That Terrible Fatigue _ Can Be Ovcrcomc .These figures help to demon- Nate the poverty that exists in Ireland. It must, however, be re- membered that the Irish pensioners are the survivors of a time when Ireland’s population was twice what it is at present, and that as they die off the disparity in the pro- poItionate fiirupes will diminish. Proportion " Greater Than in the United Kingdom. In Ireiand the percentage per Monsand of old age pensioners ex- ,eds that of England, Wales and gent! combined. The exact pro- p0 is 46.86 per 1,000 of the population, England and Wales combined having 17.81, and Scot- land 19.82. The mower returns to the mottn- tain in winter, when the ground is snow-eovered, and takes with him a little sledge. Putting the hav' on the sledge. and seating himself in front, he shoots to the valley with the swiftncss of an arrow. Thus the bay of the Alps is garnered. During the two months of hay- harvest, he descends to the village only three or four times to renew his supply of food, and many times he has to seek a. bed and pass the night under some projecting rock.

Mayer states: "I think no one ever suf- tered as severely as I did for nearly six months. So many serious symptoms were developing as B consequence of this evil condition of my system that I realized I must find a remedy. The strong pills of various kinds I tried seemed titer their first effects were over to e me tar worse and I did not which way to turn for relief. I law Dr. Hamilton's Pills adver- tised, and the first box used satis- tied me.- I found a true remedy. Instead of griping with undue ac- tivity, Dr. Harrn"leon's Pills acted as naturally as if physio had not been taken. I never had to in- crease the dose, indeed, within a month I reduced it, and when the system finally acted of its own ac- cord as a result of Dr. Hamilton's Pills, I took a dose twice a week only, just to make sure the old con- dition would not come back."

At this station one changes cars and the system of transportation changes also. It is just as well, too, for the ascent has been so rapid and the change in the density of the air so great as to be uncomfortable to people with weak hearts. At Sta. tion 3, therefore, one may rest and get his breath. for the most sense. tional is yet to come. From now on one swings through the air. ' Cars Now Like Baskets. The cars used on this last section are smaller, accommodating only 16 persons. They are more like a bas- ket. When the signal is given the ear immediately runs out on a sin- gle span of unsupported cable 2,130 feet long, straying 600 feet above the Glacier Bond. The engineering teat in this case has been to anchor the two ends of the long cable. for on the lower end the engineers have been hampered with loose moraines and have had to descend consider able to get a, firm grip. Here, then, is something new tor the traveller! There is nothing like it anywhere else in the world. Your experiences have, been incomplete unless you have tasted the joys of “swonmnsr the swoop." To swing from the fourth station to the summit of the Col is impossi- ble in one swoop. so half way, on a projecting pinnacle of granite, the engineers are placing a tension py- lon to relieve the strain. To this tension pylon, however, is an un- broken swoop of a half mile--2,788 feet, to be exaet--arul from the ten- sion pylon to the summit another shoot of 1,837 feet.

The names of the dogs are on the list for pro- motion for bravery in battle. They are Bataillon, Raid and Maximil- lian. Bataillon distinguished him- self in China, in Madagascar, and in Morocco. He set out with a. com- panion from Hyeres, named Pom- pom, a year ago, for Casablanca, with his regiment, and both dogs took an tretive share in the fighthte round Fez, carrying the wounded and barking at the approach of the enemy. The unfortunate Pompom lost his life in one battle, and was buried almost with military honors, and soldiers shed Mars over his grave. Bataillon, who is now 13 years of age, has returned to France, and will be pensioned off. 2,000 meters of cable suspended on 27 pylons, separated by distances varying from 25 to 145 meters. This power station, near Pierre Pointau. on the Alpinisths route up Mont Blanc, is at an altitude of 1,676 meters. From the power sta- tion to the third station, just under the shadow of the Aiguille du Midi. is a second series of 24 pylons. The cable between these two stations is 1,400 me_ters long. ' The idea of constructing this re- markable railroad originated in the brain of Fidele Eugster, a Swiss liv- ing at Dijon, France, who is sup- plying the necessary funds tor its construction. He applied to a firm of engineers in Zurich and Berne, who declared it feasible. Means Thrllls for Tourists. The starting station of the line is situated down in the Valley of Cha- monix.

Think of a. scenic railway over two miles long, shooting the chutes on a real height. A few years ago anyone who talked of building such a. line would have run the danger of being locked up in a madhouse. To-day some Swiss engineers and Italian constructors not only have declared such a railroad to be feast ble and raised $1,200,000 to build the line, but part of it is already working! That is, material is be- ing hauled up thousands of feet over pylons, and daring workmen use the line to mount and-descend from their work. Will They Appreciate It. This extraordinary railroad is to run from Chamonix, in France, up the Aiguille du Midi, a precipitous needle rising 12,608 feet. Its object is to show tourists the unmatched glories of Mont Blanc and its chain of peaks and glaciers. Instead of running on term firms, however, like most of the Swiss mountain rail. roads. it is to go through the air on pylons and cables. swinging from peak to peak fir above the eternal snows and glaciers.

This is the only instance of this kind among birds and is a singular case of the care of nature in providing for her creatures.

The growing popularity of dogs with women is greatly increasing the incomes of veterinary surgeons in Great Britain.

A The most ingenious operation, however, was the manufacture of a false leg tor a. cat. A cat's bones are very elastic and springy, so the false leg was made of leather in order tourive some spring to it.

It is a matter of vital importance to every farmer, horse-owner, and stock-raiser to know exactly what to do when one of his animals IS taken suddenly sick. The lecter of Mr. Frank G.

For instance, German silver is not really silver at all; neither is it German. It was invented in China centuries ago, and it is an alloy of some of the inferior metals. Cork legs, too, did not come from Cork, and are made of willow.

It must not be imagined that turkeys first came from Turkey, for they are natives of America. Irish stew is a thoroughly English dish, and Irish potatoes come chiefly from America.

Qua, Oct. l W. Skeptical. Many Eccentric Bequests Have Been Made In England. Ancient bequests for having bells rung and beacons lighted_tor the purpose of guiding travellers by night are quite numerous, which is hardly to be wondered at when one considers the apologies for roads and the absence of fences in the “good old days." " A plot of land, rejoicing in the name of “Petticoat Hole," is held at Stockton-on-the-Forest, in York- shire, on condition of providing a poor woman of the place with a new Petticoat once a year. In the old days, when rushes were strewn on the floor in lieu of car- pets, many persons left bequests of money and land providing rushes for the floors of churches. Their use, of course, has long been dis- continued, but in certain places the churchwardens attend to the pre- servation of their rights by cutting a little grass each year and strew- ing it on the floor. But perhaps one of the most ec- centric bequests was that of a cer- tain John Rudge, of Trysull, Staf- fordshire, who left a, pound a year tor a. poor man to go round the par- ish church while the sermon was be- ing preached. awakening the slum- berers, and incidentally to eject any stray dogs that might invade the sacred premises! There may be seen on the bene- faction table at Deptford Church a record to the effeet that “a person unknown gave half a quarter of wheat, to be given in bread on Good Fridav and half a load of rushes at Whitsuntide, and a. load of pea- straw at Christmas yearly," tor the use of the church. This bequest has since been put upon a strictly mon- ey basis, an offer of 213. per nnnum being accepted in 1721 in the place of the straw and rushes, and lots. in 1744 in lieu of the wheat.
