1t was q Crisis.

The early morning sunlight fell across
the waters of the inlet that divided the
Neck from the main land. The East
was still red and the ripples of the water
were colored like wine. Few of the
cottages on the neck were open for the
day. Only one or two spirals of smoke
curled upward into the early morning
air. and the town on the main land, with
its houses huddled close to the water S
edge. was still asleep.
The splash of cars in the inlet was the
only sound, except the breaking OF the
tiny ripples on the beach. A boat was
shooting across the wine-red path in the
water. Its occupants were a youth,
rough, bronzed and handsome, and girl.
fine and dainty as a bit of porcelain.
Her eyes were fixed upon the quiet houses
ON the neck, but his never left her face.
When the boat grated ON the shore she
sprang lightly out and stood looking at
him with an inscrutable look. He waited
patiently for her to speak. The quiet
ness of the time. the stiffness of the
Mace. made the moment like crisis in
their lives. Finally with a face over
which the blood surged. she spoke.

Boiling Water.

When we first heard it said of poor
cook that she Ibid not know enough to boil
water without scorching it, it seemed
like a very eXtravagant statement, as il
was. But how many know how to boil
water quickly and with small fire? There
are many times upon the farm when such
knowledge is desirable. particularly when
one is doctoring sick animals and desires
a considerable quantity as quickly as pos
sible. Yet anyone who runs a stationary
engine can tell the secret. Begin with a
small quantity at first. as little as can bo
used without overheating the boiler. When
is begins to boil add as much more and
keep up the process. Adding one-fourth
as much as is already boiling will not
seem to check it at all. and this will be
true whether it is in pints or barrels at
a time The heat that will boil one gallon
will boil any amount if it is but gradually
added to that which has reached the boil
ing point, if the fire is kept only at a
steady temperature. If you tell this to
some women on wash day they may laugh
at you, but it is true nevertheless.

BRIDGES OF EUROPE.
New FordOn Structure Over the Vistula
Ranks sixth in Size.

New EOrdOn Structure Over the FiStula
Ranks sixth in Size.
The Fordon bridge, over the Vistula
river in Germany, probably ranks sixth
among the European bridges, says the
Philadelphia Record, SO far as length is
concerned. the u, 632-foot bridge over
the Danube at CzernavOda coming first,
followed by the 1O,499-foot bridge over
the Tay, tie 7S55-foot Forth bridge, the
WAL bridge in Holland with a length
of 1923 feet, the 471S-foot bridge over
the Volga at Syrsan, Russia, and the
Fordon bridge, which is 4347 feet long.
The last has five river spans of 32S feet
and thirteen of 2O3 feet 5 inches EACH
The river piers are founded on concrete,
inclosed in piling and protected by rip
rap; the foreshore piers and one abutment
are founded on masonry wells 2912 feet
outside diameter sunk to from 80 to 80
feet below the surface of the ground
The main Orders over the river openings
have parabolic upper and horizontal loW>
or chords. The width between the main
Orders in a clear is 30 feet 5 inches. of
which q feet inches is given up to a
roadway. and 13 feet inches to a rail
way. the remaining 6 inches being
occupied by a dividing lattice $ feet 5
inches high On each side of the main
girelers there is footway feet IL inches
wide. On one side of the river, both
above and below the bridge, there are
sheers for removing and replacing the
masts of passing vessels, and there is
also a towing apparatus for boats passing
under the structure.

FROM N.S WINDOW.

Above the water. from my window shines
The crescent moon, soft holding its sway,
A feecy cloud Just left from parting day.
Round either horned side it intertwines
And falling. forms in dropping lines
bridal veil around the queen of night;
Within the folds, half hid, the Quiverins

OF stars, like jeweled pins in quaint design
To catch and hold the veil in place.

Wave follows wave in gittering crystals
strewn
And silver rings go widening into space
Then 10! tits gone, this crescent crown and
veil
And am in the darkening world alone

Novel Means of Travel.

Novel Means of Travel.
Christian Cans, a prominent member
of the Omaha Cycling club of Omaha,
Neb, has just finished a novel trip from
that city to Brooklyn on Il bicycle fitted
with ten-foot leg-of-mutton sail The
distance Travelled was about 100 miles,
% actual riding days being required to
accomplish it.
The sail, which was very ingeniously
fitted into the head of the bicycle, proved
great assistance while wheeling across
the Western plains. In a strong wind
Cans was obliged to back-pedal to check
the terrific speed his wheel would attain.
In descending the Eastern slope of the
Alleghenies Cans was forced to cut a
small sapling and trail it behind to lessen

which he was not slow in doing
The men then ordered him into the
vault the door of which stood open. Bret
