Against Her Better Judgment.

"Ain't you rather young to be left in
charge Of a drug store?"

Bridge Has Longest Span.

There Is now under construction
across the st. Lawrence at Quebec a
cantilever bridge which when COM
pleted will contain the longest span Of
any bridge yet erected, not even ex-
Guiding the great cantilevers of the
Forth bridge in Scotland.
The structure is Of the cantilever
type, and consists of two approach
spans of 210 feet each. two shore arms,
each 500 feet in length, and a great
central span, 1900 feet in length. The
total length of the bridge is 1920 feet,
and although in extreme dimensions 1t
does not compare with the Firth of
Forth bridge, which is about one mile
in total length, it has the distinction of
having the longest span in the world
by ninety feet, the two cantilevers of
the Forth bridge being each Ito feet
in length.
The total width of the floor is eighty
feet, and provision is made for a dou-
ble-tracked railway, two roadways for
vehicles and two sidewalks In a eau
tilever of this magnitude the individual
members are necessarily Of huge pro-
portions, the main posts for instance,
being 325 feet in length, and each
weighing 750 tons.

One Of the largest works of mans

A novel excuse for stealing was CIV
en- in Bucharest the other day. A
woman was charged with the larceny
Of twelve cases of silver. Said the

is that have not been able to resist
the temptation. Consider, your Honor

Huge stone slabs suitable for side
walk construction are seldom encoun-
tered in France, and asphalt walks are
equally rare. The popular material Is
cement block, which Is cheap, durable
and satisfactory. These blocks are
made in a variety Of shapes and colors,
and in their more expensive forms are
much used in interior work.
Professor Shipley, in lecture at the
Working Mems College, st. Pancras,
dealt with the relation of flies to dis
ease. In tropical lands the MOSQUITO
and tsetse fly were responsible for ma
laria and yellow fever, while at home
he had no doubt the common house
fly, by dropping into milk and food,
caused much of the diarrhea suffered
by children in summer, and thereby in
creased the infantile mortality.
The English papers tell a story of
simple minded curate who was invited
to London to spend a week at a great
house. The curate, ignorant of society,
asked advice of a man of the world,
who told him how he should conduct
himself, and wound up with the
words: Il think, too, you had better
take a servant with you" Il WILL"
said the curate, and in due time the
poor fellow arrived at the residence
Of his host with some modest luggage
and a hOusemaid.
There has been almost a revolution
In Elliehausen, a little village near
Gottingen, Germany, over an order
forbidding any young, unmarried man
to escort a young woman on the streets
after dark. This order was the work
Of the deputy town clerk, who is not
ladies' man, and had been made the
butt for ill natured jokes. He thought
he saw an opportunity for revenge
when the reins of power came tenn
pOrarily into his hands. But his action
has cost him his place.
The London milkmen have a COW

the judge, and so prove that the poor

that there was one COW which was IA

hired for court purposes.

America imported $41S,O04 worth OF
ordinary needles, most Of them from
England, last year. Hairpins and safe
ty pins and other kinds Of pins are
manufactured in a similar manner
We made 1,189,104 gross of hairpins in
1890. Both needles and hairpins are
manufactured to greater extent in
Europe than plain pins. Safety pins,
however, are decidedly American, and
of these we make on an average 1,0o0,-
600 gross a year.

GrOtesque and Horrible Practices

Vance Thompson In Everybody's
makes the following remarkable reve-
lations:
THE dark forces which science rec
ognizes but does not define exercise
marvellous attraction on minds of a GER
tain order. In scores Of temples they
are wOrshiped under different names.
l know little temple in Bruges where
the followers of Lucifer gather, and
not far from the Pantheon In Paris
there Is an altar to Pandoemon. This
may seem grotesque; perhaps it is,
but 1t is formidable.
1T need hardly be said that the rites
wherewith Lucifer Is worshiped are
hid in much mystery. couple Of
years ago l visited one of the 'chapels; ;
it was in the Rue Rochechouart. The
black mass, which 1 have no desire to
describe, was celebrated. 1t was Fri
day at o'clock. Over the altar was a
winged figure of Lucifer, amid flames /;
he trampled under foot a crocodile
symbol of the church. A few days ago
1 found the chapel closed. Only after
patient research did l find the new
abode of the Satanists. Their chapel
now is in a great new apartment house
at No. % Rue du Ruisseau, within the
shadow of the Cathedral of the Sacred
Heart on Montmartre. AS of old, Sa-
tan Is worshiped; every Friday the
Luciferians gather. 1 could name many
of them-men not unknown in the
learned professions. Some of them
have influence enough to secure, now
and then, right of midnight entry
to the catacombs; there amid skulls
and bones, with orgies l do not care to
describe, they have worshiped the spir-
| 1t of evil-calling upon BaphOmet, upon
Lucifer and Beelzebub and Ashtoroth
and Moloch, with cries and wailing hys-
teria. This attempt to re-establish the
worship of the fallen archangel is,
think, the most remarkable manifesto
ton of modern occultism."

Spoke Apache.

when l was serving my time as
house on the surgical side at Dun
ming" said an active physician, ''the
county sent a man over to us to have a
badly cracked skull patched up. The pa
tents card was a blank except for the
one detail Of the injury. Just what ma
tionality the man might be none of us
could imagine. When we had lifted
the piece of bone that was pressing on
the brain he made an address ten min
utes long, and not one word could any
body comprehend. During his recovery
he must have been seen by 100 visitors
first and last, and no one could under
stand a word he said. One day we
had an army surgeon visiting us who
was going to show us an operation that
was his particular stunt. After the
operation we showed him through the
wards. AS soon as he came near our
convalescent mystery the patient began
his customary address. You can Inn
agine our surprise when the Colonel be

One fatal remembrance, one sorrow that

To which life nothing darker or brighter
can bring,
For which joy has no balm and afiiction

Oh this thought in the midst Of enjoy

Frank Gutierrez, road super

a new road, beginning one quarter
of a mile south of town to the
Blue Water Holes. The road is
on section lines except three quar-
ters of a mile in the northwest
quarter of section %, where per-
mission was secured from t h e
County Commissioners to make
this deviation, but with the UNDER
standing that it should be put on
section lines later if the commun-
ity demanded. Gutierrez is going
to lay out a road to Mora, begin
ming at the northwest corner OF
section ~. The road to the Blue
Water Holes runs west and the
one to Mora runs due south. 1t
is now desired that the Rock Island
build a crossing on the road lun-
ming west. This crossing should
be at southwest corner of section
"a, and then this road will be ready
for use.
