TOLIi BY A BICYCLE

I am a bicycle. Kot such as, swept along by the full tide* •of power, the oonqucror lends to crimson glory and undying faints but a plain, ordi liary—net, not an "ordinary," but a safety —bicycle for hire.

True, I am In a good citato of repair and am as comfortable aa my keepers oan snake me, but I am not dooked in ribbons and nurtured In commodious quarters and ridden only by the aristocracy over smooth pavements and for short distances.

I never even had such luck when I first came from the factory. I thought I was going to fall into that good fortune, but man took me on trial—that is to say, he took roe on the installment plan and tried to pay for me, but couldn't, and forced to return moat the end of a month, and then I was only good enough to go among the hirelings, and there I have staid over since. Goodness me, how long it seems since I got the. first wrench to my steel ribs and had my frame skinned against a tree box!

I was born a combination wheel—that is, you can take out my spinal column, and then I can be ridden by a lady not in bloomers, and thank my'stars no bloomers have ever yet enveloped me in their folds.

That time tho man had mo on trial, "think, was my most uncomfortable experi ence, for he was green at the business, and so was I, and tho result was that both of ns got bumps innumerable, and, though ho came out of It with a twisted knee, and a sprained ankle, and a burked nose, and a lame arm, and a hurt back, and a black eye, with a few other incidental casual! ties, I was nothing to brag of myself. That's why when ho had to give mo up they put me on tho hireling list.

But I was experienced, and that was something. A bicycle has a good deal to learn when St first leaves the factory.

People who came to hire wheels looked a little shy at mo as I stood quietly in my rack and then passed me by, but not for long. My keepers put a now coat of en arnel on me and otherwise put me in shape, and thereafter I beeamo quite popular. Riders who bad me out for a spin when thoy returned would say they didn't know why it was, but I seemed to be more in telllgont than other wheels they had tried and I was not half as liable to tnako a sudden swerve and bang into a wagon In tho street or into a gatepost or over a bank or to do any of the 40 dozen other things a bicycle is likely to do when tho rider is least expecting it.

Of course I knew this myself and wa* oonstantly trying to please, just as any other public servant is, for hadn't I had enough of bang and batter with that installment plan party? I guess yes, and I am sure a properly regulated bicycle knows Whcn»it has had enough.

Somotlmes, though, I couldn't help be lng a little frisky. Once I remember an nthletlo sort of a fellow took me out, and for six mortal hours he pedaled me all over every road in tho suburbs, rough and smooth, aud almost drove every bit of breath out of my tires. I submitted bemuse I couldn't well do otherwise, but the time of my revenge was at hand. Ho was pumping me along a bit of pleasant country road whore the shade would have been very grateful to mo if ho had only run aloug slowly, whou he caught) up with a pretty girl on an awfully ornamonfcal wheel.

I could hear him laugh with a chuckle at his luck, and he sailed alongside of her and began talking. Of course he had no business to, but bicyclists that way are not so extremely formal, and she talked back at him, and It wasn't long until he was entirely absorbed In the girl and was leaving all tho rest of the matter to mo. Then I pricked up my ears and got ready, and all at once, when wo came to a good place, I took a header Into a ditoh. The girl screamed, the man swore, ttnd I lay over on my side helpless, but happy. He and I rode home in a passing plo wagon, tho girl disappeared, and it cost him $7 for repairs

I don't know why it Is but, after sorno years of experience, I am prepared to as sort that a fat woman weighing 200 pounds is just twice as heavy as a fat man of tho same weight. If some scientist will explain this, he will do all of us bicycles a great favor. However, I don't care very much about it, because 1 mode it oon venlent to dump the fat lady one evening luto a pond of water, and she came so near drowning that she has organised a crusade agal nst the wheel and has bought an Interest in a patent antifat remedy.

