mate the cost of a public work
with an amusing party of friends.
The train was delayed a few hours
near Vandrull. When / left the
tumble-down Bonaventure station
tie night was very late, the weather
wet and windy; the streets, long
series of little puddles, flickering
under the gas. Hurrying along, l
crossed street corners diagonally,
kicking up about the curb-stones
heavy masses of ncw-fallen leaves.
At the street door | stood for n

did the wind act, that unseen fng-
crs clutchcd my garments, and that
forms scarcely palpable interposed
between me and the dark hall
within.
With some aid from a match l
felt my way up two pairs of stairs
and stood within my room. Light
ing the gas l looked around.
Though nothing was unfamiliar or
changed a singular air of dcscrtion
prevailed the place. l shivcrcd
slightly, being strangely chilled,
and for moment thought of
abandoning the intention to take a
bath before bed. But to turn in
with that grimmy feeling which
comes from long railway journey
was out of the question. Nor was
l sleepy. On the contrary, my
senses seemed preternaturally ac-
cute and my head delightfully."- clear
and capable. Go to bed? No.
There were some intricate calcula-
tiOns of strains required next day,
and to which l determined to devote
myself after bathing. 1t was not

but that | knew could not sleep,
and that / dreaded the horrors of
insomnia, from which l had once
suffered.
Down to the bathroom l went.
and, turning on the water, rcgained |
my room. Certainly there was not
the least unusual sound either in
descending or ascending the stairs.
Is it possible to believe that my
nervous condition can have changed
greatly, changed without cause,
during the short time after going
back to my room, while l was
undressing?
As all in the house had long been
in bed there was no danger of meet
ing anyone on the stairs in my
condition, so l threw off
my coat, waistcoat and white shirt,
put off my boots and thrust my
feet into slippers. Then l wound
my watch, laid it under my pillow,
brushed my teeth, and read page

Finding Oui ~ Was Alive.

Have YOU had any experience
in operating circular saws?'
inquired the proprietor of saving
and turning shop of an applicant for
employment. Upon giving an
affirmative answer the man was
engaged and set to work. Half an
hour latter the employer bethought
himself to see how his new hand
was doing, and found him gazing
at the bleeding stump of the fore
finger of his right hand.
How did you do that?" inquired
the boss.
"How did l do it? Well, I was
wondering if that thing was mov-
ing" he said, pointing at the circu-
lar saw, d" and / put my finger down
just like that. Holy Moses 1! There
goes the other one" he shricked,
as the index finger of the left hand
became victim of his illustration.
"Well, are you satisfied that the
thing is alive?" asked the propric-
tor of the saw.-Boston Globe.

To the bath room I turned: it

As Mrs. French nodded, her face was
a study. She was a lady, with lady
ike instincts, and am sure she felt
thoroughly ashamed of herself because
of what she had said about the Beveres
The croquet-players made believe
they had not heard, for their faces were
very, very grave. Tot wondered why,
because they had been laughing a mo-
ment before.
After Tot had sung and danced for
them, Mrs. French invited her to play q
game of croquet. Then tea was brought
out under one Of the trees, and Tot felt
like dignifed young lady, for Mamma
Bevere never allowed her to drink tea
at home. Mrs.. French herself drove
Tot home in her pretty pony phaeton.
There had been a GOODNESS between
Mrs. Bevere and Mrs. French before
Tots exploit; but after that they be-
came the best of friends again. So
Tots escapade was productive of great
good, after all --Anthony b. anderson,

BRIDGE BUILDING.
The Extraordinary Structure Being Con-
structed Across the Firth of Forth.

The Extraordinary Structure Being Con-
structed Across the Firth of Forth.
The great railroad bridge across the
Firth of Forth in Scotland will be when
completed one of the most remarkable
fcats OF engineering in the world. The
bridge will be more than a mile and a
half long, so high that the largest war
ship can pass safely beneath it in any
part Of the channel, and so strong that
the heaviest railway train can he run
upon it at the highest rate of speed.
The principle of the bridge is known
as the cantileyer. Apowerful structure
of steel, in shape not unlike that of the
walking beam of a paddle-steamboa
rest upon a pier. The weight on one
side balances that on the other But
the arms OF the two cantilevers do not
meet.
Imagine an engines walking beam
thirteen hundred feet long almost a
quarter OF mile long-restino upon its
center, so that it projects in either drec-
ton six hundred and seVenty-fivc feet,
Next fancy ttCO such cantilevcrs so
placed in the same line that their ends
leave an abyss OF three hundred and
fifty feet between them. This sp tce is
filled with an ordinary girder bridge,
the ends of the two cantileyers serving
for piers.
The process Of constructing this bridge
is extremely interesting. The structure
is largely made of steel cylinders from
| eight TO twelve feet in diameter, and
some Of them two or three hundred feet
long. There will be length of six
miles of such cylinders in the bridge.
Some parts of the bridge will cost more
than twenty dollars an inch to build.
-Four great railway companies unite
to construct it, and its total cost viii be
more than ten million dollars. 1t W Il

Painful Impressions.

A remarkable characteristic of the
average newspaper reader of the day is
the eagerness and avidity one seeks for
painful Impressions caused by perusing
accounts of human suffering. Is there
a railroad accident steamboat dsas-
ter, a hanging, lynching, a murder or
anything of this nature wildly written
up and, glowingly pictured in reporto-
rial descriptive style, it at once becomes
the most interesting item Of the paper.
Managers of our large and most success
full metropolitan dailies pander to this
corrupt and morbid taste of their pa
irons. A reporter will be dispatched
hundred miles to gather the latest and
most minute details of some licentious
rape or revolving murder, while the
deeds of the good and the virtuous are
never known outside narrow limit.
Full many n rose is born to blush unseen
And waste its fragrance on the desert
air."
All this is evidence of mental disease,
truth that can not be contradicted.
They that are clothed and in their right
mind 10th evil and recital of evil ways;
with them it is "peace on earth and
good will toward men," Heaven on
EARTH is printed on their banner, while
al their ways are ways of pleasant
ness and all their paths are peace" Not
all are conscious of their mental i'm
pairment; SO long have they suffered
from urinary, digestive and nervous dis
orders, that they consider their feelings
and impressions natural and common to
even healthful individuals. But if all
such should regain perfect health and
strength of mind and body by using DR..

A Gambling Incident.

A clerk in a large German counting
mouse was spending his honeymoon in
Italy, and while there firm paid him
100000, owed to his employers. Hav-
ing the 40,00Of., the clerk thought he
would 90 to Monte Carlo. He knew it
was the worst possible place for him,
because he would be tempted to gam
BILE, but nevertheless being the foolish
and weak-minded clerk he was, he set
off for the spot. Lest he should be inn
PEELED to 90 to the rooms and speculate
with his employers money, he handed
the sumo over to his wife to keep.
Devoted to each other as bride and
bridegroom were they rambled about
this very small place Independently of
each other. The wife, with 100000 in
heT pocket, went to the tables, lost all,
and jumped into the sea.-N, J. Post.
