The greatest men are masters OF the
minutest details. 1t is those who ac-
complished little in life who never have
time for this or that or five minutes
they can spare TO do kind or thought
full act. Abraham Lincoln was one of
the great ones, and just listen to what
he had time to think about amidst the
troublous times in 81.
During the campaign Of 1860, while
Abraham Lincoln was in Springfield,
H., youngster named George Patten
was introduced to him and shook him
by the hand. Proud of his distinction
George lost no chance of parading the
affair before his schoolmates, and for
time was looked upon as a most
important parsonage. But gradually
his prestige faded. and several of
Georges older companions openly
poohpoohed the story. This stigma
well-nigh broke his Doyish heart, but
he was resourceful and resolved to OBJ
tain clear proof of his meeting with
the great man. So he wrote letter
to Washington, keeping silent the
while, and in course of month re-
ply came which read:
Executive Mansion, March 10, 1861.
To Whom it may Concern: | did see
and talk with George Evans Patten,
last May, at Springfield, III. Respect
fully, A. LINCOLN"

CUTTING sIMPLoN TUNNEL,
Work Going on-Great RorIns Should
be Open in 1904.

Very great progress has been made
with the tunnel under the Simplon,
which should be open for traffic in
1904. The total cost when both tun-
nels are completed will be about $500
a lineal yard OF single-line tunnel. A
correspondent says it will be 1914
miles long. The Mont Gents tunnel
has a length of nearly eight miles,
and all trains have to attain an alti-
tude of 4,24S feet above the sea level.
The Arlberg is 6h miles in length,
with a height of 4,300 feet The st.
Gothard is 8 1-3 miles, with a maxi
mum altitude of 3,7SS feet. The Sim
plon will have tho great advantage
over the others that its traffic has
not to be taken to a greater altitude
than 2,314 feet above the sea level, or
1,474 feet less than in the case o.
the st. Gothard, so that no costly ap-
proaches nor heliCal tunnels are re-
quired to gain access TO the tunnel
at it's north end nor will the haul
age Of trains be so heavy as in the
case of the other tunnels. The work
will at first consist of one single line
tunnel, lined with masonry through
out, and one parallel passage 10
feet wide by s feet high, preparatory
to a second tunnel placed sc feet
apart, axis from axis. When the traf-
fic necessitates a second tunnel it can
be completed for about one-third of
the cost of the first tunnel. The ex-
perience gained during the construc-
tion Of the previous tunnels is be-
ing turned to very good account, and
is resulting in great saving of life.
In much greatly abbreviating the
period of construction. The men
change shifts every eight hours, and
are brought out in trainloads. They
are not allowed to enter the cold Al
pine air when emerging from the tun-
mel in their wet clothes. but are land
ed in q covered building or station.
in which there are cubicles for chang
ing their clothes, fitted with hot and
cold douche baths. They take off their
mining clothes, which are at once
hung up in heated rooms to dry, ready
for the next days work. Adjacent
is restaurant at which they can get
meals of excellent quality at very
low price. Everything Is kept in an
excellent state of order and cleanli-
ness. and the organization through
out is quite without precedent. The
italian workmen object to resting on
Sunday, as they are eager to remit
their wages home to their families.

Among the old Romans there was
saying that the greatest reverence is
due to boys" meaning, as Wordsworth
has it, that as "the child is father of
the man." it is necessary to treat it
with becoming respect. 1t was for
some such reason as this that Johann
Trebonius. the great German teacher,
always appeared bareheaded before his
scholars. "Who can tell what famous
men may be in this class?" he used to
remark. There may be among them
learned men and wise lawmakers, and
even men born to rule empires" One

Deafness Cannot BE Curad

by local applications rs they cannot reach the
diseased portion Of the ear. There 10 only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infnmod condition of the mucous lining Of
the Eustaohian Tube. When this tube is In
famed you have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it IL entirely closed
Deafness is the result ard unless the inflam-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an
infamed condition OF the mucous surface.

An instance of the hospitality of liv-
ing under a snowdrift is recorded dur
ing the recent storms in England.
On December large flock of sheep
belonging to cattle dealer of Cars
dale were out on the open moor. The
shepherds with their dogs collected
the sheep and drove them to a more
sheltered locality, dreading threaten
ing storm which soon followed. One
sheep, however, escaped and made its
way back to the pasture where it was
overtaken by the heavy fall of snow
and imbedded in it. There it re-
manned until the snow melted. when
the shepherds were astonished to find
1t alive and well. 1t had stayed under
the snow for twenty-five days.

Telephone Gusts ventrIIoquy.

Contrivances have been invented
and patented for the production Of
ventriloquil sounds on the stage by
means of a telephone. The receiver
is placed in the mouth of the dummy
figure and the voice heard is not that
of the performer Immediately be-
hind the footlights, but that of per-
son behind the scenes. Ventriloquists
have varied their performances of lato
by the introduction of stuffed pigs,
horses, dogs and other animals, which
appear to join in the Conversation"
In these instances the telephone
method greatly assists in producing
good effects.

Peculiar to Itself.

This applies to St. Jacobs Oil used for
fifty years. 1t contains ingredients that
are unknown to any one but the manu-
facturers and their trusted employees. Its
pain killing properties are marvellous, as
testified to by the thousands of once crippled
human beings now made well and free from
pain by its use. St. Jacobs Oil has record
of cures greater than ali other medicines.
Its sales are larger than those of any other
proprietary medicine and ten times greater
than all other embrocacions, oils and lini-
ments combined, simply because it has been
proved to be the best.

can be made healthy and strong by the use
of Vogeler's Curative Compound. Every
