It cost $16,- 100000 and tfty-slx lives. The work. men began at either end and worked toward the center. When they met aud undertook the last connection 1t was found that the two ends lacked & small fracion of an inch of reaching far enough to allow the insertion ol the bolts that were to complete the span.

He went one afternoon 10 make 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 hot 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.

The Middle Horse.

A farmer, blowing with three horses hitched abreast, noticed that the mid dle horse became tired and exhausted long before either of Its mates. AS the animal was the equal in ever way Of the other two. he was puzzled as to the cause of its not being abir to stand the same amount of work He finally observed, however. that as they drew the blow along the three horses held their noses close togeth CT. with the result that the middle horse was compelled to breathe the eH pired air from It's fellows. The farmer then procured long jockey" stick which he fastened witb straps to ihr bits of the outside horses The device worked perfectly. for. given its right ful share of good. fresh air. the n1A. de horse was able to do tue sa ne amount of work and with no greater fatigue than it's fellows
 Many persons are like the middle horse-they do not get their rightful share of pure air. And this is wh! they are not able to perform as mucl work nor of as good quality as they would otherwise be able to do.-C Iii cago Tribune
