VARIOUS GRADES OF POVERTY.
OF Them All, the "Gentee" Kind
Causes Most SUFFERING.

A great majority of us know what
1t is to he poor, to fight the battle
against such odds as sometimes makes
the contest appear an almost hopeless
one. Poverty, however, is a relative
term. To the man who is low in the
scale poverty means acute physical
sufferings for lack of necessary food
and shelter. To others poverty means
the surrender of certain comforts in
which every man feels he has right
to share. But of all poverty that
classed as "gerteel" doubtless causes
more widespread suffering than any
other kind. This is the poverty of the
families that are trying to keep up
social pace which they can not afford;
the poverty of the woman who can
not get along" on her husbands sal
airy and wear what she considers suit
able gowns for her club meetings;
the poverty of the young man who
tries to shine out of true proportion to
his income; the poverty of the made
over gowns and the shiny coats.-In-

Listen to a conversation about gam

ruin of the gambler; that it risks the
welfare of family and friends; that it
alienates from business, and leads

forth equivalent effort a kind which,
in some way, furthers the general
good; and implies, secondly, that
those from whom the money is re-
ceived, get, directly or indirectly,
equivalent satisfactions. But in gam.
bling the opposite happens. Benefit
received does not imply efforts put
forth; and the happiness of the win

kind of action is therefore essentially

Travelled a considera BILE distance above

these roads were built for the develop
ment of commerce and mining indus
tries. The Swiss mountain railways,
however, are almost exclusively in the
service of tourists only, numbering in
Switzerland alone not far from 1,OOO,-
900 every year. They come to admire
the scenic wonders of the little coun-
try on the roof of Europe. or to seek
shelter against summer heat at the
many mountain resorts.
The majority of these mountain rail-
ways are paying investments. Swltzer-
land, being country of mountains, Is
consequently also country OF water
courses, fed by the inexhaustible store
of snow and ice covering many square
miles of the Alpine chains. Alaskan
lcefields are bedded in between the
peaks right in the heart of Switzerland,
and although a great deal has been
written about the general recession of
glaciers. which in some instances,
amounts TO a hundred and more feet
year for year, such losses are quite
insignificant, compared with the enOr-
nous extent of these ice deposits A
number of them have depths OF sew

tons of solid, hard frozen ice, continu-
ally supplied from fresh snowfalls

the dry summer months, and the many
streams of Switzerland, form |
ing beautiful cascades and falls and
RAPIDS, and furnish the power which
carries tourists in comfortable railway
carriages to the very tops from which
they themselves come. They are led to
turbine pits, drive wheels and genera |
tors and are thus converted into elec.
rric power. The Swiss, having no coal
deposits of their own, have become
experts in this
branch of technical engineering, fur
nishing turbines and electric plants
for the whole world. Thus, for instance,
the gigantic turbines at Niagara Falls.
