WOMAN.

Most fiatlered and least trusted of the race,
Dropt for whim and followed for face,
In presence sighted and in absence monrned
Their hearts. their characters, by men abused
Who never think their help should be refused
Seated by kings and tram pied in the mire,
The best and worst they equally inspire
Cursed for their weakness, hated when
they're strong;
Whatever happens, always in the wrong.
Tact is their genius. Add yet one thing
more
Woman is lost when woman proves a bore.

A Persian Midas.

When passing an Arabs tent / met
man from Shustcr, who related several
anecdotes to me, among which was the
following version of the story of Midas
and his ass's ears. King Shapur had
horns, of which he was greatly ashamed
Fearing that his subjects might learn
the fact and that his dignity might be
thus compromised, he ordered every
barber who shaved his head to lie put
to death Immediately afterward, so that
the secret might not transpirc. At
length one who was about to experience
this fate succeeded in pcr5uading tho
king to spare his life. and to employ no
ono else, so that the secret, which he
took solemn oath not to reveal, might
remain with him alone. For three
years he kept his oath, but at last, the
secret becoming too heavy a load
for him to bear to release himself from
it he went to the mouth OF well and
called out: 80, we'll Know that
King Shapur has horns" Shortly after

reed growing at its edge to make him

time he played upon it, instead of music
there only came from it the words:

The king soon learned that his secret
had been betrayed and sent for the bar
Der, who confessed that although he
had divulged it to no one, according to
his oath, he had hcen compelled in con-
sequence Of the intolcrable burden Of
keeping it to deliver himself Of it at the

Engineering Extraordinary.

A curious engineering operation has
just been carried out in France near the
Belgian frontier. Near the town of
Condo the river Hainc, navigable
stream, flowed until recently into the
larger river Schcldt. The latter stream,
near the mouth of which is the great soa-
port of Antwerp is of much importance
to inland navigation, and the shallower
portions have recently been "canalized"
by means of cmbankments, so as to i'm
prove and maintain the waterway. In
canaIizing the Scheldt, it was found adj
visable to allow the Hainc to cross it,
reaching different outfall beyond, in
stead of losing itself in it at the original
confluence and the dikes were arranged
in this way. Experience showed, how
ever, that the Haine brought down so
much alluvium as to affect sensibly the
channel of the Scheldt at the intersoc-
ton, and drcdges were kept in almost
constant use to keep the navigation clear.
To obviato the necessity for this, it was
decided to carry one river entirely under
the other by means of inverted siphons,
and the work has just been COM
plcted. Five riyeted wrought-iron
tubes are used, each II feet in diameter,
dipping about ten feet below the usual
water level and buried in a mass Of con-
crete, which is formed to the profile of
the bed Of the Schedt. Each siphon was
made in three pieces, the middle portion
weighing twenty tons and the end pieces
ten tons each, and, after divcrting tenn
porarily the course of both rivers, the
tubes were laid in place, rivetcd to-
gcther, and the concrete filling put in.
At the same time the tubes were lined
with a ring of brickwork covered with
cement, and when all was finished the
water was turned through them. What
will be done with the silt which is sure
to collect in the lower part Of the siphon
does not appear, but it is probable that
some simple apparatus will he used for
extracting it, and there is in this case no
navigation to be looked out for.

cred with feathers of the chickens and
turkeys, with here and there bone of
our poor old COW. In one end of the
stable eleven wolves were huddled up,
glaring at me with their big yellow
eyes and snarling with great open bloody
mouths, but they didn't spring at me;
somehow they appeared to- know they
were prisoners, and that they couldn't
get out, and all their courage seemed to
have left them. Well, I went back to
the house, determined to get the bull
let out of the gun and to shoot them all,
but it was stuck so tight that couldn't
move it; and, in fact, didn't get it out until
Uncle Jimmy came back, four days later,
when he soon made short work of the
brutes.
'Now, there was something strange
in the action of the wolves after they
were fastened up. From that time in
til Uncle Jim's arrival they didn't touch
the remains of the COW, nor did they
leave the corner of the stable where |
first saw them after had fastened them
in, so far as l could tell. Uncle jim
shot them all and skinned them, and in
the spring got the bounty for their
scalps and sold the hides for enough to
buy another COW and lot of poultry.
That was the only time the wolves ever
made wholesale raid on us although
they often afterward stole one sheep,
pigs and small stock. - Cincinnati En-

Ter to the trouble arising from quick
sands. From western Kansas to the
mountains quicksands are to found in
nearly every stream, no matter how
small, and to successfully bridge them
required an expenditure out Of all ro-
portion to tho size OF stream to be
crossed. We tried pile driving, hut the
longest piles disappeared without touch
ing the bottom. Then filing with earth
and stone was attempted, and met with
equally poor success, as the quick
sand was apparently capable OF
swallowing the entire Rocky mountains.
The only means of crossing a quick
sand was found to be to build short
truss bridges across them. This was
very expensive, but was the only thing
to be done AS an instance of the prac-
tically bottomlc3s nature of the quick
sands, / may cite the case of an engine
that ran off the track at River Bend,
about ninety miles from Denver, on the
Kansas Pacific. The engine, large
freight, fell into quicksand, and in
twenty minutes had entirely disap-
peared. Within two days the company
sent out a gang of men and a wreckiag
train to raise the engine. TO their sur
prise they could not find trace Of it.
Careful search was made, magnifed
rods were sunk to the depth of sixty
feet, but no engine could be found. 1t
had sunk beyond human ken, and
from that day to this has never
been discovered. Cattle and horses
are frequently lost, tho only ami

which it avoids all unsound bottom.
AS its hoofs are much smaller and
narrower than those of horse, 1T would
mire down in places where horse could
safely pass. Recognizing this fact,
whenever a mule feels the ground Civ
ing away under its feet it draws back
instantly and cannot be induced to
advance step, although whole drove
of horses may have Immediately pre-

is stupid are very much mistaken. -
