“Thou .hull not le-nr falw ■KBin.t thy nctKltbot."

A Great Bride*. The last at no haa been laid In tfcr eonatruetlon of a atone bridge which U deatlm-U to take rank as one of the greatest of H* kind In the world. The bridge U o«er the Connecticut river at Hartford. With Its approach ea It took nearly three yeara to build and cost about $3,003,000. It I* com posed of nine spans haring maximum dimensions of a reach of 119 feet and a clear height of arch of 45 feet, and'' Is 5! feet wide and has a total length of 1.193.6 feet. The famous London bridge, which has hitherto ranked first among stone bridges. Is but 65 feet wide. 1.005 feet long and has five arches, with a longest span of 152 feet and a maximum rise of arch of 37.5 feet. The Connecticut bridge, says Cassler’s Magazine, la not remarkable for Its length of span, for there are several stone bridges with a span of more than 300 feet, but these are generally narrow one-span •tructures. as. for Instance, the Cabin John Creek bridge, carrying the Washington aqueduct, which has a span of 320 feet and a width of but 20 feet. Neither Is it the longest bridge, for there Is the Oongleton viaduct, lu England, which has 41 arches and Is 2.870 feel long and 25 feet wide. Although the Hartford bridge Is one of the widest bridgea. It Is not any one feature that stamps K great, but a summary of size of arch, of length and breadth, combined with Its perfection of strueiare and symmetry of outline, that makes plain the claim of •uperlorlty.

In view of all that there has been said about the fall In the death rate It seems strange to realize that we are not living so long as our grandfathers and grandmothers did. More babies Uve to grow up nowadsys than formerly. but people In later life die younger. Once arrive^ at adult age the average man or woman has few years of survival to expect. This seems on the face of It so surprising a statement that in order to be accepted It should, be backed up by data authentic and indisputable, eaya Health Culture. Such data are furnished by the figures of the Insurance companies (wfilch all agree on the point), but It Is easier to refer to the government census reports, which tell the tale In simple and convincing fashion. Even during the last 15 years the death rate among all persons over 55 yeara of age of both sexes has risen very considerably.

Higher education for women has been Justified In the eyes of the Inhabitants of one New England town. Some college girls at home for a vacation entered a spelling-bee. and two of them spclli-d down their mates and all the "natives." This will set al rest In one community the suspicion that college students arc deficient in the rudl-

NOT K J CH TRIMMING

Are Tucksd or Pleated According to the Liking cf the Wesrer—fltoirt Women Should Avoid Longitudinal Floats. Charming blouses are being made ila season entirely of lucked batiste, ■e only trimming being the cheml>tie. or perhaps only tho collar of tc* or •■mLroidery. The amission of trimming from the body of the blouse is quite s relief after such a tremendous overdoing of the heavily trimmed lingerie blouses to which we have been subjected. As to whether those blouses shall be tucked or pleated depends largely upon the size of the wearer. Tbe

Batista and Lacs Blouas. very slender woman looks very well In fairly broad pleats, and the soft batiste It always specially graceful when pleated. Tbe stout woman, however, will find that even In such soft material when the lines are longitudinal pleats. In a blouse at least, they are decidedly menacing to a trim effect Fine tucks, on the contrary, are becoming to all alike, and. moreover, the tucked blouse will usually stand laundering better than the pleated one. When the blouse Is to be made of silk this of course does not have to be taken Into consideration. and so silk blouses are being made up with these longitudinal pleats by way of obtaining a alight variation from the usual tnb blouse. The blouse shown is made in a very clever fashion to give tbe suggestion of the full shoulder drapery now so fashionable, and also so as to present somewhat the appearance of^ Jumper or surplice design. The material Is laid In fonr pleats on each aide, the outermost pleat coming so well over the shoulder that It looks almost like a cape. A round yoke la set In between these two groups of pleats. Beneath the yoke the material Is also pleated.

Remedy for Bplit Hair.

Singeing la a remedy for spUt or broken hair, and specialists and hairdressers ‘ Us use. The care of tbe hair la. of course, a very Important subject, and If there is any serious trouble, such as falling ont and loss of hair. It la always wise to go to some one of the hair specialists and have one or two treatments and use the right kind ot tonic, but for the ordinary care of the hair and the shampoo tbe above-mentioned rules win be
