1t n perhaps not unnatural that the
growth Of fortunes should bring the
facts Of life early before the minds
Of children and that as 4 result there
should be a tendency toward material.
Ism In even a child's point OF view.
Not long ago heard two girls Of six
and seven talking on a country road
They were children whose parents
were amply able to give them what
ever they thought best for them 70
have. The first child said: How can
we make some money! / tell you
what. Mary, we must sell your radhahes
a. soon as they are ripe" Mary an
swered sadly: Il wish Aunt Susan
were here. She buys radlshes IKE the
dickens" Now. these children at this
early age were discontented with their
weekly allowance and. finding that
they could not get more from their par
ents, decided to sell to the nelghborA,
and their parents. wishing them to de-
velOp themselves and to learn By ex-
perienee, did not prevent their doing
so.-Louisa AeCrady In Atlantic.

A SINGULAR DUEL.
How the Death Penalty Was Admins

How the Death Penalty Was Admins
tered to Two Indians.
The following story illustrates very
well one of the characteristics Of the
Indian, as it shows that Indians, as a
rule, did not mind dying so much as
they were particular about the method.
It was a good many years ago at Pine
the Cheyennes. Major Cooper was
there as agent, and there were two
young Cheyennes who were badly
wanted for murder They had way
laid and killed a prospector. They
were not caught, and the chances were
that they would not be unless the sol
diers were called in. If this were done
1t was likely to precipitate trouble
with the whole tribe, and Major Coop
er laid the case before the headmen
They were told that II the soldiers
were sent for there would surely be
trouble and were requested politely to
ask the two erring bucks to come I'm

THE EIGHTH WONDER.
Hudson River Bridge to BE an Ex.
traordinary Structure.

Hudson River Bridge to Be an In.
traordinary Structure.
The magnitude Of the projected Hud-
son river bridge does not at first strike
the unthinking person. but when It
does strike 1t comes with a breathless,
aerial significance. 1t win be the
eighth wonder of the world, and the
eyes of foreign engineers are turned to
New York with expectancy.
The plans Of the new structure are
practically those Of the original North
river project 1t was a long step from
a LOO foot span Cthen and still the
longest in the world to over 1900 feet.
the distance to be covered between the
piers on either side Of the broad Hud-
son. To make a bridge almost double
the length Of the Brooklyn bridge
meant building the towers nearly twice
as high, and in order to allow for addi-
tional roadways and tracks the bridge
Of double length must be also twice as
wide. Thus the proposition involved
was really very much more than build
ing a bridge with double length span,
for three dimensions had to be con-
sidered. making the entire structure
nearly eight times as large as the
Brooklyn bridge.
At first other engineers were loath
to believe that modern materials made
possible so great bridge. But the en-
tire profession is now agreed that the
bridge is possible and practicable, and
their estimates Of construction cost
vary between S35.0OO,OO0 and $50,
600, depending upon the number Of
tracks and the carrying capacity desig-
mated. These figures do not include the
cost Of approaches or right OF way.
1t is an astonishing feat that Is con-
templated, this Of suspending between
steel towers distant more than half a
mile eight great railway tracks and
four driveways. says Charles II. Coch-
rane in the New Broadway Magazine.
As a triumph Of engineering the work
VIII have no equal. There VIII be four
stupendous towers at the piers, each
suggesting In appearance the celebrat-
ed Eimel tower. These four towers
win be about 800 feet from the foun-
dation stones to top. They will carry
the eight mammoth steel cables that
VIII curve gracefully across the noble
Hudson and support the two deck steel
truss bridge 40 feet wide. capable OF
transporting 10000 persons in one
hour without undue erOwdinK.

The STYLE in Clocks.

There are funny things about the
clock business" said the salesman
from Connecticut. "Nine-tenths of the
clocks that | sold on my last trip
were eight-day clocks. Everybody
seems to have serious objections now
adays to winding clocks. If could
provide customers with 30day clocks
or 6O-day clocks, without too much
additional cost, they would prefer
them. The demand for long-distance
timepieces represents decided
change in taste. A year or SO ago
everybody was clamoring for 24-houi
clocks, on the ground that they kept
better time. Now, II l could put on
the market some of those one-yeai
and five-year clocks that venturesome
manufacturers turn out now and then
as curiosities they would prove ready
sellers"

WITH WHOM DO YOU LIVE?

We have to learn to live with people,
even our own relations and, strange to
say the children of one household are
seldom of a like disposition; one may
be calm and gentle; the other arbitrary
and vindictive, or, as is frequently seen,
two persons may clash In conversation
over the most trivial questions, both
trying to come out victorious in the
conquest of words. Sometimes these
natures can be subdued in childhood,
for children of fiery tempers seldom
yield a point by being unwillingly
forced to submit. 1t takes kindness to
subdue many ugly tempers, and pa
rents would do well to coax before pun
fishing when heated argument causes
trouble in the home. Nine children
out of ten who have violent fits of tenn
per, also possess a deep, affectionate
nature. AS rule they are natural
born reasoners, their instinct mostly
correct, and 1t is difficult for them to
give in when they realize they are often

sisters drift away, often living apart,

One on the Class.
(The End.)

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
!, President Hadley Of Yale was talking
about his student days. IT remember a
stately and venerable professor" he said,
upon whom some sophomores once tried
to play trick.
''The professor one morning, being un-
able to attend to his class on account OF q
cold, wrote on the blackboard:
DR.. Dash, through indisposition, is tln-
able to attend to his classes today
''The students erased one letter in this
notice, making 1t read: a..
DR.. Dash, through indispcsition, is un-
able to attend to his lasses today
But IL happened a few minutes later
that the professor returned for a box he
had forgotten. Amid roar of laughter
he detected the change in his notice, and,
approaching the blackboard. calmly
erased one letter in his turn.
Now, the notice read:
DR.. Dash, through indisposition Is un-
able to attend to his asses today"
