The Channel Bridge Scheme. =

Various startling projects have been
mooted for enabling travellers to cross
tho English Channel without undergoing
the troubles OF the short sea passage:
An extraordinary project Is the Channel
bridge scheme, which Is Of French de-
vising. The proposed bridge would be
something like thirty-four miles long,
and a moderate estimate gIvos Its proba.
bic cost as $172, 100000 Feom one to
two million tons OF metal would be re-
auired for its construction, which would
ueed about ten years to complete. As
proposed, the platform of the bridge
would be 1b0 feot above high water
level, supported on piles distant from
each other 500 or 600 yards. 1t would
contain room for four railway lines, with
a road for carriages, besides footpaths,
while places for refuge, watch houses,
and alarm bells, with powerful light,
would be placed at each pile. A harbor
in tho middle Of the Channel Is included
In some accounts OF the schemc.-Tlt

Frank Finn, says a correspondent. It
has black body and coral red legs. A
millipedc, as everybody knows and rs It's

one pair OF legs to each Of the rings Of
which its body is composed, but milli.

POTATO BREAD.

There are many persons who are very
fond of bread made with potatoes, but
very few people seem to have the knack
Of makingit
1t is very simple, once one gets the
hang of it, so to speak, and the result
is loaf which will keep fresh much
longer than any ordinary bread.
For four regular sized loaves OF bread
take about eight or ten large potatoes,
peel them very carefully so as to leave
spots or eyes, put them in water sufficient
to cover them, with a little salt aud boil
them until they begin to break up. Then
with potato -masher crush them, water
aud all, as fine ag possible. They should
then bo passed through sieve and
added to sponge which has meanwhile
ttbecn rising. Mix this potato pulp and
$he bread dough thoroughly, set aside
to rise for sLort time, then mold and
put in pans.
The flavor, 6nenc's OF grain aud
general quality Of bread arc greatly i'm
proved by this addition, and while 1t iu-
wolves quite little additional WORK, it
is work that pays very we'll. The brca1
will remain fresh much longer aud not q
crunb need be wasted.
1t must bo borne III mind, however,
that it is much moro likely to mold, If
exposed to dampness, after the addition
of potato, aud must be carefully watched,
rs even tho slightest symptom Of mold
in potato bread makes it unit to cat

A Curious Irish Tradition. \

Ireland is a COUNT = fch in traditions,
and in places every inch of the ground
has its queer history and somo quaint
story attached to it. For instance, not
far from Belfast there is romantic old
we'll in q curious hollow of the hills
called Barnas gap. The woil Is known
as Barnas we'll aud is filed at the bottom
with white stones, the heather around
being covered with pieces Of rags. Close,
too, Is large mound, composed Of
stones, which is said to cover the bones
of holy friar long since dead. Every
visitor to the we'll appears to <;Sske 1t a
practice of adding stone to heap
already there, but for what r.I - >. -
impossible to say.--Million.

Each Spoonful has
done it's Perfect Work.

Is the verdict Of every woman who has used Royal
Baking Powder. Other baking powders soon
deterorate and lose their strength, owing to the
use of inferior ingredients, but Royal Baking
Powder is so carefully and accurately COM
pounded from the purest materials that it retains
its strength for any length of time, and the last
spoonful in the can is good the first, which
is not true of any other baking powder.

GETTING TOO MUCH BUSINESS.

Two Old Fort Washerwomen Grow
Jealous and Beat Another at the
Wharf.
Warrants were sworn out yesterday at
Justice Elsinger's court charging Mary
Days and Bessie Bully, both of Goat
alley down in the Old Fort, with assault
and battery, and they will be arrested
and made to answer to the charge before
Judge MacDoneu.
1t seems that on Saturday night Annie
Pindar, who does washing for some of
the sailors on the wharves went, down to
the steamship Monomoy to get some
washing, and these two women, who were
there, and did not get the share of the
business they expected, jumped on her
and beat her numerically, biting her and
scratching her up in several places. She
was outnumbered, or to all appearances
she might have come out first best in
the contest. She was told by the women
who did the beating that She need not
attempt to have them arrested, as they
stood in with the solicitor general and
Judge MaeDonell, and they would get out
OF the difficulty all right. They will APP
pear before the court this week, and il
VIII be seen when their cases come up
now far their influence with the iudici-
Charles viii take them through.
