Steepest Railway in the World.

What claims to be the steepest rail.
way line in the world is that recently
opened near Bozen. in the Tyrol. The
Mendel railway, with a gradient of "a
in 100, and the Vesuvius, with 63,
have hitherto held the record. But the
new line in its steepest part rises 70
in 100 and in other parts sc. 1t leads
up the mountainside to Virgil Terrace,
on the river Eisach. The system en-
ployed is that of the electrical wire
rope, and the ascent is made at the
rate of five feet second, or five min;
utes for the whole distance. The car
OF four compartments carries thirty
two passengers.

theft Of feathers from ostriches.
The feathers show that they have
been pulled out of the ostriches and
not plucked in the regular way. This
is always damaging proceeding and
sometimes results fatally. At any rate
a feather will never grow in TIE socket
from which feather has been pulled.
Blevin and Rinehart were sent to the
county Jail.

PecE:es Oriainaily Medicine,

Peonies were originally esteemed
less for beauty of bloom than for value
as medicine. In recognition of it's
curative virtues, the peony was named
after Paeon, the physician of the gods.
An old writer says: About an infants
neck hang peonie. 1t cures Alcydes
cruel maladie." Nor did the use of
the plant stop there, for peony water
was esteemed and drunk in bygone
times, though whether as medicine or
merely as refreshing temperance
beverage is more than modern writer's
can say.

Omnibus Restaurants.

The Paris boat strike, which is
financially good for the other modes of
locomotion, recalls an attempt made
when the omnibus was in its infancy
of running restaurant omnibuses. The
idea was that of Viscount Bothered,
the son of very rich diplomat, He
organized q service of twelve omni-
buses, wherein the passenger could
obtain a cold collation. and wine. The
experiment was not success, and
was only given up after the promoter
had lost something like E25,OOO.

the main building. He soon learned
his mistake. 1t was a close call,
though. Don't you think that if the
city pays team to haul the appara-
tus to a fire, it ought to reward a re-
tired fireman for doing such good
work?"
"Certainly", replied The Listener.

HEARD ABOUT TOWN

Those incubators of John Whitson's
are alright and deliver the goods, but
there are four hens in town that have
the Whitson hatchery beaten mile.
Did you ever hear of tour hens that
could lay five eggs in day? Well,
there's a quartet of biddies right here
in Sauk Centre that can turn the
trick all right, all right. Their proud
and happy owner invested some money
in poultry this spring, and the other
day he found five eggs in the nest
which the four hens use when they
feel inclined to increase the visible
supply of eggs. For particulars apply
to Laurel Kells.
While in Minneapolis the other day
l dropped into Crombie's for a little
lunch af Jer the theater with friend.
No sooner had we got comfortably
seated than an Over-officious waiter
appeared and hovered around as
though he had known us for years.
He pulled the plug from his conversa-
tional apparatus and let flow line of
talk that nearly swamped us, winding
up with the observation that: ''The
inclemency of the weather is severe.
We then recovered and helped him
put the plug in again and were not
bothered after that. What the fellow
said was true enough, but we went
there to enjoy ourselves in manner
other than to listen to job lot of
talk. Some people never know their
place. Did yon ever notice that?
1 heard a good one on a we'll known
citizen-I dare not mention his name
but you all know him. He owns
house and lot in the vicinity of the
residence of the Hon. Jos. Capser.
The other morning this citizen nailed
up "For Sale" sign on a tree near
the house. A friend happened along
and noticed that the sign was wrong
side up. "What part of the house
are you trying to sell first" queried
the friend, ''the top or the bottom?'.
The owner finally discovered his error,
and well something like the histori-
cal remark that passed between the
governors of North and South Carroll
ma transpired. But tell it not in
Gath.
The people who howled the loudest
about the recent miserable weather
were kicking the hardest over
the heat of Wednesday. Did you ever
notice how hard it is to suit some
people-yourself included, at times?
"Talk about your firemen putting
out fires", remarked Lucas Kells the
other day, 81 rather think retired
fireman gets there occasionally.
"How's that, queried The List
ner".
"It's this way, remarked the well
known banker. 81 was out driving
with my daughter Blanche last Fri
day evening. AS we passed the Keller
factory 1 saw blaze in the lower cor
ner of window of the blacksmith
shop. We got out and l ran to John
Quinlan's for water, while my
daughter went to alarm Keller. In
few minutes l was back with pail
of water, Quinlan's boy following
close at my heels with another. The

Italians:
"The damages from the tremendous
earthquake of yesterday in the south

thousands, countrymen of ours, have

lost all their property.

New Smelling Company Busy.

Denver-It is reported that repre-

corporation known as the Interna-

pany, have been in Colorado several
days spying out the land here and
gathering data which may determine
after they make their report, whether
plants will be built in this state to
compete against the Guggenheim es-
Establishments. Several men connected
with the American Smelling and Re-
filming Company have been approached
and several well known mining men
have been interviewed by strangers
who claim to be from New York City.
Franklin r. Carpenter, mining and
metallurgical engineer, was one of the
Denver men called upon, it is said, but
he declined to enter into negotiations
with the callers. The new corporation
is backed by the Amalgamated Copper
Company, of which John d. Ryan of

''At half past five in the morning the
sea suddenly became terribly agi

boat and shake it. Other craft nearby
were similarly treated, and the ships
looked like bits of cork bobbing about
