A Big Tunnel.

The new double line railway tunnel
made through the Standedge hills
from Marsden to Diggle by the Lon
don and Northwestern Railway Com
pany has been officially inspected and
a certificate has been granted for its
opening, says the Blackburn (Eng
land) Times. The first ordinary train
to run through the tunnel was the 1872
passenger train from Diggle. 1t was
four years ago that the first sod of the
new tunnel was cut. The tunnel Is
three miles and sixty yards long, The
maximum number of men employed

VIII Wheat Turn to Cheat.

Some who read this headline will
say ''yes" and swear to it, while others
equally as well acquainted with the
mysterious in agricultural lore, will
declare that like produces like, and
that one species of grain never sprang
from another. There is but one in
stance on record in all the annals of
agriculture where spike of cheat has
been found in head of wheat. This
curiosity is, or was quite recently at
