Special Ilcrliti Letter 1
Among the pluturcsquu districts un
til recently ncy'.ectocl by the American
touri&ts in lCurope Is that region known
generuily as Saxon Switzeiland. This
neglect, however, is now being muck up
for, as the number of Americans visit
ing that lovely region is steadily on the
Increase. 1 noticed, among the passen
gers on a river boat folug up the Elbe,
several charming American bridal par
ties, and on the summit of one of the
finest peaks 1 stumbled into a group of
Americans who hailed from every part
of the United States, but who were
here, focussed together, as it were, In
this tiny paradise.
For Saxon Switzerland is a veritable
paradise, it has not the grand air of
the real Switzerland, and it lacks gla
ciers and cloud-piercing monsters of
mountains. But of its kind it is more
attractive. There is a mixture of idyllic
peace and peculiar picturesqueness in
the landscape that is extremely charm
ing. The people there arc not yet so
greedy nfter the dollars of the tourists;
in fact, they are for the most part quite
naive and hospitable, and their brook
trout and fresh fruit and the products
of their mountain industries are as yet

all to be had at a very reasonable rate.
In fact, for a holiday of a fortnight or
so I know of no more propitious spot on
earth than this same Saxon Switzer
land, and as such it is recognized by
thi shrewd Germans, the Berliners es
pecially, who undertake frequently and
at small expense brief trips there.
The best way to do this is to take the
fast train from Berlin to Dresden, stop
there over night, and then take one of
the pretty Elbe boats the next morn
ing and make the circuit through the
whole region by easy stages, going by
boat up the river a few hours, then dis
embark again, and make a dive down
one of the marvelousl.y pretty side val
leys, of which glimpses were caught in
Hearing it on the water; then making n
roundabout way through the rocky
formations again, and reach another
fctenrnboat station higher up, whence
to pass on for another spell. Hotels,
Boine luxurious, others rather primitive,
but all clean, wholesome and providing
good fare, are to be met with every-

where, and pleasant traveling compan
ions are sure to be encountered almost
at any stage of the journey. Tho
whole trip, taking iu ecry point of in
terest, fur into the (Jermau-speukiug
part of Bohemia, and lasting, say a
fortnight, reckoning from the time of
leaving Berlin, with fare and hotel ex
penses may be made for about $5; liv
ing on the fat of the laud, too, on that
bum.
Saxon Switzerland owes its peculiar
charm to several circuiustnnces. It is
a region of mountains, tall, perpendic
ular rocks and bowlders (some rising
straight from the bunks of the Elbe to
an altitude of 1,000 feet and over, and
the summits of the mountains 2,000 to
3,000 feet even) through which the
lovely Elbe river winds its way. The
rock formations, with their odd shapes,
owe their origin to a remote voluunic
past, and being all of sandstone, the
rock is piled on, so to speak, layer on j
IfPil
fell -4mfi
layer, with needlc-llkc peaks jutting
forth in the most unexpected places,
oftcu dotted with tall and magnificent
trees, often, too, bare and showing tho
loveliest kaleidoscopic changes, as the
light, the sun, the clouds, the weather
net upon them.
A sunrise and a sunset, for instance,
with the roseate or deeper tints of tho
orl. thrown on the two walls of steep
rocks hemming in both shores of the
silvery river, are among the illicit sights
thnt human eye can behold anywhere,
mid then ngain.tlie view, panoramic and
extensive, to be enjoyed from many of
these mountain tons, is unique, i'loin
the llastei rock, for instance, near the
town of Schandau (although but about
700 feet over the river) one sees, when
tht weather is clear, the pillars and
spires of Dresden (L'5 miles distant) on
the one side, and the mountain '.ops of
llohemia (about the same distance or
fatther on the other). Helow. hcores of
little villages, hills and dales, wooded
falcpcs and rocky formations, with th
nvcr (separating the whole picture,
spread out, checker-board fashion. The
whole district, so far as it is worth see
ing and visiting, measures but a few
hundred Mjtinre miles, it is true, but
within that small territory the tourist.
to ids amazement, notices more variety
in landscape, in type of population, etc.,
than he would elsewhere in territory 20
times that size.
Beyond the Saxon borders, on Bohe
mian soil, there arc two of the loveliest
nights of all, viz.: Prcbischthor, and
the Edmund's Klamm. The lateer is a
chasm opening into the steep mid per
pendicular rock for the length of ten
miles or so, the bottom being formed by
SAXON SWITZI2UL.ANW.
a pellucid mountain river. Bow boats
ascend this river to the very heart of
this slit into the rocks, and the scenery
changes frequently during the trip.
.Now one passes rocks down which ths
mountain brooklets trickle with me
lodious splash, and then again both
banks are lined with pine trees, verdure,
bushes from which hundreds of smjj
in;j birds pour their songs, for though
men are in close proximity they cannot
harm these birds, and the birds know it
niu.1 are jolly iu proportion. There are
se-eral rapids, but it is easy to avoid
tl.ein at least it is so for the ex
perienced boatmen of the neighbor
liood. To right and left of this long
cleft in the rocks valleys extend, anil
in these there are picturesque mills and
little chalets.
The Prebisehthor, again, is a tremen
dous rock formation some 1.200 feet
high and standing iu the very midst
of a magnificent wilderness of tall trees
and bowlders. The valley from which
it rises skyward looks as if giants had
played marbles with immense bowlders
and had lelt the game unfinished; every
thing is topsy-turvy. But out of it
two enormous pillars of gray, withered
sandstone stick up straight into the
air 1,200 feet high, and on the top
these two pillars have another huiru
slab of rock lying right across them,
thus forming a natural gate. On the
slab of a rock stand a big terrace, a res
taurant nnd numerous other signs of
human civilization, including iron rail
ings, from which the different phases of
the outlook can be enjoyed in safety,
and galleries have been hewn into the
rock itself, facilitating the ascent and
making it even possible for donkeys
and horses to climb up to the height.
Persons who have ever seen the Vo
semite valley, in California, will be
struck with numerous points of resem
blance between that lovely region nnd
this. This is especially the case as to
the peculiar shapes of the rocks and
piomontories. Here in Saxon and Bo
hemian Switzerland, too, all sorts of ex
traordinary forms are noticed faces of
human outline, for instance, are quite
frequently met with, with noses nnd
mouths hundreds of feet iu extent, and
a tall pine or oak for eyebrows. But
while lliese and similar points are of
striking resemblance to the Cali
fornia!! landscape mentioned, this one
of little Saxon Switzerland is much
more idyllic, picturesque and peaceful,
and the vegetation, too, Is more plenti
ful, nnd varied. Lovely flowers, not met
with elsewhere, are found in the numer
ous side valleys, and bird life is plen
tiful and very variegated.

