To Rid Premises of Rats and Mice.

Here is farmers mode OF Kidding his
premises Of rats and mice: IF you will
sprinkle sulphur on your barn floor and
through your corn as you gather il
there will not be a rat or mouse bother.
l have done this for several years and
have never been bothered with rats or
mice. i have some old corn in my crib
at present and not a rat or mouse can
be found. In stacking hay or oats.
sprinkle on the ground and a little
through each load: and my word for il,
rats or mice can't stay there. A pound
of sulphur will be sufficient to preserve a
large barn of corn. and it is good for
stock and will not hurt the corn for
bread. Tennessee Tomahawk.

st. Petersburg's Odor.

Some sensitive essayist should take the
smell of place as subject Paris, for ex-
ample, is lightly pervaded with the odor
of burning charcoal. and coming from
Paris to London one is newly assaiIed by
the appeal of SCOT. Cologne has a repu-
tation, long undeserved. for smells other
than that of its famous water" and it
has been said that in years of old a blind
man could find his way about Cologne
by following his nose. Moscow has an
odd perfume Of its .uwu. IL suggests
cranberries of peculiar puugency. And
it never leaves the nose. Garlic. of
course. is the basic smell that greets the
stranger who lands at Calais. But the
most curious Of the smells of place is
that Of St. Petersburg. The present
writer had often wandered what il was,
having detected it even between the
sheets Of his bed at the most cxorlitant
hotel. On his third visit he was driving
in n tlroschky from the station with
fresh young English girl. who had never
been away from Kent before Now. do

A Mild and Unexpected Retort.

Senator Tillman was talking 10 some
reporters about the efficacy Of mildness
in debate.
''Onc can't be too mild" he said, "and
one gets on especially well If. along with
ones mildness, there goes some rare and
unexpected quality. To be mild and at
the same time unexpected i, usually, TO

Here is an instance of what I mean:
AT the end of a theatrical perfor-
nance one man turned To another and
cried in a harsh. grating voice:
Look here. You have sat on my silk
hat. 1t is ruined
The other looked at the Six hat. 1t
was indeed a wreck. He said:
" 1 am sorry. This is too bad But,
he added, it might have been worse

PERU HAS HIGH RAILWAY.
Crosses Mountain Range at Altitude
Never Before Attained.

One Of the most interesting trips af-
forded by the present Transportation ia
cilities of Peru is that over the OrOyo
railroad, which now runs from Callao
10 the gold fields of Cerro de Pasco. 1t
is considered one of the wonders in the
Peruvian world, and the original con-
tract was taken by Mr.. Meiggs at S27.-
100000 in bonds at 70. 1t is certainly
the greatest feat of railroad engineering
in either hemisphere, and as a specimen
of American enterprise and workman
ship it suffers nothing by comparison.
1t was begun in 1870 and finished in
1876, and additional work has since been
done on it. Commencing in Callao, it
ascends the narrow valley of the Rimsc.
rising nearly 5000 feet in the first forty
six miles.
Thence it goes through the intricate
gorges of the Sierras till it tunnels the
Andes at an altitude Of 15,645 feet, the.
highest point in the world where a piston
rod is moved by steam. The wonder is
doubled on remembering that the eleva-
ton is reached in seventy-eight miles.
One of the most remarkable things in
connection with this road is that be-
tween the coast and summit there is not
an inch of down grade. The difficulties
encountered in it's construction were ex-
treme - landslides, falling powders.
soroche Cor the difficulty Of breathing in
high altitudesl and verrugas, a disease
known only along the line of this road,
breaking out all over the body and bleed
ing. About 5000 workmen were engaged
at one time, and between 1000 and 5000
persons died or were killed in the con-
struction OF the road. - Engineering
