Moved a Heavy Bridge.

On December Is the engineers of
the Chicago and Northwestern rail-
way accomplished the wonderful
engineering task of moving its 22O
ton bridge crossing the Kinnickin-
MIC river at Milwaukee, on its Chi
cago division, down stream $50 feet.
This is feat that has been under.
taken but very few times in the
history of engineering.
The bridge was a single track
draw, and was renewed to new
foundation in the quick time of two
hours and forty-seven minutes.
The structure was foated on two
scows, one on either side of the
center, which we're sunk with 90
900 gallons of water. With the
scows in proper positloa, the water
was pumped out and the bridge
gradually lifted from its foundation
and towed to its new resting place
by two tugs.
The bridge was in perfect condi-
tion and was removed emily to make
way for double track structure Of
the latest pattern.

PROBABLE PUBLICITY.

With the opening of the new
year the ambitious merchant should
lay his plans for 4 systematic ad-
vertising campaign. He should
determine at the outset how much
money he can afford to spend for
advertising and rigidly limit his ex-
peditures to this appropriation.
The amount determined upon
should be based upon a per cent Of
the gross monthly sales. Some
aggressive firms spend as high as
five per cent, though it is doubtful
1t this amount can be proftably
spent in a local way. One per cent
or even one-half of one per cent
will usually furnish a reasonable
amount. Having determined the
amount the next step is to deter
mine the manner of spending it.
And Just here let us say that bet
ter results can be obtained from
your local paper than any other
way, while you, yourself, being a
business man. do not read the ad-
vertisement in your local paper
yet your customers who are not in
business do read them. ASK almost
any woman if she reads the adYer-
tisements and she will tell you that
she reads her local paper from the
first column to the last.-Ex.

KAIsER's OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Some Instances Of His Good Humor
Toward His Subjects.

At dinner given in honor of the
Emperor's birthday Landrath Won
Kotze, cousin of the Master of Cere-
monies of the same name, gave a num-
Der of instances of the Emperors
great personal amiability 1t will be
remembered that a short time ago his
majesty revived the old Hanoverfan
regiments by matchmaking them with
Prussian ones. He at the same time
made his Master Of the Horse, Count
Won Wedel formerly a Lieutenant in
the Hanoverian Guards, Major of the
present Kings Uhlans. who are hence
forth to be regarded as the continue
ton Of the old Hanoverian Guards.
This advancement was made to Count
Won Wedel in the following way: Sit
ting in his compartment in the imperial
special train, on his way to Hanover,
the Count noticed the uniform of the
Kings Uhlans hanging above his seat.
He asked what it meant but nobody
knew Finally it was suggested that
he should ask the Emperor. He did
SO, and his majesty 1aughingly replied:
Put it on, and come and report your
self" The Emperor had had a Majors
uniform made secretly for him.
Herr Won Kotze added that at court
balls the Emperor liked very much to
watch the dancing, and it had often
happened that he summoned young Of
ficers who danced badly to his presence.
and told them that they were to learn
to dance properly before again accept
ing invitations. He does the same with
young women.
Another story is very amusing Once
in, he tho E711nQrnr at =
tends the shooting parties of Landrath
Dietze at Barby. Among the guests
there used to be al lawyer from Leipzig,
very witty man, who also took part
in the games of ''skat'' which finished
up the evenings. AS known, the EN-
peror plays cards only for very low
stakes, yet the lawyer, who had very
bad luck. lost 20 marks. Laughingiy
he exclaimed, 81 have got into regu-
lar robbers den." Everybody roared
with laughter, the Emperor as heartily
as the rest. When his majesty was
staying the following year at Barby
again and noticed the lawyer, he went
I'D to him, handed him 20-mark piece
set in diamonds, in the form of a scarf
pin. and said: Restored by the rob-
bers."
Herr Won Kotze told also in what a
gracious way the Emperor made good
the injustice done his cousin, the Mas
ter of the Ceremonies. When the latter
was recently received in audience, he
was asked to take seat at the writing
table opposite the Emperor. Usually
those who are received at audiences by
his majesty have to stand. Thus sit
ting, the Emperor and Herr Won Kotze
talked over the matter. Finally the
Emperor said: you see, had We at
that time been sitting like this oppo-
site to one another, all that would not
have happned.' correspondence
of the London News.

be grieved if anything that had writ
ten We're misinterpreted as deprecia-
tion of their noble and oft self-sacri
ficing efforts-efforts in the furtherance
of which they have frequently shown
their readiness to shed their blood and
to offer up their lives. 1 do not ques-
ton their earnestness, but, like many
other laymen, Catholic or Protestant,
who have lived in the Orient am
tempted to question the policy of their
work, and whether the results are
either satisfactory or commensurate
with the cost.
OBSTACLES TO CHRISTIANIZA-
TON.
This is due in part to the fact that
Western forms of Christianity, with the
Occidental civilization which they in
volve, are not altogether suited to ORR
entail or African races. That there are
obstacles, such as, for instance, the
question of polygamy, have just
shown. But it may be asked whether
it is not due in a certain measure to
the class of men who are engaged in
missionary enterprise. True, they are
earnest, and both their piety and their
absolute devotion to their work COM
mand respect. Moreover, where they
possess medical skill the good from a
purely humanitarian point of view
which they achieve is beyond all praise.
But while they may appeal to the lowly
and to the poorer classes, it is doubt
full whether they possess the intel
lectual caliber to combat those who in
fhpca Oriental r,-io
are the leaders Of thought and of doc
trine, and to whom the people at large
look for spiritual guidance 1t may be
doubted whether one in thousand Of
the missionaries who are sent to China.
to India, to Japan, to Siam or Morocco
is acquainted with the various intri-
cate points of the native faith from
which they are expected to recruit their
converts.
The only missionary that I have ever
known to achieve any success of a
phenomenal nature in the Orient was a
certain Russian of the name of Nicho-
las, who immured himself for no less
than fifteen years in one of the princi-
pal Buddhist monasteries in China for
the purpose of obtaining a profound
knowledge of the creed which he was to
combat, and to be thus enabled to meet
upon a footing of doctrinaa and intel
lectual equality the leading divines of
one of the three principal churches of
the Orient. Some of the Jesuit mis-
sionAries, too, in China have qualified
themselves for their work before enter
ing upon their duties by extensive stud
les of the Eastern creeds. But as a
general rule the missionaries who are
sent out to the Orient not only are ig-
norant of the religion of the people
whom they are expected to convert, but
cannot even be considered as masters
of the faith which they are sent to
propagate. = Ex-Attache in New York
