The names of some towns in the
United States probably cause their
inhabitants much vexation of spirit
when they are away from home. Near
the Green river in Kentucky there is a
town by the name of Pig, for instance,
though it is not recorded that the
characteristics of the people living
there are different from those of the
inhabitants of Lamb, ILL.,, or Chick
ems, Tenn.
Should a lady from Big Foot, Tex,
or Antiquity, o., advertise for hus-
band it is safe to say that she would
not get as many answers as she would if
she lived at Beauty, w. Va. And the
man who hailed from jug, Ala,
might find it harder to be elected to a
prohibition Office than his brother
from Dry Town, Cal. Should wo-
man from Alamode, Mo-, or Fashion,
Ca, meet a woman from Jayville. o.,
the two might get into a controversy
that would lead to the belief that they
both came from Loonville, N. Y. The
residents of Fossil, Ore, would doubt
less feel very much at home in Slow
town, Ida. and the person from Fact,
Kan, would be in cOngenial atmos-
phere at Boston. Vegetalians should
speed with all haste to Grass. S. d.
1t might be thought that Ice, Ga,
would be a more popular summer re
sort than He'll Hole, Col. A jury
made up of men half of whom were
from Japan, Mo-, and the other half
from Russia, n. Y, would be pretty

A Condo (Switzerland) correspondent
of the Chicago News thus describes the
scene when the great Simplon tunnel
was cut through to Italy:
Outside the tunnel mouth at Isel!e.
near the telephone IN the workshop, an
excited crowd had gathered. The Ia
Dor of six and One-half years was
reaching an end. The Simpl0n tunnel
was about to be pierced through. There
was babel of questions, Il mixture of
German, French, Italian and English.
How many feet moreY' Whats the
news now?" "Will there be an acct
dentT'
Every one knew the danger to be eX-
Dected from the suddenly released
mass of water in the north section
when the narrow wall dividing it from
the south tunnel should be broken open.
Dams had been erected to break its
force, and a wooden canal had been
built in the parallel tunnel to receive
it.
The strain of nights vigil was be
faces engineers, officials and correspond
ents waited. 1t was now 1870 o'clock.
A train was ready to take leading en-
gineers and press men into the tunnel.
At some one had telephoned that q
material train had been derailed and
ten cars were lying IN a heap. Men
walked restleSsly to and fro, impa-
tent at the delay.
Suddenly the telephone bell rang
furiously. Some one jumped for the
receiver. A voice, scarcely audible on
account of the tumult, was shouting in
triumph from far in the interior, a
mile or more under the summit of the
mountain.
'"rraforo! Traforo!" C'ThroughvO
Like flash the news spread. Work
men waved their hats and yelled like
demons. A flag was hoisted over one
of the buildings. The locomotive
shrieked discordantly The big steam
siren at the boiler house hooted. The
noise was deafening
There was a rush for the telegraph
Office, and then the telephone was be-
sieged with questioners asking for de-
tails. Sulzer, one of the leaders of the
undertaking, and Beissner, chief en-
g1neer, were fallen upon by mob and
congratulated until their arms ached.
Beissner seemed disappointed, for the
last blast had been fired before he and
the Others could reach the scene of ac-
ton. In the meantime the locomotive
had been decorated, there was a hur-
r1ed scramble for places, a few last
words Of instructions to the innkeeper
and the train pulled into the Simplon.
Inside the tunnel Engineer Karpf had
taken charge of the last shift at 5 in
the morning. The boring was directed
obliquely upward. A miner named

EASTER IN MEXICO.
Strange Mixture of Superstition
and Ignorance.


