a considerable depth below the sum-
nit Of the mountains. This made
tunneling very expensive but re-
numerative. In Minnesota nature
has attended to this. The original
mountain ranges north Of Lake Su-
perior, in which the late gold dis
coveries have been made, have been
abraded and worn off by glacial and
drift forces, to a great depth below
the original summit, thus saving the
labor and expense of tunneling. AS
consequence, these gold lodes of |

1t is a remarkable fact that old
men are dying off at a terrific rate
all through the south, and in the
border states. This has been notice
able during the war, but the mortal
ity is on the increase. This is
accounted for by the loss on account
of the war of lifelong luxuries and
comforts, which has become neces-
sites. They cannot eat or drink as
they have been accustomed, and this
has injured their health. Good,
generous liquor became scarce and
the old men could not do without it.
They took to drinking new apple
brandy, fresh from the distillery,