Out of the (irntlttulc of III Heart, Mr.
John .McMillan TellH u llcnorlcr
How He whm Cured of Mont
Terrible Suffer I mr.
From tho Capital, St. John, Kansas.
Your correspondent in nn interview with
Mr. John .McMillan, who resales at St. John,
Knnsas, elicited the following information
concerning the wonderful curative proper
ties contained in Dr. Williams' rink Tills.
Mr. McMillan said:
"In the fall of IS'.H, I AVith another man,
decided upon a hunting expedition into the
Indian Territory. Accordingly, we sinned
south late in the fall. The weather was
damp and cold, and we were compelled to
sleep on the ground with nothing hut a tent
for protection. The exposure, coupled with
the bad water, which in that county con
tains a great quantity of alknh in. 1 gypsum,
caused me to contract a bad case ot kidney
trouble and rheumatism, something 1 had
never known before. After remaining in
the Territory for seveial months and con
tinuing to grow worse, 1 concluded the best
inillg ior Hie 10 oo was iu tunic nume, wiiiuu
1 proceeded to do, but 1 became worse.
"1 tried several remedies without avail.
My nights were spent in sleeplessness and
misery, and 1 became convinced that I must
have help immediately. Some one told me
the benefits they had derived from Dr. Wil
liams' l'ink Pills, and i determined to give
them a trial, which 1 did, and I can truth
fully assert to you that their action was
magical. I'roin the first dose I commenced
improving ami 'twas but a short time until
all pain had left me, and I felt entirely well.
What is more, I have never had a recur
rence of my trouble from the time of my re
covery until the present- tune, l can cer
tainly recommend Dr. Williams' l'ink Bills
ti!. one of the best medicines on the market,
if not the best."
In conclusion, Mr. McMillnn asked us if
we intended making his statement public,
and upon our allirmative reply lie remarked
that he was perfectly satished, as lie had
often contemplated doing so himself, as he
considered it a duty he owed to suifcriiig
humanity.
Dr. Williams' l'ink Pills rontnin, in a
condensed form, all tin dements necessary
to give new life and richness to the blood
and lestore shattered nerves. Thev are an
unfailing specific for such diseases ns loco

The Baltimore and Ohio ollitnds are very
much pleased with certain statistics that
have recently been prepared of the per
formance of freight trains on the Second
division, which handles all the east and
west-bound trailie between Baltimore and
Cuinberalnd. Before the new freight en
gines were pin chased, and the improvements
made in the track in the way of straighten
ing curves and reducing grades, the average
number of cars to tho tram was 28 1-2. Now,
with more powerful and modern motive
power and a better track, the average is '10
ears per train, an increase of '11 per cent.
The average east-bound movement per day
for the first ten davs of August mixh i,'2',
loaded cars. On the Third division, Cum
berland to (Sraftoii, where there are grades
of 12.") feet to the miie, the engines used to
haul 19 1-2 loads to the train. -Now the
overage is 2j 2-IJ loads per ti.im, an increase
of :U per cent. It would certainly appear
that the money spent in improvements on
the B. and O. is being amply justified, and
that the cost of operation is being very ma
terially reduced.

By no means, l'eisons of herculean build
frequently possess a minimum of genuine
vigor, and exhibit less endurance than very
small people. Ileal vigor menus the ability
to digest and sleep well, nnd to perform a
reasonable amount of daily physical and

is because a course of llostetter's Stomach
