ON A SINKING BRIDGE.
A Train Breaks Down Bridge-A Mirac-
lous Escape.

LEBANON, y. H., April 3O.-EXpress
freight b, moving south over the Boston
Ind Lowell road, met with IA singular ac-
cident about two miles from here to-day,
while crossing a bridge. The heavy loco
motive Atlantic was drawing the train,
assisted by an engine in the rear over a
grade which is heavy Upon entering the
bridge the engineer felt the bridge giving
way. By the force of the assisting engine
in the rear the forward engine was driven
up the incline and through the bridge,
forward end high in air, and was de-
tached few feet from the end of the
bridge. Nearly all the cars which We're
heavily loaded, remained on the
track, sinking to the water with
the bridge which is complete
wreck. Engineer Emerson, brother OF the
one recently killed in the Andover acct
| dent, stuck to the engine till ditched re
ceiving slight injury. Fireman Leigh
ton who was acting in the same capacity
in the Andover accident, jumped as soon
as the engine cleared the bridge and es-
capped injury. Their escape was wonder
full and may be attributed to the fact that
the engine on the rear section forced them
through the bridge This accident neces-
states transfer of passengers and bag
gage about one mile, causing serious de-
| lay.

Paw of "a Cloak Model.

Tint all depends ON their shape, its sym
metry and adaptability to the business. The
woman who is of good height, weighs about
$50 pounds, has n bust measure of thirty-six
inches or little over, and is perfect in form,
receives SD II week to stand up from . O'Clock
in the morning until in the afternoon trying
on cloaks. She is receiving the highest price
and is the star model. She is always in de
mand, and has to do more, perhaps, than the
others. Ten dollars is about the average price
for cloak models. Some belong to the fitting
and others to the cutting department, and of
course the prices vary. Eight dollars n week
is a fair price, and few get under that per
week-New York Mail and Express.

The young bachelor who volunteered an
opinion as to the reason for a baby's smile,
and the summary justice which he received
at the hands of the baby's nurse, are well
known, but why the baby cries is matter
to which few men have any curiosity, pro
vided it is not too late to have an engagement
down town when the concert begins. The
Mothers Manual of Children's Diseases" ex-
plains the matter thus:
"Cries are the only language which a
young baby has to express its distress, "a
smiles and laughter and merry antics tell
without word its gladness. The baby must
be i'll, is all that its cries tell one person; aK
other, who has seen much of sick children,
will gather from them more, and will be ablo
to judge whether its sufferings is in the head
or chest stomach. The cries of baby
with the stomach ache are long and loud and
passionate; it sheds profusion of tears; now
stops for moment, and then begins again,
drawing up its legs to its stomach; and, as
the pain passes of, stretches them out again,
and with many little sobs passes off into a
quiet sleep. If it has inflammation of the
chest it does not cry aloud, it sheds no tears,
but every few minutes especially after draw
ing deeper breath than before, or after each
short, hacking cough, it gives a little cry,
which it checks, apparently, before it has half
finished, and this, either because it has no
breath to waste in cries, or because the effort
makes its breathing more painful. If disease
is going on in the head the child utters sharp,
piercing shrells, and then between whites u

Let Married Couples Beware.

The perfect frankneSs which should exist
between married couples must not be sup
posed to exclude the necessity for tact or IL
compel the utterancc of disagreeable truths.
All families are more or less faulty, and must,
in some way, jar ON the stranger admitted
within them. Their drawbacks are even
evident To their own members, and in the in
innate fTicndShipof married life these failings
may sometimes h. discussed: but let every
married couple beware of structures ON the
conduct, character, or even manners and APP
pcarancc of relations-in-law. The husband
may complain of his own family, and the
Wife may sympathize, but she must never
begin the subject, nor must she point out one
single additional flaw. In the same way the
husband must respect the wifc's susceptible
ties. However conscious we may I've of the
shortcomings of our own flesh and blood, we
all bristle like the fretful porcupine if we
hear our kindred attacked 10y anybody else,
and in this matter even marriage does not
cxtinguiSh all the natural emotions of family
ties -ENrhan1c.
