The constant struggle is to think
ourselves younger than We are, and
this applies to men quite as much as
to women. Nor is 1t bad trait. 1t
is still true that one is apt to be as
old as he thinks. By constantly think
ing ourselves still young we keep up
the youthful spirit in us, and in the
world. When one is prepared to resign
himself to the elderly folk the Zig, "
SO to speak, is about all up. Deteriora-

erection OF the concrete abutments and

and have already finished the abutmeuts
and one pier, leaving but the middle. pier
to build.
Some difficulty has been met with in
the work ON this pier. Wooden sheath
ing was used i'm the caisson, but it was
found by A. f. Ponosmith, the supcrin-
tcndent. that this would not stand the
pressure which at high tide was 5000
pounds TO the square foot. Ii was then
decided TO put steel shcathing outside
the wooden sheathing. The work Of
putting in the steel sheathing win be
completed today. In order 10 reach
solid rock for this pier it was necessary
to 20 down forty-two feet below low
water, where blue granite OF good
quality was encountered. 1t is expected
that this pier will be finished in about
two months. I'm putting in the other
pier il was necessary TO 90 down 33 feet
/ In building the abutment on the north
side the workmen went down a dis.
tance of twenty-five feet and the abut'
ment ON the south side was put ON pill
ing. The cost of the concrete work
alone is about $4,000.
The steel work is being done by the
Fay, Hunt Erecting Company, of New
York, and the company has twenty mer
at work aud good progress is bein,
made. One-half OF the south draw hai
been put in position, and the derrick ii
being moved today so as to start wori
on the shore span on the southern side
after which the other half of the sout
