China possesses the longest bridge in
the world. It is at Langang, over an
arm of the China sea, and is five miles
long, seventy feet high, with roadway
seventy feet wide, and has 300 arches.
The parapet is balustrade, and each
of the pillars, which are seventy-five
feet apart, supports pedestal on
which is placed lion twenty-one feet
long, made of one piece of marble. The
highest bridge in the world is said to
be the railway viaduct at Garabit, in
France, now being erected over river
in the department of Cantal. The
bridge has total length of about $50
feet, and near the middle of the great
center arch, which is one of the note
worthy features of the structure, the
height from the bed of the river to the
rail is Alb feet. The viaduct was COM
menced in 1881, and is to be completed
next year.

The Orgarf Baby.

There is another kind of little Great

made far worse than that of the monk

in the shed, but in the kitchen where
the macaroni hangs, where the men
smoke by the hearth, where the women
gossip in Italian, taking off their flat
linen head-dresses, and hugging their
babes against short skirts and bodices
as bright as a rainbow One subject of
our anxiety is the organ baby. Who
that walks through London streets has
not seen it lying like an inanimate bun
die upon the top of the organ, or lit

the handcart at the end of the iron
hinged piano-organ? Where are its
brains? Will it grow up deaf, or will
it shout haunted all life long by an at
mosphere of noise? Has custom be
come second nature TO those that hear
organs all day? Has the baby,
strapped on the organ-top, an inherited
knack of not caring? Will il grow up
to hear and understand, and sleep like
other children? Or will it grow up at

demned to lie with his head against it

The Trade i'm Horned Frogs.

While walking along Fourth street,
Waco, we were accosted by couple OF
street gamins in the following strain
"Say, mister you want to buy horned
frog to carry North with YOU" On the
pavement Lay tire frog, as fiat as a
founder, securely staked to an awning
post with red ribbon. What's your
price?" asked we. "Only 80 cents. /"
Not desiring to purchase, we explained
to the boys that we were not from the
North, but a resident of Texas. The
boys then "sOrter" warmed toward us
and said, in a confidential tone, "Us
boys sells 'cm to these Northern preach
ers for four bits apiece, but we sells
'em to Texas preachers for four bits a
bushel. Mister, won't you take bushel
we've got plenty of 'em hid out in the
alley" We declined to purchase, not
withstanding the liberal offer.-FdHs

BirdSnest Scum.

Every once or twice in while we are
treated by the newspapers to long
wnded descriptions of birdsnest soup.
We would prefer to be treated to some
thing else. Nobody can make us be-
lieve that birdsnest which has done
duty in raising brood of feathered
songsters, and that has been lying out
in the rain for wet season or two, is
the best material for constructing a
soup. We should Judge that the man
who indulged in birdsnest soup could
not get the taste of pin-feathers out of
his mouth for week. Chopped up in u
feed-cutter, and the taste disguised with
bran and potato-parings, it might be
palmed off on a sick COW whose palate
was out of order so that she could not
distinguish what she was eating But
whenever smoking birdsnest soup is
brought into the dining-room, accom-
panied by all the unpleasant associa-
Citations which cling to it still, why, we
want to go rightaaway and conceal our
selves in the chaparral until the feast
of reason and flow of soup has some
what subsidized.
1t doesn't make any particular differ
ence to us whether the birdsnests are
brought from China or Kalamazoo, or
whether the original fowls that con-
structed the nests were birds of Para
disc or buZZards, tomtits, killaloos or
sandhill cranes. All we ask is, when
tire birdsnest soup is brought in, and
W, catch the first sniff of the aromatic
flu. |, that we be allowed to go off to a
lodge in some vast wilderness, where
we can be alone with our grief. while
the other guests are gorging themselves
with high-tariff diet, imported at an
immense expense.
People inclined to Judge harshly,
may term MS peculiar, capricious and
somewhat sensitive in this matter of
eating last years birdnests with the bot
tom knocked out. Perhaps we are. But
we don't have to eat them, and more
than that. we don't propose TO so long
as we can get plenty of ordinary United
States food. Birdsnest soup is a rare
delicacy, no doubt, but we don't banker
after it, We have seen birdsnest
made of sticks and clubs foot and q
half long. and lined with an old buffalo
robe. 1t had been the nursery of nine
broods of young eagles that we know
of, and might, for all we know to the
contrary have been rocked in the cradle
of an old pine tree top for centuries
The idea of boiling that thing up into
soup, and offering to set it up for free
born American citizens who pay poll
taxes, vote, and help run the Govern
ment, is absurd. There is too much of
the mans inhumanity to man business
about it, and the ranker the soup, the
ranker the injustice. If we had any
tickets for birdsnest soup We would
cheeriully give them to the poor
Teras SGii11gs.

