AMERICAN ATTRACTIONS. ,TW,-,',,""m"CT''-'-'" l, J 1 - "aatlfmn ComparUoa Betvree h Ueautlea of Swltacrlaad aad Colorado. Switzerland, "the playground of Eu rope," is visited annually by over 5,000 American tourists and invalids. Why? While the Alps have isolated peaks such as Mont Blanc (15,781 feet), and the Matterhorn (14,830 feet), the mean elevation of the highest Alpine chain is from only 8,000 to 9,000 fet. Colo rado possesses more than 120 peaks over 13,500 feet in altitude, of which no fewer than 35 peaks range from 14,000 feet upward. In the whole of Europe, there are not over 12 mountain peaks of note. The highest village in Europe is Avers I'latz in Switzerland (7,500 feet); the highest inhabited point in Europe is the Hospice of St. Bernard in Switzerland (8,200 feet). In Colorado the mining town of Leadville, with 15,000 inhabitants, is 10,200 feet above sea level: other mining camps are. still higher and- some gold and silver mines are worked at an altitude of over 12.000 feet. The highest wagon road in Europe is said to be the Stelvio road in Switzerland (9,170 feet). In Colorado the railroads cross the crest of the continent nt Fremont Pass (11,328 feet), Marshall Fass (10,852 feet) and Tennessee Fuss (10,433). Switzerland does not possess, even in the famous St. Gothard line, any railroad en-' gineering surpassing, if equaling, these. There are wagon roads over numerous passes in Colorado ranging from 12,000 feet upwards, the highest being Mosquito Fass (13,700 feet). In Switzerland the cog-railroad from Vitznuu to the summit of the Kigi Kulm (5,9!)0 feet) has n length of four mid a half miles, in which the ascent is 4,072 feet. In Colorad' 'he cograil road from Manitou to the summit of Tike's Feak (14,147 feet) has a length of eight and three-quarters miles, in which the ascent is 8,100 feet, or an average of 840 feet per mile, the maxi mum grade being 1,320 feet. One class of Switzerland's finest scenery is along the Via Mala, the Schyn, Pass and Urnerloch. In Colo rado, the Canon of the Arkansas with the iioyal Gorge, the Black Canon of the Gunnison, the Canon of the Itio de las Animas, the Canon of the Grand river, and others, nre all much longer, quite as grand as and more varied in chracter than the best passes in Switzerland. The walls of th Canons of the Grand river, the Gunnison and the Arkansas rise to a sheer height of more than 2,000 feet. As Colorado can be reached by at least one railroad the Burlington in one night from either Chicago or St. Louis, it is hard to understand why more Americans do not travel west instead of east in search of health and pleasure. Scotch Klahcrnirn Caddies. At. certain seasons in Scotland, when the fishing is not very brisk, the fishermen act as caddies and nre eas ily recognized by their costumea woolen jersey and trousers braced up to the armpits. One of these was asked his name by the gentleman for whom he was carrying, and the reply was: "Weet, sir, hereabouts they maistly ea me 'Breeks,' but ma 'maiden name is Broon." This is only equaled by the caddie who was asked who such and such a person was, and replied: "I no rightly ken his name, but he's a major something; nt least he's not a real major, but he married a major's widow and took the title." Scottish American. Doctor "Mr. Bitf, aren't you going to tA't'tie my bill?" Mr. Biff "Why, yes, doctor; you've been, eight years piling It up on me, and I feel entitled to eight years, to pay It in."

"Oh, my!" she taid; 'Excelsior is out of date long ago. Braided wire is the favorite now." As no one knew who wrote Braided Wire, the conversation went back to "Quo Vadia." Baltimore American. . ..
