VIADUCT TO BE TAKEN DOWN.
In Pennsylvania VIII Soon
he Destroyed.

II Is authoritatiyely stated that the
famous Kinzua viaduct, the gigantic
iron girder and trestle bridge in Nc
Kean county, Pennsylvania, south of
Bradford, is to he replaced at an early
date by new and wholly different
structure. Two views of this famous
bridge are given. Work on it was be-
gun on May 5, 1882, and it was COM
pleted and opened for traffic less than
four months later, on August 29, 1882
1t is 301 feet high at the highest
point, and until the completion of the
Garabit viaduct was the highest
bridge in the world. The Garabit
spans the Truyere in the south of
France, is 1,s49 feet long and at the
highest point the rail level is 4O1 feet
above the river. 1t was designed by
NJ. Eiffel, builder Of the famous tow
err, and was completed in 1884.
The Kinzua bridge is 1900 feet long.
It was built by the Keystone Com
pany of Phoenixville, Pa. It's compile
ton gave to the New York Lake Erie
& Western railroad direct communica-
ton with the coal fields of western
Pennsylvania. The Buffalo, Roches-
ter& Pittsburgh has traffic arrange
ment with the Erie for the use of the
bridge. The valley Of the Kinzua,
which this great trestlc spans, is Is
miles south Of Bradford and one OF
the widest regions yet left in western
Pennsylvania. Until recently, per-
haps even yet, bear were plentiful and
deer occasionally found in this val
ley.
The Kinzua viaduct has been point
of excursion and an object of Curl
osity for sightseers ever since it was
built. Gen. Grant was taken there on
ne occason.--Chicago Chronicle.

Ironing SbIrt-Wnlsts.

When ironing colored waist, either
of silk or of cotton fabric, one should
not use too hot an iron, and yet it must
be hot enough to iron smoothly, with
out blistering or sticking to the starch.
An overheated iron Injuries bright col
ors as much as do hot water and poor
soap. In ironing silk waist place
piece of cheesecloth over the garment,
and iron as any c'dinary article. BY
doing this the natural appearance Ct
the silk is preserved, and this would be
impossible if the iron were brought in
direct contact with it.-Fahnie Melr,

BEAUTIFUL FIGURES.
How a Woman May Acquire and Re
tain Symmetrical De-
velopment.

A beautiful figure is the most pre-.
cious gift, after perfect health, that
any woman can possess. 1t is of far
more value than pretty face. 1t lasts
much longer, and it does not betray
the years, us must eventually even the
most perfect features and the most
lovely skin. With perfect form,
smartly gowned and well set up,
woman cannot fail to look charming
There are three classes of women
from an artistic standpoint, who may
lay claim TO beauty of form. In the
first class belong all the daughters OF
Juno. They are great, tall, magnifi-
cent looking creatures, whom some
men describe MS full bodied" women.
In the second class are the daughters
of Venus. These women usually give
the impression of ideality. They are
always well-deVeloped, graceful and
generally good to look at. In the
third class are gathered the children
of Psyche. Under his class come the
women and maidens usually described
as having fragile, girlish looking fig
ures. OF the three classes, some adj
mire one and some another, but very
beautiful women are found in all three.
A woman who desires to make the
very most of herself should study her
own figure. She should find out its
good points, its better points, its bad
points and its very bad points.
She should then take it in hand, and
by means of exercise, diet, gymnastics,
good tailor and frst-class corset
. maker, set herself up to the best pos
sible advantage.
A woman can really do more with
her figure than she can with her face.
If inclined to be too stout she should
vigorously abstain from everything
that encourages embonpoint such as
late hours, over indulgence at table.
and leading in general u lazy, indolent
existence.
If she has not the courage to make
these sacrifices she must say good-by
to beauty of form. She will then join
the overaowing ranks of women who,
when they have passed the age Of 80,
make no further pretensions to beauty
of figure.
II, on the contrary, her trouble be
an unsightly leanness of body and
limb, which makes it impossible for
her ever to appear in either becoming
evening gown or smart tailor frock,
she should, with the aid Of both diet
and gymnasium, set about developing
her form to the utmost, 1t is her duty
to cover, with soft, firm curving flesh,
the harsh outline of her angles. Some
thin women think it useless to try TO
put on little flesh. They say, hope
lessly: sob, it's not my nature to be
fat" They appear -never to have
learned that it is of the very nature OF
human being TO possess healthy,
well-developed body.
When they lack this gift of nature,
their birthright, there is something
wrong somewhere. They should find
out what it is, and remedy tn. y.

BOW THE DOCTOR GOT THERE,
Not Always an Easy Trip for a
Maine Physician to Reach
His Patients.

