"THE SLEEPLESS ARCH" "
Old Efndoo Principle the Basis OF
All Modern Bridges.

Old Etndoo Principle the Basis OF
All Modern Bridges.
Although the building Of great arches
Of masonry dates beyond the ancient
Roman civilization, the principle that
gives strength to the massive stone
bridges of today is the same that built
the bridges Of the Roman empire.
The history Of bridge building Is, to
q large degree, the history Of the arch,
whose efficiency lies in the truth Of the
old Hindoo saying that "the arch never
sleeps" because each separate section
of which it consists, beginning at the
keystone, or central section, IS con-
stantly pushing against its immediate
neishbors until the pressure finally
reaches the firm foundation upon which
the structure is erected.
10 secure a perfectly trustworthy
foundation, therefore, the bridge build
er has often to penetrate far below the
surface of the earth, and not 1nfre-
quently the part Of his structure thus
covered up and concealed is greater
than that visible above ground.
It was their inability to solve the
problem Of a trustworthy foundation
that led the ancient Hindoos to dis
trust the arch, arguing that the sleep
less activity that held it together was
equally active in tearing it to pieces.
Not only is the modern bridge builder
skilled in setting his structure on a
firm base, but thoroughly acquainted
with the time honored materials for
bis work, to say nothing Of new ma
terials, and an important part Of his
student training in such modern schools
as the Massachusetts, Institute Of Tech
nology is devoted to methods Of test
ing materials during construction that
would have surprised and delighted
even the most accomplished Of the an
cient Roman engineers.

wbnf q Lie Did,

The madness Of suicide as relief
from mental anguish was vividly Illus
trated years ago by an incident which
occurred in an Italian town. Morett1,
q tailor, was sent to prison on a charge
Of fraud. His sweetheart called upon
the police officer to ask how long Mo
retti was likely to be confined and was
told that it would be probably for
many years. The policeman had been
instigated to say this by the girls
mother, who disliked the match. Over
whelmed with grief and thereby driven
to despair, the poor girl put an end to
her life by poison. A few days later
Moretti was released from custody,
the accusation against him having
been proved false. He returned home
to find his afianced bride a corpse.
Frenzied at the sight he, too, destroy
ed himself. The lie wrought double
tragedy.

HurryinG Up the Baby.

a correspondent sends Us an extract
from q poem which recently appeared
In South African paper, thinking we
shall approve Of its sentiments. We
do, we do. The inspired verse Is end'
tied Making q Man" and begins:
Hurry the baby as fast as you can.
Hurry him, worry him, make him man;
on with his baby clothes. get him II
pants,
Feed him on brain foods and make him
advance;
Hustle him, soon as he's able to walk.
Into a grammar school, cram him with
talk;
Fill his poor head full Of figures and
facts,
Keen on a-jamming them In TIL it cracks.

HEROIC REMEDIES.
Whipping Was Prescribed Mt One
Time For Insanity and Fits.

Whipping Was Prescribed Mt One
Time For Insanity and Fits.
III health is a bad thing at any time,
but $50 years ago it was made more
terrible by the remedies in use. Blood
letting, Of course, was simple affair.
A writer in Macmillan's Magazine says
that everybody was bled twice year
lin the spring and autumn. The bar
bers were the surgeons and, like wise
men, adapted their prices to their pa
tents.
A gentleman who so INDUCED him
self as to go to bed to be bled was
charged half q crown and his fine lady
half q sovereign. Certain days were
unlucky for bloodletting, and nothing
would induce the BARRIERS to operate
on these occasions. Serious diseases
seem to have been beyond the medical
skill Of the day. Villages and towns
simply drove out the infected from
their midst.
Among remedies herbs Of course
played a great part. "For salves," runs
an old notebook which had great
vogue, "the country parsons wife
seeks not the city and prefers her gar
den and fields before all outlandish
gums" Sage was held very great
medicine. 1t was even asked in Latin,
"Why should any one die who has sage
in his garden?" If any one had dis
ease of the mouth, the Eighth Psalm
should be read for three days, seven
times on each day. AS q remedy 1t
was sovereign"
For insanity or fits whipping was
prescribed. Little wonder that NOR
tality was great. In old days in Wes-
sex, England, persons with infectious
diseases were confined in the lookup,
and whipping was deemed too good for
them. Should the sick be loud in Ia
ment, the watchman kept them quiet by
this popular discipline, and one town
has upon its records, "Paid 7. HaW-
kins for whipping two people that had
the smallpox eightpence."
Fortunately the spirit Of this age Is
different from that.

A Lesson In the Use Of Simple Terms
In Letter Writing.

In Letter Writing.
a few months ago the son Of rail-
way director was through his fathers
influence given a position Of soloe i'm.
portance on a large railway. lie was
fresh from Cambridge, and in the or
ders which he from time to time issued
to the men under him always made use
Of the longest, most unusual words.
This habit led to some rather expen-
sive blunders, and, the matter coming
before the general manager, he wrote
the young official the following letter:
"In promulgating your esoteric cogl-
tations and in articulating your super
fetal sentimentalities and amicable phil,
osophical or psychological observations
beware Of platitudinous, ponderosity.
Let your conversational communication
possess a clarified conciseness, a COM
pacted comprchensibleness, coales-
cent consistency and q concatenated
cogency. Eschew all conglomeration Of
fatulent garrulity, jejune babblement
and asinine affectation. Let your ex-
temporaneous descantings and unpre-
meditated expatiation have 1ntelligibil-
1ty and veracious vivacity, without rho
domontade or thrasonical bombast.
Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic pro.
fundity, ventriloquial verbosity and
vaniloquent rapidity. Shun double en-
tendre, prurient jocosity and pestifer-
GUS profanity, obscurant or apparent.
In other words, talk plainly, briefly,
naturally, sensibly, purely and truth
fully. Don't put on airs; say what you
mean; mean what you say, and don't
use big words"
The young official took the gentle
hint and changed his style.-London
