Qualities that are not even confined to
hotels. But you never feel so much OF
an Englishman as when Switzerland
gives you rolls and butter and honey
and nothing more with your coffee or
when France makes this into one eA-
ouisite crurn5ling "croissant," with an
inch or two from q yard long loaf, or
when Denmark adds cream instead OF
milk to the coffee and 6 dangerous
piece Of pastry to the black bread and
round white roll. Yet our English
breakfast became an institution only
in the eighteenth century. Before that
only royalty breakfasted off meat,
bread and cheese and ale. The COM

morning draft Of buttered ale.-Lon-

Why Men Cooks Seldom Smoke.

'sNen cooks make mistake to
smoke. Men cooks that smoke have :.
hard time to get work.
"Why so?" inquired 4 woman cook.
Because you don't like your cook to
bend over the cooking with cigar IN
his mouth. 1t doesn't look neat when
you go Gown into the: kitchen to see
him finger the wet stub of cigarette
and then plunge his hands into the
puff paste. Sometimes, in fact, If you
have man cook that smokes you Will
find ashes on the steak. know cor
poration lawyer who once found cl-
gar end in the soup. Do you think he'd
ever employ after that smoking
cook?"-Cincinnat Enquirer.

MAKING 4 TUNNEL.
The Way Railroad Engineers Sore
Through a Mountain.


Through Mountain.
Sometimes the construction engineer
brings his new line face to face with
q mountain too steep to be easily
mounted, and then he prepares to
pierce it. Tunnels are net pleasant to
ride through. They are, moreover.
fearjully expensive to construct, and
they necessitatc 4 double inspection.
But-and the "but" in this case IS q
very large one-thcy reduce grades
and distances in wholesale fashion,
and so in mountainous country the
engineer must be prepared to drive
tunnels and the folk who come after
him to operate them. The tunnel job
is apt to be q separate part Of the
work. It calls FOR its own expert tai
ent.
If the tunnel is more than half CT
three-Quartcrs Of mile long it Will
probably be dug from q shaft Or shafts
as we'll as from its portals. In this
way the work will not only be greatly
hastcnel, but the shafts Will continue
in use after it is completed as vents
for the discharge Of engine smoke and
gases from the tube.
The ordinary course Of sach work is
by the use of cutting shields proceed
ing simultaneously from the portals
and from the footings of the shafts.
These shields are to be lilencd to
steel rings of q circumference only
slightly greater than that Of the fin
ishe6 tunnel. Men working on differ
ent leTcls Of this shield With pick and
with drill and dynamite constantly
clear path for it. whereupon it is
pressed forward Tracks follow the
cutting shield, and more locomotives,
steam or electric. are used in renov-
ing the material The use of electric
Ity keeps the tunnel quite clear of
gases and makes the safest light for
the workers
In rare cases the rock through which
the tunnel is bored is strong enough
to support itself. But IL most cases
the engineers prefer to line the bore.
with brick, as q rule. and this lining
is set in place right in the path Of the
cutting shield. After long weeks and
perhaps months Of work the time
comes when the different bores meet
and the tunnel is q single underground
tube from portal to portal.
