for a distance of two hundred feet: These
cables swung side by side, and. fastened
with planks so as to form q footWay, were
drawn through holes in enormous. buttresses
of stone specially constructed on each
bank, and were secured firmly at eacn END
to heavy beams of timber. A railing OF
similar osier material gave the passenger

ola and mounted rapidly at the sides. me

kept in beautiful order, the Inhabitants or
a district being responsible for that por-
ton of the highway which trayersed their
land. At the same time 1t should be re-
membered that there was mo wheel traffic

the fact that IT was not till the Spaniards

GOING WITHOUT BREAKFAST.
Connecticut People Who Eat Only
Two Meals a Day.
New London Day.

The very latest is the skip-your-break-
misunderstanding idea. 1t has been tried
by more than 100 persons in this vicinity,
and as a result of their experience you
could not get them to eat breakfast if you
were to set before them a feast such as
Lucullus was wont to enjoy or imagined he
enjoyed.
Charles c. Haskell, of Norwich. introduced
this novel idea to the people of this vicinity.
He got it from DR.. E. H. Dewey, of Mead
vile, Pa, who has been practicing it for
the last twenty years, and who finally wrote
a book concerning his theory. This book
fell into the hands of Mr.. Haskell for pub
LEGATION, and. being convinced that it's reas-
onlng was SOUND, he has been going with
out his breakfast for some time, and others
have followed his example until there are
more than 100 persons in r alone who
save on their hotel bills when they travel.
And they declare with sincerity that they
never before have felt so well as since they
have tried this new plan. Several of them
who were suffering from troublesome or
dangerous diseases quickly recovered after
they began going without their breakfasts.
There is really something more to 1T than
going without breakfast. The whole creed,
in brief, is to eat but two meals per day,
emitting the breakfast; eat only when. hum
ger for a day, a week, or longer, drinking
during all that time all the cold water
desired; drink nothing while eating, and
drink only cold water at any time; eat what
ever the hunger calls for, which will be
the food that will make the richest blood.
The point against breakfast is that, after
a person has been sleeping, his system does
stomach has also been resting, so that it is
not in condition to receive food to advant-
age. But how the followers of this idea
make the food sappear at dinner time.

In the canto on "Gpd's Existence the
poet begins:
For years I have been in a drunken con-
am intoxicated on poetic wine
Made OF the God of Natures mystic vine.
l am 50 wonderously poetic drunk
That hfe's living spark is well nigh sunk
Drinking foods Of His salvation IN.
There have / quenched my burning thirst,
Till my soul is we'll night we'll to burst
Till the worldly wise thought l was insane.
l pray to die in this sort of a drunk,
When life's living spark leaves a dying
The prophecy Of the poet is contained in
the following:
Il see disorder in the nations breast.
Increasing in the North, East. South and
There is a secret smouldering in the breeze,
Beyond the chasms of the raging briny
A terrible commotion there will be,
On the rolling ocean and darkening sea-
In his conclusion Mr.. Hyder sings the
following, and the figures of speech are to
be noticed:
since was launched on Times sea my
frail bark,
/ have encountered a most monstrous shark,
And since to the breeze l have spread my
sail,
I have been chased by Times voracious
whale"
But in the verse of the man from Piney
Flats, ridiculous as most of 1t seems, there
are many thoughts which, il expressed in
language more elegant, might find a place
in literature. There are many things which
go to show that this rustic poet of the
mountains has been thinking upon the same
questions which the wise and great men of
all ages have been thinking, with much the
same results. The tone of the book is pure,
but in his attempt to appear learned, the au-
thor appears grotesque and the good things
are lost sight of in the trash There is
little doubt but that II. H. Hyder is a
man superior in intellect to those who are
his ~neighbors. AS a leader or preacher OF
them he might have been a success, but
as a candidate for 'the poet laureateship
of the world, with banners unfurled," 1T
must be admitted that he is a failure.

Doing Away with Bath Tubs.

Rambler in New York Mail and Express.
Attention was called in this column in
the early part of last summer to the inter-
esting argument put forward by William
Paul Gerhard, civil and sanitary engineer,
in favor of the rain Tor shower oath over
1t was then predicted that the tub would
eventually be abolished in all public insti-
buttons where constant cleanliness VAS one
of the prime requisites to keep the inmates
In a healthy condition, and that in time
the builders of dwelling houses would put
now.
Utica State Hospital a report on the work
ings of the newly-introduced rain bath in
that institution. All the old tubs in which
many helpless patients were scaided, and
sometimes nearly drowned, have been taken
out COR are no longer in use), and a system
of overhead douches introduced. The floor
of the bath room is tiled, and a gutter runs
through it's middle surface, carrying of the
soiled water as fast as it falls. There are
hand sprays attached to- vertical pipes on
the wallis, and needle baths with all the
latest improved jets for stomach and liver
stimulation by fine streams of water. The
hospital authorities express themselves as
very much pleased with the new idea.
Allowing fve minutes for undressing, fif-
teen minutes for bathing and drying, and
ten minutes for dressing, each bath would
occupy thirty minutes; hence, as there are
~thirty-nine douches and sprays, seventy
eight patients can be bathed per hour, or in
hundred patients. The amount of water
used for each bather would be in ten min
five times seventy-eighO 1850 gallons per
hour. or 9, $50 gallons in five hours for bath
ing 800 patients.
OF course there is a great deal more than
this touched upon in the report. 1t goes ex-
haustively into a history of the gradual
introduction of the system into various in
situations throughout the country. 1t has
been found IN indispensable adjunct in
asylums for the insane, where patients fire.
quently suffer through the carelessness or
stupidity of attendants in the bath room.
The tub is such a time-honored institu-
ton that it seems a trifie odd now to think
of flats and private dwellings without any
bath tub and with nothing but a lot of
pipes arranged to douse one from various
points.

Great Roads of Antiquity.

LOnQOn standard.
Perhaps the earliest road on record is
that mentioned by Herodotus as having
been constructed by Cheops, the Egyptian
King, in order that stones might be dragged
along it for the pyramids. In the opinion
of the Greek traveller the work of making
the road was as great as that of building
the pyramid, for 1t took ten years to con-
struct 1t and it was composed OF polished
stones with figures carved on them. But
this does not compare in magnitude with
the highways constructed by the Peruvians,
while mediaeval Europe was still in a state
of semi-barbarous DISCRIMINATION. The two
principal roads in Peru ran from Quito. in
the north. to .Cuzco. the capital. the one
along the sandy and level strip of coast.
the other along the plateau of the Andes.
