The Herald, 1903-10-30, Page 2CEMENT BRIDGES.
Their Good Points Illustrated by One
Near Tavistock.
Tavistock Gazette: Time was when
Very crude Log 'bridges served the
early settlers. Then. came those of
hewn timber, followed again by
bridges of iron. These are passing
out and the up-to-date bridge—for
short spans at least—is made of cem-
ent. Cement bridges are not com-
mon by any means, but there is one
complete a mile past of the village
and one nearly finished at Nau's, be-
tween
Tavistock and Shakespeare.
The one on the town line was
built by the Counties of Oxford and
Perth, under the supervision of Com-
missioner P. Darold. There is a span
of 31 feet, the cost being $600. So
far as one can see there is absolutely
nothing but cement used in the con-
atruction, but we are informed that
some woven wire was laid in when
building the arch. We doubt that
It is needed, for if the bridge isn't
strong enough without the wire it
won't be with it. But we're not an
authority on bridge -building. and
there may be sow g clot' reason. The
bridge to which we are referring is
a strong structure, and even when
a traction engine p;Ise--es over there
isn't a tremor. In appearance it
is neat, but we offer a suggestion
that if carried our will make cement
bridges look much prettier. The sug-
gestion is this: Plant a few roots
of Boston ivy beside the abutments.
3n a few ,rears the whole structure
would be cpvered closel;- with a mass
of beautiful green. a cement bridge
would become an object of beauty on
the King's highway. The ivy would
do the bridge more good than harm,
for cement fleet is kept somewhat
damp will last longer than if it
becomes intensely dry at times.

One Lesson of the Circus.
Iola. Tian., Register.
When you go to a circus and
see what strength and suppleness
and grace the human body is cap-
able of, doesn't it make yon asham-
ed of your weakness and your slow
and heavy awkwardness" The mis-
take that has been made ever since
the renaissance has been in re-
garding the mind as the only im-
portant part of marc and looking
upon the body as a mere incum-
brance, or, at the best, as a sense-
less machine to be used iaithout
either knowledge of its wondrolus
mechanism and 'without mercy for
its limitations. It is a good thing
a circus comes around occasionally
to remind us that a well-trained
body is something a man may be
as proud of as a well-trained mind.

Wondering what was the matter,
Pat struck out vigorously after
him and landed at hie companion's

wid ye ? inquired Pat, feelingly.
"Natlrin'—notllin' at all," replied

"I flava been a great sufferer from

relief, I continued to use tbem till
I had taken twelve boxes, when I was

Content with present blisses,.

To reinforce her kisses ;

Appeared the Bustle!
alas! the struggle ,even then,
Was only just beginning,
For still the ranks of single men
Are far too slowly thinning,
And now, to match the low-cut wear
That eve to Eve allows,
Behold by day the open-air

New English Ware.
Altogether rich and distinguished is
a new English ware with the most
fetching deuoratio is. The pottery It-
self is of a rich apple green, and the
decoration is confined to the band or
margin. A tall jug shows a band of
yellow around, the upper part, and
some charming feminine heads ex-
quisitely decorated with posies are
upon this band. This piece is called
the Flower itlaidens, and the artist
is Spencer Edge, A jardiniere is just
as admirable. The pieces cost $3 to
$B, and include vases, tobacco and
cracker jar.-, in addit'on to those de-
scribed. 7.liio shade of green is a
happy hit, and the shapes are admir-
able, the jug being charmingly grace-
ful. Tree mellow tones of the deuora-
tion5 go beautifully with the gained
color.

The city of Washington has scarce-

breakfast and cline at home; and as
no restaurant can pay expenses on
lunch counters alone, few are in ex-
istence.,, The United States Govern-
ment, recognizing this fact, provides
a Luneb-room in the Pension Office
for the use of employees and others
who cannot afford to pay much for
their meals. Coffee, milk and vege-
tables may bo had for five cents,
while meat casts ten. Harper's

esting snapshot taken from the gal-

MESSRS. C. C. RICHARDS & CO.
Gentlemen,—I fell from the bridge leading
from a platform to a loaded car while assist-
ing my men in unloading a load of grain.
The bridge went down as well as the load
on my back and I struck on Oa, ends of the
sleepers, causing a serious injury to my leg.
Only for its being very fleshy wouly have
broken it. In an hour could not walk a
step. Commenced using MINARD'S LINI-
MENT and the third day went to Montreal
on business and got about well by the use of
a cane. In ten days was nearly well. I can
sincerely recommend it as the best Liniment
that I know of in use.
Yours truly,

Thrills and Frills.
Straws in Scotch plaid design are
novel.
The tailed sunflower rosette is a
pretty under -brim trimming.
Only the plainest hats require
veils by way of trimming.
Shirred ribbon trills laid flat on
a hat' are very smart.
A three-quarter wreath iof violets
trims a golden Neapolitan. run with
Violet strands to perfection.
Ribbon wreaths hold their color
much better than flowers formed by
muslin.
Some of the plaid straws are trim-
med with .green ribbon and deep blue
velvet.
Fur Fineness.
Sable comes first.
Sealskin holds its own.
Moleskin is, alas! not durable.
Baby lamb is in high favor.
A lamb blouse has Inner fronts of
embroidery.
Fur combinations are often sue-
cessful.
Petit gris (squirrel,) is right in line
with the popular gray shades.
White fox boas are lovely, eve-
elaily on those possessing fresh young
compieXlons.
Chenille fringe finishes are among
tho best -liked garnitures for Tine
furs.
Alt ermine stole is finished by a
fringe of• the little black tails over
a fall of Irish lace.
