The Northheld Bridge VIII BE Built.

The lower branch of the legislature has
passed to be engrossed the senate bill for
the building of bridge over the Connect
cut river in Mortified. The amendments
proposed last week Thursday by Mr.. Par
sons of Greenfield were adopted with only
small opposition. AS the bill stands, the
building of the bridge is postponed only
about six months later than it would have
been under the bill as it passed the house
at first. The building is made contingent
upon the approval of the location by the
county commissioners as the best for the
public convenience and in respect of cost.
If the location is not approved as the best
one of three, then the bridge will not be
built. The three locations mentioned are
Munn's ferry, Benefits meadow ferry and
some point between these. The leading
petitioners are so sure that the site of Ben
netts meadow ferry is so much superior to
the others that they are willing to risk the
building of the bridge altogether upon that
one point. The bill also provides that not
over 20 per cent of the cost shall be assessed
upon the county. Mortified must pay
half of the cost of repairing and maintain
ing the bridge. The other half must be
apportioned among the other towns bene-
fitted by the bridge and no part of the re-
pairs or maintenance shall be put upon the
county.

a Dreadful HNi1-up. .

1t is the custom in the old world to
send babies to church for BAPTISM when
they are eight DAYS old-at which age
their mothers are commonly unable to
accompany them. In certain parts of
France the infants are borne by their
nurses. but in other parts the god-par-
ents bear them from the house to the
altar.
Not long ago, at the village OF Rscou-
Jtoux near Theirs, three families of
peasants from the rural districts not far
away. assembled for the christening of
three little sons. The families we're
strangers to one another, but had all
taken quarters at the single inn Of the
village. For convenience, the innkeep-
er's wife had put all three of the babies
i'm the same bed.
When the hour for the christening
came, the god-parents all in excellent
humor, and making common celebra-
tioD of the affair, came and got the
babies and took them to the church. All
went well during the ceremony, but on
the return to the inn it was found that
the various god-mothers, or the priests
or some one else had hopelessly mixed
the children up.
Naturally the god-pare1ts did not
know how to distinguish the babies very
well, because most of them had not seen
them until that day, and, except to a
mother or nurse, there Is nothing
very individual about baby eight days
old. The babies were all dressed in
pure white, in clothes made exacly in
the same way.

BETTER THAN Any HOTEL.
The HumbIeSt Home is a Million
Times Better Than the
Finest Hotel.

Home life eements the love OF hus-
band and wife; other modes of living
often loosen the ties, writes Edward W.
Box in the November Ladies' Home
Journal. "Nor does the question of
expense excuse the not having Of ones
own home. A home is not OF necessity
q palace. The humblest cottage is
million times better than the most
luxurious hotel ever planned by the
hands of man. In the one happiness
is probable: in the other just possible.
We can talk all we choose about mar
ried happiness; that it, after all, rests
solely between two people, and that
it makes no difference where they live.
That is very good as theory. But
thousands of instances prove the con-
trary; that the theory will not work
out in practice. Happiness depends
uoon the growth of the people who are
parts of it. People who stop and stag
nate are never happy. True happiness
thrives on what it feeds upon. Let
stagnation enter into two lives, and
happiness becomes stagnant and I'M
healthy. But let our lives be filed
with contentment, with domestic pleas
ure, with that germ of evolution which
springs from the hearthstone, and the
happiness which springs from those
elements is purer, sweeter and more
satisfying to our natures. our mind:
and our souls. A man and wife were
made to abide together in inseparable
lives, and as new elements come into
that union to sweeten and hallow it
the abiding place should be some little
place, some corner in this big world
which they can call their own, their
very own, where everything around
them speaks of the husbands energy
and the wife's achievement. That i:
home"
