hat and in stentorian tones cried out,
Hurrah for God!"
The Alps have a beauty of their own
which in many respects surpasses that of
the Himalayas or the Andes, although the
latter ranges are more stupendous in their
grandeur. 1t is only the tops of the Alps
that are bleak and bare. The valleys are
covered with verdure, and there are nests
everywhere in the hills good for pastures
and gardens. These mountains are Of in
calculable value to Europe. Bleak and bare
as the tops look, it is this very cold, evil
denced by the snow upon them, which
squeezes the rain from the winds, and
through the Rhine, the Rhone, the Danube
and the Po gives Germany, Austria France
and Italy the water that makes their lands
tillable. 1t is the Alps which furnish the
water for the great river trade routes of
Europe and which indirectly have made
this continent the most civilized and best
part Of the world.
The blot on the beauty of the Alps is
the Swiss tendency to turn every rock and
view and every cubic foot of ozcne over
to the traveller at so much per minute.
The sublimity in Gods mountains is ped
died out for a consideration. There is not
a beautiful view unmarried. Every place
has it's hotel. On the very mountain tops
you find men selling alpenstocks and pic
ture postal cards On the Rigi l was offered
a genuine st, Bernard puppy. and was
shown kennels in which the Swiss raise
them to make money, out Of the legend that
they sometimes rescue lost tourists. AS for
that, however, learn that the st. Bernard
dogs have long since lost their Job. The
various hospices kept by the monks are
now connected with all parts Of the noun
tains by telephones, and the lost party is
easily found by the trackers going from
post to post.
On top of the Rigi is big hotel, the
Rigi-kulm, where you can get dinner for
81 and full board for about SO a day. and
there are other hotels scattered from the
bottom all the way to the top. If you &c

in every country, and you can buy Ger
man, English, French and Italian cards
almost everywhere. The most of the cards
have little more than a place for the
stamp and address upon them, the other
side being given up to picture, with only
room for one or two lines in writing. The
card saves the trouble of writing letters
to your friends and at the same time en-
ables you to show that you remember
them
l have said that the business is a big one.
1t brings the government of Switzerland
more than 100000 a year in extra stamps.
The country uses about 100000 postal
cards for internal communications and 10
100000 for the foreign mails. This, at
cents apiece, brings in an annual revenue
OF 100000, and the cards sell fer at least
that much more. The people here use more
postal cards in proportion to their number
than any other nation Of Europe.
Switzerland has as good a postal service
as you will find anywhere 1t has about
$1,000 postoffCes and about 1000 letter
boxes, and it delivers mail to the very
tops of the Alps. The postal service does
many things that our officials would not
think Of doing. 1t acts as banker and eX-
press company for the people. 1t will col
lect your bills for you and bring the money
to the house. If you live in Switzerland
and man owes you, say 81, all you have
to do is to send him bill for the amount
in a sealed letter with a word or two to
the postoffice on the outside of the en-
veope, and in addition 2-cent stamp.
This stamp pays the pOstoffice for its
trouble in collecting and delivering the
money to you. The charge is l per cent Of
the amount collected. If the bill is SO,
you pay 10 cents and if $50, 80 cents, and
for this the money will be collected in any
part of Switzerland. If payment is refused,
however, the government will not enforce
the collection.
After the same manner all sorts of goods
are sent out c. O. d. by the stores and
farmers. You can order goods of any store
in Switzerland and the postman will bring
you the package and send back the money.
Farmers forward their butter and chick
ems through the mails, and | know of two
American consuls who thus order live tur
keys, chickens and ducks. Consul Liebcr-
knecht of Zurich got his last years Thanks
giving turkey from Austria through the
mails and sent back the money in the same
way, and Consul Frankenthal gets all his
fowls from the lower Danube. Thy ar
shipped through the postoffice and the post
men bring the live fowls to his door and
returns the money to the Hungarian farm
ers who raise them. If this could be done
by our postofice what opening it would
give the American farmer in the direct sale
of his products to the consumers.

throughout the day a piper plays to the
tourists and comes around and pokes his
tin collection plate under your nose for
pennies. At every step you meet a pretty
Swiss girl in a white cap, who inveigles
you into buying pressed flowers and edel-
weis, and the picture postal woman has her
stand at every beautiful point, with half
tone reproductions of the same, which she
offers you for two cents apiece.
Indeed, the postal card business is fast
becoming an important one all over Eu-
rope. There are thousands of stores on
the continent which sell nothing else, and
in Switzerland you cannot travel five miles
without seeing a postal card stand. Postal
cards are sold at the railroad stations, at
the drinking places, at every hotel and
restaurant and even in the postoffices
themselves.
| mean by this there are sJanus in the
postoffices separate and apart from the
stamp windows, which sell cards bearing
pictures upon which you must put an ad-
ditional stamp before they can go. Such
cards are found in all the department
stores at reduced prices, and boys and men
peddle them about the streets. In Geneva
l saw a woman pushing a cart which was
loaded with such cards and while eating
my dinner at restaurants outside the hotel
/ frequently have made a man drop down

This is the gist of Consul Erankenthal's

size OF Massachusetts, but its hotels and
boarding houses are crowded into com

less IL has 1900 hotels and 1t is estimated
that there is $120 900 900 in the business.
