BRIDGING the Bosporus.

Encouraged, no doubt, by the sue
cess of the bridge across the Forth,
engineers are now considering the
equally great scheme of a bridge
across the Bosporus, thus connecting
Europe and Asia and their present
and future railway systems. The
Turkish newspaper Hakikat gives
Some particulars OF this project
apropos of an offer by a French syn
dictate to build a bridge ofSOO meters
in length and 70 meters high between
Roumeli and Anatoli Hissar. The
striking feature of the bridge would
be that it would consist of one span,
and thus, although of much shorter
length than the Forth bridge, it is
described as a greater work, because
it's single span exceeds in length by
one-half the longest span Of the
Forth bridge. The Anatolian rail
way, it is thought, will make the con-
struction of such a bridge Unnecessary
and feasible undertaking before many
years.-St. James Gazette.

He Saved Her Life.

Miss Susannah Warfeld, by her will
filed at Westminster, lett $1O0 to
Mr.. Julius A. Hood, formerly Bal
timore and Ohio telegraph operator
at Sykesville, now at Mount Airv
switch. This money was left to Mr..
Hood to show her appreciation of his
bravery when he once saved her life
at Sykesville. 1t was about seven
years ago. Miss Warfeld was going
to Baltimore and had to cross both
tracks to get to the platform. She
was in the middle Of the east bound
track and the passenger train was
coming along. Mr.. Hood was in his
office short distance away and saw
the danger. The train was then only
about 1OOyards away, and she could
not hear it. Mr.. Hood ran and
caught her and carried her off the
track. The engine came so close to
her thatit touched her dress. It was
a very narrow escape, and Miss
Warficld often expressed her high
appreciation Of Mr.. Hoods bravery.

What does she mean by tho soft low tune
And the words she is family hummng?

Sitting there singing an idle rhyme,
With the soft light DER her steaming,
Is she only trying to pass the time
And am but a fool for my dreaming?

e attEoj,

A story is going the rounds Of q
dear old Northern general. more
noted for fighting capacity and good
ness of heart than for eloauence, who
at recent dinner had to propose the
toast OF the (say) l26th New Yor k
regiment The gentleman made a.
rambling but highly eulogistic speech
and concluded by saying:
Here's to the gallant. 10th New
York regiment the last to reach the
field and the first to leave it.
He sat down amid shout OF laugh
ter, and then, seeing his mistake he,
strove to rectify it. --
Gentlemen" he said, syou must;
forgive me for the slip l have just
made. The toast l wished to pro-
pose was: Here's to the gallant
10th New York regiment, equal to
none.'"
There was another burst of laugh
ter, and the general rose for the third
time, but his words were lost in tn e
noise and merriment and the toast,
was honored as he had proposed it. -.

L.ml Bean Poles.

+ IN y = =
Few things are more profitable to
the market gardener than the lima
bean, and even in the nnpretentious
gardens OF the amateur no vegetable
gives so much satisfaction to grow
Possibly the reason why the lima bean
grower is better paid for his crops
than the grower of other vegetables
is on the account OF the difficulty to
get poles for the vine to run on. This.
OF course prevents competition to the
extent that it does when there is no
dlfhculty to overcome. The Popular
Gardener gives an illustration of the
plan by which the poles may be saved.
Any light rods, like, for instance. a
long broom handle, which would be
too smooth for the ordinary vine to
hold fast to. is employed and placed
in the centre of a place occupied by
four hills the hills being about three
feet away from the base of the pole;
string is then led from each hill to
the top of the pole. so that one pole
does for four hills. The vines are
represented travelling up the strings.
when the growth is completed, each
set of poles looks like shelter tent.
The lima bean usually requires some
thing stronger than a tender Irvine to
attach its strong coils around, and we
should not have supposed that they
would climb up these slender sup
ports very readily. But as the
description is said to be from an
actual case we take it for ganted
that it is thoroughly practicable. -

Tile Drainin. harm Lands.

Few farmers appreciate the value OF
thoroughly understanding wet. places
on their FARMS or we should see this
advance in improvement oftener I'M
dertaken. What has up to the time OF
draining been little if anything more
than an idle waste, may, by judicious
tile draining, become the most fertile
and productive spot in the neighbour
hood. Thus. instead of being a con-
slant threat to health and an unsightly
waste it is turned, by a few tiles and
some work, into source Of profit to
the owner and will be pointed to with
pride by every one who knows of it as
an object lesson in what may be done
in great many other places Cole

One advantage in feeding oil meal tc

Mixed stock. as we'll as mixed crops, are
necessary if the fertility of the whole
farm is to be kept up.
OF the different kinds of grasses usually
sown for pastures, blue grass and orchard
grass thrive best in the shade D.
One of the objections to orchard grass
is its liability to grow in stools; thick
seeding will in a great measure remedy
this. e
By following system of mixed farming
and stock raising, better opportunity is
offered of resting the land by rotation of
crops .... = ..-. q H.
The more thoroughly decomposed tho
manure when applied, the more available
it is for plant food. 1t will rot in the soil,
however. .E.. "
One object gained in supplying plenty of
bedding is that much material that is of
little value as manure is converted into O
good fertilizer.
In sowing grass seed use plenty of seed.
It is more economical to pay out little
for seed than to have patches of weeds
over the meadows or pastures.
Waste not, want not" is a bald headed
old motto, but nevertheless it deserves to
be painted in big letters and hung where
it can be seen on the farm every day
Because commercial manures can be
used with certain crops to good advant-
age is no reason why every advantage
should not be taken to increase the
amount of animal manure.

An Intcrestinc Fi1ht.

Considerable interest is felt In the meet
ing of the Southwestern Railway and
Steamship Association, to be held in Chi
cago next Wednesday. The reason is that,
unless Manager Waldo, of the Missouri.
Kansas & Texas road, can be persuaded to
abandon the position he has lately assumed.
the ASSOCIATION Will lose its chairman. j.
n. Falthorn. Mr.. Faithorn's contract with
the Southwestern Railway and Steamship
Association expired last October. but by
common consent he as continued In the po-
eition of chairman without the fOrmallty
OF a reelection. There was no objection
raised at that time. and it was not until
several months afterward that Traffic Man.
ager Waldo raised the point that the asso-
cIation has no legal existence. because IL
had no regularly elected chairman. He
was forced to abandon this position. but he
carried the point that the chairman must
be elected at the April meeting or step
down and out. by the terms of the agree
ment such an election must be unanimous.
and, although every other member of the
association is openly IN favor of retaining
Mr.. Faithorn as chairman, one negative
vote will retire him.

Where He Belonged.

A clergyman who must have believed
in preaching righteousness seven days
in the week had his attention attracted
by jockey who appeared to be trying
to take in a simple gentleman by selling
him a broken-winded horse for a sound
one. The story is related in Argonaut.
The minister drew the gentleman
aside, and advised him to be on his
guard, at the same time pointing out
the horses weak points The gentle
man thanked him and the bargain was
off. The jockey was nettled.
