there were few hard crackers on the
shelves and an abundance OF salt pork
and these he dovoured greedily, not
forgetting the dog.
Then he again crawled into the mar

other hour. possibly two, dragged by.
Then his pick broke through the crust
and current of cold air, accom-
panied by bath OF sunshine, poured
in on him.

DARING ENGINEERING.
The Feat of Renewing tho Niagara Fa
auepeuaion urldrc.


Suspension bridge.
The Niagara Falls railway suspen-
sion bridge carried successfully a heavy
traffic for twenty-six years. IL was
then found that some repairs TO the
cable were required at the anchorage.
These repairs we're made and the
anchorage was substantially rein
forced. At the same time IL was found
that the wooden suspended suporstruc-
ture was in bad condition, and this
was entirely removed and replaced by
a structure OF iron, built and adjusted
In such a manner at TO secure the best
possible results. For some time it had
boer noticed that the stone towers
which supported the great cables OF
the bridge showed evidence of disin-
tegration at the surface, and careful
expineering examination in 1885
showed that these towers were in a
really dangerous condition. The
reason for this was that the saddles
over which the cables pass on the top
OF the towers had not the freedom OF
motion which was required for the
action OF the cables. caused by differ
cnce OF temperature and by passing
loads. A most interesting
and successful feat was accomplished
In the substitution OF iron towers for
these stone towers without interrupt
ing the traffic across the bridge. This
has been accomplished very recently
by building skeleton iron tower out
side the stone tower and transferring
the cables from the stone TO the iron
towers by means OF an ingenious ar
rangement OF hydraulic jacks. The
stone towers were then removed.
Thus, by the renewal OF its suspended
structure and the replacing Of its
towers. the bridge has been given a
new lease OF life and is In excellent
condition to-day.
This Niagara railway suspension
bridge has been so long in successful
operation that IL is difficult now TO APP
preciate the general disbelief in the
possibility OF its success as a railway
bridge when IL was undertaken. II
was projected and executed by the late
John A. Roebling. Before IL was fin
isbed Robert Stephenson said to him,
''If your bridge succeeds, mine (the
Victoria tubular bridge at Montreal) is
n magnificent blunder.n The Niagara
bridge did succeed. -Scribncr' Maga-

THE CORONATION STONE.
A Rough Block on which Many English
Sovereigns Have Been Crowned.

l a Rough Block on which Many English
Sovereigns Have Been Crowned.
The Coronation Stone OF England is
I a rough block Of stone placed inside OF
a chair in Westminster Abbey. This
block was originally the coronation
stone Of Scotland, and was taken by
Edward /. when he forced his rulo
over the Scottish people, and was by
him brought 10 England as trophy Of
victory, and built in the chair In which
il now IS. Since then all English SOW
ercigns have been crowned upon II,
and previous % its transfer, the Scot
tish rulers had been crowned upon IL
for probably many hundred years
This is the sum total OF the authentic
history Of the stone, but tradition had
I prefxed TO this brief outline an ex-
tended chapter OF events. This says
! that a Creek, named Gathelus, married
/ Scotia, daughter Of the Egyptian
King, Pharaoh Of the Exodus. After
the destruction OF the Egyptians in the
Red Sea, the Greek Prince fed with
his bride, and the remnant who had
escaped drowning, 20 Southern Spain,
and founded a kingdom at Briganuum,
the modern CompOstella. Ho had
royal chair made, carved from stone,
and this was guarded with much care
by his descendants, who believed Il 10
be the means Of insuring sovereignty
10 their race. This tradition
was further amplihed by the
story that the stone in question
was identical with the stone on which
Jacob rested his head on the plain OF
Luz. which had been carried by the
Hebrews 10 Egypt, and guarded By
them with feryent care. Al a date
which can not be placed except by con-
lecture, a descendent Of Gathelus took
this stone 20 ireland, and a long line Of
Irish Kings were crowned upon II.
About three hundred b. G., Fergus, the
Irish King who conquered Scotland,
transferred the stone 10 his new do
minions. Some time later Il was
placed In the abbey Of Scone, where Il
remained until taken away by King Ed
ward, as previously stated. Itis called
the "Stone OF Destiny" and the
prophetic Stone" from a popular
belief that it's removal would bring
ruin upon the Scottish Nation. Ed
ward, no doubt, thought that this SUI
perstitlon would aid In weakening the
assistance Of the people when the stone
had been removed, but the heroism and
determination Of Robert Bruce proved
the prophecy false one. As for the
Irish coronation stone, called by Irish
Lords the Liza Fail, the above tradition
seems 70 identify II with the stone Of
Westminster Abbey. Tho secret OF
the Fenian oath Is said 10 By the ros-
toration Of this Liza Fail 70 Ireland.
For there Is still a similar stone on the
Hill OF Tara, ireland, near the site Of
an ancient Irish palace-that OF the
Kings Of Tara. Aud from the fact that
the geological structure Of the Scottish
stone Is altogether the same as that Of
the iUcis In tho vicinity Of Scoae. and
has no resemblance whatever 70 the
rocky formations Of Tara. Egypt, or
Bethel, Il has been decided that the

Dangers in Married Life.

Tho number OF divorces and separa-
tions occurring in different periods Of
married life tells its own story plainly,
clearly. The blending OF two lives.
tho harmOnizing OF two different
temperaments, the adjustment Of per-
sonal incompatibilities In marriage Is
thing Of time In true love-mar-
riages the parties have, al least, good
start, and IL counts for much In fnvor
Of happiness. But, even I'm marriage
OF love, based on esteem, there is
more or less Of disillusion, especially,
perhaps, 10 the wife. and, when the
glamor is gone, danger 10 the family
begins. II Is then that the sense OF
duty Is all In all TO the welded pair.
II they remember for while that, IN
marriage, love Is sworn duty, they
will, by and by, have less need 20 re-
member IT. The first five years Of
marriage are dangerous; tho second
lustrum Is still more dangerous; and
the moral rents and strains which
lead 10 subsequent disaster arc apt 10
take place during those first ten peril
Gus years. As time goes on, the
danger lessons, and, perhaps, we may
believe that happiness, more real, e
less exuberant and buoyant, Is In
creased Tho last years Of married
life are, probably, the best. Even the
last years Of marriage. as the French
statistics show, may end In turmoil,
but not, we think, unless there has
been turmoil all along The habit OF
happiness and peace Is not likely 20
be broken up after thirty years OF
dutiiul behavior. -The ChVrchDlan.

the outer air.
Here he strapped the snow-shoes 10
his feet. Then, placing the shovel and
pick on his shoulder, began working

WHAT'S this nervous trouble with
which so many seem now TO be af
flicted If you will remember few
years ago the word Malaria was com
paratively unllnown-to-day it is as
common as any word in the English
language, yet this covers only the
meaning Of another word used by
our fore-tathers in times past. SO it
is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are intended to cover what
our grandiathers called Biliousness,
and all are caused by troubles that
arise from diseased condition of the
Liver which in performing it's func-

bile through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the
system, causing nervous troubles.
