BEND

BENEATH THE BLAST.

When sorrow's tempests round as roar J| And overwhelm the soul. Oh, trUHt thou not in worldly pride

Or seek the tempting bowl, Bat with a firm and trusting heart. Bend low beneath the blast. And he above who ohasteneth thee »p«py -$a Will raise thee when 'tis past. I§lpf|

The lofty oofc the mountain pine, Bo stately i». their pride, Host bend or break before the cttorma

That on the night winds ride. While the meek willow lowly stoops Before the raging blast And lifts its head in ljeauty decked'

When storms and clouds are past.

So thou, oh, man, must lowly bend When sorrows round thee press! They may bo angels in disguise

To lead to happiness. Oh, trust to him who rules above And bend beneath the blast, And he will raise thy drooping soul

When storms of life are past I —Finley Johnson in New York Ledger.

HIS LAST PUPIL.

"The fiWfc thing you can do,'f said my doctor, "Is 60 take to bicycling." "At present, of coarse, one bicycles," raid the man of the world. "You're missing thes finest possible enjoyment by not bicycling," «nid my athletic friend.

In fact, wherever I went I was met by bicyclists who longed to make others bicycle. It was not for health, nor for fashion, nor for exorcise that I finally took to the machine. It was simply from the pressure of public opinion. When I hnd finally aiven in and" made op my mind to spoil my clothes, bruise my body, and ruin my temper by learning to ride, I sought out my athletic friend and asked him to tell mo if there was any instructor whom ho could especially recommend. "Yes," he said, "thoro is. There is one man, Barkinstone by name, who has quite a small shop in the JSnderdown road. Ho knows more about tho bike than any two other men in England put together. I would not dream of buying a new machine myself without consulting Bark instono about it, though lie would charge me a guinea for his opinion."

I said that that seemed rather a lot of money. My friend confessed tlint It was so. "But if you want the very best you always have fro pay for it. Barkinstone's thorough, that's what he is. Ho nover advertises and never makes any fiiHS, but on his merits alone ho always has more work than ho can do. Ho never employs an assistant—except, of course, in his workshops. If ho consents to teach you, ho will charge you £5, no matter how few or how many lessons you may require. It seems

good deal of money, I dare

Bay,

but then remember that if you pay for Barkinstone you get Barkinstone. He dot's not hand you over to some understrapper who knows nothing of the real science of the thing, and he will turn you out perfoGt. Your style will be absolutely correct. You will ride easily and confidently. You will thoroughly understand the mechanism of your bike, and if any trifling accident occurs be able to put it right for yourself instead of rushing off to a repairer. Don't do it unless you like, but, if you do I can guarantee that you will get your money's worth." "Did he teaoh youf" I asked. "Well, I'll tell you. I learned to ride all right,

I thought then, from a friend

of mine. After I had ridden for about a year 1 met one of Barkinstone's pupils, a lady, and when I watched her I felt dissatisfied with myself and uneasy about my riding. I got an introduction from her—he won't take pupil without an introduction and went to Barkinstone. 'JLook here,' I said, 'I want you to try mo and see if I ride properly." He put mo a lot of tests, and I thought I got through most of them fairly well. 'Yes,' said Barkinstone, 'your machine doesn't suit you, and your saddle's not. right. You get along anyhow and ride like the average man.' 'What do I want?'I asked, 'Two finishing lessons at a guinea each,' ho Raid. I took them, and I never spent money better. 1 gained in comfort, gained In speed and got an understanding of the machine that was alone worth the money,"

That decided me. With an Introduction from my athletic friend I sought out Barkinstone in the Knderdovvn roml. He was a tall, thin man, with a loose lip and inquiring eye. He heart! what I wanted and then looked up entries Inn notebook. "I'm full up for a fortnight," he said.

You can take the course then If yon like. I shall require the £& in advance and a written promise to keep my system of tuition secret. That la my usual custom." gave him the money and the promise and said good morning. "Wait a minute, sir," said Barkinstone, "I must have a machine exactly right ready for you to learn on. Step this way." He took me Into another room, weighed me carefully, measured mo frequently and accurately and told me exactly what clothes I was to get. He had a model suit there and explained It to mo. Ho had

tame tailor, who was intrusted with the making of these suits. He would not risk hi* secret by allowing you to employ your own tailor.

At the end of a fortnight I returned to him.

I paid altogether (exclusive of moderate charge for tho clothes) £3 8s. to Barkinstone, £6 for tuition, 1 guinea for choosing a machine for me and guineas for procuring, altering and fitting special saddle. In (our days I could ride straight tip a stiff hill without bending my back and with my hands off. 1 could take my machine to pieces and put it together again. On the fifth day I rode 40 miles without feeling particularly exhausted. Now, I am by no means an athlete, and I am particularly slow at learning anything. In short, Barkinstone was expensive, but he was Also the most niunnltigly clever and thorough instructor that the world has yet produced. I sent him four pupils, and the last of them had to wait three months before Barkinstone could take him.

