WHY THE TAY BRIDGE FELL. Sir Thomas Bouch, the eminent en- gineer, was one of the most corteous «iKl eoiisideralo of men; and to these jtraili in his character was dislmclly j traceable the awful tragody that ter- riiiiialed alike li is professional career and •his life. He had to ^.'rapplo wilh vital prob- jlein.s connecleil with the stability of ttio (first 'lay Hridge, and at the same lime keep in order an army of snlxji'dinates, 'e<AUo of whom were efliciont and hon- ^.st, and .some of wliom were not. The lw<i duties clashe<l. and neither was (P<irormed properly. Moreover, it bo- tanic known about llie w<irks that .'iir .Thomas was loo good-naturwl to dis- JViiss an incompetent man, wliilo lii« •native iwlilcness .shrank from adminis- tering reproof even. As a consc<|uence the bridge was bad- ly constructed as well as badly desiyn- • d, and in about a year and a half after Jtxing Orst opened for traflic it collapsed while a North Britisti mail traia was trn*'«ltirg over it. Rptween eighty and ninety persons lost their hves, and wilh the passing; of the first shock of horror came the niiporlionrnent ol tlic blame. Tlic un- h;;ppy engineer had to bear the chief liirdm of this, and it proved too heavy f< r him. Williin four nioiitlis of the ad- verse verdict of Ihc Hoard of Trade in- quiry he was dead â€" of a bivjken tiearl. One would imagine that a shopwalker Ciiuld hardly be too polite. But he can; and tticre is one Uxilring for a job nt iliis present moment wlio knows it to Ills exist. To this last pla-:e came a lady customer, YOUNG AND PRETTY. She bought freely, too, of furs, velvets, and other easily negotiable goods. Again and again she came, always with a bow and a .smile to the oblig- mg sh-opwalkrr. .\nd he, on his pari, nol conU^nt with Triercly showing her to the department she wished to pat- ivnize, piloted her all over the estab- lishment. Nor were his suspicions awakened even wlwn she showe an unfeminino curiosity regarding txilts and bars, nn.l tlic various ways of Ingress and egress l<- and from the premises. Only when, later on. a gang of burglars looted llie lilace <if some SdO,^^) worth of g'Xids. Sid he realize how their feminine con- federate had profiled by his poUtenes.s. .Similarly, tho unlucky sufferer in >\ recent notorious jewel robbery in Cler- kenwell. owed his inisforlime to a tike Irail In his character.

'Hie Hus.'iian peasant has a saying which invariably puzzles llie foreigner: 'Too p^ilile. and die like Rekovitch. ' The proverb refers to one of the most tragic episodes in .MUSCOVITE HIisTORY. Ill the early Spring of 1717 Prince Rekovilch Cheraski led an armed exp<> Ui.lion consisting of 4.(100 infantry and j ' (XX) cavalry into the then aln;osl uii- I known interior of the South-(^'ntral ; Asia.