But |hore was another woman—Ah mo, what a delight it was to go llylng with her! She was dainty little creature, light os a fairy and strong as wire, and she knew where all the prettiest places were, and there we went together, and she drew pictures of sylvan scenes while I 'leaned up against a tree and watched hear by the hour. One day a handsome young fellow wheeled by, and they nodded pleasantly, she blushing a bit and he smiling. Soveral days after that thoy came to my place together, and she took me away with her for three days. Thai was a delight to mo, for we went far off by easy stages, and the young man on his own wheel—a toauty it wast, too—wont with ni

Therw were oilier# in tho pi -f, but my interest was in these two, and 1 paid no heed to what the others did or whor* tl went The third day as wo wen mik homeward my lady appeared to be ill at rase, and there were tin when, If I hod not had all my wits al-uut me, we would surely have gone off the! road and over the bank Into whatever may have been below to have received us. The young man was never far off, but he was no* as ho had been, and after won ring nearly all day what could have banned I ri^nerabered to have seen them the night r« on the phutaa, where I loaned up a^nst the wall

I was fcr'!% need of met and did not pay im at». Jon tea them, but I remembered that thjy were quarr-' iing (m of those lf \Trs'youkoowV rutd she was an d«^. 1 little body. equal to cope with any man. 1 kt «w this, and so let pass, .t took my rest qia*? oblivious of my &_ rc indijsg* or th»*lr?. What rmlly happen**! 1 don't but It most have been ntgertou* than I su-pecu-d, for our lu^mw&rd trip was at^ thing but pleasant.

Then I didn't him any more, thougk

He didn't know that a dumb wheel knew anything, but I am sure my lady would have known, for we were suoh good friends, and I had never given her a moment's pain In all my life. Well, after flvo miles of a run we reached a physician's office in a little village, and the young man hurried tho doctor into a carriage and book again we went, he riding away, telling the doctor where to come. I won't say what kind of time we made, but I think we did that five miles in ten minutes, though, being excited at the moment, I may 1m exaggerating. In any event, the young man got back quite a long time before the doctor did, and when he came he found me leaning against the rooks and my lady's head resting on the yonng man's arm. She was as white as a lily, with a little lino of blood running down from under a handkerchief tho young man had tied about her head, and when tho doctor came she fainted, though she was conscious when the young man and I got back.

The doctor immediately went about fixing hor so he oould carry her to abetter plaoe than among those rocks, and as he workod over her I hoard the young man tolling him how he had been fishing in the stream below, and how he had seen her on the crags above, where a stone loosened under her foot, throwing her over into the water, where she sirac!: a glancing blow upon a rook, which cut her temple. Tho water was not deep, but stunnod as she wns she would have drowned if he had not been there to rescue her, and he had bound up her head and rushed away or me for the help that was needed. The doctor laughed softiy as the young man was telling all this to him, and ho looked at him rather queerly, I thought, for a physician to do in time of suoh awful danger, for my lady looked like she was dead, she was that white.

Is she your wifo?" asked tho doctor, still smiling. "Oh, no!" replied the young man, blushing furiously.

Going bac1:, the young man wheeled right along behind tlio carriage as if it all depended on him. I'don't think Ioversaw so young a man who had quarreled with a girl take so much Interest in her. He even forgot me nfc tho doctor's office, and thoy had to send out for me tho next day. But my lady was all right, aud that was enough glory for both of us.

Postscript.—Didn't I begin this by saying that I was a bicycle for hire? I wish to correct that. My lady and the yountr man came Into my place today, and she put hor pretty whito hand on me and patted me as If I wore very dear to her, and she told the man in charge of tho place to send me up to her house and send the bill along "My husband will pay it," she said, and tho young man smiled radiantly on her, and, giving me a sounding slap on the saddle, remarked, "Old fellow, you're a corker."

I don't know what that is, but I guess I must bo it, for he would hardly tell a fib in tho presence of my lady.—Detroit Free Press.

Bmntifolly Simple,

Until comparatively recently, nobody has bothered himself very much about the way in which he has breathed, but within the post two or three years the misguided world has been informed of Jits error in tliis respect, and "How to Breathe Properly" is a frequent caption of the public prints. As usual with tho modern theorists, every known ill is mitigated or aggravated according as its victim exhales and inhales the atmosphere which surrounds him in the way prescribed by this or that system indorsed by tho aforesaid theorists. Undoubtedly there is a great value in deep, full breathing, but one questions the Ix-v.rtflt of a "euro'* which depends on putting the foot down at inhalation and taking it up at exhalation, and vice versa, though the advocates of tho system are as euthusiast lo as are the followers of the barefoot panacea of tbo bidlovpsjn tbo remedial virtues of mud baths.

