In response to the inquiries of a correspondent, the Niagara Falls Gazette gives the following interesting sketch of the history of the great suspension bridges: In 1848 Charles Ellet, a brilliant rather than a professional engineer, built the first suspension bridge over the Niagara, on the site of the present railroad bridge. The bridge was only for carriages and foot-passengers. The towers were of wood, and the roadway was only about six feet in width, just wide enough for one team. Mr. Ellet in the beginning had offered a reward of $5 to the first person who should get a string over the river. The next windy day a large number of boys assembled on the bank with kites, and before night one of them, a former townsman, Homan J. Walsh, then a boy of 13 years of age, landed his kite on the Canadian side and received the promised reward. By means of this string larger cords, Bread Making in Spain. The bread in the South of Spain is delicious; it is white as snow, close as cake, and yet very light; the flour is most admirable, for the wheat is good and pure, and the bread well kneaded. The way they make this bread is as follows: From large, long panniers filled with wheat they take out a handful at a time, sorting it most carefully and expeditiously, and throwing every imperfect grain into another basket. This done, the wheat is ground between two circular stones, as it was ground in Egypt 2,000 years ago, the requisite rotary motion being given by a blindfolded mule, which paces around and around with untiring patience, a bell being attached to his neck, which, as long as he is in movement, tinkles on; and when it stops he is urged on to his duty by the about of "arra mula" from some one within hearing. When ground, the wheat is sifted through three sieves, the last of these being so fine that only the pure flour can pass through it; this is of a pure apricot color. The bread is made in the evening. It is mixed with sufficient water, with a little salt in it, to make into dough. A very small quantity of leaven or yeast in one batch of household bread, as in Spain, would last a week for the six or eight donkey loads of bread they send every day from their oven. The dough made, it is put into sacks and carried on donkeys' backs to the oven in the center of the village, to bake it immediately after kneading. On arriving there the dough is divided into portions weighing about three pounds each. Two long, narrow, wooden tables on treatles are then placed down the room, and a curious sight may be seen. About twenty men, bakers, come in and range themselves on one side of the table. A lump of dough is handed to the nearest, which he begins kneading and knocking about with all his might for about three or four minutes, and then passes it on to his neighbor, who does the same, and so on successively until all have kneaded it, when it becomes soft as new putty and ready for the oven. Of course, as soon as the first baker has handed the lump to his neighbor, another lump is given to him, and so on until the whole quantity of dough is kneaded by them all. The bakers' wives and daughters shape the loaves for the oven, and some of them are very small. They are baked immediately. Moisture in the House.

Mr. Ellet in the beginning had offered a reward of $5 to the first person who should get a string over the river. The next windy day a large number of boys assembled on the bank with kites, and before night one of them, a former townsman, Homan J. Walsh, then a boy of 13 years of age, landed his kite on the Canadian side and received the promised reward. By means of this string larger cords, then ropes, and then iron cables, small at first, but increasing in size, were drawn across, until the large cables were thus stretched. This structure served as a most excellent auxiliary in the construction of the present bridge. This was built by America's great engineer, John B. Roebling, and has always been considered one of the greatest of his works. It was commenced in 1852, and the first locomotive crossed it in 1854. The iron basket now hanging under the railroad track near the American end of the bridge was first used by Mr. Ellet, and in it the first person who ever crossed the chasm alive, and of his own will, was crossed over. There is an old Indian tradition that a resisting chief was once carried to the opposite side by a large bald-headed eagle who swooped down on the great warrior as he lay in ambush on the ground and bore him over. Ladies have also crossed in this basket. The suspension bridge by Brock's monument was built in 1856 by T. E. Serret. The ice jam in 1866 tore the guys from the rocks to which they were fastened, and before they were replaced a terrific gale broke the railway, severed the suspenders, and left the structure dangling in the air. The new suspension bridge, as it is called, was built in 1868, the cables being carried over in the winter on the ice-bridge. Its length is over 1,200 feet or a full quarter of a mile from outside to outside of the towers, and it is the longest suspension bridge in the world. A PUBLIC-SPIRITED MAN. Observing a policeman come out of a saloon, and wipe his mouth on the back of his thumb, a well-dressed guillotian said to Gilhooly. "It's an infernal shame that the city of Galveston does not provide its police with new uniforms. Shabby-looking policemen do more to keep Galveston back than anything else." "I reckon you are a tailor, and want the contract to furnish the uniforms," remarked Gilhooly. "No, air, I am not actuated by selfish motives. I am a photographer, and as soon as a policeman gets a new uniform he has his picture taken in five different towers were of wood, and the roadway was only about six feet in width, just wide enough for one team.

