BUYING FOOD FOR TOURISTS,
Enormous Quantities of Vegetable
Imported Into Switzer rIand.

Enormous Quantities of Vegetables
Imported Into Switzerland.
From the New York Sun.
1t is said that the average amount eX-
pended by tourists every year while enjoy
ing the mountains, waterfalls and glaciers
Of Switzerland is about $4,000, 900. The
year 1898 was remarkable season for
travelling in Switzerland and the tourists
left behind nearly double the amount of
money that travellers usually leave in the
country. By far the greater part of the
tourists come in excursion parties from
western and central Europe. They remain
only short time, but their numbers are
so large that the aggregate expenditure is
enormous.
The landlords and shopkeepers would be-
come very rich indeed If 1t were not that
they are compelled to send a great deal of
the money they receive to foreign lands to
buy the supplies which they sell to tourists.
Because mountains cover more than half of
the country Switzerland cannot begin
to raise the enormous quantities of food
consumed by tourists. In fact Switzerland
derives less support from its agricultural
resources than any other country in Eu-
rope except Norway. Only about a sixth
of the country can be titled and though the
animal industries are more important than
agriculture, as many $4,000 beef cattle
mostly from Austria and Italy, are brought
into the country every year to make up for
the local deficiency in beef
So Switzerland depends upon its neigh
bors and the United States for a great deal
of the food 1t consumes. Large quantities
of wheat are imported from this country
through Marseilles and other ports. The
latest statistics show that in the tourist
season of 1901 the amount of vegetables
brought into the country was about 2o.uOO
tons, of which nearly two-thirds came
from Germany. France and Italy contrib
uted most of the remainder.
The Swiss government Is not satisfied
with the comparatively small return made
by the fields and gardens of the country
They are endeavoring now to stimulate
greater attention to agriculture and gar
dening. They say 1t is unfortunate for
the republic to spend so much Of the money
received from tourists In buying food with
which to feed them. They especially ask
that the area devoted to vegetables be
largely increased in order to reduce the
Aeat amount Of imports which of late
years has been growing very rapidly.

Cure for Warts.

From Good words.
Warts are not a serious malady, so one
can afford to stand by and see the vulgar
treatment thereof. In Wexford. lying a.
it does. well within the civilized pale, they
are cured by pointing a knot of straw ut
each disfigured digit. saying a prayer, and
eventually burying the straw In it's native
manure heap. AS 81 rots so disappear the
warts. IL this fails, a white snail is rub
bed over the hands and then stuck on a
thorn. Both snail and wart are believed to
wither together. a simple cure is to comel
across water accidentally in a hollow stone.
and to wash the afflicted hands therein.
The virtue of accident is so great that III
prevents any further development of the|
hard growth. A more intricate remedy is|
devised in a county even closer to the me-
tropolis than the one washed by the udeI
(Wexford). In Cavan. where i once acted
as local demon the appearance OF warts
in family Is simultaneous with the dis
appearance of bacon from any neighbor-
Ing cabin. In my office justice OF theI
peace such a case came before me.
why did you steal the bacon, Larryyl
/ inquired.
The culprit stretched out his hands, COW
cred with curious protuberances.
"Musha! Look at them. he said.
must cure them somehow. and nothing an :
swers but bacon fat rubbed in."
why not use your own meat?' brouGf7<X

AMERICAN RAILROADS.

Four States With More Mileage Than
the Whole Country in 1865.
From the New York Sun.
At the close of the civil war there We're
$4,000 miles of railroad in the United
States, of which 4,2OO were in Ohio, 5000
in Illinois, $500 in Pennsylvania. 2,700 in
New York, 2,1OO in Indiana and /, 100 in
Georgia. There was at that time less than
fifty miles of railroad each in Michigan
and Oregon, less than 100 miles each in
California and Arkansas, less than fifty
miles in Kansas and less than 500 in Texas.
The present length of American railroads
is 10000 miles and four states have among
them more railroad mileage than the whole
country had at the close of the civil war.
These four states are Illinois. the railroad
mileage of which is 10,SO0; Pennsylvania,
with 10200, Texas with 10000 and Ohio
with $500 miles. Kansas has now q rail-
road mileage of $500, 600 miles more than
the state of New York Oregon, from a
very small beginning has 1600, but falls
behind other Pacific coast states in that
respect, California having 800 and Wash
ington 5000.
Only two states of the Union have less
than 500 miles of railroad, Delaware with
35l and Rhode Island with 225. Mime
sofa has 6,500 and Wisconsin the same.
Vermont and Nevada. the former small
state with large population, the latter a
large state with a small population. have
less than LOCO miles of railroad each, and
Oklahoma, with $50 miles, is far in ad-
vance of the District Of Columbia, with
only thirty
Railroad building in the United States
has been somewhat suspended in very re-
cent years, except as a means of extend
ing existing lines or of building spurs or
feeders to them. In the celerity and cheap
ening of railroad building the United
States stands at the head Of all countries.

