BRIDGE That Is Matched.

The bridge that separates Derby
Line, VT, from Rock Island, and con-
scquently the United States from
Canada, Is one of the most closely
watched thoroughfares in either coun-
try. Long since it was nicknamed
"Smugglers' bridge" on account of the
large amount of struggled goods TAX
en- across. 1t is an old-fashioned, low,
wooden structure. At the ends are
large signs saying PAY SO or walk. "
These signs attract attention because
literally they forbid riding under pen
atty Of fine, while in spirit they mean
that you must make your horses walk.
This law had been dead letter up to
short time ago, when Rock Island
renewed it and employed person to
watch the bridge and take the names
Of transgressors. The violato.'s Of the
law were then visited and tie fines
were collected. Near the south end
of the bridge is the United States
custom house, SUPPORT of tie New
port district, and a mile to tie north
is the old-fashioned Canadian historic
building.

Breathing and Digestion.


The stomach lies just below the
diaphragm, and portion of the me.
chanical work of the stomach, the
mingling Of the food and the digestive
fluids, is performed by the diaphragm,
which, as it moves up and down,
kneads the stomach and it's contents,
and so greatly aids digestion. In or
binary breathing in a quiet person the
movements of the chest are SO slight
as to be scarcely noticeable, and the
action of the diaphragm produces lit
tie effect; but by moderate exercise
these movements are greatly in
creased, more than doubled, and the
stomach is theoretically kneaded. In
this way, moderate exercise after eat.
ing is beneficial. The practice Of
breathing movements is also very
helpful for persons who have slow
digestion.
Exercise out of doors is especially
helpful. Fresh air, and especially
cold air, sharpens the appetite, and
creates a demand for food by burning
up the waste matters with which the
tissues are clogged, and preparing the
way for new material, which digestion
introduces into the blood.

HOW TOMMY ATKINS" is FED
Costs Cents Day to Cater to Appe
tite-His Bill of Fare.

An interesting experience in the
for the soldier is at present being
tried on an extensive scale at the
rife depot. Winchester, England, says
the New York Daily News. The old
method of drawing rations in patches
and taking them to the cook-shop has
plan adopted. The kitchen is run on
the principle of a restaurant, under
the charge of master cook-a non.
commissioned officer who has been
trained and obtained his certificate at
the army school of cookery.
A menu is drawn up each day, sub
ject to the approval of the quarter
master, and includes hot joints and
vegetables, cold meats and pickles
and most days various buildings and
sweets. The following is one of the
days menus: Roast beef, boiled
beef, boiled mutton, cold roast
beef, cold boiled beef, chops
and tomatoes, meat pies, brown
curry stew and rice, brown stew
brown or plain soup, potatoes, cab
bage, swedes, turnips, parsnips and
beans and peas; currant roll, date
pudding. boiled rice and currants
cheese and pickles.
The bill of fare is written on a
blackboard and exhibited at the en-
trance to the cookshop. Each man
fetches his own dinner and selects
what he pleases. The whole of the
catering is done on the 3k pence pei
day set aside from each mans pay
The quality of the food and cooking is
excellent.