The last breathing remedy is fc& sea sickness. All you have to do to be absolutely Impervious to the miseries of mal de mer is to pay careful attention to the rise and fall of the vessel, and to breathe inward as it goes down mid exhale the breath aeh time It mount# a wave.

7 V" TERRE HATJTE SATURDAY E

I say I did not see him any more

•J mean for some time. That was several wetks lata? Wo had gone into quite a remote section, where there was excellent sketching ground, and she had left me by a fence and clambered across a stony field among the crags overhanging a stream, I suppose she had been gone an hour, when I heard hear scream and a minute or two later a man's voloe shouting. No answer came to it, and presently his head showed above the rooks, and he came tearing my way. He looked dreadfully frightened, and when he saw me he said, "Thank God!" with a sincerity that seemed like a prayer, and swinging me out into the road he sent rae along with a speed I thought was not in me. By degrees I began to understand that my lady was hurt in some way, and he was going for help, for he was the young man my young lady admired most, and it was his face that I had seen in her sketches—even more of them than before we had gone on that three days' trip and had come hosno in a quarrel. Of course wh»\n I kww what was expected of n»\ to get tho young man where help was, I braced myself to do my best, and I think I added greatly to his speed by my prompt response to his efforts.

"I thought it hadn't gono quite that far, "said the doctor, and he laughed so that the yourg man got mad and began to say words at tho doctor. "That's all right," Raid the doctor again. "I like to see your interest in her. She will bo your wife some day, or I'm no judge of signs. Help mo put her in tho carriage. I think by tho time we get her to my office 'die will bo sufficiently recovered to go home."

STOR1EQ OF THE DAY.

The Editor WM 8hnt Off In His Desire to Explftia Thing*. A story was recently told of how

Hiss Kitty C. Wilkins, the famous horsewoman of Idaho, has been in Denver for a couple of week* making arrangements for a shipment of horses to the south from her ranch, 60 miles south of Boise City, at Mountain Home, on the Union Pacific railroad.

Miss Wilkins is in many respects a most remarkable woman. For the past nine years she has been selling horses and making money out of the business where many others have failed.

Miss Wilkins is a tall blond# with closely cropped hair of a golden hue, and in dress and appearance she is not at all unlike many another woman to be met with on the street every day. She was just getting ready to leave the city for Chicago, and while she was talking won Id step to the glass and affectionately fix her front and baok hair, which but shortly before had seen the curling iron.

She carefully stowed away in her grip little white boxes, bits of chamois skin and a sponge, with a little hand glass. She was neatly attired in a blue

Certain ly. I can and do ride ovftr the ranges looking after our stock and take a great deal of pleasure in it. You see, we raise cattle as well as horses, but I do not like cattle, and so have nothing to do with them. I used to ride the ranch a great deal more than I do now, but I like it as well as ever, only that I have not the time. The ranch house and the surrounding? of our mountain home are not unlike the typical ranch anywhere in the west, and many of our animals range on the government land and are rounded up every year and branded.'' "Do you travel alone?" ... "Always. I have never yet found any inconvenience in it, and never feel the want of a so called protector. I am amply able to take care of myself."— Denver Republican.

Long Sleep.

Maggie Ley of Grand Rapids has been asleep for nine weeks. She is about 13 years old and otherwise healthy. She eats heartily when aroused for her meals and answers intelligently when asked questions while she is.awake. She had a similar attack a year ago, but it lasted only a few days, but the&present attack has resisted all treatment. She sleeps from 22 to 28 hours daily, and drops off even while eating or being talked tj Her father is insane and his father was insane.

The doctors ascribe the girl's condition to a hereditary taint of the blood affecting the brain. The girl is attract* ive in appearance, and until the attacks came on attended school regularly.— Chicago Record.

corit prom mi American Tree. About 35 years ago several young cork trees were sent to Sandersville, Ga., by the government and set out to test their adaptability to the climate. Three or four are yet living, and the largest one is more than 2 feet in diameter. Last week it was stripped of its bark around the trunk,- under the direction of Colo nel Richard L. War then, who manifests a great interest in trees of all varieties, and samples of the cork will be forwarded to the agricultural department at Washington and to the Atlanta exposition. The bark, or cork, is inches thick and is good material—Atlanta Constitution.

