The serious ills of women develop
from neglect of early symptoms. Every
pain and ache has cause, and the
warning they give should not be disre-
garded.
Mrs. Pinkham understands these
troubles better than any local ply
sician and will give every woman free
advice who is puzzled about her
health. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass. Don't put off writing until
health is completely broken down.

to make three or four ordinary writ
Ing tables. Young couples have start
ed housekeeping before now in house
whose floor surface appeared no great
er than the top Of that desk. It was
covered with newspapers and maps, in
which the marquis was evidently much
interested.
I believe" he said, chat the pro-
posed tunnel would bring a great
change to Ireland, and although, Of
course, 1t is an undertaking that would
have appalled, the engineer of a gener-
alton ago. I am told that there is no
mechanical difficulty today that stands
in the way Of 1t. The total length Of
the tunnel under the sea would be
twenty-five miles and the approaches
on either side would be, about five
miles each, making thirty-five miles in
ell. OF course that is about three
times as long as any tunnel yet built.
The Simplon is about thirteen miles,
isn't it? And the st. Gothard TUNE,
is something like nine miles long. But
1t Is astonishing what progress the en-
gineers have made, and It Is likely that
in the course Of ten years It would take
to build the tunnel still further pro-
gress would be made. 80 that the sec
ond half might be done In less time
than the first half would take.
However, that is matter for the
experts to talk about. What am most
sure about is that the tunnel will be a
great saving Of time. It takes six
hours to get from London to Carlisle.
BY means Of the tunnel It would. be-
possible to 90 from Carlisle to Belfast
An from two to three hours. With the
improvements that are to be expected
In ten years It should be possible to
1et from Belfast to Galway in three
hours. That makes eleven or twelve
hours from London to Galway" s

along parallel with the Scotch coast
With the route as at present laid out
it is estimated that the tunnel at its
deepest point would be 500 feet under
the surface of the sea, and that the
steepest gradient will be one in seven
ty-fve, which is nothing extraordi-
nary.
Any American engineer would con-
slider the estimate of ten years time
required for this job to be rather lib
eral. for great progress has been made
IN the speed Of tunnel digging in the
last twenty-five years. When St. Goth
ard tunnel was begun in 1872 the high
est rate Of progress was two and half
yards a day. Eleven years later the
average rate of progress in the Arlberg
tunnel was twelve yards day. Since
then the increase has been rapid, and
if chance is given to American con-
tractors to bid on the tunnel, the Brit
!sh public will be rather likely to dis
cover that It wouldn't take ten years to
tie England and Ireland together with
steel.
Not little doubt has been express
ed about the financial feasibility of this
extraordinary undertaking. Would the
government have to go down into its
pocket to. find the 3 per cent? It is
said in reply that a large part of Ire
lands growing commerce would reach
England through the tunnel, which
would expect to compete with the
channel steamers in price, and, Of
course, far outrun them in speed. It is
said, furthermore, that the Green Isle
has vast possibilities as yet undevelop-
ed, and only waiting for something to
come along and stir them up. Owing
to the efforts Of Irish capitalists, tour
lists are beginning to take greater in
terest in the island than they ever
took before, and II 1t were not such
difficult place to reach, they could be
expected to 60 there In shoals. As the
route to Scotland would be so short
and quick, It Is expected that Irish pro-
duce would find q new and profitable
market in the manufacturing towns Of
Scotland and the north Of England.

Plans tof 4 By Tunnel Under The Irish Sea
Which viii Connect ireland and Scotland

Money Is ready and plans are laid
tor q tunnel that will make all tunnels
dug hitherto seem rather insignificant,
and that incidentally will bring the
United States and Europe several
hours nearer. It is believed that it will
begin new era for Ireland and will
advance Belfast many steps in the
scale OF Importance. It is proposed to
perform all Of these wonders by drill
ling . $60,000.000 hole thirty-five miles
through the rock under the northern
part OF the Irish sea, through which
passengers could be whisked by train.
and could thus travel from London to
Galway or Queenstown without chang
Ting cars. All that the plan waits for
now is guarantee from the British
government Of 8 per cent on the CAPT.
tai invested from the time that the
tunnel is in working order. A big
meeting was held the other day in a
committee room Of the house Of COM
mons, presided over by the Marquis of
Londonderry, former lord lieutenant of
ireland, in which the enterprise was
doomed vigorously by lord Rosebery
and the Earl Of Spencer and many 9TH
er important personages. A deputation
was sent to the first lord Of the treas
ury to talk persuasively to him about
the 3 per cent part Of the business, and
the government is considering the
question. If the government guaran-
tees the interest the preliminary work
will begin at once, and it is expected
that the tunnel will be completed in
about ten years from the time the first
sod is turned. When the time comes
to turn that sod the man to do It really
ought to be Lord Londonderry, whose
powerful influence has been exerted for
1t ever since it appeared that the plan
was practicable. To him, therefore,
I applied for information on the sub
5ect, although lords of high degree are
not much given to granting interviews
In England.
Lord Londonderry's great town
house in artistocratic Park lane in
London is as grim and forbidding out
side as it is spacious and luxurious
within. The marquis was in his libra

one must suppose to be the grandfath-
er of all desks, for it was big enough

have an important effect upon the de.
velopment of ireland. It is an affair
OF national Importance. The money, !
understand, can be had as soon as the
government guarantees the interest but
che stockholders will not ask the gov
eminent to step in until the work is
entirely done and the plant is ready
for operation. I know little about the
plans or the financial part Of the
work, but have no doubt American
capital would be largely interested.
But one thing is certain, the effort
to interest the government is entirely
non-political. At the house of COM
mons meeting, over which had the
honor to preside, one of the strongest
supporters Of the plan was my oppo-
nent at the polls, and Lord Rosebery
wrote me that he had long believed
there were few more pressing objects
of policy, not only from the Irish point
Of view, but also from the British and
imperial viewpoints. He said he be-
lieved that f10,00O,000 was cheap, con-
sidering the advantages to be gained. -
This tunnel is not new. Fifteen
years ago it was seriously discussed,
and later the Belfast chamber of COM
merce took it up, and asked for gov
eminent assistance in getting prelimi-
nary soundings, and also for a guaran-
tee of interest on the capital invested.
But the enterprise looked bigger than
1t does now, and G10,000,O0O sounded
like more money then than it does
now, and the government was afraid 70
go into it.
About the only danger now, from an
engineering viewpoint, is the POSSIBLE
ity of assures in the rock. The vari-
GUS strata that would be crossed are
known to be individually waterproof,
but assure where two stratas arc
Joined might spoil the whole plan, and
make it necessary to find some other
place Of crossing than that now select
ed, connecting Stranraer on the
Scotch side with Magee island, TWEEN
ty miles northeast of Belfast on the
Irish side. This is not the narrowast
point in the channel, but it is the
most feasible. Even here the tunnel
would have to make detour of two OF
three miles under water, to avoid an
especially deep depression running
