WORKING ON MOUNTAIN TOPS.
Facts Furnished by Engineers of the
New PeruYian Railway.

Facts Furnished by Engineers of the
New Peruvian Railway.
Some practical facts are furnished by
the experience of the workmen engaged
In the construction of the new Central
Railway over the main range of noun
taIns in Peru. The line starts from Lima,
in latitude twelve degrees. The summit
tunnel OF this line at Galeria is at the
hight OF l5,645 feet, or a little under the
hight OF Mount Blanc, but it must be re-
membered that the climatic conditions
are very different and more unfavorable
in Peru than in Europe. +. Lane, the
engineer-in-ch chief finds that the work
men up to an altitude OF 5000 or 10000
feet do about the same relative guam
tlty of work as at sea level, provided
they have been Injured to the hight or
brought up in the country. At 1000 feet
the amount OF work, and at Il, 900 to 49,
QUO full third has to be deducted from
the amount that the same man could per-
form at sea level.
Owing to the absence of malaria the
percentage of efficient labor at the great
est elevation is a very high one. Men
coming from the coast are not found capa-
bic of doing efficient work for about two
weeks on an average when taken to high
elevations. The capacity gradually in
creaSeS and reaches its maximum in a
few weeks or months, according to the
constitution OF the individual. The ma
jority of the laborers are "Cholos," or
Indians born in the Sierra. They are
found incapable of doing efficient work
on the coasts or in the warmer attitudes
without long course of acclimatization.
If gangs of these "Cholos'' have for
special purposes been taken down sud-
denly from the Sierra to work at attitudes
of from 1000 to 5000 feet, sickness and
fever have resulted from the change.
Mules and horses are found TO do about
the same efficient work proportion
ately as human beings up to about II 900
climate best, but, again, require some
weeks of acclimatization, and if urged to
undue exertion at great attitudes they are
liable to drop dead suddenly. 1t may be
remarked that the region OF perpetual
snow in the district begins at about 900
feet.-Nineteenth Century.

Needless Waste.

A few hints in regard to careless waste
fulness are well worth considering.
Waste in the kitchen is often very great
from apparently trivial sources.
In cooking meats the water is thrown
out without removing the grease, or the
grease from the dripping pan is thrown
away.
Scraps of meat are thrown away.
Cold potatoes are left to sour and spoil
Dried fruits are not looked after and be-
come wOrmy.
Vinegar and sauce are left standing in
tin.
Apples are left to decay for want of
Sorting over"
The tea canister is left open.
Victuals are left exposed to be eaten by
the mice.
Bones of meat and the carcass of turkey
are thrown away when they could be
used making good soups.
Sugar, tea, coffee and rice are careleSSly
spilled in the handling.
Soup is left to dissolve and waste in the
water.
Dish towels are used for dish cloths.
Napkins are used for dish towels.
Towels are used for holders.
Brooms and mops are not hung up.
More coal is burned than necessary by
not arranging dampers when not using
the fire.
Lights are left burning when not
used.
Tin dishes are not properly cleansed
and dried.
Good. new brooms are used in scrub
bing kitchen floors.
Silver spoons are used in scraping ket-
ties.
Cream is left to mold and spoil.
Mustard is left to spoil in the cruise, etc.
Pickles become spoiled by the leaking
out or evaporation of the vinegar.
Pork spoils for want of salt, and beef
because the brine wants scalding.
Hams become tainted or filled with yer-
min for want of care.
Cheese molds and is eaten by mice and
vermin.
Tea and coffee pots are injured on the
stove.
Woodenware is unscalded, and left to
warp and crack.
And so on and on indefinitely, and it is
important that the eye of the mistress be
ever vigilant, no matter how competent
the help may be considered, or how
thorough the housekeeper.-Phil Philadelphia

PUNISHMENT IN PENN's TIME.
The Hand of the Law Fell Heavily in
Pennsylvania's Early Days.

