The steep, high bank and wild current presented very real obsta- Ilee in those days, The towers had been erected and some men were wondering how a connection coma be made and one or a group of lads listening, told how their kites were frequently lost on the other shore. On a day when the wind was rever- tible, some of the met. crossed by ferry at the Falls while the rest r stayed with the boys and their kites. At last a kite was caught and by means of it strcnger and yet strong- er tronger cords pulled across—and at last the cable. The rest was easy. This bridge was constructed ,of wood and afterward replaced by an iron structure without any interrup- tion of traffic. Later the present steel arch bridge was •built around this bridge with but one hour's ces- sation of 'train or vehicle trarfic. This was accounted e. great arch!. tectural triumph.

It, teo, was a suspension bridge and the company ignored the clause in the charter which called for a bridge wide enougn to Permit carriages to :pass. However, traffic increased to such an extent that in the summer of 1888 they were com- pelled to widen the bridge, This was accomplished -without interrup- tion of traffic, but is said the con- tractor neglected to replace all the guy wires.

Tightly. tfitting shoes, with thin soles, over thin steak:ings, invite trouble, as do stockings which are so heavy as to cause the feet to perspire, When the bands and feet are chilled, they should be kept away from open fireplace, stove or rail. tater. A sadden change from cold to 'excessive heat causes a melt of blood to the parts' which have been °billed, and this leads to irritation, followed by chilblains. Under such circumstancees, sun• posing it is the feet which are cold, the proper procedure is to remove shoes and Stockings, First oS all, the feet should be placed in cold water and then given a brisk rub with a rough towel, This treatment restores circulation gradually and averts trouble. 1 A poor state of health may be the underlying cause of chilblains and e'a it follows that, as a practi- cal measure of prevention, the ken- eral health should receive eti'eetion through proper diet and such hy- &mile essentials as fresh air, rest, exercise, cleanliness and elimina- tion.
