ftentiment Would Block Progress.
When the project of building a ra/l
way to the top of the Matterhorn wai
first announced, a few months ago,
there was considerable opposition to
It Zermatt and the district of Vlsp
protested, and the Swiss Alpine club
was antagonistic. The '"Verein fur
Heima'.schutx," the aim of which is to
protect the Alps against vandalism, re-
fused, on the other band, to vote
against the railway, but left the mat
ter to the Judgment of Individual mem
bers. The Alpine club finally with-
drew its objections when attention
was called to the fsct that It had not
withstood the Jungfrau railwny 'about
two-thirds of which Is now completed)
The originator of the Matterhorn
project, the eminent engineer, H. Ira-
feld, has written for the Alpine an
article In which he reviews the objec
| tlons. Tbe chief ones are that the
irdi .lly Invited railway would disfigure the mountain.

ARE LYNCHED
A Fishing Notebook.
For several years It has been my
custom to keep on ray desk a memo
randum book, devoted entirely to fish-
ing notes and bits of useful Informa-
tion, gathered here and there, writes
Howard James In the Outer's Book.
On one rage I find a list of tbe friends
and neighbors to whom I hope to have
the pleasure of sending packages of
trout this season; on another I find a
list of articles necessary to take on a
fishing trip. This has bet?n '.kcreastd
and diminished from time to time, till
It represents what I consider n^ces
sary. The first time that I pack my
kit for the season, I consult this, to
see that my outfit Is complete, and
that nothing has been omitted. It Is
the minor details that often occasion
much inconvenience, such as the tube
of vaseline, the Jar of mosquito dope,
the tooth brush, the waterproof match
boi, or the housewife with needles,
thread and buttons An angler must
be an orderly person or he will come
to grief.
Newaboys' Game Which Haa Small
Chances for the Plungers.
Perhaps It Isn't an entirely new
game, but It was the first time that
the wayfarer had seen It says the
New York Sun.
A group of newsboys were gathered
about another boy who had an Im-
provised top made of a spool pierced
by a aharpened skewer. The spool
was so cut that It presented four
sgusre sides, each marked with a let
ter The letters were P. T. N. and A j
The boy with the top spun it, while
the others made wagers, mostly In j
eents. When the top came to rest It ;
naturally fell on one of the square
tides.
"What does It mean?" asked the
wayfarer.
"Well," said one of the boys, "ao
cording to the way the top falls yon
can make or lose the money you put
np. If It drops on P then you put In
a sum equal to what you bet for the
fellow who runs the wheel. If It falls
on T then you can take back tht
stake you put up.
"If It comes on N that means none
Ton lose Just what you put up. If
It comes to A then the banker has to
pay all the men who are playing."
The spool loulette wheel did a fine
business for the banker while the on
looker was there
STREAK OF LUCK FOR AUNTIE.
Russellville, Ky , Aug 1.—(United
Press)—Four negroes were taken
from Jail here this morning and lynco-
ed by a mob.
The negroes lynched were members
of an organization that endorsed th"
action of Kufus Hrowder, colored, in
murdering Jas. Cunningham, a white
farmer. Browder Is now In Jail at
Louisville. He Is alleged to have
murdered Cunningham because tns
latter discharged him. A warnlrg to
negroes to behave was pinned on the
lynched men.

