Worlds Longest Tunnel Opened.

Rome. April 3.-The Simplon tunnel,
the longest in the world. was inaugu-
rated yesterday morning when from
the Swiss and Italian sides the first
trains passed through, meeting at the
center, where there was the iron door
which originally prevented the over
flow Of a torrent of hot water and
which was yesterday opened for the
first time.
There was brief time spent in com
municating through the door by means
of hammering, and finally the door
was knocked down amidst frantic ap-
plause and cries of Long Live Switz-
erland" and Long Live Italy," Bands
played the Italian royal march and
the Swiss anthem, and the two parties
embraced and kissed each other.
Engineer Brandau, director of the
work on the Italian side, shook hands
with Engineer Rosemund, the director
of the work on the Swiss side, and the
Italian bishop Noveara embraced the
Swiss bishop Sien. The latter then
preached short sermon, in the course
Of which he said:
"The church blesses progress"
In the name of God he then blessed
the tunnel.

CHILDREN AFFECTED.
BY Mothers Food and Drink.

BY M0xnef8 r 00o dnJ 1Ftnks
Many babies have been launched into
life with constitutions weakened by
disease taken in with their mothers
milk. Mothers cannot be too care. ii
as to the food they use while nursing
their babes. The experience of a
Kansas City mother is a case in
point:
II was a greet coffee drirker from
a child. and though. could not eat
meal without it. But found at last it
was doing me harm. For years l had
been troubled with dizziness, spots be-
fore my eyes and pain in my heart,
to which was added two years ago,
chronic sour stomach. The baby was
born months ago, and almost from
the beginning. it. too, suffered from
sour stomach. She was taking it
from me!
"In my distress I consulted friend
OF more experience than mine, and
she told me to quit coffee, that coffee
did not make good milk, have since
ascertained that it Tsally dries up the
milk.
$50, quit coffee, and tried tea and
at last cocoa. But they did not agree
with me. Then turned to Postum
Coffee with the happiest results. 1t
proved to be the very thing needed
1t not only agreed perfectly with baby
and myself, but it increased the flow
OF my milk. My husband then quit
coffee and used Postum. quickly got
well of the dyspepsia with which he
had been troubled I no longer suffer
from the dizziness, blind spells, pain
in my heart or sour stomach. Post
um has cured them.
Now we all drink Postum from my
husband to my seven months old
baby. It has proved to be the best
hot drink we have ever used. We
would not give up Postum for the best
coffee We ever drank. Name given
by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Dancers of the Piano.

A Berlin physician says that out of
1000 girls who played the piano be-
fore the age of twelve years, he found
600 cases of nervous diseases; whereas
out of the same number who did not
pay the instrument he found 100 cases.
The author of these experiments states
that the piano should never be used by
a child before the age of sixteen years,
and only two hours a day at the max
fmum.

BY THICK BLOOD.
How the Effect Of Poisoning Of Mrs

How ehe Effect Of Poisoning Of Mrs.

San Francisco, March THE Dxam-
liner publishes a Honolulu dispatch to
the effect that the poisoning was indi-
Gated by the thick fluid OF the blood
found in the intestines by the surgeons
who performed the autopsy on Mrs.
Stanford's body. The autopsy Is also
said to have showed the stomach con-
tanned only water, which proves. it Is
claimed, that death was not due to acute
indigestion.
The Call says local authorities have
not positive assurance in the informa =
ton by cable from Honolulu that Mrs.
Stanford's death was directly due TO
strychnine poisoning. The stomach.
kidneys and heart upon examination, it
is said, were found in a very healthy
condition and much above the average
III a woman of Mrs. Stanford's age.
There was, however, a swelling Of the
heart. The report says that it only
could have produced death resulting
from strychnine poisoning. No trace Of
strychnine was found by the chemists
in the stomac. yet all agree there is no
longer any doubt Of the cause Of the
death Of Mrs. Stanford.

was to file proceedings against saloon
keepers where gambling was in same
building; that the law provided that
premises OF saloon men should be

ed, and that the word premises" means
the entire building, upstairs and down,
no matter whether saloon men own the