The other day a country physician
received II call to go from his place
into lumber camp in the far Brassua
region, and it was such call as doc
tor cannot well refuse. So he went to
West Cove on Moosehead with a big
coat and wearing leggins and shoe
packs, as the low moccasins are called.
A lumberman was there and this
man had made arrangements to carry
the doctor up as far as West Outlet
on handcar on the Canadian Pacific
road. They had to stop once and un-
load the handcar on to their backs i'll
gully so that freight train could go
past.
Above West Outlet certain por-
ton of the lake surface was free OF
snow and the doctor and the woods
man guide strapped on their skates and
started. There were numerous "wrin-
kles," huge bullying riffs in the ice
where the moving of the nightly sur
face had met and made ruin. When
they came to one of these wrinkles
the woodsman went ahead and prodded
and polSed until he found place where
they could cross.
1t is possible that more men have
been drowned in the waters of Moose
head by carelessness in crossing wrin-
kles than by any other cause.
By the time they got to the mouth
- thn 1nptn ~. nh1imnH
to own to his sturdy companion that
he was fair tuckered. The man had
moose sled there in the bushes. He
had lie It it when he had come out after
the doctor. He piled the medicine man
on with his case, wrapped him in blan-
kets and set away along the tote road.
There was no team out, for there was
much uncertainty as to when the doc
tor would be able to get along.
When he could he walked. The rest
of the time he rode. The tough little
man of the woods seemed in no wise
wearied. He told the doctor that it
was easy enough to make those kind
of trips when one was toughened to it..
In the camp was one Of the bosses
who had been caught in n snub line
and who had had most OF the flesh on
the calf of his leg rasped off by the
cruel cable.
The doctor did what he could for the
sufferer. Before he finished his labors
there a messenger came from camp
ten miles above. They had learned that
ii physician was in the section and
they wanted him. Ten men were down
with grip and colds and two had pneu-
monia. So the doctor went up to that
camp. There was nothing else to do.
He says that if he had refused
he guesses they would have loaded
him on a sled willy.nilly and would
have taken him along. He came out
after six days in the woods.-Lewis-

COLLEGE TRAINING.
Does Not Always Increase q girls
Stock of Common
Sense.

1t has been remarked that modern
methods of education, whatever may
be their merits, do not markedly in
crease that most valuable of all en-
dowments, common sense. AS the de-
vclopment of that somewhat indefin-
able but absolutely necessary quality,
if one would lead the most useful life,
should he more aimed at than any
thing else, thoughtful mothers have
suggested that there must be serious
defects in our modern schools and col
leges. One of the directions in which
common sense is most likely to be
shown is in the care of the health.
Neither young men nor young women
appear to realize the value of health.
and our colleges do not seem to instill
into them the precepts which aid in Sc
curing this greatest Of earthly benefits.
Wealth, learning, beauty, wit all are
Of little comfort without health. while
with it almost anything may be borne
cheerfully. Not long ago a college girl
graduate sat reading book at a con-
siderable distance from the lamp which
was her sole dependence for light. Not
satisfied with sitting at least three
times as far from the lamp as she
ought, she had carefully interposed
her head between it and her took. One
of the foundation facts Of education is
that one should always get the best
possible light upon ones work, being
careful never to let the sun shine di-
rectly upon it, and that the light
should come over one Of the shoulders,
preferably the left. Under the most
favorable conditions the life of a stu
dent furnishes more than enough bust
ness for the oculist-Kate Epson

the progress of the last 30 years, the

being the supreme mystery at present

Curious Wanderingn of Smoke.

During the volcanic eruption in the
Hawaiian islands last summer the
smoke rose to a height Of between five
and six miles and then drifted away to
the northeast. At a distance of 600
miles from Hawaii it settled upon the
surface of the sea, and was then car
ried back by the northeast wind to its
place OF origin, where it arrived a fort
night after its original departure, and
covered the entire group of islands
with its heavy pall.-Youth's Compan-

in England. The people fairly went wild.
and on the vessel he was aboard, when the
news was signalled, every wine flask was
soon empty. The press is very conservative
about printing reports unfavorable to Eng
land, and very little of the adverse news
was read by the English people. Mr.. Nc
Clintock said that the officers of the vessel
ne was on while plying between Liverpool
and New York called the reports Of Boer
victories In American papers Yankee lies,
and did not believe them. but II they hap
pened to notice a bit of encouragement in
one corner of the paper that was picked
out and considered authentic news. He said
he had TO bear a great deal that was said
against the Americans In silence. as IL is
useless to argue with ar Englishman.
In regard to the attitude of the press, Mr..
McCiintock spoke of the race between the
Shamrock and Columb Everything was
for the and there were big odds
in betting on the British boat. When the
time for the race came one of the Liverpool
papers announced that it would post bulle-
tins. He said a canvass no larger than a
bed sheet was stretched against the build
given by American newspapers for prizes,
was brought out. With this. one report OF
the race, which said the Shamrock was In
the lead, was thrown on the canvas from
time to time during the evening, inter-
spersed with pictures of Gladstone and
other English celebrities. When The race
was finished a notice was thrown on the
canvas that the result would be published
in an extra edition of the paper that would
soon be on sale. This feature of enterprise
was very amusing to him when he thought
of the newspaper facilities at home and
the American methods or conveying news
to the public.
Mr.. McClintock left last night to con-
tinue his journey to the "Doric." at Yoke
hama, and will arrive there about April is.
