A bridge which is carefully avoided

traditions which surround it spans q
stream called the goldbrook, in the
parish of Hoxne, near Eye, in the couE-
ty of Suffolk, England. Standing il

The branches of which the king took
refuge from his foes. At nightfall lie
emerged from his leafy hiding place
and sccreted himself under the above
mentioned bridge. A wedding party
passing over the bridge at night OBJ
served the kings gold spurs glittering
in the moonlight, and in this way he
was betrayed TO his enemies, who took
him back to the oak tree and shot him
with arrows. Local tradition has it
that many years ago the existing in
scription of the event was followed by
the words: Cursed be the wedding
party that passes over this bridge" No
such words are now visible, but the
tradition is so well known that bridal
parties prefer taking q ci-cuitous route
rather than pass over Goldbrook bridge.

AN AFRICAN KING.

He Laughs Heartily at the First White
Woman lie Ever Saw.
The following is an extract from a
letter, written by French lady in SEN
egal and published in Paris newspa-
per, referring to visit to King Bchan-
Yin Of Dahomey on board the SECOND:
'The king, followed by five wives and
four children, of whom one is hand
some boy, then came forward in a silk
mantle striped with black and blue and
elegantly draped. His head was bare,
and he had on his feet sandals held on
by crossed bands embroidered in woods
of many coiors. lie smoked a large
ebony pipe, the bowl and shank of
which were cireled with silver. His
French is limited to bon jour and
ami and am the first white woman
he ever saw, and the sight Of me aston
ishcd him. lie ut first gazed at me,
then roared with laughter, and, when
he had laughed till he was tired, looked
around and asked where my husband
was. The interpreter having pointed
him out, he took him by the shoulder
and gave him friendly shake, which
was as much as to say: WHAT a lucky
fellow you are. One of the five wives
cooks. She has lost all her teeth. The
others stand around the deposed king.
The youngest always has in her hand
d wooden bowl filled with sawdust. 1t
is his spittoon. She is the favorite.
The children are very nice. Behanzin
is elderly, about fifty-five, and has a
white head of hair. He. hardly knows
how to. walk, because, on account OF
his rank, he has always been carried. =

IN LONDON STREETS.
Public Vehicles and the Way They Are
Handled.

Public Vehicles and the Way They Are
Handled.
As rule the carelessness OF the
driver varies somewhat in proportion
to the invulnerability of the vehicle he
drives. The driver of the hanson cab,
says the London Spectator, though he
often outrivals Jehu in the speed and
fury of his driving, is always on the
alert, and rarely fails to pull up his
horse in midcareer and avoid the col
lision which threatens him. To travel
swiftly, to cut in and out of slower
carriages, is the life of the hanson.
We engage it for that purpose, and it's
driver seldom d;sappoints us But the
hanson is an extremely vulnerable We
hicle; even in collision with the four
wheeler it will surely fare the worse.
Hence it comes about that the driver
of hanson keeps sharp lookout for
obstacles and prefers pulling his horse
on his launches to running over the in
nocent foot passenger.
1t is curious that, with all their
speed, both hansoins and butchers
carts-by far the swi:test of the
wheeled denizens of our streets, have
fewer accidents laid to their account
than their slower fellows. The om-
nibus driver is also of q careful nature.
He, too, conducts a carriage that can
not go into action with impunity. The
omnibus can afford to bully the ham
som or therbrougham, but it dare not
iostle the van of its own size. And as
regards foot passengers, the driver has
a natural tenderness toward an unpro-
tected race who supply him with fares.

America would be called meat come.

member of the chamber of deputies,
and much given to long speeches.
Ono day he found another deputy
conversing in the lobby with a man
whose face seemd familiar to him, but
whom he could not remember. He fan.

LEARNING pY SIGHT.
The Marvellous Work OF n Modeler from
Memory.

Memory.
Danton, the celebrated caricaturist,
had wonderful power of modelling
from memory. After one long look at
his subject, he coulo go to mis- studio
and make a bust quite perfect in its re-
semblance.
One day a young man came to him,
saying that liis sister was i'll and about
to die, and that, although the family
wished her bust modelled, they dared
not excite her by mentioning it. Would
he undertake to reproduce her features
after seeing her once? Danton agreed,
and next day the brother informed his
sister that he intended to present her
with some jewels. and that young
man would bring some specimens for
her approval.
Danton brought in the jewels, and,
going home, modelled a bust of striking
resem blance. Next year an old gentle
mai, the father OF the young woman,
came to order bust of the brother,
who also had died. This, too, was a
marvellous success
The result of such planning, however,
was not always as satisfactory to his
patrons as in these cases. A gentleman
who could not persuade his wife to sit
asked Danton to enter a certain omni-
bus one day, and fix in his memory the
features of the lady opposite him.
He did so, modelled beautiful bust,
and sent it home. 1t proved, however,
to be, not the mistress, but the maid,
who had also taken the trip in the ON

I'm, month Wit,,out a Moon.

A remarkable freak in moon phases
was noted in the month of February,
1856, month which has gone into as
Economical annals as "the month with
out full moon" In thnt year January
and March each had two full moons,
but February none. A writer in a
leading astronomical journal uses the
following language in describing it:
"i,o you realize what rare thing in
nature IL was? 1t has not happened
before since the beginning of the
Christian era, or probably since the
creation of the world. 1t will not oc-
cur again, according to the computa-
tions of the astronomer royal of Eng
land, for how long do you think? Not
until after two million and q half years
from 1896"
