Beauty of Chinese Bridges,

Some of the bridges in China are of
extraordinary beauty and magnifcence.
There is one near Pekin built entirely
of white marble, deliberately ornament
ed. Others are found over the canals of
still greater magnifcence and with a
grand triumphal arch at each end; and
some, instead of being built with arches,
are fiat from one side of the canal to the
other, marble flags CT great length be-
ing laid on piers so narrow and airy that
the bridge looks as if it were suspended
IN the air. From the amazing facilities
afforded by the numerous canals for
transportation of goods by water, these
bridges do not require to be built of
great strength, for only foot passengers
use them, which is the reason they are
OF such an elegant and fanciful con-
struction. These bridges are built with
number of arches, the central arch be-
ing about forty feet wide, and high
enough for vessels to pass without
striking their masts The great eleva-
ton of these bridges renders steps neces-
sary. They resemble, in this respect,
the old bridges of Venice, ON which you
ascend by steps on one side, and de-
scend on the other in the same way.
Chain bridges were not made in this
country for more than eighteen centu-
ries after they were known in China.

A New Kind of Evidence.

Through the looking glass" is, says
the Hour, delightful world of fancy.
where Uice UersG reigns supreme, to
which both young and old have some
time been introduced, but it is not at
first sight promising source of evil
dence upon which to convict thief
Such, however, seems to have been the
case at the Devon session last week.
when Alfred Mayne was put on trial for
embezzling some ESQ from a well-known
firm of florists near Exeter. The pris-
oner was employed by them to receive
money from their customers, and he re-
ceived the sum in question in payment
of an account for it. He was supplied
with forms of receipts having counter
foils, and the receipt in his handwriting
was produced in court, but no counter
foil to correspond was discoverable in
the book. At the back, however, of the
counterfeit of the receipt, which would
come next in date, appeared certain let
tiers, which were evidently produced by
| the counterfeit which had been next to
it, pressing upon it when wet with ink.
Itwas suggested that these letters formed
the name of the clergyman to whom the
receipt was given. The chairman of the
bench. Sir Stafford Northcote, ordered q
looking glass to be brought into court,
and, surely enough, when the writing was
held up to the glass the name was clearly
legible, by the same process as that en-
ployed by Alice to read the story of the
Jabberwock." The looking glass was
then handed round to the jury. The
foreman of the jury, we are told, being
naturally rather puzzled at this new in,
strument for the detection of crime, made
some Intellectual attempts to carry the
invention into effect, by presenting the
'back of the book to the glass, ard ther
gazing intently at the book itself; but
finally, he and his fellows were convinced
that the impression reproduced the
name required, SO that the prisoner was
convicted and sentenced to four months
imprisonment, with hard labor.

How the Russian Empress Travels.

In the matter of putting on STYLE"
the royal family of Russia outshines any
royal family in the world. The Empress
or Czarina has for some time been So
iourning at Naples. A foreign paper
gives the following account of the way
she Travelled thither from st. Petersburg:
The train consisted of fifteen carriages.
eight of which form suit of apartments
The imperial family occupied three of
them as bedrooms, another served for
the suit, and three more for the store
rooms and servants rooms. The saloon
carriage is splendid, all lined with Grim
son satin, and painted outside with the
Russian arms. The imperial carriages
are connected by means of alright pas
sages, and the springs are formed of
steel and India rubber, SO as to render
all shocks insensible. The temperature
of each carriage can be regulated by
touching pegs communicating with cal
critic apparatus. In the grand saloon
there is combined the furniture of a
drawing anda dining-room, besides
six work-tables, one for the Empress,
one for her daughter, and the other
four for her ladies of honor. Two loco
motives draw the train, and third ma
chine sends heated tubes to the car
riages. In the matter of sending let
tiers the Empress does not correspond
with the Emperor by the postoffice. A
service of couriers has been established
between Sorrento and ST. Petersburg,
composed of eighteen persons, who are
continually en- route between the two
places. The immediate friends of hen
Majesty write to Russia like other peo-
pie, that is to say, through the oblging
and economic medium of the Commander
Barbavara. But no letter of the Czarina
is ever thrown into the box, or sent tc
the Russian Legation every time the
Empress writes, as she does nearly every
day, courier starts with packet, which
he is instructed to deliver into the hands
of the Gar himself.

