THE NEW SUSPENSION BRIDGE.

History of Famous Structure Destroyed
by Storm.
The new suspension bridge at Niagara
Falls. which was swept away by the re-
cent great storm, has been confounded
by many with the great railroad suspen-
sion bridge. 1t was only. however, a
carriage. and foot bridge. 1t was built
In 1879, and was a quarter of mile long
and 1870 feet above the water-one of the
loftiest bridges in the United States.

Newspapers, after all, only reflect the
mind Of the average man, who likes to
read about things easily understood, and
which demand no intellectual exertion
on his part. Culture is equally absent
from all other forms of popular litera-
ture. Look at the books which are the
most read. Called Back" and "Mr.
Potter Of Texas" are examples taken at
random. To such stuff 1t Is absurd to
apply the name OF literature. Then,
again, IL We are cultured people, It Is q
remarkable fact to how small class
books that are really works Of art and
masterpieces of style appeal. When
Shelley wrote his "Epipsychidionp there
were in England at the time only about
twelve men to whom he deemed II
worth while sending that famous poem.
II another Shelley were to burst on the
public as q poet tomorrow, he would be
under q similar difficulty. 1t is fully
time that we recognized the truth.
Culture Is not by any means universal.
What Is widespread and assumes its
name Is the modern spirit Of superfici-
atty. We read reviews Of books In The
Spectator. and not the books themselves.
We get our opinions second hand from
where will to save ourselves the trouble
of thinking. We prefer the common
place and trivial In literature and art to
what Is great and noble. We have no
love for philosophy, although 1t ia fash
ionable to pretend we have. In fact, the
whole system Of our national education
must be reversed and the attitude of the
public mind altered before we can truly
describe ourselves as a cultured people.

Al Practical. Joke.

Most squirrels keep two or more stores
of food. Wood, the British naturalist,
tells Of a friend who found one of these
reserve stores which squirrel had pro-
yided for an exigency, and. the friend,
IN moment Of thoughtlessness, deter
mined to play joke on the squirrel.
He accordingly replaced the nuts by
small round stones, and carefully con-
cealed all evidences of his visit, One
cold day in winter he passed the spot
and found that tho squirrel had called
there short time previously. This he
knew by the fact that ten inches of snow
had been scratched from the top of the
hole, outside of which the stones had
been cast by the disappointed animal.
This struck the joker with remorse. He
said: II never felt the folly of practical
joking somuch in my life. Fancy the poor
little fellow, nipped with cold, and scanty
food, but foreseeing long winter, re-
solved to economize his little hoard as
long as possible. Fancy him at last de-
termined to break this perhaps his last
magazine, and cheerily brushing away
tho snow, fully confident that a good
meal awaited him as the reward of his
cold job, and after all, finding nothing
but stones. Inever felt more mean and

County Clerk Wolff owns little black
and tan dog that has a habit of visiting
his master daily at 4 o'clock p. m. One
day during the recent rains hard
shower set in just about o'clock, and
the clerk and his deputy were speculat-
ing as to whether the dog would make
his usual visit, when he was heard rush
ing up stairs. He reached the Office
dripping wet, two minutes late, which
fact he seemed 10 feel. After the adj
Journment of the county commissioners
last Wednesday, and before the board
left the room, the clerk was busy writ
ing up the minutes Of the meeting, when
he heard the well known footsteps of
his visitor. Without raising his eyes
from the minute book, George remarked
that 1t was o'clock. There being no
clock in the room and the clerk not hav-
ing referred to his watch, those present
asked what made him thinkso, when he
replied that his dog was coming.
Watches were drawn, and although
some of them varied minute or two,
that OF the clerk pointed to precisely
o'clock. Another popularity of the dog,
and one his master greatly appreciates,
Is that heis never at home at meal times,
preferring to take the same with neigh
bors. -Fernandina Mirror.

He Got His wsdaInr raa,

A certain Justice of the peace near
Brunswick had call recently from a
colored man with the request that he
come down and marry him. The justice,
remembering his past experience, told
the fellow that he would consent to go
on condition that he be paid $3.50, and
that amount In cash. Assent was given
and the officer of the law set out, Ian
tern in hand. and covered with an UNI
brella (for 1t was pouring down rain)
Arriving at the spot. he called out the
couple and forthwith "tied the knot"
When all was over the groom stepped
up to the justice and informed him that
he would "call and SETTLE" This did not
please the majesty of the law, and he at
once called the couple back to unite the
knot. This was too much for the bride
and groom. A few minutes conversa-
ton ensued. The bride retired and soon
returned with the cash.-Macon Tele-

When an engagement has been def

disagreeable at soiree than the Spec
tacle of one Of these sentimental

girl lisa mighty reader of novels, her ca
pacity for sentimental stories being
simply inexhaustible. Rarely, however,
does marriage in German prove the real
ization Of any of the dreams in which
her girlish fancy has taken delight.
The German married woman has never
occupied the same place as does the
French woman, by reason of the total
absence of any sentiment of chiyalry or
romance In the treatment Of women by
men in Germany. True, the sons, the
husbands, the brothers of the women of
Germany deserve our respect for their
energy, their character-al that supplies

is more fatal to grace than even to right.

The most difficult and important part
of the structure Is the armature, and in
building this the first thing Is the lami-

immense number of thin disks of sheet

other holes for tho bolts which arc to
hold the series of disks together, 80 as to
make of them a solid drum. These disks
are then piled one upon another around
an iron shaft which is to form the axle
of the armature. and thick iron end
plates are applied at each end and bolted
together by iron bolts going through

thus formed is then mounted In lathe