In eSalmagundi," o humorous work
written by Washingtos Irving, his
brother William, and James X. Pauld-
ing, this name is applied to New York,
to suit the purpose of the authors in
representing the inhabitants as given to
undue pretensions to wisdom. OF
course, the allusion is to the inhabit-
ants of Gotham, a parish in Noting
hamshire, England, who were as re-
markable for their stupidity as for their
cenceit. All the follies of English
wiseacres were attributed to them.
Fuller says: "The proverb of 'as wise
as a man of Gotham passeth publicly
for the periphasis of fool; and a
hundred fopperies are forged and
fathered on the townsfolk of Gotham.
1t was said that when King John was
about to pass through Gotham toward
Nottingham he was prevented by the
inhabitants, who thought that the
ground over which king passed be-
came a public road. When the King
sent TO punish them they resorted to an
expedient to avert their sovereign's
wrath. According to this, when the
avengers arrived they found the people
each engaged in some foolish occupa-
ton or other, so that the Kings messen-
gers returned to court and reported
that Gotham was village of fools. In
time book appeared, entitled Certain
Merry Tales of the Mad Men of Goth
am" compiled in the reign of Henry
VIII, 10y Andrew Borde, a sort of trav-
cling quack, from whom the occupation
l.
derived. Among these tales is the
story of The Three Wise men of
Gotham" who went to sea in bowl.
The book had wonderful sale. Wal
pole attributed it to Lucas de Here, a
Flemish painter, resident in England
in the time of Queen Elizabeth, but the
weight of evidence is in favor of Borde's
being the author, or compiler, it being
mostly conn ilation of popular legends
even then from 400 to 500 years old.

The Channel Tunnel.

Sir John Hawkshaw, civil engineer,
recently stated that there We're no en-
gineering difficulties in the way of the
formation of the tunnel between France
and England, and that its maintenance
would be cheap. He estimated the cost
of the tunnel ut eS,000, 600, and said
the work would accupy in construction
eight years. He had no doubt as to the
financial success of the undertaking
1t was reasonable TO reckon upon ?, 600, =
600 passengers being carried through
the tunnel annually Us. per head, and
200, coo tons of goods at 5s. per ton.
That would produce a revenue of
$500, 600. Allowing 40 per cent. for
working expenses, 81 per cent could
then be paid upon the capital of 9S,O00,-
600. As one means of defence, it had
been suggested that steps should be
taken by which the tunnel could be
flooded. He, however, was of opinion
that arrangements could be made to
throw up mass Of single inside the
tunnel, and thus prevent its use. If
necessary, the tunnel could be blown
up. Should more than one tunnel be
constructed, the question whether or
not they should all be defended by forts
was question for a military man. If
there were several tunnels they could
be easily defended 10y the same fortifi-
cations on the English side The tun-

The Indians Of Zuni.

A long timo ago, In the East, was the
scalp OF great priest. This our fathers
brought with them when they came.
1t was as full of hair as my own head.
Eight hundred years after they came
the world was filled with water, and
they went into the mountains for safety.
They carried the scalp with them, and
each year they sacrificed hair. More
generations ago than / could count on
all my fingers, the last hair was sacri-
feed. Then my people thought the
world would turn over, but it didn't
turn over. In comparison to that time
it was only few days ago that the an
Gent Washington came here and asked
us to show them the roads to the
springs of the Navaioes. We passed
over the plains and the hills covered
with pines to a canon filed with sage
brush and yellow tops and flags. 1t was
q little country like bowl, and in the
center was a spring, and we called it
the country of fiags-I mean cat tails.
Then the Americans sat down, and they
held council and built town-Fort
Defiance. The Zunis returned, and the
Americans knew whittier they returned
here. But / remained behind with
them one summer, one winter, and
summer again till the ripening of the
peaches. and then L returned, and the
Americans knew whittier / returned
here. Since then the Americans have
visited us and seen us, and have seen
us here; in fact, as long as we have
known the Americans, and as long as
the Americans have known us, they
have known that we live here. Chicd-

How BRYANT Wrote II.

On the 10Th of December he went
over to the place Plaintield to make
the necessary inquiries. He says in a
letter that he felt as he walked up the
hills very forlorn and desolate indeed,
not knowing what was to become Of
him in the big world, which grew big
ger as he assembled, and yet darker with
the coming on of night. The sun had
already set, leaving behind it one of
those brilliant seas of chrysolite and
opal which often flood the New En-
gland skies; and, while he was looking
upon the rosy splendor with rapt adj
miration, solitary bird made wing
along the illuminated horizon. He
watched the lone wanderer until it was
lost in the distance. asking himself
whittier it had come and to what far
home it was flying. When he went to
the house where he was to stop for the
night his mind was still full of what he
had seen and felt and he wrote those
lines, as imperishable as our language,
"The Waterfowl" The solemn tone
in which they conclude, and which by
some critics has been thought too
moralizing,
He who from zone to zone
Guides through the boundless sky thy certain
fight,
In the long way that must tread alone,
viii lead my steps Alright,
was as much part of the scene as the
fight of the bird itself, which spoke
not alone to his eye, but TO his soul.
To have omitted that grand expression
of faith and hope iii divine guidance
would have been to violate the truth of
the entire vision. - From GOdirin's

I'm the Commons Fifty.three Years.

The present Father of the House of
Commons" Mr.. Christopher Rice Man
sell Talbot, has sat for the county of
Glamorgan, without interruption, from
1880, down to this day. Like other
Fathers Of the House" who preceded
him, he has been distinguished for
brilliant silence rather than obstructive
loquacity. His immediate predecessor,
Mr.. Cecil Forester, the present Lord
Forester, sat for Much Wenlock, from
1898 to 1874, and never broke silence
during that time. His predecessor,
Sir Charles Burrell, sat for Shoreham
from 1906 until 1862, and during that
period of nearly sixty years spoke but
once, and that to introduce bill for
bidding housemaids to be compelled to
clean windows from the outside.
