"Honeymooning" ia ft new woxd whioh is .at the disposal of any one who wishes to make use of it. ^ Judgo Albion W. Touxgee has tm* dertaken a crusade against books with uncut leaves, which he pronounces "ft .n?selest -and snobbish fad." Manchester, England, is about to erect an equestrian statue to Sir Charles Halie, the musical conductor, who. never mounted a horse in kia life. Professor John Fiske predicts that ft great religious revival will shortly comp, surpassing even that of the thir teenth century, the era of great catho* dral building. The Spanish Government, it is said, bas declined the Pope's mediation in Cuban affairs "on the ground that euch an aeceptanoe would be tanta mount to recognizing America's right to interfere." A curious fact in connection with the bicycling habit, noted by the New Tork Mail and Express, is that the wheel is always tired and the wheel man nevor is; yet they invariably cover th 3 same distance. William E. Curtis, tho Washington correspondent, says that petitions to Congress have become so common as to be without any effect. Ho says that no one reads them and that they are piled upon shelves in the clerk's office. _'_ ' Mrs. Humphrey Ward says that wo men havo been hampered heretofore as writers of fiction owing to the fact that they could not travel ana explore without escorts. She expects great things cf women in literature now" that the old prejudices aro passing away._ .Daklarid, Cal., claims to bo tho healthiest oity in tho world, or, at any rate, in the United States. The death rato has fallen since 1882, when it was 13.55 a thousanl. Last year it was 11.85 a thousand. This ap proacho* tho tanguine sanitarian's' ideal oi ll in a thousand. The norri, w B dtio seas bava a worso record for wreaks than any other por tie n of tho globe. Tho annual num ber of such casualties exceeds one a day, ranging from 425 to 151, and in ore-half of these oases all the crews "wiro^?TT?" the tenir"ye?rs'frorcr 1877 to 1881, no less than 7?0 lives wtare lost there. The Atlanta Constitution says: "l?efore the war the South turned to agriculture because' it was profitable. Now that manufacturing will yield bet ter returns than farming womay expect to see mills and factories started in .vory community. Onr people may * be relied upon to take caro of their own interests." . Baldness is found to affect abont twelve per cent, of the male popula tion, according to an English physi cian. The same observer has cade the singular discovery that, while musical composers belong to tho general aver age, pianists and violinists have fine heads of hair until lato in lifo, bnt performers on brass instruments-es pecially +Lo trombone-become bald very eariy. Professor Boentgen finds that tho discovery of his famous "rays" brings upon him as much worry as glory. Instead of being ablo to work on quietly, he is overwhelmed with cor respondence from all parts of the world, and has not a moment to him self. Tho Professor is a singular-look ing man. He has a long faoe, still fcrther lengthened by a beard, a prominent forehead, large ears and big bright eyes. His '?air stands stiffly upright, without any parting. According to the Railway Aga, "Farmers in various localities who en thusiastically votod to allow electric railways to be built on the highways, so as to punish the rascally steam roads, are now repenting. A letter from Ohio, in an agricultural paper, declares that the electric cars make it almost impossiblo for a farmer to drivo his livo stock tc market while the destruction of tho highway pre vents his hauling hay or grain. He might havo added that in point of speed, regularity and comfort of ser vice the rural eleotrio roads comrade very unfavorably with the steam roads and have proved disappointing to those who expected that the trolleys would destroy the rates and business of the ?team railways. " The Somer vi I/o . (Mass.) Schcol Board is sorely troubled by the fact that women teachers often resign, in order io get married, lin the middle of libe school year, thus unsettling order ly instruction, states Harper's Week ly. At the last meeting of the Board ti lesolation wac adopted providing that all elections of teachers should be :ondit ional upon an agreement that they shall remain in the employ of the oity iiirtii the oloso of tho school year, anlese they shall :resign by reason of profesiional advancement or for causes entirely beyond their control. One of the members of tbe Board de alared his belief that tho order would bo "inert." It rennins to be .seen whether love will luugh at school koaxdii as well as at locksmiths. BICYCLE DEVICES. LATEST IDKAS FOR UTILIZING TUB WHEEL A Bierde and Vehicle for Siek Peo ple-Running Bicycles on Rall* way Trucks - Folding Bundle Carriers. . -. . ... ' ? ' ? * EBETOFOEE the bicycle has been a luxury that could only be afforded by indi viduals provided with money to spare. At present, however, in ventors and manufacturers are im proving the wheel ir snoh a manner as to make it a boon cr invalide. The latest invention of this kind Was put on the market the o- her day., lt is a trioyole on the two rear wheels of whioh a reclining ohair for sic c per fons is snppported. The saddle is sup ported by suitable crossbars and the front wheel is operated