The Talk ola New Bridge
at Market Square.
Eighteen Foot Structure Once
Did Duty There.
II Was Built by Money That Was
Realized Frem Lottery.

OF late there has been considerable
discussion on the subject of the neces-
sity of new bridge at Market Square.
Although the project has been given up
for the present there is no doubt that
within year or two and perhaps in less
time new structure will have to be
erected at the point. In this connection
1t may be remarked that ii seems almost
impossible to one who takes the time to
watch the stream of people, cars and
other vehicles that constantly pass over
that bridge that Providence was ever so
small as to find q structure IS feet wide
sufil lcient for the needs of the traffic at
that point. And yet such Is the case for
as late as 1746a bridge of that width was
erected at that place and was used for
many years afterward. Nor was this the
first structure built at that point, for in
l7l9 bridge was rebuilt there, the one
previously spanning the river having
having been carried away ny freshet.
IL is more thsn probable that the earlier
structures were even smaller than the one
erected In 1748. In this connection Ii is
worthy OF note that 1t was the constrnc-
tion of this 1s-foot bridge that led 10 the
establishment Of the first lottery in the
State. In 1744 the General Assembly
granted authority for the establishment
of aslottery for the purpose of obtaining
funds to pay for a new bridge at Wey-
bosset street. Fifteen thousand pounds
was the amount of the scheme, 5000
pounds of which Yves to be used in pay
ing for the bridge. The town purchased
400 Of the lottery tickets, probably TO en-
courage the citizens to buy; but history
saith not whether among the 400 there
was q winner.
It would seem that there was something
of q row between the managers OF the
lottery and the committee which had
been empowered to LOOK after the build
ing OF the bridge, for in October, 1745,
the latter were notified not to proceed
with the work until further orders. When
the Assembly met Ia February following,
the COMMITTEES got even with the the lot
terry men by securing from that BODY
formal order directing the lottery man.
sgers t-~ray forthwith the 5000 pounds
into the town treasury. This was done
and work on the bridge began, and was
prosecuted without interruption to com.
pIstion. The lottery scheme thus inau-
gufatsd fourished for many years after
ware. but was finally made Illegal and
since that time has been under the ban
of the law.

among these is a beautiful vaulted
chamber which had been walled up
since the time of monastic dissolution

part of the ancient ambulatory asso

bot Ellington. Nothing can be more
simple and beautiful than the design,
the piers and capitals being exceed
ingly graceful and light in appear
ance. This unique portion of the Alb
hey, exhumed and restored by the
new canon, has become his dining
room, all its adjuncts being Of the
most harmonious character. Frescos
were also discovered at the same time
in an upper room. These wall paint
ings were probably executed at the
end of the fourteenth century, and
the work of Venetians. The designs,
grotesque, weird, and full of artistic
skill, notably in the royal arms and
feline supporters, will have special
interest for one of the orders of high
Masons, as the pictures most likely
symbolized the worship of Astarte.

NEW ENGLAND HOUSES.

The old time dwelling houses were
usually built two stories in front, with
two liberal sized front rooms, an I'M
mense kitchen, with two bedrooms,
Duttery or pantry, and a square
chamber upstairs. When it was pos
sible, all the houses fronted the south,
and told twelve O'Clock with the ac-
curacy of a chronometer. Every
window was sun dial, and often the
only e-keeper. For many years
most Of the houses were innocent Of
paper or paint, and some of plaster
ing, though kept light and clean with
frequent withdrawing. The open
beams, Orders, and walls were fes-
TONED with herbs and seeds and va
rious home products for use or orna-
ment From the roots, herbs, ber-
ries, wild flowers, and a little New
England rum our grandmothers
could prepare remedies to cure all
the Ills of body and soul.
The ireplaces occupied nearly one
side of the three large rooms, and in
the kitchen space was left for one
and sometimes two brick ovens. The
fireplace equipments were an iron
back, ornamented with various de-
signs, long crane with graduated
hooks and trammels, huge andirons,
the shovel, tongs, poker, and the
bellows. Near by was the wooden
settee. Clocks were rare. From its
high perch on the s'mantel- tree'' an
hour glass did good service. There,
too, stood a row of polished iron and
brass candlesticks, with suffers in
the tray. The cupboard and buttery
shelves glittered with rows of plat
tiers, plates, pans, pitchers and por-
ringers. These last were in common
use for drinking porridge till tea and
coffee banished them by introducing
cups and saucers. -Anlerican Monthly

THE BICYCLE AND IT'S NEEDS.

There are a good many things that
the average non bicycle rider does
not understand If he is driving
wagon or carriage he has vague no
ton that he must give part of the
road to the wheelman, and generally
does so. This is sufficient on a turn
pike, but often not SO on dirt road,
because the conditions are different.
The wheelman only wants a narrow
width to pass, but that space must be
good road. The road is likely wide
enough for two wagons to pass, but if
it is smooth only the width Of wag-
"a track, the bicycle needs part of
this smooth track. Otherwise the
rider must dismount or be thrown off
his wheel. On the contrary, the wag
on can readily pass over the rough
portion of the road. IF the wheelman
meets a load Of hay or q heavily Ia
den team that cannot SO easily turn
out he generally dismounts if the
upon his rights. No one realizes all
the necessities of what good road
consists until be rides a wheel. The
bicycle, unlike q wagon, is a fair
weather bird, and can only be used on
good roads in good weather. A gale
Of wind is even worse hindrance
than rain storm. The pressure of
the wind is not upon the light vehicle,
but upon the person of the rider, and
forms such an obstruction that no
progress on an up grade is feasible.
The invention of cheap motor that
will propel bicycles up steep hills or
against gale of wind is needed, and
just now many minds are studying
how TO accomplish this important
problem.
