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.

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. 1 ■— ^ >»» — Jones—What, Smith a rich man, •you say?

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.
