Sport. _ -" * An English sta t?st?dan nas figured out the comparative cost per mile of tyl&?i ind as this is about the first tiffie this has been done it will be of Interest to wheelmen generally. He States: "I have now the records of four machines. The first was a cheap pri? vate make. It looked very smart in the shop and was of the kangaroo pattern. ' The second, third and fourth ~were all pear driving-, solid tired safeties, all bjT the same makers. Machine No. 1 Bought new September, 18S6; sold 1888; retained twenty months; original cost, complete, ?11 6s.; miles ridden, Soi; actual cost per mile, a?te? deducting fcHce realized on sale, 2.?l?sd?- .Machine No. 2-Bought new April, 1888; sold February. 1890; retained twenty-two months; original cash cost, including accessories* ?15 9s.; miles ridden, 3,303; actual cost per mile, deducting cash realized from sale, l.OSOd. Machine No, S-Bought new March, 1890; sold ; October, 1890; retained seven months; ! orignal cost ?16-Ss.; miles ridden, 3,105; j actual cost per mile, 0.723d. Machine Ka 4-Bought new March, 1801; sold October, 1892; retained nineteen months; cost, ?1712s.; miles ridden, $,433; cost per mile, l.OOld. The above speaks for itself. The cheap machine *(KOL 1) was the most expensive. It was always under repair, so that while it cost me cash for repairs, I lost its serv? ices at the same time. My third ma titifcfce ookt at the end of the first sea *son=*e3mes out the cheapest at about ~)?d per mile. Machine No. 4 merely -confirms the figures in regard to No. 2. One penny per mile is the third-eic ss parliamentary railway fare, but that is what my riding cost exclusive of per? sonal expenses while cycling." CLEVER HOSTESS AND GUEST. Bow tho former learned tb? Name of Ose of Her Lad j Visitors. Mildred Aldrich tells in the Mahogany Tree of a very clever way in which two Well-known literary women of Boston -uncaped from a dilemma. It was in Boston's best known if not only literary salon. The hostess approached a dear 'friend and amusedly whispered in her ear: "My dear Lillian, I am in a dread .fol dilemma. There is a woman here with whose face I have some special as? sociation, and yet I cannot call her name or recall where I met her. I am possessed with the idea that I especial? ly Invited her. I am going to introduce .you to her and you must find out her name.** The hostess and her friend ap? proached the guest. The hostess said, in her nicest way, addressing the stranger: *'I want you to knorr my dear friend, Miss-,*' and turned and left them. The two women chatted a few moments, and, when the hostess again approached them, the friend ad? dressed her over her shoulder with "I am going to take-" Then she hesi? tated, looked perplexed, and said to the guest: "Will you forgive me? I did not quite catch your name.** Of course the guest supplied the missing name, and the friend continued to the hostess: "I sm going* to take. Mrs.-in to get a cap of ter," Tes, do, Lillian,** said the hostess; and the two women ex? changed gratified and relieved smiles. THE SUN AND THE STARS. Astronomy Now Claims That the Two Bodies Are About the Same. The sunfa^astar, and the stars are ams^^Th^fact^3?~fe?on a familiar one to astronomers for man^yeara^ says the Gentleman's Magazine. That the stars shine by their own inherent light and not by light reelected from another body, like the planets of the solar sys? tem, may be easily proved. That many of them at least are very similar to our own sun, is clearly shown by several considerations. Three facts prove this conclusively. .First, their great intrinsic brilliancy compared with their small apparent diameter, a diameter so small that tho highest powers of the largest tele? scopes fail to show them as anything but mere points of light without meas? urable magnitude. " Second, their vast distance from the earth, a distance so great that the diam? eter of the earth's orbit dwindles al ;most to a point in comparison. This accounts satisfactorily for the first fact. Third, the spectroscope-that unerring instrument of modern research-shows that the light emitted by many of them ds very similar to that radiated by the sun. Their chemical and physical constitu? tion is, therefore, probably analogous to that of our central luminary. The red stars certainly show spectra differ? ing considerably from thc solar spec? trum, but these objects arc compar? atively rare and may, perhaps, be con? sidered as forming exceptions to the .general rule. VT i ve? of the Presidents. Three of the first four presidents of the United States married widows. Thc wife of John Quincy Adams, who received her education in England, cre? ated a great sensation in the nation's capital The wife of Martin Van Buren, Hannah Hoes, lived but a short I time after her marriage, dying about seventeen years before her husbriiy: s election to the presidency. President j Tyler's second wife was an ardent Ro- j man Catholic and Mrs. Polk a calm mannered Presbyterian. Mrs. Millard j Fillmore had been a school-teacher and j thc coxirtship was carried on under dif- j ficulties, as the lover could rarely afford j the expense of a journey to visit his I fiancee. Mrs. Franklin Pierce was the j devout <Iaug-hter of a clergyman and j made the white house a center for j charitable and religious enterprises. A Queer Cl ob.

Editor of The Nows ?n? ?ottri?r : A short time since ? pitt! ii Visit to a section of th* country with which I was once ??ry familiar, bat for some years ffc?ve not seen it, so I was abie to realize the ohaoges that came over these lands io a few years. At one time I regarded that section as the best in the country, bot it is not Bo oow I saw bat few terraces, to which I attribute most of the great waste of gcod mate* ria! ; most t)f the fields looked as if the .raffs had been pretty well laid off, and DOW and then there was a ditch, bot instead of these ditches protecting the land they seem to famish an outlet for the soil to. escape to the botttoms and branches. I believe that if pro? perly terraced ten years ago these lands would be worth 50 per ceut more than they are to-day. The farmer that oegleots to terrace every field that he ploughs is certainly behind the times and blind to his own best interest. It was thought at one time that ditches and horizontal rows would prevent mach of the iujsry done to rolling lands by heavy raios.but it was Boos proven that it r< quired the terrace, hence we adopted that plan, imperfectly at first, but I tbiuk wc have it about right now ; at any rate the washes cease tc damage ns as heretofore. We now try to keep the terrraces high enough to bold all but the flooding rains. Heretofore we left open the ends of our rows, so that the surplus water might escape ; now we terrace the end9 so as to force the water in, or to break over all around the level terrace This saves all showers, and even the big rains leave a deposit of soil filtered from the water before there is enough to overflow the terrace, which ie injured but little by an over? flow after the grass and weeds get a good hold on it. We try to have the ploughing perfectly level, which can be done well enough for ail practical purposes by laying four row? below and four above alternately until the space between the terraces is laid off It requires care and judgment to lay off terraces. When dooe properly they should never be changed, but built up when necessary, and they will save your laud. J. Washington Watts. Killed with a Fitch Fork. Mr J L Poag lust a fine mule by a singular accident Thursday. A pitchfork, which some of his hands had used in scattering mentir?, was left in the field and the mule in turning the plow at the end of the row run its foot between the prongs. In raising up its foot to extricate it, the handle nf the fork being short, one of prongs struck in it just behind the front legs, the point reaching the heart. The boy that was plowing removed the fo k and started with the mule to the lot but it died on the way.-Lancaster Ledger. Wade Hamproo has spoken against the Dispensary law.

'mm That Black List of Gov. Till? man. I asked Governor Tillmao about the celebrated black list that bas been gen? erally attributed to him and asked him if he cared to say anything about the mach discussed matter. His only reply was : "All that I want to say I will give in a reply to inquiries about Mr. Donaldson, which I will 5x op as soon as I have time." From the manner in which Governor Tillman made the remark the chances that the answer to the Greenville Coun? ty Alliance will be given to the press aod theo the much discussed blacklist? ing will be settled.
