A pretty and well dressed young
woman attracted u crowd in front of

Tunneling the Alps.

The most difficult feature in the cor
struction Of the tunnel under the Sim
plon range in the Alps is the keeping
down Of the temperature. As It will
run about 1000 feet beneath the sum-
NIT Of Mount Leone, the temperature
will be about 104 degrees Fair. It
reached SO degrees during the digging
Of the ST. Gothard tunnel, and the
health of the workmen was seriously
affected. A careful system of ventila-
ton will be used in the simplon tun-
mel.

On the foregoing basis he places the
cost per bushel on different yields per
acre, including 6 cents per bushel in
each instance for thrashipg, thus:
Is bu. per acre cost "a cents per bu.
10 blu. per acre cost 20 cents per blu.

average of AZ 1-3 bushels on a 20-acre

ty the same year raised so bushels per
acre on 100 acres; Israel McComas OF

on a 19-acre field, and Warren Fulton

loss OF appetite and inability to sleep, especially
when it is accompanied by severe pains, be.
cause it signifies q general breaking down Of
the whole system. Some serious arrangement
is the cause, probably existing in the stomach
or one Of the other great vital organs, the liv-
er or kidneys, causing the blood to be contain
mated, and all parts of the body to become
weakened and diseased in sympathy. Such
troubles cannot be taken care of too soon, and
that which will cure the quickest should be-
sought Immediately. Nothing will produce
such favorable and quick results as Kickapoo
Indian saswa, which is sold to-day by oil

same as it was centuries ago, when it was used
by the Indians, when it made them famous
for lives Of perfect health and great Duration.

bate. The prices for q a are tele-
graphed broadcast to every town large
enough to consume a car of potatoes,
melons, tomatoes or any other product
raised for distant markets. The great

Horses Sore Mouth.

Many horses, especially during the
first year of their working period, are
constantly in possession Of a ore
mouth, and this not only fuses the
animal great suffering and usually loss
of flesh, but is also a matter Of great
inconvenience to the driver, says an
exchange. This, If continued for sew
eral months, is also Liable to leave the
animal with a chronic habit, such as
throwing the head while hitching or
unhitching. We have in view n very
valuable young horse, owned by a
neighbor, which became almost worth
less OF account of the habit of throw
ing it's head, and at the same time lung
ing sideways into the bitches. The most
effective plan which we have aver tried
consists of winding any ordinary bit at
the corners and down on the same for
about an inch, with tanned %sheepskin
(Which can be procured at any harness
store), being ure that 1t is not too
thick and heavy. With this we'll wound
on, now have a cup of sulphur, and
each time as the bit is placed in the
horses mouth moisten the leather and
rub on a little of the pulverized arti-
Gle. It is we'll also to lengthen the bril-
die as much as possible during this
time and not drive with a tight check
ing rein. After having adopted this
plan we succeeded in curing a young
horse of a very sore mouth which was
contracted during the working period
the past season.

A WISE SHERIFF.

Sheriff Palm of Austin county, is
a wise sheriff. When the citizens
of Austin county surrounded the
Jail in which the negro, Drummer,
was confined. Palm saw that a
lynching was inevitable and quietly
got out of the way and stayed out
of the way. He could not have
made wiser move. No sheriff can
successfully resist the will of the
people when they are aroused as
were the people at Bellville, and no
man with an ounce of brains would
stay in a Jail and shoot his friends
trying to protecta vile negro rapist.
Sheriff Palm did just right. Under
the new law a sheriff who has a
prisoner taken away from him by a
mob forfeits his Office, but the law
hasn't gone into effect yet. Said
an officer the other day on this
point: after this when a sheriff
has rape fend in custody who he
knows is likely to be lynched, he
can send his deputies out of the
way, tell his prisoner to step in
front and proceed to shoot his head
off. Then when his deputies get
back he can tell them that his
prisoner tried to escape and he had
TO shoot him. This would be the
best way out of the trouble.

The Advance Guard.

The advance guard of the great
army of one-legged and one-armed
AMEN and boys from the North
reached Sinner last week. They
come with printed cards which they
hand you begging for nickle or a
dime. They often travel in droves
and at Corsicana one day last week
three of them attacked policeman
and beat him nearly to death with
their crutches because he would
not let them ride on a passenger
train free of charge. Many of them
are insulting and impudent and if
YOU refuse to give them anything
will curse you rs they walk off.
They are never going anywhere in
particular but just make general
,our of the country plying their
trade-begging. Their earnings
easily average about rs day and
when they make the rounds of the
private residences, as they often do,
their profits double this, as the
ladies will always give cripple
money. Every one sympathizes
with the afflicted and the loss of an
arm or leg is surely great af-
fiction. but when hundreds of per-
sons make such an affliction the
basis for making begging a general
business, it gets to be q nuisance
and ceases to attract sympathy.
When one of these fellows hands
YOU one of his cards bear in mind
that in all probability his income
is larger than yours and that he
probably has comfortable bank
account at home. AS the cotton
season progresses there will be
scores of these cripples along and
Sinner will get her share of them.
They almost invariably claim to
have been injured in a mine ex-
plJsion or railroad accident.
