4 Church Gsher's HumOr.

Even Il church usher can SHOW a keen
sense of humor in the pursuit of ms du,
ties. Not long ago a prominent young
business man of Rochester promised his
little daughter that she might have a
party on her birthday. The birthday
happened I o come on the Sunday before
Easter. and the little girl came up to her
father the day before to remih him of
his promise. Hersfather told her that of
course he could not let her have a party
on sunday. but that he would take her
to church instead. As the father him.
self was little given to church going,
and the daughter had never been but
once. the idea struck her as absolutely
unique and absolutely delightful, so she
accepted the alternative eagerly-much
to her fathers regret.
They ven down to church together in
the morning-Mr. Robinson and little
May and by dint of careful examining
of charts Mr.. Il. located his pew. He
had hardly seated himself when up came
an usher with Il humorous twinkle in his
eye and wonder in his countenance at
the unexpected appearance of Mr.. r. at
church. Him did the usher make straight
for, and leaning oyer he whispered in a
loud stage whisper:
Il beg your pardon Mr.. Robinson, but
haven't yon made mistaken Next Sun
days Easter" -Quips.

4 Day in Bed.

We are naturally gwen to condemn
n despise the idea of remaining in bed
when our health Is good and all our Vi
tai forces III fair working order Apart
from the matter of our nightly rest, we
rarely think of n day in bed either as
preventative OF health or conducive to
longevity Yet ! am convinced there is
much to I've said in favor of "a day in
bed now and then, rs an aid to health
in the middle aged and as a measure
tending to prolong life in the old.
In bed the whole muscular system il
IT ease and the wear and tear OF the
body is reduced to IA minimum. The
processes OF getting rid of waste matters
are IN ~abeyance. there is less waste to
get nd of. II lungs. skin and kidneys
have IA measure Of comparative repose.
The nervous system, above all. is soothed
HnG coinforted by the day in bed"
Anxieries and worries disappear after
the rest. and the individual returns To
the workaday world refreshed and rem
ovated physically and mentally, in u
degree such aS the actions of no medi-
cines could hay@ accomplished.
In a word, the person who enjoys IA
day in bed Is IN the position OF an n
Elne whose fires are banked down and
whose energies are recruiting for the re-
newal of thu work OF tomorrow. Health

Concrete has been used by the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific railway for the
piers of bridge five spans across the Red
river. These piers were made by first sink
ing at the site Of each caisson or box of
wood 80 by 10 feet in size through the sandy
bottom to rock, which was easily done by
weighing the caisson and then pumping
out the sand and gravel, previously loosen
ed by means of a jet Of water. These Gals
sons were then filled with concrete made
of one part of Louisville cement, two parts
Of sand and four parts of stone broken to
pass through ring q inches in diameter.
After the caisson was filed mold of
two inch plank was made OF the form Of
the pier AT the bottom it was 90 feet 10
inches long and II 4 feet wide, at the top it
was feet inches wide and % q feet long,
with semicrcular ends Inside these molds
concrete was placed composed of 4OOpounds
of German portland cement, 10 cubic feet
Of sand and "A cubic foot OF broken stone,
which was allowed to harden thoroughly.
The plank mold was then removed and the
surface covered with mortar of equal
parts Of portland cement and sharp sand.
The river could be forded nearly all the
time the work was in progress and was
sometimes almost dry, although occasional
ly the water would rise TO depth of 20
feet, andsthe bottom lands in the neighbor
hood would be flooded for distance of two
miles.-EXchange.
