PASS 1T ON.

Once when I was a school BOY going
home for the holidays I had a long
way to go to reach the far away little
town in which I dwelt. | arrived at
Bristol and got on bard the steamer
with just money enough to pay my
fare; and that being settled, I thought
in my innocence 1 had paid for every
thing I needed in the way Of meals. I
had what I wanted as long as we were
in smooth water; then came the rough
Atlantic, and the need of nothing mor

wretchedness.
"Then I shall keep your luggage.
What is your name and address," I
told him. Instantly he took off the
cap he wore, with the gilt band about
it, and held out his hand: II should
like to shake hands with you," he
said.
I gave him my hand and shook his
as well as I could. Then came the
explanation-how that come years be-
fore, some little kindness had been
shown his mother by my father IN the
sorrow OF her wido Wood.
Il never thought the chance would
come for me to repay it," said he,
pleasantly; but 1 am glad it has"

AS soon as 1 got ashoreI told my
father what had happened. ''Ah,"
said he, ''eee how a bit of kindness
lives! Now he has passed it on to you.

Remember, if you meet ANYBODY that
a friendly hand you must pass it on to
them"
Years had gone by. I had grown
up, and quite forgotten it all, until one
day 1 had gone to the station of one of
our main lines. I was just going to
take my ticket when I saw a little lad
crying-a thorough gentleman he was,
trying to keep back the troublesome
tears, as he pleaded with the booking
clerk.
"What is the matter, my ladG" 1
asked.
eff you please, sir, I haven't money
enough to pay my fare. I have all
I want but a few pence; and I tell the
clerk if he will trust me I will be sure
to pay him"
Instantly it flashed upon me the for
gotten story of long ago. Here, then,
was my chance to pass it on. I gave
him the sum needed, and then got into
the carriage with him. Then I told
the little fellow the story of long ago,
and Of the Stewards kindness to me.
Nov, to day." I said, 81 pass it on to
you, and remember, if you meet with
any one who needs a kindly hand, you
must pass it on to him"
II will, sir; I will" cried the lad, as
he took my hand, and his eyes flashed
with earnestness.
II am sure you will" I answered.
I reached my destination, and left
my little friend. The last sign I had
of him was the handkerchief futtering
from the window of the carriage, as if
to say: cit is all right, sir; 1 will pass
it on. n-Home 0nd School Visitor.

IDENTIFYING LOST ARTICLES.

and told this story on his friend who

Il went in to see Billy's miserable
show the other night and came out in
such a hurry that 1 left behind me the
gold handled umbrella which Irving,
Bernhardt and -Coquelin dubbed to-
gether and bought for me for giving
them the greatest business ever known
on this hemisphere. | missed it and
next morning went to the box Office to
get it. Billy was at the window, and
1 told him of my loss.
"Can you identify it9 he asked.
Certainly said I.
How many ribs has it2' asked he.
"Of course I couldn't tell, and down
came the window. I was too paralyzed
with rage to move, and while I stood
there a young man came to ask for a
cane with silver band around it.

A WHITE HOUSE MISTRESS.

"When, then, will you marry m99'
1t was the hundredth time of asking,
and the first time of showing impa-
thence.
II will marry you, sir, when you are
elected judge!'
The young mans eyes flashed
sharply.
"And l." he retorted, twill have you
when your father is elected Governor
of TENNESSEE"
"a Rowland for an Oliver" The
speakers were David T. Patterson, a
clever young Democratic lawyer Of
Tennessee, and Martha Johnson, eldest
daughter and chief Of Andrew John
son, who was at that time the appar-
emily hopeless candidate of his party
for the Governorship Of his State. The
time was the night before the election,
and the place the parlor of the Johnson
homestead at Greenville, Tennessee,
writes M. V. Moore in a delightful
sketch, with portrait, of Mrs. Patter-
son, the only surviving member of the
immediate family of Andrew Johnson,
in the Sept. Ladies' Home Journal.
Whether both these young people
had private knowledge of the Demo
cratic victory which was to sweep
their State on the morrow, or whether
they were merely amusing themselves
with lovers perjuries" for Jove's and
their W amusement, cannot be
known, as the wedding day was settled
for them by the result of the election,
and their marriage was solemnized at
their Greenville home on the thirteenth
of December, 1856, David T. Patterson
having been elected judge on the same
ticket with his future father-in law.

A BRIDGE.

