Women Worse Than Files.

New York, May la dispatch to the
World from London says:
Frederick Treves, the famous sur
geon, who has just returned from the
war, was entertained, together with
Sir William MacCormack. at ball at

sided over by Lord Rosebery. Mr..

singing rebuse to the smart" women
suffering from khaki fever, who have
gone as alleged nurses to the front
He said:
80 far as tho sick are concerned,
there are only two plaques in South
Africa--the plague of flies and the
plague of women. The flies we get rid
Of by horsehair wisps, and other ap-
plianccs, and the flies at least depart

lutely and really n terror. They came

cockRELL'S LIFE SAVERS.

Eating apples for lunch has become a
fad in the senate, and Senator Francis
NJ. Cockrell of Missouri is responsible
for Its introduction. For some time it
has been the custom Of the Missourian
to steal away from the senate chamber
after the morning hour and go to the
democratic cloak room for a lunch.
Upon the senator's midday menu there
is just one article of diet and that is
apples. At 65 Senator CockrelI dis
plays capacity for work which is the
marvel Of the senate, and he at
tributes his splendid health largely to
his free use of apples and especially to
his daily lunch on apples exclusively.
Taking notice of the Missourian's good
color, steady nerve and notable en-
durance, other senators have adopted
the apple habit and find 1t beneficial.
Senator Cockrell is one of the veterans

AN IMMENSE SPAN.
The L.r...4 Areh.d Bridge. 1. IN.

The Lare=st Archsd Bridges In the
World.
The largest arched bridges on the
continent of Europe. which span the
Rhine, represent type of bridge,
which, although very popular on the
continent for large spans, has not
found much application in Great Rrit-
ain. although 1t originated in the cast
iron arch of the Coalbrookedale bridge
of 177s. over the Severn. which has
a span OF 102 feet. Up to 1898 the
Dom Luiz bridge over the Douro, with
its arched span of 565 feet, was the
largest bridge Of the kind in the
world. The Bonn mild steel bridge,
with Its one arch of 616 feet span, and
the Dusseldorf bridge, with two arches
OF 594 feet s inches span, now rank
first In Europe. But the Niagara and
Clifton bridge of 1898 surpasses them
all with its span Of $40 feet. The
Rhine, according to Engineering. has
but few bridges. considering Its great
length. At Bonn the river is 450 yards
wide, and although the town has 50,-
900 inhabitants. and Poppelsdorf, ad-
joining, $4,000 inhabitants, there is no
bridge. Railway lines run along both
banks; but up till recently there was
no bridge on the reach between Co.
blentz and Cologne, distance of SIS
miles, and the cross trafic depended
upon ferries, and further upon rail-
way traject, two miles above Bonn, con-
sistias of three ferryboats, each carry
ing 200 tons, worked by engines and
cables. Caesars much disputed wood
en- bridge is now supposed to have
been, not at Bonn, but considerably
higher up the river, near Weissen-
thurm, where important Roman forti-
fications have recently been discover
ed. The ferryboats and the pontoon
bridges of the seventeenth and eign-
teenth centuries, when Bonn was still
the residence of the sovereign arch
bishops of Cologne, suffered much dur
ing the recent wars. The French rev.
olutionary army of 1895 requisitioned
all the ships of the district and placed
bridge over them, over which the
army crossed the Rhine-to return a
few days later and to destroy their
work.

Very Latest In Files.

1t was thought that the limit had
been reached in flies when the wings
were put on with cement and a line of
silk, with reversed wings which could
not be pulled out. But now there Is a
fly book in which are separated legs,
wings and bodies. They are adjusta-
BILE to ordinary bait hooks from Nos.
to 12, according to the fish wanted.
Each part is tied to a bit of aluminium
tube. The bait hook is separate. The
fisherman observes that the trout are
rising to little fly of which he has
no specimen. The real fly has gray
wings, brown legs and white body.
He takes out the combination book
and puts white body on hook; then
he adds the legs and wings Of the right
color, and then he fishes.
