LOOKING FOR WORK,
Not Much Chance for Men Who Go to
Switzerland.

Switzerland.
Mr.. George Clifford. l.. s. consul at Basic,
Switzerland, has made Il report to the State
Department in regard to the hardships of
emigrants returning from profitless jour-
neys to the United States. from which it
appears that Switzerland is a poor field for
Americans and others in search of employ
neat.~ "As is wei Known he says, Large
numbers of persons who emigrated to the
United States in former years are now re-
turning to Europe in search of employ
ment. They are people who have saved at
least enough to pay the cost of the trip,
and therefore belong. for the most part,
to the better class Of immigrants. Not in
frequently families that have become
American citizens, with children who were.
perhaps, born in the United States. arrive
in Switzerland. for instance, after expend-
ing their entire resources for the trip.
They are impelled to take this serious step
by the same hope of improving their mate
rial condition that once led them to seek
home in the new world So far as this part
of Europe is concerned, these hopes are
generally far from being realized. for there
is hardly employment enough for persons
already settled here.
The chief branches of business in the
centerS OF Basic ard NATURALIZATION
weaving, watch making ard the manufac
ture of coors and chemicals-are not en-
joying period of especial prosperity, and
are by no means in need of Jan increased
number of operatives. The building trades
and day labCt are more than amply sup
piled by the resident working people and
by the large number of Italians whose SER
vices are sometimes employed to the exclu-
sion of the natives of the country on ac-
count of the extremely low wages with
which they content themselves. The con-
sequence is that the returned emigrants
often find themselves In a state of complete
restitution soon after their arrival. While
seeking iii vain for employment, they have
with all the clothing and effects they can
spare. American citizens and others in
this unfortunate situation often apply for
assistance to 1eturn to the United States.
having the impression that there are gov
eminent funds available for that purpose
If / could only get back home I should he
all right. / could earn something at least
but here I shall starve,' is the expression
which, with many variations of form. is
now constantly heard. Some of these peo-
pie. to be sure, are not especially deServ-
ing, and have no claim to assistance as
American citizens But there are enough
of the latter. who are at the same time
honest ard Industrious men, to make the
matter one of serious consequence. The
resources they sacrifice for the trip to Eu-
rope. and while looking for work here,
could, ii seems to me, be better used in
awaiting complete revival of business
at home, even In cases where 1t is impos-
sible to find employment at reduced wages,
for here business is duller and wages lower
where a returned cmigrant finds work. it
will take him a long time to earn enough
to go back to the United States should he
ever desire to do So.

WASHINGTON AaUEDUCT.
Col. E1Iiot's Report of the Operations
During Last Month.

Col. Elliot. corps of engineers. has made
a report to Gen. Casey of operations on
the Washington aoueduct during the month
of January. He says that it has become
necessary to protect the mouth of the con-
duit and other works at Great Falls from
damage by high water and ice. The work
of repairing the Conduit road between the
distributing reservoir and culvert 2i was
commenced, but had to be suspended on
account Of the bad weather. fence has
been constructed on the side of the Con-
duit road at waste weir No. 3 to prevent
pedestrians from falling into the deep
channel at that point. bad break &C.
Cured in the twenty-four-foot main at
Sd and K streets on the I'D ultimo, in con-
sequence of the use of defective iron. Inc
necessary repairs were made at once.
In regard to the Improvement at the
Dalecarlia reservoir, Col. Elliot says that
the work of eXcavating and timbering the
tunnel under the hill east of Little Falls
branch was continued night and day, WITH
three shifts of miners. until the 10Th ultl-
mo, when ii was completed. The length OF
feet. The whole length of heading is 3SI
feet. The work of trimming the rock on
the bottom and sides of the tunnel Tor ITS
hrick-arched lining has been completed, as
has also the pla cling Of the concrete founda-
ton of the vitrified brick invert of the
tunnel The facing of the upper side OF
the dam across the mouth of Mill creek,
with stone, to protect the earth slope from
the effect of wind waves, was about one
half completed. The driving of sheet piles
to the number of 3SS was completed.
The construction of the dam across the
valley Of Little Falls branch, just below
the completed shaft, has also been COM
pleted. This shaft is about sixty feet deep.
From the water cushion at its bottom,
leads the thousand-foot tunnel under Daic-
carlia hill and aqueduct tunnel, NO. 4.
The shaft and tunnel are expected to carry
all the water collected by the Improvement
works, from the 1900 acres of watershed
of the reservoir. to point below the reser-
yoir whence it Will flow naturally into the
Potomac river, and be carried to the sea.

