The Long bridge across the Po tomac is being demolished, a mod ern steel structure having been built to take its place. Originally opened in 180 b, it has been con nected with some of the most stir ring events associated with the his tory of the national capital. In the war of 1812, in the civil war, in times of peace, it has been a noted landmark. It l'ek liie tread of thou sands who marched across it to up hold the flag when the Union was threatened. It saw the frightened hosts fleeing after Bull Run. It welcomed the returning veterans as they brought their victorious ban ners to be borne pfoudly in the grand review after four years of fierce fighting. The words “Long bridge” have found their place in the history of the nation. No mod ern structure will ever have any sentiment connected with it. The laborers who tear the old bridge down are destroying one of the landmarks of the nation. —Chicago Tribune. Frenchmen Ealk at Checks. Frenchmen have never eared for checks. They do not understand them. A few days ago a French journalist who had received a check on a well known London bank show ed it to me and asked me what he ought to do with it. “Has it any value?” he asked. “Why, certainly,” I said. “You simply indorse it on the hack, take it to your hanker, and he will give you the amount written on it.” But lie seemed somewhat skepti cal, and 1 could see that lie would much have preferred a postal or der. But at last a serious attempt is to be made by parliament to teach the Frenchman how to make use of the check. Jt will, however, require the sanction of a special law before the masses will believe that there is any real good in the system. It is proposed to introduce the check with the assistance of the postoffice and to issue chegk hooks for a sum not inferior to $20 —Paris Letter. A Boar Water Finder. In South Africa a cousin of Gen eral Do Wet lias been performing wonders in locating water. The Doer had been steadily building up a small fortune ns a water finder be fore the. war broke out and ut the outbreak of hostilities had on hand an order respecting ten farms in General Botha’s district. He fought in the war and was taken prisoner and deported. During his term of captivity lie earned $1,500 in find ing water for the British govern ment. The medium employed is his own secret, lie first tried all sorts of twigs, but found none successful, so lie set to work and built himself a little contrivance of his own. It is with this that he locates a spring. To Keep W indows From Frosting. The haberdasher sighed, for his window, full of lovely neckties, was •piite opaque with frost. “I'd give a lot,” he sai'd. “for some method to keep my window from frosting over in cold weather." “I’ll lot you have the method you want for nothing,” said the patron. “Coat the inside of your window with glycerin, and it will keep as clear in winter as in summer. I'm a surveyor, and in my trade we al ways use glycerin on our glass in struments when it's cold." A Costly Clock. An astronomical wedding gift, says the Weltall, has been presented to King Alfonso of Spain by the republic of Peru. It is an artistic table clock designed by the French sculptor Carrion Belleuse and is held bv the muse of astronomy. The zodiac, stars, figures, etc., are made of lapis lazuli, g<id and pre cious crystals. The clock received the grand prix at the Paris exhibi tion of 11)00 and cost $16,000. Buckwheat C ike*.

Red Wright was a man of quick ind furious temper, while Jim Don ovan was as calm and unemotional a3 l;ts partner was violent. The two prospectors were cooking breakfast in their mountain camp one morning when the coffeepot happened to be Red’s particular charge. The bacon, under Dono van’s supervision, was almost done, so Red set the coffeepot on the tire for a final boil. One of the sticks burned in two, and the pot upset. Red flew into a rage, and, jumping for the coffeepot, he kicked it from one end of the camp to the other and back again. Donovan watched him with calm interest, and when Red’s fury had expended itself Don ovan pulled his sixshooter and filled the coffeepot full of holes. “By gracious, man!” cried Red. wringing his hands. “What did you do that for? We can’t make no more coffee 1” “Do you think I’m goin’ to stand here and see a son-of-a-gun of a cof feepot get the best of a friend of mine?” demanded Donovan as he returned to his bacon. —Lippincott’s Magazine. Those Dear Girls. illßJll “lie said I affected him like old wine.” “I suppose that was a delicate way of intimating that you improve with age.”—Philadelphia Press, Cutting Up. “Archibald is so delightfully ec centric,” confessed the pretty girl, blushing deeply. “Why, after he had been calling for some time he used to cut a little notch in the old sofa every time he kissed me. Then at the end of each month I used to count them.” “And you count them now ?” ask ed her chum. “Oh, dear, no! There—there isn’t any sofa.”—Chicago News. All In Vain. The foreign nobleman puffed his cigarette dejectedly and refused to be consoled. “And to think,” he sighed, “I proposed to her on my knees every night for two weeks!” “And did you bag the beautiful heiress at last?” asked the inter viewer. “No. All I bagged was my trousers.”—Detroit Tribune. Without Cost to Him. “I’m introducing an automatic machine,” said the caller, “that will pay for itself in a year.” “I’ll take one if it will do that,” promptly said the manufacturer. “If it will par for itself in a year ?” “No; automatically pay for itself in a year.”—Catholic Standard and Times. Orr to Him. “That was Miss Richlcy who just passed,” said Wise. “Yes,” gasped Forchen-Hunt, “and didn’t you notice? She ac tually cut me! What do you think of that?” “Well, she’s pretty sharp.”—Phil adelphia Press. A Permanent Enterprise. “If you were to actually reach the north pole your occupation would be gone.” “Not at all,” answered the arctic explorer. “It would doubtle ?ho as hard to rediscover as it was to lo cate in the first place.” —Washing- ton Star. Ready. Baron Rapineau (ill with influen za) —If I were to die, you will have to buy a grave and a tomb, although those things are expensive. Nephew —Do not let that trouble : you, dear uncle. I will pay for I them. —Nos Loisirs. WOOD’S SEEDS Bliss Triumph Seed Potatoes are one of the most popular kinds with truckers all through the South.

An unknown exchange of the Al bany Ledger observes: Few Missoip rians know from what the state took its name. The original tribe of In dians which the word Missouri was was “Onmossouries,” which meant in Indian language “dwellenw at the mouth of waters,” as the teribe lived near the mouth of the Missouri river. A number of histories state that Missouri .means “muddy,” which is erroneous.— Kansas City Journal. Game of Basket Chestnut.