Naming the Spanish baby the prince
of the Asturias is Just a temporary ar-
rangement until the geographers and
the philologists can get together and,
with the aid of relays of stenograph-
ers, fix up a permanent name for the
helpless infant. The real and official
name of a Spanish king Is like a Chi-
nese play. You read part of It to-daj
and come back to-morrow and the day
after to get the rest It embraces
everything that the historians can
think of and a few more smooth-
sounding words thrown in for good
measure. One would Judge from read-
ing the official title of King Alfonso
XIII., for Instance, that he was the su
preine ruler of the earth, the air, the
waters under the earth and New Mexi-
co, Alaska, Patagonia and all inter-
mediate points. If you will notice,
their photographs show that nearly all
the recent kings of Spain were stoop-
shouldered. That came from trying to
carry their full names around with
them.
Emolument and Honor In Matrimonial
Alliance.
Old Auntie Mandy, who did the
washing, was such a happy, brave old
soul that although she worked very
hard early and late and must often
have been weary, nothing could de
press her. In everything that oc-
curred she saw only "good luck" for
herself. One day she brought home
the washing in a high state of glee.
"Jes' think, Mis' Arnold," she said,
Ts goln' ter git married! Isn't dat
Jes' fine luck fo* poor ole black woman
like me?"
"I shall be very sorry to lose you,
Mandy," said Mrs Arnold, "but I'm
glad If your life will be easier."
"Lose me I" gasped Mandy. "Lor"!
Mis' Arnold, I can't afford to let you
lose me Jes' now Why, I'se goln ter
marry BKer Johnson an' his five chll-
lun. Tse got to hustle now, for sar-
tln."
"But I fall to see where your good
luck Is coming In from such a mar-
riage, Mandy."
"Why, chile, if I marry dat man an'
his chlllun, he's promised me six mo'
big washes his fust wife done had.
Dat's clar cluck, Mis' Arnold, clar
luck, 'sides habin' de honor ob marry-

Aborigines of Central America Seem-
ingly Without Fear.
1 sojourned for more than s year In
Central America, mostly In Hondur
as, where I went to make a study of
the native Indian trlbos," said Charles
C. Lesseuer of New Orleans.
"These shorlglnea are mostly of ,
warlike mold and as brave fighters as
any of the human race. I was es
peclally Impressed with the Inhabl I
tants of the Copan and Oraclas dls (
trlcts. They are the best fighting
stock In all Latin America. Three or i
four hundred of them will often defeat ,
an array of thrice their size. They j
are ever eager for battle and reck (
nothing of heavy adverse odds. They
are supposed to be Christians, but
from what I saw and learned of oth
ers I came to the belief that they prac
tice heathen rites and ceremonies.
They are excellent friends, but ter-
rible enemies, and If defeated In bat-
tle are apt to visit their wrath on their
unfortunate officers.
"These Indiana cling to their primi-
tive customs and do most of their
hunting with bows and arrows. The
way they use the bow Is rather unique
They sight their game, calculate the
distance and then shoot their arrows
Into the air, whereupon the weapon
falls upon the mark, whether bird or
beast, seven times out of ten, with
fatal effect."—Baltimore American.
DECLARES LIQUOR WOT NEEDED.
According to Writer, Europeans In
Tropica Are Better Without It
Transmitting an article written by
Dr Harold II. Mann, and published In
"The Young Men of India," under
the title of "Is Drink Necessary for
Europeans In India?" Consul General
William H. Michael of Calcutta writes:
"Europeans and Americans who
come to India do not need liquors to
keep well; they will be better with
out stimulants of any kind. Alter
nearly two years' residence here my
observations lead me to say that drink-
ers of spirits, wines and malt liquors
are the most susceptible to disease,
especially fevers, either on the plains
or In the mountains, of any class of
the Inhabitants. Proper regard for
dress, to guard against sudden Weath-
er changes, moderation In eating, es-
pecially meats; using only filtered and
boiled water, entire abstention from
alcoholic, vinous and malt liquors, and
plenty of sleep will almost Invariably
Insure, to the average healthy per-
son, good and uniform health, as far
as fevers are concerned, and by add-
'ng vaccination and inoculation, will
go a long way toward making that
person immune from contagious dis-
eases."