Go West

The Cincinnati Gazette prints tabu-
lar and practical statement showing the
advantages of living, SO far as cheap
ness is concerned, in the West instead
of the East, which will commend itself
to the careful attention of mechanics
and laboring men generally. One or
two instances will suffice In Cincin-
natl, last month, beef, rib roast, per
pound, was 124@15c sirloin steak, $50
20c.; corned beef, 9@1Oc. At Boston
the prices of the same articles were as
follows : Beef, roast rib, 18@25c. /;
sirloin steak, 28@33c.; corned beef, 10
12c., and other articles in proportion.
In the matter of clothing there is slight
advantage in favor of the East All
things considered, wages being higher,
and the demand for labor greater, the
advantages of the West to men of
moderate means cannot be overesti-
mated.

Capt. Jack in His Own Defense.

In his interview with Gen. Davis.
Capt. Jack entered into long and min
ute statement of his conduct during the
recent trouble, and defended himself
from the chs rge of having killed Gen.
Candy, laying the blame all on Allen
David, the Chief of the Klamath In
dams. Among other things, he said ::
"Allen David was always pushing me
up. The Klamath chiefs said the same.

How a Horse Reasons.

A correspondent of Our Dumb Ani-
mails writes ''For the last two years

over the same road About one mile
from my house are two roads-one lead
ing to the church, the other leading to
the depot. Now six days in the week

church. At the point where the roads
separate give my mare her head, leav-
ing her free to make her choice and on
week days she will go straight to the
depot; on Sunday she goes, of her own
free will, to the church. I never knew
her to fail me yet. It puzzled me for a
long time to learn how she should know
any difference in days; and have come
to the conclusion that she reasons by
facts-facts connected with every day
life. On weeks days I start from my
stable in a two-wheel carriage on Sun
days start from my house in a carry

in time, place and carriage and from
these facts she must be guided in her
choice of roads.

A Strange Story from Rome.

The New York Graphic publishes an
extract from a private letter, dated
Rome, May Is, which tells rumor,
prevalent in that city, that Plus TX.
died some days previous, and that his
place is filed by an old and astute priest
name Abbate Minati. His story goes
that when the news of the Pope's fatal
illness was published, cardinals has
tened to the Vatican to take counsel to-
gether upon the condition of affairs.
They found the situation an exceedingly
critical one for the Church. It seemed
to them that nothing could have been
more inopportune than the death of the
Pope, and the election of his successor
at this moment. They determined upon
a stroke of the most daring and aston
ishing character. There was priest of
the order of Benedictines, Abbate Mi
natl, who bore a striking resemblance to
Plus X. Accordingly, they determined
that Father Minati, in the event of the
Pope's death, should enact the part of
Peters successor. The Pope died, but
instead of their announcing this fact to
the people by bulletins from the Vati-
can, they began to inform the outside
world that the Holy Father was getting
better, and finally that he was quite well
again, the fact being that the remains
of Plus TX. were hidden away in someof
the secret recesses of the Vatican Gel
lars, and that Abbate Minati quietly
stepped into his place. To-day the
Head of the Church is, in plain terms,
dummy, wearing the form and keep
ing up the traditions of Plus X, even
| to the extent of taking a pinch of snuff
during mass, which the amiable old
man, now dead, always did. Of course
great care will be taken that this pro-
pontiff exercises none of the functions of
real infalhbllity. He will receive depu-
tations, smile affably, utter compliments
in Latin, take walk now and then in
the Vatican gardens, and perform such
of the sacred ceremonies as are indis-
pensable, but anything beyond that he
will not do. We shall not have any
more bulls, Nominations, definitions,
enclyclicals, or syllabuses, for the pres

The POlaris Expedition.

