A GREAT ENTERPRISE.

The greatest arch bridge in the
world is being built by a Philadelphia
firm over the Niagara river, just be-
low the falls and on the site Of the
lower suspension bridge. The main
arch Of the bridge will be S68 feet long
and will have a rise Of $50 feet. 1t
will be approached on each side by a
smaller arch. one 100, the other 21O
feet long. The great arch win be built
Of 100000 pounds Of steel and will rest
on four abutments, two on each side
Of the river. Eight great bolts are an
chored into the solid rock and con-
crete of the abutments, thus securing
a strong foundation for the great
arch. Traffic over the suspension
bridge, which the new bridge is intend
ed to replace, continues uninterrupted.
The arch bridge will be the fourth
bridge to be erected on that site, and
when it is completed the suspension
bridge will be taken apart, moved
down the river, and will be rebuilt at
Lewiston, where a suspension bridge
was destroyed by hurricans in 1864.

Startled the Old Man

The acoustics of Statuary hall in the
capitol at Washington are matter of
wonder to tourists, and many are the
tricks played upon them. An exchange
tells Of youth employed in one of the
departments who was visited by his
father recently and took the old gentle
man to Statuary hall. There is a block
about the center of the circular hall
where, If one stands and faces the
north, sound uttered from the door
way, 40 feet in the rear, seems to be
Immediately in front of this block The
youth managed to get his father on the
block and, attracting his attention to-
ward statue in front, slipped to the
rear and said: "What time have you?
My watch has stopped" The father
drew out his watch and was half
through giving him the time when he
looked around and saw that he was
standing alone and that the son was
nowhere to be seen. He was bewildered
and looked like the man from beneath
whose coat collar the magician has Just
extracted live goose. Presently the
son stepped forth from the pillar where
he had been in hiding, but it required
many explanations to restore the old
gentleman's serenity.

GARFIELD's STRUGGLES.

How He Burned the Midnight Oil When at
Williams College.
Garfield was said to be only one of a
very few who kept up their literary
studies while in Washington. He never
did SO well but it seemed he could east
ly do better. He always gave the i'm
preston that he had much more power
than he used. AS Trevelyan said of his
parliamentary hero, Garfield succeeded
because all the world could not have
kept him in the background, and be-
cause, once in front, he played his part
with an intrepidity and commanding
ease that were but the outward symp-
toms OF the immense reserve Of energy
on which it was in his power to draw.
"When / was a freshman in Will
liams college," said Garfield, 81 looked
out one night and saw in the window
of my only competitor for first place in
mathematics light twinkling a few
minutes longer than was wont to keep

THE POET AND THE CHILDREN.

With glory of winter sunshine
Over his locks of gray,
In the old historic mansion
He sat on his last birthday.
With his books and his pleasant pictures
And his household and his kin,
While sound as Of myriads singing
From far and near stole in.
1t came from his own fair city,
From the prairie's boundless plain,
From the Golden Gate of sunset
And the cedarn woods of Maine.
And his heart grew warm within him,
And his moistening eyes grew dim,
For he knew that his country's children
We're singing the songs Of him.
The lays of his life's glad morning,
The psalms of his evening time,
Whose echoes shall float forever
On the winds of every cline
All their beautiful consultations,
Sent forth like birds Of cheer,
Came fiocking back to his windows
And sang in the poets ear.
Grateful, but solemn and tender,
The music rose and fell,
With joy akin to sadness
And greeting like farewell.
With sense of awe he listened
To the voices sweet and young.
The last of earth and the first of heaven
Seemed in the songs they sung.
And waiting little longer
For the wonderful change to come,
He heard the SUNNI oning angel
Who calls Gods children homel
And to him in holier welcome
Was the my stical meaning given
OF the words of the blessed Master,
"Of such is the kingdom of heaven"
John G. Whittier.

Far on in March, when the thermom-
eter had long been in the eighties, says
F. Whitmore in The Atlantic, the wind
whipped suddenly into the north and
the air cooled so degrees in a night.
We were in the field perspiring in
linens when the change came, with an
abrupt overcasting of the sky. A Whit
like the breath from glacier struck us,
the wind blew each moment keener, and
before we fairly saw how it was our
teeth were chattering. 1t seemed unbe-
hevable, but presently there was no
doubt that January norther was upon
us two months out Of season. When we
realized this, we set all hands at work
to earth over the half grown potato
vines. Only few hours of the day were
left, but the men worked desperately
with hoes and plows through the bleak
twilight, and much was done, but not
all. When we came out, shivering, in
the first daybreak, we saw that our
short harvest was to BIZ lamentably
shortened.
We perceived now at last how it was
with us. We were not farming, but
gambling with the elements. The eli
mate had been merely toying with us, a
trump card of spring frosts lying in its
sleeve

Old Alb Drake.

