MAMMOTH SHOE FACTORY.

ST. Louis, Jan. 1.-THE ground once
occupied by the old st. Vincent s
asylum for the insane is to be utilized
by the HamiIton-Brown Shoe company
in the erection of the largest building
for the manufacture of shoes in
America.
The new factory will cover the entire
block, and. like the company's new
steel store at Twelfth street and WASH
ington avenue, 1t will be modern in
every particular. The style of archi-
lecture has been agreed upon by the
Hanilton-Brown officials, but the
height of the building is yet matter
of discussion. The building will be con-
structed with a, view of meeting the
growing demands of the company
business, which is equivalent to saying
that it will be large enough to accom-
modate $500 or 5000 workmen if neces-
sary. Fifteen hundred workmen will be
given employment in the building when
it is completed, and the number will be
increased just as rapidly as the bust
ness will allow. Equipped with modern
machinery, the plant will represent an
expenditure of considerably more than

CUTTING BIG TREES.
How the Forest Mammoths of Ca
fornia Are Felled.
[F'rom the Engineering Magazine.l

CFrom the Engineering Magazine.1
The chopper approaches the tree with
a plumb line; If the top does not lean
more than two feet in the case of a
large tree, or more than four in the case
of a, small one, he considers that he can
fall 1t in any direction he may desire.
He then views the ground, and selects
the most promising layout" and the
undercut is made exactly facing it. The
undercut" usually extends about one
third through, and then the tree is saw
ed in from the back to meet it. When
the two cuts are within six inches of
meeting the saw is removed and the
tree is wedged up until the top passes
the center of gravity, when 1t falls by
its own weight, easily breaking the strip
OF wood remaining.
Where the surface of the ground is
such that it is necessary for the butt
and the top to strike simultaneously the
stump Is snubbed off at the undercut
which provides a slanting surface, so
that the butt has no place to rest, and
perforce slides to the ground. If the
tree needs to be rolled off to one side
half the undercut is slanted and a pile
of chips is placed on the fiat surface of
the other half; the result never fails
to manifest the efficacy Of this device.
Again, by leaving one side Of the uncut
wood between the undercut and the
sawcut thicker than the other the tree
may be drawn considerably away from
its natural course.

No trouble is more common or more

People having it think their nerves are

real seat of the mischief is lost sight of.
The stomach Is the organ to be looked
after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so much
as in nearly every organ. In some cases
the heart palpitates and is irregular; in
others the kidneys are affected; in 9TH

headaches; still others are troubled with

FAKE WRITER'S
May Yet Receive Punishment Thro'
Mr.. Astor's Lawsuit.

London, Jan. 11.-William Waldorf
Astor is pressing his libel suit against
the proprietor of the Mail for the ac-
count published in that paper and i'll
it's New York ally, of an imaginary din
ner party given on the Cliveden grounds
on section Of a famous California
redwood tree.
Mr.. Astor AYERS in the pleadings that
the whole account Is pure invention and
held him up to public ridicule.
He. has listed the suit for trial at the
ensuing session of court before a spec
ial jury. He has engaged Sir Edward
Clarke, Q. c., ex-solieitor general, as
his leading counsel, while Alfred Harms
worth has retained Edward Carson, @.
c., who now stands at the head of the
English bar as a fighting counsel. Car
son formerly was at the Irish bar, and
was Arthur Balfour's chief agent in
administering Irish coercion.
Legal general opinion here concurs
in regarding Mr.. Astor's suit as USE
less, but he has been angered because
Mr.. Harmsworth refused to apologize
for what was a palpable fake.

WOMEN AT YALE.
Have Finally Established Their Posi-
ton Upon a Permanent Footing.

LFrom New York Mail and Express.
The large number of women students
enrolled in the graduate department of
Yale at the present time calls attention
to a feature of academic life which Is
assuming larger proportions every year.
1t was in 1892 that the educational
world was somewhat startled by the
information that the corporation of
Yale had decided to open its graduate
department to bachelors of art without
distinction of SEX and there were many
foreU arnings concerning the failure of
such an iconoclastic departure.
During the six years that the expert
ment has been under way the women
students have had to struggle against
innumerable difficulties. but 1T is be-
lieved that at last they have estab-
lished their position upon a permanent
footing. There is hardly any member OF
the faculty who does not have a good
word to say in their favor, and even the
undergraduates are beginning to regard
their presence upon the campus with in
difference. The official catalogue of the
present year has not yet been published,
but it is known that there are, at the
present time, about forty women stu
dents at Yale.
