IN LAND OF BEAUTY
Switzerland a Perpetual Delight
for the Tourist.
Charm OF Ancient Times TO Be Met
With at Every Turn-country
Of Immense Views and Mag
nlficent Sunsets.

Geneva. - Switzerland for the
Swiss" is the occasional plant that
catches the eye of the reader of the
Swiss journals. the latest items OF
the kind being the little communing
of Rd In a recent Journal de Geneve.
THE strangers are here" it begins,
with their porters, their guides,
their autos, their funiculars, the pano-
ramas and shops. and souvenirs born
of the shops-will they not presently
make our country uninhabitable? But
when the day does come" he con-
tinues In substance, land we shall be
obliged to abandon the Alps, there
will still remain to US the great Swiss
plateau"
The Germans do not cease to boast
of flowery Lunebourg, the Black For
est, the Bords du Rhin, the Thuringian
hills and of the Saxon Switzerland,
and perhaps some day, drawn by their
persistent praise, We may get to see
them, but then, they resemble the
scenery of the Swiss plateau.
"Do you know of it," he continues.
THE foot of the Jura, the Fribourg
country, the Toggenbourg, High Thur
govia, the outskirts of Schaffhausen,
the banks of the Aar and the Reuss,
the little lakes of Bienne, Hallwyl and
the Greiffensee. And do you know
that there are little villages where
there are still the good old inns with
their wrought iron swing-signs, just as
in the days of the diligence? Do you
realize the beauties of the hillocks
here, the prealpes, from which the
view is immense and the sunsets are
magnificent"
There used to be In this old Switzer-
land the ancient customs. Sundays,
when fair, the forests were filled with
the young girls in white, with bare
arms and flowers in their hair, and
troops of children loaded with the
berries and blossoms of the country.
Now there are no troopsings Of the
children, no songful young men, no
girls in white. You ramble In the
woods-it is hot below, but it is al
ways cool and fragrant In groves Of
pine-but there is no one there. You
stroll leisurely, you fill your hand
kerchief with chantereilles and this
Is what you see. "a vast expanse of
hills, the nearer green, the middle dis
lance, blue. There are masses Of
forests, one behind another, the viii
lage is out there, crowned by its
lofty castle, the covered bridge below
and the calm river flows without so
much as a ruffie. Houses play at hide
and seek with you, and their chimneys
smoke In unison like cronies, for the

OF the fast trips were made used to
take great delight In riding on the en-

Of the trips was thirty-five minutes,
which included stops at Brownville.
Ray, my recollection being that the
station at Rosiere was not open at
that time. Deducting the time used
for stops, the actual running time
would average sixty miles an hour.
All engines used on passenger trains
had small driving wheels, and it will
be remembered that all passenger
trains except Nos. l and consisted
of baggage car and two coaches,
consequently an engine could get
train under good Roadway much faster
than engines with the heavy equip

There was one exception to this, how

passenger trains between Watertown
and Ogdensburg, had the largest

consequently 1t was slow to get under

REAL TRUTH ABOUT SIDE WHISPERS

The truth about whiskers is out.
Turn the spotlight on Chauncey
Depew.

land, after his annual wandering on
foreign strands, Americas ex-cham-
pIon after-dinner statesman stood on
the deck of an Atlantic steamer the
other day and admitted that he was
the modern father of all hirsute facial
adornment
Mr.. Depew was much incensed by
the report that an invasion of Eng
lish whiskers threatens the United
States. He fingered his own flowing
white ones caressingly as he made
the following points:
That he began to raise this same
crop fifty years ago.
That forty-nine years and nino
months ago they were just as they
are now, barring wilderness of color
that is natural at seventy-nine.
That he made many annual trips
to England, taking the whiskers with

DEAN OF FRENCH JOURNALISTS QUITS

Henri Rochefort, veteran polemist
and dean Of French journalists, has
laid aside his pen forever.
He Is almost eighty-two years old,
has been in journalistic harness for
half a century, and until the present
indisposition has not missed writing
an article every day for more than
forty years. Even since his eyes be-
gan to fail him, only once has he
missed debating his daily article.
And now the doughty old fighter
takes what he believes to be only a
temporary rest at the imperative or.
der Of his physicians. The paper for
which he has written SO many pal.
plating articles announces that no
one replaces him. 1t says in effect

 Carries Cotton Free
TURKEYS ARE COSTLY

London, December x.-Blackburn trade unionist, supported by several manufac- turers have entered protest against the inducements being offered 70 the girls of Lancashire to desert their looms and emigrate to Canada.
 Immigration agents have been going through the northern country pointing out to the girls what excellent oppor- tunities there are for girls in the Do- minion, where the men outnumber the women, and that after working for 8 short time they are almost certain to make good marriages.
 Unfortunately for the agents, however, the expansion of the cotton industry shortage of labor is threatened and the suggestion has been seriously made that a deputation should be sent to other countries with the view of per suading Lancashire factory emigrants to return to the old country and their old trade.
 When 8 proposal was made at a meeting of the guardians of Blackburn to the effect that the board should approve of the emigration of suitable girls from the union cottage homes to Canada, prac- tically the whole board protested. The proposer urged that Britishers in Can ada wanted English wives. and that in their absence they married Russians and Poles. The reply of the other Guardians was that the girls were just as badly needed in the mills, where they earned as much as the men, and had a more independent life.
 Englishmen paid more for their Christ mas turkeys this year than for many seasons past The home supply, which comes mostly from Cheshire was small, because of the floods of last summer, when many hundreds of birds were drowned. In some districts, which usu- ally sent hundreds of birds to London, hot a single one could be obtained this year. and in other districts the supply was far below the normal.
 The Balkan war is another factor, Eng 1ano gets her cheaper birds in normal years from Hungary and Servia. This year Servia sent few. If any and the Hungarian supply was also short. Russia might have been looked for to make up the shortage, but big cold storage ware house was recently destroyed there, re- ducing half of nine months supplies to

 The plan of the British government 10 cure habitual prisoners by kindness has received a temporary setback.
 Early in the year there was established al Camp Hill, Isle of Wight, what is known as a prison hotel" where men sent for an indefinite term of detention after penal servitude have privileges that are not available to the men in the neigh boring penal servitude prison.
 There Is a canteen from which they can obtain certain luxuries; they are permit ted to smoke and write to their friends; and there is a common hall for meals and recreation. A certain period of good be- hevior, however, is required before the li1en are eligible for these privileges. Re- gently more new arrivals demanded eX- ceptional treatment immediately upon ar rival, and being refused it started a mu tiny. They refused to do their allotted work smashed the cell furnishings and demolished the cottage windows.
 Soft words had no effect, and not until the ringleaders were transferred to Park hurst prison and the birch applied to them did the trouble end. For time the military were held in readiness so vio- lent did the prisoners become.
 
 The Union Castle Steamship company has adopted novel plan for encouraging the growing of cotton in South Africa. Some time ago the company offered to carry to England free the first 200o bales of cotton shipped from East London. Owing to the progress of cotton growing in the ilinterland of Capetown the com pany fas asked to extend the offer to other parts of the union, and has agreed to do so
 It is calculated that until the ship ment of cotton from South African value of which is estimated at between sS0o.O0o and sS5o.oOo. the growers will have nothing to pay in the way of freight. With the introduction of new methods of agriculture it is said that the soil of South Africa can be made to produce fifty-fold what it does now.
