was the beginning of the end of Span
ish rule in Mexico and then the foun-

are interesting cities all along and
enough could be written about them
to make volume, but cannot forego
making mention of one more-Morelia
the Magnificent. 1t is the capital
of the state of Michoacan, and called
by the Spanish founders Valladolid,
but when the Mexicans were victorious
in the revolution of 1910, they re-
named it in honor of the patriot More

but the thick walls of these houses
make them cool during the hot days
and warm in cool weather. 1t is
doubtful whether anywhere else in the
world in so short distance of travel
one can find a display of more strik-
ing diversity of sight seeing.
In historic associations and relics of

there are reminders of Juarez and
Macmillan, of General Scott and
Santa Ana, of Spanish viceroys and
hidalgoes, of Cortez and Montezuma,

very great extent. Mexico is more

SYMPTOM TUNNEL.
Work Must Be Finished by May IS,
1904.

Work Must Be Finished by May IS,
1904.
A correspondent who has recently
visited the Simplon tunnel sends the
following interesting particulars with
regard to the works now in progress
there. The number of workmen en-
ployed is 5000 on the Swiss and $500
on the Italian side. Nearly all of
them are Italians. Two tunnels are
being bored instead of one, in order
to avoid the possibility of collisions,
the distance between the tunnels be-
ing seventeen metres Ga metre is about
thirty-eight inches.) The work must
be finished according to the contract,
on May 10, 1904. For every day re-
quired beyond that date the contract
ors would have to pay e200. The
Gothard tunnel, which is fifteen kilo-
metres long, took twelve years to bore.
The Simplon, which Will be twenty
kilometres long (the longest in Eu-
rope), is to be completed in five years
and half. Nearly 5000 metres have
been completed on the Italian and
nearly 1900 on the Swiss side. The
engineers guarantee that the junction
of the two borings will be mathemati-
cally exact The work is carried on by
one at the top and the other at the
bottom of the tunnel. A squadron of
workmen clear the upper aperture,
standing in the diaphragm, which
separates them from the lower apera-
ture, in which another squadron of
workmen is similarly employed.
When these two aperatures have been
p completed for thirty or forty yards
the intervening diaphragm is blown
up with dynamite, and the tunnel at
tains its full dimensions. 1t is then
lined with masonry made of square
blocks of stone cut from the rock ex-
cavated. About 200 pounds of dyna-
mite is used every day. The fragments
of rock which are not needed for ma
sonry are carried away by train and
used to prepare the embankment on
which the trains will mount up to the
mouth of the tunnel.

Cheap Home-Built Ice Houses.

A good ice house may be made by
using poles in connection with boards,
or by themselves, as one pleases. If
poles alone are used they are placed
about an inch apart and form the side
walls. 1t is generally best to use boards
to go across better to hold the saw
dust. In building an ice house the
main essentials are ventilation, drain
age and abundant use of sawdust.
Where stones are plentiful the ques-
ton of drainage is easily settled by
putting bottom in the house a foot
thick of broken stones. In filling the
house have the pieces of ice as large
as can be conveniently handled, and
pack them closely together, filling in
any spaces with sawdust and leaving a
space two or three inches wide all
around the edges to be filled with saw
dust that must be packed down firmly.
When ice is removed during the sum-
mer any cracks left should be filed in
with sawdust The roof of the house
should be spreading and project foot
or more at the gable ends. Leave out a
board or even two at the gable ends
for ventilation.

Chronic Coughs and
Colds Are Catarrhal
Diseases.
Catarrh Is the Continual Scourge
of ChriStendom.

