On Brooklyn Bridge.
Murat Halstead in Cincinnati Commercial

Murat dalSteaQ IN CINCINNATI Commercial
Gazette.
walked over the bridge to Brooklyn
to-day. The distance is something over
amile between the New York and Brook
lyn sta, ting places.
This bridge is the greatest work of
human hands. The cathedrals that are
the wonders of Europe are like toys be-
side this monstrous and magnificent
structure, and its lines are as beautiful
as its proportions are stupendous. 1t is
very like the Cincinnati-C Covington
bridge, only very much more 80. We
have two cables; there are four here. [
think the cables of this bridge are larger
than ours, but so vast is their sweep
that. as they soar above the lofty towers
and swing far over the strait that they
span theJ seem to grow slender. We
have to inspect them closely to be satis-
fed of their enormous strength. The
foot walk is in the center of the bridge,
between the two central cables. Next
outside the foot walk are the railroads,
and outside of these the carriage drives.
So there is roadway for foot
wagon roads. The bridge seems to dom
mate the cities. One looks down upon
the beautiful bay ana the ar-spreading
habitations on its shores, as from
mountain top. The bridge towers sur
pass the spires in apparent attitude, and
either of them is as imposing as the
Strasburg cathedral. The bridge will
be the pride of the city, the favorite
scene Of its history and its romance. It
will revolutionize currents Of travel,
change values, and the cities will be
up in the architecture Of the future to
harmonize with itsgrandeur. With this
stone from 100 to 200 years, Nova Scotia
stone probably from so to 100 years,
Ohio sandstone 100 years, Caen stone
IS to 40 years, coarse dolomite marble
40 years, fine marble 60 years, pure cal
carous marble from so to 100 years,
granite, according to variety, from rs to
200 years. Among the chef destroyers
of the stones are solvent substances
washed from the air by rains, and the
bridge and the elevated railroads, and
the far-shining electric lamps, the possi-
bilities Of New York have been extend
ed and illuminated, and the develop
ments that are to come on the islands
and penninsulas upon which we look
from the bridge will exceed all that has
gone before in the experience of man.
kind. Only in few Of the new build
ings do we find the beginnings of the
amazing city that is to be realized here,
out OF the consummate resources Of civ
ilization. How the wind blows on the
bridge; it is with that air of continuity
one marks on the prairies, or the sea.

Shall We Smell by Telephone?

I asked Judge Bleckley, the other
night what he thought would be the di-
1ection of invention and progress the
next thirty years: "I should say" he
replied, ''the application of the princi-
pie of the telephone to the other
senses. A few years ago the distance at
which you could hear sound was limi-
ted. Now it is practically without linn
it. You can smell flower only at a
short distance. do not see why a tel
ephone for the nose might not enable
you to smell a rose at New York, even
though they were located at Atlanta.
So of the taste and touch. A new appli-
cation of the principle Of the telephone
might enable you to remain at Atlanta

A RICH MAN DIES OF sTARvA-
TON.

"So Jones is dead" said one Som
erville msn to another, the other day.
Eyes, poor fellow" was the reply;
she's gone" "What did he die of"
inquired the first speaker. ''Star>
vation," was the answer. "Starva,
ton! Good gracious. the man was
worth $4,000" 81 know that;
nevertheless, he died of starvation.
I'll tell you how it was: Jones was
always faucying that there was some
thing the matter with him SO he
went to q doctor one day and had
himself examined, and the doctor
Informed him that he had kidney
disc s,e, and besides taking medicine
must diet himself. Said the doctor
You must avoid all kinds of salt
meats, salt 6sb, potatoes, cabbage,
and vegetables Of every kind
Jones followed the advice, bat found
himself no better. He went to an
other doctor, and after being exam
med was Informed that be must avoid
all kinds of fresh meats also. This
did not do him any good, as he
thought, aud he went to another doc
tor who highly approved of the ad-
vice which had previously been
given, and further warned him
against all kinds Of pastry, likewise
shellfish, including oysters and clans.
The best thing for you is milk Diet
said this doctor; SO Jones lived
wholly upon milk. Not feeling him
self any better, he went to another
doctor who cautioned him to avoid
milk, above all things, if be wanted
TO get we'll, -This reduced Jones to
a diet of cold water aDd fresh air,
and finding himself no better upon
this regimeot, he went to another
doctor, who urged him to beware of
drinking too much water and being
TOO much in the air. This last adj
vice cut off the last of Jones' article
of diet, and he died of starvation, as
| have told you. Bonneville jour-

Dedication.

Odd Fellowship is buOyant with youth
full energy and rings with the emphasis
of cOnquering army. The fraternity
has crowded as much good into 65 years.
as any benevolent organization was ever
hOnored with. Recognizing NO aristOc-
racy but that OF mind and soul, BELIEVING
in Universal Father and its accOmpa-
nying truth the universal Brotherhood
Of the race, standing squarely upon the
equality Of human rights, cOnsecrated to
a worldwide benevOlence, seeing no dis
tinction but that of goodness, the Order
has overcome calumDy, persecution and
wrought results that are astounding
even in this age Of rush and greatness.
The new Lodge room was dedicated on
Christmas eve to the sacred purposes Of
the order in a manner that hOn0red the
fraternity, the lodge, and the city. The
members within themselves, conducted
the beautiful, expressive ceremony of the
hour sOlemnly, correctly and to the de-
light of the crowded hall. The Pastor of
the Independent Church delivered an ad-
dress. The dance was an eminent sue
cess. The feast of good things to eat and
drink at the Benton House was a mag
nificent banquet. The Lodge room is
handsome and elegantly furnished. The
order has no debt, several hundred dell
lars on interest, growing rapidly with
over eighty members. Now let US have
an Eneampment.
