RAILROAD TO TAP BOLIVIA. Chill ! About to Build a Line 2,093 Miles Lonjr. Consul Mnnafleld , Valparaiso , Chili , announces that tlie government of that country proposes to construct a rail way through the provinces of Tocna and Arica into Bolivia. The latter country is provided with poor facili ties for getting about and the impres sion is strong that if Chili's plans of constructing some 2,61) . " ) miles of road are carried out a great commercial revolution will be effected. RegardIng - Ing the present conditions , Mr. Mans field speaks as follows : Road-making in Bolivia , owing to the peculiar configuration of the coun try , has many difficulties. The most Important roads have a total length of 2,297 kilometers (1,420 ( miles ) . In the loftiest parts of the Andes the highways - ways are little more than goat paths , which have been cut by Indians for the traflic of their beasts of burden. Along these mountain paths droves oi mules , donkeys and llamas are con tinually going and coming , carrying from the interior tropical fruits , cocoa , yungas , coffee , etc. , and taking back from La Paz and other towns along the routes flour , groceries , alcohol , etc. The internal trade carried on in this manner will be largely increased once the country is tapped with railways.

INTELLlGENTWOlViEN PREPARE Dangers and Pain of This Critical Period Avoided by the Use of Lydia B. Pink , liana's Vegetable Compound. How many wo men realize that the most critical period in a wo man's existence is the change of life , and that the anxiety felt "by women as this time draws near is not without reason ? If her system is in a deranged condi tion , or she is predisposed to apoplexy or congestion of any organ , it is at this time likely to become active and , with a. host of nervous irritations , make life a burden. At this time , also , cancers and tumors are more liable to begin their destruc tive work. Such warning symptoms as a sense of suffocation , hot flashes , diz ziness , headache , dread of impending- evil , sounds in the ears , timidity , pal pitation of the heart , sparks before the eyes , irregularities , constipation , varia ble appetite , weakness and inquietude are promptly heeded by intelligent women who are approaching- period of life when woman's great change may be expected. We believe Lydia B. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound is the world's great est remedy for women at this trying period. Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound invigorates and strengthens the female organism , and builds up the weakened nervous system as no other , medicine can. ; Mrs. A. E. G. Hyland , of Chester- town , Md. , in a letter to Mrs. Pink- ham , says : , Dear Mrs. Pinkham : " I had been suffering with a displacement for years and was passing through the change of life. I had a good deal of soreness , dizzy spells , headaches , and was very nervous. I wrote you for advice and commenced treat ment with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as you directed , and I am happy to say that all those distressing symptoms left me , and I have passed safely through the change of life a well woman. " . For special advice regarding this im portant period women are invited to write to Mrs. Pinkham , Lynn , Mass She is daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years has been advising sick women free of charge. Her advice is free and always rielpful to ailing women. Beverldjje Is Glad Ho lianghed. "The direction of my career wan completely changed , " said United , States Senator Albert J. Beveridge to the writer , "by a careless laugh. When I was a youth In Illinois I heard that the Congressman from our district intended to hold HQ examina tion to determine what young man he should appoint to West Point. I pitched in and studied hard for that examination , and found it easy when I came to take it. Most of the other fellows seemed to be still struggling with it when I had finished , and I was so confident that 1 had made few mistakes that I was in a pretty cheer ful frame of mind. This Is why I laughed when one of the strugglers asked a rather foolish question of the professor in charge. The latter evi dently felt that the dignity of the oc casion had been trifled with , for he scored one per cent against me. When the papers came to be corrected this loss caused me to fall one-fifth of one per cent below the boy who stood highest on the list. He is a captain in the army now , where I suppose I should be had it not been for that laugh. I believe in the power of cheerfulness. Looking back , I am rather glnd that 1 laughed.

