duct will be constructed will be about
thirty-five feet. The distance across
the arm is nineteen miles, and eleven
miles of the distance is to be bridged,
In order to accomplish this feat the
track bed will be raised eighteen feet
above the level of the water instead
Of six feet as originally planned.
The temporary work now extends
into the Lake about five miles but it
is expected to finish the work by Sept.

W'7ist!er's Idea of the Trouble With
Modern Pictures.
James Abbott McNeill Whistler was
a man who lived to see the full devel-
opment of the myth about himself.
His name is linked with endless good
stories, many of them, of course
apocrypha1, but nearly all worth the
telling. Here is one of them:
When the artist was requested to
paint portrait of Carlyle for one
of the leading cities in Scotland, a
reputation df citizens called to confer
with him with regard to the work.
They first asked him how much he
wanted for it. "A thousand guineas."

YOUR modern pecturs fade, they fade.

the group for a moment, then he

In a recently published letter Sir
Henry Irving has a few words to say
abont the British soldiers connection
with the drama: ~"The first time re.
member soldiers being employed as
auxiliaries on the STAGE he writes,
was at Glasgow, in the year 1860.
The play was Boucicault's Jessie
Brown; or, the Relief of Lucknow.
This was almost the first time that,
through the courtesy of the colonel of
the regiment, soldiers were permitted
to appear on the stage. They marched
to and from the theater under a cor
porals charge, were a pattern of good
behavior and the payment Of shil
ling night was not thought to be an
unwelcome addition to their ordinary
pay. Since then have met Mr.. At
kins in many scenes of theatrical
blOOdshed- He was very strong at
Bosworth field. At Bosworth on one
occasion there was mishap which
sorely tried his discipline. Richmond
invited his followers to engage in
prayers Unluckily the knee joints of
the armor were unusued to genufiec
ton, and when the soldiers tried to
knee' they stuck halfway and could
not stand straight again. This de-
prived Richmond's invitation of it's
merited impressiveness. A close OBJ
server of our military 'supers' once
said to me: They have only one fault
they can never look surprised.' When
provincial actors are in a scene OF
great emotion it is a little disconcert

faces, which seem to say to the au
dience: Don't mind 'em; they often
take on like this, but we're used to

THE STOKER'S PERIL

Accidents Almost Unavoidable Con

"Deiicacies" Sent Them From the
Cabin.

Life among the stokers on board an
Atlantic liner is described by a con-
1ributor who put in voyage as an
amateur coal trimmer. AS a coal trim
mer, he says, I had to wheel my bar
row through "a narrow tunnel, fill it
with coal from the bunker, wheel it
back again, empty it at the stokers'
feet and keep on until the watch was
over, but this apparently simple oc-
cupation was not without it's perils.
The glass cylinders which show the
depth OF water in the boilers may
burst twice day, but save for an oc-
tasional scalding a man is not often
injured by this. Far more serious are
the consequences of his opening the
doors Of his furnace without first shut
ring off his forced draft. A careless
man-perhaps one who has boarded
the ship the worse for Hquor-may, on
starting his watch, forget to shut off
the three checks at the side of the fur
mace which regulate this detail On
opening the door binding draft will
ny into his face and probably scorch
him frightfully.
There is no limit to the number of
minor casualties AS I trimmed at nv
harrow the ship would give q sudden
lirch, and my spade would fly out of
my hand. If I wheeled it through the
tunnel without knocking my head
against the side I considered myself
fortunate. With the roll of the ship
tools would fly about in all directions.

try to buy big sprinkling cart which,

Novelty in Feathers,

Among the novelties in millinery
which are eyed with favor at our
coast summer resorts is the soft
plumage of the Japanese duck. One
does not know if this is only the
trade name of an arrangement de-
vised by cunning milliner, or wheth-
er it be the species. At any rate it is
stylish, whether used as soft breast
plumes or the sitter wing feathers
The general law in summer millinery
favors flat or horizontal effects, and
most of the feather trimmings. wheth.
er curling ostrich plumes, stiff wings
Or curved breast feathers mounted on

ton.
