Americans are twenty years in ad- vance of other nations except Canada' in the art of bridge design and con- structiOn." writes d correspondent or
 the New England Engineering Maga-
 zine. '.The steel of which a bridge is
 made represents about half of it's cost.
 Steel is now made in the United States at much less cost than in any other country. In Britain, labor is so much
 Tempered by trades unionism that it is admitted by one of the leaders that the cost of labor in making steel in the
 United States is not one-half of what if is in Britain. This can be said also
 of the labor employed in manufactur- tug. The market for bridges is far
 greater in the United States than else where The States have now l9O,O0O
 miles of railways, and it has been es- timated that there is an average Of | one span of metallic bridge for every three miles of railway. This gives G, 900 bridges in existing lines. with out including those required for new
 lines. The increase in the United States of the weight of cars and en-
 zines has resulted in wonderful eco rrotnlc changes. The average rate of
 frejshts on American railways was in 1887 a little over $5 per ton. Now it averages 95 cents. Any one can figure the saving on 976,O0O00O tons of freight moved i'll 1900. These larger cars carry double the paying load of thf. old ones that they have superseded,
 and anore powerful engines draw more cars i'll q train. This increase of weight of rolling stock has led to the renewal of the 63, GOO old bridges by stronger and heavier cpes. This demand has brought into existence many bridge
 building companies, and they can well
 afford to equip themselves with the
 best labor saving and accurate work
 ing machinery. regardless of first cost.
 as they know 1t would seldom if ever
 lie idle European bridge builders are
 not in this positinon. Trains have not
 increased in weight as they have in
 America Thes old bridges answer fsieir purpose, and the demand has
 been chieiiy coAaned to new ones.

Not ForanhI.-

During n Of his expeditions in the
Philippines General Lawton came
across the trail Of a party of Filipinos,
which he followed FOR several days
with a small body of troops. One day
he and his staff reached the top Of a
small eminence and saw a river stretch
ing below them but a short distance
ahead. Turning to one Of his aids, tho
general said, Lieutenant, ride ahead
and see II that river is fordable."
The lieutenant put spurs to his horse
and soon entered the river. A few feet
from the shore the bottom shelved of
suddenly, and the horse was soon foun-
dering In deep water. The lieutenant
disengaged himself and swan to the
shore, which the horse also reached in
a short time. After a brief chase, to
the amusement Of the general and the
staff, the horse was recaptured, and,
mounting him, the lieutenant rode back.
His khaki uniform was soaked and
bedraggled, and the water spurted
from the tops Of his military boots ut
every jump of his horse. Riding up to
the general, he gravely saluted and
said, II have the honor to report, sir,
that the river Is not fordable."
Lawton looked at him q moment try
Ing to maintain the dignity Of his posi-.
ton, but the situation was too ludi-
crous for him. He burst into a hearty
laugh, in which the staff Joined at the
expense Of the young lieutenant, who,
however. tells the story on himself.

Ute0lt0g Court 014Ro&s%NSSsE@s5
Once when Justice W.ofsthesUn5&D6
States supreme court reached F1tfesE
burg IN circuit q Mr.. Wright sntsE
tanned him. There was d case penndingI
then in the supreme court which
volved the values Of two stocks. Tbs
decision was certain to make one M
the stocks valueless and the otherzvaEsl
liable. It was considered an even
chance which way the decision would
go. The lawyers In the case had ret
tied 1t in their minds that II Justice B.
were to write the decision It would be
In their favor. The Justice was noted
for writing long decisions. The ma-
jority Of the men on the bench Mt that
time wrote briefly. Justice w. was en-
t%ertained at dinner ut Mr.. Wright's
house.. After the dinner Justice W.. be-
came companionable and good natured.
In the midst of conversation about
the court and It's work Mr.. Wright
said to Justice w, mentioning the case
In which he was Interested. II suppose
that the decision In that case will be a
long one, there being SO many points
involved" "As long as the moral law,
my boy" said the old justice as he
smiled be~nevolently upon his host.
That was all that he said upon the sub
ject. MI. Wright, however, knew from
this remark that it was the particular
Justice who wrote long decisions who
was preparing the one in this case.
This gave him the cue for the decl-
sion, and he bought stock based upon
this judgment. 1t proved correct, and
he gained exactly 100000 from this
careless remark Of the too amiable JUS

Mrs. L. A. Simpson entertained two
afternoons this week, discharging her
social obligations in a, nos delightful
manner. Both afternoons were sultry

cut glass cheese or butter plate and was
won ty Mrs. DIS. Littlehales; the second
a cut glass silver mounted pungent bot
tie went to Mrs. billiard; and the third,
silver key ring, to Mrs. A. W. Freeman.

first save that games other than cards
were enjoyed. The prize for guessing
advertising pictures was a silver tea
strainer; the gift in the musical contest,
a silver andsgold olive spoon and the con-
ISOLATION gift a silver mounted emery.

everything was artistically planned and
carried out. Mrs. Simpson was assisted

Once upon time Young and Frisky

Farmer kept in order to procure Bees
wax for the children to chew on. OBJ

never will agree"

tered up for close Investigation. He
got an ear full in about half Minute,
and had not the Farmer and his son
turned out to his Aid he would have

when his Mother drew near and

You did"

and what would he do about it?
Suddenly there flashed upon his
mind the recollection Of the man who
had called the day before Coull it be
possible that the mistake h mentioned
was in favor of The Lan!., and of so
grave a nature? Yes; it must be so.
There was no other way TO account for
it. Selling his hat, out of doors he
rushed.
The evening of the same day Mr..
Johnson was seated in his pleasant
home, his wife on one side of him and
his youngest boy on his knee, when Mr..

My dear" turning to his wife, this is

Mr. Joslin turned very red. Drop

considerably placed for him, he wiped
the moisture from his forehead

knowledge that ! made a very serious
mistake yesterday morning when /

But expect to have it rec:ified,"
was the alarmed and excited response.
Unless you do, it will result in the
loss of my place and the ruin of my
prospects. 1t is no joke, but serious
matter"
IL am far from regarding it in the
light of a joke" said the farmer, coolly
Still ! see no reason why any differ

take happens to be in my favor"
Come, father interposed Mrs
Johnson, in low voice, WHY dc you
torment the young man so? You know
you put the money away for him. Do
go and get it"
Thus adjured, Mr.. Johnson took the
money from The family Bible, between
