The Tunnel Was Forgotten.

At Brussels the visitor is often struck
by the extreme thinness of the earth
covering the Braine lie Comte tunnel
and wonders why the common sense of
the engineers who made the line did
not direct them to continue the cutting
and thus avoid a subterranean pas
sage.
The mystery is thus explained: When
railways were in their veriest infancy,
the Belgian government sent party Of
engineers over to England to acquire
experience in construction of the new
iron highways, and on their return
they were instructed to lay out the
first railway in that enterprising little
kingdom. The work was accordingly
put in hand. but on it's completion one
of the engineers exclaimed:
Good gracious, we have forgotten
the tunnelv'
The CONSERVATION was general, espe-
cially when it was remembered that
there was not single line in England
but could boast of tunnel. What was
to be done? Nothing but to construct
the long corridor at Braine lie Comte,
and when it was finished the earth was
Put on top. The tunnel was the glory
of the line.

Massage For the ScaIp.

The hair falls out when the strength
of it's roots is insufficient to sustain it's
weight any longer, and new hair will
take it's place unless the root is dis
eased. For this reason each person has
certain definite length Of hair. When
the hair begins to split or fall out, mas
sage of the scalp is excellent.
Place the tips Of the fingers firmly
upon the scalp, and then vibrate' or
move the scalp while holding the pres
sure steadily. This will stimulate the
blood vessels underneath and bring the
blood vessels underneath and bring
about better nourishment Of the hair.
A brush of unevenly tufted bristles is
also excellent to use upon the scalp, not
the hair.

A Reef, a Sand Bank and a River.

Lord Coleridge, the famous lord chief
Justice, once recounted to Sir Mount
Stuart e. Grant-Duff an incident of his
earlier life. He had to cross examine
an eminent professional witness about
proposed harbor. In the course of do
ing so he said, But, Mr.. -, isn't
there a reef of rocks that would be a
great inconvenience to your
ooh, yes," replied the witness. Gun
doubtedly there is, but we propose to
get rid of it in such and such a man
ner'
Very good" rejoined Coleridge, ''but
when you have got rid OF it, would
there not be very awkward sand bank
to contend with?''
"Certainly," said the witness, ''but
against it we should provide thus and
thus"
"We11," answered Coleridge, "but
when you have removed both these OBJ
stacles would you not still have great
deal of trouble from the current of the
river when in flood"
Clearly" was the answer, "but we
should encounter that difficulty sue
cessfully by another expedient,' which
the witness proceeded to explain.
''You have seen the place, have you
nct?" said Coleridge
"Oh, yes, replied the other.
"Well. I never did," was the re-
joinder. II have invented alike the
reef, the sand bank and the river"

General Davis Reports on Mindanao
Many Small Engagements
Last Week in LuZon.

Manila, Dec. 23.-General Chaffee,
speaking with the correspondent here
of the Associated Press on the situa-
ton in the islands, said he considered
the situation in the Philippines to be
hopeful, and that by the end of Feb
ruary all the turbulent provinces will
have been Dacified. General Chaffee
excerpts the island of Samar, how
ever, which will probably require some
months longer There the situation
demands policy of rigid starvation
and the giving of food only to those
who surrender or who stay in the
towns. The closing of the ports jp La
guna and Batangas provinces, in Lu-
zOn, has had a most salutary effect, as
the measure has resulted in touching
the pockets of the Manila EilipinOs
who have been aiding the insurgents.
Wants Military Rule Restored.
General George w. Davis, command
ing at ZambOanga, island of MindanaO,
has requested that the province of Mis-
amis Mindanao, again be placed under
military control. General Davis has
proof that the recently elected presi-
dente and vice councillors, and the
leading men of Cagayan de Misamis,
are guilty of treason in furnishing
ammunition to the insurgents within
the past month. The fiscal of the prov
ince of Misamis is also implicated.
The evidence shows that all these men
were members of the secret Katipunan
society.
Expects To Ee Disappointed.
General James F. Wade, command
ing United States forces on Cebu ISL
and, cOncurs in and indOrses the re-
quest Of General Davis, and reviewing
the situation in Mindanao says he is
satisfied that the ends of justice peace
and good government will soonest be
obtained. by the restoration of military
control to the province Of Misamis and
the overcoming of all resistance to that
authority. 1t is expected that the
United States Philippine commission
will refuse his request
Exploits of Capt. Parke and Lieut.. Tilford.
Captain John s. Parke, Jr., with
thirty men Of the Twenty-irst infan-
try, encountered sixty insurgents last
week at Alaminos, in Laguna prov
ince. Four of the enemy were killed,
several guns were captured and their
barracks was destroyed. Lieutenant
James d. TilfOrd, while scouting with
Troop d. of the First cavalry, routed
an insurgent force in Batangas prov
ince. He located rebel stronghold on
top of a hill near the town of Batan-
gas, surrounded the enemy under cover
of night, and attacked them at day
light. Their surprise was complete.
Nineteen insurgents were killed while
attempting to escape.
Enemy Seems To Be Plentiful.
A detachment of scouts of the Sec
Ond infantry also had a small engage
ment with the insurgents, in which
they killed nine men and captured
four. Lieutenant John d. Hartman
of the First cavalry, during an expedi-
tion which lasted several days, en-
cOuntered the enemy six separate times
without losing one of his men. He de-
strOyed several barracks.

Irregu1arity and Indigestion.

irregularity respecting the time Of
meals. The human system seems to
form habits and to be in a degree de-
pendent upon the performance of it's
function iii accordance with the habits
formed. In respect to digestion this is
especially observable If a meal is
taken at a regular hour, the stomach
becomes accustomed to receiving food
at that hour and is prepared for it.
If meals are taken irregular!y, the
stomach is taken by surprise, so to
speak, and is never in that state Of
readiness In which it should be for the
prompt and perfect performance of it's
work.

The decision was reached by the presi-
dent soon after he received notice that
Governor Crane of Massachusetts

GUILTY ENOUGH TO FINE
What the Jury Thinks as to Alexander

What the jury Thinks as TO Alexander
Sullivan, the Chicago Lawyer.
Chicago, Dec. 23.-The jury in the
case of Lawyer Alexander Sullivan,
on trial before Judge Smith for con-
spiracy to abet fugitive from justice,
came into court yesterday with a ver-
dict of guilty. AS punishment the
jury imposed a fine of $4,000. This
carries with it no prison sentence.
States Attorney Barnes demanded
that Sullivan be taken to Jail, but
the court declined to enforce this de-
mand and Sullivan was permitted to
leave rhe court room with his attor-
neys.
Sulivan's counsel entered a motion
for a new trial Should this motion
be overruled judgment for $4,000 will
be entered against tn eattOrney. The
charges against Sullivan were an OF
growth of jury bribing scandals in
vOlving the Chicago courts.