At a rough guess should say that Barkinstone was making from £80 to £60 a week clear profit. I heard indirectly that he was investing largely in house property.

About a year after this I was In a fishing village on the Yorkshire coast. I was there for a holiday, and (like most writing men) found that 1 got rather more work 4one in my holiday than I did any other time. On* hot day I had been sitting oat to the garden most of the morning and afternoon doing bad reviews of worse novels at my leisure. After dinner 1 finished the reviews and took them out to the poet. I observed that there was a glorious full moon that the road* were in capital condition, and 1 remember that I had taken no axerctsa all day. I went back to the house, brought out my bicycle, lit a totally

unnecessary but strictly legal lamp and rode off. The first few miles I went slowly, with my hands in my pockets. Then I settled down to some good bard work, had not taken any particular note of the direction in which I was going, nor how long I had been riding, when 1 thought heard a village clock in the distance strike one. Then I glanced at my watch and found that it was indeed an hour aitei midnight. I decided to ride on to the village and then turn back and go home. The road here stretched long and white.

On one side was the low stone wall of a park, on the other was a steep, downward slope covered with grass and brambles. I noticed in the distance a tiny spark darting hither and thither, occasionally stopping suddenly and then zigzagging again.

As I came nearer I-perceived that this spark was a bicycle lamp and that the ma chine was being ridden by some one not expert, some one who occasionally collapsed and desperately remounted. Nearer still I drew. The other cyclist was visible now, his shoulders hunched, his knees tnrned in and his insteps well over the pedals. I t»r«pared to dodge, and it was as well I dio, for just as we met he gave another lurch and came at me. I escaped biin, and he went bang into the wall, shoved himself off with one hand, shot across to the other side of the road and tumbled straight down the embankment. Then from motives of humanity I got off my machine. I called down the embankment, "Are you hurt?"

After a moment a voice oaiue from jtije middle of a bramble bush: "Not much. The bike's—er—rather entangled, but I can manage. Don't stop forme."

However, I leaned my machine against the wall, took off the lamp and climbed down the embankment with it in my(hand. Against the bramble bush was the flder, stooping down and rubbing his shins. Beside him was a lump of mixed machinery that had once been a bicycle. He looked up as I approached, and the light of my lamp fell full an his face. "BarkinstoneI" I exclaimed. "Barkinstone of the Enderdown road, by all that's miraculous!" "No, no," he said, "my namo is—er— Brown."

Not a bit of it," I replied. "You taught me to ride, and I know you. You're Barkinstone." "I knew this vould happen one of these days," ho paid to himself mournfully. "Yes, sir, it's no good to say otherwise. I'm Barkinstone." "And tho ama/lng part of it is you don't talk in the least as if you were drunk." "I'm not drunk. I know my business well enough—see—look at this." Ho took a couple of tools from his pocket. Then he picked up a bundle of spokes, some scraps of tire, a handle bar and what was left of the -middle, and in a very few minutes had made a bicyelo out of them. "There, does that look as If Iweredrunk?" "No," I said, "it doesn't. And, drunk or sober, nobody but you could have doue it. But why did you ride like that?" "Because I ain't ride any better. In fact, that ride tonight was the best I've over done. I've never been so far before without falling ofT." "Still 1 don't understand. You taught me to ride. Ycu have taught hundreds to ride.":

Yes, but I oiih't tcmnh myself." "You have a theory of riding that is absolutely correct. It has been tested."

Yos, tho theory Is correct In nine hundred and »inety-nino eases out of a thousand. I'm the thousandth. Was I ridiug properly when you saw moP" "You were pedaling very unevenly and badly. Yon clung hard to the handles. You kept looking at the front wheel. You"— "Oh, you needn't go on! I was doing everything I oughtn't to do. I know it. The theory falla with me because I am the thousandth ease. Do you Hilnk It takos any courage to learn to ride the bicycle?" "None whatever—not In tho least." "I'll put it in a different way. Can you conceive of a want of nerve so Ufrible, a physical cowardice so great, that it might absolutely prevent a man from learning to bike, or at any rate cause him to take years over It, where other men would only take daysf" "No, I can't." "Very likely not, sir. But I suffer from just that want of nerve, just that physical cowardice, I stand beside the machino and my nerve's all right, and I know all there is to know about riding. I've only got to put my foot on the step and my nerve's gone, and in moment I've forgctten everything. Then I flouudor about and come off and hurt myself and break things."

Ho limped up tho embankment to the road, carrying his machino and refusing any assistances "Going to get on again?" I asked. "Oh, yes! I've got perseverance and moral courage if I haven't got physical courage and norve."

