A Novel Bridge Test.

The old wooden bridge. known as
the Lower bridge. at Bridgeport,
Conn, which was built in 1881, has
been removed, and new one of mod
ern construction has taken its place
When the new bridge was completed
and ready TO be tested. the first test
was made with seventeen ton road
roller. The mayor of the city then
suggested to Mr.. p L. Barnum that
the test be further made by having
twelve OF his elephants pass over it.
These heavy animals. the aggregate
weight OF which was about thirty-five
tons, were led down and across the
bridge. The detection under this
weight, and that of the crowd which
was in attendance, was only one-eighth
of an inch. and the test was declared
satisfactory.-Bo Budget.

LlvERPOOL'S SLAvE-TRADE.


The Darkest Page in the History of En-
glands Great Commercial Fort.
The foundation OF the commercial
greatness Of Liverpool, and perhaps
the darkest page in her history, is her
connection with the slave trade. In
1909 the first Liverpool slave ship,
vessel OF thirty tons, carried cargo
OF fifteen slaves across the Atlantic.
The trade had been in existence for
some time, and in this country had
been mostly carried on in the Bristol
ships. Liverpool seems to have done
no more for nearly 20 years. But in
1870 there were Is ships engaged in
the trade and in l77l 1OS ships, which
carried %, 200 slaves. Liverpool stout
ly defended the slave trade, and its de-
Tense was not confined to individual
merchants and ship-owners, but was
considered public matter and was
taken up by the governing body OF the
town. The ground Of defense offered
may perhaps be summed up in the
words british interests" The fol-
lowing letter, quoted by Sir James
Picton in his Memorials OF Liver

reasoning employed by the de-

The Carelessness of Human Nature Profit
able to the Locksmith.
"For a guess, how many keys would
you say | made last year to fit locks
the keys to which had been lost?" was
the question put to man by a Bidde-
ford locksmith.
The person addressed guessed 200.
Twelve times two hundred" re-
piled the key maker. THAT number
doesn't include those that l have sold
with new locks, but only those made
from blanks to fit old locks 1t is sur
prising to know how many people lose
their keys. Every day somebody
comes in and wants a key duplicated
or lock fixed. Some drop their keys
out through holes in their pockets;
other leave them in their doors or post
office boxes, and lose them in that
way, and few that order duplicates
here complain of having mad their keys
stolen.
years ago there used to be sale
for old keys, and boys could pick up a
few coppers by stealing keys from peo-
pies houses and disposing OF them tC
junk dealers, but nowadays | guess il
would be hard matter to get rid Of
them.
.Carelessness is tho chief cause oil
people losing keys. The other day a
peddler called here at the store and
said he had lost his bunch of keys.
Every drawer and closet in his cart
was locked. and l spent half a
day fitting keys to them. ! believe
there were thirty in all. Often | have
calls for duplicate keys from boarding
house keepers who wish to provide
each boarder with means of getting
into the house at night. Sometimes
single families will want half dozen
keys to their front door. | make all
my keys from blanks which l buy in

was hushed now; the maestro had
no heart to take up his dearly
loved violin and play to soothe his sor
row, as he had done many years ago,
when his wife died and left his little
one behind. Heaven had given him
the gift of genius and had hidden him

and he had played together through
sickness and sorrow and success, ana
through all the changing scenes of
life they had been faithful friends.
They had just come back from the
crowded hall; the people said that never
before had the maestro played so beau
tifuliy and that never before had the
violin's voice sounded so nournful and
pathetic. Well, you SEQ. they did not
know the reason; but we do, for both

and how could their thoughts be any

said: ''Do not weep; sing to messing

father. and the evening has been SO
long without thee"
Then he rose and played to her, and
she closed her eyes and listened happi-
ly to CHRISTMAS voice. 1t sang a
song without words-the music alone
told the tale-of a pure young life, too
pure for earth, and therefore to be
taken away to that fair land where
only the good and pure and true
dwell. Yet it was hard to leave the
earth, harder still to leave the dear
ones behind. and to know that they
would be disconsolate; and here the
violin's voice sobbed and trembled as

"oh. play again!' Once more he
raised his bow on high. and the air re-

strain the child passed away with tho
