'A TAU ABUT BRIDGES, (Coli TIN uED. ) Tho bridge's last enemy is the weather The effect of this varies with the materia and the climate, Some kinds of stone harden when exposed to the air, and other' kinds soften, Some kinds aro rapidly chip- ped away by the frost, others are scarcely harmed by it at ell, : A stone which stands well hi one climate, may crumble. away in another. The piers are genore,lly built by means of coffer darns. Two roles of piles (logs or tilnbcrs sharpened at the end) are driven down around the place whore the pier is to be, The two rows are two or three feet apart, and into this space is thrown straw and earth, widish is tightly rammed down. This mak ' sort of tight box in the water, the topbell open and the bottom bein the g I g 'vo made e is called the r�ci. Thea n d bed of h h box ) the coffer dart The water is pumped out of it, and then the masons can begru laying the stones of the pier. When the pier is built high enough to be out of water, the dam is broken to pieces and taken away. The longest stone arch in the world is the Grosvenor Bridge, at Chester, England. It crosses the River Dee with a single span of two hundred feet. • There is another bridge at Chester which has a romantic interest. Chester is a very old city, •and the wall built arqund it by the Romans is still standing. As you pass out at the Forth gate you find yourself on a bridge whioh spans a deep chasm hewn through the solid red sandstone At the botton of this chasm runs a canal. Look westward, and,at a distance of a hundred yards from the bridge you are standing on, you will sec a small stone bridge ' over the same chasm, leading from nowhere to no- where ! If you were set down upon it, and should walk to either enol, you would bring up against a blank wall. It is only about a yard wide, and has a light iron, railing on each side, and the edges are overgrown with grass and weeds. This is the Bridge of Death? Long ago there was a prison on one side of the chasm, and a chapel on the other. Prisoners condenuted to death were led across this little bridge to attend their last religious services in the chapel, and were then led hack to execution. Both the prison and the chapel have now disappeared, and in place of one of them has risen a Blue - Coat School for boys ; but the bridge re- mains, and the head piaster of the school is its custodian. Venice hare more celebrated bridgge•with a similar history, the Bridge of Sighs. It spans one of the canals, and connects the ducal palace with the state prison. It is a •ise, small atone,arebeel bridge which is con- sidered a great curiosity, It stands tan d!sDiat a point Where two st c_ q uti e to third, rind is so built Sr to span all three.

Tho last voyage of the steamer America seems to have been an eventful one. The following is the story as given by the leg ; The America left Queenstown on Thursday morning a week ago with fair weather, hut within two hours after leaving the harbor a storm came up, which the officers of the ship describe as the most violent that the vessel ever passed through. Capt. Grace went to the bridge at the first sign of bad weather and remained there for forty* -two hours, exposed not only to the wind and rain, but to the waves, which during Thurs- day night washed clear over the bridge, fill- ing the lifeboats with water and clearing everything from the decks that the force of ten 'feet of water could move. In the midst of the storm a stoker, who had nar- rowly escaped being hurled into the fire by the pitching of the vessel, deserted his post and rushed upon fleck with the avowed in- tention of jumping overboard rather than risk again the danger of his work. He was forced back to the furnace room, but his fright soon developed into insanity, and he was found crouching between two furnaces covered way, of a single arch, high above in abject terror, awaiting another oppor- the water. Prisoners used to be led across tunity to commit suicide. He was placed it (or through it) to receive their sentence in irons. At the same time a panic was by in the judgment -hall of the palace.

Dense volumes of what seemed to be smoke throughout the ship caused the alarm, and the officers in charge had a des- perate fight for some tithe to control the frightened steerage passengers. Investiga- tion showed that the smoke was merely steam, caused by some water having washed over hot steam pipes. But again fright had developed into a case of insanity and one of the steerage passengers, an Englishman who had deserted his family and his position on the subject that he chose—perhaps A an English police force, now attacked the was a report from the Committee on Roads stewards with a razor, andthreatenod to kill and Bridges, but, at any rate, with infinite any one who tried to prevent him from pains he prepared a flowery speech and rose jumping overboard.

He began again— (stood in Venice on the Bridge of Sighs— He stopped again, for he heard the titter sin ; it was louder than before, and more watch after being disarmed, and became quieter after the storm had subsided. A cook was severely injured during the storm by being thrown, across the kitchen with a knife in his hand, cutting his head: About noon on Saturday Capt. Grace left the bridge, the ship being entirely out of danger.

Home is the place for rest and pure enjoyment. It is the refuge from care, trouble, and all the tumults and turmoils of life. It is the one spot where the heart's purest affections garner themselves, and seek their chosen resting -place. It is the woman's first duty to make this dwelling -place, over which she is the mother -queen, as cheery, cozy, and lovely as she can. The first requisite for this desired consummation is that she her- self i be happy; hopeful, pleasant, and con- tentedly agreeable. To become this she] must live hygienically, she must eat proper food, wear comfortable clothes, and not be oppressed by too many cares and burdens. If she is her own housekeeper, she should study to do her work on the most simple and easy plan, cook but a few dishes at a time, and have each as perfect in itself as pos- sible. Woman has no more important duty than that of making home pleasaut. Neatness and cleanliness are indispensable to a cheery, cozy -looking room. A plain room, plainly , furnished and scrupulously clean, is far more bright and beautiful than a more pretentious one richly adorned with costly furniture. that is soiled-, mutilated, .and always in dis- order: A few thrifty, nicely kept flowering plants and trailing vines are one of the most enlivening adjuncts to i. living -room, and a sheltered, sunny window is far better for them, in moderately cool"weather, than the Over -heated and often dusty inside position, and they are just as easily seen also. , Should there be unsightly objects in the roomor recesses that contain necessary ad- juncts to comfort and convenience, a bright chintz curtain will screen them frolic view, and will of itself make a pleasant resting - place for the eye. Should a bit of plaster- ing fall from the wall, apiece of white mus- lin neatly pasted over the place will glide the defect and save all further scaling off and droppings of litter'. In a thousand ways one can veil the.ugly end add to the beauti- ful, until the humblest little home may be- come a very bower of pleasantness and cheerfulness. fulness.
