hurt, but the great mass of debris had
crushed down into the tunnel and, what
was worse, had opened up several
streams, which poured steadily down
and through the tunnel. The succeed
ing four months have been passed in
remedying this cave. 1t was difficult,
dangerous and tedious piece of work. A
shaft was sunk from above, and at the
same time the work of timbering from
below began. The roof of the tunnel is
of white sand, and the water melts it
down like sugar, so it is necessary to
thoroughly sOlidify the roof and walls
before the casing of concrete is put i'll
the work must be done from below and
the timbers removed as rapidly as solid
material is put in. But one or two men
can work at time, so the process is
naturally slow. The tunnel would have
been completed but for this accident,
and yet the accident could not have Oc-
Cured in a more fortunate place. A
very few feet further would have
railroad tracks and would have Oc-
casioned endless delay and difficulty.
There has been considerable comment
on the delay, but this will explain it.
The cut gives the best idea of the situa
ton at the break.
THE TUNNEL LINE.
The tunnel mouth is at the foot of
Eighth avenue south, and the line runs
up to Second street and from there
curves north to Sixth avenue. From
this point it was the intention to make a
straight shoot to Sixth avenue north, but
great howl Was raised two years ago
by the fear of WaShout if the tunnel
was so near the river; the course was
changed, the line turning to Fourth
street, and following that street
to its terminus at Sixth avenue
north. The average depth below the
surface is nearly 100 feet, and the line
runs beneath the limestone ledge that
frequently crops out above the surface.
just above and around the tunnel line
is depth of white sand or sand rock,
through which progress is rapid so long
as the sand is dry, but as a great
quantity of water has been
met with, the finest skill was
necessary to successfully casing the
tunnel and preventing the erosion of
the walls. For this purpose the tunnel
is frequently tapped for pipes and a
steady flow of spring water is met in a
dozen different places. At First avenue
north the line of the tunnel is raised
eight feet, the idea being to secure a
better quality of sand and escape the
water. Where the two lines join well
is sunk, which acts as cushion and
prevents the fall of water from wearing
out the stone foundation.
1t is conceded on all sides that the
tunnel is a remarkably fine piece of
work in every respect, and that it re-
fleets great credit ON Mr.. Sublette, the
engineer, and Mr.. Edwards, the super
intendent. Barring accidents, every
thing will be ready by Aug. l, at the
latest

A WIFE'S KISS,
There's the kiss pressed on the lips of the

There's the kiss pressed on the lips of the
child
OF lovers when parting at night;
The kiss of mother our sorrows beguiled,
Making the face CHEEKY and bright;
The kiss so silly of girls who meet,
Who so blissfully kiss in lieu;
But the kiss that lasts and makes life sweet
Is the kiss of the wife that's true.
Kisses in kind as countless as sands
Of friendship, betrayal deceit;
The kiss on the eyes, the forehead and hands,
The kiss that is awkward and neat;
The kiss that's giyen-the one we steal,
The kiss that awakes US all through;
But the sweetest kiss that lips can feel
Is the kiss Of the wife that's true.
There's the kiss Of youth and the kiss Of
years,
And the kiss we laid in the grave:
The kiss we press in sunshine and tears
The kiss for the brow of the brave;
But the kiss that is the kiss of life,
To him whom the gamut runs through
That brings surcease 10 anguish and strife,
Is the kiss of the wife that's true.

TWO GAY DECEIVERS.

In her mellow-lighted chamber,
ROBBED in shining silk she stands,
With dainty note from Charlie
In her white and jewelled hands.
Sweetest, fate tonight DEGREES it
That / shall not clasp thy waist,
Nor the dew of honeyed kisses
On thy lips of scarlet taste.
Friend is dying,
! am flying
To him-kisSes-Yours in haste"
Does she doff her silken garments9
Nay; she sets blood-red rose
On her breast, and gayly singing
To the garden gate she goes.
And the stars that twinkle slyly,
And the silver moon above,
They alone behold her rapture
When she meets her other lover.
Lips a-meeting,
Tender greeting,
"Henry, darling" mabel, dove"
Meantime Charlie breathes the perfume
Clinging to maiden's hair,
For his friend it is woman,
And woman fond and fair.
Neither is she i'll nor dying,
For her cheek is far from pale. 3
Further comment is not needed,
For, alas! too true the tale
Battered kisses,
Stolen blisses-
Reader, let us drop the veil!

Flowers in China.

The Chinese have passion for flowers.
You may see on the hundreds of canals
that cut up the country around Shang-
hal, boats, whose diney and miserable
appearance betokens the poverty, even
the beggary, OF their occupants; and
yet. near the stern, on the top of the saw
bang, or cooking canopy-the galley"
you will see from two to dozen pots
of flowers. Little Chinese girls nearly
always place a sprig Of some bright
flower in their glossy tresses of raven
black, and they sometimes show a good
deal of taste in the arrangement of their
nosegays.
just about the first of February, or
near the Chinese New Year, one may
see men and boys selling branches of q
small bush that bears yellow flower,
somewhat resembling the spice bush
flowers of Virginia. The flower has, to
Chinese, associations bright and pleas
ant as those that chung around the far
famed hawthorn that bloomed in old
England on 'sOld Christmas Day." You
can buy in the market for few chen or
cash a little fiower-pot with few bulbs
of daffodil in it, and by keeping it in the
window of your room soon have few
bright looking flowers The Chinese do
not plant in their parks such elaborate
flower beds as the Americans and Euro
peans, but they are very fond of poi
flowers. - Vick's Magazine.