That is what 15-year-old William Ludlnxn White of Jamaica can boast of, and he is proud of the fact that be is the biggest boy in these United Slates. The little town of Jamaica is just as proad of William as he it of himself. Yon can figure out for yourself what a big fellow William will be when he reaches his thirtieth birthday.

I do not attend the round ups or the branding, but I have always sold the horses we have for sale each year and have been very successful. It has been our good fortune to make money on our horses every year in spite of the depression that has come upon the business. I go to points in Georgia and Florida and there dispose of the stock I have for sale, and am uniformly successful." "Can you lasso a horse?"

CURED BY CYCLING.

Strange Experience of a Grand Army Man With Paraly*!*. One of the latest trinmpha of the bicycle is the cure of paralysis, G. A. Boettner of Brooklyn was afflicted with paralysis in the legs, having sustained a stroke four years ago. It was after he had undergone his sufferings for many mouths aud the physicians whom he confuted had failed to relieve him that some of his G, A. R. comrades who were devoted to the bicycle nrged him to learn to tide. He laughed at the idea of a man who could scarcely stand alone attempting to sit a wheel, but they persisted that it would save his life.

Impressed with this «he consulted a New York nerve specialist, who told him to go ahead under specific directions. Mr. Boettner got hold of a $15 boy's wheel, on which to make t^e trial. He was lifted on the wheel, held on the seat And pushed along by friends. Bnt he found he could not follow the pedals with his feet. This difficulty was met by strapping his feet to the pedals. For six weeks he was wheeled around Prospect park for an hour or more each morning by friends with his fees tied to the pedals. "I began to feel better after three days," said Mr. Boettner. "At the end of six weeks the cold water and prickly sensation had almost entirely gone. I finally became able to ride alone and got well speedily.''—Philadelphia Press.

A NOVEL SUIT.

Wants 80,000 For Injarle* Received From a Bursting Bicycle ,Tlre. A resident of Rochester is about to commence a novel suit for damages in the supreme court. He seeks to recover $5,000 for injuries which he claims to have received through the explosion of a bicycle tire, or. strictly speaking, the forcible ejectment from the tire of a plug which had been used to repair a puncture and was not secure enough to stand the pressure of the air.

The complainant was riding his wheel behind another wheelman whose bicycle was fitted with a single tube or hose pipe tire, when suddenly he heard a noise like the report of a pistol and felt a stinging sensation in his left eye. He dismounted, and at the same time the rider in front of him was obliged to dismount on account of the collapse of one of his tires. The apparent puncture ws in the exact spot where a puncture had previously been received, but the plug which had stopped the leak was nowhere to be found.

The injured optio grew rapidly worse, and, although the missile which was the cause of the damage cannot be produced in court, the plaintiff thinks he is warranted in charging his hurt to the innocent rider who was in front "of him.—New York World.

Hopes to Revolutionize Transportation. B. F. Channel, a Cambridgeport (Mass.) shipbuilder, has iifvented something which, if it will do all he expects it to do, ought to revolutionize all transportation methods. It is not exactly a steamboat, neither is it a locomotive, and yet it partakes of the properties of each. He says that it will go equally well on the land or in the water, and that it will have a speed of 100 miles an hour on the land and 75 miles an hour in the water. The boat is like an ordinary steamboat, except that it has very large wheels. In a boat 75 feet long they would be 25 feet in diameter. The wheels come down to a level with the keel, and on this are placed a series of ball wheels, on which the vessel runs when on land. Mr. Channel's argument is that there are 75 feet on the circumference of each of these 25 foot wheels. If they can be made to revolve at a speed of 100 times a minute—and he does not doubt that they oan—why, there is a speed of 7,500 feet a minute, and any one can figure out that that is more than 75 miles an hour. In order to turn a corner Mr. Channel says all that is necessary would be to stop one of the wheels. Mr. Channel thinks that with a fleet of such boats the United States "could lick the world."—Boston Traveller.

An Inhuman Custom Dying Out. The Sooiety For the Protection of Birds df England is rejoicing that at last a reaotion has come against the universal use of birds' feathers on hats and bonnets. When the London season opened in May, every woman wore a graceful spray of soft, fine plumes, with drooping or curly tips. These bird of paradise feathers were in quantities at every milliner's. Mixed in the same spray were delicate osprey tips, whichhad long been in fashion. During the season one warehouse of the many engaged in the traffic disposed of 60,000 dozens of these mixed sprays. They are now disappearing, but perhaps because it is announced that the supply of birds is almost exhausted.—New York Sun.

