their abilities and build up profitable business
Singly they could do but little but by system OF

My bill enables them to effect legal association

The transfer OF the Aqueduct bridge to the gov
ernment was completed yesterday afternoon. Col.
p C. Hains- Of the engineer corps, to whose credit
the funds for the purchase were placed, gave the
owners OF the bridge q check on the Treasury for
$S7, 500. the cash payment agreed upon. The
appropriation amounts to $l25 900, but $4,000
was reserved, according to law, for the condemna-
tfon OF the northern abutment; $4,000 was re-
tanned for claims OF the District on account OF
taxes and advances made by West washington.
and $500 Tor the settlement OF other claims
against the owners or lessees Of the bridge. All
these claims will have to be decided in court, and
u is likely that the owners will receive an addi-
tional sum when they are settled. The sum OF
$500 has been retained simply to secure the
payment OF all valid claims against the bridge
company, including the cost Of condemnation.
The purchase Of the bridge was completed Just
one day within the limit allowed by law. Had the
matter remained pending until tomorrow the
Secretary OF War would have been required to
secure site for free bridge at the Three Sisters.
The Aqueduct bridge will be rebuilt above the
piers and turned into a free bridge, but IL will
probably be some time before active operations
are commenced

The Boston Girls Handbag.

Boston Letter in Minneapolis Tribune.
How fast the fashions change in the
things that Boston girls love to carry
in their hands A short time ago it
was nothing but music rolls. They
were large, too-large enough to con-
ceal a considerable stock OF shopping
plumber, or a substantial luncheon, if
necessary. Almost every young girl
that you met, and many who were
not so young, used to carry one of
these brown or black leather rolls
about the streets, but when the wom-
en- OF shady lives adorted the
music roll as a means OF disguise it
quickly disappeared from the hands
OF innocent girls and is now not seen
at all. Its place has been taken by a
great bag shaped like purse, made of
cloth, and capable OF much variety in
the way ofembroidery or other decora-
ton at the taste Of the owner. 1t may be
carried in the hand. but the correct
Boston style is to have it flung over
the shoulder, with one baggy end hang
ing in front and the other behind.
What under the sun it contains Ican't
conceive, but it is spacious enough for
almost anything that a young girl Is
supposed to possess. tits reminder
of the oId-fashioned saddlebags that
my grandfather used to throw across
the old mares back when he mounted
for an eighteen-mile ride to village in
the upper part OF Maine for his store
supplies. Brass rings slip freely upon
the neck Of the great purse, serving to
close the aperture and combining the
contents to the baggy ends. Whether
or not the Boston damsel carries her
treasure in one end and stone to
balance it in the other, as the man
loaded the bags on his donkey, can
not say, but what she fills it with is
mystery that l haven't dared to ask
about. l suspect that the contents
are sham, and that the girl carries the
great thing on account OF its aesthetic
shape and ornamentation.

Carelessness Doesn't Pay.
Our Country Home.

Our Country Home.
The breeding OF swine, like the breed
ing of all other domestic animals has
become a science, and to make it a
successit must be conducted systemat-
ically like any other business. The
careless breeder need not expect to
reap much reward for his money or
labor expended in this direction. But
where they are properly managed,
swine come more nearly being the
everyday, always available stock OF
the farmer than any other species of
domestic animal intended for the
shambles. With most other stock he
has to wait two or three years for
full return on his investment, but from
his hogs he gathers crop every season.
The hog is always on hand to use up
almost any respectable refuse which
may be placed before him, thus con-
verting a great deal OF otherwise
worthless provender into ready cash.
He is the farm scavenger as we'll as the
annual replenisher OF the farmers
purse.

Mixed RatiODa.

Some animals are naturally limited
to one or a few kinds of food. Cattle
do well enough month after month on
grass, and a tiger will thrive with notl.-
ing but lean meat. But in the case of
the human, no matter how fond of a
particular dish, he loses relish for it
when allowed nothing else for num-
Der OF meals, and the craving for vari-
ETY. gives evidence of necessities of the
system, which are constantly varied
with the changing circumstances of
health, employment, and other con-
ditions. The fondness for variety
shown by fowls is equally significant
of real need. Fish, flesh, herbs and
grain are devoured by them with equal
relish, for though they commonly
pounce upon insects with greater
