limestone could only be reached by

Ms. stevenson In the Chair.

Mrs. Stevenson presided at the recent
convention of the Daughtersof the Amer
ican Revolution. The wife Of the vice
president has evidently never openedthe
covers of her husbands authorities on
parliamentary order. But she was not
blind to her own defects, soshe supplied
them quite easily by engaging as adviser
q mild hammered man, who neverthe-
less knew all about overruling and
quashing and laying on the table. This
man sat at Mrs. Stevensons elbow, told
her what to do next in all cases and scut-
tied a number Of ships in the shape Of
resolutions offered by adventurous
Daughters.
The first little incident Of this sort was
when motion was offered by distin-
guished looking woman from the Mount
Vernon chapter. Mrs. Stevenson swas
standing at the time, and without wait
ing for any discussion asked the yeas and
nays and got them, too, before the little
man or any one else had a chance to
draw long breath. Immediately there
was storm of opposition. Then the
mild parliamentarian whispered some
thing to Mrs. Stevenson. She pounded
in ladylike manner with her pretty
gavel and said:
'sThe question before the congress, la
dies, is the resolution. We can do one
Of two things with it. We can either
we can either whatf" she blandly and
frankly asked, turning to the blushing
parliamentarian.
1t was SO openly done that it brought
down the house. Mrs. Stevenson laughed,
the little man laughed, everybody laugh
ed, and order was not restored for sew
eral minutes. Then they laid the reso-
luton on the table and went gayly on
about their business. s.-New York Sun.

Princess Victoria of the fact. 1t was q
warm night in June. The princess waa
sleeping in her mothers room, her Gus.
tom from childhood, and had to be sum-
moned out Of her sleep. The messen.
gers awaited her in the long, unlofty
room, separated only by folding doors
from that which was inhabited by the
Duchess Of Kent and her daughter. The
young girl entered alone, in her night.
dress, with some loose wrap thrown
hastily about her. The moment she was
addressed as ''Your majesty" she put
out her hand, intimating that the lords
who addressed her were to kiss 1t and
thereby do homage. Her schooling and
her instincts were admirable from the
first. Self possession combined with
perfect modesty came naturally to her.
A few hours later, at II O'Clock In
the morning, the child queen met her
council. In the corridor at Windsor
there is a picture which commentaries
the event. Never, 1t has been said by
an eyewitness, was anything like the
first impression she produced or the
chorus Of praise and admiration which
was raised about her manner and be-
havior, certainly not without Justice.
Her extreme youth and inexperience
and the ignorance OF the world concern
ing her--foI she had lived in complete
seolusion--excited interest and curios-
ity.
Asked whether she would enter the
room accompanied by the great officers
of state, she said she would come in
alone, Accordingly when all the lords
of the privy council were assembled the
folding doors were thrown open, and
the queen entered, quite plainly dressed
and in mourning, and took her seat for
the first time, young girl among a
crowd Of men, including al the most
famous and powerful Of her subjects.
She bowed and read her speech, handed
to her by the prime minister, Lord Mel
bourne, in clear and firm voice and
then took the oath for the security of
the Church Of Scotland.
Immediately the privy councillors
were sworn, the royal Dukes of Cum
berland and Sussex first by themselves.
1t was observed that as these two old
men, her uncles, knelt before her, swear
| ing allegiance, she blushed up to the
eyes, as if she felt the contrast between
their civil and natural relations. Her
manner was very graceful and engag-
ing, and she kissed them both, and ris-
ing from her chair moved toward the
Duke of Sussex, who was too infrm to
reach her.-Fortnightly Review.

IRRIGATION in THE WEST.
The Vast Engineering Works of the Great
American Desert Region.

Very few people realize what vast
engineering and construction problems
are being solved out west in what d
few years ago was termed the Great
American Desert region, says Land
and Water. The same desert region is
of remarkable fertility when water is
supplied by irrigation plants. The
Sweetwater dam, in southern Cali
fornia, is the pride OF its builders and
is worth many millions to the lands it
renders fertile. In Arizona an immense
CANALS being built, which will utilize
10 part Of the surpluswaters Of Colorado
'snd irrigate 100000 acres Of land, In
New Mexico, in Eddy county is the
second largest irrigation plant in the
United States. To secure an abuud-
ance Of water at all times, two inn
mense reservoirs were constructed
capable of storing 100000, 600 cubic
feet OF water.
Some idea Of the size Of these arti-
fetal lakes may be had when il is
mentioned that one Of them is thirteen
miles long by four miles wide. The
water from these reservoirs is con
Quoted through some 1900 miles Of
canals and bitches and irrigates or win

900 feet square and having 1900 miles
OF mains. 1t took three years to build
this plant Yet others as great or
greater are projected and win be cons
structed. The future effect Of all this
vast labor and skill is not easy to pre-
dict. In many places they have surely
made the desert bloom and turned
poverty into wealth.

