The Brooklyn bridge when finished will be
about the boldest undertaking in the way OF
bridge structure ever completed. 1t Will
cost thirteen and half million of dollars.
Its central span across the East river, from
tower to tower, is 1885 feet long, 1t Is
nearly 600 feet greater than the now widest
span-that of the bridge of Cincinnati
across the Ohio. 1t is expected the bridge
will be completed in year. A wood pre-
serving works in New Jersey has obtained
the contract for 100000 feet ofyellow pine
for the under flooring of the bridge BY the
patented process in use by these works green
lumber is first heated through and its mois-
ture converted into vapor, which is drawn
off, leaving the wood fibre free from sub
stances that can ferment and then creosote
oil is pumped into the cylinder in which the
wood is treated and 100 pounds to the square
inch is applied until the wood has absorbed
the requisite quantity. Wood prepared IL
this manner is impervious to air and watei
and defies the attacks of worms.

Mr.. Tilden on Coercion In 1901.

Convention held at Tweedle Hall, IN hioa-

Mr.. Thayer and Mr.. Tilden. On the loth
of February the speech of Mr.. Tremaln was
published in full. On the 18th OF feoruaiy
the speech of Mr.. Thayer was published I'D

having been returned to him "for revision'
were never sent back by him for publication

which made an impression on the audience,

Lougfelow, the poet has just had an
odd experience. He was walking along
Battle street, in Cambridge, thinking OF an
old local legend which he compared with
the story of "the Flying Dutchman." The
legend was that in colonial times certain
coun!ryman was seen on Battle street every
day asking the way to Boston. a little girl
with a red hood sat with the gentleman in
the tilbury, or two-wheeled gig, and, as the
legend has it, that tilbury never reached
Boston. Mr.. Longlellow was turning the
tory over in his mind when, looking up, to
his great surprise he saw countryman, who
riding in tilbury, was asking the way to
Boston. The Cambridge Tribune, which re
lates the incident, says that even the little
girl in the red hood was not wanting, but
sat by the countryman under Mr., Long
fellows gaze.

Who is a Gentleman

A gentleman is person not merely ac-
quainted with certain forms of etiquette
Of life, easy and self-possessed in society,
able to speak and act and move in the
world without awkwardness, and free
from habits which are vulgar and in bad
taste. A gentleman is something beyond
this; that which lies at the root of every
christian virtue. 1t IS the thoughtful desire
of doing in every instance what he wishes
others should do unto him. He is constant
ly thinking not indeed how he may give
pleasure to others for the mere sense of
pleasing, but how he may avoid hurting
their feelings. When he is in society he
scrupnlouslv ascertains the position and
relation of every one with whom he comes
in contact that he may give to each his
due honor, his proper position. He stud
les how he may avoid touching in CONVEX
sation on any subject which may needless
ly hurt their feelings-how he may abstain
from illusions which may call up disa-
greeable or offensive association. A gen.
tleman never alludes to. never even ap-
pears conscious Of any defect, bodily de-
formity. lnferiority of talent, of rank, Of
reputation, in the person in whose society
he is placed. He never assumes any SUI
periority to himself-never ridicules, new
er makes display Of his own power, or
rank, or advantages, such as is implied. in
habits or tricks or inclinations which may
be offensive to others.

Tell Your Wife.

The following advice from correspond
ent of the Country Gentleman" is well
worthy of acceptance, but we add little
more to it in the form of suggestion, that
in case you are farmer and haven't
wife-get one:
eff you are in any trouble Or quandary,
tell your wife-that is if you have one-all
about it at once. len to one her inyen-
ton will solve your difficulty sooner than
all your logic. The wit of woman has
been praised, but her instincts are quick
and keener than her reason. Counsel with
your wife, or your mother, or sister, and
be assured light will flash upon your dark
ness. Women are too commonly adjudged
verdant in all but purely Womanish affairs.
No philosophical student of her sex thus
judges them. Their intuitions, or insights,
are the most subtle, and if they cannot
see a cat in the meal tub there is no cat
there. Il advise man to keep none of his
affairs secret from his wife. Many a
home has been happily saved and many a
fortune retrieved by mans full conf
dence in his wife. Woman is far more a
seer and prophet than man, if she be
given fair chance. AS general rule,
wives confde the minutest of their plans
and thoughts to their husbands. Why not
reciprocate. if but for the pleasure of
meeting confidence with confidence? am
certain no man succeeds so well in the
world as he who, taking partner for life,
makes her the partner OF his purposes and
hopes. What is wrong Of his impulse or
judgment she will check and set right with
her almost universally right Instincts
And what she most Graves and most de-
serves is confidence, without which love is
meyer free from shadow

Farmers Wives.

It is no wonder that farmers wives break
down so early in life. Working late at
nights, after a day of continuous toll, IS
one of the main causes. One woman tells
me that she never sews stitch until the
rest of the family are abed, then she runs
the sewing machine until almost midnight.
She says, s'What blessing this machine
is to me" but do not quite agree with
her, for she is so tired when she does retire
that she cannot rest. She is only 3S years
old. vet she looks to be so. Her husband
is as much in the fault as she is, if he could
only be brought to see it. He begins In
the morning by keeping breakfast waiting
till every possible thing is done outside,
no matter how long she must wait, work
ing over the hot stove to keep things just
as he likes them Next. he must have ev-
cry boy and girl on the place out helping
him to get ready for his days work; mean
while the housework stands still while
mamma cares for the baby. He is very
particular to request that dinner should be
ready at ~ O'Clock, when he knows that he
never gets ready for it before one. And
so it goes. With washing, ironing, bak-
ing, cooking, putting things to rights and
caring for children, she, gets no time to sew
and as for reading, that is out of the ques-
ton save little while on Sunday, and
then the farmer generally monopolizes the
solitary weekly. Under no consideration
will the farmer quit his work before SUM-
down, and that brings the milking and
most of the ''chores" after dark. OF course
supper must wait. After that late, I'M
wholesome supper, the farmer sits awhile,
tired and sleepy, and consequently stupid,
and by the time tea things are washed and
put away he is ready to retire. Now, the
poor woman takes up her nightly task,
and works out the hours which should be
spent in sleep. have no patience with
the woman who does so, or the man who
would allow 1.-THE Waterman.
