WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-When the SEN
ate was called to order all the seats in the
galleries were occupied, the larger proper
ton of the occupants being ladies. Mr..
Voorhees, called up his resolution upon the
death Of Vice President Hendricks and ad-
dressed the senate upon it. He said:
For the eminent citizen of the republic
who lately fell from his place. and who now
sleeps in homer in the bosom of the state he
loved so well aud served so faithfully. we can
do no more than has already been done by
tongue and by every method which human
affection can inspire. The heavy drapery OF
woe had darkened alike the public buildings,
the stately palace and the humble home.
The proud colors OF the Union have dropped
at half-mast throughout the United States
and in every civilized land beneath the sun.
Eloquence in the forum and in the sacred
desk has paid its richest tributes TO his ex-
alted abilities and TO

London Bridge,

The first London bridge is said to have
been In existence since the 10th century
A bridge was built of wood over the
Thames in 1014, which partly burned in
1136. Old London bridge which existed
until the beginning of the present century,
was built of stone. 1t was commenced in
1176 by Peter of Colechurch, who belong
ed to a religious and labor fraternity called
Brethren of the Bridge" Peter died
before the completion of his work, and was
buried in the crypt of the chapel erected
on the centre pier, in accordance with the
custom of his society, which always provid-
ed that any member who died when super
intending an important work should be en-
tombed within the structure. The bridge
was completed during the reign of King
John, in 1909. 1t was chiefly remark
able for its massiveness and the great
amount of material used in its construction.
1t had twenty arches in span of $40 feet,
with piers varying in solidity from twenty
five to forty feet, so that two-thirds of the
stream was occupied by piers, and in low
water even greater proportion, leaving
less than one-fourth of the whole span for
waterway. Houses were built on each side
of the bridge, connected by large arches of
timber that crossed the street. In July,
1912, fire in the city at one end of the
bridge brought great crowds of people
upon the bridge; the building at the other
end then caught fire and cut off all way of
escape, so that over 5000 persons were
killed, being trampled on, burned and
drowned. In 1900 the bridge was again
restored, but was thrice subsequently burn
ed and rebuilt, in 1541, in 1922 and in
1725. In 1856 all the houses upon the
bridge were pulled down. In 1922 the
corporation advertised for design for new
bridge, that made by John Rennie was ap-
proved, and the work was executed by his
sons, John aud George. The first pier was
driven 200 feet to the west of the old
bridge March 10, 1924; the first stone was
laid June Is, 1925 and the bridge was
opened by King William ~, August 1,
1881. This bridge is quite an imposing
structure of granite, it has total length
of 92s feet, with five elliptical arches, the
span of the centre arch being 152 feet.
The cost Of fhe bridge was 95O6, 1000.

An Anecdote for Architects.

Architects are fond Of telling an amusing
story which tends to illustrate the differ.
ence between house-builders and members
of their own profession. 1t appears that
Mr.. Alexander, an eminent English archi-
tect, was in certain law suit under cross
examination by distinguished barrister,
who wished to detract from the weight of
his testimony, and who, after asking him
bis name, proceeded
"You are builder, l believer"
aNo, sir" was the reply, ~ am not a
builder; | am an architect"
"They are much the same suppose ?"
81 beg your pardon, sir; 1 cannot admit
that; consider them totally different"
aOh, indeed Perhaps you viii state
wherein this great difference exists.
aAn architect, sir" replied Mr.. Alex
ander, "Conceives the design, prepares the
plans, draws out the specifications short
supplies the mind; the builder is the brick
layer or the carpenter. The builder, in
fact, is the machine; the architect, the
power that puts the machine together and
sets it going
"Oh, very well, Mr.. Architect, said the
lawyer; "aud now, after your ingenious dis
tinction without difference, perhaps you
can inform the Court who was the architect
Of the Tower of Babel?" to which question
Mr.. Alexander made the prompt and tell
ing rejoinder:
"There was no architect, sir, and hence
the confusion"

To Improve Weak Lungs.

