The Karlfbrucko of Prayuo and Itfe History. I'.r (fulttm II liaa Smune.I tha Mal but Krrrtit I lotitla Mave Itea atrrrtl Ita latrttetiua eeeaary. A short time ago the fhsputrrjaa stated that tlve famous KarlsbrucHe, or (hiirle bridge, across the MoUlau at Ir:igu-c was doomed to tVstructiou by the great floods whirh have Urn cru sting such havoc in aentral llarope. The p.ir.irapU mw a brief on ami probably attracted little attention, but no on who knows the pride with which f-r hundreds of years the ltohe inians have regarded this britlge could road tho few liuea without thrill of sympathy. To write a history of tho Karlsbrucke, Bays the I'hicago Post, would W to writ the history of Prague .hiring the past five centuries. This, indeed, were well worth the doing, for though th old world is rich in historic cities, few are more interesting than this wonder ful old town with it stately buildings, its quaint old houses and beautiful gardens, and its memories of illustri ous men and women of litis arid Wallenstein, of Marin Theresa and her implacable enemy, Frederick the Urcat. llow many times those and others scarcely lea famous have, pushed to and fro over the Karlsbrucke. Prague was the favorite eity of that splendid monarch, Charles IV., "the stepfather of the empire, but the father of Hoheinia." He ent.-iblit.hed her cele brated university and leautiflcd the town in many ways, besides laying the foundation of the Karlsbrucke in 1357. For one hundred and fifty years the work went on. and when finally com pleted, in UOT. it was justly regarded as a triumph of the engineering skill of the age. Ern to-day few bridges are worthy of more admiration than the old Karlsbrucke with its grand old Gothic tower and its sixtcn noble arches spanning the leautiful Moldau. As tirase went on statues and primp of Azures were placed on the buttress of the bridge. The oldest of these, a larjre stone crucifix with images of the Virgin and St. John, was baiiJt with money wrung from the Jews. Short services were occasionally held before the crucifix. Another curious group, showing the suft'oriug souls in purgutory, commem orated the dreadful visitation of the plague. Hut the most interesting of the stuttves is that of St. John of Nepo muk, the patron of bridges and the saint whom all lragne delights to honor. St. John, so the legend tells us, was the confessor of the lovely queen of IJohemiit and refused to reveal the secrets of the confessional to her jeal ous hnsbund. The cruel t'cnzel com manded him to tortured, and after ward he was thrown from the Karls brucke at night into the rushing Mol dau. Whereupon the Ksly of the good prietit. instead of sinking, continued to float until taken from the wnn-r, while Ave brilliant stars hovered over it. The statue represents an ascetic figure hold ing a crucifix, and around the head are arranged the flvu miraculous stars. (tie liners longest near the) fine old tnwrt Ut the entrance to the bridge1. If by some spell like that used in tha Arabian tale we could unseal the lips of the sculptured figures; why look down M caimljfrom their lofty station, what tragic talcs they could tell of the many times the tide of ba.Uk' las surged, across tnts bruise; Pui'lnff this stormy days of the thirty years" war it was ties cene of many eor.tiicts, and for ten years the heads of twelve of ISohcmia's lVotestant nobles swiiii' in iron cages from the tower. Later, the citizeus of Prague rallied to its defense against tho Swedes and held it for three long months, till the peace of Westphalia ended the war. When Frederick the (.treat invaded l'.oheinia it was the scene of a bloody struggle, and as lately as the revolution of 1SI a famous barri cade was built there by the students. 15ut the days of the Karlsbrucke ara numbered. Recently three of its arches were carried away by the swollen river and the collapse of a fourth a little later renders its destruction inevitable. Hegtin as the uight of the middle ages was licginning to roll away ami finished in the dawning light of the reformation, the old bridge falls just as the twenti eth century opens before the world, WOMAN'S HAPPIEST MOMENTS.