Urfa, the Ancient Bdeonu

Built half way up the Jebli Nimrnd, on a hill above a rushing torrent, it never lacks water or the sound of the perpetual fountain that gained for it in the old days tho name Callirrhoe, Water in basins, in drinking places, in small mills water in the torrents, in the springs and down the sides of streets everywhere is heard the same bubbling Bound so dear to oriental ears. And with it are trees innumerable, great forest trees in the gardens, with walnuts and pomegranates, and fruit of all sorts gardens everywhere, within and without the town, and a thing seldom to be seen in an eastern town, the large courtyard of the Serai grass grown, with seats and spreading trees on either side.

The bazaars, too, and the streets seem all to share in the charm that water lends. Nowhere else are there such vaulted corridors, tall and wiry, for the market, such splendid caravansaries, built by some magnificent old Turk, of an order since passed away, and where, above all, can be matched the exquisite mosque of Ibrahim-el-Khalil—Abra-ham, the friend of God—with its stately minaret and marble courtyards reflected in the silent shady pool?—"Six Months In a Syrian Monastery," O.

A Wire Walking Bat.

At the'oornerof Market and Broad streets, Newark, N. J., there is a thick network of telegraph wires and telephone cablea Late one afternoon the loiterers about the corner witnessed a curious incident From the roof of the Firqjpen's insurance building a cable wire extends across Market street to the Postal Telegraph office.

A rat was seen on the wire over the insurance building. He moved slowly along the wire, and by the time he had reached the middle of the street he had a crowd below him that would have delighted the heart of Blondin. He paid no attention to the upturned faces, but continued slowly but surely on his way until he reached the Postal Telegraph building. He lightly leaped from the roof and disappeared. Philadelphia Record. iMce Baric Tree or Jamaica.

Tho department o? agriculture, forestry division, at Washington, has a collection of rare trees nnd plants only second to that belonging to the famed Kew gardens, London. A recent addition to this dendrological museum is a "lace bark tree" from Jamaica. The inner bark of this queer tree is composed of many layers of fine and Intricately woven fibers which interlock with each other in all directions. Caps, ruffies and even complete suits of this ourious vegetable lace have been made. It bears washing with common laundry soap, and when bleached in the sun acquires a degroe of whiteness seldom excelled by artificial laces made of cotton, linen and silk. The intrioate web of this unique bark makes it compare favorably to th«i last mentioned productions for both beauty and durability. It is to be sincerely hoped that tho agricultural department will seo that the Jamaica lace tree Is introduced into tho United States and its cultivation carefully fostered.—St. Louis Republic.

Dean Hole and the Oxford Snob. Dean Hole, the distinguished English churchman, dearly loves a good joke. One day a somewhat snobbish Oxford friend of his, wishing to impress upon the dean the high social character of his familiar acquaintances, wrote him a letter, beginning: "My dear countess," and then scratching out "countess" substituted "Hole."

Whereupon the dean, not to be outdone, began his reply, "My deur queen," and then drew his pen through "queen"and substituted "Dick." |ft|i

Power of the Human Jaws. Dr. G. V. Black,' a dentist of Jacksonville, Fla., has made some interesting experiments upon the force exerted by the human jaws in the ordinary mastication of food, and also tho greatest force which the jaws are capable of exerting. By means of a spring instrument provided with a registering device he took records of about 150 "bites" of different persons. Of these 50 have been preserved as characteristic of the ordinary man, woman and child. The smallest pressure recorded was 30 pounds, by a little girl 7 years old. This was with the incisors. Using her molars, tho same child exerted a force of 65 pounds. The highest record was made by a physician of 35. The instrument used only registered 270 pounds, and heclosed it together without apparent effort. There was no method of determining how for above 270 pounds he could have gone. This test was made with the molars. Several persons exceeded a force of 100 pounds with the incisors and 200 with the molars. The physical oondition. of the persons experimented upon seemed to have little bearing upon the result Dr. Black is of the opinion that the condition of the peridental membranes is tie controlling factor, rather than muscular'strength. Dr. Black found that in the habitual chewing of food much more force is exerted than is necessary. v. ..
