A Historic Bridge.

One of the most ancient bridges in the
world is that over the main at Frank
fort, which Goethe called the only
structure of importance in that city. 1t
was erected in 1912, on the site of a
much earlier structure. Its immediate
predecessor, built in 1906, was almost
entirely destroyed during a violent
flood, and rebuilt by funds raised by the
sale OF church indulgences. The build
ing of bridges was then considered re-
ligious work, because they enabled
pilgrims the better to reach their desti-
nations. 1t was from the central arch
of the bridge that criminals were drown
ed, and hence, too, the bodies of suicides
were cast into the river. The last exc
cution by drowning was in 1913. There
is story of an Anglo-Saxon tourist who,
lounging on the renowned bridge, asked
resident the name of the most conspic-
uous statue on it. Charlemagne, was
the reply pronounced Charley Maine.
" All, perhaps the river, too, takes its
name from him." was the astounding
reioinder

Some Valuable Ancient Tablets.

The department of oriental antiquities
OF the British museum has, according to
the London Academy, just obtained by
purchase some interesting cuneiform in
scrlptlons In a series of small contract
tablets, dated in the reign of Mithri-
dates H., or Artabanus H., one of the
Arsaclan kings of Babylon. These Ia
Diets are of very great Importance, on
account of their being dated with the
dual system of both the Seleucide and
the Arsacian efas, and thus fixing by
indisputable authority the starting
points of both these epochs. Of the
seven tablets obtained, there are three
that bear the double calculation of dates,
the earliest being =" Month sebat (11)
18th day in the 154th year, which equals
the 2lSth year Of Arsaka, King of
hlngs." There are also in the series two
in the 155th or 219th year of Arsaka,
and four which bear only the date of the
years reckoned from the revolt of the Sc
leucide. The revolt of the Seleueidse
took place in B. G. 312, and by these tab
lets we find that eighty-four years after,
or IN B. G. 223, the revolt of Arsaces took
place, and the Arsacian epoch COM
menced. The lesser date, therefore,
l55th year, will give us the year B. G.
%, which falls in the reign of Artadan-
us H., or Mithridates H., the sixth of
the Arsaces. These tablets, with the ex-
ception of one dated in the reign of Pc
cortts, which is in the museum at Zurich,
are the latest examples of euneiform
writing known. They are contract-ta-
bles relating to loans of money, and
their material is very coarse and the
writidg careless. 1t is also to be noticed
that, with very few exceptions the con-
tracing parties are designated by Semit-
ic names, indicating, apparently, that
this mode of record was confined almost
solely to the conservative Semitic mer-
chants of Babylon.

So No Mustard y

Charles Matthews once entering a
cofee-room, found its sole tenant a COM
mercial gentleman, earnestly engaged on
a round of cold beef. Matthews took up
a newspaper, occasionally glancing from
the paper to the beef, and from the beef
to the man; then turning the paper in
side out, addressed the gentleman in a
tone of ill-disguised indignation: 81
beg your pardon, sir, but [ don't think
you are aware that you haveno mustard"
The person addressed looked up with ev-
ident surprise. Matthews peeped round
the edge of his paper and finding that
his hint not acted upon, concluded that
the man was deaf. So, raising his voice,
he bawled out, with syllable precision
" Are-you aware -that-you-
have been - eating - boiled beef =
without-mustard?" A stiff bow, and
no reply. Once more Matthews affected
to read, but at last, seeing the mans
violation of good taste, he jumped up,
snatched the mustard-pot, banged it on
the table under the defaulter's nose, and
shouted out: "Confound it, sir, you
shall take mustard!" He then slapped
his hat on his head and ordered the
waiter to show him into private room,
vowing that he had never met with such
a savage

Harvards on a Lark.

This summer a party OF Harvard
students were footingit along the Rhine
and found by inquiring, after long
days tramp, they had five miles more
to do before they should reach the
village where they wished to spend the
night.
Five miles is long distance after
walking all day, and so the travellers
thought and said as they rested by the
roadside. An itinerant band passed that
way, brass band, not Gilmore's-and
a German-American congress was held
Congresses are the fashion this summer,
and it was agreed for a consideration the
band should play for the Harvard boys
the rest of the journey. Away went the
band at quickstep, and the cortege fol
lowing, and as they passed through
hamlets and villages the Germans looked
and wondered, and to this day they are
probably wondering who those four dis
tin yuished, dusty young men could have
ben who marched through their villages
escorted by sixteen men playing on brass
instruments.

Snow-Bound in August.

The risks of glacier expeditions are de-
scribed by correspondent of the London
Times, who writes from Pontresina, in
the Engadine. Seton Karr with two
guides set out from that place on the
first Thursday in August, to spend the
night in the new shelter hut of the Swiss
Alpine club at Boval, and then to ascend
the Fiz Bernina. A second party occu-
pied the hut with them, and accompa-
MED them the next morning to the
Festung, where the paths separated.
Some hours afterward a snowstorm sud-
denly overlook both, although the
weather had been fine and the sky
almost cloudless After a painful and
most difficult walk the second party re-
turned safely to Pontresina in the even
ing. Karr and his guides gained the
summit of the Bernina at $3.50 A. NJ,
when they were surrounded by thick
clouds and overtaken by storm, which
lasted till the evening of the following
day. However, after a short rest they
began the descent, and by II o'clock had
safely reached the great Firnkessel. On
ward they proceeded in the now raging
snow-storm until they had gained the
Grasta Gussa. Darkness had Overtaken
them, and further progress was impossi-
BILE. At dawn fresh and Intellectual
efforts were made to escape. About
noon they contrived by means of rope
to let themselves down a considerable
height, falling upon the soft snow, and
continued their perilous journey until
9 P. NJ, little thinking they were within
reach of the Rayalhutte where SuccOr
was awaiting them; for there their cries
had been heard. Joyful greetings were
exchanged, and food and shelter was
soon provided. None of the party sus
tanned any serious injury, although the
Englishmen narrowly escaped the effects
of frost bite.

Prompt Reform of Bodily Evils.

The prompt reform of those bodily
evils, enfeebled digestion, incomplete as
sanitation, inactivity of the liver, kidneys
and bladder, as well as of the nervous
symptoms which these ailments are espec-
tally prone to beget, is always accomplished
by the use of HOstetter's Stomach Bitters, a
medicine accredited by physicians, pro-
nounced pure by analysis, and eminently
wholesome and agreeable. Surely such a
restorative is preferable to unpalatable and
indigestible mineral drugs and unsanction-
ed nostrums. The nation at large assuredly
thinks so, Judging by the unprecedented de-
mand for the article from Maine to the Pa
cifc, a demand now supplemented by i'm
mense orders for it received from tropical
America, Mexico, the British and Spanish
Colonial possessions, and elsewhere. Both
at home and abroad it is recognized as a
standing remedy and preventive, the de-
cisiveness of its effects recommending it
everywhere.