It is by no means the worst thing in the world to be called a crank. I nnd as I prowl up and down through the earth that wherever I meet a man with Miflieient individuality to take a stout htand against impurity and shams of every kind, too honest to get rioh by underhanded methods and too brave to be a cowardly conformist, he is called a erank. Wherever a woman is found who thinks more of her brain than of the hat that surmounts it he is a erank. says a writer In the Chicago Herald. Wherever a man is found who hon estly believes life holds better things for him than to become a dancing pop injay and a social success by reason of fine clothea and society manners, who would rather wear a shiny seamed coat and an unfashionable hat, and thus gain the means to cultivate hw mind and enlarge his soul, he is a erank. . Wherever a young girl is found who laughs at f ashion and wears a gown to nlease herself, rather than to conform to a passing style, who stands by friend at the risk of becoming unpopu lar, and who is a law unto herself by the dictates of her own pure, sweet, womanly heart, she is a erank. , Dis coverers - are cranks. ' - Philanthropists and poets are cranks. Christopher Columbus was a" rrank, and yet Chicago,, after four hundred years, is turning itself head over heels todobim honor.. Ah! well, my dear, when you count on your fingers the world's most famous cranks and note the outcome of their crankiness, who would not choose but go down upon the despised list?

Tliey were after the eckroa-he, mice and insects that had taken up their aJnxle in thts roofs. Now and then squeaks of young mice told the story. As fat as the ants found their load (generally a eoekroaeh), they would make off down the hills in long lines. Luckilv thrv never touched our CTan- aries; they - seemed t prefer animal food. Toward morning there would W only a few thou-and lst ones, aimless ly tearing about, apparently looking for the main body whieb. had just de cani J cl. Next day nt a cockroach could b found in the place, so the ants did us a service in riding us of thcM? pests. The rats lial decamped also, and did not re turn for some days. Ve have s-en outside the f rt armies of red ants two and a half days long i. e.. they would take two and a half days passing a given spot. During the day the march would be incessant, every one marching at his very best. Toward night they would huddle np in a seeth ing mass, and if disturbed scatter in all directions. The width of the at re a m of ants would be about two inches generally. On the flanks of this were the soldiers, fully twice the length of the workers. On our approach thebe big chaps would run out and up our legs like lightning. No birds, but of one sort, seemed to trouble them. These were little fellows about as big as sparrows and of a dull grny color. - AMBIDEXTROUS BARBERS. Moat Mrs Caa I h Bat Ou Hand la Phari naj There are lota of barbers in this city w ho won't hint a man that cannot shave himself with either hand, said a Itoston barber to a St. Loui tHobe-lHmocrat reporter. Of tho people who shave them selves, forty-nine out of fifty ean hold their razor in but one hand. Vet it is just as easy and much more convenient to shave the right side of your face with your right hand and the left side with the. left hand Ii you only begiu that way. No two men who shave tin. -selves do the work alike, especially if they took it up before going1 to a bar ber. I know a wealthy Rack nay man who shaves himself standing in tho corns r of his room and facing tlie wall. In youth h was a poor country boy, and likvi most boys, boueht a razor on the quiet. Hut be had no looking glass in his chamber, and rather than let his folks know what h was np to, he faced the wall and scraped away by sense of feeling. Once learned that way ho never had use for a glass. I knew an old farmer in the eounrry who shaved himself sitting on a milking stool aud looking at his reflection in a bucket of water. That was the way he learned when a boy, and he said he couldn't shave himself standing up. Cleverly Tarried. At Oxford some twenty years ago a tutor of one of the colleges limped in his walk. Stopping one day at a rail waj station some years afterward he was accosted by a wall-known poli tician, who recognized him and asked if he was not the chaplain of the college at such time, naming the year. The dtor replied that he was. "I was there," said his interrogator. "I knew you by your limp." Well, said the doctor, '"it seems my limping mads a deeper impression on you than my preaching. "Ah. doctor." was the re ply, "it is the higlrest compliment yon can pay a minister to say he is known by hU walk rather thim by his conversation.
