Jim Reeves THE THAMES TUNNEL. The Thames tunnel is a small af fair compared with the immense borings which arc soon to connect New York with New Jersey and Brooklyn, yet eighteen years were consumed in its construction. It, passed through nearly ns many vicis litudes as have been encountered by the Hudson river tunnel, and the ac tive labor involved was about nine years. It cost $3,000,000 and was a linancial failure from the begin ning, the tolls being only $25,000 a tear, hardly enough to keep the lin ing in repair. Half a century ago it was spoken of us a “stupendous work.” Much foot passenger paid a toll of a penny. The tube was reached by means of cylindrical shafts of ioo steps each. In 1850 the “fancy fair” was held in it, and this under the Thames exhibition attracted 60,000 persons in live days. In 1865 the East London Railway company bought the tunnel for sl,- 000,000 and is now runr.'pg fifty trains a day through it.—}V\v York Tress. LOOK PLEASANT, PLEASE. Photographer C. 0.

William Gillette, the author-tictor and playwright, is an enthusiastic boatman. When he was a boy in Hartford, Conn., when his father was the founder of the suburb of Glenwood, he spent almost all his leisure constructing pad*?e boats on the Farmington river. When Gil lette got rich, he built a roomy house boat called the Holy Terror. Cum bersome as the craft was,she had her own motive power, so that her own er could move from one point to an other at will without depending on the exactions of a tugboat captain. One Sunday Gillette stopped on the Hudson, just below Grant’s tomb, to take on some guests. When he started away, the machinery of his Holy Terror got awry, and the houseboat ran amuck through a lot of little catboats and rowboats an chored along shore, tearing away rigging, dories and everything in sight. Gillette stopped to ascertain the damage and make promises to pay “ Say,” exclaimed one man who rented boats, “if you are going to build another thing like that I wish you’d name her the Merry Hell.” A Dude's Narrow Escape. Two youths, dressed without re gard to expense (or fashion), strolled up Broadway, New York, one of them twirling a heavy lancewood cane. “Look out!” cautioned his com panion. “You came near knocking THE CANE TWIRI.EE GLANCED BACK AT THE MAN. off the hat of that man we just passed. Carry your cane more care fully or you'll get in trouble.” The cane twirler glanced back at the man whose hat he had so nar rowly missed. “I wouldn’t have cared if I had knocked it off,” lie bragged. “I’m pretty good at sizing up a man, and that iittle fellow wouldn’t have last ed half a round against me. Besides, from the look of him any fool could see he wouldn’t have sand enough to resent it.” And they passed on, never dream ing of the averted tragedy. For the “little fellow” was Tom Sharkey. Carnegie Amused. Andrew Carnegie is not often a visitor to Wall street, and when he went down there a few weeks ago he passed unobserved down the famous thoroughfare, right into the arms of a runner for a bucket shop. “Come to put up a little money on the rise of the market?” asked the runner. “Sure thing; can’t lose. Stocks are going up. I’ll show you where you can double your money in half an hour.” “Double all I have?” asked Mr. Carnegie, assuming an air of eager innocence. “llow much’ve you got?” inquired the runner. “Oh, a little less than $175,000,- 000,” replied the canny Scotsman simply. “Wh-what ?” gasped the man. “But I am trying to get rid of it, not double it,” went on the iron master. “Why, are you Andrew Carne gie?” asked the runner. “I am,” said he, going on and chuckling quietly to himself.—New York World. The Page's Pointed Question. Senator Mallory of Florida, bald as a doorknob, sat in the Democratic cloakroom one morning. He called for a page. A boy came in who had a big bunch of hair standing straight up from his forehead. “Son,” said the senator, “why don't you get that cowlick of vours fixed? You should train it down, or when you get married it will give vour wife a fine plaee to grab hold ’of.” “Senator,” asked the boy meekly, “is that the wav vou lost vour hair ?” FOR THE LITTLE ONES. When Willie Learned How the Flies Brush Their Coats. Willie, flushed and happy, had just come in from the barn, where he had been playing hide and seek. “I guess my little boy needs to find a brush,” said his mother, looking up from her work, for there were clinging to his pretty sailor suit bits of dry grass and seeds from the mows, and some were playing peek aboo in the little fellow’s hair. “Oh, mother, can’t I wait? I’m just too tired now.” “If flies had been playing hide and seek, they wouldn’t allow a speck of dust to stay on their heads. They’d brush it off,” casually re marked Aunt Nan. “Flies!” exclaimed Willie incred ulously. “Where’d they get their brushes, I’d like to know ?” “Oh, they have them and use them,” laughed Aunt Nan. “Hairbrushes ?” questioned Wil lie, and his face took on a perplexed look. “Yes, and with them they always keep themselves very clean. Have you never seen a fly rub his delicate front legs over his head?” “Lots of times,” replied Willie quickly. “Well,” resumed Aunt Nan, “there are a great many hairs on the underside of a fly’s feet and legs, and these form tiny hair brushes. When any dust gets on a fly’s head, he brushes it off at once, and then he rubs his legs together, as you have probably noticed. That is so that no dust may cling to the little brushes.” “Hurrah, Mr. Fly!” exclaimed Willie. “I guess you needn’t think you’re the only one who can use a brush even if the other fellow doesn’t carry his brushes round on his feet!” Away he ran, and when he came back his mother