CARL GCHURZ. XInd Gafne : ! tin IIonorabTw Place AntonOnr Gretit 3Icii. After having litijrerefi between life and deth with : i complication of dis eases for more thin u yceX Carl Schurz. the famous publicist , editor and statesman'passed away at his home in New York City. * From a poor immigrant , landing in luls country when he was 23 years old. Carl Schurz worked his way upward tea a position in the foremost ranks of pub lic life. The story of this immigrant boy reads more like a volume of juven ile fiction , v/ith the hero always good and true and struggling for high ideals , Hum a recital of incidents which make up the career of the great publicist As statesman , soldier , editor and thinker. Mr. Schurz held the respect of the best element of this country , and many of those who fought side by side with him in the many battles for civic righteous ness in which he took a leading part be lieve it impossible for the country to measure the full value of his services to it The life of Schurz was full of ad venture and interesting details. He was born at Liblar , near Cologne , Prus sia , on March 2 , 1829. He was edu cated at the Gymnasium of Cologne and subsequently at the University of Bonn , which he entered in 1S4G. Gottfried Kinkel , poet philosopher and patriot , who had married Carl Schurz's cousin , was professor of rhetorics in the university. After the revolution of 1S-1S had broken out Kin kel headed an insurrection , was cap tured and condemned to imprisonment for twenty years. Schurz was engaged in the defense of Rnstadt , a town and fortress iu Baden , when it was cap tured. He hid in a shed for three days and finally escaped through a sewer and made his way to Switzerland and thence to Paris. There , disguised as an organ grinder , he effected the rescue of Kiukel , who accompanied him to England. Schurz supported himself in London for a while , teaching German and writJfcg letters to German news papers , before he came to the United States in 1852. - When Schurz landed in New York he could neither speak nor write the En glish language , and the political ban ners of Pierce and Scott which spanned Broadway were a sore puzzle to him. Yet three years afterward he was ad mitted to the bar in Jefferson , Wis. . and immediately entered the struggle against the aggressions of slavery , for which the Republican party was rap idly organizing. Schurz worked mainly through the Germans of the Northwest , and five years after landing in this country the immigrant boy was nom inated for Lieutenant Governor of Wis consin and came within 200 votes of being elected. In 1858 Schurz took an active part In the Lincoln-Douglas campaign in Illi- CARL GCHURZ. nois , and it was during this that he formed a friendship with Lincoln which was ended only by the death of the President In 1859 Schurz went to Bos ton , where he made an address on True Americanism , which was commented on all over the country. One reading the speech would find it hard to believe that it was written by a man who sev en years before could not speak En glish. A year after making this address Mr. Schurz was elected chairman of the Re publican national convention in Chicago cage , and supported the nomination of Mr. Seward to the last After the convention - | vention he spoke in various States of | the Union , and on the accession of Abraham Lincoln to the presidency Mr. Schurz was appointed minister to Spain. He reached Madrid in July , ' but after he realized how great a strug gle the Civil War was to be he was recalled at his own request In Decem ber he was appointed a brigadier gen eral of volunteers. Mr. Scliurz com manded a division of the Eleventh Corps under Howard , fought with Fre mont and Sigel , and ended his service under Sherman in North Carolina. After the war Mr. Schurz was ap pointed a special commissioner to re port on the condition of the seaboard and gulf states , and after that he be came a special correspondent of the New York Tribune. In 1SGG he became editor of the Detroit Post and a year * later he moved to St Louis , where he purchased an interest in the Westliche Post of which he took charge. In I860 Mr. Schurz was elected United States Senator from Missouri. He found himself very soon forced to oppose the tendencies developed by the strenuous war period in the party to which tie had been warmly devoted , and he threw aside the party yoke by opposing the plans of President Grant The first open difference came with the submission to the Senate of the treaty for the annexat'Ion of Santo Domingo , which he fought with all his energy. In the Liberal Republican movement he took a proir.iriwii purt and was chairman of the Cincinnati convention which nominated Horace Grealcy. He was actively engaged in the Ohio can vass , supporting the election of Hayes as Governor on a hard money plat form , and he also tool : an active part in the presidential campaign which re sulted in the election of Hayes. In 1S77 he was appointed to a seat in tke cab inet It was while Secretary of the In terior that Mr. Schurz put iuto opera tion the principles and methods of civil service reform , seven years before their * adoption by law. Although Mr. Schurz held no public office after his retirement from 'the cab inet his influence in public affairs was felt almost to the end of his life. He was a powerful antagonist of machine politics , and because of his strong fol lowing his co-operation In all reform movements was welcomed. DOWAGER EMPRESS MAY LEAVE RUSSIA. The Dowager Empress of Russia la said to have decided to leave that coun try forever.

Her sister , Queen Alexandra , of England , it is said , is responsible for this change and the Dowager Express expects to spend her summers in Den mark with her brother , King Frederick , and her winters in England. Ministerial Courtesies. When the Rev. Frank Ritchie of Sv Ignatius' Church in New York was rec tor of the Church of the Ascension in Chicago , he was most popular with his bishop because of his extremely high church ritualism and was known as the "black sheep of the diocese. " At a general gathering of the clergy , Fath er Ritchie was paired off with the only colored rector in the bishop's jurisdic tion. The clerical wits joked about it "The two black sheep of the diocese walked together , " remarked one of them. The colored brother , a broad churchman , happened to overhear the remark- "I should like to know what I have done ? " he demanded with rancor. It was not long afterward that Fath er Ritchie went to preach in this same colored rector's church , and he was In troduced in this manner : "Father Ritchie will preach this even ing. Before the sermon we will sing the hymn beginning : 'My soul , be on thy guard. ' " Everybody's Magazine. Wliy He Didn't Join Them. It was at a down East church socia ble , says the Lewiston Journal , that one of the young men of the society was seated at a table enjoying ice cream and cake with his best girl , who was a member of the church choir. There was a vacant seat at their ta ble , and , as the minister passed near , the young man beckoned to him and said with a smile , "Won't you join us ? " The pastor was taken by surprise , but reaching into his pocket , brought forth his "good book" and began readIng - Ing in a loud voice the marriage cere mony. It was some minutes later be fore the affair was satisfactorily ex plained , and the wedding did not take place that evening , but the young mail will be more careful what he says in the future.

He wns startled when the dilapidated schooner was pointed out to him , and , turning to the police officer said , "Guess I'll take the sixty days in-jail. " LewIston - Iston Journal.

They usually have hard pulling to get their fingers free. A big mussel can bite hard. Were it not that the edge of the shell , in big specimens , is smooth and thick , a boy might get his fingers cut to the bone.