Gufldhall.
From the London Chronicle.


1t Is extraordinary that the citizens of
London should permit the one historical
building which the corporation possesses to
be crowded up by buildings destitute Of a
particle Of architectural merit or interest.
A full view Of London's Guildhall is impos-
sible, SO long as it is obscured by the ugly
and incongruous edihce at it's west end.
The cost of opening out the hall would be
nothing to the corporation. and in view of
the coming coronation and the festive pur-
poses to which the hall will be put in con-
nection with it, It Is unreasonable to hope
that this year will be marked by the much
needed Improvement. The obstruction to
be removed is, 1t may be observed, very
small as compared with that which had to
be got rid Of before Westminster Hall could
be brought fully to-view. Three weeks
work would do what Is needed. The Guild
hall dates from 1411, but, being greatly
damaged in the great fire, was restored by
Wren.

would not eat them.
There are many freakish circum-
stances connected with the country's
media of exchange. One of these
novel situations in a western city
arose when the local gas company put
in meters Of drop quarter-in-the-
slot pattern. Flats, apartment build
ings, small business concerns and the
poorer residences were equipped with
these meters, making it necessary to
drop a quarter inside TO start light.
When the quarters worth of gas was
used another quarter had to be drop
ped in to replenish the flow.
The result was that the whole city
was stripped Of 25-cent pieces for or
binary circulation. Persons having
slot meters saved the coins in order to
have them ready; the meters held
them for a MONTH Of course, and then

IA to a comparison between gold,
silver, and paper as media of ex-
change gold is the least adapted for
the purpose. The wear upon it is an
enormous loss both upon the govern
ment and the western public. A $50
gold piece may be abraded to the point
of discounting its weight. and yet the
ordinary person will not be able to de-
tect it. AS for She silver dollar, it is
good at face value as long as il has
mark enough to distinguish its coin

willfully. Even the ashes of a green

EXPENSIVE POSITIONS.

Those Held by the Members of the
Presidents Cabinet.
\ member of the Cabinet to enter
tain largely should have such house
as usually rents at from $4,000 to $l2,-
coo a year Senator Depew pays $1,000
a month for his house. On the other
side. Secretary Wilson, who is a COM
paratively poor man, lives in a house
that rents for not more than $75 a
month. Postmaster General Smith
spent his entire salary of $4,000 year,
and was compelled to write magazine
articles and to add to his income in
other ways to maintain his establish
ment. He finally wearied of the strug-
gle and took apartments at hotel.
Each Cabinet minister is expected
once a year to entertain the Presi-
dent and his associates at dinner Be
yond this he can cut out dinner-giving.
The secretary of state, in addition,
must give a breakfast once a year to
the diplomatic corps. Secretary Day
resigned because he could not afford
to follow the social pace.
Carriages and horses are furnished
by the government to Cabinet mem
bers. All other expenses they must
pay themselves. A membe" of the Cab
met maintaining his own house would
have to expend at least $4,000 year
or nearly double mis- salary to keep up
even ordinary appearances.
Attorney General Knox, upon TAX
ing up his residence in Washington
began by purchasing a house costing
$4,000 and bringing with him team

ed all over the city how cattlemen
from the west had flooded hotels, res
taurants, stores, ard even saloons
with silver dollars. Such a landslide
of silver had not been experienced in
years, and banks especially remarked
the influx.
The circumstance was illustrative of
something which may be termed fash

WOOL FROM ICELAND.

Finest and Strongest Possible and Is
Carded and Spun by Women.
Even in far-away Iceland feminine
enterprise and industry are working
wonders. A woman of that country.
who has the welfare of her fellow
women very much at heart, has been
working to better their condition, and
to that end has secured assistance and
built small institution at Upermavik.
where girls may receive the rudiments
Of an education. This is something
which was denied their mothers. whose
education was limited to domestic sci
ence. For the supporting of this school
its founder set about to introduce Ice
land woolens' into England and later
into America.
She secured an interview with Queen
Victoria and interested the sovereign
of Great Britain in her humble but
noble effort for the women of an al
most unknown land. The cloth was
taken up at once by sportsmen. as it
was found to be the best known for
shooting wear Briers do not tear il:
it is soft and cool in summer and
warm in winter.
The gathering of the wool is peculiar
as it would be fatal to the sheep TO
shear them in that icy land The Ice
land cloth is made from the WOOL
which is found in the sheds wherein
the poor beasts are sheltered from the
Arctic weather This is of the finest
possible fiber. 1t is cleaned. oarded
and spun by the Iceland women and
then woven by hand on their primitive
looms.
