First CantaIexer Rridue.

The first cantalever railroad bridge Is the one across the Firth of Forth at Queens Ferry, Scotland. It is nearly one and half miles in length. Fifty one thousand tons of steel were used in it's construction. employing as many as 5000 men at one time. It cost $16.- 100000 and fifty-six lives. The work men began at either end and worked toward the center. When they met and undertook the last connection 1t was found that the two ends lacked small fraclon of an inch of reaching far enough to allow the insertion ot the bolts that were to complete the span. For time this was puzzle, but was finally solved by an ingenious workman who suggested expansion by artificial heat, and 1t was forthwith supplied by means of burning kerosene oil under the steel girder.

An lmaujnative Statesman

Imagination is the greatest moving force in the world In saying this am merely repeating remark of Dis raeli's, and to prove the strength of his conviction l will repeat story Mir. Lowell told me when he was minister to England. It is the custom of the Royal Academy of Painters to hold a private view of their pictures before the public exhibition. Disraeli, walk ing arm in arm with Browning through the galleries, said, What strikes me most forcibly here is the lack of imagination,' and he proceeded to enlarge upon the power of imagina- tion, declaring it to be the greatest force in the world. In responding to a toast at the banquet which followed the private exhibition he dwet upon the wealth of imagination in evidence on the walls about him and again ex- pressed his conviction that imagina- ton is the moving force in the world. Browning repeated Disraelis first re- mark to Gladstone, who sat beside him, and he muttered, "The devil"'- John Trowbridge iu Atlantic.

Mlilinu to heip.

Lord Pauncefote suffered greatly from rheumatic gout in his latter days, and be walked stiffly and sometimes had to use two canes. He went one afternoon to make a call, and he re- mained quite long time, so long that the horses got restive, and the groom walked them up and down the street When Lord Pauncefote left the house the carriage was not in front, and, thinking there was some mistake in his orders. he started to walk to the embassy, which was only a square or two But he had twinges of his old enemy, and the pavements were Icy. He was a large, heavily built man, and he feared fall. While he was pondering over his dilemma along came young man in working clothes. and the British ambassador, after q courteous salutation, asked: My friend, will you walk beside me and help me home? It is just short ways, but ] am afraid of falling. I shall greatly appreciate it." The young man looked him over and then said thickly, "Old gent, l am pretty full myself, but I'll do the best 1 can--tlla very best I can"

Where Wives Are Kept Under.

A Chinese Mrs. Caudle is incon- ceivable, for she would promptly be returned to her father labeled '"Too muchee bhoberry." Only by one means can the lady obtain any right what ever to use even the mild moral sua- sion wherewith the tactful western wife is wont to turn events to her lik- Ing If as bride the Chinese woman succeeded in sitting on any corner of her husbands clothes at the moment when, halfway through the nuptial ceremonials, they first seat themselves side by side she is understood to oc- cupy the position of mistress In her own house.

Daintiness In Oouuh.

A west side family that abhors all products of the bakeshop advertised for a maid of all work.
 "Can you make bread?" was the question put to each applicant.
 Of all the maids who professed to own that accomplishment the mistress chose the one with the frailest hands aid arms.
 ''l don't know about the wisdom oe that choice" ventured male member of The fa miiy. ''Wouldn't it have been better to pick out sturdier girl?"
 Not at all" said the lady. What we require in this family, above all things. is good bread. We half live en bread. am confident have chosen a good breadmaker. A girl with rather delicate hands always makes better bread than one whose fists are like sledse hammers Bread to be good needs to be coddled in the knead- ing. The light fingered do that in- stinctively, but the heavy handed slam and bang the very life out of the dough. New York Globe.

Philosopher and Philanthrorist.

'Coquelin was very charitable" said a theatrical manager. He did more for superannuated actors and actresses than any other man i,l France. once heard him speak cn charity ill the French Actors home that he did so much for.
 There are plenty of philanthro- pists.' said CoQuelin. There are plen- ty of philosophers-plenty, I mean, ac- cording to the definition that too many of us accept
 He smiled grimly.
 Too many of us, said Coquelin define a philosopher as one who bears with resignation the cold and hunger from which his neighbor is suffering, and too many of us define philan- thropist as one who gives away other peoples money"

about seen its day in Florida Sen
RtOT Buell. Cook used to use one

from personal experience that there
simply is no chance for birds or any
other game with that kind of a gun.
And while he never met with an ac-
cident he thinks they are a bad kind
OF nrearm from the standpoint of the
innocent bystander,
He introduced a bill in the senate
prohibiting their sale or even their
carrying. The bill went to the com
mittee on Public Health by a ruling
% President Hudson. which everybody
thought was the most humorous kind
a. the time. That committee calmly
deliberated over the matter and then
unanimously recommended that the
bill do pass" And the bill slipped

DOES NOT SOUND GOOD.
There is a bill before the senate al
lowing newspaper editors to exchange
advertising for railroad passes and al
so allowing sheriffs and other public
officials to ride on passes. The rail
road commission has entered strong
protest before the committee against
the law. The Pensacola Journal has
taken a firm stand before the com
nittee against the law. but some other
state papers desire its passage. The
committee decided yesterday TO cut
sheriffs OF the list, anyhow

mittee report concerning passes the

it is positively naughty to accept q
