A NEW SOUP SPOON.

A Desired Improvement Which Will Be
Appreciated by Moustached Diners.
Destiny Is shaping the end of the man
who for years has been breaking hearts by
his efforts 10 fetch the point Of his soup
spoon "head on" between the wings of his
moustache. He may refuse to be shaped,
of course, and may continue to disiocate
his shoulder at each mouthful and to
wreck frill of his neighbor's sleeve at
each hosting cf his elbow, but he can no
longer in fashionable houses get the point
of his spoon into his mouth.
And the reason is lise that which the
little boy gave for refusing to give the core
OF his apple. There wasn't going 10 be
any core, and there ism any point to the
new soup spoon. A round SPOON not so
very unlike miniature ladle in its shape
as TO entirely escape the ca umny, has
been eagerly adopted by those who like
p-to-date services, and is now being
those who follow fashion.
Very heavy single spoons of the new
style were sold Tor Christmas gifts at 81
and s. each, but lighter ones of the usual
weight for soup spoons are sold at from
$50 to $50 u dozen. A chrysanthemum

spoons and similar small tableware having
been sold by them in q few days.
To make a rather esthetic comp,nio n
for the new soup spoon, that it may not
go forth in 70 the world alone so TO speak,
there is to be the debut this week of posi-
lively new pastry fork.

tain where to run to. l remem ber a cat
used to pass near the old Medici Church
OF San Spirito. She seemed TO live on one
OF the upper floors of large house, and
she could only look up TO her window by
sitting in the middle OF the street. She
would never answer my greeting, but con-
unued to look up as if watching her
friends, or perhaps signaling to them that
she was ready to go home.
There is a spec al cat hurch in Florence,
San Lorenzo, the church in which so many
Medlci are buried. l don't know whether
that family was particularly fond OF cats
or tow it happened, but the cloisters of
San Lorenzo are reserved for homeless cats,
whether they come there by themselves or
are brought by people who want to dis
pose of them. / had read in my guide
book that these animals are fed every day
at noon from scraps brought in by people
from the neig b borhood, so was particular
to time my first visit at noon, and was
disappointed to hear that for some reason
the break ast hour had been changed TO

There is a large raised green center in
the clolsters, on which grow some shrubs
and trees; and asleep under the bushes
or lettering around the stone ledge that
inclosed the green were u dozen or two
of the charity cats. Legend says they are
witches, who have consented TO take this
harmless shape and to keep out of mis-
chief. They were a rather dilapidated-
looking lot, but still interesting. because
all cats have a great deal of individ uality,
and, when possible, of independence also.

A Good Story Told of the Late Joseph
Il McCullagh,
One of the best stories of the late Jos ph
B. McCullagh is his own account of how
he prevented the denomination of Schuy-
ler Colfax for Vice President in 1872, say
the ST. Louis Republic.
AS Mr.. McCuilagh described the event.
Colfax had treated the newspaper repre-
sentatives who had legitimate business
with him in Washington very shabbily,
and thus prepared the way for a hos tile
demonstration on their part. Mr.. Nc
Cullagh took up the cause of the Wash
ington correspondents and at the Phila-
delphia convention was chosen to lead
their movement against Colfax.
The first step was to secure rival can.

before the convention opened Henry Will

Iohn w. Forney, the editor of the Phila-

just at the right juncture McCullagh
raked up an old letter that Colfax had
written to the New York Tribune in 1869.
announcing that at the com pletion OF his
penang official term he would not be a
candidate tor denomination, it beng his
determination TO retire permanently from
political life. This letter was written at
Inc Time when the war upon Grant was at
Its height, and McCuliagh shire wdly real :
lied that it would be accepted by the
delegates to Philadelphia as Colfax's pub
lie reputation OF Grant and his admins
tration. In less than two hours the
letter WAS in type and was circulated by
means OF hand bills all over Phiade lphia.
In this way the impression was created
that IN the very midst of General Grant s
sorest troubles his lieutenant had volun-
tarily assisted III the conspiracy 10 kill
n!m II nau llS elect; so, when the con-
vention met, Colfax's hold was thoroughly
unsettled. Grant was nominated by ac-
clamat The first ballot for Wee
President result in a stand off between
Coifax and Wilson, some Southern States
having thrown idle complimentary votes.
NcCullagh stood on the platform near
the presiding officers desk. He knew
there was likely 10 be a stampede, and
that if the States were recognized in al
phabetical order Wilson might Yet be
slaughtered; stampeders invariably go as
they are led. ana Alabama was liable to
change to Colfax.
Alabama was already on her feet clam
oring for recognition.
Recognize Virginia." whispered Nc
Cullagh TO Judge Settle. president of the
convention, and Judge Settle did so.
Virginia changed her vote from Colfax
to Wilson, as had been arranged in ad-
vance. That started a hurrah, and the
stampede was turned the way McCuIlagh
wanted.
Colfax's private secretary stood just be-
hind McCullagh at that moment. When
Virginia announced her change McCul-
lagh turned and said:
You may go and tell Colfax he is
beaten, and that the newspaper men did
it,"
This performance McCullagh always re-
parded as one of the cleverest political
strokes he had ever made.

THE LARGEST BRIDGE.
A Great Structure Recently Erected
Over tho Danube River.

A Great Structure Recently Erected
Over tho Danube River.
The longest railroad bridge in Europe,
and, in fact, the world. was recently
opened to traffic with great ceremony.
The new railroad bridge over the Danube
River at Czernavoda is one of the lost
imrartant technical achievements of re-
cent date. For more than nine mile, this
bridge crosses the Danube proper and the
so-called inundation which is annually
under water for a certain period of time.
The largest spans are over the main cur
rent of the river, there being one of $40
feet and four of 455 feet each. The total
length of the bridge proper. without any
approaches, is 1885 feet, while the
largest railroad bridges in the world meas
ure as follows: Tay bridge, Scotland.
10, 725 feet; Mississippi bridge a: Mem
phis. 10 900 feet; the Forth bridge, Scot
land, 1900 feet; The Morody bridge, in Ga
Iicia. 4800 feet, and the bridge over the
Volga, near sysran, 400 feet.
Tne clear height OIL the bridge over tho
main channel is so calculated that even al
high water the largest vessels sailing on
the Danube may pass under is. The Gle ar
height OF the distance from high. water
mark, which is tax en- at 35 teet above low
water marx, measures 100 ieet 10 the low

the bridge piers rest reach to rock bottom

Roumanian Government has Just cause
to be proud OF this magnificent structure
which enables travellers from London to
Constantinople or India to shorten their
trip by fully sixteen hours. The promise
of diyerting transcontinental mails from
other lines was the most potent factor in
bringing about the construction of this
bridge over the Danube on tho part OF
