contracted twelve years ago was neg.

What the Fingers Tell.

Pointed fingers are said to indicate
a love Of luxury, combined in many
cases with a tendency to idleness. Here
may be seen the influence Of heredity.
Ancestors of the past in easy circum-
stances had no need to work. They
had hard places smoothed for them,
and servants did the laborious tasks.
So their skin remained fine and their
muscles unstretched and their finger
tips in fair shape. They ~bequeathed
the sign Of ease, rest, a%f1uence, to their
posterity. Tramps Of the genius
Weary Willie often have this sign of
pointed fingers. Money did not descend.
with the luxurious instinct. Workers
~bequeathed square, fat tips to posteri-
ty and with them stores Of energy.
Square fingers on a well proportional
hand show much ability to reason and
to plan and to carry out plans. The
owner Of the pointed fingers may rea-
son equally well, but Is likely to lack
executive ability.

Sock and Rus1xin.

The expression Sock and buskin,"
which literally means comedy and
tragedy, found its origin in the .'soc-
GUS" the Latin name of the low shoe
worn by the ancient comic actors, and
the buskin, a contraction of the French
word "brossequin,' remotely derived
from the Greek "bursa," a hide or high
soled shoe worn by the ancient TRACE
dams to increase their height. The
soccus reached to the ankle only,
whereas the buskin extended to the
knee.

sion he changed his mind and turned
to attend to the wants of his pet colt.
The next morning, as Andrews was
going to feed his stock, what does he
see but Towards hogs in his potato
patch. He said nothing, but kept ur
a terrible thinking as he drove tbs
hogs into the pen. He caught them
one at a time and cut their mouths
back until their lower jaws hung down
then started them through the fields
toward home. q
This created quite an exciting scene
in the Howard family. as they stood Oh
the back porch watching their three
best hogs coming marching to the per
with their mouths gaping wide.
Howard would look at the hogs, ther
at the boys, then swear a while! then
when he could swear no longer, be be
gan kicking the chairs about the porch
to vent his anger in that way. Wher
he could stand it no longer, he Started
for his neighbor Andrews domain
clapping his fists together, and using
such language that the injured brutes
themselves would have blushed to hear
it could they have comprehended its
meaning. To use the expression OF one
of the boys, he got over ground SO fast
that they could have played checkers
on his long coat tail as it fitted in the
] morning breeze.
He found Andrews tilted back on a
I chair at the rear of his house, quietly
smoking his pipe. He approached him
with vehement gestures of his fists
shaking them in his face in a very
threatening manner; then commenced:
"My hogs! my hogs! Neighbor, why
have you sem them home with their
mouths split from ear to ear?"
~ have done nothing to your hogs
to excite you So"
This cool answer evoked from How.
ard a few select phrases of a peculiarly
offensive meaning, and he savagcly
asked:
what has done it, them"
81 don't know, neighbor," replied
Andrews, in his slow, dry way. "but
suppose they tore their mouths laugh
ing at my colt running a race with the
tin cans yesterday evening"
This was too much for Howard. He
dropped his head and started for home
revolving in his mind the best way o.
annihilating Andrews and all his stock
while Andrews went quietly on with
his smoking, saying to himself:
"Well, neighbor, l guess we are
about even, and l reckon. we had bet

guards was spent for something else
and 40 guards were built. In the
winter last past the bridge, which
had been rebuilt, was carried away a
second time, and then the freeholders
changed the plans of the central por-
tion from spiles to steel spans on stone
piers. Meanwhile arrangements
were made to complete the approaches
so that the north end of the bridge
could actually be reached. And now,
after three years of fooling with a
piece of work that ought to have-been
begun and perfected in a single sea
son, it is learned that the plans are
lost and the work cannot be prosecuted
until they are found. If this job has
MT been nursed to beat the records,
the outward appearances are remark
ably misleading.

THAT LINE FENCE.
BY REIN CLARK.

