down what was left Just to show that

He soon convinced me that there were
two kinds of cigars in the box, some
that he had sold me and some that

A Novel Bridge at Rouen.

This novel engineering work is called
"pont transbordeur" and is designed
to fulfill all the purposes of bridge,
while it will offer no obstruction to the
passage of ships with towering masts
On each side of the river will be erected
a small Eiffel tower, about 40 feet in
height, and these towers will be joined
at the top by latticework bridge upon
which lines of rails will be laid. On
these rails will run a skeleton platform,
which can be pulled from side to side
by the agency of steam or electricity.
From this platform, which will be 160
feet above the quays, will depend steel
wire ropes, which will support at the
level of the river banks slung carriage
large enough to accommodates tram car
full of passengers, besides other vehicles.
1t is intended that this novel form of
bridge shall be in connection with the
tram system at both sides of the river,
so that passengers can be carried across
the river without leaving their seats in
the cars. The work of building the tow
ers has already been commenced, and it
is expected that the bridge will be open
for traffic in Is months time. 1t is said
that the only continuance bearing any
resemblance to this ''pont transbor-
deur" is in operation at Bilbao. Cham

Life of the Sultan.

Richard Davey, in his book, "The
Sultan and His Subjects" says:
AS to the sultan himself, his life is
of the simplest and most arduous. He
rises at 6 and works with his secreta-
ries until noon, when he breakfasts.
After that he takes drive or a row on
the lake. within his vast park When
he returns, he gives audience to the
grand vizier, the sheik-ul-islam, and
other officials. At o'clock he dimes,
sometimes alone, not infrequently in
company with one of the ambassadors.
Occasionally his majesty entertains the
wives and daughters of the ambassadors
and other Pera notabilities at dinner.
The meal, usually very silent one, is
served in gorgeous style, la Franchise,
ON the finest of plate and the most ex-
quisite of porcelain. The treasures Of
silver and the Sevres at Yildiz are hors
de ligne, both in quantity and quality.

bleeding, itching and protruding piles,
no matter how old or serious the case
may be. No pain, no operation, no

How much of woman's life happiness is
lost for lack of harmony. A hundred sweet
The herald., 1897-02-16

at the recent conference on national
seacoast defence at Tampa, Fla, Mr.. A
b. Farquer, manufacturer of agricuI-
tural implements at York, Pa, said:
Is the citizen more secure against per-
sonal violence in society as we have it
now than in society as it was a century
ago or not? The question seems almost
absurd, so remarkable has our progress
been. And yet the gentlemen of that
day went habitually armed, the short
sword forming an indispensable part of
a fashionable attire, and the preserva-
ton of safety and honor being deemed
impossible without them. Are not the
forts you are asked to rear about our
harbors, the armored ships you are
asked to hold at bay before our cities, ex-
actly the short swords of the body poll
tic; potent to irritate, impotent to pre-
serve, in peace an ever-present incentive
to bloodshed, courting more violence
than they ward off? The man is quick
to draw the sword when he has it at
hand, but even Homer prime war poet
of the world, could observe that "the
sword often draws the man.
Nations are made up of the same kind
of men as societies; the same factors
are apt to work in them in the same
way.
If men are safer in private life by Civ
ing up their small arms, countries may
be SAFER on the wider stage by a similar
policy. Supply general understanding
a general attachment to order, and what
has been done for the social will be done
for the national problem.
Seriously, would it not be cowardly
wasteful and ignorant to build great
system of seaboard Notifications? Cow
ardly, because it would be publishing to
the world the fact that $4,000, 900 Ameri-
cans are afraid of an imagined danger
that one-fourth of that number might
laugh at. Wasteful and eXtravagant,
because, with the rapid progress of in
vention, the plans would be obsolete be-
fore they were cOnsummated. What
would they avail against a dynamite
dropping air-ship, for instance? Igno-
rant and stupid, because no student of
nineteenth century history can look up
on an armed invasion by a foreign power
as possibility unless we bring it on our
selves, in which case we ought, perhaps,
to suffer the consequences.
Who among us failed to feel a fresh
kindling of the heart, fresh pulsation
of pride in his country and his race, in
reading, a week ago, the splendid con-
summation of months of thought and
toll, in the Olney-Pauncefote arbitra-
tion treaty? No greater triumph has
diplomacy ever reached; infinitely great
er in that it is victory for both sides,
in that it has cost the blod of no man,
the tears of no woman. This is the di-
rection to look, gentlemen, forward, and
not backward; upward, and not down.
