Denver. Colo.-The full Significance
OF the plans OF the Denver & Rio
Grande in the near future to build a
cutoff between that system and the
Moffat road and to build cutoff south

become public, but enough is known
for 1t to be realized that these changes
will make a vast difference In the rail-

The work planned Immediately

lance between Denver and Leadville.
The connection with the Moffat
road will reduce the distance to Glen

STRIKE ON CANADIAN PACIFIC.
Over 5000 Men Lay Down Tools In
Biggest Strike In Canada.

Montreal.-The Canadian Pacific
railway has on its hands the biggest
strike In the history of Canada. A
general strike was issued Wednesday
night by Bell Hardy. secretary Of the
Associated Mechanics of the Canadian
Pacific road, and from the Atlantic to
the Pacific some 5000 men laid down
their tools. The strike has been
brought on because the cofciliation
board which was appointed under the
Lemieux act of the Canadian parlia-
ment was not what the men wanted.
Among the chief points in dispute was
that of interlapping of hours. The
men wanted to work In three eight
hour shifts the company wished to
interlap an hour at each end, in order
to avoid paying overtime.
How far reaching the strike will be

By honoring the holy law of work
more than any other people, America keeps
its strength and moral health.
The dissatisfaction which at times
amuses foreigners is not, in an American,
charlatanism or Boosting; it is the convinced
optimism of man who believes in success
through trying. Pasteur used to say that
''to make the maximum of effort in this
world is to attain the object of life" That,
without the formula-the American cares
naught for formulas-is the ideal of the
citizen of the United States.

play in their business. Let any town inn
prove its roads out five or six miles and it
will draw trade that hitherto had gone to

Curjno Snake Bites.

Considera ble<difference Of opinion ex-
lists with regard to trustworthy rem
edy for snake bites. DIR. Lauder Brun-
ton advocates the use OF permanganate
Of potash applied Immediately. Mr..
Greengrass OF North Arcot district,
Madras, however as the result of vari-
Gus experiments states that acetic acid,
even In the diluted form Of vinegar, is
an important and effectual remedy,
and it can be applied efectually as
long as an hour or an hour and half
after the bite. Cases OF recovery from
snake bites have followed the applica-
ton of vinegar after such intervals.
An incision must be made over the
bite, as much Of the poison as possible
squeezed out. and then vinegar is to
be injected. If the bite is OH limb, q
ligature must be placed above it. Mr..
Greengrass records twenty nine cases
of recovery from cobra bites by such a
use OF vinegar The one failure which
occurred was due to the fact that no
incision had been made over the bite.
A similar treatment is recommended
for the stings Of scOrpions.--London