The unhappy people who are being
sent to Jail or have costs to pay at Media
this week, says the Chester, Pa, NelgS,
can thank their stars that they did not
live in the early days of the colony OF
Pennsylvania. The Assembly that con-
vened at Chester December t, 1852.
enacted code of laws that made the peo-
pie OF the new colony live up to the
mark, and, while many of the several
penalties of the Duke of York's Code
were softened, yet the unfortunate
deemed them harsh enough. The man
or woman who used profane language
was punished by tine or imprisonment,
and more than one person had reason for
regret for expressing their feelings in
public with too much emphasis.
The severest punishment was meted
out for licentious conduct. A public
whipping and one years Imprisonment
was the penalty for the graver degrees of
this crime, while a second oflense was
punishable by imprisonment for life.
Ihe law was amended in l705, the first
onense being punished by the infliction
OF twenty-one lashes and Imprisonment
for one year or IA fine of $50. y second
conviction subjected the culprit to seven
years Imprisonment and the letter "a"
was branded on his forehead The man
that had more than one wife, instead of
being an object of commiseration, was
liable to be sent to Jail for life, while the
man who broke into house and stole
was sent to Jail for four months. He had
| to work like beaver, however, and un-
less he restored fourfoid to the party the
court sent him up for seven years to give
him time for reflection.
Murder was punished with death and
the forfeiture of half the estate of the
telon. Theft was punished with public
whipping and various terms of imprison-
ment, while restitution had to be made
| from threefold to iourfold. The minor
regulations prohibited all persons from
taking part in stage plays, revels,
masques and kindred worldly pursuits,
so that any troupe that had chanced to
drop into Pennsylvania with the tara
ra- boom -Ge-ay would have been sent
higher than Gilderoy's kite. Drink
ing of health was punishable by fine of
five shillings or five days Imprisonment,
and horse racing, shooting matches and
sports of like character were interdcted.
If the offenders happened to be slaves
they were whipped and imprisoned in
stead OF fined.

POSTED ON BANK BUSINESS.

Tommy, the Cashier, Objected to the
Making OF Any Temporary Loan.
The old gentleman had been trying to
lnstlll into his son some idea OF business
thrift, says the Detroit Free Press, and to
help the lesson along had brought home
a toy bank.
"Now, Tommy" he said, "PIl be Pres
ldent OF this bank and you'll be cashier.
Your mother and sisters will be stock
holders. Christmas We'll open it, and
declare dividend. Well put something
in it every day"
The old gentleman put in dime, Tom
my and his sisters nickel each, and his
mother a dime.
wen let what put in represent the
interest on the other deposits" went on
the old gentleman. you keep track of
what the others put in, and when we
open the bank the interest will be divided
proportionately among the depositors."
Tommy said he thought he under
stood, and put down in a book what each
had deposited. For couple of weeks all
went smoothly. Every morning alter
breakfast each member of the family was
called upon for something to deposit in
the bank. But one evening the old
gentleman had to go downtown and dis
covered he had no street car fare-noth-
ing less than ten-dollar bill-and he re-
called the change in the bank. He

next morning when the deposits were
called for Tommy announced that the
bank was busted and had closed its doors.
''Why, Tommy, what do you mean?"
asked the old gentleman.
1.-The Presidents been monkeying with
the finances" said Tommy, "and there
is shortage"
"But that was only temporary loan,"
explained the old gentleman, coloring up
little.
"Oh, yes; that's what they always
say" said Tommy. "That's the usual
CUSTOM"
"But it will be repaid at once"
"No use," said Tommy, shortly.
"Why not?"
"Hushl 1 guess you don't know any,
thing about banks !" exclaimed Tommy.
when the President gets to monkeying
with the funds the Cashier CUTS the bank
while he has the chance, cause he knows
he won't have it long. Only a fool
Cashier is going to let the President get
ahead of him.
Tommy" said the old gentleman,
severely, as he looked in the direction of
the woodshed, 'do you know what hap
pens to the Cashier if he is caught ?''
Yep" replied Tommy, promptly.
HE generally compromises so as to put
the bank on its feet again. am willing
to pay all the depositors in full without
interest. Seeing as the President put up
the interest in this case | guess l ought to
lose it, specially as Ive only got Is cents
of it left.''
II was compromised on that basis. and
the old gentleman has reached the con-
clusion that Tommy is destined to be
Wall-street broker.

Lord Bute's Residence, Which Covers
More Than an Acre of Ground.
The rebuilding of Mount Stuart, Lord
Bute's palace near Rothesay, Scotland.
makes it the most magnificent residence
in Great Britain. The base of the build
ing, as described by the st. Louis Repub-
Tic, covers a fraction more than an acre
and is built in the medieval Gothic style
of the thirteenth century. The walls.
turrets and balconies are built of the
beautiful variegated GRANTEES and sand
stones from Klrcudbrightshire, the floors
and arches being of clouded Italian mar
Dles. The main hall is constructed en-
tirely of alabaster, the supports being
columns of oxidized brass and bronze,
The gallery and grand staircase are of
marbles brought from Sicily and Carrara.
The hedrawing-roomsa are paneled with alter
nate stripes OF cherry, walnut and ebony,
all from America. The main dining
room, which was built SO as to accommO-
date 80 guests, Is finished alter the style
of the drawing-rooms, with the exception
of relief figures and mosaics of fish game
animals, etc. The ceiling and chimney
pieces of these rooms are most artistic
and so also are the windows, mantels and
doors, the work of which is extremely
elaborate. There are three immense L.
braries and a billiard-room, all with
carved stone tire-places of antique de-
sign. In one wing there are Turkish and
swimming baths, large conservatories,
aviaries, aquariums, etc. The whole pal
ace is heated throughout with steam and
hot-water pipes, and lighted both by gas
and electricity. The pictures in the gall
lery alone are worth S500,000, and the
books in the library as much more. The
building, decorating and furnishing of
this palace, which is without doubt the
finest private residence on the globe, en-
tailed an outlay OF sl,000,0OO, nearly
S5,000,00O.