and controlled by the sider in the usual manner. This trioyole is surprisingly light in its construction and can be propelled with great ease. Persous afflicted with illness, who are now wheeled about with considerable difficulty, will find great pleasure in this new tricycle-. All that is required is un able bodied man to operate it. In many respects this trioyole takes the placo of a car riage, vhich few ean afford. By means of a forked bracket, piv otally awung at its forward end on the silo ol the drive, wheel, another in ventor las succeeded in utilizing the bicycle in a manner similar to the tri oyole ji.st mentioned. In this instance the bicycle oan be combined with any light vehicle, snob as a perambulator, rolling invalid's ohair and the like. The forked bracket holds the two se curely, and the rider can manipulate the pedals and st earing gear without being hampered in the least. Inventions of this kind, tbough still far from perfection, are indications nevertheless that the bioycle has a great future and one of infinite benefit to humanity in general. A sample device for assisting per sons learning to ride consists in the attachment to the hub of the rear wheel of a rod carrying at its under end a < mali wheel, which gives sup BICYCLE AND VEHIC port to the machine. This device t gives beginners on the wheel a certain e sense cf safety and enables them to c learn to ride sooner than otherwise. t Several devices have recently been 1 brought ont to enable bicycles to run < on railway tracks to insure a smooth 1 and swift road. One invention is c noteworthy for its simplicity. This < device can be eonnected to the 'frame of the wheel. It comprises a. standard, t having conneoted therewith a cross e piece, the latter carrying journals and' e rollers, whioh are adapted to come in 1 contact with the guide or rail on u whioh the bicyclist desires to ride, c This device can easily be adjusted to j fit a railway track and thus enable t riders to run along the lino of the rail- i way and gain greater speed and smoothness than a ry other road. A pump attached directly to the bi cycle is the latest invention for wheel men, who know how indispensable an article of this kind often is. This t pump ie pinioned to the axle of the ? rear wheel, and whenever needed can < be put to*use nt once. A new change-speed gearing for bi- t cycles comprises an inter nally toothed 1 driving wheel, secured to the pedal ? shift, an internally toothed sprocket i wheel, journalled on the shaft, in gear i with the rear sprooket wheel; inter- j mediate toothed gearing, in mesh with ? the driving wheel, a locking dog pivoted to the frame and a rod pro vided with a shoe designed to depress the dog and to register with the recess in the wheel. By means of this at BUNDLE CA EB 1ER W>B EIC VOLK. tachment the gearing can be regulated to any degree of speed desired. Numerous kinds of bundle carrying attachments are appearing on the mar ket every week. The newest of its kind consists of a pivoted wire frame. It can be folded to any desired size, and when in use is applied to the fork of the wheel directly under the han dle bar. When sot in use it is folded up, and in this form takes up com paratively little room. It is large enough to hold bundles and packages of ordinary size without hampering the rider or the wheel in the least. If improvements in the wheel con tinue to be made as they have been ever since the season opened it is im possible to predict what the bioyole will look like at the end of this sum mer. A Wooden Bicycle Made In 1858. A wooden bioyolo alleged to have been built in 185S, and to be the first pedal action machine constructed, is on exhibition in tho window of a bi oycle house on Broadway, New York, and is exoiting considerable attention. The wheel, whioh is reproduced, bas many novel features despite its an tiquity. Tho owner discovered the wheel ia a small, town near Utica, N. Y., and appreciating its worth, por* ohased it. E. I. Horsman, Jr., who is a well koown bicycle rider, informed a World reporter that while tho wheel is - WOOPEN BICYCLE 1IADE CT 1858. quito old and bas no doubt suf fered some rough usage, it is in good condition. It weighs 108 pounds, nearly eighty-four pounds heavier than the averago bicycle in use to day. An ingenious and curious part is the frame, which is a piece of iron curred to fit the wheel. The steer ing gear, while not elaborate in either finish or design, is very strong. A large iron coaster is attaobed to the forks above the front wheel. The saddle is a large affair, being of heavy wood, eighteen inohea long and twelve inches wide, and is adjustable, as is the pedals. The diameter of the front wheel is thirty-six inches, and the rear wheel twenty-eight inches. The wheels are made of ash. This bioycle, which is regarded as a novelty now, is valued at $500. When wheels of this design were in use, cycling trips consisted of short rides, which were sufficient to exhaust the enthusiasm of the most ardent rider. The cyolist's costume to-day is radi cally different from those in use in 1858. In those days the owner of a bicycle was oontent to ride in his or dinary a ttire, but the modern bioycle and the up-to-date suit are entirely different from the above picture. A