An ideal, but we are assured quite
necessary, state OF cleanliness for
healthful school rooms requires that
the floors shall be dampened and

ton to this cleaning, DR.. Adams, who

lieves that at least every other day the
floors should be thoroughly scrubbed
with soap and water. The various

The famous suspension bridge at
Niagara Falls, which was built in 1855,
is to be superseded by a new steel
structure, with an arch $50 feet long
and $50 feet above the water level.
''The old bridge, built by Roebling, :"
says the Chicago Chronicle, twas one
of the modern wonders Of the world,
as it was the first suspension bridge
built for the purpose of carrying
railroad trains. The new bridge will.
however, be greater marvel of SCI
ence than the old. It will have two
floors, the upper for railway trains
and the lower for roadway, foot walks
and trolley tracks. The new bridge
will be built on the exact site OF the
cid suspension affair, but there will
be no interference with traffic, which
is one of its greatest marvels. The
work will occupy about six months"

ing out half an inch aloof from his
cheek. The sight sent Il SILVER down
my spine. It was certainly most un-
natural and eerie. His eyes were bright
and honest; his voice was soft and re-
fined; he spoke English like man and
q brother; and his character, SO far as I
had got at it through his talk, seemed
whimsical and open; but his beard, his
dashing, black, pointed beard, which I'm
not sure hadn't been envying him q
little, was peculiar; and lnstinctively I
felt for my watch. It was safe in it's
place, and so was my purse. Therefore
at the door Of the bierhaus, in due time,
we babe each other friendly good-by.

As one man we halted.
The officer rode up to US, and with
true military taciturnity vouchsafed not

And such like, so that for Conrad, on

Presently. however, came the sound
of a buglo winding in the distance. The
sound drew nearer and nearer. Pretty