DR.. T. c. Curtis, in the Medical and
Surgical Reporter, gives the following
practical directions to persons with weak
lungs:
If imperfect respiration is at the bottom
of all the trouble-as it often is-we need
to teach the subject lesson in physiologi-
cal breathing the first thing, and then at
tend to diet and constipation afterward.
For instance show him how to swell out
full and round the whole chest, by deep
inspiration, elevatins and throwing back
the shoulders, and then, when he had got
ten into his lungs the last atom of air pos
sible, to then shut it in or hold it tightly
for just little time, and then let it off
slowly, blowing out every atom of it if he
possibly can by forcible expiration, draw
ing the shoulders forward and pressing in
the chest to the smallest possible compass,
thus throwing out almost all Of the resid-
ual air, and all this through the nose, with
mouth tightly closed Let him take
half dozen or more such forced respirations
dozen times day, and he will soon
double his vital capacity, and relieve him
self of most of his supposed chest trouble.
Such forced respiration will compel every
air cell possible to freely admit wholesome
air into the little spaces and to expel it also,
and some air cells that do not often perform
their functions healthily will be compelled
to normal duty, and SO healthy, oxygenated
blood viii be given to the general system,
and our patient will continue in his en-
ployment and yet recover.
l have myself reached, and have seen
others reach, difference in the chest cir
conference, in short time of five inches
between forced inspiration and expiration.
l have also seen them after a short time
able to take few forced respirations, and
then take deep inspiration and hold it
full minute with perfect ease. Personal
experience is what first called my mind to
this point, and then quite frequent obser-
walton of others after forced respiration
has taught me what may be accomplished
by it, and how much good this simple
means may accomplish for us.
It cannot be expected to compass the
cure of extensive organic LESSONS of pull
monary tissue, tuberculosis, extensive pleu-
rite adhesion, etc. 1t is simply commend
ed for the class of cases above described,
and this is a very large class of our town
and city people, as all physicians very well
know.

A child, when asked why certain tree
grew crooked, replied: Somebody trod on
it, suppose, when it was little fellow"
How painfully suggestive is that answer
How many, with aching hearts, can re-
member the days of their childhood, when
they were the victims of indiscreet repres-
sion, rather than the happy object of some
kind direction and culture The effects
of such misguided discipline have been ap-
parent in their history and character, and
by no process of human devising can the
wrong be now rectifed. The grand error
in their education consisted in system of
rigid restraints, without corresponding eff
forts to develop, cultivate and train in a
right direction.

1T MIGHT HAVE BEEN.

Full often in our lives has come day
When, pausing where two paths divergent lay,
We pondered, deep and long which one to choose
Fearful that either followed, we might lose
The rare enjoyment of happy hour,
Or grateful incense of q fragrant flower,
Or glimpse of some fair land where shines the sun
On giant groves, and where the rivers run
Through furrowed fields, and through the shadowy
ranks
OF cypress trees that weep upon the banks
We fear to lose SO much; but knowing not
The changeful chances of our future lot,
We set out boldly on the chosen track,
And then so often comes the looking back,
The baffied strife our cherished goal to win,
The mournful, hopeless cry, at might have been.
Sometimes the soul, when with great sorrow wrung'
Recalls time, long fed, when lightly hung
The course of future years in Fates great scale
And sees how all unwit tingly, an influence frali
As m orning dews that on the grasses CLEAN
Destroyed the even balance of the beam
Unknown to us the deep decision made
And turned our path from sunshine into shade.
passing thought, a look, trihing deed;
word unspoken in an hour of need,
Or spoken when 7 were better left unsaid;
Some written line that we by chance have read
All these can shin the scene with subtle hand,
And round our tuLure urhW IN lrOu udiius
We never think that such little thing
Can ever such tremendous sequence bring
Until too late. and then we backward turn
The page that we have filled, and dimly burn
The light of other days in vain regrets
For opportunities gone by. The spirit frets
Against its destiny. and deep within
Our hearts we mourn for what we might have
BEEN"
All, soul ! look upward, trusting; kiss the rod,
And know there is no might have been" with God
From Him, whence lowly we draw near.
We learn of Love that casteth out all fear;
We find Faith that, i'll oblivious sea,
Whelms every dread and doubt eternally;
A Hope unfa1tering to us is given;
tender Charity, as broad as heaven;
perfect Peace calm untroubled Rest
Through these, all things seem right and best
We rise triumphant over death and sin,
All pain and sorrow in our joy forget,
And looking backward on our might have been''
