Some member. of the family replied:
Father, you have not been quite so
well. and so We came in to see you
A little later he said to his boys:

man, not ambitious to lay up wealth,
but to leave you work to do"
In substance Mr.. Moody urged his
two boys and his son-in-law, Mr.. Fit,
to see that the schools in East North

their best care. This they assured Mr..
Moody they would do
During the forenoon Mrs. A. P. Fit,

more work for me to do, I'll not die"
Just before IL o'clock the watchers
saw that the end was approaching, and
exactly at noon the great preacher
passed away.

LONDON BRIDGES.
An Estate which WAS Created Seven
Centuries Ago Main
tains Them.

The history of the Bridge House cs-
tates dates back to the twelfth century.
As is pointed out by Nr. j. L. Tut, Nj.
Inst, c. E., in his work descriptive of
the Tower bridge, contributions to-
ward the cost of the London bridge
were made about the year 1l76 by the
king and by generous citizens, and for
it's maintenance lands were be-
queathed, certain monks being charged
with the services in the chapel erected
over the tenth pier, and the revenues
applied to keeping the bridge in repair.
"The money thus collected formed the
nucleus of fund that exists at the
present day. The lands with which the
bridge was endowed have become of
greatly increased value, and are now
known as the Bridge House estates.'
To use the exact words employed in
some of the old city documents the
Bridge House estates consist of proper
ties granted "by kings of England and
charitable and well disposed persons
for the maintenance and support of
London bridge" and some of the grants
and conveyances held by the corpora
ton, which for hundreds of years have
administered the estates in trust. are
dated as far back as 1882 and 1888. So
successful have these lands been devel-
oped that in modern times they have
enabled the corporation to purchase
Southwark bridge after spending a
large sum in freeing it from the toll ex'
acted by the private company by which
it was constructed, to erect Blackfriars
bridge, and, finally. TO build the Tower
bridge at n cost of C 1,250, GOO. And al
this has been accomplished without
cost to the MISREPRESENTATION Tele'
graph.

that he was far out of the channel,
for the steamer was giving him q

nearly abreast, and then, summoning
all his strength, shouted for help.
Again and again he lifted his voice,
but all in vain. No one heard him, and
half fainting from exhaustion and
despair he sunk down into the boat.
The water washing over his feet
brought him TO his senses. 1t was ter

"Aye, aye. boy. Are you all right?"
"All right; but hurry, Job, for I'm
drifting out to sea-"
The boat had struck an eddy which
was rapidly hurrying it around the
point. Ray quickly saw the new dan
ger. What was to be done? He dared
not wait for assistance. for before job
could get to the foot of the ladder he
would be beyond reach. He looked
about him for help.
At the very foot Of the tower the re-
cedng tide had left bit of the jagged
reef exposed. If he could grasp that
he would be safe. But between him and
it were the floating cakes of ice. Could
he reach it?
Grasping the painter of the boat in
his left hand he stood upon the thwart
of the life boat and sprang boldly for

When Ray recovered his senses he was
lying in his own bed in the lighthouse
and wondering how he got there. His
mother was bending over him and smil-
