in the good old times 500 years ago there were no seats in Parisian schools, except stools for the teachers. The pupils sat on bundles of straw which they brought along. A Swiss engineer has recenUy used vucceesfully a suspeasion bridge foi making fills ia ravines where great depth would make trestle work quite expensive. He strings two single wires to support crossties and rails, and upon them backs tbe train, ao that the bridge only gets tbe weight of

Soot land, a large stone, weighing six tons, had been drilled for blasting, when the thought struck the fore nisi that the severe frost might be utilized. Water was pored Into each of the holes and it was found after a couple of days that the block of granite had broken into pieces. St. Louis boasts of a man who ha* no first name. As driver of a Junk wagon, he was mlxeij up in a street accident not long ago, and a policeman turning to him 'a*id: “What is your name?" ••Woff,” said the driver. "What is your first name.” asked the policeman. "I haven't aq^.” said Wolf. "Now stop your Joking.” exclaimed the policeman, “and give me your full name.” "I am not fooling.” replied Wolf. . “I never had a first -name; I can see no use for one and never wanted one.” • Among the picturesque features of life Id the Moqul villages are tbe town criers, who take the place of the dally newspapers In civilized comjnunities. There are two of these functionaries, one representing the “hoctilities” and the other "friendlies." the opposing political parties in the Tussyan villages.