said her little boy looked neat enough to be kissed. Finding the Way. I can show papa the way, I know, Out to the meadows and up the hill, Over the fields where the daisies blow, Off to the woodland so far and still. I could show papa the way if he Cares to go visiting them with me. I’d find the way. oh, I could, indeed, Down through the paths where the squirrels play. Over the pastures where cattle feed. While the glad robin keeps holiday; Under the cool of the shady trees, Into the homes of the birds and bees. But when we'd seen all the wonderland And we were ready at last to go I should be glad to take papa's hand, FOr I'm afraid I shouldn't know Nearly so well, after all. as he Just what the safest way home would be. —Frank Walcott Hutt. A Child Tourist. There recently arrived in Port land, Ore., the first and only little seven-year-old girl who can claim the honor of having all alone crossed the great Atlantic ocean and the big United States. Miss Florence May Tippins of Coleford, England, is this cour ageous little tourist. She left her home in the mother country, took passage on board the St. Louis at Southampton, being put in the care of the captain, reached New York in safety and then started her long journey west- FLORENCE MAY TIFFINS. ward across the United States to the home of Mrs. Louisa Wendt in Portland, Ore. The conductor on the New York, Ontario and Western railroad into whose care she was put seemed de lighted with his charge and prom ised to pass her on to the next con ductor with full instructions to look out for her.* This half of the little girl’s jour ney proved even more exciting and full of change and noveky than her passage over on the St. Louis,, for once on the vessel she was as well cared for as though she had been traveling with her mother or a chaperon, every one on the vessel taking a hand in entertaining and looking after the little traveler. DR. T. S. HOL LEYMAN SAYS ALU CHRONIC DISEASES CAN BE CURED IP HIS ADVICE IS FOLLOWED. Editor News-Gazette: “During the past year I have treated in Macon and vicinity, many hundreds of patients, suffering from chronic dis eases of nearly every variety, and not in a single instance have I failed to efFect a cure where my advice has been been followed to the end. This leads me to believe nearly all chronic mala dies can be cured. So well satisfied am I of this fact, that I will give a written guarantee of a positive cure to every patient I treat, or, in case of a failure I will forfeit the entire fee. To those who are ailing and whose cases have baffled others, this will be glad news, so I would be pleased to see it publish ed in your columns. “The maladies which prevail in this section, and which I am most often called upon to treat, are catarrh and catarrhal deafness, male and female weakness, blood and skin diseases, goiter, cancer, rupture and diseases of the rectum. Also the opium habit. Scores of representative citizens who have been cured by me will bear evi dence of this fact” Dr. Holleyman is the chief consulting associate physician of the British Medi cal Institute, located at 354 Second street, Macon, Ga. He makes no charge for examination, he find you incurable he will frankly tell you so. Hours, 9to 8; Sundays, 10 to 1. A PARISIAN MARVEL Paris has anew marvel in a girl dramatist, who, though only ten years o.d, has composed several plays of much precocity. She is Mile. Champmoynat, and her literary name is Carmen d’Assilva. The lit tle one has been admitted to the So ciety of Dramatic Authors and has been complimented and encouraged to persevere by M. Victorien Sardou. The child herself states that her brain is always working up dramatic situations and incidents. She ob serves everything that passes and prefers large cities with their bus tling crowds, which she studies, to the quiet country, where everything seems to her inert and dead. The precocious infant also tells people that she comprehends everything in life thoroughly. She has, in fact, learned to understand all the springs of human action. Likely enough she does, for she is a sad pessimist, this ten-year-old. The world is abominable, in her estimation, but amusing. Carmen is now writing a comedy on woman before and after marriage. Long and Short Miles. English speaking countries have four different miles —the ordinary mile of 5,280 feet and the geograph ical mile of (1,085 l’ect, making a dif ference of about one-seventh be tween the two; then there are the . Scotch mile of 5,928 feet and the Irish mile of 6,720 feet—four vari ous miles, every one of which is still in use. Then almost every country has its own standard mile. The Romans had their mil passuum, 1,000 paces, which must have been about 3,000 feet in length. The Ger man mile today is 2-1,318 feet in length, more than four and a half times as long as ours. The Dutch, Danish and Prussian mile is 18,449 feet, three and a half times as long as ours, and the Swiss get more ex ercise in walking one of their miles than we get in walking five miles, for their mile is 9,153 yards long. Earned His Tip, Secretary Shaw told this story on himself the other evening: “Sam, the darky who brushes my clothes in a barber shop in Wash ington, is particularly clever in deli cately reminding customers that he expects a tip. One morning just be fore the Fourth I was thinking of other things and was walking away without dropping a coin into his hands. “ ‘Let me brush your coat again, Mr. Secretary,’ said Sam, running after me. “ ‘Why do you want to brush it again?’ I asked. “ ‘ ’Cause, Mr. Secretary,’ said Sam without cracking a smile, ‘ ’cause I might brush out some gold dust, 6ir.’ “Sam got his tip.”—New York Times.
