AnIneenious bridge.

A novel and ingenious use that was
made some time ago of rapid river
current in India aptly illustrates the
fertility OF resource OF the average en-
cheering contractor. At certain
point along the river temporary
bridge was urgently nece' sary for the
transport of materials to be used in the
building of an important neighboring
structure, but the only available ma
terial was quantity of three-inch
planking. about ten feet long and a lit
tie over three feet wide and ONE or
binary round timber cut from q neigh
boring forest. Pontoons were made
of two single planks placed about
fifteen feet apart, each plank being
held on edge at an angle of about fifty
degrees from the vertical, both inclin-
ing up stream, and kept at their prop
er distance by framing made from the
round timber already mentioned. Both
pontoons were moored to a chain. The
popularity OF the bridge, of course,
was that the water pressure upon the
inclined surfaces of the planks, due to
a swift current, permitted them to
carry considerable load, and the
structure served its purpose admirably,
accommodating q pretty lively traffic
for an unexpectedly long period.

spite the current prevalence OF such
notions, the outlook for fall fashions
indicates a season of more simple at
tire. The inference is thus plain that
the last OF August is seeing the final
gasp of this long continued indulgence
in overweight garments. This APP
plies to colors, too, for there is prom
ised positively rest from rainbow ef-
fects. All signs point to a reign OF
restful coloring and artistic rather
than startling combinations of shade.
This change, coming at a time when
many fashionable women are making
a shift from one resort to another, is
not unwelcome to them, for they are
enabled to appear in their newly
reached place in entirely new outfits,
which proclaim their newness by the
very fact that they are of simple cut
and blended colors. IL their travels
bring them to a mountain resort the
change in Dire s is less noticeable, for
the reason that mountain outing dresses
are ordinari y simple affairs in which
swell women may seem more dainty as
they play at roughing it, or make pre-
tense at climbing reaks. A thoroughly

Burglars In the Sewers.

There is band of thieves in Naples
which frequent the underground sew

the purpose of robbery. One morning

his warehouse, found large hole in

the value OF 1000 francs. He called
the police, and several of them. to-
gether with some sewermen, pene-

Az he neared the house the farmer
came out and greeted him with great

word marched him to the rear of the
house and showed him an enormous
woodpile. The fellow was so overcome
with astonishment that he took the

kept at 1t; then the farmer called the
man in and gave him his dinner. but
would permit him to carry nothing
away. The tramp departed in the
most sullen manner imaginable, and
he and his companions held another

SloycnlY Farming.

II there is any one thing more dis
gusting than another in agriculture
it is OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES you-please
farming. And it does more IN de-
grade the occupation in the minds OF
on-lookers than all the distateful
duties together, prominent among
which a;e the cleaning and purifying
of the COW stables and hog pens and
the carting and distributing o. the
filth about the farm. 1t costs no
more to do piece ofywofk neatly
than 1t does TO DO it in slip-shod
fashion. the thoughts are bright to
the Cleaners mind bv noting the
work OF gathering field Of hay which
he passed In going to and from his
place of labor. The men employed
seemed to have had experience, but
the work was wretchedly done, and
more than half the value Of what was
in the beginning 6ne tive-acre now
ing lot must have Eeen lost by the
slip-shod manner CT handling the
grass In the first place, 1t was left
standing till well past the fully ripe
stage. The preparatory clipping with
the scythe began On the Fourth of
July, the main work not being started
until ten days later. the few hundred
pounds OF clippings lying by the road
side in the meantime, getting pretty
thoroughly seasoned" One bright
morning the machine was set a-going,
and IL laid down about one quarter of
the field Of handsome grass This
was not even shaken up, but just at
nightfall was rlked. thrown upon the
wagons and taken to the barns the
machine next moving at another
quarter. This on Saturday. A brisk
shower found the grass where the
machine had left it, and it lay under
a bleaching sun during next day, not
being touched till Monday afternoon,
when 1t was raked and taken to the
barn-a black. unpalatable mass:
mixed with it was another quarter OF
the field, cut on Monday ana loaded
without other handling than that
afforded by the rake. The product Of
the first quarter OF he lot was added
to the other after the same needless
treatment, and it is safe to say that
the last end OF that hay m W will be
worse than the flrst-and goodness
knows that the first is bad enough.

The Canary Islands Are waterless.

The Canary Islands possess not only
the most wonderful climate. but an ex-
tremely fertile soil. The only difficulty
in agriculture is the want of water. It
has lately been found that there are
great quantities of water In cavities of
the mountains of Teneriffe. An En-
glish company has undertaken to get
It out. They find that boring to a
depth of l0) feet is enough to procure
q large supply of water. II they sue
coed in getting an unlimited supply in
this way, the Islands which have de-
clined in p Osperity in recent years,
will probably develop greater produc-
tivity than hitherto.