PENSION DECISIONS.
Some Important Questions Passed on
by Assistant Secretary Reynolds.

Sop,e Important Questions PASSED. on
by Assistant Secretary Reynolds.
Some important decisions on pension
questions have been promulgated by AS
sistant Secretary OF the Interior Reynolds.
IN the case of Frederick w. kerner OF
New Jersey, Judge Reynolds holds that
where n soldier pensioned on account of
deafness walks alongside of a railroad
track to save distance, and is struck by a
car and injured, the injury Is primarily
due to his own negligence, and only re-
motely If at all, to his deafness. III
he is subject to some infirmity which in
creaSes the risks, it is held that his onl-
cation to avoid the dangerous situation is
SO much the greater. To establish Claim
alleged to have been incurred by reason
of the disability pensicnabie, it must be
satisfactorily shown that the accident was
directly occasioned by the pre-eXisting dis
ability and not due to negligence or care
lessness of the claimant.
Pension attorneys are held to be entitled
to their fees when the evidence to eStab-
lish a claimants right to pension is COM
pleted. The fee, according to the son.
will rest in the personal representative of
the attorney if he should die before allow
ance of claim or issuance OF certificate.
The rights of an attorney are declared to
be determined by his legal status at the
time the claim is completed, and without
reference to the date OF adjudication.
The widow of a soldier or sailor, says
the assistant secretary, whose husband
Voluntarily served in the confederate army
or navy. either prior to or subsequent to
his service in the United States army. is
not entitled to a pension under the act Ct

NECKTIES ALWAYS NEW.
Mr.. Feathers Learns the Secret of Mr..
Ginks' Attractive Assortment.

MIR. Feathers Learns the Secret of Mr..
Ginks' Attractive Assortment.
II am somewhat curious by nature" said
Mr.. Feathers recently, land sometime ago
I was struck by the remarkable number
of new neckties worn by young Mr.. Ginks
who sits opposite me at our boarding house
table. proceeded to study them and after
a week or two I discovered that they were
not only always smooth and fresh, but
that their appearance was regulated ac-
cording to their hues. For two days he
would wear a black and gray tie, for in
stance; then a black Powered red ground
affair would creep out from his bosom and
then two or three other combinations
would be worn. AT last I could re-
strain myself no longer and asked Ginks
to explain to me his necltie system. He
looked mysterious and beckoned me to a
secluded corner.
Mr.. Feathers he said. earnestly, I
feel that I can confide In you thoroughly.
The scarfs You have so kindly admired are
five in number, and are all l have. wear
one until it gets soiled, ana then l drop 1t
in gasoline outside of my window. After
the liquid has evaporated take the scarf
in and every sign of dirt has disappeared.
BY doing this in rotation with the five ties
I keep up appearance that would cost
more than l could afford If l depended
upon new ones ~
Interesting information" said Mr. Feathers
in conclusion, land do not doubt that
many others like him know the value of
gasoline a cleansing article, and put IL
to good use. 1 hope they all use it In the
Cpan air however. as 1t is very volatile
and infian,mable liquid and is liable to ex-
plode if exposed In a room where there IS
d. gaslight or fire"

THE COMING STORM
Weather Bureau Still Promises Some
Bad Weather.
SNOW AND RAIN TONIGHT
Still Another Storm Gathering Its
Forces in the West.
THE AREA OF SN w

