The first iron bridges were erected
from about 1777 to 100. The same
general principles apply to the con-
struction of iron as of stone bridges,
but the greater cohesion and adapta-
bility Of the material give more liberty
to the architect and much greater width
Of span is possible.
A flying machine that will fly is said
to have been exhibited recently by
man named Lamson in Portland, Me.
The machine has wings like a bird and
is said to be about as difficult to oper-
ate as a bicycle. The inventor moved
about with considerable facility at a
distance of twenty feet from the
ground.
The port of st. Petersburg will be ex.

feet, to correspond with the depth OF

also to be enlarged, so as to hold at

time. These proposed operations are
the result of the fact that the port OF
Cronstadt is to be closed to merchant

Arizona women are out after political
privileges equal to those enjoyed by the
men, and recently a woman suffrage
association was organized In Phoenix.
For some years a few representatives
of advanced womanhood have cham
pioned the cause in Arizona, and each
successive Territorial Legislature has
been asked to pass an equal suffrage
bill. Once or twice the bill has passed
one branch and has been treated as a
joke in the other. But Statehood Is
almost in sight now, and the women
are stirring themselves to greater ef-
forts looking toward enfranchisement.
The Governor of the Territory has OK.
pressed himself as strongly in favor Of
woman suffrage.

There Ia no record of the costumes OF
the Syrian Arabs having changed dur
ing the period covered by human his
tory, either as regards male or female
dress or adornment. Saving only for
his firearms there is no reason to be-
lieve that the Bedouin Of the desert
does not clothe and adorn himself ex-
actly as he did In the days Of the patri-
archs. Arabs in the desert have con-
,tracted q strange prejudice against
running water, and they will only drink
what they fnd in some stagnant pool.
So much has this become matter OF
habit with them that, while the most
demonstrating water agrees with
them admirably, pure running water
will make them violently sick.

MICHIGAN REPUBLICANS.

Indorse Mckinley for President-Ani-
mated Fight Over Money.
An animated fight over the money ques-
ton was the most striking feature Of the
Michigan Republican convention at De-
troit. 1t resulted in squelching both the
gold plank offered by the majority and the
silver plank submitted by the minority Of
the resolutions committee. and the SUBJ
stitution therefor of the money plank Of
the Minneapolis platform of 1892. Nc
Kinley was indorsed most unequivocally
and the delegates We're strongly instruct
cd in his favor. Four delegates-at-large
were elected. two of them without con-
tests. The financial plank was as follows:
We are unyielding and uncompromising In
our demands for sound and honest money.
We are In favor of the use of gold and silver
and paper dollars In our currency, all to be
maintained at parity as to their purchasing
and debt-paying power. We are opposed to
any provision that will invite depreciation Of
any portion of our currency, and, therefore,
we are opposed to the free and unlimited
coinage OF silver by this country alone under
present conditions, and we believe that such
course would destroy the parity Of and
contract the currency.

commonplace peace. The PLATFORM en-
bodying the instructions was adopted by
a viva voce vote and without division, the
chairman's decision that the motion to
adopt had carried being received without
a challenge. Gen. Harrison did not make
his eagerly expected speech to the dele
gates and did not visit the convention at
all. The platform declares for Sound
money" favors the use of both gold and
oliver at parity, urges bimetallism on
an international basis, and condemns the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver at
ratio of 16 to 1.
1t was 1915 o'clock when the State
chairman, ]. X. GUwdy, began calling
the convention to order in Tomlinscn hall,
and 1t was fifteen minutes later when he
announced the hardly self-evident fact
that the gathering had been called to
order. After the invocation by Rev. d.

Wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant Efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that SO many forms Of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millionsof families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects IRE due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. It's therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment OF good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.

II q gypsy meets woman upon en-
tering town, he looks upon II as q
piece OF good luck and a sign that he
will collect plenty OF aims. II, on the
contrary, he encounters a man, he will
get nothing, and will probably meet
with misfortune besides.
No gypsy girl would listen to night
ingale singing when In company with
her lover; II she did, 1t would denote a
separation.
To see wolf both at the same time
is the greatest luck that can befall a
gypsy pair.
Birds seem, as rule, to bring mis-
fortune.
II q cock crows when a marriage pro-
cession Is passing, It denotes that the
couple will always be quarreling.
II geese or ducks fiy across the path,
the husband will be ground under the
heel of his wife and her female rela-
tives.
A flock Of sparrows is a, sign that the
love Of the bride and the bridegroom
will soon vanish.
Ravens or crows at wedding denote
approaching poverty.
If the birds fly to the right, the wife
will soon tire of the union! II to the left,
the husband will tire of the wife.
A flock of sheep brings luck; herd
of goats, misfortune.
A dog, donkey, cow are all signs
of good fortune.
Doves or swallows crossing the path
Of a young pair are a sign of great
riches.
II gypsy girl wishes to know how
soon she will marry, she whispers In
the ear OF the first donkey she meets,
"Shall soon have a husbandT
II the donkey moves it's ears. the girl
knows that she will marry almost i'm
mediately. If, on the contrary, the
animal shakes It's head, 1t will be some
time before she gets husband.
