A Poor Place For the Man VINO
Doesn't Want to Work.
Switzerland is not place for tramps,
because the man ont of employment
and who makes no effort to find work
Is not tolerated for moment in that
country. The district authorities will
secure him job at hard labor and
little pay, and such an offer can be re-
fused only under the penalty Of going
to a penal workhOuse. These institu-
lions are under military discipline, the
work severe, the wages a penny or
threepence per day, and release Is
granted only upon the advice Of those
in charge No difficulty Is experienced
I'm determining between beggars and
unemployed, because all legitimate Ia
borers have papers given them by the
district in which they live containing
information concerning the position
they have held.
In every part of Switzerland are es.
tablished "relief in kind stations for
the exclusive use of respectable unem'
ployed. Only those are admitted who
have had regular work during the
previous three months and have been
ont Of employment for at least five
days. These men must be on the look
out for work and accept any situation
that is offered, because the chronic
loafer is soon detected by the police
and his papers are marked 80 that he
can never again seek refuge in a "sta'
tion." -Exchange.

A Pepper Duel,

A certain literary and diplomatic
friend Of ours once took part in pep
per duel at a foreign restaurant. BE
was provoked to the contention by the
quantity OF stimulating condiment
that a stranger across the table In,
dulged in. The stranger sprinkled an
unconscionable quantity OF red pepper
upon his food and proceeded to devour
It, to the wonder and admiration OF
onlookers. Thereupon with studied
nonchalance the American swallowed
an immense piece of chilli pepper. Then
the stranger added more red pepper
then the American another larger
slice, covered with cayenne, and so on,
till it seemed rs II both would eI'
plode, while the other diners looked
on aghast, the American finally win
ming out with a prodigious dose defy
ing all notwithstanding.

THEIR LAZY CLUB.
English Workmen Make Late Corners
Pay For Hardness.

English Workmen Make Late Conner:
Pay For Hardness.
In the engineering shops Of a Ger
tain English firm the workmen Of q
year or two ago originated what they
called the Lazy club. 1t was entirely
their own idea, which for obvious rea-
sons has received neither recognition
nor financial support from the manage
ment, but has been the most excellent
means of reducing the number Of late
Corners.
Whenever a workman is more than
five minutes after time he finds the
gate locked, and he is not allowed to
enter until the half hour is up.
This half hour is deducted from his
wages, but in addition he has also to
pay to the treasurer Of the Lazy club
about 3 cents for coming late.
If he is late more than once or Sc
during a week everybody is aware OF
the fact, and the second or third time
he makes his appearance after starting
time he is greeted with terrific com
bination of noises produced on any
available material by his fellow work
men.
At certain periods the accumulated
funds Of the Lazy club are divided
not among those who have produced
them, 1t should be noted, but among
the entire staff equally. Thus the late
workman is made to pay the early
Corners for his laZiness.
The last distribution was just prior
to "bean feast" and funds accumu-
lated during twelve months were dis
tributed. amounting to over $1.75 q
head.-System.

Vegetable Compound has done for me
during this trying period. Complete
restoration to health means so much
to me that for the sake of other suffer
ing women 1 am willing to make my
trouble public so you may publish
this letter" -MRs. CHAs. BARCLAY,
RED, Graniteyille, VT.
No other medicine for woman's ills
has received such widespread and un-
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such a record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years it has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is
unequalled for carrying women safely
through the period of change of life.
It costs but little to try Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and,
as Mrs. Barclay it is "worth noun
tains of gold " to suffering women.

HQld HickorY.O

The following story is told of how
General Andrew Jackson got his title
of "Old Hickory" Captain William
Allen, who was a near neighbor Of the
general, messed with him during the
Greek war. During the campaign the
soldiers were moving rapidly to sur
prise the Indians and were without
tents. A cold March wind came on
mingled with sleet, which lasted fol
several days. General Jackson got q
severe cold, but did not complain, as
he tried to sleep in muddy bottom
among his half frozen soldiers. Cap
tain Allen and his brother, John, cut
down a stout hickory tree, peeled OF
the bark and made a covering for the
general, who was with difficulty per.
suaded to crawl under It, The next
morning drunken citizen entered the
camp and, seeing the tent, kicked 1t
over. AS Jackson crawled from the
ruins the topper cried: "Hello, Old Kick
ory! Come out Of your bark and jine
us in q drink. Detroit News.

At NapoIeon's Tomb.

II was in Paris. The loquacious guide
was exhibiting to the interested Yankee
tourist the tomb OF Napoleon with all the
customary flourishes OF both language
and hands.
"This immense Sarcophagus, " exclaim-
ed the guide, "weighs 40 tons. Inside OF
that, sir, is steel receptacle weighing II
tons, and inside ofthat is aleaden casket,
Theoretically sealed, weighing over2 TONS
Inside of that rests mahogany coffin
containing tbs remains of the great man. "
For moment the Yankee was silent
as if in deep meditation. Then he said
at seems to me that you've got him all
right. If he ever gets out cable me al

BUENos AIRES.
A City With All the Finish Of 4 Paris
or a Berlin.

or a Berlin.
Buenos Aires, the capital of the AR
gentine Republic. Is in some respects
the most cosmopolitan city in the
world. No important European nation
but has contributed its capital and its
people to the upbuilding Of this great
metropolis 1t also has the distinc-
ton of being the second city Of Latin
population in the world. being larger
than the largest cities in Italy and
Spain.
There is perhaps no city which ex-
hibits a greater variety Of pleasing
contemporary styles Of domestic ar
chitecture. The city council tries to
encourage beautiful building by an
nually offering a gold medal to the ar
chitect who is found to have planned
the most attractive facade and by
freeing from the building tax the
building thus favored.
The outward aspect of Buenos Aires
Is rather that Of a European than OF
an American capital. 1t has all the
finish of Paris or Berlin. The abb
sence of the irregular sky line, caused
in North American cities by the ex-
IRENE height of some business build
ings as we'll as the fact that the
ground Of the city is quite uniformly
built upon, even in the more outlying
regions, keeps the city from present
ing that unfinished appearance which
even our largest cities have.-World

The Retort Erudite.

A famous scholar, whose hobby was
the derivation Of words, had occasion
to store his furniture while proceeding
to the continent in quest Of the origin
Of the term ''juggins." During his re-
searches in Berlin he received from
the warehouse company the following
letter: Strive have the honor to in
form you that the mattrass you sent
to our store had the moth In It, Since
the epidemic would expose the goods
Of other clients to injury, we have
caused your mattrass to be destroyed"
The scholar replied: Dear Sir-My
mattress may, as you say, have had
moth in it, but am confident that 1t
had an e. In it also."-London King.
