How the Work on a Rnnpennlnn Bridge la
1one.
Tbe workmen on tho culiles follow
clowly nfUT tho linildrrs of the iron
ruailway. Thcso meu nro tMinKed in
mora porilons rmyiloynifiit, if luiythiiiK,
tliim the fornit r. They climb nimbly
np to the very summit of tbe btiRn tow
ers, nnd thi'ii without flincbiiiR proceed
to (IchccihI tlio incliiii'd cnliloH. It mnkoa
tho rpiHitutora Udow tremble for them,
do diiiiRcrous is tho (U'fcent, but the
workmen brtvo no fear, else thny would
bo unliftfd for the duty required of
them. After alidiUR down tho rnblo n
dozi n feet, they etop nnd turn nronud
ittid Lino tlie towers. Tho men working
tho derrick slowly awing out to them
the end of ft cablo nbout three inches in
diameter. Another mail carries out to
them by mentis of a Himtll hand pulley
mid rope n retlhot band of steel, which
tho ruble workers scire with their
pinchers nnd clnup iinmud the large cnblo
on which they nro resting. Thn wbilu
tho fctecl is Ftill bot nnd ntallcalilo, tho
iminll cable, with its end secured in a
thick link of Ktcel, is brought into posi
tion, mid tho end welded into the red
hot steel band encircling tho mum ca
ble. The workmen ponnd and forgo
HWiiy, hummeiiiig, twisting nnd bend
ing the mctnl bef oro it cool n off. The
welding must bo dono rapidly, and tho
workmen lmvonotimo to slop mid think
of the dangerous position in which they
are placed. Probably tho only support
they Inivii conns from their legs, which
they wind tighl ly around thocablu, as
they swing their arms and upper part
of tho bony with violent exertion.
When this cnblo is forged into its
place, tho workmen tako a tew moments
of rest, nnd then hliilo down to the next
joint, where tlio same operation is re
pented, (.-nhle niter cablo is attached in
thiN way until there is a regular tnnglo
of titer 1 work und dandling cables, look
ing for all tho world likoa spider's web.
But there is order in this colossal spider
web such as never existed in tho home
of tho insect that weaves tbo webs in
our homes and woods. Gradually 0110
part of the bridge niter another is fin
ished, and when the "false work" of
scaffolds is removed tho structure stands
out iu all tho beamy of its lluisbcd state.
The bridge builders must not only be
skilled in their work, hut they must
have the hardihood and daring of tho
sailor, for most of their work is per
formed at an altitude higlier than the
topmast of any sailing vessel. They la
bor in all kinds of weather wheu the
sun is pouring down its torrid rays iu
midsummer or when the mercury regis
ters zero in winter.
To them their dizzy height isno more
than the 15 or 80 feet are to the ordi
nary carpenter or house painter. They
toldoin use ladders. They u ould.be con
stantly in the way. If they want to
reach a higher framework, they climb
nimbly up tho steel works or jump
lightly across from one truss to nnothor.
A jump of three feet from ginlir to
girder is a oomnionplaoe occurrenoe to
thexn. George E. Wulsh in Godoy's

Jrnn ftlohrpln'f Career.
Tho story of how ho came to adopt a
literary career is sufficiently -pictureHiue.
For soino time ho had picked np n pre
carious livelihood by doing "odd jobs,"
including such prosaio occupations as
that of bootblack and casual porter on
tho Quai Marseilles. One day be was
engaged by a gentleman to carry to tlie
railway station a heavy trunk. Arrived
at the station, there was an instant
mutual recognition. They were old col
lego chums. "What aro you doing
here?" asked his friend. "Carrying
your trunk, I beliove, " said .lean.
"Why do you do this?" "Because I
must." " Whero do you live?" "Come
and sec," replied Richepin.
Tho future dramatist took his friend
to liis dwelling a miserable room in an
attio in the poorest quarter of the town.
Upon the table lay scattered heaps of
manuscripts Jean's incursions in the
realms of poetry when tho moro prosaio
duties of tho day were over. Looking
through them, his friend was astounded
at their quality. "Why do you carry
tranbiiuid blacken boots when you can
do work liko this?" he asked. Uiohepiu
had never given tho matter a thought;
ho had never deemed theso products of
idle hours worthy of publication. Pub
lished they wcro, however, in a very
few weeks uud created an immense
sensation. From that moment Jean
Richepin has never looked back. West

