NO taint of yellowness attaches to
aionziccticut’s delegation at Washing-

tutored byseveral of our congressmen
concerning the Maine disaster and
Cuba, and which have displayed the
credentials of common-sense and been

i-datt distinctly discourages intemper-

HIGH TEMPERATURE IN TUNNELS.
‘Heai‘ts'.
It is very curious that the great ob-
stacle encountered in tunnelingrund-er
the snow-covered Alps is the excessive-
ly high temperature. In the construc-
tion‘ofythe Mount Cenis tunnel, accord-
ing to statistics, the highest tempera-
ture recorded was 86 degrees Fahrenheit
which was reached at a point near the
center of the tunnel, about 5,100 feetbe-
neath the mountain summit, on which
the mean temperature is 27 degrees.
TheSt. Gothard was still hotter, a
temperature of 95 degreeshaving been
observed in the center for several days.
Such a heat, in a moisture-laden and
impure atmosphere, could be endured
but five hours a day for two days in
three; and so prostrating was the labor
at Mont Cenis and St. Gothard that the
physician who attended the working—

invalids to have been as great as sixty
to the one hundred, Strangefi" still

of the earth. Even greater rock tem-
peratures are expected in the great tun-
nels projected in recent years—those of
the Simplon,v,S't. Bernard and Mont
Blane—experienced engineers predict-
ing that under Mont Blanc a heat con-
siderably greater than: 100 degrees—
possibly above 125 degrees—will be
reached. Improved methods of ven-
tilating, cooling and working will all

CYCLISTS SEE A STRANGE SIGHT.
A Teuton’s Ingenious “'ay of Getting
Down a Big: Hill.
“We Americans traveling abroad are
apt to be very proud of our reputation
for cleverness,” said a tourist who
went bicycling in Europe last summer.
“And no doubt we have reason to be.
But I am going to tell you how I had
some of the conceit taken out of me:
“We were going through Switzerland
and had reached the close of the first
day’s descent toward Geneva. The
road had been too steep to coast with-
out the aid of a brake, and, as we were
afraid to use our brakes for fear our
tires would not last us through the trip,
we back-pedalled all the way.
“As we were sitting after supper on .
the veranda of the lodge discussing the
fatigue of our unusual exercise, and
dreading the marrow, which meant
more of the same sort, our attentiOn
was suddenly called to a cloud of dast
descending the mountain side. Then
we saw a cyclist, coasting as nice as-
you please, towing a good-sized sap-
ling,' which acted as an effective brake,
without injury to the tires. One of the
boys ejaculated: ‘j‘Velll Why didn’t
we think of that?’ ‘The rest were sim-
ply dumb. That man wasa German. ‘
i now take off my hat- to our German
brethren of the wheel.”—Pall Mall Ga-
zette. '
USED CANDLES FOR TIPS.
tortlonate Bill.
An American consul in Belgium tells
of a New Yorker who was sden to a
room in a hotel in Brussels where he
found twenty candles stuck in a chan-
delier in the center. As it was dark,
the attendant lighted them all; but the
guest had been in European hotels‘be-
fore, and made-him put" them out im-
mediately. It was of no avail, howev-
er. In his bill next day he found them
‘charged, “Twenty candles, 10 francs.”
'30 he went back to the room and took
them all out, wrapped them in a. bit of
paper and slipped them into his pock-
et.
When he was about to leave 'he found
the servants drawn up in two lines
in the hall, in the European style—ten
men servants on one side, ten maid
servants on the other, all smiling and
ready for the expected tip. Then he
drew out his package and distributed
the candles, one to each. “Allow me,
monsieur,” said he, with a bow; “perf
mit me, madame. They are very su-
perior candles, I assure you; I paid 10
cents apiece for them;” and he left
them all staring at their candles like
so many altar boys.
FOR REST AND MEDITATION.
A Unique Church in Which -no Services
Are to be Held. '
In Hyde Park place, a little distance
west of the Myrtle Arch, in London,
is a church that is almost unique
among the sacred edifices of the me-
trOpolis. It is called the Church of the
Ascensicon. It is a very handsome
building in red brick, and has been
built by Mrs. Russel Gurney, the wid-
ow of the late Recorder of London. It
. ‘will not be used for services, but for
“rest and meditation,” as a notice in-
viting wayfarers to enter sets forth.
.When finished it will be one of the
most beautiful sights in London, and
in its present state well repays a visit.
The floor is tessellated, and the walls
will be covered with paintings. No
plain stone will be visible. At present
the panels, which are painted, contain
representations of Scriptural charac-
ters, the work of Mr. F. Shields. The
north end is raised, and here, as in
many Roman Catholic churches— un-
like Angeucan—win bé the chancel,
the marble steps to which will afford a
kneeling place for; worshippers.

-Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. ’ Too frequent‘desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out ,of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and.
every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef-
fects following use, of liquor, wine, or
beer. and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urin-
ate. The mild an the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty
cents and one dollar. You may have a
sample bottle and pamphlet both sent
free by mail. Mention THE GAZETTE,
and send your address to Dr. Kilmer &
CO., Binghamr-on, N. Y. The pro-
prietors of this paper guarantee the
genuineness of this offer.
