left OF the once numerous colony. The
weasel attacked the big rat several
times, but each time the rat proved
more than a match for his slender an

hiding place.
One day the weasel was seen busily
digging under a lumber pile near the
mill. He was engaged for some time.
but later appeared again in the mill,
seeking his old enemy. He soon found
him and at once renewed hostilities.
As usual. after a lively tussle, the rat
proved too much for him, and he ran,
pursued closely BY the rat, straight to
the hole under the lumber pile.
He ran in, still followed by the rat,
almost Immediately reappeared round
the end Of the pile and again lodged
into the hole behind the rat. Neither
was seen again for some time, but the
weasel finally reappeared, looking no
worse for the fight ..~

Is a process of ossification. After mid.
die life has passed a more marked de-
velopment of the ossific character
takes place. The arteries become thick

Of the functions Of the body is a mere
matter of time, and the refuse matter

call life. The blood contains COM
pounds Of lime, magnesia and iron. In
the blood itself are these earthly salts.
In early life they are thrown of; in
age they are not. Almost everything
we eat contains these elements for de-
stroying life. Earthly salts abound in
the cereals. and bread itself, mistaken

Across a canyon measuring S95 fest I
Inches from wall to wall nature has
thrown a splendid arch Of solid sand
stone sixty feet thick in the central
part and forty feet wide. leaving TN
Cer"eath it a clear opening 367 feet In
perpendicular height. The lateral walls
Il the arch rise perpendicularly nearly
to the TOP Of tie bridge, when they
fare suddenly outward, giving the ef-
fec. Of an immense coping or cornlce
,oyrrhanging the main structure fifteen
or twenty feet on each side and ex-
lar.lng with the greatest regularity

,Nrl!..se. The majestic proportions OF
this bridge may he partly realized by a
few. comparisons. Thus it's height Ia
more than twice and it's span more
than three times as great as those OF
the famous natural bridge Of Virginia.
Its b%uttresses are 11S feet farther
apart than those Of the celebrated ma
sonny arch III the District OF COLUMBIA
known as Cabin John bridge, II few
miles from Washington city, which
has the greatest span of any masonry
bridge OIL this continent. This bridge
would overspan the capitol at wash

tom Of the canyon its toplnost bough
would lack t%hirty-two feet of reaching

a swing there 1t took surprisingly long
time to pick a dish OF fruit. Both girls
had stipulated to 60 home to sleep, and
before long Molly's daily visits grew shorter
then intermittent, till rinaily they ceased
altogether. So the dual system failed,
and Dolly made way for an elderly ex-

disappearance OF the ale, the increasing
weakness Of the brandy and the mys-

The friends of S m,ial Mas Of the Tenth
Assembly district (who on Friday night
was declared nameless and unknown by
Big Tim Sullivan, Little Tim Sullivan and
the only genuine Henry Clay Sulzer) met
at es Second { venue last night to assert
their conviction that Mr.. Mas ought to be
elected Tammany leader Of the district
in place Of Julius Harburger. 1t was ex-
planned by Mr. Mas and his ieutenants
that the reason why the rooms of the in
surgents were not crowded was that Satur-
day night Is bad night in the Tenth dis
trict. 1t was very certain, they said, that
mere numbers could not be taken as indi-
eating the comparative esteem in which
MIR. Hamburger and Mr.. Maas were held
by their neighbors
Besides Mr.. Mas himself, the principal
speaker at the meeting was Arthur C. Man
del. Mr.. Mande's youth did not keep
him from discharging p mighty stream
Of vitriol at the whole Hamburger tribe.
He took up the report Of Big Tim Sullivan's
speech in support of Hamburger and said;
"Mr. Sullivan says that the reason he il
for Hamburger is that he wants strong
leader across tho line from his own district.
Why didn't re tell the real truth" Why
didn't he say that the reason he il for
Hamburger is that Hamburger lets him
divert all the Tenth district patronage to
the Sixth district, Little Tim says that
Hamburger is hampered by the civil service
restrictions in giving out jobs in the district
Why wouldn't. he be when all our share of
non-civil service jobs have been parceled
