ed for graves in exceptional situations, taken of course with the idea of erect ing magnificent monuments therein. From 20 francs upward the charge also includes the transport of the deceased from the house to the cemetery in the official carrier tricycle., ridden by uni- formed cyclist. At moderate prices the company also supplies collins, takes photographs, and dlsinfects the apart ment wherein the animal expired; and knowing that few people care to keep defunct creatures near them, the com pany has also provided place where the corpse can await interment at 0 charge of three francs day.
 Of course no ceremony of any kind is permitted in connection with the burial at the graveside, neither are there al- lowed on the graves any decorations which would be likely to give offence to religious feeling. Consequently it is a cemetry without a single cross, and though the graves are kept green and beautiful with growing flowers, no wreaths, real or artificial will be found thereon.-Edouard Charles, in The Strand Magazine.

and the exertion was nothing to him. Presently along came another man. He was fat and pudgy-looking and his skin had an unhealthy color. His general appearance betakened the overfed club man. He was carefully groomed and was evidently a man of leisure. He stood for perhaps a minute watching the other man at work, and then he said: Would you mind letting me take your place for awhile? I am troubled with Indigestion and have been suffer- ing all day. I think that would do me good"
 The stableman's eyes seem to pop out of his head Sure" he said, sure" The pudgy dyspeptic carefully removed his gloves and grasped the rope. It was hard work and it made him red in the face, but he finally landed the bale where another man in the loft could take it in. Then he tied another, and kept it up for about 10 minutes. When he relinquished the rope to the stable man he slipped a coin into the latter's hand saying: Thank you, very much. That has done me more good than all the medicine in the world" As he dis appeared around the corner the laborer was heard to mutter: Well, I'll be d-d!" That was as near as his vocab- ulary could come to doing justice to the occasion.-From the Philadelphia Record,

A WOMAN'S DISTINCTION.
As a Ranch owner She Leads Her Sex
 in Business.

| As Ranch Owner She Leads Her Sex in Business.
 Mrs. c. N. Whitman of Denver owns | the largest ranch of any woman in the world It is not located in Colorado, l but in Texas, near Tascosa, and is call ed the l.. S. Ranch, after Lucien Scott
 the first owner. The ranch Is thirty
 miles square, and is devoted entirely to cattle raising Hundreds of cowboys are employed upon it, and boarded at houses some distance from the resi- dence, The weather gets very hot in summer and dust storms blow for weeks from the same direction. It is also a difficult place to bring up chil- dren because of the lack of educa tional advantages. Therefore Mrs. Whitman makes her home in Denver. although she is absent a great deal both at the ranch and in Europe.
 The great tract of land was originally transferred to MT. Scott by the State of Texas In return for funds advanced for the State Capitol building. MT. and Mrs. Scott lived there for many years, Mrs. Scott's brother, Charles Whitman, being connected with the place. After a time Mir. Scott died. Mrs. Scott put her brother in charge and he instituted a new policy of management which vastly increased the value of the ranch. Mrs. Scott became intensely interested in theosophy and was a devoted follow CT of Annie Besant. She desired to de- vote her entire time to the new cult and to be freed from all other care and re- connGthiljtu Thprpfppn q gho Ia factory business arrangements with her brother, and he became owner of the ranch At his death, in Denver year or two ago, his wife became owner of one of the largest ranches in the world and the very largest owned by a wo- man.
 Mrs, Whitman understands it's man agement thoroughly. When down there she rides over it from day to day on horseback and keeps herself thoroughly informed as to it's needs. She knows both ends of the business; how to raise cattle and how to sell them profitably. She is splendid office woman, and comprehends every detail in the man. agement of her vast property interests As she was earning her own living when she married MT. Whitman, this may account for her excellent business abil- ities. She is well educated, extremely interested in clubs and all progressive movements among women and very charitable.
 Although dressing elegantly and nov ing in the best social circles, Mrs. Whit | man does not care particularly for so- | ciety. In Denver she has done a great deal for the '. w. c. A. and has been l

LONDON'S UNDERGROUND ELEC-
 TRIC ROADS.