Ho placed his left foot on tho step, propelled the machine In a slow curve with three convulsive kicks with his right foot, roso slowly Into the air, then slipped off the step and came down In the rood with the machine oh top of him. He was apparently quite used to this kind of thing, for ho observed in an unmoved voice from undet the machine, "There was one thing I forgot to mention, sir."

Well, what was it?" "You would do mo a great favor," he said, rising slowly, "If you would for the present keep this Incident a secret. You know what the public is, sir. If the public knew that 1 could not ride, it would never believe that I could teach other people to ride. I am about to retire. In another six months I shall bo able to give up tho business and live in comfort in a fino house in the country for the rest of my days. After that it doesn't much matter what you say, for DO pupil has ever been dissatisfied with me. But until then It might spoil business." "But why give up your business? .You're far too young a man to retire. What interest have you got in the country? What would you do with yourself?"

Learn the bicycle. I shall be my own pupil. It will take roe all my life. Good night, sir. Well, thanks—if you'd just give me a hand."

He relit bis lamp. I held tho machine while he mounted and then shoved Mm off. Ho vanished like a diamond pointed corkscrew, more or less in the direction of the village.

mttcrfkig From Harsh Environment.

In Limousin there is a barren range of low hills which lies along the dividing line between the departments of Dorrt.«gne, Correze and Haute-Vienne, about half way between Perigneux and Limoges. The water courses show the location of these uplands. They extend over an area about 75 miles long and half as wide, wherein average human misery is most profound. Dense ignorance prevails. There is more illiteracy than in any other part of France. The contrast in stature, even with tho low average of all the surrounding region, is clearly marked by the dark tint. There are sporadic bits of equal diminutiveness elsewhere to the south and west, but none is so extended or so ex-' treme. Two-thirds of the men are below 6 feet 3 inches in height in some of the communes, and the women are three or more inches shorter even than this. One man in ten is below 4 feet 11 inches in stature

This is not due to race, for several racial types are equally stunted in this way within the same area. It is primarily due to generations of subjection to a harsh climate, to a soil which is worthless for agriculture, to a steady diet of boiled chestnuts and stagnant water and to insanitary dwellings in the deep, narrow and damp valleys. Still further proof may be found to show that these people are not stunted by any hereditary influence, for it has been shown that children born here, but who migrate and grow up elsewhere, are normal in height, while those born elsewhere, but who are subject to this environment during the growing period of youth, are proportionately dwarfed.

Do Clocks Get Tired?

"Do clocks get tired?" said Mr. Billtops. "I imagine they do. I love to hear a clock tick. I suppose everybody does. We had a little clock that I used to keep in my own room. It stopped one day and I shook it up a little and it started on, but it Soon stopped again, and after that it kept stopping, and sometimes it would take me ten minutes to shake it up so Jhat it would go on and keep going. I suppose I spent on that clock as much time as would have paid for half a dozen clocks like it, and finally it stopped altogether and I gave it up and the little clock lay idle for months. I supposed that sooner or later we should throw it away, and 1 thought the only reason that we didn't was because we hate to throw anything away. "But one day one of the children got hold of the clock and took the back off it to see what was the matter with it. You know what happens when children begin fooling with a clock. I never expected to hear the clock tick again, but I'm blessed if the shave^ didn't make it go. What he did to it I don't knownothing, I guess, except to oil it, and I suppose that was all it needed, or else it had simply tired and had wanted a rest, but it's going agaiu now and ticking away like a good one."—New York Sun.

The queen was entertaining a great man, who in the afternoon walked from the castle to Cumberland lodge. At dinner her majesty, full, as always, of gracious solicitude for the comfort of her guests, said, "1 hope you were not tired by your long walk?" "Oh, not at ail. thank you, ma'am. 1 got a lift as far back as the copper horse." "As far r.s what?" inquired her majesty, in evident astonishment. "Oh, the copper horse, at the end of tho long walk.'' "That's not a copper horse. That's iny grandfather."

A Woman's Wit.

A western judge was approached by a verdant couple who wanted to be married. The would bo groom asked the price.of tying the knot and was told it was $1. "Can't you take beeswax?" inquired the rustic."Yes," said the squire.

The wax was brought in and upon being weighed was found to be worth just 60 cents. "Well," said the anxious groom, "tie the knot, and I'll fetch more wax next week." "No, sir. I don't trust. That is against the rules of the office."

Slowly the disappointed youth turned to go out, saying, "Come, Sal, let's go." "I say, mister," answered Sal, with a woman's wit, "can't you marry us as far as the wax will go?" "Yes, I can and I will," responded the judge, laughing, and he did. Exchange.

