Great Engineering Feat.

Two young men, twenty-three year,
OF age and house movers by trade,
have just accomplished an extraordi
nary feat OF engineering. They have
successfully moved 800, 000-pound
steel oil tank down steep hill to the
Allegheny river, transported 1t mile
down the river on barges and placed
it on a bank 200 feet high.
The monster tank WIS sunk sever
feet in the ground and had to be raised
before it could be moved forward AN
inch. The five tracks of the PennsyI
vania railroad had to be crossed and
the railroad company gave the mover,
only forty minutes time to get from
one side to the other.
This is said by the Scientific Amerl
can to have been one Of the greatest
tasks ever accomplished by any house
mover, The work was done by twenty
four men and two horses in six weeks.

the business was urgent. and l have

No excuse availed, and Mgr. Sarto
rose and went into the kitchen. Sc
the bishop of ducal Mantua and his
guest might have been seen there
talking and laughing. while monsignor
coaxed the charcoal with black
kitchen fan, the coffee fixed in tin
pot on the range, and the count got
out cups and saucers, in order to save
his distinguished host what mental
service he could. Then they had cot

Nothing more was said. and the

and again Jimmie Blaine put his
thumb to the tip of his nose, and go
forth.
Cumpie refined in the horse, took
the struggling Jimmie and gently but
firmly lifted him out OF the wagon.

HE TOLD THE TRUTH.
Reluctant Singer Very Properly De.
scribed His Voice.

Once a number of kindred spirits
were enjoying a supper in the land of
Burns. When the cloth was removed
and the usual toasts were proposed
some one suggested a song. The eff
forts of the first Scotchman met with
such a hearty reception that others
were induced to follow his example.
In the end 1t was found that every
one had contributed to the evenings
entertainment but the medical gentle
man Tho occupied the vice chair.
Come, come, Dr. Macdonald" said
the chairman, I'VE cannot let you es-
cape"
The doctor protested he could not
sing.
"As a matter of fact" he explained
my voice is altogether unmusical. and
resembles the sound caused by the act
Of rubbing brick along the panels Of
a door"
The company attributed this to the
doctors modesty. Good singers, he
pressing.
Very we'll" said the doctor, IF
you can stand II, | will sing"
Long before he had finished his au.
dience was uneasy. The unwilling
singer had faithfully described his
voice.
There was a painful silence as the
doctor sat down, broken at length by
the voice of Draw Scot at the end OF
the table.
Mon" he exclaimed. your singin's
no up to much but your veracity's just
awful! Ye're RIGHT aboot that brick"

The boy, who was visiting his indul-

one of the forts a Chinese woman sud

was hurriedly ordered to the rear ano

The bugle rang out for the advance
of a storming party on the fort. The
captain tried to hand his tiny captive
over to Chinese prisoner. but the
youngster yelled as II he would 20
into commissions. He did not want TO
leave his friend the enemy.
The buglo rang out again, and. with
the baby on one arm and his sworn in
the other, the captain led the charge
and captured the fort. The baby
nestled to his breast. untroubled by
the roar of battle, and passed safely
through the fight. After II was all
over home was found for him in a
Chinese village.

A JAPANESE ROYAL WEDDING.
Cortege Must Have Presented an I'm.
posing Appearance.

THE royal wedding of the Crown
Prince Of Japan, some four years ago,
was celebrated with national rejoic-
ings," writes Florence Eldridge in her
article on Yoshihito, Crown Prince of
Japan, in the March Parsons. The
city of Toxic was transformed into a
vcritablG fair ground with arches OF
flowers, festivals, numerous process
sions and congratulatory emblems. A
new postage stamp was issued to
commemorate the happy day. Thou
san6s of people thronged the streets
and gathered to see the imperial pro-
cession pass, standing respectfully
with heads revcrcntly bowed when
the cortege appeared.
The costumes worn by the impe.
rial bride and bridegroom during the
ceremony were fashioned after the
court dresses Of centuries ago. The
dress of the Crown Prince was a ilow-
ing robe of satin seven feet in length,
that trailed on the ground behind him
as he walked, silicn brooches, an
outer coat of crepe, embroidered on
sleeves, back and breast with his
crest, With this he wore a cap OF
black, vanished material, bound by
hllet of gold with long streamer
of stiff wire ribpon hanging from the
back; this cap was kept in place by
n light-colored silk cord which, pass
ing once over the top Of the head, was
brought down and tied under the chin
