same purpose escaped. Before the close
of 1901 a station was erected at Cape
Cod, Mass, consisting essentially of
great circle Of poles which were to
sustain the vertical wires, but the scon-
struction was inadequate and the poles
soon blew down. At Poldhu there was
also a circle of poles originally, but
this too met with a mishap. The sta
tions at Polhu and Cape Cod were
therefore remodelled, and the one at
Glace Bay has been constructed on the
same line, SO that description of one
will fit all three.
AS shown in the illustration, the
structure consisted of four square
wooden towers, which stand about 215
feet high. Each one is cross braced
with steel wire rope, and all four are
connected with each other by diagonal
stays. Finally, to render the structure
still more rigid and wind-proof, stout
cables are run up over the tops of each
pair of towers on all sides, and secured
to anchorages in the earth.
From each Of the four horizontal
bridges which connect the tops of the
towers are suspended fifty copper ca
bles. The cables are composed Of seven

WAYS OF WOMEN.

NO Limit to Tyranny Some Will Stand
from MiI1iners.
There does not seem to be a limit
to the tyranny which some women
will stand from milliners, modistes,
beautifiers, and other autocrats of
that ilk. 1t is related of very
grande dame who had just returned
from abroad to her New York home
that she visited her milliner in a day
or two wearing creation in headgear
for which she had paid fabulous
sum in Paris. The milliner saw the
situation in moment, and, being a
qu1ek-witted person, resolved on in
slant action. Take off that hat and
never put 1T on again. she said i'm
periously to her visitor, woman
whose social power is almost without
limit. why do you say that?" she
asked, with a weakened attempt to
assert her dignity. Il met Mrs. Blank
this morning and she told me this hat
was very becoming" Quick to seize
point, the milliner answered calm
ly: "Just so. Mrs. Blank is no friend
of yours and would gladly see you
wear that hat" This was an idea that
had not occurred to madam, but it
took root at once, just as the milliner
was sure it would. The upshot was
that the hat was left to be made over,
madam taking q new one home. and
the milliner had still more firmly riv-
eted the chain which bound her
patron.
The professional beautifier is about
equally autocratic. For instance, a
noted complexion specialist who is
said to have made over" Mrs. Fred
erick Vanderbilt accompanied that
wealthy woman to Florida last winter
and kept her under repair" there for
six weeks. 1t is understood that Mrs.
Vanderbilt saw no necessity for such
close attention, but the beautifier
thought otherwise and charged $1O,-
900 for her services. Another special
list, by way of vacation last summer,
sauntered, through few watering
places and picked up $4,000 before re-
turning to her Studio" in New York.

Tc steam heat the cities aspire
As they shiver and shake in the cold;
But give me the old-fashioned fire
The round, rosy backlog of old!
The warmth and the light
Of its fame, leaping bright
The drowsy-heads huddled around it at
night!
In the darkness the winter wind signing
Made the fame take a ruddier glow;
The sparks up the broad chimney hy-

Like witch-eyes that cleaned in the
snow!
Oh, the warmth and the light
Of those red flames so bright,
And the comfort and joy of the wild
winter night!
Far better that friendly old fire
Than buildings of simmering steam,
With never a flame to admire,
And never a beautiful dream!
Oh, the love and the light
Where those flames danced so
bright,
And the old-fashioned joy of the old
fashioned night.

England Rars Yankee Cattle.

The prevalence of foot and mouth dis
ease in Massachusetts, and other New
England States has caused the Secretary
of Agriculture to prohibit the expectation
of cattle from Boston and to establish
a quarantine of cattle, sheep and swine in
New England. The British Board of
Agriculture has also taken action in the
matter and has closed the ports of the
United Kingdom against the importation
of animals from the six New England
States.
This Introduction will prove costly to
the cattle interests of New England I;
is estimated that suspension of traffit
for two or three weeks will cost tht

RESUME OF THE YEAR
Ieo2'S RECORD OF PROSPERITY
AND DISASTER.
There Have Been Volcanic Eruptions,
Wars, Confagrations and Exp1o-
sions-Large Death Lists-And Still
Times Have Been Good.

Though most of the civilized world has
enjoyed q continuance of the reign of mu-
tual prosperity which began in 1901, it
is undeniable that the year 1902 has
made woful record in the way of dis
aster and destruction of human life. The
eruption of Mount Pelee, Martinique,
May 8, may be given pre-eminence US
the most disastrous occurrence of several
decades, and it's destructive work was
supplemented by many costly confiagra-
tions, especially during the early months
of the year.. and a number of deadly ex-
plosions.
Many noted persons have passed into
the beyond since Jan. 1, 1902, among
them being Cecil Rhodes, Rev. Il. Dewitt
Talmage, Gen. Wade Hampton, Frank
r. Stockton, J. Sterling Morton, Sol
Smith Russell, Bret Harte, Rear Admiral
William 7. Sampson, Lord Pauncefote,
taen. Franz Sigel, Edward Eggleston,

The year has seen Edward VII. crown
ed King of England, after delay of sew
eral weeks beyond the date originally Gp-
pointed, on account of a necessary sur
gical operation upon the royal person;
has witnessed the ending of the Boer
war in South Africa, and the beginning
Of an international disagreement in
which Venezuela, South Africa, is the
storm center; during it's last month that
great engineering work, the Nile dam
at Assouan, has been opened; it has given
Cuba its first President under the new

the year during which occurred the ex-
tensive labor troubles in the Pennsylva-
mia anthracite regions, from the conse-
quences of which we are not yet relieved.