In all the dwelling rooms of a house, says a writer, winter brings increased use with less ventilation. Consequencely, little defects of cleanliness that quite take care of themselves in the summer may cause much trouble in winter. Typhoid fever is more of a winter than a summer disease. Most of the epidemics affecting the skin are more apt to prevail in the winter or early spring. Their relationship to confined dwellings and to the aggregations both of persons and things during the cold months is no longer doubted. Whether filth will originate this or that disease will long be a question of doubtful disputation; but that filth is the nestling place of disease and chiefly gives it extension and virulence is no longer doubted. Some of our physicians are now turaining close attention to questions of winter salinity. It is claimed that much of the value of Florida in the winter is owing to a climate which permits one to be much in open houses. To those at all disposed either to pulmonary or bronchial aliments our modes of heating and of winter ventilation are very embarrassing. Carbonic acid mingles too much with the other gases given out from coal, and produces irritation of the breathing apparatus. The dry heat parches the skin, and so embarrasses the functions of interior organs. The value of the bath is as great in winter as in summer. Indeed, in city life it seems almost indispensable as a means of overcoming the undue dryness and restoring the proper temperature through the skin. In the last few years there has been much discussion as to the need of moisture, as provided in the furnace or on stoves. The only certain way is to test the amount of actual moisture in the room atmosphere. It is hardly possible to provide so much moisture in this way as to get those effects which we get by summer from excessive moisture in the atmosphere. Often stoves are surmounted with urins so bright that the water is searched at all evaporated by the heat. We are satisfied after a careful looking over the evidence, that we should generally in winter have some artificial plan for adding moisture to the house atmosphere. The great problem of how to have warm and moist air, and get pure air where persons are living closely still has many unfulfilled conditions. He who is false to present duty breaks a thread in the loom, and will see the defect when she weaving of a lifetime is unrolled. STANDARD ADVICE. Would you never be told a lie, do not knocking about with an insignificant for about three or four minutes, and then passes it on to his neighbor who does the same, and so on successively until all have knotted it, when it becomes soft as new putty and ready for the oven. Of course, as soon as the first baker has handed up lump to his neighbor another lump is given to him, and so on until the whole quantity of dough is kneaded by them all. The bakers' wives and daughters shape the leaves for the oven, and some of them are very small. They are baked immediately. Moisture In the House.

Old Moss and another old darky were discussing matters and things, when Jim Webster happened to pass. “Dar am about forty regular chickenstealers in Galveston, including Jim Webster,” remarked the old man. Jim heard the remark, so he came right up to Moss and threatened to eliminate him if he didn’t take it back. “Den dar am forty regular chickenstealers in Galveston, not includin’ Jim Webster. Is yer satisfied now?” Jim said, very much affected: “Uncle Mose, when a man ‘pologizes, he jeas disarms me right dar. Shake, ole man. 'Tain’t often nowadays dat anybody flatters me as you has just done."—Galveston News. A POLITICAL WAY OF PUTTING IT. Nellie—“So I hear you are to marry an M. P. shortly, May?” “Yes. I have always been mad on politics, you know, and the other day Henry having suggested my immediate annexation (allowing me Home Enclo, of course), we found we could both agree on a treaty, which I’m happy to say the governor has ratified.”—Fun. STANDARD ADVICE. Would you never be told a lie, do not ask a personal question. Would you retain the love of a friend, do not be selfishly expecting. Would you respect yourself, keep your heart and body clean. Would you enjoy quiet content, do away with airs and pretense. Would you sleep and have a good appetite, attend to your business. Would you have good health, go out in the sunshine. Sickness is worse than freckles. Would you have others to respect our opinions, hold and never disown yourself. An old tin kettle may not point a moral, but we have frequently known it to adorn a tail. A young man, who knows says tha from court to caught is but a short step. Little Amy, chidden for mischief, protested that Susan (the servant) had persuaded her. Said papa, “Tell me exactly what Susan said.” “She said, 'You push that stand, miss, if you dare.'” “Them’s my very worst,’ interjected Susan. “And,” pursued the little culprit, “I dared, so I pushed.” Drying potatoes is an industry in Rochester, N. Y. A man there is largely engaged in the business of supplying the north-western army, and his practice is to first slice the potatoes, then put them in a steam box three or four minutes to keep the starch