LONGEST TUNNEL IN THE WORLD
1t VIII BE Over Twelve Miles, Through
the SimplOn Mountain.

the SimplOn Mountain.
The longest tunnel in the world will
be that now to be constructed through
the Simplon. According to the final
plans adopted it will have length of
1919 miles, or 81 miles more than the
St. Gothard tunnel. The northern
mouth will be situated about $500
yards south of Brieg, at the little vii
lage OF I'm Raft, and the southern 600
yards beyond Ivelle, just below the
present wall gallery. About one-half
of the tunnel facing north will have an
incline of LIS per 1000 yards, just suffi-
cient to cause the water to run off,
while the southern portions will have
an incline of 6.5 per 1000 yards. The
process of boring will be the same as
that followed with the Arlberg tunnel.
Workshops and depots are to be estab-
lished on the right bank of the Rhone,
close to Che northern entrance, at cost
of 100000 francs. The power of work
ing is estimated at 1850 horsepower
viz: $50 for boring purposes, $50 for
ventilation and 266 for electric light
ing, etc.. c., at the end of the tunnel
alone, for which purpose the river
Massa is to be damned in. At the
southern side similar station is to be
established, which is calculated to cost
5000 900 francs and to furnish 2,760
horsepower, derived from damming up
the river Cairasca. The total cost of
the remaining works is estimated at
so, 100000 francs, of which $4,000, 900
francs are contributed by the various
states interested in the scheme. In
order to facilitate the undertaking, a
track is to be laid on the road between
Dornodossala and Iselle, while IN the
borings are to be used Brandts rotary
boring machines. 1t is calculated that
the work will occupy eight years and a

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

White llroths With Vermicelli.-
Light and delicate white broths may be
produced by stirring the yollSs of two
or three fresh eggs with two table,
spoonfuls of cold water, which must
then be poured into the hot broth, gent
ly stirring it all the time, without al
lowing the broth to boil after the eggs
are put in, or they will be curdled.--
Boston Budget.
Cabbage Cooked Like Cauliflower.-
Shave the cabbage as for slaw, put It
on to cook in saucepan with little
slightly salted water Keep closely
covered until tender; then drain off the
water, add a teacupful cream, or less
according to the amount of cabbage; or
milk will do with little butter. Season
to taste with salt and pepper, and add
half teaspoonful cornstarch. When it
boils up well it is ready to serve.'-

Chocolate Pudding One quart of
milk, one and one-half squares of choco-
late, grated, wet with cold milk and
stir into the scalded milk. When the
chocolate is dissolved, pour into pud-
ding-dish, add the yolks of six eggs,
well beaten, and six tablespoonfuls of
sugar. Bake about half an hour. Beat
the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth
and add six tablespoonfuls of sugar.
Spread the frosting on top and set in
the over until light brown.--Home.
Tongue Salad. After the best part
of the tongue has been used on the

governor OF the neighborin4 Isle OF
Guernsey"
$50 no! SO ho!" cried the governor; "a
young Osborne. of Guernsey, going
about the country writing his treason
on inn windows. And you wrote"
But before the governor could finish
his sentence, the beautiful girl pushed
her brother aside and stepped into his
place.
Your eXcellency had best ask mo
about the writing on the window, "she
said. 81 am Dorothy Osborne, and |
wrote nothing on the int window that
| am ashamed to repeat here. God save
the king"
Neither the boy nor the young man
had known that Dorothy Osborne in
tended to make this avowal to save her
brother, and for an instant they were
speechless with surprise. The blood
rushed to young Temples face, and
without stopping to think of the conse
quences, in an outburst of loyalty anC
gallantry he exclaimed:

