The I i?t of contributor* was written out on a table for posterity, ami preserved in the Bridge ('Impel. This bridge, which was to last for aix hundred and tifty years, took as long to build as King Solomon's Temple, namely, three and thirty years. Before it was finished the architect lay in his grave. When it was completed the bridge was u ' O'iti feet loug and forty feet' wide- Stow hays thirty feet; it stood sixty im ? >? . < high water; it contained a drawbridge and ninety pointed arches, with oiassivo piers vuiying from twenty-live to thirtyfour feet in solidity, raised upon strong elm piles covered with thick planks. Tlio bridge was curiously irregular; there was no mi i form it y in the hreadth of the arches; they varied from ten feet to thirty two feet. Over the tenth and longest pier was erected a chapel ?!???1 i?-al I to the younged. saint in the calendar, S(. Thomas of Canterbury. Tin1 ma-lion of a chapel on a bridge was by no moans uncommon. Kverybody, lor instance, who Itas Ik'cmi in tin- south of France remembers I ho chapel on the broke i bridge at Avignon.

Tlic citizens have always regarded Loudon bridge with peculiar pride and ullection. There was no other bridge like it in the whole country, nor any which could compare with it for .strength or to! size.

She was a very wealthy, lame aid lady who lived in lonely grandeur in 11 country residence ? ailed Itobin Wood, about a mile from the town, with no one but servants about her. It was said that she had a son for whom she had planned a grout earner, but that she had disowned him.

One day two events stirred the drowsy atmosphere of Kavoy. .ua.iu?.AUi".u^, gradeis were at work on the mountainride about a third of a mile from the town.

' The fact that quarterly bulletins were required by law, whether the station had < valuable matter on hand or not, coupled J with the fact that in many instances men 1 wholly new to the business had to write them, tended at first to distribute more or less matter of questionable value. As the bulletins have general circulation among the class for which they were in' tended only in the State in which the}' were issued, many States necessarily sent ?<>mc rnmmlation^ on the same top ic8, which, to nil practical purposes, were duplicate? of each other. Bulletins, too, had to bo written in popular style, in order that they might he understood by men whose education, in too many instances had been limited to the winter district school. If it be also remembered that these ne.vly formed stations have been organized scarcely three years and have not been in working order for that length of time; that they are goiug through the same trials as the older stations have had , that they have to break down the prejudices of many farmers, as the older stations have largely done; and that they were popularly expected to sho.\ in a few months results equal to those which even the German experiment stations have conquered only after years of strict application with the aid of the host of the scientists of that scientific nation?it cannot be wondered at that these new born stations have in several instances fallen short of what was expected of them.?Popular ic tenet Monthly. > A New Guinea Mail ('.lienor.