The thaw We long for has not come yet
The weather officials confess that their
prophecy as to snow last night or this
morning was slightly premature, but that
their promises shall be fulfilled before
night closes in. 1t is coming. That storm
which was first seen raging and blowing
and clustering and raining in the central
gulf region is coming this way. 1t has
moved to the South Atlantic states and is
increasing in intensity. 1t Is not known
Just how earnestly 1t Will attack Washing
ton, but snow is scheduled for this even
ing. 1t is also thought that because of the
Using temperature this will turn into rain.
Should this prove to he, the prospect of a
jam at the Long bridge and food looms
up. The Indications are it will be warm
rain AMI this will, if continued any con-
siderable length of time. produce sudden
collapse of the ice iI the river. The lndi-
cations are for northeast winds. and this
is an important factor to be taken into ac-
count. n northeast wind will drive the ice
down stIe with added velocity, thus
increasing the chance for Hood, should
the Long bridge withstand the pressure
that Will be brought against 1t. There is a
possibility that, with a breakup of the
ice and a northeastern. the Long bridge 1t
self may take cruise down river. The
present unfavorable conditions are not
wholly the result of that gulf storm. The
west is in a measure responsible. Chief of
the Weather Bureau H. a. HaZen said this
morning there was a complication of west
ern and southern conditions. He thought
that there would be snow tonight, possibly
followed by rain, and then clearing, fol-
lowed by northeasterly winds.

ABOUT CHAMPAGNE.
1t Contains Little Alcohol, but is Very
EXhilaratinE.

From the Philadelphia Press.
There are two peculiarities about cham
payne drinking which are capable of ex-
PLANTATION. The one is the rapidly with
which the wine eXhilarates, notwithstand-
ing the small proportion of alcohol which
it contains. This is due to the carbonic
acid gas evolved, which is inhaled while
drinking, for 1t is the property of this
gas to expedite the action of anything
with which it is associated. 1t is estir,at-
ed that one g,ass of champagne is equal
in effect to two glasses of still wine Of
the same strength and is more rapid in
action. The other regularity is the sort
of lethargy or deafness which follows af-
ter excessive champagne drinking This
is analogous to the stupor produced by
oarbcnic acid gas; but il is assisted ard
intensified by the excess of sugar derang-
ing the stomach. The uEdigested sugar
much champagne is apt to produce dys-
persia.
Herein we find both the blessing and the
bane of this popular 1quor.
Sweetness is often confused with rich
ness in wines; but Us a matter of fact
sweetness is often produced by the ad-
dition of sugar, especially in champagneS.
1t has been compared to charity. in that
it covers a multitude of sins. The rich
ness proceeding from natural saccharine
is produced by natural arrest of the
process Of fermentation. leaving an ex-
cess of saccharine in the liCror 1t &C.
ours mostly in the hot climates, but in
artificial arrest of fermentation AS a
medicine, however. champagne is best
dry, and its tendency then is to thin
the blood.

Try Hot Water.

During dangerous weather of this sort, y
said the old doctor, the most careful per-
sons are apt to catch cold in their chests
that will extend swiftly to he lungs If not
attended to. 1t usually makes its presence
known by CONSTRUCTED sensation just under
the breast bone, where the flesh is thinnest.
When a person experiences this feeling he
can rest assured that he can procure al
most instant relief by drinking a cup of
water as hot as he can bear to take in the
mouth and to swallow. There is no better
medicine in the world to arrest the progress
of a cold than hot water, and, besides it's
effect upon the stomach and the system
generally, is beneficial in the highest de-
gree. And in sore throat the same remedy
will be found almost a specific"

Toes and Heels.

II am frequently struck, in sloppy wealth

the air Of a profound philosopher Now.
when a careful man, who detests having
his shoes or trousers splattered, comes to
wet street crossing he invariably rises
upon the tips of his toes and picks his way
over by means of the least disagreeable
spots. When a woman is confronted with
such an an emergency, however. she pulls
up her skirts, elevates her toes in the air.

Long she stood at the window and unused.

themselves in her Titan hair, or surround

limbed like goddess, she was indeed
magnificent specimen of femininity.

soft, self-pitying. half-happy smile fitted
across her face like a CLEAN of April sun