The Central London has imparted a
 great impulse to the electric transit
 movement. The twenty-five minutes
 run in a cool well lighted, perfectly ventilated gallery from Shepherd s Bush to the Bank has convinced the di- rectors of the Metropolitan and Dis trict railways that smoke and grime will no longer be tolerated by London CTS, and that electric power must be substituted for steam. The Central London already crosses the inner and outer circles of the old underground system at Noting Hill Gate and Shep- herds Bush; and at the Bank station there are connections with Waterloo sta ton, Clapham Common and Fins bury Pavement Another important connection will be made at oxford Cir GUS with the Baker street and Waterloo line which is now under construction and may be opened before the close of 1902 This new enterprise involves two additional tunnels under the Thames near Westminster Bridge, and the con- struction of a sta tion at Charing Cross with approaches by subways from va rious streets opening into Trafalgar Square. It will be at once a lateral line across the central belt of traffic and fresh outlet for the delivery of passen- gers by the London and South Eastern Railway at Charing Cross and Oxford Circus.
 Another lateral line from Charing Cross to Huston and Hampstead has passed under the control of an Ameri- can synd cate and will probably be con structed with all the resources of Chi cago energy. An electric line is also under construction from Finsbury Park to Finbury Pavement for the relief of suburban traffic by the Great Northern Railway. An electric line from Bromp- ton to Piccadilly, via Kensington High and Hyde Park Corner, is also promised in the near futre.--Isaac N. Ford, in The Century

NOT A RACK NUMBER.

"People remote from the Mississippi river have an erroneous opinion that the Father of Waters is a back number, navigably speaking" remarked Captain Patrick Henry, of Arkansas, recently. Captain Henry is president of one of
 the levee boards controlling the P dis
 tricts into which the river is divided
 from Cairo to the Gulf, and has for the
 past 12 years represented a great asso-
 citation composed of those boards,
 boards of trade of the various towns
 along the stream and steamboat inter-
 ests. But in truth" he continued,
 ''the Mississippi is of greater utility
 to- day, and there is more doing on it's
 turbulent waters. than in it's so-called palmy days There was never time when it showed the tgaffic in heavy ma terial, lumber, coal afid cotton as now. One of the big towboats that constantly
 ply 1t carries 52,0005ltons of coal at a time. One week last, spring 10 of these passed Memphis, with coal supply az gregating 350000 tons. Of late years the methods of transporting lumber have greatly changed. Instead of float
 ing logs down the river they are now showed up the stream to mills at Mem phis, Cairo and St. LGuis and the lum- Der business of Memphis is bigger in value than it's cotton trade. The peo- pie of the levee district tax themselves heavily for protection against floods, the total aggregate of all the districts being between $1,500,000 and S2,000,000 a year. The State authorities and the general government for the past ten years have contributed in nearly equal degree to levee protection. The part nership is just one, as the planters aim is to keep the water off their lands and the governments to keep 1t in the river, so that navigation may be main tained No other system that has been devised or suggested equals the levee plan for restraining the waters of the great stream. and none other will prob ably ever be attempted.'

A PARISIAN CEMETERY FOR AMI
 MAILS

MAILS
 London has it's burial grounds for the pet dogs and cats of the wealthy close to Hyde partt; in Brussels there is a cemetery for this purpose in the Lacken Park; but it is in Paris, where noth- ing is done by halves that is worth do- ing at all, that will be found the finest of all animal graveyards, and this notwithstanding that it is the newest.
 La Necropole Zoologique, as the spot is named, is situated some short dis tance outside the capital itself, at Asnieres. in the center of the River Seine.
 Funerals here vary in price just as with the undertaken who caters for our custom. An animal can be buried as cheaply as five francs, or as much as 800 to LOGO francs can be paid, and this is merely for interment and includes no monument. A simple grave without any permission to erect any monument, costs the lowest sum just mentioned, but for 15 francs is granted a three years lease of a piece of ground In these cases the animals must be taken to the cemetery by their owners. For 25 francs, however, a five years lease is obtained while ten years costs 50 francs, twenty years 75 francs, thirty years 100 francs, fifty years 150 francs, over 50 years 200 francs, and the high prices of 800 and LOGO francs are charg-

FOR VETERANS OF BOTH ARMIES.

