RESULT OF CALAMITY ROWLING

From the ottawa Republican.
McAffee of Topeka was in the city
yesterday and was telling sad story OF
how a rd-hearted eastern money
lender treated poor farmer in this
section of Kansas. The loan was due,
and was in truth safe loan, being only
one-third of the value of the property.
The farmer wrote east. saving that I've
couldn't pay, and begged for time. IL
reply he received copy of PETER
speech on farms in Kansas being mort
gagged for more than they were worth,
with notice of foreclosure, saying that
he (the lender proposed to see the bot
tom of either the PETER story or the
value of the land Does the Kansas
voter propose to endorse PETER, Simp-
son & Co., or is he gong to defend Kan
sas homes?

are trying to persuade themselves that
should he be elected he will be more re-

The Iiverpool Noslems Mobbed.

The little building in Brougham ter
race, Liverpool, in which the few Nos
lem worshipers thereabout gather to-
gether for prayer and to listen to ser
mons in Arabic and English is hidden
away in garden, and it does not seem
that its congregation has ever done any
thing to give offense, yet for more than
a 18th past they have been exposed to
persecution, and the ferment appears to
be IL easing. On a recent Sunday, ac-
cording to local report, the appearance
of the "Muezzin" in the balcony to give
the customary "Azan, or call to prayer,
the signal for great uproar from a
crowd of some 400 roughs, indulging IN
the usual oaths and execrations and
throwing of stones and filth.
Sever times, it is stated, the Muezzin
was struck. After he had retired the
disturbers burst into She mosque and
threw stones, one Of which fell within a
few inches Of where the little son of
Ahmed Quilism Bey was kneeling in
prayer. These annoyances, it is added.
continued during the service, and the
congregation on leaving were pelted and
struck.-London Public Opinion.

n1uurKN ENGINEERING.
Many of Its Feats Seem like the Work Of
a wizard,


The civil engineer of the present age
is wizard who annihilates spaces and
matter The highest mountains, the
deepest valleys are his playthings; he
bridges one and tunnels through the
bowels of the other. The railroad
from Callao through the heart Of Peru
is the highest and most wonderfully
constructed line in the world The
grades are often of three hundred feet
to the mile, and when the Andes were
reached so difficult was the work that
laborers were lowered from cliffs above
by ropes in order that they might carve
a foothold to begin the cutting for the
roadway.
Tunnels are more numerous than
open cuts and as far as the road has
gone sixty-one tunnels have been con-
structed, aggregating twenty thousand
feet in length. The road attains
height of fifteen thousand feet above
the level of the sea and at the highest
point is about equal to the topmost
peak of Mount Blanc 1t pierces the
range by tunnel three thousand eight
hundred and seventeen feet long. The
tunnels of the Andes, however, do not
compare with those of the Union Pacific,
nor do the latter approach the tunnels
of the Alps.
The improvements in locomotives
rendered them capable of climb bing
grades, which in early days of railroad
engineering were deemed out of the
question. The first railroads were
laid almost level, but it was soon dis
covered that grade of few feet to
the mile was no impediment to prog.
ress, and gradually the grade was
steepened 10 the energy and perse-
veraDce of inventors the success of
mountain railroading is due. The road
up Mount Washington, finished in 1868,
was the first, and the road up Pixies
peak is the latest of steep lines. OF
the European roads, the one up the
sides of Mount Rigi in the Alps is the
most famous. 1t is nineteen thousand
feet long and in that distance rises
four thousand feet at an averaging
grade Of one foot to every four. At
places the grade is about one foot in
two and half, which is believed to be
the steepest in the world.-Chicago
Herald.

1t was Too Fine.

years of age, drove up to the depot in a

man whom I took to be his father.
Something was said between them
which I did not catch, and the boy
turned and swore at the old man and
called him names. As he came up to
me / said:
Boy, I'm sorry to see you lacking in
flial respect"

A Tree Climbing Pig.

A curiosity has lately been shot by Mr..
LIE Mortemore, who has a selection on
Tinana creek, Queensland. He says il
is a sort of tree climbing pig. For q
number of years the wild pigs have been
numerous in this locality, and his theory
is that the original or common pig must
have amalgamated to a certain extent
with some aboriginal animal. or that the
necessities of climate, etc, have caused
the variety. The captured animal weighs
about 100 pounds, and Is pretty fat, with
bristly brown fur, small black spots,
snout and ears like pig, but the jaw Is
furnished with front teeth like a rodent;
it has large CANNES AL erful back
grinders.
The fore feet are furnished with hook
like claws; the hind ones have two hook
claws on each hoof. The tail is thick,
about foot long, and highly prehensile,
and in a state of rest is usually carried
in what is known as Flemish coil The
animal is also furnished with pouch,
which it only appears to use for carrying
a supply of food in while it is travelling
to fresh pastures. The skin is saved and
will be sent to the marlborough exhi
bition. Mr.. lie Mortemore says the flesh
is excellent, and that it tastes just like
veal and ham pie. He is sure there are
plenty more about by the marks on the
trees. In drought the animal climbs
trees and hangs by its tail while it gath
ers its food by the hook claws. He in
tends capturing some live specimens and
breeding from them.-Pall Mall Budget.
