Sir Thapias Bouch,*4Re- eminent en- f gineer, was one ofthe most cortcous 'and considerale of men; and to these 'traits in his character was distinctly. jtraceable the awful tragedy that ter- mainated alike his professional career and vhis life. He had to grapple with vital prob- }lems connected with the stability of the, era Tay Bridge, and at the same time keep in order an army of subordinates, some of whem were efficient' and hon- @si, and some of-svhom were not. The itwo duties clashéd,; and neither was @crformed properly. Moreover, it be- 'came known gbout the works that Sir 'Thomas was too good-natured to dis- miss an' incompetent man, while his mative polileness shrank from adminis- tering reproof ev late. 'jtravelling over it. -Japportionment of the blame. The un- hoppy engineer had to bear the chief) oe | dition consisting of 4,000 'infantry and An old app'e- ee itt bearing his wife with: bases _-- .

Within four months of the ad- versé verdict of the Board of Trade in- guiry he was dead--of a broken heart, One would imagine that.a shopwalker could hardly be too polile." But he can; and there is one looking" fer a job at this present moment who knows it to his cost. To this last place came & jady customer, ' YOUNG AND PRETTY. She bought freely, too, of furs, velyets, and other easily negotiable goods. Again and Again she came, always with:a bow-and a smile to the oblig- ing shopwalker, And he, on his part, not content with mérely showing her rto athe department she 'wished to pat- renize, piloted her.aH over the estab- lishment. Nor were, his. "suspicions. awakened even when she showe an unféminine curiosity regarding bolts and bars, and the various 'ways 'ef. ingress and egre*| te and from, the premises.' Only when, later on,.a gang of burglars jooted the place.of some $60,000 worth of goods, Gid he realize how their feminine con- federale_ had 'profited by his politeness. Simifarly,~ the unlucky sufferer in a recent. notorious jewel robbery in Cler- kenwell, owed his. misfortune to a like trait in his character. The conspira- ters, who 'afterwards "murderously as- sduited and robbed him, sent a decoy, it will be remembered, to prelend to purchase a gold watch and diamond pendant out of business hours, Natural courtesy, rather than mercan- lie zeal, -compelled attention to: the lausible ruffian, and with disastrous resulls to the accommodating trader. The Russian peasant has a saying which invariably puzzles the foreigner: "Too polile, and die like Bekovitch." The proverb refers to one of the most tragic episodes in _MUSCOVITE HISTORY. In the :.early Spring of-1717. Prince 'TRekovitch Cheraski led an armed expe- *2:000 cavalry into the then almost un- known interior of the South-Central Asia. His ostensible object wascio open up commercial relations with the Khans of Khiva and of Bokhara.
