Dressed for church, she stood be-
fore the mirror admiring hsrself, and
mentally observed that she never had
appeared more lovely. The candid
critic, however, would have declared
that her figure was not in just pro-
portion, for she was very tall and thin
and her height seemed greater than it
actually was, in consequence of a
bunch OF ostrich plumes that floated
IN snowy masses over her white
hat.

That takes the pains to win it.

Unnatural Natural History.

From AZ the Year Round.
The pelican feeds its young with the life blood
from its own bleeding bosom. This is a beauti
ful mistake, that will live forever In symbol and
legend. The real live" pelican has a large bag
under her unwieldy beak, and digging with the
beak toward the breast, she feeds her brood and
soils her feathers with redstained tidbits OF fish
from the bag. The nightingale leans her breast
against thorn and sings in pain. In the old
poets not only has she thorn in her breast but
SIZE puts 1t there. Instead of being the voice Of
lonely loye she ought to be the emblem of those
discontented people who, in position enyiable
TO others. first make their own troubles and then
spend their lives In decentralization. OF
course the nightingale Is not such a fool az she
looks In poetry. Swans are said to sing death
song; this Is poetry too. But they are hatched
during thunder; and this is prose-the belief of
otherwise sensible folk. Crows and curlews

The Bridges of Pittsburg.

FROM the u rOnlcle- Telegraph.
With the completion Of the 7th street bri5oe
Pittsburg will be one Of the most notable points
in the world for the examination of bridge arcbi-
lecture. The old stone structure, involving the
heavy arch and the keystone, one OF the earliest
forms Of space construction known is not repre-

building are most beautifully exemplfed This
city will shortly become resort for those re-
quiriLg instruction In bridge FORMS and it is
source Of honest pride that we already have
such diversity of the very best designs known
to modern engineering. The Point bridge has
but one other like it In the world, and that is i'm
Austria. 1t Is a combination OF steel and IRON
that forty years ago would be recognized as one
OF the wonders of the world. The new Smith
field street bridge is also q magnificent work of
metallic architecture, and the 9th street wire
bridge Is, without exception, the ''prettiest
structure of the kind on the continent In the
sweeps Of its cables, its minaretted towers. and
the curve OF each span there is something so
pleasing to the eye that the bridge fastens itself
on the memory of all who cross it. Singular as
it may seem, the most notable bridge of the
entire number is one that attracts the least
attention. As ''art work in timber the 9th
street bridge 10 a curiosity. 1t is so braced
tenneted, and keyed, that it is an exceptional
piece of mechanical ingenuity. The railroad
bridges, also, crossing both rivers, are worthy
the careful study of engineers. There are few
cities in the world where mechanical effects can
be studied with more satisfactory results than in
Pittsburg.
