MY WIFE,N RRIDGE

At Toxic. Japan, is a fine bridge
called Adzuma-Bas - Ny Wife's
bridge. The name has a romantic orr
gin. A brave general who had quelled
a rebellion in another part of the EN-
pire, was Fastening home on account of
the receipt of a message that his wife
was dangerously i'll. On the last day
of his hurried journey, he found his
course barred by a bridgeless river. and
when, after long and anxious waiting,
he managed to find a boat to cross in,
he was met by messengers bearing the
sad tidings that his dearly loved wife
had just died, before he could arrive to
press her hand, for the last time and say
adieu. @NIy wife could not wait for
me" was all the stoical warrior would
trust himself to say as he stood there
as if frozen by the shock. His sovereign,
touched with compassion for the blow
that had fallen upon him while away
fighting for his country. ordered q
bridge to be built at the spot and
named it Adzuma-B Basin. But the peo-
pie say it cost the monarch only $24,
since q lot of paper money was manu-
featured especially to pay for il.

WALKING IN A CIRCLE.

Writing of sporting in Canada, Mr..
Rowan insists upon the necessity of car.
rying a pocket compass. Without one
no n can keep straight course when
the sky is overcast.
The tendency on these occasions is to
walk in circles. It is very annoying,
but by nj means unusual, to find ones
self after two hours hard walking at the
exact spot one started from. Indeed, I
have completed my circle in half an
hour when lost in the woods without .
compass. Ihave remarked, too, that I
almost invariably trend to the right,
not to the left. and, OF comparing notes
with other @bush-whackers,n I find that
I am not singular in this respect. Can
it be that the left is generally the bette,
leg Of the two, and takes, impercepti-
bly,, the long stride?

sometimes You CAN'T Always Te1l.

A wise man says: "A young man used
hardly and roughly will be tougher
man in the end. He will go into the
fire iron and come out steel" That de-
pends great deal on whether he does or
not. And that, again, depends largely
on what the young man is when he goes
in. If he is simply bass wood, and the
very best quality of bass wood at that,
when he goes in, he goes in for good.
He doesn't come out anything. don't
know where he goes, but he doesn't
come out again. 1t won't do to put all
young men into the fire. Unless the
tempering process be considered good
way to get rid of them. And then when
you put the young man of iron into the
fire you don't want to keep him there
too long, or you'll spoil him. Iron will
burn as we'll as bass wood. if you keep it
on the fire long enough. How long
shall you keep him in then?" Oh, bless
you; how do know? Ask the wise man,
he began it. - Burdette in Brooklyn

He hesitated one moment. 1t was the
first time since he entered the service,
nearly five years before. that an officer
offered him his hand 1t was new and

there were other reasons. Gwynne

Goethe as Host.

In his last years Goethe had become
monosy Liable and serious and was also
at times very forgetful One afternoon
a hussar from Weimar came riding rap
idly into Jena and drew bride at the
door of the professor This hussar was
the bearer of a note from Goethe to Voigt
in which the doctor was pressingly in
vited to come to Goethe that same even
ing, and it was added that carriage
would come for Voigt in about an hour.
Voigt naturally gladly obeyed the sum-
mons and was driven to Weimar to wait
upon the poet. Arrived at Goethe's well
known room Voigt found there, in adj
dition to Goethe himself, Reimer, the
poets secretary; Eckermand, afterward
the poets Boswell, and one or two other
men whose names are unrecorded
They were all sitting around a table
and Goethe wore green shade over his
axna----A4o-0nv spoke word, but each
man had before him bottle of red wine.
Voigt wished to announce himself and
to inquire what were his excellency's
commands, but Reimer whispered to him
quietly. "Hushl Excellency is thinking.
Silence again settled down upon the
party and the men slipped their wine
noiselessly At last, at 10 p. m.. the
party broke up, Goethe dismissing his
friends with his usual formula, Il wish
my friends a good night. The next
morning excellency could remember
nothing about the invitation to Voigt.
Some idea must have crossed the poets
mind which made him desirous of seeing

Not Necessary to Be a Crank.

Many seem to be possessed with the
idea that man cannot take care of his
health without worrying about it and
making himself constantly unhappy for
fear that he will do something he ought
not to do. Never was there more err
roneous opinion. A person who takes
rational care of his body does not neces-
sarily become crank or so notional that
it makes every one uncomfortable to live
with him, but just the reverse. He
should become more interesting, more
intelligent and inspired by higher ideas,
and be more delightful companion