" Why, " eaid one of them, "what did
yon expect? Ho wonted a wife to mako
a home ior him. Yon couldn't marry
him. So why do you complain?"
The widow wipod her eyes.

housekeepers that it is the good potato
which breaks open when it is boilod.
A scientist who has made potatoes a
study insists that tho good potato is tho
one that remains quietly in its coating
of brown during all of the processes of
cooking. Instead of the swelling and
bursting of tho skiu being cuused by
tbo presonco of starch it has been as
certained that albumen is the substance
that causes this broaking open. An or
dinary potato is made np of threo
fourths of its weight in water, two
touths in starch and ouo-flftioth of ni
trogenous matter. If it cracks and falls
to pieces during tho process of boiling,
it is deficient iu albumen, and therefore
lucking in tlio most important ooustit-cent.--Now

Tlio wonders of surgery will, itseems,
fever ccaso. Among the most important
achievements is tho transplanting of
muscles. This has been successfully
done in the case of a patient who hud
for half n lifetime been unable to use
nno leg on account of paralysis occur
ring in early childhood. The operation
is thus described: "A six inch longi
tudinal inci-'io!! is Hindu tut tl i inner
sido of tho thitih, with the in id lie, op
posite tho top of tlio patella. The rarto
rins is disst cti d out, cut off nt its In
sertion, brought forward and attached
to the ninscnlnr fascia just above and a
little to the inner side in the patella.
"The attachment nnv t be made firmly
by splitting tho fascia and drawing the
muscle through, so that it becomes ad
herent to both inner nnd outer surfaces.
Kangaroo tendon is used for sutures,
being tho best material. The wound is
then closed, and the whole thigh is
bandaged, mid finally a plaster of paris
bandage, or a long splint, is applied.
Tho patient is kept recumbent for two
weeks at least, gentle motion is com
menced nt the cnih of threo weeks, and
tho plaster Is entirely omitted nt tho
end of from five to six weeks. This op
eration has been performed seven! times
with great success, the only failures oc
curring where the muscles were imper
fectly attached. This stnto of things
was entirely remedied, however, in tli6
later operations." Now York Ledger.

Guatemala might easily sustain tet
times its present population. The soil ii
rich and easily cultivated, and, unlike
the other Central American republics,
there is plenty of labor. Somo parts of
tho country aroqnito thickly populated,
bnt tho others itre covered with dense
forests and n variety of timber, which
might be easily made marketable if
means of transportation were provided.
But, although Guatemala is much
further advanced than tlio rest of Cen
tral America, her railway system does
not exceed 2.ri0 miles; there is no inter
nnl navigation, nud tho wagon roads nro
in a deplorable condition. The mineral
wealth of the country is supposed to be
large, but it is only slightly developed.
Tho mines are inaccessible, and, iu the
absence of modern machinery, which nt
present cannot be conveyed to them,
cannot bo worked with profit.
Tho government offers generous in
ducements to immigrants. Tho land
laws are liberal, and efforts liavo been
made from time to time to secure the
establishment of colonies and tho pre.
emptiou of public lands by private set
tiers. Hut nil the accessible area is at
present occupied, and on foreigner can
expect to pri sper in Guatemala unless lie
hns abundant capital which will enable
him to purchase at high prices planta
tions already developed. Forum,

It is said that tho native servants in

of strong will determined on her arrival
in Honolulu that her servants should