The Villagers Followed the Lead Of tho
Mayor with Ladlcrous' Consequences
On one occasion, while on journey
through Italy, the epope halted ut a small
village, the heinhabitantso Of which resolved
to send some of their principal men as
deputaiion TO his holiness, The mayor,
who was to head the deputation, pro-
posed to present him with some of the
chief produce Of the country, consisting
Of pineapples, figs and cream. 1t was
accordingly arranged that each member
should carry some figs and cream in sill.
yer basins, the pineapples, however, be-
ing dispensed with,
Before setting out the mayor thus ad-
dressed his followers: "As you do not
know very well how to conduct your
selves before exalted personages, you
must watch me closely and do as do"
The procession was formed, with the
mayor stalking majestically in front,
furnished, like his followers, with a ba-
sin of figs in his left hand and another
Of cream in his right, There was step
down into the room, but the mayor fail
ed to notice it. He stumbled, and the
shock sent his face and beard into the
cream basin. Trying to recover himself,
he only made matters worse, for he fell
upon his knees, with his hands and basin
under him, and his creamed face raised
imploringly to the holy father.
The members of the deputation, think
ing that this was the proper ceremony to
observe in the presence Of such distin-
guished parsonage, dipped their boards
in the cream, threw away their vessels
and bent down on their knees, at the
same time casting half inquiring and
confidsnt look at their leader, as if they
meant to say: "You see we are all right.
We have carefully followed your exam
pie"
The pope was at first astonished, but
soon burst into a fit of the most bolster
GUS laughter, while the attendants,
thinking that the deputation had come
to mock their master. began pelting them
with the saturated figs.
The mayor hobbled out of the room,
closely followed by his brethren, one Of
whom whispered to him:
"How lucky it is for us that we did
not bring the pineapplesl How nicely
our heads would have been battered by

Boston has one new fad which is dis,
tinguished by being sensible. Itis the
drinking of new eggs, At leading
ladies' restaurant ii is q common sight,
especially on Monday, Commonweal
avenues shopping day, ,'or Wednesday,
after the matinees, to see whole line
Of fair damsels file past the man at the
counter busy in breaking eggs in wine
glasses. With experienced gusto the
glowing golden balls are lightly tossed
down at single swallow. AS a rule
they are taken perfectly plain and un-
broken, but some prefer them seasoned
with salt and pepper, which gives them
quite the taste Of an oyster, The
other day, justas Beacon street bride
was quitting her parental roof, she
paused at the threshold and gasped;
fQh, have forgotten--bring me my
egg qnicll!" With trembling haste the
servant flew and quickly returned with
an egg in q wine glass. Throwing
back her veil, the bride tossed down
the egg, and, thus sustained and
strengthened, she rolled away to tread
the path thatl leads to the altar.

A Railroad Bridge In Switzerland Weigh
ing sac Tons Raised rive Feet.

INK oAB Tons ltniecu 1.-TWO Feet.
The raising Of q bridge in Switzer-
land upon the line Of the International
railway, from Paris to Vienna, has at
tracted considerable attention from
the methods pursued, which are de-
scribed by Locomotive Engineering.
The OCCASION for the change was that
the river crossed-the Rhine-had lost
in the sectional area Of the passage be-
tween the piers about twenty-five per
cent, in thirteen years, owing to the
deposition Of gravel and sediment,
while the high water level had risen
to such an extent as to pile floating de-
bris six feet deep on the bridge floor in
times of food, The alterations includ-
ed some reinforcements, besides the
raising Of the whole structure about
five feet The bridge was continuous
over center pier, and had two main
vertical posts there and four vertical
end posts. To each of these posts IN
inclined strut was attached in trans
verse vertical plane, presenting sur
face for the top of hydraulic jack to
act upon. Eight special one hundred
ton jacks were used, with an eight
inch stroke and working pressure Of
four hundred atmospheres, the piston
being nearly seven-tenths in diameter
The fluid used was mixture of water,
alcohol and glycerine. Sixteen men
operated the jacks, their movements
being synchronized by code of sig
mails, designed to secure uniformity Of
action, The bridge was raised foot
or two by short lifts, followed up hy
thorough blocking, and then building
under one course Of cut-stone masonry.
The total load was five hundred and
forty-six tons, and the maximum load
on single jack was eighty-seven
Atons. The bridge was raised in four
stages during intervals between trains.
The longest interval between trains
was about two hours. The weight Of
trains was rigidly restricted during the
time the bridge was undergoing re-
pairs, and their speed was limited 70
three miles an hour in crossing the
bridge. In addition, a special block
system was organized upon that sre-
tion Of the line upon which the bridge
is located, SO that operations could he
suspended and the track restored five
minutes before the arrival of train at
the site.

The great secret of boredom is to be
found in two leading qualifications. A
bore must be unable to find amusement
in himself, and he must also be unable
to find amusement in any one else. He
must depend for his amusement neither
on his own mind nor on the minds Of
his friends, but simply on the gratiiica-
ton which it is to him to give special
direction, or at least to suppose that he
gives special direction-for he is a
creature of the most unlimited credul-
ity in the art Of magnifying his own in
fluence-to the minds of his friends
He is in despair unless he can imagine
himself a person Of influence, and un-
luckily he can never imagine himself a
person Of infiuence-for he is man OF
very limited imaginative power unless
he is taking overt steps to convince
somebody Of something, whether 1t be
of some technical doctrine like Dugald
Dalgetty's strategic principle, or simply
of his own Importance, or even of the
Importance Of his patrons, like Mr.. Col
Inns in Pride and Prejudice" To be a
first rate bore you must have no re-
sources in yourself and no resources in
your friends, but must depend for your
satisfactions on the real or fancied power
of making your friends either think OF
do what they would otherwise not think
or do.-London Spectator.
