A Novelty In Bridge Building.

The new bridge at Van Buren, street
over the Chicago river, as the great oper
sewer that runs through the Windy City
Is called, is something of curiosity in
bridge building. The structure is various
ly termed rolling lift and a rocking bias
Guile. The bridge is divided in the middle,
and each section is formed at the shore
end in the shape of huge rocker that
rests upon the abutments. In opening
each section turns back upon its rockers,
raising the adjacent ends of the sections at
the middle Electric power is used, and
compressed air brakes are automatically
set by the cessation of the current. 1t is
asserted that this device insures absolute
safety When the bridge is open, the free
way in the river is 100 feet in width. The
rolling lift bridge is the first of the kind
In this country 1t marks a great depar-
ture in bridge construction.-New York

THE LATEST FAD.
The Up to Date Woman Plays Poker ia
While Away Time During Lent.

The Up to Date Woman Plays Poker ia
While Away Time During Lent.
The destinations of poker have captured
the women of New York, and the end is
not yet And since the women have taken
1t up it is safe to conjecture that poker
was never played in the daytime to the
extent it has been since the season of Lent
set in, and the worldly minded have re-
sorted to it as Lenten diversion. A care
full canvass of the situation has revealed
the fact that the tall apartment houses,
the family hotels, the mansions wherein
dwell New York's eminently respectable,
God fearing women are hotbeds of poker
The poker matinee Is the new fad. 1t
was inaugurated in Boston more than two
winters ago An invitation to a poker
matinee includes an invitation to lunch
con at l o'clock-rather an informal
luncheon to be served in the least time
possible-and the game begins at 2 or
half past Q. The garish light of day is ex
cluded by the window hangings, while the
crimson or pink or yellow lamp shades
throw soft light ON the fair players. Per
haps couple of men drop in at o'clock,
but they are not wanted. Men change the
luck, and the woman who has been win
ming all the afternoon begins to lose. The
poker matinee gets on better and more
satisfactorily when the men stay away.
The gaming table was in vogue In
George Washington time. and some per
sons think it is only matter of a season
or SO before it will form an article of fur
niture in the New York drawing room.
The table of continental times had little
mother of pearl cups set in it wherein our
illustrious ancestors kept their coin. AS
notice of the poker matinee never gets
into the society column under that name
1t is evident that society is still little
discreet, If not exactly shamefaced, about

Small Boy.
Bishop Thorold holds that 1t is dan
gerous thing, even when right is on your
side, to challenge personal controversy
with children. The chances are the child
wins, as he clearly did on one occasion.
On an ocean steamer a few years ago an
English clergyman was in close converse
ton with lady, when a small boy of g
years old lounged up and coolly Joined in
The incautious divine, thinking it well to
administer a reproof to the child, who had
become an awful nuisance to everybody,
looked as grave as he could and observed
My young friend, when l was your age
little boys did not join the conversation of
their elders until they were invited" The
reply was instant and would have been
more crushing but for the fact that the
supposed aged one was well under 60 and
did not look his years. But it was straight
and gave much joy. II guess that was 70
or 80 years ago, you bet" Probably that
