The problem of getting passengers and
freight from New York to Jersey City. and
vice versa, by some better method than fer
riaao has long stared the officers of railroads
crnterlns in Jersey City in the face. Several
ynars ago there was On attempt made to tun-
rci under the river, but tho tunnel cavcd III,
the flood swept through, and large nuinfr:r
Of workncu wero drowned. Divers who
walk about On the bottom occasionally STUN
tl" on one Of the cavities formed by the disas-
ter but beyond this nothing Of the celebrated
North river tunnel ever appears to the eye Of
human beings.
The successful building Of tho East river
bridge between New York and Brooklyn has
led engineers to dare to attempt greater
work That bridge, which was ten years in
btilding, has since its COMPLETION been one Of
the wonders Of the word. People sailing
untcr it look up with admiration to its lofty
towers, its graceful framework its rnyriads
Of wires from n distance resembling spider
lines, its Immense breadth of span. Thisspan
covers Il distance from tower to tower Of
,t,a'i feet, Il distance Of four blocks Of
about 400 fe~t each. The passage way ez-
tends over the tops Of houses to distance Of
$40 feet from each tower Hundreds Of
craft, includins the great Long Island sound
steamers and ships with tho tallest masts,
pass under it every day. Vet the inhabit-

Tho reason for the slipshod English which
defaces Rider Haggard's novels lies in the fact
that he never rewrites story before sending
1t to the press. The printer receives his orig
inal manuscript, upon which appear very
few corrections OF eresures Tho greatest
genius in tho world could not produce TN
ished literary work under such conditions,
and no novelist who had high ideal before

born IN the llumblest walk of life, was but
little educated, and remained practically q
peasant to the last While writing diplomatic
letters to czar and emperor, whom he ad-
dressed as "Dear Cousin" President Herben-
stein lived in a Iittlo brick tavern, dressed in
coarse woolens, and his most extravagant

Gla,lstont's Secret Of Health.

It is reported that Mr. Gladstone ascribes
lis splendid health and longevity, says Tie
Sanitary Era, to having early learned tho
simple physiological lesson, namely, to mako
twenty five bites ut every bit of meat. AL
though the twenty five bites might not make
any impression on the meat in some cases,
the interesting process OF counting in every
mouthful must be n species of ru1nination
very diverting to the mind, and congenial to
tho statistical Lent of tho great treasury

BIG CITY HOTEL.

Charles Dickens, while travelling in Amer
ica, gave some pen pictures of American
hotels which created great deal of ami
mostly against him. But it was all age OF
quick improvement in hotels in America,
aud what Dickens described. even il cor
rectly, soon passed away, at least in cities.
But it doesn't require very old person to
remember the day when dnrky would
rush through hall changing n dinner bell,
making noise enough to call the neighbors
for half mile. What was the necessity for
such deafening catter is not apparent, since
most of tile guests were waiting the first
slight tinklo Of tho bell, and rushed pell-mell
into the dining room before the darky had
time to ring It, Dickens has given us soma
of tho best pictures we have Of the English
inn Of that period aud has left an inerasable
portrait OF the English groom. the "boots"
Of former days, in Sam Weller. Indeed.
there is many picture throughout Dickens
works Of inn comfort that almost causes one
to regret that the cory English receptacle for
travellers does not exist today,

1850 is the American hotel of today, Tho
Astor house in New York was one OF the first

One of the Grentest of Its Kind in tho
World-Tho Paintings of the Old Masters
and Antiquities 5000 Years Old.
A strong effort is being brought to bear on
tho officers in control Of the Metropolitan
Museum Of Fine Arts, in New York city, to
allow that splendid institution to remain open
on Sundays This is upon tho plea that there
is very large class of people in the great
city on whom the fact that they have to earn
their bread during the si1 working days of
tho week does not weigh sufficiently to crush
out their interest in such magnificent treas
urcs of art as are contained i'll tho Metro
poltan museum.
The Metropolitan museum, since its re-
opening and tho completion Of its new build
ing, contains tho finest and most complete
collection of art exhibits in the several depart
1nents that is to be seen on this sido OF the
Atlantic. 1t ranks well with tho old cstab
lisliel collections of tho Old World Many of
its treasures wo,lll be quickly secured by tho
older Institutions if The opportunity were
offered. The growth of the collection has
been something marvellous Ten years ago
tho estimated value Of tho various exhibits
was 100000. Their actual value now is con
sidornbly more than *2o00,O0o, and they
could not be duplicated for any amount Of
money. A large part of tho collection has
been derived from tho voluntary art contri-
buttons OF rich men and women. When Cath
crime Wolfe, the nillionaircss OF New York,
died a few years ago, for instance, she be.
guenthed to tho institution II superb collec.