A Magic Oven.
The smith was building a large and
peculiar oven. "It's a shame," he
said, "to tell you what this oven's for;
but the secret is too good a one to
keep. It Is a plcture-aglng oven. It
Is guaranteed to add In a couple ol
hours two or three hundred years to
a picture's age You know the cracks,
the innumerable little cracks, that
cross-cross In a thousand squares and
diamonds the surface of an old mas-
ter? Well, a smooth, fresh picture, put
Into this oven, develops under a care
fully regulated temperature thoss
very cracks. Withdraw your picture,
then add dust and dirty varnish to
taste and set to cool, and you'vs
got an old master that Gobsa Golds
or Stoxon Bonds will pay big money
for. I daren't tell you the name of the
well known art dealer I am making
this oven for," the smith concluded.
"But it's not the first, nor the tentk
oven, either, I've turned out"

"There Is a little chap In our town,"
said the suburbanite, "whose fathei
and mother have words quite frequent-
ly, and have them loud enough to be
heard by the neighbors. The burden
of their recriminations, when audible,
is, on the wife's part, that she evei
lowered the Hicks family sufficiently
to marry a 8tubbs; and on his part
that he ever honored the Hicks family
by allying It with the house of Stubbs
One day last summer the young son
of the house went fishing. He had
barely got his line Into the brook
when he heard his mother calling him.
" 'There it Is,' said he, disgustedly;
'the minute the Stubbses begins ts
fish the Hickses begins to holler.'
Guarding Bank of France.
Like the Bank of England, the Bank
of France Is now guarded every night
by soldiers But within quite recent
time the offlRlals at the French bank
resorted to a very novel method ol
protecting their bullion.
This consisted in engaging masons
to wall up the doors of the vaults In
the cellar with hydraulic mortar aa
soon as the money was deposited each
day in these receptacles. The water
was then turned on and kept run-
ning until the whole cellar was
flooded A burglar would be obliged
to work in a diving suit and break
do\fn a cement wall before he could
even begin to plunder the vaults.
When the bank officials arrived next
morning the water was drawn off, ths
masonry torn down and the vaults
opened.

Cap Worn Only by Travelers.
With the ancient Greeks the hat
was simply an appurtenance of the
traveler. The free citizen preferred
to go bareheaded and only put on his
broad-brimmed petasus for protection
against the sun when on a long Joui*
ney. Indeed, the uncovered head was
part of his dignity, for the slaves and
workmen wore always a kind of point-
ed skull cap, the plleus, which there
fore stood for a badge of servitude.
Much the same scorn of habitually
covering the head prevailed among
the Romans. In England the hood
was not finally given up until the
early psrt of the fifteenth century.
Library of Wooden Books.
▲ private library of quite a unique
character is composed solely of 600
wooden books. The collection has
been made from the wood of different
trees growing in the park attached to
the chateau of Wllhelmshohe. At the
tack of each book is s tablet In red
morocco Indicating ths name of ths
tree from which the volume has been
made, and the two covers are lightly
polished. Inside the book the com-
plete natural history of the tree Is de-
tailed. The collection, wblch Is at

A Canine Curio.
Two or three dogs are nearly always
to be found loafing about every black-
smith's shop. This fact is so well
recognized that detectives, when sent
out after valuable dogs that have been
lost, invariably visit first of all the
blacksmiths' shops in the neighbor*
hood. The reason why the dogs fre-
auent the blacksmiths' shops is that
they love Inordinately the odor and
the taste of burning hoofs. They snuff
the odor as a woman snuffs a rose,
and they eat the hoof parings as a
gourmet cats truffles. Landseer, the
great animal painter, knew this odd
fact well, and in his famous picture
Df "The Smith's Shop," a dog in the
foreground is greedily munching sliv-
srs of toasted hoof.
Fishing with Forty-Foot Rods.
In sea fishing at Biarritz, France
some remarkably long and heavy rodf
are employed. We think a 20-foot
salmon rod or roach pole Is a pretty
good length, but our friends at Biar-
ritz use rods over 40 feet in length.
In fishing from the walk at the light-
house the rods are balanced on the
railing by means of a wood rest fitting
the Iron bars. A line about the length
of ths rod is used, three or four hooks
and a light sinker. At La Pointe Plate
rods of lesser length and weight are
used, but even these are not feather-
weights by any means. Reels, accord-
ing to Vicomte Henri de France, are
known to these sea anglers, but are
seldom used.
Gray and Brow* Camels.
The length of a stage varies through^