Mexico still retains many of the cen
fury old customs of Spain A native
Mexican Easter is a curious exhibition
of ignorance and superstition. The
people delight in professions and in
weird ceremonies. At various places
they enact Passion plays which are
very real to the Indians. The charac-
tiers in the play carry out their parts
with great realism.
Until +, emily it was common Oc-
currence for q man to volunteer to be
crucified and actually to allow his
bigoted countrymen to perform the
awful act. The volunteer was a Grim
inal, who If he came out of the ordeal
alive, received a full and free pardon.
1t not tnfrequently happened that the
man was killed, for he was to ride to
the place Of the crucifxion with his
face toward the tail of mule, while
the hoy'i ling mob was privileged to
heat him with sticks and stones.
Native Indian women still do pen
ance Such a one wears a crown of
thorns and kneels among her people in
expiation of sin. Undoubtedly, how
ever, the most curious custom which
survives in Mexico is that of the hang
ing Of Judas. For days before Easter
merchants display in the streets small
and large wooden images of the Isca
riot, and these are bought in great
quantities by the natives, who hang
Judas with much ceremony at Easter

If Miss Mary Bartelme, q public guard
ian in Chicago, has her way the chilly
spare room with shades drawn to pro
tect the tapestries from fading will
disappear, says the Chicago Tribune
The sun will be allowed entrance, the
lace spread removed from the mahog
any four poster, and little street gam
in will be invited to rest his thatch on
the carefully bleached pillowcases.
Miss Bartelme recently told 900 mem
bers of the Chicago Council of Jewish
Women and nearly 100 others, repre-
senting clubs in all sections of the city,
that every woman should open the door
picked up in the factory, workroom or
shop.
The subject discussed by the speak
ers was The Outlook For Children In
America"
Persons with MEANS" she said,
could do no more good than to give
their spare room to some boy who has
to earn his living. Find some worthy
working youngster and give him a bed
in your house and q breakfast in the
morning. Save him from the ten cent
lodging house and its communicating in
fiuences. The working boys and girls
who have to 60 out into the world to
earn a livelihood feel the lack of a
home more than anything else. The
cheap lodging house or the saloon are
the only places open to them. In these
places they meet demoralizing infu-
enceS.
every woman should become per
sOnally interested in some one child il
an institution. Suppose you go out to
Glenwood and meet little boy named
John, we'll say. The next time you
go out there speak to John by name.
Let him see that you have remembered
him. ASK him to write to you, and you
write to him. When he comes out of
the institution get your husband to in
terest himself in John. Get position
for him. Invite him to a meal at your
house. Take personal interest in
him. A little individual attention to
one boy will do more good than all the
committees that ever went to Glen
wood and reported how the boys
marched into dinner ever have done.

GAVE COWS FOR DIAMONDS.

J. B. Robinson has been recounting to an interviewer his early experiences in 1870 while in search of South African diamonds. Having given eight oxen and a wagon loaded with sugar and tobacco to a Griqua in exchange for a 23-karat gem, the news spread like wildfire through the country side that white man was giving away wagons and oxen for bits of stone.
 q set all the natives who came to work to seek for diamonds on one side of the river," said MT. Robinson, land fetched up my own fifty men to hunt for diamonds among the bushes and scrub on my side of the vaal may say that had brought the land on both sides of the river, so that I was work ing on my own property. Next morn ing at sunrise when l was having my coffee I was startled by a loud hulla- balooing, and looking out I saw the whole gang of my men rushing toward me in a state of wild excitement.
 "One of them had found diamond | of good size; they all had come to sec what | would do with it. What will you give for it?" says he. I will give you ten cows I replied, and sent the 1 man into the herd to take his pick, and he marked ten of the best COWS as his own. They had never dreamed of mak- 1 ing such a bargain. Ten cows for bit of stone! Off they went again and | found diamonds every day; they all be. came rich and I accumulated a good store of precious stones.
 After we had accumulated a large quantity we decided we had better senC them to London. We made a belt full
 of small pockets, in each of which we placed a diamond. When the belt was filled my partner girded it about his body and started to Cape Town. He
 never took off the belt until he reached London. And it was in this way that the first consignment of African
 diamonds reached London.-Detroi

Above all, Mrs. Welch was a home lover, finding her greatest. happiness in her home, where she could entertain her friends and find happi- ness with them.
