Keeping Young.

American women might learn an ad-
vantagoous lesson Of their Fronch sisters
In tho art of keeping young. But it is no
recipe for cosmetics that they would ac-
quire. First of all, French danies do not
worry, or, IL they do, they conceal the
fact admirably. They pro apparently on
tho crest OF the wave of good fortune per-
pctually. Next, and almost equally i'm
portant, they decline to hurry. They take
life moderately perform their duties with
out haste and lineer over their pleasures
And In these two simple rules lies mine
of wealth for her who Is wise enough to
appropriate it.--Cincinnati Gazette.

An excellent way OF filling up an un-
necessary window. or one that looks out
OH an ugly view, is TO have the lower part
built ont into a small alcove. lined with
plush, with "a small shelf running round
1t and brackets for china At the back a
little window is covered with gilded fret
work, ana In the front space Is left
which can be filled up as the owner de-
sires. One of tho advantages is that light
is not excluded from the top Of the win
dow or from the top of the alcove SO that
1t would be especially suitable for the
small libraries where tho back window
looks out on news, and yet where light

BROKEN TELEGRAPH POLES.
A Portland Mans Trip Among the Fallen
Wires.

Mr.. John J.Gerirsh of this city, saw
something of the broken wires and tele-
graph poles on his way home from Phil
adelphia last Tuesday. He reached Jer-
sey City at about IL o'clock Sunday
night and as the great ferry-boat carried
the train around and up the Harlem riv-
er, he had a splendid view of the cleo
tion Examinations. He was awakened
early in the morning in Connecticut by
the frequent stopping of the train. Snow
lay thick on the ground, and for miles
and miles the telegraph poles had been
broken off and fallen over ON the track,
and large force of men were in front
OF the train removing them. The wires
were covered with ice, and the thickness
OF the leg of a chair. They were two
hours late at Providence, as part of the
time the train progressed no faster than
a man could walk
The Frustrated poles and wires seemed
to be confined to a section of about ~
or Is miles.

TUGS LOCKED UP.
Unpleasant Enforcement of the New
Drawbridge Law-The Plymouth and
Belknap Caught at 4.3O Tuesday After

The new law published in Tuesday IS
PRESS that says that draw bridges need
not be opened between sunrise and sunset
was enforced Tuesday night in way that
was probably not intended, since the law
was doubtless designed to prevent opening
the draw late at night to prevent accident
and needless trouble.
The tugs Plymouth and Belknap lowed
the schooner Calvin circuit up through
the draw Tuesday afternoon to the Maine
Central coal sheds and waited to go down
with the schooner G. H. Venner, which
was unloaded at 4.27 p. m.
At about that time the captain of one
of the tugs called to Mr.. Jordan, the draw
keeper and asked if the draw would be
locked up precisely at sunset. Mr.. Jordan
replied that it was sunset at Az O'Clock,
that he had already waited thirteen min
utes and should lock the draw, which he
proceeded to do. Therefore the two tugs
and the..schooner were kept up there all
night and only let out at $50 yesterday
morning. Had the schooner been going to
sea and had a fair wind, it might have
meant loss of several hundred dollars. and
had the tug had any special business early
in the morning it might have involved
considerable loss.
AS it was the schooner lost whole day in
loading cargo of barrels at the 'sbarrel
wharf - for the tide did not serve SO that
she could get into the dock till late yester-
day afternoon.
Later the sun will set at p. M, and if
the draw is to be inexorably closed at that
early hour it will make trouble, as the men
interested don't think that the law should
be interpreted in that way.
1t doesn't say that the draw must be
closed between sunset and sunrise, but that
it needn't be opened. and if the latter part
of the afternoon is thus to be rendered
useless to the tugs and schooners all winter
it will mean big loss of money.
Mr.. Jordan, the draw tender, is known as
a very accommodating man. and as the tug
could easily have got the G. Fl. Venner
through by five clock, Tuesday after
noon, it would seem that he must be labor
ing underline mistake that the new law
means that the draw must be closed be-
tween sunset and sunrise.
