THE JOKE WAS ON HER.
Comparison Made by Woman Lawyer
 Left Opening Tor Opponent.

A woman member of the bar in New York gives the following core spondence with the reservation that no names shall be quoted: T am one of the few women," she says, who can see joke even if aimed at myself. do not feel that in this case came off first best" The letter was, from man lawyer and was as follows: Dear Miss Blank: We agree, to the compromise as promised in your favor of this date. Not be- cause your client has just right to such settlement, but from the fact that we do not care to open a contest with woman lawyer" To which the reply was sent: Gentlemen: I note yours agreeing to a settlement, although I cannot congratulate you on your gallantry in begging the ques- tion. Like the original Adam, you seem inclined to hide behind . wom- ans petticoat." And the following letter closed the correspondence: Dear Miss Blank: If you will turn to the early pages of Genesis you will discover that Eve did not wear . petticoat"

DIET THAT VARIES LITTLE.
German Workmen Take Many
 "snscks" During the Day.

I was told at s:30 1t was time for luncheon, writes an American tim smith working in Leipzig. On stat ing that did not care to eat, he told me that 1t would be better if did no work. so I sat down for half an hour and watched the others. At noon we had an hour and half, and at four o'clock 15 minutes for lunch. It may be of interest to some read. CTS to know what the German eats. For his first breakfast he generally has a milk roll and . cup of coffee. The second break fast is almost always a slice of bread with lard or goose oil. a piece of saul sage or cheese and bottle of beer. For dinner he has two slices of bread as above, with herring or large green pickle. cheese or sausage and another bottle of beer. For lunch an. other bottle of beer and a milk roll. For supper soup and potatoes. This is the general variety of foods we had for the four months l worked in that shop, and they had 1t day in and day out

Value of Science.

Science for sciences sake, science as a cult, pleads Prof. Raphael Mel. doia. president of the Chemical So- ciety of Great Britain. Scientific re- search is worthy of national homage whether 1t leads to immediately practical results or not Any country which limits It's appreciation of re- search to such branches of science as are likely to lead to industrial develop ments is low in the scale of civilIza- tion- The works of the litterateur or artist appeal directly to the public and can be appreciated according to their merits. Not SO the labors of the scien- tific investigator. His achievements are measured largely by the utilitarian standard, and certainly cannot be said to occupy the same position as sister branches of culture. Prof Meldola has no desire to give countenance to antagonism between pure and applied science. Far from this being the case the rate of progress Is actually meas urable by the degree of substitution of pure science for empIricism.

SIXTY LIVES LOST.
Part of New Quebec Bridge Falls Into River.

QUEBEC, Aug. 30.-A section of the new bridge across the St. Lawrence river i've miles below this city col iapsed, carrying scores of bridge work CTS and mechanics into the water. It is estimated that the loss of life is at least sixty and may exceed that num- Der by twenty.
 The bridge was about a mile and a half in length and half of 1t, from the south shore to midstream, crumpled up and dropped into the water. Ninety men were at work on this section of the structure, and the whistle had just blown for the men to quit work for the day when there came grinding sound from the bridge at midstream. The men turned to see what had happened, and an instant later the cry went up, ''The bridge is falling"
 The men made rush shoreward, but the distance was too great for them to escape. The fallen section of the bridge dragged others after it, the snapping girders and cables booming like a crash sf artillery. Terror lent fieetness to the feet of the frightened workmen as they sped shoreward. but only few of them reached safety be- fore the last piece of ironwork on the south shore was dragged into the river.
 Near the shore the wreckage of the bridge did not go below the surface of the water, and eight workmen who re- mained above water were rescued and taken to the hospital at Lewis.
 The steamer Glenmont had just cleared the bridge when the first sec. ton fell. The water thrown up by the debris came clear over the bridge of the steamer. The captain at once low cred boats. The small boats piled back. ward and forward over the sunkep wreckage for half m hour.- but there was no sign of life. The twisted iron and steel had its victims in . terrible death grip. A few floating timbers and the broken strands of the bridge toward the north shore were the only signs that anything unusual had hap pened. There was not ripple on the smooth surface of the St. Lawrence as it swept along toward the gulf.
 All the men drowned were employees of the Phoenixville Bridge company and subcontractors of Quebec and Montreal.
 The Quebec bridge was begun about seven years ago, and 1t was to be fn- ished in 1909. Subsidies had been granted by the federal and provincial governments and the city of Quebec. and the estimated cost of the work was $10,O00,000. The Phoenixville Bridge company of Pennsylvania had the contract for the construction of the bridge and was working from both aides of the river.
