Woman has right to be proud of
the recent record of her sex. Yet
since Mary Sommcrvillc there has been
no woman whose mind has stood the
test Of prolonged and trying strain SO
well rs that OF Mrs. Washington Roed-
ling, the wife of the great engineer who
was entrusted with the construction of
the Brooklyn bridge, who has (says the
Pail Mall Gazette) been chief of the
engineering staff ever since her hus-
band first fell i'll. When he was dis
abled, and could not proceed with his
great work, Mrs Rocbling began to
study engineering, and her success was
such that in a short time she was able
To take her husbands place, and the
enormous structure which Americans
not incorrectly call lone OF the most
conspicuous marvels of the nineteenth
century was completed under her di.
rcotions. The honour OF being the first
TO drive across the new bridge was well
earned by Mrs, Roebling, and the
peculiar share which she had taken in
lis construction was rightly held to just
ily disregard OF the old superstition
which dooms TO i'll luck the structure
over which woman has been the first
To cross.

A BRIEF BIOGRAPHY,

He tried his hand at many things
was this, that and the other but at
last, taking the tide at the food, he rose
to be a counsellor OF state. Atcr be
coming premier OF Young Hawaii he
began to absorb office at such a rate
that it was not long before he united
king and cabinet in his own pcrson
He then annexed Sahara, Siberia, Pat
agonia, Greenland and Bird Island,
afterwards conqucring Europe, Asia,
Africa and Australia He had just
taken the United States and was pre-
pairing to invade Molokini, when Min.
lister Nonresident Daggott who owns
that country intcrlcrcd. The NORTH
cation of being so unkindly baked in
his philanthroptc design proved too
much for the rcycrcd statesman, and,
while planning campaign against the
man IN the moon, he suddenly died, al,
the ripe age of nine hundred and nine
We shall probably never see his like
again.

bic answer that can be made to the

OF the stock of the lntcrisiand Steam
Navigation Company at ISI and of the

there were no sales made, the broker
who bid IS offered to sell any amount
required at 90 with no takcrs. Instead
of private investments being made be

been made because of the prevailing
belief that the administration would

impression obtaining among certain
friends OF the tramway project that the
cabinets opposition to the scheme was
caused by MIR. Spreckels' desire to con

project as business proposition +

in the habit OF bringing hay and grain
