IL was quite severe on young Mr.. Thompson.
1t Is likely, however, that the Texas plan, in
troduced In the vicinity of West Point by Mr..
Buck, of that ardent and impetuous state, Will
have the effect to depress the hazing business a
little. In that view Of the case, pistol-carrying
may not De regarded as an unmixed evil.
The exhibition OF mill products and milling
machinery, inaugurated in Cincinnati last
week, has proved a decided success Nearly
five thousand millers and persons interested In
the manufacture OF mill machinery attended
Saturday. and an annual exhibition will be
hereafter held at the different prominent cities
OF the Union. Among the exhibitors az Cincln-
matt are a number from Europe and from
Canada, and II is the intention to make the ex-
position hereafter International In it's charac-
ter. Samples of -four were shown from differ

A number OF French physicians who were
called upon by the government for their pro-
feSsional opinion OF oleomargarine. pronounced
1t UNFIT for use in an insane asylum the inmates
of whichwere being regaledwith 1t Instead OF but
ter. On the other hand, there are on record re-
ports OF numerous chemists asserting that oleo-

The st. GOthard tunnel, which has cost so
mucn money as well as the sacrifice OF scores of
lives. Is rendered useless for some time at least.
by the fall OF portion of the roof This pre-
sents difficulty which the engineers have no t
yet been able to surmount. 1t seems that the
break occurred where the tunnel was cut
through deposit OF white stone which Is of a
loose or brittle nature. A wall OF granite six
feet thick was erected to support the roof, and
yet the caving stone crushed it down 1t is
doubtful If any wall can be constructed that

II a detour has to be made around it the cost of
the tunnel will be greatly increased 1t can
hardly De doubted, however. but that the en-
sileering skill of the age will find some plan of
renewing the difficulty, although it may take
considerable time and money.