Woman's Courage. I saw a woman do a courageous act ! in San Itafael yesterday, says a writer in the San Franoisco Post. Some lit' LE FOR TILE SICK. * le children were playing ball on the treet when a big black dog ran up md sprang aba six-year-old boy. He brew up both hands and screamed. Tho dog sprang toward him again, but lid not quite reach him. The little ellow was paralyzed with fear and :ould do nothing but scream as the log mado repeated springs at him. A woman on the opposite side of he street saw the little fellow's peril md looked around for help. Then erang a large stone she ran np and inrled it at the brute. It turned tail md ran down the street as fast as it ;ould go till it overtook tho stone, ?oked it np, trotted baok, laid it at he woman's feet, and stood wagging ts tail for her to throw it again. The dog wanted to play ball, too. A Petrification Yarn From Arizona. An Arizona man is thus quoted in he Washington Star: "There aro springs in Arizona where almost any )bject can be petrified. Frogs, snakes, izards and other reptiles have ven ;ured into some of these springs and been turned to stone. Leaves, twigs md branches of trees- havo undergone the same process. But the most re markable instanoe is that of a cattle man. He was in the habit of star ding in one of these springs and bathing. He did this for some time, when he began to feel peculiar pains in his feel and ankles, and he stopped, but the pains continued, followed by a numbress that never left them. ? He lost all control of the muscles ol that part of his body, and it was but a few weeks until he realized that his feet had become petrified, and for tba last year he has been unable tc walk. The rest of his body was somewhat affect ed, but not so much so, as the water had not snbmerged him. " Baking Bacteria Useful. Experiments have been carri sd on iu Germany by Drs. Hall, Kiegel, Notbe and others with tho view of ascertaining how the baoteria of the soil may bo rendered useful. Herr Notbe has succeed in cultivating these bacteria on a large scale, and ho is convinced that the sowing of tho bac teria necessary for the assimilation of nitrogen and the successful cultiva tion of leguminous plants will make soils more productive which need them, and will do so in a cheaper and moro convenient way than the method of inoculating suitable earth, devised some years ago.-Scientific American. Most Abominable of Odors. Acetyline gas is believed to have ono of the most abominable odors devised by chemistry, a fact urged in its fa vor, as it can be detected at once when it escapes. M. Moissan, who discov ered it, says, however, that the pure gas, made from pure orystalized car bide of calcium, ha i an agreeable eth er io odor, which he has inhaled in small quantities without inconven ience. When the carbide is obtained with impure coal and lime, it may ocntain sulphides and phosphides of oaloium, and in thu.t case the stench is nauseous.-Boston Cultivator. The total assessed valuation of al) railroad property,! ucluding telegraph, Pullman and Wagner oais, in Ka>n? for 1896, is 359,1)1],535. INTERIOR FINISH, Architectural Beauty in the Inside ol' Inexpensive Houses. The wood finish and joiner work of a house puzzles many a man who con templates building. The estimates for the various styles of finish differ quite materially, and yet the matter i? one that cannot be settled off-hand by the question of price, as the owner wants to be sure that he will get sat factory rssults, for this is the one part of the hcuse that is abiding. He may change his outer walls, he may build addition.", he may alter his system of heating s.nd plumbing', bnt it is quite impossible to tear out the woodwork and replace it with another kind ; so tt behooves the man who is about to erect a house to give this subjeot tho* most careful attention and "be sure be is right before he goes ahead. " For cottages and small inexpensive houses, perhaps the best results are obtained by the use of cherry and pine, both in their natural colors. Bath woods harmonize well, and there are no violent contrasts whers the two are compelled to meet. The use of hard woods, like oak, ohestnut, or ash,for a few rooms, finishing the rest of the house in any soft wood, makes a con f rast that will always be displeasing to the critical eye. "Whitewood and bass wood are sometimes need, but these have no grain at all to speak of ; when stained, they are always vile ;. in natu ral finish they are not displeasing, but they are not to be com mended on ac count of their lack of durability. A PERSPECTIVE VIEW. li single dig from a carelessly used rook ing chair will gouge out a piece as ef fectively as a chisel. The one prime caution in the use of any wood is to avoid as much as pos sible machine work. The stair rail should be large and worked with sim ple curves. The balusters should be firm, of good size and plain. . Most cheap houses sin mainly in their man tels, generally being monstrosities built up of cheap machine moulding and tawdry turned spindles and rosettes. The line of a mantel should be 6imple, the general design should be severely plain, and if the size of the room will warrantit, it should be mas sive.^ The artistic eye of the architect '* -Af ni 66 *<ou cf desist; ir? ..".

