WINGED Of this fact, and this peace
which desire to see durable, which
| am endeavoring to render fruitful,
will be all the more assured if the
army charged to maintain it is, in
point of quality, the first among all
armies. This peace which I desire,
not from weakness, for we are not
weak but because it is necessary
for all, is the means by which I
hope, in the course Of very few
years, to restore France to that rank
in the world from which she may
have momentarily fallen, but OF
which no human power can ever
permanently deprive her.

CHINESE SUSPENSION Bird
aa 5ra GEES.

The most remarkable evidence of
the mechanical science and skill of
the Chinese so far back as 1000
years ago, is to be found in their
suspended bridges, the invention of
which is assigned to the Han dynas-
ty. According to the concurrent
testimony of all their historical and
geographical writer's, Sangle.ng, the
commander of the army under Baout-
500, the first of the bans, undertook
and completed the formation of roads
through the mountainous province
of Shense, to the west of the capital.
Hitherto its lofty hills and deep val
leys had rendered the communica-
ton difficult and circuitous. With
a body of one hundred thousand la
borers he cut passages over the
mountains, throwing the removed
soil into valleys, and where this was
not sufficient to raise the road to the
required height, he constructed
bridges which rested on the pillars
or abutments. In another place he
conceived and accomplished the dar-
ing project of suspending a bridge
from one mountain to another, across
a deep chasm. These bridges,
which nero called by the Chinese
writer's, very appropriately, flying
bridges. and represented to be nu-
merous at the present day, are some
times so high that they cannot be
traversed without alarm. One still
existing in Shense, stretches four
hundred feet from mountain to
mountain, over a chasm of five hun
dred feet. Most Of these flying
bridges are SO wide that four horse
men can ride on them abreast, and
ballustrades are placed on each side
to protect travellers. 1t is by no
means improbable (as M. Panther
suggests) that, as the missionaries
to China made known the fact more
than a century ago, that the Chinese
he'd suspended bridges, that the
ideas may have been taken from
thence for similar construction by
European engineers.

nj. THEIRS AND HIS DRESS.
ING-GOWN

Not many days ago M. Theirs re-
ceived from his Paris tailor hand
some dressing-gown. When the
parcel was handed to the President
there were three women present !:
his wife, his sister-in law, aud a
friend Of theirs. The President
tried it on, and found only one fault
with it, namely, that it was some
what too long, and suggested that it
was fault which might be easily
remedied at home, without sending
it back to the tailor. To this the
women assented. Nine. Theirs
wished to surprise hel husband, and
contrived during the course of the
evening to shorten the dressing
gown and lay it back in It's place un-
perceived. In her hurry to get it
done quickly she did not notice that
her sister had been beforehand with
her, and had already completed the
task. Later on in the evening the
friend stole away from the company,
and carried out the idea she had
planned in her own mind of being
the one who should perform this
pleasing duty. Next morning NJ.
Theirs called for his dressing gown,
and all three women chimed in,
"It's quite ready" 1t was brou ght
and tried on once more, but this time
the President had not to complain Of
undue length, as it resembled q
shooting-coat more than dressing
gown in its shrunk proportions.

THE WEALTH OF ALASKA

time. In valuable oils there are the
whale, walrus, seal and other de-
scriptions for manufacturing and lu-
bricating purposes, to say nothing
of the ''bar's grease" essential to
every we'll furnished toilet, and the
cod-llVer oil which furnishes con-
sumptives with new pair Of lungs
yearly. The fur-bearing animals Of
Alaska comprise both the land and
sea otter, the walrus, bear, wolf,
deer, fox, martin, mink, muskrat,
nearly every kind of seal-in short
all the desirable and beautiful spe

INDIAN SUMMER.

The rains that have fallen, so
Joyous In their gloom to some and
so desolate to others; the grayer
tone OF the skies, the sere leaves.
denuded trees, dried leaves, and
whlstll1ng winds are the gateway
through which "the glory of the
American year-its Indian summer
IS entered. In spite of the mathe-
NAUTICAL calculations of the almanac
men Indian summer is movable
feast. 1t comes with the frost and
before the snow. It comes when
the corntelds are all harvested, and
while the boys are gathering the la
test glories of the orchard: when
Maud with Marion are searching for
the last flowers and the most bril-
liant leaves among all with which
the American fall decorates Ameri-
can forests before they are surrender
ed to winter. It comes when fur
naces are lighted in town, and plans
LAID Tor the indoor enjoyments of
coming months.
Other countries have their season
able superiorities. Nothing can be
finer than the lush gresnery of per-
tect summer day in England; when
all Is repose and the atmosphere and
the scenery seems freighted with
wealth. The sudden burst of spring,
garnlshed with flowers and all but de-
veloped to summer at it's very birth
In ltaly,is fine. A winter day in
Holland has been glorifed by both

tive as the picture. For then out
door work is done for the year, and
crowded barns and bursting granar-
les; rspopulated stables and reflled
LIGHTHOUSES; the glow of evening win
dows and the reunion of separated
families show that hone and social
lite are reborn. We are on the edge
of this season, and tits as fugitive as
it is charming.

WONDERFUL KINDNESS OF
A DOG.

On Thursday afternoon and Fri
day morning, says the Cleveland
Herald, of Monday, we chronicled
the fact that a little boy seven years
old, who had wandered away from
his home on Chatham street. West
Side, and become lost, was found by
policeman on Thursday morning
crouchsd in the corner of q yard,
at the corner Of Bank and Lake
streets, asleep and half frozen, for
the weather was quite cold. To
this should now be added the fact
that the boy, finding himself unable
to make his way home, began to
cry, and while thus engaged, a
large dog, apparently cross between
the hound and shepherd breeds,
which the by had never seen be-
fore, came along, and, approaching
the boys dirtress, took up posi-
ton close to the boy, and remained
on guard before him, lending the
warmth of his shaggy covering to
keep comfortable the feet and limbs
of his human ward. He was in
downright earnest in his self-impos-
ed guardianship, for when the officer
attempted to arouse the little sleeper
and take him to the station for bet
ter security, the dog manifested a
disposition to resist any interference
with his charge, and it required con
siderable coaxing on the part of the
patrolman to induce compliance on
the pat of the canine constable.
He finally conceded the point, how
ever, and suffered the little wander
er to be led to the Central station,
where he was given chance to get
good nap on lounge in. warm
room. But the dog did not desert
him even here, seeming to think the
boy might require further attention,
and he followed on to the station,
stole quietly into the room where he
was taken, stretched himself on the
floor beside the couch of his little
companion, and when the Sergeant
went thither at 7 o'clock in the morn
ing, to look after the little fellow,
the dog manifested no little anger at
the intrusion, and stuck by the boy
with fidelity as devoted as it was
wonderful. The little fellow was
then taken to the West Side station
on Detroit street, the dog still at
tending him, and taking up posi-
tion at his feet as soon as they reach
ed there, and viewing all corners
with the eye of jealous and determin-
ed guardianship. What became o.
the two after this, beyond the fac
that the boy was restored to his
home, we know not, but the peculi-
ar and wonderful conduct of that doc
certainly deserves the mention and
commentator we here make of it.