Another great engineering work re
Gently completed in Texas is the very
high cantilever bridge over the Pecos
river, says Harper's Weekly. This
bridge, some $50 feet high, while not
the highest in the world, is n Of the
highest and at the same time one of
the most considerable railroad struc.
lures over erected.
When the engineers locating that
part of the Southern Pacific Railroad
came to the Pecos ri~er they wanted
to go directly across with q bridge, but
more timid counsels prevailed, and in,
stead of taking a flying leap over a
a canyon more than 300 feet deep it
was decided to make a detOur of
twenty five miles by way Of the Rio
Grande. This was eleven or twelve
years ago. This longer route, though
the curves were sharp and the grades
steep, was expensive to build and main
tain and more expensive to operate.
It was a heavy tax on through freight,
and several years ago it was decided
to take the flying leap of the Pecos and
thus avoid the grades and curves and
longer haul. The Phoenix Bridge Com
pany did the werk. ).
The entire length CT the bridge is
$3.50 feet from abutment to abutment.
There are two cantilevers 172 feet, six
inches long each, and n suspended
lattice girder span of eighty feet. This
suspended span is hung between the
two cantilever spans on eight massive
bars, and expansion spaces are left at
each end of several inches where it
should join the cantilevers. The in
tense heat of the summer sun makes
this space for expansion a necessity.
In addition to these spans there are
eight lattice spans of sixty five feet
each, n plate-girder span Of forty
five feet, eighteen plate-girder spans
of thirty five feet each, and sixteen
plate girder spans of thirty-fve feet
each. The width of the floor OF the
completed span is twenty-five teet'
part Of which is taken up by a walk
wav on either side of the single track;
|. The bridge has a factor of safety OF
five. that ia. it has sufficient strength
ito bear five times the pressure MADE
bv a continuous train of the heaviest
locomotives moving over it. From the
ground at the bottom of the canyon
and on the banks Of the river the
bridge looks like q slender lattice
work, but it is really, as will be seen
from the above statement as 20 ITS
strength, a very solid and stable
structure.

How He Was Supplied With Buttermilk
in Dallas.

A4O" ~ Wv aS SuPPAC0
in Dallas.
The Dallas Uex.) Ne1Os tells a good
one on Rev. Sam Jones.
Brother Jones is very fond of butter
milk and in conversation with a re-
porter the other night jocularly re
marked that he could drink more
buttermilk than anybody in town.
"And no one, :" said he, could send me
anything that I would appreciate more
than fresh buttermilk."
The NeUS published Rev. Sans re
mark, but it seemed that the brethren
and sisters failed to see the joke and
took it seriously.
The next morning brother Jones had
not been out of bed ten minutes before
there vas a knock at his door and the
bell boy handed him a tin bucket full
of fresh milk, sent by a sister who had
a fine jersey coz He accepted it and
turned the bucket up to his parched
lips and took a long swig.
just then another knock sounded ON
the door and the bell boy had a pitcher
of buttermilk sent by a lady who had a
Holstein COW.
"Humph," said Brother Jones, 81
won't suffer for buttermilk on my last
day in Dallas"
He resumed reading and in a few
minutes a knock came again, and this
time the bell boy had two half gallons
Of buttermilk sent by two different
sisters, and Brother Jones commenced
to smile.
Then he went down to pick a chicken
bone and drink a cup of coffee. Then
he fastened back to his room. When
he arrived at his door there were no
less than three men and two boys, and
each had buttermilk for him, and be
fore he could get his door locked two
more brethren came, bringing butter
milk.
Brother Jones commenced to grow
restless and was beginning to won
der if every sister in town had
churned the day before. He lighted
his cob pipe and started to read the
morning paper, when the bell boy in
formed him that there were two ladies
in the parlor who wanted to see him.
He went down and to his horror each
lady had a pitcher of buttermilk for
him, and they commenced to sing the
praises Of their cows.
Brother Jones was beginning to look
haggard and distressed, and when the
bell boy brought up the card Of a caller
he shouted, 60 back and tell the
gentleman that it impossible for me to
see anyone, and that I've got milk
enough to float a Trinity river steam
boat"
Rev. S I'M then picked up the NeoUs
and read his talk with the reporter
about buttermilk. That's what's the
matter" he said, throwing the paper
to the floor. ''That ''long legged, gan
~der-necked, slab sided little fool Of a
reporter put that in the paper, and
here they are sending me enough milk
to drown in
Then another knock at the door was
answered, and a darkey entered with
a gallon pickle bottle full of fresh
milk.
"Take that stuff back and tell them
that I am sick of buttermilk."
Then he made a Decline for the ele-
vator, and barely escaped three more

Next time brother Jones works off a
joke la Dallas he will see that it is
accompanied by a diagram, and will
end, mo buttermilk wanted"
