THROUGH THE NORTHERN ALPS.
Mountain Railroad Comparatively
Soon to Be in Operation.

AS If engineers were deliberately
making game of nature conquered, no
sooner has one plan for preaching
single mighty barrier been laid and
work commenced than another attack
is opened and pushed with seeming
blitheness that can only suggest that
the conGueror no longer considers his
undertaking as mighty problem but
certainty and of comparative ease.
Mountain climbing by electric car
has become pastime in Switzer-
land. Tourists have formed the habit
of mounting the great ramparts Of
the Alps of an afternoon to watch the
sunset and get back to dinner. Here
and there, in casual fashion, holes
have been punched under the great
domes of rock, for the convenience Of
a railroad which does not care to 90
out of its way. And, finally, plan
to make the mountain lakes give their
waters to the lifting Of boats over the
whole range has been pronounced
feasible
The story of the Loetschberg rail
road, therefore, which is now about
to pierce at last the northern Alps, ap,
pears to have lost part Of its wonder
inspiring power, because 1t has be-
come commonplace to speak of
crossing these huge mountains. Yet
no man gifted with imagination can
fail to recognize In the plans of this
great work, wonderfully dramatic
element, in the final complete triumph
over the grandest Of natures efforts
by the persistent blows Of mans puny
but untiring hands. 1t is as II the
great stubborn power which has so
long successfully resisted the on.
slaught were being beaten and broken
forever at its last stand, while the
pigmy victor laughs in pride of his
prowess and of a boast made good

Dear Madam now write you
what your wonderful hair remedy has
done for me. My hair had been fall
ing out for over a year. 1t came out
in spots larger than dollar. Black
heads and pimples came in the bald
spots and my scalp looked like 1t
had been scalded. After using your
treatment three months the scalp
began looking better and the black
heads and pimples disappeared. New
hair came in, and after using your
remedy six months my hair was all in
again | also had the worst case OF
dandruff one ever seen. Your sham
boo and scalp treatment has cured me
after hundreds of other remedies had
failed. | cannot praise your remedy

good results if they follow full in
structions.

Mosque In Railroad Carriaoe.

The Hedjaz railway, among other
things, will contain a carriage fitted
up as mosque, where pilgrims will
be able to perform their devotions
during the journey to the sacred cit
les. Externally the praying carriage
is only distinguishable from the other
carriages by a minaret six feet high.
The interior is luxuriously fitted. The
floor is covered with the richest OF
Persian carpets, while around the
sides are verses from the Koran ap-
propriate to the pilgrimage and in let.
tiers of gold. A chart indicates the
direction Of Mecca at one end, and
at the other are placed four vessels for
holding water for the ritual ablutions
Most OF the carriages are of foreign
make, but the wagon mosquee" was
built in Constantinople.

to pray that God would bless him and
enable him to do the work of the dio-

praise humiliates a man, and this Is
one OF those occasions. and, therefore /
think that this Is the proper time to
extend thanks to those who have en-

He spoke of ST. Patrick's seminary In

the work of which he was most proud.
and about whose future he was most
anxious, and concluded his address with

after each meal and at bedtime and so

These tablets. being made in accord

Clad in full pontificals, Archbishop
Riordan brought up the rear. On his
head he wore the episcopal miter, and
IN his hand he welded the crozier. a.
scepter emblematic of his office of pas

white and gold. Beneath the exquisite
lace alb the royal purple Of his cas-

was held by two small acolytes, clothed
IN the episcopal carmine On his feet
the bishop wore sandals OF silver cloth
which were bejeweled with rare stones
AS the figure of the archbishop ap-
peered the congregation arose. He

arrangements similar to the above shall
apply to the Armenian provinces of
Turkey
The sixth article deals with Monte
negro. The Montenegrin rights of SOW
ereignty are limited by article 29 of the
treaty of Berlin. 1t is proposed that
articles 26 to 33, inclusive of the Berlin
treaty shall be condensed to a single
article abrogating all the restrictions
imposed by the treaty under the orig
inal article 29, which 1t is proposed to
sweep away.
The seventh point in the program is
the statement that 1t is desirable to
seek and give compensation to Servia
and Montenegro by a ratification of the
Bosnian and Hezegovinian frontier
adjoining Novipazar. This is taken to
imply that strip will be taken from
the territory annexed by Austria Hun
gary.
The eighth proposal concerns the river
Danube and declares it desirable to
revise the regulations governing
Danube traffic so as to give larger
rights to the states bordering on the
river.
The eight articles of the program
are followed by a declaration that as
the new Ottoman constitution fore
shadows a reorganization of the judi
cial system and a remodeling of Turk
ish legislation in conformity with the
principles of other European states.
