 The attendance was unusually large and the amusement offered of such varied and interesting character that if anyone failed to have good time it was no fault of the committee Dancing started at o'clock to music furnished by Misses Ethel Graham and Charlotte Bacon at the piano and F r.

LARGEST SPAN FOR DETROIT'S
 NEW BRIDGE

DETROIT, Dec. l2.- Plans for the now international suspension bridge to connect Detroit and Windsor, just announced, show that it will have the longest single span in the world meas. uring 1892 feet. or 24 inches longer than the great cantilevcr at Quebec. or doublc-dcck construction the new link between Canada and the United States will accommodate street car, automo- bile and pedestrian traffic on the upper deck and passenger and freight train service on the lower deck.
 Barring unforeseen delays. actual construction work will commence next spring and within four vca~s thn upper deck should be ready for scr vice. Without interfering with traffic on the highway deck. it is planned then to begin construction of the lower docE, which should be finished in two years more
 The hr.drn and it's approaches will has. g total weight of Io7ooo toms. w,> eight cables carrying thn hug. .,an Six of 'hn.n p.hI.s will bo 2i mnn. n diameter and two will bo I> inches thick: together they will sup. DOT. d pull oG liG0,oooo pounds
 Suspended from two towers each rising ESQ feet above the water. the span will have width of 97 feet for the highway deck with two trolley tracks. two sidewalks and two road ways, while the lower deck will have four railway tracks and a 20-foot space for public utilities equipment Electric locomotives would be used for traffic across the lower deck.
 Completion of the bridge will mean the end of the train ferries. which for years have carried freight and pas sengcr trains across the Detroit river, even after the opening of the Michi- gan Central tunnel.
 The bridge, which will be built by the Canadian Transit Company and the American Transit Company, with the approval of the Canadian and United States governments, will span the river almost from the center to the shore line of the two cities Construc- tion is expected to begin from the American side.

HONOLULU, Dec. F. His full name is Cyrtorrhinus Mundulus, but they call him Cy for short.
 He's only bug, but he was brought here all the way from Queensland by the Hawaiian Sugar Planters Association for the purpose of preying upon and if possible ex- terminating the leaf hopper which was formerly such a menace to the sugar cane crop.
 Cy has made good, too. thereby justifying his costly Importation.

Earliest New England Dwellings.

It is generally thought that the
first kind OF dwelling built by the
early settlers in New England were
log cabins, but as matter of fact
these pioneers often felt obliged to
wait until after they had reaped their
first harvests before they took the
time TO erect anything so durable and
elaborate as a weather-tight cabin.
Like the primitive people of southern
Europe. like the Indians of Mexico,
they used what caves they could find.
But often they merely dug In. finding
a shelter much as the armies in
France did during the war.

Rs., Grade. Really cheaps.t.

The purchase Of a cheap grade Of
goods for any serious use is very poor
economy. Such goods soon give way.
and the service they render, while
they do last, is not satisfactory. To
obtain a given amount of service one
will spend more money on articles Of
cheap grade than upon those that are
better. The obtaining OF the same
amount of pleasure and satisfaction
from the use OF a cheap thing and a
good one is an impossibility.