FOR VETERANS OF BOTH ARMIES. The home for disabled volunteer sol diers at Johnson City, Tenn, which is now being built will, when completed, be one of the most notable groups of buildings in that State. Aside from it's architectural value, the home will be remarkable because Of the broad ana liberal plan on which it will be conduct ed. There are homes and soldiers re- treats in all parts of the United States, but they are all exclusively either for Union or for Confederate veterans, This one will be, according to the plans which have been adopted. "a shelter for 2.500 men who volunteered in the Union or the Confederate service in the civil war and the war with Spain
 The contract for erecting the build ings and laying out the grounds was awarded. after a competition in which six architects took part, to J. Il. Friedlander, whose scheme comprises 50 buildings. Congress appropriated $l,- 900 900 toward the project, and the home is to be completed in three years. The site comprises a tract of land mile and three-uuarter long and three-qua ters of a mile wide, situated in the heart of the Tennessee Mountains. The place is so delightfully."- situated that 1t is believed it will eventually become popular health resort,
 Among the larger buildings of the group will be memorial hall, mess hall and chapel, and canteen similar to those which were maintained at army posts many years ago will be one of the features. The grounds will be laid out in parks, groves and drlveways, and the landscape features will add to the picturesque appearance of the home.
 The plan includes a large parade ground and group of 12 barrack build ings. These buildings will be in a semi eclipse and within easy walking distance of the mess hall. Each barrack building will have it's own park, and everything about the place will be so arranged that the inmates may spend their days in perfect comfort and sur roundings that are naturally beautiful.

THE oBL1G1NG FILIPINO.

Mrs Mabel Loonis Todd, wife of the Amherst astronomer, was telling the Appalachian Mountain club the other evening about her experiences in the Philippine Islands, last summer. one in- cident of which contained a warning against too great lingual facility. The
 party with which Mrs. Todd was so-
 journing included a relative of one of
 the civil commission, young woman
 who had lived several years in Samoa
 The party had reached one of the southern islands of the Philippine ar
 chipelago and were meeting" a, group of the natives that had come to greet him. These natives appeared to be somewhat different from the run of Filipinos and were particularly distin- guished by the very handsome bead work on their garments. Men and wo- men wore it in elaborate and exquisite ly designed figures. All the women of the touring party coveted specimens, but all attempts to buy some were fruitIess The natives would not sell on any consideration.
 The young woman who had lived so long in Samoa overheard their conver- sation and remarked that she thought she understood them their dialect was so nearly like the Samoan language. Some of the older women, the chaperons of the young fry, urged her to go ahead and see what she could do with Samoan, which she accordingly did The chief whom she addressed threw up his hands in surprise What" said he, docs the white maiden talk our language?' He was evidently overjoyed and promptly asked her the Samoan equivalent for what he could do for herr"
 She told him in her sweetest Samoan how much she admired the beadwork on their garments and how much she would like to buy piece of it to take back to her own country and show her countrymen how skillful and artistic these particular Filipnos were. "No," said the chief, with a lordly wave of the hand. "You shall not buy. You shall take as a gift" Whereupon he quickly removed his trousers and handed them over with the unborn, unblushing grace of child of nature. The young woman hastily resumed her English tongue and the other women of the party confined their further Opportunities to the wo- men of the tribe,-From the Boston Herald.

MOuNT BLANC.

The height of Mont Blanc is about 15000 feet, and 1t has been proposed to build 6 railway with an elevating shaft, to near the summit, like that already carried out in part on the Jungfrau. The work is to be done in three sec tions; an open air railway g. lower and an upper tunnel. The first is to start near the Sallanches- Chamounix line and to go along the left side of the Arve Valley to Tacouney HOO meters above the sea, where the lower tunnel is to be- gin. The engineers propose that 1t should run on the left shore of the Tacouney glacier toward the peak Gros Buchar on the Aiguille du Gouter. There are no insuperable obstacles to this work, and at the various places the line can safely be laid in the open. The lower tunnel will be about three and one-half miles in length, and end at an altitude of 3S43 meters, where hotel will be erected. The upper tunnel is to be in two parts, the first under the Dome du Gouter, one and one-half miles long, ending at height of 4,3bS meters. The second part will continue to the Great Plateau, under the Rochers des Bosses and end at the Petits Rochers Rouges, ALSO meters above sea. The summit of the Petits Mulets is 110 meters higher and cannot be reached by rail on account of the ice, but will be gained by an elevator The true summit is still 220 meters higher and must be reached on foot, or else by rope railway. The cost is estimated at 21 ,0Oo GOO francs or, say, s4,250,000. The line will be an electric rack railway, and the power is to come from the wa ters of the Arve. It is expected that travellers can be landed at the Aiguille du Gouter in July, 1902. Electrical World and Engineer.