Old Alb Drake was one of the "odd

slipped out of this world Old Abs

he said to one of his neighbors "She

Naturally, therefore, when Raoul ar
rived promptly to the moment at the
appointed hour there remained only
the preliminaries to settle for the affair."
(which will take place, madame"
Raoul concluded, ION Friday next at
the midnight hour
"The hour of crimel'
For me the hour Of happiness. On
Friday, then, I say, at 11:S0 p. M,
stop under your window. The sound of
mandolin played by me will be the
signal. The dead latch will be up, and
you will be sleeping-like the dead,
madame. Georgette will descend; we
spring to the carriage; I'll have it in
waiting; gallop to the station, jump
aboard the rapide, and next day find
ourselves the leading article in the
morning papers. You, by noon, will be
interviewed by ali the reporters of the
city, visited and condoled with by all
your enemies, and a day or two later
will receive from US letter detailing
our happiness. Now, as l have still
many things to do before my departure,
bid you au reyoir.''
Without seeing Georgette?"
To see girl am going to abduct
would be improper, madame"
And Raoul, the case won, Withdrew.
On Friday, then, at midnight, the
abduction, as arranged, came off, Nine
Champonnet, even by a happy fore
thought and an eager desire to increase
the comfort of the affair, having dis
patched, secretly, of course, to Raoul's
address trunk containing Georgette's
handsomest and thinnest clothing. It
was always SO hot in Spain
Spain9 Picture, then, her consterna-
ton, her maternal despair, to receive
from-Norway, whole month, too,
after the abduction had taken place, the
following telegram:
did not go to Spain at all. Too hot.

have sent bearskin in the trunk. Not
married yet. The religion here is Prot
estant. Tomorrow we start for Asia;

CHEYENNE.

Have you been to Cheyennee
There's the loneliest place,
The drearest and searest
You'll find on the face
OF the earth, and hard by
Lieth Laramie town,
Once camp Of renown
As the home of Bill Nye.
Empty bottles and gravel
And cactus and cans,
Broken vows and old hoops
Scent the hot wind that fans
The parched plain. Going back
To the bottle and can,
was broke in Cheyenne.
Years after sat
In the managers car
As it slipped Ger the steel
Trail with never jar,
And out train orders ran

Had como over the placed
Oh, the women were fairi
There was one who had eyes
just the hue Of the skies,
And the low winds were soft,
And the things that were quaffed-
Well, we laid over there.

As the hours few by,
"On friend and his friends.

DANGER INDOORS ON A SHIP.
Steamship and Battleship Bulkheads Noe
Worth as Much as They Seem.

Steamship and Battleship BuIkheads Noe
Worth as Much as They Seem.
On all first class passenger steamships
and on all large warships great per-
oentage Of the total cost is spent direct
ly and indirectly on bulkheads or on
what these bulkheads necessitate. No
passenger would willingly make voy-
age in liner which was not known to
have cellular structure, and no gov
eminent would think Of building a bat
tleship or cruiser without bulkheads.
Yet it is fact we'll known, at least to
all seafaring men and shiphuilders, that
these bulkheads, strong and perfect in
themselves, are precisely as safe and
efficient as the doors in them and not
whit more so.
The doors as at present constructed
and operated are VIGOROUSLY bad and
dangerous. They have been the direct
and known cause in the loss Of many
lives and many good ships and are
doubtless ohargeable with many more
ships on the list Of missing and unac-
counted for" 1t is astonishing to the
expert to see the general public and
even seafaring men SO ready to accept
the prevailing superstition about the
safety Of bulkheads. The best possible
bulkheads without equally good doors,
operated on a safe system, are about as
good as a chain with link missing.
The history Of marine disaster has
taught us this if it has taught us any
thing, and yet we go ON crossing the
Atlantic in liners of much Wanted safe
ty and Dragging about invulnerable bat
tleships apparently with implicit con-
f1dence in this bulkhead fetch.
There should be as few doors as pos
sible, and some very able experts con-
tend that there should be none. On the
other hand, most captains and chief en-
gineers say they must have doors. Man
ifestly the only way out of the difficulty
is to get safe doors, safely operated.
The number of watertight doors and
matches on first class battleship is over
$50, and there are nearly 300 valves and
gates connected with yentilating, drain
ing and flooding the hull and involving
the safety of the ship. 1t will there
fore be seen that the systematic control
and operation of these devices is q mat
ter of no mean Importance.
1t takes about 10 men to look after
these details alone in response to a col
lision alarm under the present condi-
tions, and it is matter of very grave
doubt on the part of those best informed
as to whether the supreme efforts of
these ITO men can attend to doors,
matches and valves quickly enough to
save the ship. Casters Magazine.
