THE TAY BRIDGE.

The Inflated Tay bridge is about to be
rebuilt, or, rather, replaced by q new
one Of similar structure. The Tay is
about a mile wide, and subject to sudden
and violent storms. The new bridge
will run alongside OF the old one, whose
remains can be utilized to some extent.
It will begin, starting at the south end,
with four brick arches, each of fifty feet
span, and be followed by girder and
truss spans, as follows: One of 11S feet,
ten of 1919 feet, thirteen of AS feet,
eleven of 245 feet, two Of 227 feet, one
OF 162 feet, ten Of 1919 feet inches, one
OF 127 feet inches, and twenty-five Of
II feet. The long central spans will be
seventy-seven feet in the clear above
high-water mark. The trains will run
between the girders Of these spans, and
on top Of those on either hand, as in the
old bridge. The foundations Of the piers
are to be iron cylinders filed with con-
crete, upon which brickwork will be
built up and surmounted by wrought
iron pillars. Before travellers trust them
selves to any great extent on this new
piece Of engineering, they are likely to
want their nerves quoted with definite
assurance that it won't blow over in a
gale, train and all, like its predecessor.
The water Of the Tay beneath the bridge
is 100 feet deep or more, so that it is
sure death to be plunged into it in tight
y locked railroad cars. The passengers
Sho went down with the fimsy old con-
,eln proved this conclusively.

The body OF Charles Delmonico, the
great New York restaurateur, miss
ing since January 9th, was found
yesterday in the Orange Mountains,
near Gen. McClellan's summer house.
The theory is that he strayed away
from home while laboring under Il
temporary fit of insanity, and was
frozen to death. Delmonico was the
proprietor of the famous restaurant
bearing his name in New York. lie
was Il years of age, and during the
past year had been in bad health. In
1927, two brothers, John and Peter
Delmonico, accompanied by their
nephew, Francois, left the hamlet OF
Faido, in Canton du Tessin, Switzcr-
land, and'came to New York. They
were skilled in the culinary art,
which they turned to advantage by
opening an unpretending restaurant
on William Street. Nothing like a
tirst-class restaurant then existed in
New York, and their venture was
successful from the outset. In 1882
their nephew, Lorenzo Delmonico,
who died recently, was admitted as
,nnmhnr of thn firm. Tn 1919 Peter
died, and six years later John retired
from the business, leaving Lorenzo
and Francois sole proprictors. They
subsequently removed to Chambers
Street, then to the corner of Four
tcenth Street and Fifth Avenue, then
to liz Broadway, and finally they es-
tablished their famous uptown res
taurant at Twcnty-sixth Street and
Fifth Avenue which is the favorite
resort of the bon-ton of the metropo-
lis and the finest establishment of tn
kind in America. Shortly after this
restaurant was opened, Charles and
Siro Delmonico were admitted as
partners, Charles having full charge
of the uptown business. The death
of Siro in 1881 left Charles inhnpitor
and sole proprietor Of the business
Exchange.

"When you rise in the morning, form tho

HOW TO LIVE.

He liveth long who liveth well.
All other life is short and vain;
He liveth longest who can tell
OF living most for heavenly gain
lie liveth long who liveth well,
AL else Il being flung away;
He liveth longest who can tell
Oftrue things truly done each day.
Waste not thy being back to Him -,
Who freely gave it, freely give;
Else is that being but dream;
TITS but to be, and not to live.
BE what thou seemest live thy creed!
Hold up to earth the torch divine;
Be what III Il prayest to be made,
Let the great Masters steps be thine.
Fill up each hour with what will last;
Buy up the moments as they go;
The life above, when this is past,
Is the ripe food of life below.
Sow truth, If thou the truth wouldst reap;
Who sows the false shall reap the vain;
Erect and sound the conscience keep;
From hollow words and deeds refrain.
Sow love, and taste its frutage pure;
Sow peace and reap its harvest bright;
Sow sunbeams on the rock and moor,
And reap harvest home of light