Prof. Baird, of the Smithsonian In
stitute, who has been aiding in the ex-
animation of the Polaris survivors, ex-
presses the opinion that the results to
science already secured fully justify the
expedition, even if the records of the
Polaris have not been preserved The
advances in geographical knowledge and
other questions of interest pertaining
to arctic matters are far more valuable
than those of the other expeditions
which have been exulted over as re-
markable successes. Esquimaux Joe
has brought back the official records
made by Capt. Hall of his sledge jour-
ney, and though Mr.. Myers papers
were lost, he is able from memoranda to
construct a correct map of the new dis
coveries. The story that Hall was poi

The Danbury Nea0s man, who is tray
cling, thus describes profane scene at
Mississippi landing All was hustle
at the dock when got there. The boat
was taking on its freight, and about 80
lively negroes and one very excited and
awfully profane white man were doing
the business. The white man was a
study. He was the mate of the vessel,
and what he didn't know about rhetoric
could be held on the point of knife
blade by a nervous man. The thirty
negroes had all they could well attend to
to keep up with his new oaths and roll
on the casks. Without cessation they
bobbed from the boat to the shore. and
from the shore back to the boat. and all
the while that Mississippi elocutionist
danced around and swore. When I got
on the boat [ sat down on my baggage
and watched that man. Being a resi-
dent of New England thought knew
something of wickedness, but [ was
mistaken. The negroes were uniformly
dressed In pants, shirt and hat. Some
of the hats were ornamented with differ
ent colored ribbons ; others again con-
tanned but simple brass plate-the
trademark of a retired fruit can. Beauty
unadorned is adorned the most. They
were driven like sheep, first to the shore,
then back to the boat. The least hest
tation, the slightest misstep, was noted
by the orator and promptly Incorporated
into his discourse He couldn't have
been more familiar were they his own
fathers, which it is not likely they were.
After getting through at the dock the
boat moved up to the coal yard. The
coal was brought on in boxes with
handles at each end Each box con-
tanned two and half bushels, and was
carried by two men. Six hundred bush
els were thus taken on. The same
amount OF hustle and vehemence occur
red in this transaction. The men sweat
Like April, and appeared to be ready to
drop at every trip, but the mate hurled
tonics at them and kept them up. When
his throat got tired he used his boot,
and used it in that whole-soled way pc
cuiar to the Mississippi boatmen. The
negroes receive 81 a day and their
victuals. I should think they would &c

The ROthSchiIdS.

The rise of the great house of Roths-
child belongs to the eighteenth century.
Meyer Anselm, Jew, was born in 1743,
and was established as meney-lender,
ETC., in Frankfort, in 1772. From his
poor shop, bearing the sign of the red
shield, he acquired the name Roths-
child. He found good friend in Will
liam Landgrave, of Hesse and when
the Landgrave, in 1906, had to flee
from Napoleon, he intrusted the banker
with about 9250, 900 to take care of. The
careful Jew traded with this so that,
in 1872, when he died, he left about a
million sterling to six sons, Anselm, Sol
ONION, Nathan, Meyer, Charles and
James. Knowing the truth of the old
motto, Union is strength, he charged
his sons that they should conduct their
financial operations together. The third
son, Nathan, was the cleverest of the
family, and had settled in England,
coming to Manchester in 1897, and Lon
don in 1903. Twelve years after we see
him at Waterloo, watching the battle,
and posting TO England as soon as he
knew the issue, and spreading every
where the defeat of the English. The
clever but Inscriptions speculator thus
depressed the funds, and his agents
were enabled to buy at cheap rate
and it is said that he made a million by
this transaction. He died in 1886 but
the real amount of his wealth never

A ToUGH YARN-We do our very
best to believe all the queer stories that
we find, for we could not conscientious
~ present them to our readers unless we
believed them to be true, but here is
one that, we caution the public, seems
to us little doubtful We will not say
it is lie, but it is improbable. A horse
in st. Paul, Mimi, drank beer till he
was in beastly state of intoxication.
His owner, knowing that his previous
habits were exemplary, thought he was
dead, and skinned him. Next morning
a CHASTITY steed, without hide or hair,
was found grazing on the public COIL
mon, and skillful veterinary surgeon
is engaged in planting his superfcies
with hair from neighboring tannery.
