The days of perilous mountain climb

frau, oncea terror to venturesome tour
lists in Switzerland, will lose much of
it's charm when the railway to it's sum-
NIT, which has justbeen started, is fin
ished. When the. alpenstock gives way
to the railway ticket, the Jungfrau will
be esteemed common and vulgar by
those who take delight in accomplish-

But the thrifty Swiss will make no OBJ
lection to this, for he knows that with
a railroad in operation ten tourists will
favor him with his patronage where
one comes at present. ~.

Replies to the circular of the Turkish

decline to admit the Turkish preten-
