A Remarkable Bridge.

Distant about an hours ride by rail
from Avignon is the Pont du Guard Tor
Bridge of the Guard'0, a great bridge,
or ~aqueduct, built by the Romans
at a time when this part OF France
was occupied by the soldiers and colo
MES of that people !; and next to the
Colosseum at Rome, it is considered the
grandest and most perfect piece Of
Roman architecture now standing in
the world.
1t is an immense stone bridge,
stretching across the whole valley. It
consists of three rows of arches, Ole
above the other. In the lower row
there are six very low arches above
this is a longer row Of eleven smaller
arches /; and oye this, thirty.fve arches
still smaller. On the top of the uppe-
row, and forming the summit of the
bridge, lisa covered aqueduct, or water
way. At a little distance this vast
bridge seems almost as entire and per-
feet as when first built, and we can
hardly realize the fact that 1t has stood
there for nineteen centuries. 1t was
erected solely for the purpose of carry
ing water across the valley, and was
part of an ~aqueduct, twenty-five miles
long, constructed by the Romans to
conduct the water of the springs of
Airan to their town of Nemausus, now
the French town OF Mines.
Great stones project at regular inter
walls from ITS sides, to the top of the
second row of arches. These served
rs supports to the derricks and other
machines by which the massive stones
were raised as the building progressed.
We can also see the square intentions
IN the stone-work which were made
there to support the ~scaffolding Of the
Roman masons.
The Penn's Grove record., 1884-11-01

There was a twinkle IN his eyes as he
entered a livery stable the other morn
ing and proceeded to look over the
horses. When he had made the rounds
the proprietor asked:
'Looking for a horsep"
"FSay, I've one of my own, but a neigh
Dor is continually bothering me to loan
himthe rig for a drive. Have you an
animal which you will warrant to run
away2"
''You bet ! That old o there will
make a break before he is driven two
blocks"
''Then | want to borrow him this af-
ternoon. IWgive that neighbor all the
buggy-riding he wants for a year to
Gomez
The horse was sent to his barn at the
hour agreed upon, and hitched up for
the neighbor and his wife. Lucky for
the wife the horse ran away before
she got in, and she wasthus saved from
a big scare if not a case of broken bones.
When the animal was returned 10 the
stable the proprietor inquired:
swell, l warranted him to run away
OF no pay"
Eyes, he raj away"
"And your game succeededF'
eyes, l suppose so. That is, I've

weeks with a man with a broken leg.

Winter Palace.

There is the Winter Palace. in Rus
sla. and to what thoughts does it give
rise. Within this is the Romanoff por-
trait gallery, where one ices the tablet
upon which are the rules that Catherine
enforced at her conversations. These
are quaint, and here Is the tradition of
them: /, Leave your rank outside as
well as your hat, and especially your
sword. 2 Leave your right of prece-
dence, your pride, and any similar feel
ing outside the door. 8. Be gay, but
do not spoil anything, do not break or
gnaw anything. A. Sit, stand, walk as
you will, without reference to anybody.
8. Talk moderately, and not very loud,
so as not to make the ears and heads of
others ache. 6. Argue without anger
and without excitement, Z. Neither
sigh nor yawn, mol make anybody dull
or heavy. 8. In all innocent games,
whatever one proposes, let all join. O..
Eat whatever is sweet and savory, but
drink with moderation, so that eacn
may find his legs on leaving the room.
10. Tell no tales out of school; what
ever goes IN at n ear must go out at
the other before leavingthe room.
Charity is a universal duty.
