Groat Bridges.
This is a day of great bridges. The
drawbridge, recently finished over the
Thames at New London, Conn., is the
largest and best structure of its class
in existence. The gffeat bridge across
the Frith of Forth at Queen’s Ferry,
Scotland, is a signal triumph of engi
neering genius. It has two spans of
1,700 feet each, the longest in the
world. This bridge ' was projected
over fighty years ago, but it was then,
and for many years later, considered
a practical impossibility. Now it is
almost completed, and the engineers
are on the lookout for still greater
achievement. It is probable, however,
that a long period will elapse before
any scheme like that suggested at the
recent meeting of the Iron and S’eel
Institute of Paris shall be accomplish
ed. This is a bridge from Cape Gns-
nez, France, to Folkestone, England.
Its length would be twenty-four miles
with 1-20 mighty piers. The headway
for ships would be 180 feet and the
height from the foundation to the top
of the structure 600 feet. Tins bridge
of the imagination is to be built of
steel, of which 1.000,000 tons would
be required. The hopeful projectors
of the enterprise estimate that it would
cost $175,000,000. Subscription
books have not yet been opened.—

Statistics Concerning Sleep.
Statistics of sleep may not prove
anything of importance, but they are
interesting. According to statistics
prepared in Russia, the need of sleep
is greater in women than in men,
the duration of sleep being long
er and the percentage of tired morn
ing and evening and of not tired being
three to two and two to three respect
ively as compared to the men. Stud
ents sleep longer and are less tired
than other men. The time needed to
fall asleep is about the same in all
three classes—20 8 minutes for the
men, 17 1 minutes for the students,
and 11.2 for the women. In each
case, however, it takes longer for those
who are frequent dreamers to fall
asleep than persons of opposite char
acteristics.
Some Points of Similarity.
How much a man is like old shoes 1
For instance, bolh a sole may lose.
Both have been tanned; both are made
tight by cobblers; both are left and
right; both need a mate to be com
plete, and both are made to go on
feet. With shoes the last is first; with
man the first shall be the last; and
when the shoes wear out, they’re men
ded new; when men wear out they’re
men dead too. ■ They both need heal
ing, oft are soled, and both in time
turn all to mould, they both are trod
upon, and both will tread upon others,
nothing loath. Both have their ties,
and both incline, when polished, in the
world to shine. They both peg out.
Now would you choose to be the man
or to be his shoes?—Exchange.
A Utile Particular.
It is said that a Portland shoe
manufacturer, being asked to assist in
providing bread for the suflering poor,
said that he would contribute to the
extent of 100 sacks of flour and 100
bushels of meal to each man who
might be found in Portlaud, who
neither kept a dog, drank rum or
used tobacco, who was iu need of
bread—and the person has not yet
appeared to claim the gift. The
Brunswick Telegraph tells this tough
story, and we ween we see the twin
kle that twinkled iu the editor’s eye as
he prepared the copy.—Lewiston
Journal.
This is the way a Tennessee editor
excuses himself: “How is it that our
readers expect us out here, twelve
miles from a railroad, twenty-five
miles from a river, twenty-five miles
from a city, millions of miles from
heaven, about two miles from the
devil and only two hundred yards
from a whiskey shop, to get out a
lively, newsy and interesting newspa
per? ’
There is nothing like having a pa
per to blow for a section, but it must
have the wind to blow with, and the
more wind the bigger the blow, some
thing every business man should un
derstand.—Metropolis.

LON«rELLOW<S MAIDEN,
who is—
“ Standing, with reluotnnt foet.
is a type of thousands of young- pirls who
are emerging from the chrysalis stage of their
existence, as they enter upon their “teens.”
Nervous, excitable, irritable, stirred by
strange, unknowaWo forces within them,
each a mystery unto herself, our girls need
the tondcrcst care, the most loving, patient
oversight, and the aid of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite
Prescription, to safely carry them through
this critical period, during which, in too
many lives, alas, are sown the seeds of dis
tressing forms of diseases peculiar to the
female sex. Hut this boon to womankind
will prevent all such diseases, or cure them
if they have already seized a victim. Woman
owes it to herself, to her family, and to her
social station, to be well and strong. Let
her then not neglect the sure means of cure.
“Favorite Prescription ” is a legitimate medi
cine. carefully compounded by an experienced
and skillful physician, and adapted to woman's
delicate organization. It is purely vegetablo
in its composition and perfectly harmless
in its effects in any condition of the system.
