anniversary number full OF good things. Per-
haps the most pertinent of ali the essays Is the
one with which Mr.. James Lane Allen

his conclusions are suggestive We have

implies Refinement. De!icacy. Grace and

His Vow Broken.

For more than twenty years William
II. Jerolamen, of Morristown, n. J..
was silent in his home. He made q
vow and kept it until death faced him
Then he broke the oath, spoke to mis-
wife. kissed her and died.
One day back in the seventies. after
a trif1ing quarrel, he said to his wife
III never speak to you again as long
as l live" At that time he was 5S
years old. He kept his VOW and lived
on, utterly ignoring the woman who
had shared his joys and sorrows SO
long. They lived in cottage at Mount
Arlington, Morris County; but, as far
as JerOlamen was concerned. it was as
if his wife was not living.
She bore the slight without a mur.
mur. He dined in silence and alone
and so did she. Often Mrs. Jerolamen
had to speak to her husband in refer.
ence to household affairs, but he never
answered.
He was a church member, being one
OF the organizers of the Mount Airing
ton Methodist Episcopal Church. LII
1874 the toI7n was divided ON the cues
ton of prohibition. The old man tried
to induce the members Of the church
to indorse the cold water ticket at tht
town election, but they refused. Ht
swore that he would never go to churcl
again. He kept his word in this as ht
had toward his wife.
Thus his life went ON in silence an(
gloom. One morning he could mo-
arise, for pneumonia had laid it's grill
upon him. He was 80 years old, ant
he felt that he could not recover. His
wife bent over him with a love that al
his harshness never had killed. HI

There may be no conscious process

Her Di nitY Melted.

Just about this time and for month
or more longer look out for anecdotes
of Queen Victoria. There promises to
be a large crop of them, and many are
already being harvested. Some are
quite true and authentic, while more
are not, but it is never good plan TO
spoil a readable story because of lit
tie question of veracity. One of the
most recent Victorian anecdotes is told
by correspondent of the Chicago
Times Herald, who declares that Vic
toria has ever been very exacting in
the matter of court etiquitte. When
she holds a reception she always in
sists upon the performance of every
detail of custom. Persons who are for
tunate enough to be invited to court
have therefore, to drill themselves and
rehearse their parts, for fear of offend
ing the Queen by any little neglect Of
manners. Now and then, however, her
majesty unbends. On one occasion, in
very hot weather, she was receiving a
line of sweltering nOblemen and ladies.
Everybody was suffering from the
heat The Queen turned to an attend
ant suddenly and exclaimed: My!
Amt it hot" 1t is court etiquette new

addressed replied: Yes, madam, you

Keepine Milk Sweet.

Why does milk turn sour? 1t is only
because it has been exposed to oxygen,
which originates fermentation, and
thus produces acidity. If fresh milk,
warm from the cow Is preferable, is
heated to a temperature Of 16O, so as
to kill the germs in it, and is then put
in bottles that have been sterilized by
heating to the boiling point, such milk,
if kept corked, will keep sweet during
the hottest weather for twenty-four
hours. Instead of using cork small
piece of cotton may be inserted in the
neck of the bottle. This heating of the
milk prepares it all the better for use of
babies. In fact, milk ought always to
be thus heated before being used by
old or young The advantage os doing
this while the milk is warm from the
COW is that less of the cream rises than
If the milk is first allowed to COOL

