A Folding Bridge.

There is peculiar folding bridge at
Canal street, Chicago, at a place where
the Chicago river is too narrow to permit
the use of swing bridge with pier in
the middle OF the stream. 1t consists Of
a movable roadway which divides in the
center over the middle of the stream.
Each half Of the bridge is hinged at about
one-third of it's length from the shore.
This permits the parts overhanging the
river to drop down in front of the abut-
ments, while the shorter hinged portions
rise, forming gate which intercepts the
passage Of teams or pedestrians. The
two halves of the bridge are supported
by heavy bars reaching down from steel
towers about so feet high.
The whole bridge is 177 feet long, the
movable part 100 feet and the actual span
over the Chicago river 80 feet The road
way is 81 feet wide, and there is seven
foot passage on each side. The whole
structure is built of steel and weighs 1870
tons. It is operated by a 10 horsepower
engine on each side of the river, aided by
system of counter weights, the ma
chinery being below the level of the
bridge. tits operated very quickly, and
the span has been opened or closed In 10
seconds. The structure cost but about
$4,000, including the masonry abut-
ments, and is very strong, a 90 ton steam
roller passing over it without serious de-

The Warm Salt Bath.

Warm salt baths taken at a tempera-
ture Of 90 to 95 degrees are eminently
suited for those with whom the open sea
bath does not agree. Many people be-
ieve- and it is an idea that is hard to
kill-that a warm bath at this teMpera-
ture is relaxing" but as a restorative
after bodily fatigue, especially in hot
weather, or as a means to relieve muscu-
lar pain and tension, it is difficult to find
a better substitute. We go further and
hold that such bath is better than open
air bathing for the nervous and debili-
tated, and especially in cases Of irritable
ity arising from mental worry, sleepless-
ness, intemperance and late hours. And
the efficacy of such bath in lumbago,
govt, rheumatism. paralysis, sciatica and
neuralgia is time honored and is capable
of everyday demonstration. = London

Indian Simplicity.

An amusing story comes from the
Wabigoon Lake Indian reserve, Canada.
Tt seems that white men, regardless of
treaty stipulations, have been poaching
upon the preserves Of the Indians. The
red men resented this, but were at a loss
what to do about the matter, as the
white men paid no heed to their objec-
lions.
After much debate among themselves
they concluded to carry their case to the
highest authority. The chief went to
Barclay station, therefore, and sent the
following cable message:
To Prince of Wales, London:
White men cutting timber on Eagle lake.
Would you kindly come and settle matterl
This was given to us. Please advise.
KAH KIwEAsH, Chief Wabigoon Lake.
We may smile at the Indians simplici-
ty, but his confidence and his wrongs
certainly deserve some considerations.

Mr.. vANDERBlL IT'S VALIANT.
The Fastest and Most Magnificent of All
Private Yachts.

The Fastest and Most Magnificent OF All
Private Yachts.
There is much talk of yachts and
yachting in these days, and it does not
require any great intimacy with the
subject to learn that there are yachts
and yachts. But4the yacht of yachts, in
size, in luxury and perhaps in speed, is
that newcomer in the yachting world,
W. K. Vanderbilt's magnificent new
steam yacht Valiant, which undoubted-
ly comes nearer to fitting that hackneyed
descriptive phrase, "a veritable floating
palace" than any vessel ever launched
before her. She is larger than any other
private yacht afoat, barring some of the
so called royal yachts Of Europe, which
are really government vessels, and none
even of these srrpasses her in luxurious
fittings and artistic decorations.
Ahoat, tho Valiant looks more like an
ocean liner than private pleasure craft.
She is 312 feet long, "a feet beam and
has a register of 2,400 tons. She is
driven by twin screws, and her engines
have capacity of VA, 500 horsepower,
but she is alsoIfull brig rugged and car

speed is 10 knots an hour, and under

any assistance from her sails. She car
ries crew of 72 men all told, and the
minimum expense of running her is said
to be 10000 month.
In every particular the vessel is as
handsome and luxurious as it is possible
FOR talent and money to make her.
There are 20 ,staterooms, every one of
them distinctively artistic, and the main
saloon and theolibras ware magnificent.
The saloon is eeoftsAfed in white and
gold, with hangings Of crimson silk and
velvet, and is lighted from above by a
dome Of stained glass. The woodwork
and furniture of the library areo of wal
nut superbly carved, and there is hand
some tiled fireplace.
Mrs. Vanderbilt's stateroom is done
in white and gold, with silk hangings of
old rose, and the sitting room, on the
upper deck, is in mahogany with up
holstery and hangings of green lowered
silk. The owners quarters are fitted
and furnished in oak, with cream silk
hangings, and the rooms of his private
secretary and the officers Of the vessel
are scarcely less luxurious. The baths
are all Of polished copper and all the
metal work Of cleaning silver. The cost
Of the Valiant is said to have been
$500, 900. 8,

Judge B. f. Dennison was once argu-
ing case before Judge Roger s. Greene,
and in the course of his remarks he kept
constantly referring to Browne on
Statute Of Frauds" always making two
syllables of the word Browne and pro-
nouncing it as if it were Brown-ee.
Judge Greene fidgeted around in his
chair, stood the mispronunciation as long
as he could and then blurted out:
''Judge, why do you say Brown-ee!
You wouldn't call me Green-ee, would
you"
Judge Dennison slowly replied in q
rather dry tone Of voice:

The growth Of ivy on the walls OF
houses renders the walls entirely free
from damp, the ivy extracting every
particle of moisture from wood, brick
or stones for it's own sustenance by
means of its tiny roots, which work
their way into the hardest stone. The
overlapping leaves of the ivy conduct
water falling upon them from point to
point until it reaches the ground with

moisture whatever from the beating rain.

There are records of very many curl

to be kissed by the lowest boor who

parts of England still more curious.
and, if possible, more senselcss custom

A chair, gayly decked with ribbons
and artificial flowers, is placed in front
