and other craft, and the many other evidences of thrift which cannot cease although debarred from landings downtown. It may be that surprise awaits the grasping instinctive element that endeavors to stamp out ancient methods and overtTrn the old land marks: the cycle of ways and means has ali but completed it's course; and to adopt such primitive methods as are advocated in the Waterway idea is not retrogressive. but on the contrary is building upon the tried foundation Of stability which the sagacity of our fathers approved of and employed. The question of waterways and the benefits therefrom is one of vital i'm portance, and the means within the reach Of our city should be cherished as priceless heritage; and when the progressive disposition of man prompts him to locate upon the stream. 1t is that he may take advantage of Its helpful aid, and to be shut out from the prime advantage and subsequent good that is always found at the door of the city by the sea is to be deprived of a birth right of inestimable value; and should arouse the aggressive and progressive force of the citizens love of home and city rights.

.DR. DUESING FEARS
 HIS ROBUST WIFE

Undaunted at his failure to have his marital ties severed in this city, Dr. Herman Dues1ng of East Main street, who has been strangely absent for nearly a year, has entered suit for dt- vorce at Reno. Nev., claiming that Mrs. Duesing a woman of exception ally robust physique, has treated him so cruelty that life with her is un- bearab1e.
 Dr. Duesing was refused a divorce in the local courts three years ago. Then he had his wife put under bonds to keep the peace. Mrs. Duesing, he says, is unwarrantedly jealous, and of ten interfered with the women who visited his office as patients.

First CantaIever Rridoe.

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 its 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 a small fracion of an inch of reaching far enough to allow the insertion ot the bolts that were to complete the gpan. For a time this was a puzzle, but was finally solved by an ingenious wurkman who suggested expansion by artificial heat, and it was forthwith supplied by means of burning kerosene oil under the steel girder.

Strjkino Comet.

If we ask the effect of a comets striking the earth we will readily sec that if the head of the comet were com posed of powders collision would have disastrous consequences. A rain of millions of great meteoric stones would, of course, bring catastrophe. If, however, it were merely rain of small particles or dust we might never become conscious of it. for the parti- cles would never reach us. They would be fused into gas through friction with our atmosphere many miles before reaching the surface If the gases lib erated by friction were in excessive volume we might suffer discomfort or even disaster. It is estimated that hundreds of millions of meteoric parti. cles strike our atmosphere every day. This would be serious matter if we were not protected by our great shel- tering envelope of air. Occasionally meteoric powder is large enough to resist the heat generated by this fric- tion and reaches the surface. This we call a meteorite. The now established connection between comets and me- teors is matter of great interest," Ralph B. Larkin in North American Review.

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 .,oral sua. sion wherewith tha tactful western wife is won't 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 ride by side she is understood to oc. cupy the position of mistress in her own house. Even then 1t generally stops at understanding.-From ''Thinga Seen In China," by J. R. Chitty.

Willing to holp.

Lord Pauncefote suffered gfoa00 from rheumatic gout in his latter dayA, and be walked stifily and sometimes had to use two canes. He went ono afternoon to make a call, and he re- nained quite long time, go long that lhe horses got restive, and the groom walked them up and down the street. When Lord Pauncefote left the houR he carriage was not in front, and, Thinking there was some mistake in his orders. he started to walk to the
 mbassy, which was only square oS two. But he had twinges of his old enemy, and the pavements were fey. He was 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 courteous salutation, asked: My friend. will you walk beside me and help me home7 It is just short ways, but I am afraid of falling. shall greatly appreciate it."

"Choir."

Churchgoers who follow the service in their prayer books would certainly miss the "dear old phrase'' concerning squires and places where they sing," and in time the old fashioned "quires" may be made new fashioned again by the coming of rationalized spelling "Choir' was most unnecessary out. rage upon the language. The old Eng fish "quer" or "Quere" became quite naturally "quyer' or "quire," and so 1t remained until the end of the seven teenth century, when somebody seems to have introduced "choir" bcause it looked more like the French "choeur," as if that were valid reason. There could have been no danger of confus. ing a church "quire" and "quire" of paper, which is a different word, the French "cahier," probably from Latin "quaternarium," collection of four leaves.-London Standard.

Cockades and Buttons.

The cockade originated simply in tA. knot of ribbons or strings by which the broad flaps of the seventeenth cen. tury round hat were cooked" or drawn up to the brim in fine weather, and thus originated the three cornered hat as well as the cooked hat of later times. There was nothing specially military about the usage, as the is. aorant assert. The same strings sur. vive in the loops of the hats of bishops and other ecclesiastical dignitaries in Great Britain, in the strings of the hats worn by French cures and Span. ish and Italian padres and in the cords which are still seen on the hats of some livery servants.
 It naturally became the custom TOT military men to "cock" their hats with the livery color of the prince they served, and as the Hanoverian color was the convenient one of black the "black cockade" became associated in the minds of the people with military uniform. In an old Scotch song of Shirramuir, citing "Woodword's Her. aldry," we read of "the red coat lads with black cockades," and a knot of white ribbons was naturally chosen as the badge of their opponents. When the old use of the strings was forgot ten the knot, in the form of a rosette of ribbon, survived, just as did the buttons on the backs of our coats, which were intended to fasten back the flaps in riding or marching.-"Jus- dce of the Peace"

Lowell told me when he was minister to England. It is the custom of the Royal Academy of Painters to hold 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" nd he proceeded to enlarge upon the power of imagina ton, declaring 1t to be the greatest force in the world.

Locked Shah In House of Common,


 A shah of Persia, who made state visit to England in 1873, had curl ous experience in the distinguished strangers gallery of the house of com mons. He soon got tired of watching the legislators at work, but when he made a move to go he was told he could not leave the gallery. It hap pened at that moment that division was called, and in accordance with the practice which then prevailed all the doors of the house were locked uatil the vote was taken. MT. Gladstone made an interesting comment on the incident. Ut is." he wrote in his jour nal, probably, or possibly, the first time for more than 500 years that g foreign sovereign has been under per sonal restraint of any kind in Eng nd."-Westminster Gazette.