'God save King Charles" shouted
George Osborne.
Here was a pretty scene for the walls
of the parliamentary castle, and under
the governors very nose. Three young
TRAITORS" asserting their loyalty to the
tottering king.
But Dorothy Osborne knew what she
was doing. Little birds had whispered
to her that she was fair and comely
and she knew that neither king mol
commonwealth made war upon womer
or children. She, pretty young girl
could do with impunity what he
brother might be imprisoned or hange,
for. The event proved that her judg
ment was as good as her courage wa
great.
''You are silly child" the governo
exclaimed, making this an excuse 70

and looking at her as though he woul

they were all marched TO the castle
and arraigned before the governor
The governor of the island was an old
gentleman, but not too old to notice
the beautiful face and modest but dig
nitied bearing of the young lady pris-
oner.
The young gentleman who was trav-
cling alone was first questioned, and
described himself as William Temple,
eldest son of Sir John Temple, He was
a student, he said, and was about to
leave the country on a continental tour
About the writing on the glass he de-
clined to answer any questions.
There is traitor among YOU" said
the governor, land am determined to
find him out Who are you, boy? Step
forward and make yourself known"
At this command the boy stepped up.
"My name is George Osborne" he
said; "and am travelling through his
maicsty's dominions with my sister, on
my own proper concerns"
"Oho," the governor exclaimed.

Here is our young rebel, | doubt not.
But You are over-young to be travelling

file of soldiers marched in the house.
All this commotion was caused by the
discovery of few words written with
diamond upon pane of glass in one
of the parlor windows. There were
only two or three sentences, but they
were terribly reasonable. The first of
them was "God save the king" a SEN
tence that we can hardly imagine ever
to have been thought reasonable in
England. But at that time the king,
Charles L., had incurred the cnmity of
large body of his subjects, and the
country was ruled by parliament and
the army; so in some places it was as
dangerous to express loyalty to the
king as in others it was unsafe to wish
we'll to Cromwell and his army.
1t would have been dangerous to lei
those reasonable words remain on the
parlor window, and very likely the
landlord did not think of a cheap anC
safe way of getting rid of them by
simply breaking the glass. At any rate
he sent word to the authorities, and al
investigation was begun.
The inn people were all strictly Loyal
to the Cromwell government, and az

Sherman's March

Fred Emerson Brooks, q California
poet, tells this story: He visited Gen
eral Sherman two years ago when the
latter was in San Francisco and asked
the privilege OF putting into verse the
story of the march to the sea, some
thing after the style OF II. Buchanan
Reeds "Sheridan's Ride" The gen
eral replied: Mr.. Reed came to me
with the same proposition himself, my
dear young man, on two occasions,
aud begged him not to make the
effort. and to be satisfied with the
fame the Sheridan poem had made for
him-but as you spring from far wes-
tern soil, it will be pleasant for me to
give you the ideas you desire, not that
| care for the eimmortalizationin in verse
so much as do for a voice from this
far western country speaking for the
brave soldiers who carried their guns
all that long march, and made Lee's
surrender a conclusion reached with
out the shedding OF blood This was
the last General Sherman heard OF
the poem, says the indianapolis Jour
nal, until Memorial Day, at Boston
the year before he died-when Mr..
Brooks, who had been chosen to read
the poem OF the day, walked down the
platform, impersonating a blind sol
dier in search OF Sherman. The story
in the poem was OF simple soldier,
full of love, patriotism and devotion,
and at it's completion he aged general
was weeping like a child.

A Popular Mistake Corrected.

Couldn't behotter at the equator, 4"
is common hot weather expression;
a common way of giving the idea OF
intenss heat.
That is a mistake, that is ignorantly
said. 1t "could be hotter" in New
York city than in equatorial Africa,
in the interior, and it often is.
The nights in the torrid zone fire.
quently are cold Travellers sleep,
rigqt over the equator, under a quilt
and pair OF blankets. The author
of "The Greatest Thing in the World"
says that during his hottest month in
Central Africa the thermometer never
registered above 90 degrees.
He gives the reason, and with one
who knows physical geography there
is no question about it.
The interior OF equatorial Africa is
not low land, not ~ steaming jungle,
as is commonly supposed; the land
rises as you go in from the coast,
plateau on plateau, until it is from
three to five thousand feet above the
sea level, and we all know that with
every 300 teet of ascent the thermom-
eter falls a degree.
