailles, This is the reason the French
railroad companies have lost their early
enthusiasm in regard to the tunnel, and
allowed the ten miles Of railroad to re-
main incomplete.

MTssING.-An eminent judge used to
say that, in his opinion, the very best
thing ever said by witness to counsel
was the reply given to Missing, the bar
rister, at the time leader OF his circuit.
He was defending a prisoner charged
with stealing donkey. The prosecutor
had left the animal tied to the gate, and
when he returned it was gone Missing
was very severe in his examination of the
witness. "Do you mean to say, witness,
the donkey was stolen from the gate ?"
" | mean to say, sir" giving the judge
and then the jury sly LOOK, the ass
was Missing"

For Husbands Only.

The woman who is able to systematic
and carry ON smoothly the work of an
ordinary family, illustrates higher sa-
gacity than is called for by seven-eights
of the tasks done by man. Men take
one trade and work at it; mothers
and housekeeper's work requires a touch
from all trades.
Let any man do a woman's work for

wash-boiler on with water for the wash
ing and the clothes assorted ready for

goers; nice dinner in the good mans
dinner pail; the beds made after prop
er airing, the fathers convenience ex-
actly hit for family prayers; the syste-
matte sweeping of the house at least once
a week, and of living rooms once to
three times a day, according to the num-
Der of men to bring in mud; the actual
washing and out-hanging of clothes the

morrow the ironing of the same; the as

while, papa must not be troubled or
hindered about his work." because his
work brings in the money. Yes, mans
work brings in the money. But mans
work does not so tax the head. heart and
hands as woman's work does.
Besides all this, man is helped by
many strong relishes and incentives in
his labor. He is out in the world among
folks. He comes and goes and is re-
freshed in spirit. But woman works
alone and almost unknown. To please
her husband and her God is possibly her
only motive; and, alas! how many wives
there be who sob in secret before their
God, because they fail to win one smile
or word of praise from their husbands.
1t is stupid and brutal for an o. .dinary
man to be finding fault with woman -
and equally so to treat wife with the
neglect which implies indifference. She
has yielded up herself, her life, her all,
to him. Let him appreciate her love,
and show such appreciation. Let him
manifest his love in return.

Friendship.

A tiny. slender silken thread
Is friendship, and We make il
BIND hearts and lives to hearts and lives
But cen a breath may shake it.
And oft it takes hut one wee word
But one wee wOrd-tO break il!
1t takes the lips in smiling shape.
lt draws the look of pleasure
From eve to eye when hands touch hands.
When two hearts beat one measure;
And draws a meaning from a word
Which makes that word a treasure.
Like ring of tuneful harp or lutte
Between glad souls tbs holden,
And loves fond fingers on the thread
Make music rare and golden
Make music such as tender hearts
Coul d live, and ne'er grow old, in.
But If a breath may shake it. let
That breath come near il never;
And never spoken be that word
Which friendships tie might sever;
But let the cord grow stronger till
The dawning Of forever.

Loves Choice.

The stroller in the pensive field
Doth many a wildering glover descry
Sometimes to him the roses yield.
Sometimes the lilies feed his eye;
Sometimes he takes delight in one,
Sometimes in ALL sometimes in none.
But when. in dusky woodland ways,
He sees, beside some dreaming stone,
The fresh untutored Violet raise
Her pleading eyes for him alone,
Then makes its heart its final choic e,
And Nature speaks in PASSIONS voice.
The stroller beauty's garden through.
BY many a wayward impulse led.
Sometimes is charmed by gold and blue.
Sometimes by brown and mantling red
Sometimes proud dame and maiden small
Please Just the same, or not at all,
But when remote from pleasures whirl,
He sees at homes sequestered shrine.
The ardent, cheerful guiieless girl,
OF mortal mould, but soul divine
Too good. too beautiful to know
How fair her worth and beauty show
Then all his rO wing fancies pause,
Entraneed oy this Overwhelming grace;
1t ruies him by celestial laws
1t lights splendor in his face.
'Tis the best Gond that Heaven can give
He wins it-ant begins TO live.

parative economy of buying ready made
clothing with that made at home. Pat.
te ms for jackets and pantaloons cost fif-
ty cents for both cloth, Of good quality
may be obtained for seventy-fve cents or
dollar; one can generally hunt up lin
ings and trimmings from materials in the
house; fifty cents will cover their cost if
they are bought at the store. For a boy
ten years old the account would run
thus:
