Fourteen Millions Left to Charity.

An eminent ~clergymen has prepared
comparative tables showing the amount
OF money left for benevolent purposes
by testators in the United States during
the past three years. He finds that the
requests for 1897 are 81, 900, 000in excess
of those of 1896. In the former year
they were upward of $13, o00, 900, in 1897
more than $14, 600, 900. Beneficence has
other forms than that of money. Great
remedies are among the most precious
legacies. Prominent among these is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a most
effective remedy for and preventive of
malaria. Equally %eficacious is the
Bitters in cases Of dyspepsia, constipa-
ton, rheumatism, nervousness, bilious
ness and loss of appetite and sleep.

she saw was a dudish looking clerk
whose manner didn't please her at all.
She tried to find some one else to wait
on her, but she failed, and he came up
with a smile and a bow that would have
suited some people to a dot, but it only
provoked her.

rather CURLY.

"What kind, please?"
"Any kind, miss" said the clerk
breezily "every kind, all kinds. We
strive to please, miss, and we keep q

rest assured, miss, that whatever you
want in the pen line you can get in this

Silent Nuns

There are several communities of si-
 lent monks, as, for instance, the Trap pists, but these are not at all surprising in comparison with a community of si- lent women, such as are to be found in the convent near Biarritz. These silen- cieuses, or silent sisters, never speak except to their mother superior, and then only upon necessary business. When they are at meals book is read, and every Friday they eat their dinners kneeling. If one of the sisters lose her father or mother, she is not told of the loss. The mother superior simply as sembles the community and says, "The father or mother of one of you is dead" In this way the silent women cease to have individual interest in anything, or anything to talk about. Seven hours is spent in prayer, and the rest of the day in cultivating gardens and doing different kinds of laborious work. They wear white flannel clothes with a cross of black on their backs when at work on week days. On Sundays and festf Vals they wear Bits.

TOlLERS OF THE AIR.
How the Work on Q Suspension Bridge Is
 Done.

Done.
 The workmen on the cables follow closely after the builders of the iron roadway. These men are engaged in more perilous employment, if anything, than the former They climb nimbly up to the very summit of the huge tow CTS. and then without f1inching proceed to descend the inclined cables. It makes the spectators below tremble for them, so dangerous is the descent, but the workmen have no fear, else they would be unfitted for the duty required of them. After sliding down the cable dozen feet, they stop and turn around and face the towers. The men working the derrick slowly swing out to them the end of @ cable about three inches in diameter. Another man carries out to them by means of a small hand pulley and rope redhot band of steel, which the cable workers seize with their pinchers and clasp around the large cable on which they are resting. Then while the steel is still hot and malleable, the small cable, with it's end secured in a thick bolt of steel, is brought into posi- tion, and the end welded into the red hot steel band encircling the main ca ble. The workmen pound and forge away, hammering, twisting and bend ing the metal before it cools of. The welding must be done rapidly, and the workmen have no time to stop and think of the dangerous position in which they are placed. Probably the only support they have comes from their legs, which they wind tightly around the cable, as they swing their arms and upper part of the body with violent exertion.
 When this cable is forged into its place, the workmen take few moments of rest, and then slide down to the next joint, where the same operation is re- peated. Cable after cable is attached in this way until there is regular tangle of steel work and dangling cables, look ing for all the world like spiders web. But there is order in this colossal spider web such as never existed in the home of the insect that weaves the webs in our homes and woods. Gradually one part of the bridge after another is fin lSuou, duU when the 1a1S6 WOrk or scaffolds is removed the structure stands out in all the beauty of it's finished state
 The bridge builders must not only be skilled in their work, but they must have the hardihood and daring of the sailor, for most of their work is per- formed at an altitude higher than the topmast of any sailing vessel. They la bor in all kinds of weather-when the sun is pouring down it's torrid rays in midsummer or when the mercury regis ters zero in winter
 To them their dizzy height is no more than the 15 or 20 feet are to the ordi- nary carpenter or house painter They seldom use ladders. They would be con- stantly in the way. If they want to reach higher framework, they climb nimbly up the steel works or jump lightly across from one truss to another. A jump of three feet from girder to girder is commonplace occurrence to them. E. Walsh in Godey's Magazine
