The Arid H'mL
We mui-t not lose sight of the fact
that strips of highly organized and in
telligent country lifo will be limited to
the immediate vicinity of the water
courses und will always be separated
by broad areas of irreclaimable lamb',
useful at best for pasturage, and in
some regions an absolute desert. There
will always be a wild phase to fur
western life. Our reulm of adventure
aud hardihood of the cowboy, with his
spurs and sombrero, of tho big freight
wagon, with its six or eight mules,
guided by a single jerk rein ; of hunt
iug expeditious for deer, elk and moun
tain sheep; of the prospector, with his
led horse, loaded with grub stake,
blankets, pick and run; of the pack
train winding up tho mountain gorge;
of camps beneath the stars ou lonely
pluius, or ou sage brush wastes, where
the dismal howl of the coyote breaks
the silence of the night this realm of
romance, of com age uud of a rndo phys
icul life is not going to disappear.
The sedentary dweller iu the rich and
populous irrigated valleys will always
be brought into close contact with the
bold rider, tho daring hunter and the
venturesome seeker for gold and silver.
Let 1110 repeat, in conclusion, the com
parison I have already used. The single
furrow run across a 80 acre field repre
sent all the area that can ever, by the
lurgest enterprise and the most liberul
expenditure, be reclaimed for cultiva
tion in the arid region, aud the remain
der of the field represents the area that
will always remain in its present condi
tion of pustoral pluius, nionutaius uud
deserts. E. V. Suialley in Forum.
Tba Famous Bridge ta Ita,
Steel is tho bridge maferial of tbe
future. W hethcr it takes ou the grace
ful curves of the suspended cable or tho
airy balance of tho cautalever or the
eobweb construction of our Pecos and
Kinzua it will have Us own beauty.
Tho science of bridgo building clearly
poiuta the way to the art of bridge
building, which is -simply truth. We
are rapidly learning to accept new ideas
or the strength of materials. We admir
ed the Roman arch because it showed
mass and strength in a strong material.
We are beginning to grasp the idea of
lightness and strength combined in tbe
steel cantalevor.
The most famous bridge is still on
paper. If tho Hudson is spanned by a
six track railroad bridge, we may have
a splendid cautalever of 400 feet longer
span than the Forth bridge aud quite
as high above tbo water. It is possible
that the bridge may bo another suspen
sion. Whatever form it ultimately as
sume it will be tho famou bridge of
the world. Chautauqnan.

Tho Duke of Queensbury laid a sin
golar wager with Sir Charles Banbury
about tbo end of the last century. The
former was to produce a mau who was
to walk fro. 11 his grace a house iu Pic
cadilly, Loudon, to the ten mile atone
beyond Hounslow in the space of three
hours, advancing four steps and at ev
ery fourth step retiring one step back
ward Tho bet waa for 1,000. Most
probably tho Duke of Queensbury had
borrowed the hint from a circuuistnnco
recorded in tbe history of Cutherino
Medici. This celebrated and beautiful
queen made a vow that if an enterprise
of consequence iu which sho was en
gaged should terminate successfully she
would send a pilgrim to Jerusalem,
traveling ou foot iu the maimer do
scribed. Having succeeded iu her first
point it remained to discover a mau
with vigor and patiouco enough to un
dertake the journey. A citizen of er
borria, Picardy, presented himself and
promised most scrupulously to accom
plish the vow. He fulfilled his engage
lucutwith great precision, of which the
queen was well assured by those whom
she bad appointed to travel by bis aldo
and watch bia motions.

Ho had been playing with Lord Loino.
Their stakes had been very high, aud
luck had gouo steadily against him. Lx

from tho card tublu, and seizing a large
punch bowl said: 'For once I'll have a
bet when I've got a chanco of winning!
Odd or eveu for 15,000 guineas?"
"Odd," replied the peer calmly. The
bowl was dashed against the wall, and
on the pieces being counted there proved
to be an odd ona
The rash gambler paid his 13,000
guineas; but, if tradition be correct, it
waa only by Bulling tbe last of bis es
tates that he was cuabled to do so.
Here is a record of another wager: A
member of parliament bet a gentleman
well known on the turf that a man
should go from London to Edinburgh in
uuy mode, ho choso whilo another made
a million of dots with a pen and ink
upon writing paper.
Eating and driuking havo at all times
been the subject of beta, and we hoar of
a courier, by nauie Arlstocratio Tom of
the Old Lion, Loudou, for the trifling
bet of a shilling undertook to drink
three gills of lump oil of tbe most ran
old and nauseous quality that could be
procured, which he performed with as
much gusto and relish as if it had beeu
tho most delicious cordial. The money
he hud won was immediately converted
