A BRIDGE.
The Novel Proposal Made By n Well
known Swedish Engineer.

Nh'"h -" ''i'i fshGth'tI'
A proposal recently brought for
ward by Herr Rudolf Lilljeqvist, Il
Swedish engineer, for eifecting perma.
nent railway communication between
Sweden and Copenhagen, merits some
notice, as introducing a new mode
never as yet, however, put to the test
of actual cXpcricnce-of carrying g
line beneath the sea.
The distance between Elsinore and
llelsingborg is about two and Il hall
miles; and the passage is frequently
blocked in winter by ice, preventing
navigation. The cost Of an ordinary
bridge, which would Of necessity have
to be carried sufficiently high above
sea-level to offer no impeachment &c
vessels, would DO prohibitive in d
country but sparsely populated and OF
limited financial resources; whilst the
additional strength requisite in the
piers to withstand damage to the
structure from the floating blocks OF
ice would add very materially to the
estimates.
The proposal put forward is to con.
struct an ordinary girder bridge OF one
hundred feet spans, and sink it to such
a depth that ample room is left for YES
sells of the greatest draught to sail
over it; the bridge being encased in
cy lindrical tubes, which exclude
the water; the outer skin OF
the tube being of iron, that
inside of steel, the space between
being filled with concrete. The tubes
inclosing the bridge are to be carried
on ordinary caisson piers filled with
concrete and spaced one hundred feet
apart, pontoOns similar to those 50
successfully employed in the construc-
tion of the Tay bridge being adopted
for founding.
The bridge, which is to cary a
single line of railway, with foundation
and encasing tubes, but exclusive Of
the land approaches, is estimated TO
cost about three-quarters of Il million
sterling.
The scheme may be described as an
ingenious compromise between an or
binary bridge and a tunnel; and it il
claimed that it combines the advan'
tages of each, whilst avoiding tho at
tendant drawbacks of construction,
and heavy outlay involved in the ex'
ecution of either in this particular
case.
The general idea, it may be added
is not altogether novel, and has pre-.
viously been mooted; indeed, some
years back a similar method Of passing
under the Thames was proposed ant
commenced, some lengths Of the en-
casing tube being actually put in hand
The project, however, was abandoned
owing, it is understood, to fnancia
difficulties, and has never been resus
citated. Chambers journal.

COLTS AND CALVES.


Come in the Fall.
For growing stock grass is recog-
nized as one OF the cheapest and best
OF feeds. Not that it is in all cases a
complete food, but during the growing
season it can be used to good advan-
tage as a principal food. And in the
management of the farm stock it is
quite an item to get the largest
amount of benefit from the grass,
either by pasturing or soiling.
Calves and colts, in the first few
months of their existence, must de-
pend almost, If not wholly, upon milk.
1t matters little during this tins
to them, at least, whether their dams
are pastured upon grass or fed hay
and grain in the stable, provided the
quantity and quality are such as to
enable them to furnish a full supply
of milk. But when they are ready to
wean then it becomes u question of
considerable interest, as they will
grow and develop, usually, in proper
ton to the quality and quantity OF the
food supplied.
One Of the principal advantages in
having the colts and calves come in
tho fall rather than in the spring is
that, by the time they are ready to
wean in the spring, the grass will have
made n sufficient growth to furnish
considerable food, and they will be
able to- make their first six months
growth, after weaving, upon grass
rather than upon dry hay or fodder
and grain, In counting the cost
Of preparing an animal for
market, the period of weaving
is usually considered the proper time
for beginning the account, and in a
majority of cases it will lessen the
cost considerably If grass a be made
the priacipal food for the first six
months. With the cows another item
can be added. Whether marketed as
milk or made into butter the milk is
Of more value during the winter than
in the summer; and, after calving, the
cows will give the largest quantity O
milk, at least for five to six months,
and this can be secured with little, i
my more expense, during the winter
than in the summer.
So far as possible all the stock OF
the farm should be kept in u goot
thrifty condition, and il this is done
the cost of feeding is but little, II any
more during the winter, whether o
large or a small quantity of milk il
supplied.
With the brood mares it is usually
, expected that enough work can b.
done by them to pay at least for theil
!, keep, and yet it is an item to get thi'
| work at a time when IL q be used Il
, the best advantage. On most farm
: this will be found to be in the spring
when the work of seeding and plant
. ing, as well as OF c~ultivating is gen
. orally most pressing. And by having
' tho colts come in the fall more work
' With less risk, can DO secured than
r they com in the spring, and in add
[ tion there Is better food for thei

PRINCESS AND PAUPER.