When a girl I gave very little attention to my bair, and in conse inence it did not grow at all.

It is not generally known-probably because people do not stop to think that tho Cramps are obliged to carry in enormous amount of insurince on the vessels which are built in their shipyards for tho Government. No battleship has over started on her trial trip without being heavily insured, and when several vessels are in course of construction at ono time the sum amounts up into the milsons. Edwin S. Cramp is authority ~r the state ment that the company at one time carried $12,000,000 insurance on Gov ernment work. In fact it is said that the Cramps were obliged to go to Eng land in order to secure this amount of insnrance, owing to tho limitations o' the American companies.- Philadel phia Record.

The downfall of the balloon sleeve, says the New York Sun, is a source of rejoicing to husbands and brothers, as it removes one cause for nagging. "Don't spoil my sleeves !" is the cry which has been heard in the' land for a long time, but the merciful dispen sation which separates a man from his own wife and sister at dinner parties has afforded him brief periods of social pleasure, since smiles necessarily had to supplant the expression of irrita tion when the other woman's husband rumpled the precious sleeve.

Scald your bread jars twice a week, it keeps the mould away. If an article that has be:omo rusty is soaked in kerosene oil for some time the rust will become loosened ind come off very readily. Carpets may be kept clean by going over them once a week with a broom dipped in hot water, to which a little turpentine has been added. To kill roaches make a paste of flour, bot water and phosphorous, Hising aj half pint of paste and about six cents' worth of phosphorous. Place on small pieces ol' board, where the roaches some, and they will eat and die. A well-known medioal authority says in a recent work that cheese should bo eaton at least once a day, "It ia the most valuable animal food obtainable," he says, ''from two to three times as nutritious as tho same money value of ordinary meat." To prevent pie juice from running out in the oven make a little opening in the upper crust and insert a straw or little roll of white paper perpendic ularly. The steam will escape through it as through a chimney and ail the juice will be retained in the pie. Jellies made with gelatine ought always to be oovered, says a physician in the London Family Herald, as, when medioal men want to secure minute organisms for investigations, they ex pose gelatine to the air or where the germs axe, and it attracts and holds them. Candling eggs is the one infallible way to test them. This ia done in a dark room with a candle, gas, or elec tric light. When the ogg is held close to the light if fresh it will appear a? pinkish yellow, and if otherwise it will be dotted with opaque 6pots or be en tirely dark. When it is not convenient to bro? fish over an open fire it may Le nicely broiled in a very hot oven. Prepare the fish as for the usual method and lay it with the skin down on a piece; of oiled paper ia a roasting pan. Cook on the upper grate of the oven until browned, first rubbing it with butter and dusting with a little flour. Fine old lace which is not too soiled may be cleaned by laying it on a pa per thickly sprinkled with flour and magnesia. Cover with another sprink ling of flour and a layer of paper. Leave a few days and then shake the flour from the lace. Do not fold fine lace; lay it on strips of blue or simi lar paper and roll the lace and paper together. In making cream or lemon pies, r.-bora the crust requires to be baked before the filling is put in, an excel lent plan is to lay over the paste a piece of strong brown tissue paper, pleating it to fit the pie plate and com ing above the edge. Fill this with flour or meal and bake until the crust is done. Then the paper and contents may be lifted out. If flour is used it can be utilized afterward for thicken ing sauces and gravies. WK should obey tho voice of con science, oven though we she-ld stand alone.