Teeth Filled With Glass,

The latest use for glass is instead of gold as a material for stopping decayed teeth. It answers splendidly and is far less conspicuous than the yellow metal Of course it is not ordinary glass, but is prepared by some new patented process which renders it soft and malleable.

Glass, too, is being extensively used for church bells. It can be toughened so that there is no risk of its cracking, and the tone is said to be, beyond anything yet invented, perfect, soft and sonorous.

The color of this new bell glass is a deep, rich green.—Philadelphia Record.

A NEW FRUIT INDUSTRY.

Green Dates to Be Among- Our Table Luxnrles Ere Lone. [Special Correspondence.]

PHEXIX, A. T., Nov. 13.—The feature that attracted more attention than all the rest of the extensive fruit exhibit of "the American institute fair, recently held in New York, was a group of branches of date palms grows in this country. These branches were heavily laden with fruit, both ripe and .unripe.

The ripe dates were grown near this city, in the Salt river valley, and presented tG the fair by the chamber of commerce. The unripe fruit came from Riverside, in southern California.

These specimens demonstrate the fact that green dates will soon form an important feature of the nation's fruit dietary, and that date culture will ere long be added to the wide range of profitable horticultural industry this country now possesses. Professor H. E. Van JDemau, in discussing the subject, remarks: "There is no reason why the sandy, arid wastes of Lower California, New Mexico and Arizona should not blossom as the rose with a continuous series of plantations of date trees, just as the barren and stony hills of California have been transmogrified by the cultivation of the olive. "As the Arabs put it, the date palm needs 'water at the feet and fire at the head.' My experiments have satisfied me that all that these barren wastfc.. need for the cultivation of dates is a little irrigation. 11PII "A few years ago,"wlien "I was pomologist to the national department of agriculture, I sent to Egypt, Arabia and Algiers to procure some suckers of the best varieties of date trees. The trees chosen had been handed down by a process of selection lasting for centuries.

Those suckers were planted in tubs of earth and readied this country in the form of thriving young date trees. It was the first time that such an experiment was successfully carried out, the British and other European governments having tried it repeatedly and failed. "I then distributed the young trees in seven different colonies, so that they might form a nucleus for the spread of a great progeny. The result before you shows how well the plan has worked, and date culture may now be said to be thoroughly domesticated in these United States. "It is not generally known,*Ht the green data is about the sweetesrv ^t on the face of the earth. When th\ \ierican people once get to know their fete, they will never give them up."

To Cure Catarrh

Do not depend upon snuffs, inhalents or other local applications. Catarrh is a constitutional disease, and can be successfully treated only by means of a constitutional remedy like Hood's Sarsaparilla, which thoroughly purifies the blood and remdves the scrofulous taints which cause catarrh. The great number of testimonials from those who have been cured of catarrh by Hood's Sarsaparilla prove the unequalled power of this medicine to conquer this disease. If troubled with Catarrh give Hood's Sarsaparilla fair trial at once. -5s

Haxoun-al-Raschld's Koran.

For exhibition at the congress of orientalists it is said that the French minister of public instruction offered the snltan £8,000 for the loan of the Koran t.f Harcnn-al-Raschid, to parade at the reception and then to have it copied. He refused. This unique volume stands in the tombhonse of the sultans at Constantinople at the foot of Mahmoud II's ct^fin. Its margins are illuminated in the Persian style, and it is kept with jealous care bv the wearer of a green turban.

Artists curious about decoration would be repaid in seeing it for making a journey to Constantinople. M. Cambcu gees often to feast his eyes on it. Ke was first authorized to offer £2,00U for a loan of it for two years, and then £3,000, the French govern-, ment paying a heavy premium of insurance, but the sultan holds it to be invaluable, which it is. He also thought that, if lent, the faithful would miss it from the tombhonse, where it is treated as a venerable relic. Had it been brought to Paris raider tho proposed conditions, anew departure in decorative art might have been the consequence.—London TrutliJH "--V

|An Underground City,

In Galicia, in Austrian Poland, there is a remarkable underground city, which has a population of over 1,000 men, women and children, scores of whom have never seen the light of day, says the Roxbury Giizette. It is knowrf as the City of if alt Mines and is situated several hundred feet below tho earth's surface. It has its town hull, theater and assembly foom as well as a beautiful church, decorated with statues, all being fashioned from the pure crystallized rock salt. It has well graded streets and spacious squares, lighted with electricity There are numerous instances in this underground city where not a single individual in three or four successive generations has ever seen the sun or has any idea of how people live in the light of day.$.

In England the plan of having icehouses so built that a large portion is underground is still the prevalent method, in America it has long .since been found that the uatural warmth of the earth is a foe to ice preservation. No one, we suppose, in America would think of having an icehouse built in any way than wholly above ground.— Meehau's Monthly
