BLOCKED BY A FALLEN BRIDGE.
By the collapse of wall at the steel
bridge over the Washington County rail-
road at the foot of Ferry Point in Calais
at IL O'clock Tuesday the bridge was pre-
cipitated into the gully and the earth for
several rods on the southern approach also
slid into the space where the track lies
and traffic over the railway as well as
along the street was suspended. The
bridge was just about to be handed over
to the city by the ]. P. Mcdonald Con-
struction Company and will be severe
loss to the concern. Not only is this a
hindrance to traffic over the W. @. r. R..
into the depot but it compels traffic from
Calais to ST. Stephen and vice versa to
go around by Union bridge, an extra dis
tance of about two miles.

The Kings P1Ichard.

Once in awhile the rosy checked cook
in the white mob cap has an attack OF
erudition. 1t does not last long, but be-
fore it passes away her pupils can absorb
large quantities of pure and unauthorized
wisdom. She announced the other day
that one of the fayorite dishes of the cook
of ancient days was a pig boiled on ono
side and roasted on the other. Tt was i'm
possible to detect the place where the knife
had dissected the pig or to tell how The
chef had stuffed it with thrushes and hens
and minoe meat, the whole highly spiced
and favored with a rich sauce. These old
cooks were expert at counterfeiting the
taste of fish or meat. Tit king of Bithy-
MIA, when waging war on the Scythians
in the winter and hundreds of miles from
the sea, suddenly decided he would have 3
pilchard for dinner. Nothing else would
satisfy him, o pilchard he would have or
starve. The cook was summoned and
heard his plant. He went back to his
pots and pans. and at dinner the king had.
his pilohard, praised its flavor to bis
guests, and probably decorated thec 0
with the order Of the silver frying pan.
That worthy had cut a turnip in the form
of the fish, fried it in oil, sailed and pow
dered it with the grain Of black popplas
and sent it to the table garnished with
greens and iemons.-New York CONNER

A new style q elnofUldeTy which COM
mends itself to those in search of substan-
tia1 nee,ilework is done with leather on
leather.
Chair cushions, hammock cushions, bor-
ders for heavy table covers and portieres
are among the many articles for which it
is used. The groundwork is, as a rule,
of some dark, rich colored silk, and the
work is done with the lighter shades.
A border for a handsome pair Of por-
there's is of modern leather, on which Is
worked On upright row of hower-de-luce
in yellow leather, with stems and leaves Of
green. The effect is very smart and I'M
usual. A chair cushion which was made
to correspond with a library furnished IN
quartered oak and malachite is of green
leather, with the head of a huge tawny
lion worked in.
The work is not difficulty If ons can
believe those who nave made q study Of it,
and, most of all, requires practice.
The pattern is first sketched on the
leather foundation, then gone over with 3
keen bladed instrument made for the pur-
pose and outlined by tiny Sits and holes.
1t is into these incisions that the working
leather, which is cut into strips of various
widths, is drawn, thus forming the design
This working leather can be had in al
most as many shades as embroidery silk
and is remarkably pliable. The needles
used are coarse bodkins, with blunted
points and long, narrow eyes. Many
smaller articles intended as Christmas
presen is for men are being made, and the
work seems particularly well adapted to
such use.-Philadelphia Press.
