Web Wilder recites in his "Annals OF
Kansas" that in 1854, when the first tide
of New England settlers began to drift
hitherward, the Missourians tied cow
TO each crossing of the Missouri river.
When an immigrant arrived at the
crossing he was certain to make some
cemark about the animal, and If he
said "cow" he was suffered to cross, but
AZ he said "keow" he was hustled back
east and out of the country as bloody
minded abolitionist. In retaliation for
this 1t Is said the Kansas fellows tied
p bear on their side of the river, and
when an immigrant crossed who called
1t bear" he was welcomed with open
arms, but the fellow who called it "bar"
vas scooted back into Missouri as an un-
welcome slavery advocate.

THIRTY-TWO CHILDREN.

ty Record for Austria.
If any woman ever deserved well of
her country, the lady in question is
Viennese who has just been described
nv DR.. Alois Nalenta in the Wiener
Medicinische Wochenscrift. Her mer-
its consist in having given many more
subjects and soldiers to the emperor
than any of his female subjects. Of
course she is poor. AS matter of fact,
she is the wife of needy linen weaver
of Neuerchenfeld. in Vienna, and, if she
did not give her husband big mar
rage portion, she presented him with
no less than 80 children, and she is still
comparatively young, being only in her
fortieth year. She has been themother
of &c boys and girls.
The birth of the 80 childrensoccurred
in this wise. and in the following or
der: At the first birth were born four;
at the second, three; at the third.
four; at the fourth, two; at the fifth,
three; at the sixth, two; at the seventh,
three; at the eighth, three; at the
ninth, two; at the tenth, three, and at
the eleventh three. The mother nursed
all her children herself. Another
strange feature of the case is that the
mother suffered from her fifteenth
wear weekly, and sometimes daily, from
epileptic fits, which so far have not
been inherited by the children. She
herself was one of four at birth, and
her maternal parent in her time sue
ceeded in presenting her spouse with no
less than SO children.

THE EARTH AND THE SUN.

The earth derives 90 per cent. of its
energy from the sun.
The suns surface is so intensely
bright that an electric light held against
ii would look black.
The theory of meteors colliding with
the sun, an old and once popular idea
advanced in accounting for the suns
heat, is now rejected.
The only real concordance between
sun spots and terrestrial happenings is
the fact that magnetic storms are more
numerous and vary in intensity in a re-
markable manner with the size and
number of sun spots

The boston Music Hall Organ.

The great music hall organ, once the
pride of Boston, which has been stored
in a shed for the last ten years, is to
be sold. 1t cost more than 100000 and
weighed nearly 70 tons. 1t was finished
on October 81, 1863, and the public was
invited to hear it on November 2. An
ode was written by Mrs. James 7.
Fields and was recited by Miss Char
lotte Cushman. Although it was looked
upon almost as sacred thing and re-
ferred to as "tbe hope of art in future
years." it was kicked out in 1884 be-
cause more room for the permanent
orchestra was needed.

A MAN OF CONSCIENCE.

Wouldn't Imperil a Sinless Life by q
Power of Attorney.
II have run across curious people of
many Sorts" said the observant Jersey
man the other day, reports the New
York Sun, but had an experience with
a person recently who seemed to me
the strangest of all. was engaged in
settling up an estate in which there was
likely to be litigation, and l had con-
cluded to get powers of attorney from
as many of the heirs at law as possible
in order to save expense and expedite
matters. ! came to New York to see
one of the heirs, and found him grave
and able business man. When / eX-
planned the situation he readily agreed
that the course | intended to pursue
was the best, and promised to assist me
in it.
"'Then,' said ], L suppose you will
sign this power of attorney and laid
the paper before him. No. he an
swered, decidedly. And why not?'
Upon religious grounds he said.
For many years l have been endeavor-
ing to live life that should be free from
mortal sin, and so far believe have
escaped any act that is beyond forgive
ness; but could not think of putting
my name to a paper which authorized
anyone to act in my name, for fear that
the person might do some act which my
conscience could not approve, and which
being done in my name would everlase
ingly condemn me. l cannot give you
or anyone else a power of attorney"

The Hartford Courant tells a story
of Yale in The old days. The boys used
to bride the printers devils" to get
proofs of the examination papers for
them. When the college authorities
put stop TO this practice a bright idea
seized one fellow, and he saved the
whole suffering party. He hired one Of
the printers lit was summer) to wear
a pair of white trousers 10 the office,
and at noon to sitdown on the form" in

trousers sold for a deal more than the
clothes were worth in their original
spotlessness, and relief was secured.

