THE ENG CAME BACK.


One hot summer afternoon when other girls and
out playing and moding dishes of clay lost
my ring. went into the house crying loudly that
could have been heard about two blocks away The girls
called and asked what the matter, but would
not answer. At last heard and called up
stairs and told her all about it. She scolded and
sent out to look for it, but all in vain. Two days
afterward going to the store When reached the
doorstep, there something very bright about ten
steps from the door looked to what it could be
and to surprise the very ring that lost two

Harping on a Broken String.

The Richmond Times Dispatch
calls attention to the fact that the
national Democratic convention
which met in Baltimore in 1860
and nominated Stephen A. DOUG
lass, adopted platform which
contained the following plank;
"Resolved, That the Demo-
cratic party is in favor of the ac-
QUESTION of Cuba on such terms
as will be honorable TO ourselves
and just to Spain"
The Southern people have al
ways wanted Cuba, as they have
always wanted the Panama ca
nal. We seem now in a fair way
of getting both.-Baltimore Sun.
The above is written oblivious
of the passage Of years, and the
revolutionary changes wrought |
since that fateful Democratic |
convention, in 1880. Cuba, it is
true, is not less attractive for an
geographically. But the
disappearance Of a secure and
settled order, the transformation
Of the peaceable, prosperity pro-
ducing negro into the turbulent,
toting insurrecto, has
destroyed all Southern desire Of
What we seem now
N a fair way Of getting, is re-

The Science Of Engineering.

The joining of the tunnel tubes
Of the Pennsylvania Railroad un.
der the Hudson marks one of the
great engineering feats of the
century. To the lay mind the
skill that guides these great suba-
queous bores SO accurately that
they meet at all is wonderful
enough, but when the work of
the delivers bring the edges of the
shields together so perfectly that
not a fraction of an inch error is
to be found, the achievement is
nothing short of marvellous. The
last few years have seen such
advance in this particular DEPART
ment Of construction that the
world hears with far less skepti-
cism than of old Of ambitious
projects for the union of CONT
nents and countries. What can
be done with such accuracy and
speed beneath the silt and mud
Of a tidal river can be accom-
plished beneath the sea, and the
success of the New York opera
ions will stimulate efforts Of kim
ired character tie world over

San Francisco Rebuilding.

The rebuilding Of San Fran
cisco is attracting a great deal OF
unique attention, and some of the
figures reached by spectators
are simply stupendous, while the
comparisons drawn are decidedly
interesting. Witness, for instance,
the following taken from Barton
W. Currie's article in Sunset:
'Take only the brick that the
future San Francisco will absorb
-6,000,000,0 900 blocks of kiln
hardened clay! They alone would
build a row Of pyramids, ponder
GUS and sky piercing. Engineers
say that this total Of brick is a
conservative estimate, for San
Francisco must restore $4,000
buildings, larger, better and cost
lier structures than those the
flames Quilted and crumbled into
dust. Not only could you build
pyramids with this multitude of
bricks; they would build wall
five feet high around the world,
pave a roadway girdle for the
earth, and set up one upon an
other they would tower to the
bleak mountain ranges Of the /
moon, 100000 miles away.
Is this total of 100000, 900
bricks a vague guess? No. 1t
was obtained in this way by en-
gineers who think-in- grooves of
ngur6s and reach splendid APP
proximations with amazing accu-
racy: A four-s story brick build
ing, forty -four feet wide and 10
feet deep. was taken as / stand
ard Of $4,000 buildings of various
heights and areas; and $4,000 is
a fair average when it is consid-
cred that $4,000 structures we're
destroyed. This standard build
ing would consume 548, 900 bricks.
Simple multiplication, then, ac-
a total of 6,576, 000,-
300. Thinking in pyramids of
brick and world circling walls
gives the imagination lofty flights, !

John F. Wallace, who incurred
so much censure at Washington
when he resigned his appoint
ment Of chief engineer Of the
Panama canal, has been busy for
a year in making plans for the
new passenger station of the
Northwestern railroad in Chica-
go, which is to be built on the
west side, facing Madison street.
The station, with the ground on
which it will be built, will cost
100000 or more, and will
rank in size and capacity with
the South station in Boston and
with the new Union station in
Washington, D. O., which is to
be ready for use next June.

Of Coleman, Fla, and Mrs. White Of
Galetta, Ont. There is one brother and
One sister living in Montreal. Mrs.
kneeshaw had been in her usu Il health
until few days before her death and
her debease came as surprise to her
relatives and friends here She us we'll
known in this city, having made it her
home at intervals Tor number Of years.
She was highly respected by very large
circle of friends and greatly beloved by
her relatives and particularly by her
grandchildren. She was of cheerful
disposition, and retained her faculties to
the last in spite of her extreme old age.
Though she had lived considerably long
er than the allotted age of man. yet she
was always so pleasant and sprightly
that her friends hardly realized her age,
or thought of her as one who should die
SO soon. Very many friends will feel
sad to learn that Grandma" has gone
from this life and wi sympathize with
the bereaved relatives. But th- idness
in her case is mellowed by the know.
edge that she has gone to enjoy the re.
ward Of her we'll spent life.
