laugh. 1T is only young artist,

''Humphl" Lord AlphingtOn eiacu-
lated.
AS he turned from the compacent
marion. he caught sight of the Tefec-
ton of Bertha's face in mirror. She
had moved away, unaware Of the treach-
erous looking-glass. Her cheeks were
still flushed, and tears trembled =. her
eyes. Lord AlphingtOn perceived that
there was something wrong with his
fayOrite, Bertha, and not unnatnrally
connected with it the name that had
just been mentioned. lie, tender
hearted as he was, could not bear to
think Of that sweet girl as unhappy-he
had before noticed that she was thin
ner and palcr than when he had met
her ut the Larches. He had no great
faith in any opinion expressed by his
grandson; moreover, the idea Of like
ness to his lost son interested him
greatly. He thought he should like to

asked Mrs Dalton.

me his address?'' said Lord AlphingtOn.

saw landscape that took my fancy, L
should like to purchase it to fill a recess

Mrs. Dalton, always good natured,
gave the required address with feeling
of pleasure. Lord Alphington wrote
it down in his pockct-book, and there
the subject dropped, being superseded
by others more interesting to the ma
jorty of the party.

Ancient Bridges in China.


The Chinese suspension bridges. dating
from the time of the Han dynasty GOO b.
{. to 300 A. d. furnish striking evidence
OF the early acquaintance Of the Chinese
with engineering science According to
the history and geographical waters of
China, it was Shang Iieng the commander
of the army under kaeu Tsu, who under
stood the construction of the roads in the
province of Shenese. to the west of the
capital, the high mountains and deep
gorgeS of which made communication diff
hcult, and which could be reached only by
circuitOuS routes. At the head of an army
of 10000 wOrkmen, Shang Lieng cut
through mountains. and filed up the valleys
with soil obtained from the excavations
At other places, where the mountains We're
separated by deep gorges, he carried out
a plan of throwing suspension bridges
stretching from one slope to the other.
These bridges, appropriately called by
the Chinese flying bridges are some
times so high as to inspire those who cross
them with fear. At the present day there
is still bridge in existence in Shenese 400
feet long. which stretches across a gorge of
immense depth. Most of the bridges are
only wide enough to allow the passage of
two mounted men, railing ON both sides
serving for the protection of travellers 1t
is not improbable that the missionaries
who first reported the Chinese bridges two
centuries ago gave the initiative to the
construction of suspension bridges in the
west.

Three Centuries of Rec,

A Munich letter in the New York Trib-
une says: Yesterday the entire city was
in state Of turmoil and uproar in honor
of the tri-centennial anniversary of the
foundation of the Hofbrauhaus or Royal
brewery. 1t was established the 9th of
September. 1889, by Duke William of
Bavaria, and has become one of the in
dustries of the country. No one who has not
visited Munich can form any idea of the
grimy. dingy tavern IN which the Royal
court, beer has been retailed for the last 300
years and which forms part of the Ate
HOf, as the ancient palace of the dukes of
Bavaria Is called. There are no walters or
mattresses, every body being expected to
attend to his own wants 1t is common
sight to see colonies, and even generals, in
full uniform take their places in line, often
behind Il ChImney-sweep or a sCavenger,
and wait their turn for Il stone mug. and
then proceed to rinse it themselves at the
tank before again forming i'll line for the
purpose of having it filed. Then they take
their places at the rough deal tables. which

and purchase from the vendors present
slices of wurst and of schwarzbrOd. 1t will
naturally surprise most people that greet
personages should be ready to put up with
much trouble and discomfort for the sake
of a NEAR mug of beer. A draught of the
latter, however, is all that is required by
way explanation. The brew is truly royal
and in every way worthy of the ancient dy-
nasty of Wittiesbach, which produces it.
No where else in the world is it possible to
obtain such beer. the recipe for which was
obtained by the ducaI founder from the
famous brewer Degernberg and has been
kept state secret ever since The net
profit of the Hofbrauhaus the beer being
sold only at retail and to be drank on
the premises amounts to about $500 000or
81 ,0OO. 900 per annum. and constitutes an
important source of private revenue to the
reigning sovereign of Bavaria.