Catarrh hovers ominously over every
city, and nestles treacherous1y in
every hamlet. It flies with vampire
wings from country to country and
casts a black shadow of despair over
all lands. Its stealthy approach and
it's lingering stay makes it a dread to
the physician and pest to the patient.
1t changes the merry laugh of child
hood to the wheezy breathing of
Group, and the song of the blushing
maiden to the hollow cough of con-
sumption. In it's whitening grasp the
rounded form of the fond wife and
mother becomes gaunt and spectral,
and the healthy flush of manhood
turns to the saflow, haggard visage of
the invalid
Cough takes the place of converse
ton, speech gives way to splitting, the
repulsive odors of chronic catarrh
poison the kiss of the fondest lovers,
and thickened membranes bedim
sight, impair hearing and destroy
taste,

A regimental physician in the
French army has investigated the eff
feet upon soldiers of regular marching
in disciplined bodies. The uniformity
of the soldiers step. causes the indef-
mite repetition of a shock of the brain
and bones. and consequently the mode
of motion is far more de1eterious than
an irregular walk He attributes the
peculiar aches and pains of the men to
the fact that the same parts of the
body receive the series of shocks.
What does the doctor suggest by way
of relief? Experiments have shown that
his plan is eficacious. The device is
simple: A rubber heel for all military
boots. The brain-jar and other I'M
favorable sensations are so diminished
as to give the infantrymen a new lease
of activity. The relative efficiency of
the army may thus be increased by
what might be considered an unimpor-
tant change. The scale might be
turned in a long and close contest in
favor of the rubber-heeled men. and
the map of Europe altered.

half century only the remains of the
breast works thrown up by the Ameri-
cans indicate the battlefield and no
stone marks the eternal bivouac there
of the heroic dead, either American or
Mexican. AS 1 looked over the bat
tleffeld and remembered the sacrifices
made there by my countrymen 1 felt
that their deeds had not been remem-
bered properly by our government.
There came to me a consolation, how
ever, in the fact that d bill was pre-
sented to the last congress making an
appropriation to cover the expense of
putting up a fitting monument on this
field. Among the Americans who fell
there was a son of Henry Clay. His
remains were carried to Kentucky and
are buried at Lexington.
A very interesting place after leav-
ing Saltillo is Catorce. A small
Mexican boy told me in good English
that the name meant fourteen. The
city takes its name from once being
the stronghold and property of band
of fourteen of the most desperate, dar-
ing and dangerous robbers that ever
laid tribute on roads in Mexico. They
discovered and for many years worked
the rich deposits of silver that abounds
in this entire section; deposits the
value of which, if current reports be
true, for hundreds of years outriwaled
the mythical riches related of Ophir.
The town proper is eight miles east
from the station and there are found
the customs of Mexico in their purity
unaffected by the influence of the
stranger Difficult of access, the town
can only be reached by horseback or
on foot The ride UP the mountains
into the town once accomplished is
always to be remembered, partly from
the element of personal peril, but more
by the beauty of the landscape en-
countered at every turn. 1t is too
grand for me to attempt a description
here but the shifting coloring of the
red and gold and green of the noun
tains and the simmer of the waters
of a river a thousand feet below has
left an impress upon my mind that
will long remain. The population
ranges from 5000 to 10000 as the
mines are paying well or poorly. The
streets run up hill and down. many of
them at an angle of forty-five degrees
and only the sure footed burrcvcan
pass over them in safety. Soon after
leaving Catorce the temperate zone
is entered The Mexican National
railroad has erected a monument with
suitable inscription marking the point
where the train crosses the tropic of
Cancer 1 was glad when the train
reached San Luis Potosi as we got din
ner there and the travel in the noun
tains about Catorce had awakened
within me an appetite that was ready
for brisk business. San Luis Patosi
has $4,000 Inhabitants and is the capi-
tai of the state of the same name. 1t
is located in the center of long, wide,
rich agricultural, grazing and stock
raising valley, almost equidistant be-
tween the high range of mountains
that bound it on the east and west
This city is one of the most important
in the republic and is destined to be
second only to the City of Mexico in

mate is delightful. The city has

Kipling's advice to England mot to
hustle the East" applies to home re-
formers. Some months ago a New
England society for the prevention Of
cruelty to animals sent to Porto Rico
a large number of circulars. A special
paragraph referred to the cruelty of
using a frosty bit in horses mouths,
and advised warming it carefully. In
asmuch as most of the people had
never seen ice, the advice was some
what misplaced.
