Moore, who travels much, told the
story of tho recovery of tho Hug while
here. It is best told In his own words:
"In February last tho dancing school
I attended In Worcester luul n barn
dance In Holden, and I dressed my
self tip in tho costume of a Rouben
and went to the dnnce, I decided not
to wear my diamond ring, and wore

Vienna, Austrin. At a cost of $G0,
000,000 tho Austrian ministry of rail
wuys has Just completed building the
Tauern railway between Gastcln In
Salxburg and Splttal In Carlnthla. The
line Is only 30 miles In length and Its
enormous cost was duo to tho engin
eering difficulties, which included the
construction of a tunnel uvb miles
long, costing $0,000,000.
For Austria tho Tauern railway will
have great value In opening up a now
stretch of country to the homo nnd
foreign tourist of surpassing plctur
esqtteness. nut It has also great In
ternational Importance, as In conjunc
tion with thrco other railways built
by tho Austrian ministry within tho
past few years, the Wochciner, Kara
wanltcn and Pyrhn lines, it forms i
new connecting link between central
Europe and the Adriatic. Tills moans
lower freight' rntes between Germany
and tho Mediterranean. And It Is
not without political significance, too,
ns these lines, making a second routo
to Trieste, pass through German dls
tricts of Austria, whereas the present
main lino to the south runs largely
through Italian nnd Slay districts.
Tho Tauern Is one of tho prettiest
bits of mountain railway In tho Alps,
running as It does through a magnlfl
cent region of mountains and fertile
valleys. It is specially interesting
from tho engineering standpoint. Tho
Tauern tunnel Is the second longest
In Austria and took soven years to
build. The work was full of trouble
and peril. Water ru3hed in frequently
and the laborers suffered greatly from
tho heat when reaching tho confer.
Tho rock was unusually hard and
the boring process was necessarily
slow.
A new kind of explosive rock met
with for the first time, gavo the en
glncers much trouble. Tho "knallgcs
toln," as It is called, detached Itself
from the sides of the tunnel without
the slightest provlous warning, and
with n loud report, In great slabs half
an inch thick, causing much alarm
among tho workmen and frequently
bruising and Injuring them.
The building of tho Hue, in fact.
was at the cost of many lives. An
avalanche suddenly swept down tho
mountain sldo one morning In March,
1908, carrying away a workmen's din
ing room, where somo 60 men were
breakfasting at tho time. Only 11
wero saved.
Tho workmen, of whom there were
somo 3,000, were a very cosmopolitan
lot. ltulians wero the most numer
ous, but there were also Macedonians,
Croatlans, AlbanlnnH nud Servians.
Extends Use of Oil as Fuel.
Salt I.ako City. The trial of an oil
burning locomotlvo on the Southern
Pacific division between Sparks and
Cnrlln, Nov., has proved so sotlsfae
tory that the company hns decided to
retire all tho coal-burning engines on
that division. Tho chnngo will be

THINK THEY CAN FOOL HENS
Pennsylvania Farmers Will Experi
ment by Rapidly Alternating Dark
ness and Light to Produce Eggs.
Rlngtown, Pa. Can a hen be fooled
by a trick of tho imagination. Into
laying three eggs inBtend of one every
24 hours?
This Is the question which sovcral
farmers in this agricultural region
propose to test. Hens aro to be kept
in absolute darkness for several hours
to represent the night, then u brilliant
electric light is to be turned on at
intervals to represent daylight.
Chicken fanciers declare that bens
carry largo numbers of embryo eggs
which aro never laid because or tho
long established habit of laying but
ono every day. They theorize that If
this habit can be broken up and the
hens given additional nutriment the
supply of eggs can be greatly increased.
Rides Horse Into Hotel.
New York. Frank J, Mackey, the
well-known California millionaire, who
has resided chiefly in England for a
number of years, has boon fined $10
and costs In a Loudon police court
for riding a horse Into one of the
hotels, according to a cablegram re
ceived hero.
Mr. Muckey is said to have made a
wager that he would rldo the horse
into the hotel and around the billiard
table. Ho did so and was cited to
appear In police court. In paying his
fine, be said he was satisfied becauue
he had won the wager.
His 13-year-old daughtor, who was
playing near tho well, discovered the
sparkler when tho dirt was dumped
from tho bucket. Mr. Gontry sent the
stono to n St. Louis Jowcler, who pro
nounced It genulno nnd offered him
$500 for It.

Spider Painted on a Bald Head Scares
Away the Pestiferous Little
Mosquito.
Wlnsted, Conn. Otis E. Gillette,
enterprising porter nt tho Highland
Lake hotel, is bald-headed. There have
been a number of New Jorsoy peoplo
at the hotel this season nnd he thinks
they must bo responsible for a con
signment of Jersey "Hkeotors" which
made his bald domo their lighting

mosquitoes do not bother tho bald

Glllctto is so well ploascd with tho

IN AGONY WITH ECZEMA.
Whole Body a Mass of Raw, Bleeding,
Torturing Humor nopea ucaw
Would End Fearful Sufferlncj.
In Despair; Cured by Cutlcura.
"Words cannot dcscrlbo tho torrlblo
eczema I aufforod with. It broko out
ou my head nnd kept spreading until
It covered my wholo body. I
was almost n solid mass of sores from
head to foot. I looked nioro llko a
plcco of raw beef than a human be
ing. Tlio pain and agony endured
r.comed moro than I could bear. Blood
and pus oozed from tho great soro on
my scalp, from undor my finger nails,
nnd nearly all over my body. My
enrs wero so crusted and swollen I
was afraid thoy would break off.
Every hair in my head fell out. I
could not sit down, for my clothes
would stick to tho raw and bleeding
flesh, making mo cry out from th
pain, My family doctor did all ha
could, but I got worso and worse. My
condition was awful. I did not think
I could llvo, nnd wanted death to
como and end my frightful sufferings.
"In this condition my mother-in-law
begged mo to try tho Cutlcura Rem
edies. I said I would, but had no hope
of recovery. But oh, what blessed re
lief I experienced after applying Cutl
cura Ointment. It cooled tho bleeding
nnd itching flesh and brought me the
first real sleep I had had in weeks, It
was as grateful as lco to a burning
tongue. I would batho with warm
wator and Cutlcura Soap, then apply
tho Ointment freely. I nloo took Cutl
cura Resolvent for the blood. In a
short tlmo tho sores stopped running,
tho flesh began to heal, and I knew I
was to got well again. Then the hair
on my head began to grow, and In a
short time I was eompletely cured
I wish I could tell everybody who has
eczema to use Cutlcura. Iw. s. Wm.