Two farmers in the southern part OF
the Buckeye state, who were both of
a very ~disagreeable nature, were con-
tinually quarreling about the line fence
separating the two farms.
AS they could not agree upon the
line, of course the fence was never re-
paired, which caused a very disagree
able commingling of stock.
One evening Mr.. Howard came into
the barnyard, where his boys were
busy unloading lumber, he said:
Boys, there comes that colt of An
drews' through the fields again. If he
doesn't keep his stock on his own farm
| will take to killing everything that
t~respasses."
Hold on, dad" said John, the elder
of the two young men. "Bill. you just
drive that colt here in the barnyard,
and I will show you how to send the
critter home on a grand gallopade."
Bill went after the offensive colt,
while John wendell his wan to the
woodshed, whence he presently
emerged with two old tin cans, a large
piece of white paper, and a short rope.
When father saw him coming, laugh
fng to himself, he knew there was mis-
chief brewing, but thought ne would let
the boys have their sport, as it was at
the expense of his ~neighbor Andrews.
After fastening both the tin cans and
the piece of paper to n end of the
rope, John gathered rope and all in
his arms, and while Bill was rubbing
the colts nose sanN patting his glossy
neck, John vas firmly attaching the
tail.
When everything was ready. John
gave the signal and Bill let the colt
loose. That animal darted off, becom-
ing more excited every moment, and
of all the running, jumping and kick
passed all previous efforts of the kind.
After describing several circles about
the barnyard, causing a noise almost
equal to that of a belling at a coun'
try wedding. rousing all the chickens
and geese about the place, soaring the
horses which Howard was vainly en-
deavoring to hold, while lney were
dragging him about the barnyard until
he wished both the boys were IN
Guinea, with the colt at their heels, II
started through the fields for home
while the boys were both yelling at the
top of their voices, and waving theiI
hats at the colts hasty retreat. all 1in'
mindful of the commands of theil
their father to come and help hold the
horses, that by this time were almost
frantic with fright.
Andrews, attracted by the yelling o.
the boys and the racket his colt wa:
making, made his appearance at the
orchard fence just in time to sec thu
enviable speed his colt was making
and to see him jump the fence below
the barn, while the tin cans stuck fas
in the fence, retaining a goodly portion
of the colts rear extremity.
This so enraged him that he starte'
at once for the yelping boys; but sud
denly recovering his usual ~self-nosses

Thatscommunication to the Board
Aldermen protesting against any
l6re frame buildings being erected
d State street, between Smith and
Washington streets, recalls the efforts
/ the Chamber-of Commerce to have
he fire limits extended and have a
! building inspector appointed. 1t is
Inn old story about which there has
been much agitation.
That the time has arrived when
these things should be accomplished
here Is no doubt. Some fine build
,ngs are now being erected or being
Blamed for Perth Amboy . and they
,hUuiknot be endangered by struc-
lures which are put up because they
are cheap without regard to appear
ances OF safety. The business section
of this city should be made second to
none. Other cities have ample fire
limits and building codes which as
sure a class of building which are
not only fitted to their surroundings,
but are q credit to the place in which
they are located,
49,
AS for a building inspector, the
heed OF one is manifested on every
lside. All through our residential
sections, as. well as business district,
houses are erected without regard for
anyone except the personal desires OF
the builder. 1t would seem that a
mar should have a right to do as he
pleases with his W property, but in
d municipality others are to be consi'
dered. 1t is a shame the way some
pretty residential streets are spoiled
by the i~rregularity of the property
line. The city needs some regulation
and building rule. There is not +;
place in New Jersey where there is
more building going on for its size,
and therefore the building code is al
the more essential. 1t should not b'
necessary to agitate this question
The necessity of it should appeal t,
the aldermen and an ordinance shoul'
be passed without delay.

four miles. There are five spans and six
piers with six massive concrete arches
on each side of the river. Eleven of
these arches are 65 feet long, and OF
them is 100 feet wide. From end to end
Of the concrete work the distance is
900 feet.
The piers are founded on pneumatic
eaissons, one of which was sunk 81 feet
below the surface Of the water. They are
all resting on solid gray limestone. The
distance from the bottom of one of the
caissons to the top of the masonry of
the pier is 143 feet. The bridge has no
draw, being sufficiently high above high
water mark to pass anS steamer without
obstruction.
In the five spans of the steel super
structure there are $4,000 tons of steel.
The last span, which has just been fin
lshed, was put together without the use
of false work, being of the cantilever
style Of structure. The bridge has a
double track, and Engineer Angler says
that hoth tracks from one end of the
bridge TO the other may be crowded
with the heaviest locomotives without
taxing the capacity of the, bridge.
Some Of the distinguishing features of
the bridges construction were that the
caissons we're built on barges and
launched from the barges into the
stream 1t has been customary to build
them on ways and from such a position
launch into the water. Another distin-
gushing feature was that the steel was
taken ny from barges on the river. Two
barges, one holding ten loaded cars AND
the other ~, were floated under the
builders. che huge sections being lifted
from the cars by powerful cranes on tor
of the works.
1t was the construction of the stee
work that occasioned a large number O
fatalities during the continuance Of tn,
work. The wind blew a traveller off tn,
track of the eastern span and killer
three men at one time. Others wer
knocked off the works from time to tim
until the dead numbered 16. Strang

way has been built at a grade OF b.

Another odd feature OF the the gre;
bridge is that the Chicago & Easter
Illinois road win run around a loop
