One day it was whispered in our camp before Petersburg that Sergeant Jack's wife had died. Sergeant Jack was reserved and rather morose, and none of us knew whether he had a wife or not

Recently the New York Journal printed the nsult of observations and experij merits made by Dr. Coulan, in which ha ' proved that sugared lemonade, with plenty of sweet, by the wsy. had been j more Invigorating and benefleial than ! anything he had used on long road runs.

; This rather upsets the theories heretofore advocated concerning the kind of beverage to use on a long road ride. One thing is absolutely certain, and that Is that the less alcohol any cyclist takes into his system the better he will be for it. At the end of a long ride, after rest and when the heart action has resumed its normal condition, a mug of old ale is very refreshing and tones up the system. No other alcoholic drink is of much benefit to a weary rider. Cold ale while one is riding, however, is not the tiling

for any cyclist to use.

Ono of thr most novel of the many Fchemes to obtain a share of the wealth nf the Klondyke region has been developed by a syndicate of lour wealthy New York business men, who are planning to establish trading yosts and stores in the mining camps and also to purchase all promising claims on the market. They will transport their men and supplies to the gold fields on bicycles specially

designed for the purpose.

The Klondyke bicycle is specially designed to carry freight, and is in reality a four-wheeled vehicle and a bicycle combined. It is built very strong and weighs ahput fifty pounds. The tires are of solid rubber one and one-half inches In diameter. The frame is the ordinary diamond of steel tubing, built, however,

Some of the young women who have tried to learn the art of mastering this peculiar sort of cycling have had some very undignified falls, for the bicycle shell, like all marine contrivances, is very apt to tin over If sufflcl3nt impetus from ono side or the other is given. J his was illustrated not many days ago, when a party of six demoiselles, the daughters of well to do citizens, started out on the Seine for a trial trip. These particular six young women had never ridden together b‘*fcre, even in land, and so they were not familiar with the wheel-

"During the last year or so,” says an English cycling paper, ‘'the German authorities, and more especially the Bavarian, have given great attention to army cycling.

Things were thus when it came our turn to go into the rifle pits on the line nearest the Confederates. We had to march down from camp by covered ways and crawl into the pits like so many serpents. Death was there waiting for any man who but showed his head above a pit. Not a Anger could he held up without a dozen bullets being fired at it. On this night it was bright moonlight—so bright that one could see every leaf and blade of grass and every insect moving about. The great guns were silent after a hot day’s work, but there was a spiteful and murderous Are of musketry along the rifle pits. The bullets whizzed above our heads in a vengeful way and the officers kept crying, “Ivook out, men —-keep down!” as we neared the pits. Men dropped off here and there until only six of us were left, and Sergeant Jack had charge of placing us. The men in the pits had to come out first, and as soon as they go! the signal they

began the movement.

We were watching them as they i wormed themselves along the ground, when Sergeant Jack suddenly uttered a groan. It was not a groan of pain, but of anguish—sucli a sound as a strong man might make when he felt j his heart breaking over his grief. All I of us turned to look at him, and as we did so he stepped out from under shelter into the opening and the moonlight, [ and was face to face with death.

“Down, sergeant—come liack—look out!” we shouted at him. but he drew himself up and walked straight toward the Confederate lines. His appearance amazed the sharpshooters for half a minute. So bright was the moonlight that they could look right into his eyes. It was not the act of a brave man; none of them would put it down to bravado. He was not a deserter seeking admission to their lines. We shouted tc them not to shoot, that our sergeant had lost his mind, and those directly in front heard us and withheld their fire. Those on the flanks, however, could not cateh our words, and probably believed that some hostile movement was contemplated; a score of muskets blazed away at the target in the moonlight. We saw Sergeant Jack halt, totter, throw up his hands and sink down, and we knew that he was dead, had courted death because there was nothing in life for him. We crept out and rescued his body for a soldier’s burial. More than a dozen bullets had strurk him, and on his face was a look of relief—a look which came there in his dying moment as he realized that death would end all.—Detroit Free

It was a lofty room, but not very large, being perhaps forty feet long and of a corresponding width. The Queen was seated on a very low .teal at the end of the apartment opposite the door; behind her the ladies-ln-watting were arranged in a semi-circle, some of the Princesses being on the left, an I (he lords-in-waiting and Duke of York on her right hand.

Melbourne last April they traveled first lo Auckland and to the King's village, two hundred miles away, near Rotorua. A topic of conversation among their friends was the rumored issuance of a royal proclamation approving an nli'ance between the princess and some Caucasian of her choice. The Macfarlanos determined to visit the sulphurous mud geysers near King Paul’s abode, and incidentally to learn all they could about Princ vs Mary's matrimonial ambitions. This is the way Mrs. Macfarlane described their reception:— “The King was very kind to us. He assigned to our use a little wicker house, containing three rooms, and six or seven servants, who were always outside, ready to wait upon us when required. Our meals were prepared elsewhere and brought to our little residence. The day after our arrival King Paul, attended by a number of Maori chiefs, escorted us in an excursion to the mud geysers. The King knows enough English to make himself understood, and he was most courtly, in an aboriginal way. He caused some ground maize to be mixed in water, shaped into cakes and put in a kettle, which he lowered into the bubbling geyser. In a few minutes he pulled it out again and the cakes were thoroughly baked. His gratification at our astonishment—which was more simulated than real—was delightful. It led him, for the first time, to speak of his daughter. “ •Tono-maroami not much come here,’ he said, ‘because sulphur too much had smell. • Naturally, I expressed a desire to sec the Princess, and soon after our return she called upon us. Mr. Maclarlane sauntered off a few minutes afterward to watch some Maori boys cleaning wild boars' tusks, and the Princess and I were left alone. My woman's curiosity was aroused to the keenest tension, but I could not bring myself to speak first of her affairs of the heart. She saved me that trouble, after the exchange of a few commonplaces. "A long cloak enveloped the Princess from the neck to the sandaled feet. It was made of lamb's wool, loosely relied and sewed vertically like widely ribbed corduroy. Feathers of various calors were sewed indiscriminately over this garment. The Princess

When my father referred to the fact that his people objected to my marrying a white man I answered that he was fooling himself and that he had no people. He imprisoned me, but when I declared that I would appeal to the colonial authcrlties I was released, and there have been no further objections. "The next thing, is to find the white husband. I realize that the man l may select will not marry me for love, but for money. I only want to be sure that he is not a criminal, who does not dare to appear in Europe or Americi, and that he is brave enough to fight any Maori chief who tries to make talk about the match.

She had listened to many priests and preachers, she said, and had several times heard the Church of England service. Having read so many books by English authors, she considered herself well informed as to the Christian religion, but such matters she regarded with indifference She cared nothing about the religious aspects of matrimony, whether the ceremony were performed by a bishop or before the hideous face of the god Ktia-manwa. She wanted the knot tied in su. it manner, however, that her husband might not easily escape.” Whether Princess Mary has secured a matrimonial partner during the interval which has elapse., since their departure from New Zealand neither Mr. nor Mrs. Macfarlane could conjecture.
