Steel is now cheaper than iron. II
seems hardly possible, remarks the
Boston Cultivator, but the estimates
of cost in recent bidding for bridge
in Pennsylvania to be made with steel
stringers and steel rivets was lower
than like estimate for the same
bridge made with iron stringers and
iron rivets. Four bids were made,
and in each case the bridge could be
made cheaper of steel than of iron.
The successful bid was $1965, as
against S2157, which was the lowest
bid for the iron bridge. Owing to
the greater strength of steel, the
weight of metal in the steel bridge is
much less than it must necessarily be
for one of iron.

A peculiar solution of England's
problem in India may evolve before
many years, predicts the New York
Independent. There is growing
tendency among Indian princes to
marry European wives; and the re.
suit is likely to be that many of the
States now governed by them will in
course of time pass into the hands Of
Eurasian rulers. II il should become
the rage among the Rajahs and Ma
wabs to have European wives as it now
is to have European horse trainers,
etc, then the heads of the great native
States will before long be of mixed
race, and such a state of things would
put new phase on the political des-
tiny of the country.

The MatadOr's Last Thrust.

The art of the matador is not to run
up to the bull and stab him, but to
have him come to you and fling him
self upon the sword, while you direct
his movements this way and that with
the scarlet cape. He will follow
red cape anywhere, and the chulas are
busy from the beginning of the fight
to the end, leading the bull away from
the fallen picadors or the imperilled
banderilleros or the matador. Even
after the sword is thrust into his neck
up to the hilt, it takes the bull long
time to die. A narrowing sight it is.
The noble creature-the only noble
creature, as it seems, in the ring
stands up as long as he can, vomiting
forth torrents of blood, as all his en-
emies crowd around him, sticking to
it until he drops trembling against the
fender, Then in come the teams of
mules, gayly decorated with flags and
ribbons, to carry the bull and the
horses around the ring at gallop,
leaving bloody track behind, They
are not content with removing the
bodies by the nearest possible exit !;
oh, no These gay teams go gallop-
ing around the whole arena, each drag.

fore the drum rolls and the next bull
bursts into the arena. So it goes on,
until six bulls are done for. Ali the
while our neighbors in the next box
are eating and drinking. As for us,
we see nothing but the suffering and
death over and over again. II carries
you back to the Roman circus, and you
wonder what civilization has done for
Spain, whose population is still so
thirsty for blood. The Spaniards are
so used to it that they see none of the
barbarity, only the skill and the
science. And the English residents
in Spain are more enthusiastic than
the Spaniards themselves.

I must away to wooded hills aud wales,
Where broad, slow streams fow cool and
silently,
And idle bnrges flap their listless sails-
For me the summer sunset glows and pales,
And green fields wait for me.
[ long for shadowy forests, where the birds
Twltter and chirp at noon from every tree.
long for blossomed leaves and lowing
herds,
And natures voices say, in mystic words,
"The green fields wait for thee"
I dream Of uplands, where the primrose
shines,
And waves her yellow lamps above the
lea;
Oftangled copses, swung with trailing vines,
OF open vlstas, skirted with tall pines,
Where green fields wait for me.
1 think OF long, sweet afternoons, when l
May lie and listen 20 the distant sea,
Or hear the breezes in the reeds that sigh.
Or insect voices chirping shrlll and dry,
Inflelds that wait for me.
These dreams of summer come to bid me
find
The forests shade, the wild birds melody,
White summers rosy wreaths for me are
twined,
While summers fragrance fingers on the
wind,
And green fields wait for me.

A Historic Gun,

The London Telegraph chronicles
the removal of "Queen Bess's pocket
pistol, AN enormous piece of brass ords
nance which for generation has frowned
from the cliffs of Dover, to make way
for a battery of modern guns. The
"pocket pistol" now rests in honorary
retirement in less conspicuous part
of the castle. This gun is twenty -four
feet long, takes n cha-ge of fifteen
pounds of powder and has range, it
is said, of eight miles. 1t has not
been fired for so long, however, t1at
nobody knows how far it will carry.
1t is elaborately ornamented with
figures representing Liberty and Vic
tory. This gun was presented to
Queen Elizabeth by the people of the
low countries in recognition of her
efforts to protect them and their re.
ligion 1t has an inscription in Flem-
ish, which is popularly supposed to
run:
load me well, and keep me clean,
Aud I'll carry ball to calais Green.'
And there is a popular notion that
the gun was able to sweep the French
port on the other side of the channel
The accurate translation of the in
scription is, however:
'.O'er the hill and dale l can throw my ball,
My name is breaker Of Mound and Wall.
The "poeket pistol" has long since
ceased to be regarded as valuable, save
as a memento of the reign Of Eliza.

Reports from United States consuls
in Mexico TO the State Department
warn Americans against emigrating to
Mexico, with view to permanent
settlement, with insufficient means, or
without informing themselves in a re-
liable way as to the prospects for
earning livelihoods. Many Americans
have been induced by alluring state
ments as to the cheapness of coffee
raising, ETC., to emigrate to Mexico
within the past year, and some have
lost their all by doing so. There are
good opportunities in Mexico for en-
terprise, frugality and thrift if backed
by the resources necessary to success
in a new country.

The United States Court of Chey-

great interest to insurers, as 1t inval.
idates the clause found in most poll
cies, that no agent has authority to
alter the clauses printed on a policy.
It appears that Mr.. Henderson went
to an agent there and applied for an
insurance on his life, stating that he
was afraid of being shot by an enemy,
who, he had reason to believe, was
looking for him. The agent told him
he would give him policy covering
his case, and Henderson paid him the
premium. Shortly afterward he was
killed by the enemy, as he had antioi.

pay the insurance to the widow, as the

court says that the clause does not
count, and that the money must be

This is called the age of electricity.
That, in the opinion of the New York
Recorder, is mistake. We haven't
crossed the threshold yet. The adj.
vance has been wonderful, however.
In 1870 two examiners in the United
States Patent Office did all the work
of the bureau; now twenty are re
quired, and they are months behind.
Then two electrical patents were issued
a week now there are fifty. Notwith-
standing all this advance the small
amount of electric energy obtained
from pound of coal is sufficient to
stimulate every inventor in this line
to renewed effort. The next great
step will be to dispense with the boiler,
engine and dynamo and create electric
energy direct from fuel Until that
is done the age of electricity will not
have begun.

The American Register, of Paris, is
authority for the statement that the
descendants of Queen Victoria are
either now in possession of, or will in
the natural course of events come to
occupy, seven thrones-those of the
British Empire, the German Empire,
the Russian Empire, the Kingdom of
Greece, the Grand Duchy of Hesse,
the Duchy of -Coburg and Gotha,
and the Duchy of SAKE Meiningen.
According to this the Anglo Saxons
may shortly come to universal rule in
Europe, as its language is coming to
be the universal language of the world.
Possibly in this way, muses. the Tren'
