Whats in the Paper?

The paper tells of wedding bells and bridal wreaths and dam- sels blushing; of men who waste their lives in haste, upon their foolish errands rushing: of pUli- lies and ringsters' tricks, of Windy Jims with schemes unend- ing; of griefs and cares and Sghs and prayers, and mothers OCT sick children bending. The paper tells of prison cells where human junk is safely herded; of church and pew, where l and you hear helpful sermons: aptly Worded; describe the den where broken men have heard the doors of hope shut, changing; describes the hall, where on the wall a hundred priceless prints are hanging. The paper speaks of ugly leaks discovered in the na- tion's coffers; of noble schemes and rosy dreams, and of the sneers of ribald scoffers; o1 queens and kings, of all the things that chance on earth in prose or verse; of pain, relief
 of joy and grief, and farewell
 tours in sable hearses. We read it all--the stories tall of native stunt and foreign caper--with
 brooding eye, and fiercely cry

Fsats sk. Engineering That Wsrs oWs6 | Considered impossible.

FsaAs sf. Engineering That Wsrs oWsS ceasidsrsd impossible. Some remarkabIe feats in rail- way construction have been accom- plisl,ed in the Rocky mountain states. Passes that a few years ago were deemed insurmountable have been scaled, seemingly impass. able canyons have been threaded, and mountains have been tunneled to cut down heavy grades until the barrier of the Rockies has become DO barrier at all.
 But a generation ago engineers pronounced Colorado hopeless from a railway viewpoint. Yet today there are several railways making daily climbs of the main range in Colorado, and a road built not so long ago from Denver toward Salt Lake climbs the barrier at point where twenty years ago engineers said no roadbed could be successful ly made.
 This road-the Denver, North western and Paciic-crosses the main range at an altitude of Ill., 660 feet. This impressive climb is effected only by the most tortuous windings and numerous tunnels. At one point-Bow Knot-the train plunges through a tunnel, makes a sharp turn to the right and returns over tue very tunnel it entered few minutes before.
 At another point the train 'Sloops the lake" It swings around tiny body of water called Yankee Doodle lake, and in so doing it describes complete circle. It then climbs up and up and makes another curve and climbs again, enabling one to stand at the lake and count three tiers of track above him.
 When the Denver and Rio Grande company prepared to build through the Rockies engineers contended IIldI CHc CdHyou oI tue AI AIhdiisoo could never be penetrated its entire length. There was one spot in this awe inspiring chasm whase there was not room for roadbcd on either side of the stream. The walls of the canyon came down to the swift current of the Arkansas with out foothold for a man on either side.
 But an engineer suggested a hanging bridge suspended between the walls of the canyon. The bridge was built with supports imbedded in the solid rock, and across it the heavy transcontinental trains now fit daily with nothing but the slen- der ironwork between the river and the top of the canyon, 2,GO0 feet above. Great iron braces, which in the vastness of the canyon appear spiderlike in their proportions, were thrown across the gorge and anchored securely in the sheer sides. Huge cables depend from these braces, holding long iron bridge. which extends not across but paral- Tel with the course of the river.- Harper's Weekly.

Advice For the Minister.

In preaching the minister had been rather long winded when the young bride remembered that she had left the dinner in the gas range without regulating the flame. She hastily wrote d note and slipped it to her husband, who was an usher. He, thinking it was intended fer the minister. calmly walked up and laid it on the pulpit.
 The minister paused in the midst of his sermon and took the note with a smile which changed into a terrific frown as he read:
 "Please hurry home and shut oil the gas.''