Strange Yicissitudes of the widow of n
Roumanian Prime Minister.
A Princess and the widow of a ccle-
brated Prime Minister has just ex-
pircd at Gratz, as an inmate Of the
city almshouse. Twenty years ago
the fame of Princess Marie Ghyka's
beauty extended from the shores of the
Danube to the banks of the Seine.
Napoleon III. was one Of her most
f@erycnt admirers, and there are doubt
less many Of those who took part in
the festivities at the Tuileries and at
st. Cloud during the closing years of
the Empire who will recall to mind the
grace and loveliness of the wife of the
Roumanian Premier.
A Tyrolese by birth, and OF humble
~parentage, she had first attracted the
Princes attention while acting as
governess to the children of a wealthy
noblcman at Bucharest. Finding that
as in the case of the Empress Eugene,
1.-THE only road TO her heart led through
the chapel" he married her, much to
the Indignation of his relatives. The
latter obtained their revenge in
1872, when the Prince died very
suddenly and unexpectedly, leay-
ing his affairs in the most terrible
confusion. BY dint of an immense
amount of bribery and Of political in
lucnce the unfortunate widow was de-
prived of any participation or benefit
in her husbands estate. Finding her.
self penniloss, she in a moment Of
recklessness and despair forgot what
was due to her rank and station, and
gave way to thG~temptation which her
beauty caused to be held out to her
from every side. She lived in turn
with several Of the best known mem
bers of the Austrian "~jeunesse doree."
Dissipation and increasing years
caused her charms to fade, and a
couple of years ago she was found
starving in a tenement house of the
| suburbs here. A small sum of money
was collected in her behalf and aroom
secured for her in the almshouse at
Graft, where she has just expired.
Among those who lavished their
wealth on her, and who ruined them
selves for her sake-while her beauty
still lasted-was an Italian named
Morolli, who was stated at the time
here to have acquired in New York the
fortune which he spent on her
Vienna Letter.

Some of her long, green feathers
were lying about the room, and she
limped as she walked across the floor
toward me from a corner of the ROOM.
First she would laugh and then cry,
saying incoherently:
"a won't Poor Biddy! Biddy wants
her breakfast! Ha. ha! 8iddy's a
worm! Ha, ha! I'm the mayors lady!
Get ont! Ra-a-a-gs! Ra-a-ags
to buy! Nice, fresh bandn', ten cent a
doz! Ha, ha! Fine day, sir! He, hee,
hae! Poor Biddy!'
She was quite beside herself with
excitement and with citation over her
victory, for it was evident that she
had put to rout some midnight ma
raudcr.
A window of the room leading TO a
small piazza was open wide, and there
were bloody linger-marks on the white
paint of the window sill.
The three chairs in the room were
overturned, Biddy's cage was on the
floor, and there was an old SLOUGH hat
in the center of the room; and, most
convincing OF all, there was a tuft Of
reddish-brown hair in Biddy's beak,
and in a corner the wig from which it
had come as she pulled it from the in
vader's head.
There was no doubt that the room
had been entered by II burglar and
Biddy had g~allantly shown fight. In
his efforts to seize and silence her in
the darkness, the invader had evident
ly been severely punished, and had
finally fed the field as her screams
continued and the danger Of detection
became greater.
Jane came down stairs, and we went
back to mothers room, taking Biddy
with us, and sat up the remainder OF
the night listening to Biddy's ram
bliugs, for she talked and laughed al
ternatoly until d~aybreak, and, having
heard me say them, her pet words for
many days were:
"Biddy whipped the BURGLAR Biddy
whipped the burglar! Hnrah for Bid
dy!'-Ienas Dane, in Golden Days.

Faint heart never won lady fair; nip and tuck;

1T TELLS YOUR AGE.



The latest drop-a-nickel-in-the-
slot" machine to make its public APP
pearance is adevice calculated to make
the unenlightened observer believe
that the evil one is behind it al. tits
a neat little nickel-plated instrument,
set up on a polished wooden pedestal'
and will tell any mans age-and any
woman's too-with an invariable ac-
curacy that is startling. The instru-
ment itself is about twelve inches high,
and in its face are set six verified rows
of figures, running in an uneven, ierky
way, from five to eighty. Over each
column is Il sort of little piston rod,
with a Hat metal top.
The printed directions tell you to
drop your nickel in the slot, then
press your foot hard down on a little
pedal that projects from the base of
the pedestal. This done you are in
structed by a little printed slip which
pops out just beneath the figures to
press with you fingers the piston rod
over each of the columns which con-
tains two figures of your age. Thus,
il you are twenty-six years old, say,
you find that number in one of the
columns and press down the rod. In
mediately there pops into view the
figure s. You look for another column
with 26 in it, press the rod and the
figure 10 comes quickly out. Then
you find another 26 in another column,
press the rod and another s is the re.
suit. Add 8, 10 and s together and
you discover that you are t~wenty-six
years old. 1t is very simple, and il
you are honest with it the machine
never fails.
The arrangement of the figures sc
that the age of u guesser may be dis
covered is a very old scheme, but i
has never before been mechanical,
developed.-N. Y. Times.
