1ievc, very thirsty party without n single
definite principle; party without any dis

Gass country; party which fell from power as
a conspiracy against human rights, and now
attempts to sneak back to power as a con-

The matted sins that snare unwary rect,
The poison growth of sander, shame anu
The hemlock leaves of anguish and de-

Clasp burning palms and pray for II IN VAN.
And oh, not in loves stormy realm Il grows

The Bridges OF Pittsburgh.

With the completion of the Seventh
Street Bridge, Pittsburgh Will be one
of the most notable pc nts in the world
for the examination of bridge archi-
lecture. The old store structure, in
vol,i ing the heavy arch and the key
stone, one of the earliest forms OF
space construction known, is not repre-
sented here. but all modern ideas in
bridge buildings are most beautifully
exemplitied. This city will shortly be-
come resort for those requiring IN
struction 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 In
Austria. 1t is combination OF
steel and iron that forty years ago
would be recognized as one OF the
wonders of tn world The new smith
field street bridge Is also magniflcent
work OF metallic architecture, and the
Sixth street wire bridge is. without ex-
ceptiop. the ..prettiest' structure OF the
kind ON the continent In the sweeps
of its cables. its minaretted towers, and
the curve of elch span there IS some
thing so pleasing to the eye that the
bridge fastens itself on the memory oil
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 woriDp
timber" the Ninth street bridge is Gu,
riositv. 1t is so bra ed, tenneted and
KEYED that it is an exceptional piece Of
mechani al ingenuity. The railroad
bridges. crossing both rivers, are worthy
the areful study of engineers. There
are few cities in the world where me
chanical effects can be studied witt
more satisfa tory results than in fltts
burgh. --Putsburg Chronicle Ieteqrdps

Women i'm Proverbs.

Proverbs about women are common
in every language, but particularly SO
in the last. In Japan they say; wv here
the hen crows, the house goes to rum,
evidently an Eastern rendition OF the
oray mare, but in China. "A busting
woman and Growing hen are neither
f;t for pods and men, while the Per-
SLAMS believe in adapting the means to
the end. as indicated by the expression
..If YOU be COCK, crow; II hen, lay
eggs In Russia, 1T never goes well
when the hen crows" and another
thought is pertinently expressed in the
proyerb: 1.-The wife does not beat the
husband, but her temper rules him.
The Chinese, however. have perhaps
the meauest saying about women ever
written: There are two good women;
one dead, the other unborn" As an
expression of confidence, however, it
is closely pushed by the Bengalese no
ton: * perfect woman is as rare as
WINGS upon a cat, or air-tiowers, or rab-
hits horns or tortoise-hair ropes. !"
Woman as a wife is not less the object
nj nroverbial attention. The Talmud
saws: Though the wife be little, bow
down to her." that is, listen to her adj
vice. while the Chinese say: "a good
man will not beat his wife, self-evi-
dent propos ton. the truth of which is !
not Affected by the Persian: "A bad
wife is like fig tree growing on the
| walr'-whfch undermines the wall by
its roots. In China, 1.-The widow is like
a rudderless boat," and in Siam, "He
who marries q Wolf looks often to the
forest" In Russia, "a wife is not a
guitar" which will be silent when you
have done with it, while In Ceylon, "A
wife is like the morning flower to &c
,enderly handled. The Talmud, how
ever. sums up the whole case: God
i Aid not make woman from N ans head,
that she should rule over him; nor from
his feet, that she should be his slave
but from his side, that she should bt
near his heart "-St. Louis Gtobe-Dena

Our Young Folks.
THREE LITTLE M4IDENS.

Three doleful little maidens
Started of for schoo. each day.
Three weeping little maIdens went
At recess out to play,
Three heavy-hearted maidens
Fretted sore against their lot
Tho road was rough the stones were baro,
The sun was very not:
They had such dreadful headaches,
Ana their lessons were SD long,
Their hands were cold, their feet were tireu'
And all the world was wrong.
Three little covered has <ets
He'd the Sc little maidens luncn,
And when the noon-time recess came
They all BEGIN to munch-
Very wretchei little maidens,
Tears in their little eyes,
They ate and ate their pickles, cake ana pies
Three sorry little maidens
Instituted a reform:
Their little cheeks grew round anu PINK.
Their little fingers warm:
They laughed from morn TIL evening.
And they laughed in school and out:
At recess gayest of the gay,
They skipped and pranced about;
For they filled their little baskets
Now with sandwiches and fruit,
And nothing else. they all declared.
Their appetites would suit.
Three smiling little maidens
Started of fer school each day.
And when the noon-time recess came.
Their lessons put away
Very happy little maidens,