NUTS THAT CAN DANCE.

Moved by an Insect Inside.
A remarkable curiosity is nut which
grows at Hermosillo, Sonora, Old Mex
leo. 1t is called the nuez del diablo
which means the nut of the devil. sat
urday afternoon Major Davis, who is Just
now holding down Colonel Barber's
chair as Adjutant-General in the Depart
ment of Dakota, was sitting in his easy
chair contemplating half dozen of the
meats of these nuts. which had just been
sent north by an officer of the regular
army who is now in Mexico. The nuts
were dancing about in very mysterious
way, and Pioneer Press man and sew
eral others who were watching the
strange performance were completely
mystitied.
'rll not tell you what is the matter
with these nuts" said the Major. Pm not
going to give away my trick. When a
man learns a good sleig ight-of-hand per-
formance is he going to give it away for
nothing? 1 guess not"
The nuts continued to dance, and Lieu
tenant Sturgis, who was as much in the
dark as the reporter, began a critical eX-
animation of the crazy objects supposed
TO be inaninate.
s.. "Oh, yes, l think 1 have the trick -
said the Lieutenant. "There is some
thing alive in these nuts. There is a
strange throbbing in them.'
The reporter picked up one of the nuts,
and surely enough there was very pc
culiar throbbing sensation in it. The
Major was so thoroughly amused by this
time that he could no longer withhold the
secret. 1t seems that worm is born in
side of the meat of this nut, and that it
lives there for some weeks and dies with
out seeing the light of day. The worm
eats out the inside of the meat, then be-
comes restive and moves about great
deal. 1t is in this period that the nuts be-
come apparently animate. The moving
of the worm causes the nut to turn about

WHY HIS NERVE FAILED.

Restrained From Committing Crime
by the ''Oo-o-o'' OF Baby.
The burglar was not bad looking man,
although his business had bad look,
says the Detroit Free Press. He stood
by the door of a sleeping room and peer
ed in. a faint light was burning and he
could hear the measured breathing of
some one asleep. Cautiously he crept in
side, STOPPING low and looking around.
No one there save sleeping woman. In
an instant cloth, saturated with ether
was thrown over her face, and he waited
one, two, three-ten minutes, and the
stentorious breathing of the sleeper told
him the drug was doing its work. With
a dexterous hand he seized the jeweIry
and money lying Oh the dressing case
and began quick search in the drawers
of the case. 100000" came a voice
from the shadows OF the room. Quick as
flash the burglar clutched his silent
knife and turned to meet his victim. No
one was there. ''Oo-oo,n came the voice
again, and the burglar saw child in its
crib by the foot of the bed 1t was a
pretty baby, sleepily holding up its
hands to him. He let his knife fall 10
his side, and, stepping over TO the crib,
touched the child. 1t cooed again softly,
and held up its arms for him 10 take it.
The impulse was beyond his control
and he lifted the baby to his bosom and
it nestled its soft. white cheek down to
his and put its white arm around his
neck. He purred to it and in moment
its curly head was laid against his face
and it was asleep again. Never seen a
kid like that" he whispered to himself.
Most of 'em is afraid of strangers" and
tenderly he laid it in the crib. Then he
went back to the dressingcase. He stood
still moment and then looked furtively
over his shoulder toward the crib. The
sleeping face of the child was turned to-
ward him. Slowly he replaced on the
case all he had taken from it, hastily

Words to the Wise.

Politeness is too cheap to be scarce.
We could all be great men If we could
be measured by the great things we in
tend to do tomorrow.
Only so far as a man is happily mar
ried to himself is he fit tor married life
and family life generally.
Marriage is the comfort of the consid-
crate and prudent, but the torment oi
the inconsiderate and selt-willed.
The poor too often turn away unheard
from hearts that shut against them with
a sound that will be heard in heaven.
In marriage, if you possess anything
very good, it makes you eager to get
everything else good of the same sort.
Marriage is the metempsychosis OF
women; it turns them into different crea-
lures from what they were before.
1t is error that dwarfs the intellect, mar
row the range of thought, poisons the
moral feelings, and corrupts the life.
The man who spends his life in ''get-
ting even' for real or supposed injuries is
a torment to himself and generally bore
to his friends.
