AFRICAN RAILWAYS.
Great Developments During the Next
Twenty Years Are Prophesied.

From the Engineering Magazine.
In twenty years time, it is safe to
propnesy railway development in Af-
RIGA will have made enormous strides
and the many important branch lines
to connect with the Cape-Cairo trunk
will have been constructed or be near
completion. In the south the line from
Johannesburg will have Joined that at
Bulawayo; BulawayO, again, will be
connected with a line running right
across country to Walfisch Bay in Ger
man West Africa. In Central Africa
the trunk line will connect with Ger
man and British lines running to the
east coast; and it is only reasonable
to suppose that by that time a line
or lines through Belgian territory will
connect or be in close touch with the
Cape to- Cairo route. And that the
trunk line will be paying concern
there is no reason to doubt.
In the RhOdesian section already
built the returns have advanced by
leaps and bounds. The engineering
difficulties of the Cape-to-Cairo line
are considerable but not insuperable;
so that, with Mr.. Rhodes at the head
to push the thing along" there is
every prospect of the scheme, vast as
it is, being successfully accomplished.

Peruna Cures Summer Catarrh

runa has done so much good for me
that am able to do my own work"
II. A. Scott, Bur- Tenn, writes:
II feel very thankful to my Maker
and your great medicine that / am
cured. I would not be without Peruna
in the house"
Miss Elizabeth L. Williams writes
from Goliad. Tex:
II wish to tell you what great
friend | have found in Peruna. A year
ago l was taken with the dreadful dis
ease, catarrh. At the time | did not
know what 1t was. | tried everything
that l could think OF, or that anyone
would tell me. l consulted two doc
tors, but neither of them did me any
good, and / was constantly growing
worse all the time.
II was in college at the time, and af-
ter coming home I found in our house
a Peruna almanac and looking over II
I found questions that fitted my case.
l wrote DR.. Hartman at once. lie
wrote me that I was suffering from
catarrh, and told me what to do.
"I have taken several bottles of
Peruna and now I am entirely well.
Peruna has not only cured me OF
catarrh, but also of female COM
plants, Of which I suffered great
deal. I shall always keep Peruna,
and I do highly recommend 1t to
every one in the land, especially to
young girls and women.
II feel that I owe a world of grati-
tude to DR.. Hartman and Peruna.'
A constant drain of mucus from the
system is known as systemic catSrrh.
This may occur from any organ of the
body. Systemic catarrh is more COM
mon in Snrinp and summer than in the
winter. A course of Peruna now will
do much more good than in the
inclement weather of winter.

One of the most picturesque sights
in connection with the present strike
is being enacted on the culm dumps in
the Keyser Valley region, where large
numbers of people gather daily to pick
coal from the dumps and carry it away
in bags, boxes. wheelbarrows. pals
and wagons. ON nearly every dump
from early morning until late at night.
Z can be seen men, women and children
engaged in this money saving occu-
patton.
Probably the best representation Of
this practice can be seen at the end Of
the Luzernc street car line, where ar
abandoned dump was literally covered
with people yesterday afternoon. The
Culm pile has been abandoned for many
years and is located midway between
the Luzerne street culvert and the
Hyde Park breaker, on the land now
in litigation by the Fellows estate.
About three hundred persons were
gathered there in groups having
staked out claims here and there, and
were working them for all they were
worth. The small boy or girl picked
the fine pieces of coal and carried it
away in bags and pals, while the men
and women screened their coal and
carted it away in wagons.
In some instances bed springs were
used for separating the coal from the
dirt, and all kinds of screens, sieves
and other devices were in use to Gull
the coal. Here and there could be seen
piles of coal already screened, and as
the teamsters hauled it away, the
piles would be repenished by the pick
ers
The coal thus obtained is what is
commonly known as buckwheat, and
while 1t is not half as clean as the
product of the breaker it is ncverthe-
less good to burn, especially in boil
ers and furnaces. one enterprisng
firm had three men at work all day
hauling the coal to their plant.
Not few of the young men thus
engaged realized sums of money from
the work, and it was learned that sew
eral tons were disposed of at a dollar
a ton. "A rumor was ahoat during the

An Unsuccessful Tackle.

Edward Bunnell, formerly guard
on the Honesdale High school foot ball
team, and now of the South Side Cash
store, attempted to make a tackle, yes
terday morning, which for nerve had
not been equalled, when he attempted
to down" a Consumers Coal company
team on Washington avenue.
Mr. Bunnell was riding down Wash
ington avenue on a bicycle and at
tempted to pass the coal wagon, which
was being driven at fairly rapid rate
when the front wheel slipped on the
car track, precipitatlng him and his
wheel in front of tn approaching
team. He rolled to one side, however
and escaped injury. The wagon struck
the bicycle, badly damaging it.