Let us stop the worry, dear;
Things are coming right,
Sing your heart song OF cheerI
Give your eyes the light.
Luck is with the bold OF heart,
God with those that smile:
We but need to do our part
Yet little while.
Fortune, but to hide her frown,
When she sees your eye
Dlmmed with tears and dropping down
Lightly passes by.
Meet her look with ne'er fear;
Soon her eyes will light,
Let us stop the worry, dear;
Things are coming right.

MT sandvIches with cider.

Nut sandwiches are excellent served
with cider. The cider should not be
too sweet, or It will not be agreeable
with the flavor Of the nuts. For the
filling of the sandwiches use one-half
of almonds chopped very fine and the
other two parts of hickory nuts and
English walnuts in equal proportions.
Put very little butter on the thin
slices of bread, sprinkle with salt and
then with very little grated mild
cheese.

The Young and the old

The young year wove her crocus silk
And trimmed her daisy frills,
And fashioned with fairy hand
The cups Of her daffodils;
She curtained chambers for the birds,
And sang as young things may
Youth and gladness rule the world
And summer will last Away.
The old year sits in the whispering wood
And dyes her faded gown,
And dreams of days in the fragrant fields
When she wove loves rose-red crown;
The asters shake in her chilly breath
AS she croons an old folks rhyme
Since summer is Ger we must make the best
OF the snow-cold winter time

A maiden sat within the door
And sang as many times before.
A man to daily toll passed by,
No love nor pleasure lit his eye,
But when he heard the merry song
He whistled as he went along.
A woman by the window wept
For one who in the churchyard slept,
But when upon her hearing fell
That tune she knew and loved so well,
The flood of burning tears was stayed,
And soon a song her lips essayed.
Her neighbor heard the tender strain,
And softly Joined the sweet refrain.
Thus, all day long that one song bore
Its joyousness from door to door.

A GREAT STRUCTURE.
It Spans the Harlem River at New

Completion of the New York Gem tral's FOur-Track Draw-brtdGe and an Immense Steel
 Viaduct.

One of the most remarkable feats of engineering on record is just com p!eted, and tho passenger entering New York from the north now rides over one of the grandest examples of steel railway construction yet accom- plished in this age of marvellous results in that direction.
 Going south, at One Hundred and Forty-ninth street, the tracks of the New York Central begin to rise gradu' ally, and at One Hundred and Thirty Fifth street they cross the Harlem river on the new four-track steel draw bridge, at an elevation of 24 feet above high tide.
 This massive structure is remarkable in being the first four-track draw. bridge ever constructed, and is the

began September 1, 1893, and has com tinued without cessation until now, and will cost when completed considerably more than $3.000,000. The completion of the new work will permit the open ing of all cross streets under the rail- way and so permit perfectly free passage for street traffic.
 One Hundred and Thirty-eighth street, which has become a great thor oughfare, will be entirely free, as the trains which heretofore crossed 1t at grade will pass over it at an elevation that will allow street cars and all traf- fife perfect freedom. At One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street the tracks will cross the street IA feet above the level of the street, and at this point mag nificent passenger station is to be built, extending from One Hundred and Twenty-fifth to One Hundred and Twenty-sixth street, under the four track viaduct.
 This improvement will be of immense value to the entire state-in fact. to the whole country-as the bridge, being so high above the water, will never have to be opened except when large steamers or vessels with masts are to pass

largest bridge of the kind in the world. It is i00 feet long and weighs 2.5o0 tons. The draw-bridge is 5s feet inches wide, from center to center of outside trusses, snd is carried on three very heavy tTusscs. Between the central and each of the two side truSses is a clear space of 2G feet, which permits the passage of two sets of double tracks. The floor is corrugated, and the rails arc boltcd tO 1t on steel tie plates. The trusses Of the draw-bridge span are C4 feet high in the center and % feet high Ut each end. AL the highest part of these trusses is situated the engine house, which con tains two oscillating double-cylinder engines, which turn the draw and can be worked together or separately, so that if one should break down at any time. the other can do the work.
 From One Hundred and Thirty eighth street south the four new tracks run over the steel viaduct to One Hun dred and Tenth street, and thence by the stone viaduct to Che Hundred and Sixth street, where they strike the level of the present four-track line.