Care Of a Horse.

The first thing in the morning, sup
posing that you are keeping q work
horse in the city, give him half or two
thirds of pail of fresh water to drink.
Then let him have his breakfast Of oats
and corn, as have already suggested.
After he has eaten give him as much
water as he wants to drink. At noon
give him the same amount as in the
morning, and repeat the quantity at
night. Before and after the noon meal.
as in the morning, water him and let
him have another half pail of water be-
fore his supper, but he need not have
any atterward at night. The last thing
at night leave him ten or fifteen pounds
of hay in his manger. During the hot
weather it will be well to water him in
the middle of the forenooa and again in
the middle of the afternoon. If you let
him have water frequently he will never
take more than is good for him, but If
You let him go too long without it he will
drink too much whsn he gets chance.
Be very careful never to give him big
drink of water when he is heated, and
never to let him have any water that is
very cold. Either would founder him.
and foundered horse is at least apt to
die. Too much water or food will cause
laundering.

The Louisville Post tells this Story
Louis Nevin, recently returned from Hot
springs, Ark, brought tarantula a.
present. Mr.. Nevin was at great
deal of trouble in catching the insect and
in bringing him to Louisville. II was
bagged in the wilds of the billy country
about Hot Springs. While Mr.. Nevin
had it in his possession he was quaran-
tined from his boarding house and had
to leave his pet in the woods to eat his
meals. He had highly exciting time
in getting the bug to Louisville. He
carried it in glass bottle with stopper
with air holes in it. While riding on
the narrow gauge road between Hot
Springs and Little Rock the stopper fell
out of the bottle, and following closely
after it came the tarantula. The coach
was full of passengers at the time, with
a large number of women and children
among them. Before Nevin had an
mixing of the spiders escape he saw it
in the middle of the car aisle. He tried
to recapture it without creating Guy
Juror, but the tarantula was bent on
little fun, and refused to be captured.
With masculine good taste he made
straight for the petticoats OF pretty
girl. The girl discovered him, jumped
upon the seat and gave the alarm. All
the women went promptly into Mysteries
and the men were thrown into state of
equal excitement The tarantula had
the car at his mercy for half an hour,
but was finally run into corner by his
owner and captured.

Where the ripples dimple ronnd the butter

Where the dusky turtle lies basking on the

And the ghosty dragon-fy pauses in his travel
To rest like blossom where the water-lily

anu CLOUDS OF dust
rolled up the avenues. 1t was, in the
city OF New York and the month was
March. Winter had really never taken
his cold hands off the weather, and it
was still bleak and raw.
A young man was rapidly walking
through side street that lay in the d.
rection of Broadway. Although it had
begun to rain he hal not put up his
umbrella. His eyes were gazing blank
" before him, and the muscles of his
mouth had a hard, drawn look. He was
slightly under the medium height, but
well made and graceful. He wore no
hair on his face, and his eyes were dark
brown. He had on soft felt hat that
rested lightly on a mass of black curls
He WIS what he looked to be-a musi-
clan. His name was Paul Bianchy, aud
he was recognized already by the few as
one of the rising artists. He had only
been year in the metropolis, but mora
than once his art had been exhibited in
the prominent music halls.
"Yes," said his critics, "his future is
assured if he goes on as he has begun. :"
What, then, was the cause of that look
of despair on his face? All, it was the
old story. The idol whom he had been
worshiping was broken, and he was left
with the scattered pieces. His dream
had ended. He had loved with all that
intensity which only those with keen
sensibilities can, and he had found that
friendship only could be given him in
exchange for the love he proffered.
His history was not an uncommon one.
He was, as his name implied, of foreign
descent. His father was teacher of
French and italian, and his early life had
been spent in one of the cities of cen
trail New York. While in Rochester
that was his birthplace-he had met Ma
bel bennington. A boy and girl friend
ship had resulted. With her it was no
thing more; with him it was the begin
ming of q passion that was to dominate
him completely. By change of fortune
the Normingtons moved to New York.
Bianchy followed them. Miss Mabel
became great favorite with society, and
soon plunged into its mad whirl In
deed it would have been strange if she
had not. To graceful figure, a pretty
face and graciousness of manner that
charmed every one, she added voice of
singular sweetness AS for Bianchv he
toiled ON at his art, and slowly but sure
ly began to climb the base of Parnassus.
His success had been above the average; ;
but only lately had he felt himself in a
position to honorably propose marriage.
He walked on in gloomy silence.
Crossing Broadway he entered Wash
ington Park. Pausing before an old
fashioned house facing the square he
assembled the steps and let himself in by
private latch-key. The house had
been once in the fashionable part of the
city, but now it had changed its in
mates, and its rooms were let out to
artists, musicians and literary men, some
of them successful, but the majority
very well able to stand more of fortunes
