Although Chinese and Japanese dig

Remarkable Engineering Feat.

A remarkable engineering feat has
lust been carried out in China in the
face of unusual physical obstacles. This
was the stretching of steel cable of

Mr.. A. de Linde, Danish civil en-
gineer, aided only by unskilled
Chinese labor. The cable il strung
from two points 46iS feet apart.
The height of one support is 447 feet
above the present level of the river and
the second support 7S1 feet above it.
The vertex over the water is IS feet.

A Valentine.

When azure skies confront the day,
And far and near the soft suns shine,
To live and breathe were simple joy
Perchanes one needs no Valentine.
But when the skies are full Of storm,
And lost in gloom the days decline,
The lonely heart sinks sad and chill
The heart that has no Valentine.
And shrinking from tn embodied death
or space beyond the farthest sign,
The spirit, frozen at its source,
Dreams Of no trivial Valentine.
Yet even then the sweet earth throbs
With sunbursts down her ancient line;
The snowflake promises a flower,
Tho snow-bird hints Valentine.
Away with carei This fragrant hair
Into true l;vers' knots l twine;
Those velvet lips bring Summer now
To me, my little Valentine!
A force of nature, as the moon,
Makes wide eclipse and dim design,
All the great sphere of sorrow you
Shut out from me, my Valentine!
You are trifle turned Of four,
And ANAL Of ninety mine;
But dark and drear as death were life
Hyou were not my Valentinel

first love keeps boarding place. She
is elderly and gray haired now and is
not strikingly handsome, but in her day
she was blithcsomc and pretty She was
the daughter ofa country storekecper.
Jay Gould, after leaving his fathers
farm, went to work in the store, and
promptly fell in love with the rosy
checked maiden. But the old man had
much higher views of his daughters
future than her marriage with young
man in his own shop would realize. He
not only gave young Gould to under
stand that a marriage was out of the
question, but dispensed with his ser
vices as we'll. Jay took his rejection
philosophically enough and gave him
self up to the work of making fortune.
While he was growing rich and richer
and piling million on million, his old
love was vainly trying to battle with
MISFORTUNE. Her father, who had
plumed himself so proudly on the
ownership of his general store,
failed; the husband whom she took

streets occupied by threatening
mob, number ing about II, ,oou. Tue governor
spoke from the balcony of the municipal

crowd drowned his voice with shouts, and
fired pistols and threw dynamite cartridges
at the soldiers. The troops were then or.

persed. Two soldiers were wounded Five
more civilians have died from their wounds,