in, and then subject them to drying. If not placed in the steam box the starch would come out. When used, they are soaked, and are then like fresh potatoes. Curious Uses and Works of Ants. The ant belongs to a family of insects such as wasps, bees, hornets, but is the superior of them all, as are the elephant, the horse, and the dog, in other lines of animal life. Ants are constructed with the "back" bone in front, and the heart and other internal organs on the opposite side are put together upside down, as we might think. Their mouth is for biting and swallowing food only, not for breathing. Their bite is so determined and lasting that they are used in some countries for confining the edges of wounds and cuts. Ants' heads are presented to the cut surface, which they grasp with their nippers, when their bodies are cut off, leaving a whole row of them to hold the flesh. They are cheaper than sticking plaster in some countries. They sometimes excavate tunnels under rivers of considerable depth and width, and use the tunnels for transporting supplies. They dig wells twenty feet deep and a foot in diameter for drinking water. The harvesting ants plant seeds on farms, which they cultivate with great skill and neatness, keeping every weed down and harvesting the grain, curing and storing it safely in weather-proof cavities in the soil. They also organize into divisions with commanders, each individual doing certain kind of work. Some ants are smart enough for engineers, while others only know enough to do as they are told. They can count and make correct estimates of the magnitude of an undertaking, as proved by observers. Eight chrysalides (often called the eggs of ants) were placed in a path where ants travel. A single individual found them and undertook to remove them to their home. Several were carried by the single ant patiently enough, out when twenty chrysalides were placed in his hip, another ant was found enclosed in the work. The pile was inspected at intervals till eighty ants were found in the undertaking, showing that tracers were detailed according to the demands of the case. Ants battles sometimes last many days, in one case seven weeks, the victors finally taking the stores and removing them to their own houses. Their wars are quite as justifiable as those of men, when the object—pillage—is the same. They have the power, too, of knowing members of their own communities even after six months' absence. Strangers are always driven off or killed. They are very helpful to each other, and notice of assessment.

V.E. HOWARD, June 30, 1881. The Expansive Power of Water. It is a well known, but not the less remarkable, fact that if the tip of an exceedingly small tube be dipped into water, the water will rise spontaneously in the tube throughout its entire length. This may be shown in a variety of ways; for instance, when a piece of sponge, or sugar, or cotton is just allowed to touch water, these substances, being composed of numberless little tubes, draw up the water, and the whole becomes wet. It is said to suck up or imbibe the moisture. We see the same wonderful action going on in nature in the rising of the sap through the small tubes or pores of the wood, whereby the leaves and upper portions of the plant derive nourishment from the ground. This strange action is called "capillary," from the resemblance the minute tubes bear to a hair, the Latin of which capillus. It is, moreover, singular at the absorption of the water taken with great force. If a dry sponge is inclosed tightly in a vessel, it will expand when wetted with sufficient force to it尽水之身. Wood which is a more unyielding material, with tremendous force when wetted, and advantage has been seen of this fact in splitting blocks of quartz. This process is largely adopted at Daltmoor. After a mass of granite has been rent from the mountain by blasting, it is measured in every direction to see how to divide it into smaller blocks. These are traced out by straight lines with surface, and a series of holes are fitted at short intervals along this line. Wetness of dry wood are then tightly driven into the holes and wetted, and the combined action of the swelling wood spits the block in the direction required, and without any destructive violence. The same process is then carried out upon the other faces, and the roughly-shaped rock finished with the hammer and chisel. On READING AND FILING THAT The dorsal Reise, Guardian of the state of Louis Keller, an incompetent person for an order of sale of certain real estate belongings said Louis Keller, for use and purpose set forth, it is hereby ordered, that the next sale of said ward and all persons interested in said estate appear before this Court on Monday, the 6th day of July, 1881, at 10 o'clock a.m. at the west room of this Court at the Court House in the city of Los Angeles, then and there to show cause why order should not be granted for the sale of such estate. And it is further ordered that a copy of this order be published at least once a week for three successive weeks before said day of hearing in the Sanheim GAZETTE, a newspaper published and printed in said county of Los Angeles.