1t appears he bought bike. AS nat

there was more rue at the exit. He

BRIDGE OF GREAT SIZE
Il Is to Span the Mississippi Above
New Orleans

E. L. Corthell, chief engineer. and
e. Il. Connor, assistant engineer. have
just completed the drawings and stud
les for a bridge so remarkable that it
will attract general attention through
out the civilized world. 1t is to span
the Mississippi River at Twelve Mile
Point, between four and five miles
above New Orleans.
This bridge is to be railroad struc
ture, double tracked, connecting all
lines OH the east and west banks of the
river 1t will be when the river is at
its highest, S5 feet from the waters
surface. At the point where water
meets the land, the height of the rail
will be 100 feet above the earth At
each end of this great structure, the
approach will be G5S0 feet long, the
grade being 1.5 per cent The length of
the structure between piers will be
ESQ feet. The length from approach
to approach, the points referred to be-
ing those farthest from the shore. will
be 1o,4OO feet, total length of nearly
three miles.
Perhaps the most interesting feature
OF the bridge from an engineering
standpoint is the great length of clear
span required, LOCO feet. This fact
must be considered carefully, because
only when this is tie case can the great
task THAI confronts the engineers be
appreciated, owing to the character of
the river bed. The bed of the Missis-
sippi River at this point, and the
ground far ON each side, is all alluvial
material upon sand. The ground over
which the approaches pass is made en-
tirely OF river deposits. Borings to the
depth of over thousand feet have
been made in New Orleans, and moth
ing encountered except loam, sand, and
some shallow layers of clay.
The bed of the Mississippi a few feet
below the surface is of clean sand. On
either side and beneath the sites OF the
proposed approaches, borings have been
made 200 feet deep. Fifty feet below
low WAGER mark, clean SAND was found
which grew cOarSer as the depth of the
borings increased. 1t is upon this sort
Of a bottom that the foundations of this
tremendous structure must rest. The
shore piers will rest ON pneumatic ca1s-
sons sunk 100 feet below low water
mark. The piers are to be constructed
of what is called granite face stones
and concrete backing.
An excellent idea of the immensitv
OF the structure can be gained from the
fact that the total height of the river
piers from the bases of the caissons to
the top Of the ornament ON the truss
post will be $50 feet. The approach
spans of the bridge are to be supported
upon steel towers of enormous tensile
strength. The total length of the iron
structure will be 1864 feet, ler 9Th

world can boast

Land for Biackberries,

Blackberries will generally dc well
on low land. if winter protection is
given but if the hardy varieties are
used without protection, high land
should be chosen. The soil should be
neither the light sand nor heaviest clay.
In fertiliZing, bear in mind that ground
rich in potash and phosphOric acid
makes strong, firm wood, and greatly
aids seed formation, while that excess
lively rich in nitrogen makes the wood
soft and succulent and easily winter
killed; hence, all the wood ashes should
be saved for the blackberry patch. Hav-
ing our ground deeply worked and sub
soiled, we plow furrows about eight
feet apart and six inches deep, set
plants abont three feet apart, taking

he Durrant murder case in Califor-

The Durrant murder case in CalifOr-
MIA may be studied for some of the
features of our criminal law which not
infrequently contribute to a miscar-
riage of justice, and are strong incen-
tives in some communities to lynching.
That the man is guilty Of the crime
charged that he murdered that unfor-
tunate girl and hid the body in that
church loft, has been clearly establish
ed before jury, and their finding in
dorSed by a court of competent juriS-
diction. The Governor of the State had
the case before him on an appeal for
pardon. He is a lawyer, and he exam
ined it carefully. But he declined to
interfere with the execution of just
sentence. Several years had gone by,
and at last. when every local device
had been exhausted by Durrant's attor-
neyS to defeat the carrying out of the
sentence, they decided upon this last
resort, and so took the case to the Su-
preme Court. This works a respite,
and Durrant will get at least six
months more time. Unfortunately, the
records of our procedure in criminal
cases are full of this sort of thing. And
it extends to cases of the highest rela-
ton. The case of Guiteau is directly
in point. There was never for mo-
ment the slightest doubt about that
wretch's guilt He was taken red
handed. And, in addition, in his poor
way, he confessed his crime and ex-
planned all that had led up to it. His
victim was the President of the United
States, and every consideration, both
of example and justice, called for a
swift punishment of the horrible deed.
But the procedure was slow. Months
elapsed before an indictment was
found and a somewhat theatrical trial
begun, and it was almost year before
the wretch, whose guilt had stood as
well established the day after General
Garfield's death as it then stood, was
brought ON the ScaffOld for execution.
1t is urged, of course, that where life
is at stake an accused man should have
every chance to present his case. No
issue Is fairly to be taken with that
fair trial has been had, and competent
lawyers have represented the accused
and brought out every point in his ia
vor, and a verdict of guilty is then pro-
nounced, the sentence of the court
should be promptly executed. These
speciOus pleas and delays, founded fire.
quently upon points which the Supreme
Court has already decided, serve only
ends that mock the proper administra-
tion of justice. and account to some eX-
tent for the disposition, too frequently
indulged in, to try cases in the court of
Judge Lynch. ''They do these things
better in France" And very much bet
ter in England. In the treatment of
criminals, indeed, England shows much
we could copy with profit.
