TEACHING Eli Bicycle Lessons Th. New Yo Emma is learniDg to ride the wheel, Everybody in the neighborhood knows that her name is Emma; they couldn't help knowing it unless they were deaf mutes. Charley is doing the teach ing; it doesn't require an ear trumpet to discover that his name is Charley. The lessons begin about 10 in the evening, when it is rainless, and last according to the endurance of the participants. A? that hour Brooklyn streets are pretty well deserted except in the down-town region. This is a side street up-town. It is paved with hard asphalt. If the asphalt were soft it would be one long bas-relief of varions portions of Emma's anatomy. Owing to the darkness the lessons are not visible; they make up for this lack by excess of audibility. Murmur, exclamation, protest, adjuration, ap peal, shriek, rattle, bump, crash, re crimination and occasionally objurga tion; that's the way Emma learns to ride the wheel. In the ears of the neighbornood, sometimes amused, sometimes sleepily indignant, sometimes mildly indiffer ent, the lesson pursues its cacophonous course something like this: "Now, then, are you all ready? Jump on.," "Waita minute. Ooo-oo-ooh! Don't let me go, ple-e-e-ease ! "All right; I've got you. Now you're off. Go ahead." "0, Charley, what makes it wabble so to-night? I know the saddle's on crooked." "No, it isn't, either. Fixed it on myself. Pedal faster. I'll keep alongside of you. That's it; you're doing nobly, Emma." "Ye-e-e-e-8, but I just know I'm going to fall off in a minute. Ow ! There's a treel" "Keep off the walk, then. The wheel wasn't built to climb trees with." "Don't make fun of me, Charley. It's perfectly hor- Ee-ee-ee-ee ! Ow ! Catch me quick! (A thump, followed by a gentle crash.) There, now, yon have done it !" "Well, if that isn't just like a girl ! Don't blame it on me because you can't indulge in the delights of con versation and keep your balance at the same time. You' might reserve your remarks till later." "You neeen't get so cross over one little fall. It didn't hurt you, I guess. You took good care to be out of the way. "If you'll map out a plan of your floppings I'll try to be on hand for each one. Here you are on with you again." (A brief respite.) "Now you're getting on first rate." "Yes, if you only wouldn't talk to me. It distracts my attention. Ouch! I'm getting wabbly again." "Steady. All right now?" "Thank you. Yes, I guess so." (A pause.) "Charley!" "Well ?" "Don't you think I'll know how to ride pretty well by next week?" (Rackety-whack-bang.) "No, nor next century. Hurt you?'r "No-o-o, not much. How did that curb get there ? I thought I was right in the middle of the street." "So you were, but while you were occupied in talking, the gutter slipped quietly out and barred your path. Bad 'habits these gutters around here have." "If you're going to be horrid and sarcastic I shall go in. I'd like to know if this is what you call teaching a girl to ride?." "God.knows it isn't!" "You're not making it any better by swearing, Charley." "It wasn't exactly a swear; just a sort of slip; due to stress of emotion. Anyway I'll beg your pardon and we'll start again." "This {time I'll be real venturous and go as far as the corner. Now watch me." "Beautiful,beautiful! Turnaround, now. Come on, turn around!" "Oh, I can't! The wheel won't go right. Catch me." " "Just in time that trip. You were all right until you let yourself get nervous. If you'd only make up your mind to it you could ride as well as anybody." "Do- you really think so? How dear of you ! But some way, just as I get my mind nicely made up, the wheel begins to cut up, and off I go." "Try it down this way for a change." "You'll keep along near r^e, won't you ?" "Yes, I'll be within reach to claim the remains if you meet your finish." "It isn't very comforting to have you talk that way. Oo-oo; don't make me talk." "I'll offer you a prize for ten seconds of consecutive silence, if you think it would have any effect." "Oh, dear! I hear something coming down the street. Cha-a-arley; what is it? A wagon?" "More likely to be that than a four masted schooner or a train of cars." IMA TO RIDE at Distract a "Whole orliood. rk Sun. "Oh-h-h-h-h-h! Help! Stop me, somebody! Stop your horse, Mr. Driver! Do-o-o-n't let him run over me! Oo-oo-oo-ee-ee-ee-wow!" "Stop it, Emma. You're not within a mile of the horse. Great snakes! she's barked another tree!" (There is heard the diminishing rattle of a ?vheel sliding down from the curb, mingled with faint pipings of terror.) "Did I run into him, Charley?" "If the .tree is a masculine growth, you certainly did." "I don't know what jTou mean. What became of.the horse? I must have hit him awfully hard. Is he dead ?" "Not unless he succumbed to heart disease. Last I saw of him he was breaking a record around the corner there. That siren whistle of yours finished him. Had enough of it for to-night, do you think ?" "If you're tired of my clumsiness you can go in the house. I shall stay hero until I have mastered this ma chine. My mind is made up." "That's more than your hair is. It's hanging seventeen ways for Sun day. As a model for a young person escaped from the embraces of a cyclone you'd draw a big salary." "Any mention of embraces doesn't come from you with a very good grace, considering that you haven't been near enough to hold me up J)ut once." "Oh, well; if I'd understood in the first place that this bicycle business was only a means to an end, of course-" "I'll never let you give me another lesson as long as I live! I'll go to a bicycle academy and learn." "Tell me which one and I'll send around word to pad the walls in ad vance. (A pause.) Why, Emma, you're not really getting angry, are you, I beg? Come, and we'll have another try. Up you go! Now shall I hold on to you?" "No; you shan't ! I don't want you to touch me. Let me go alone." "Of course, if you prefer it. There arc plenty of trees to keep you com pany, and you seem to have a predi lection for that kind of companion ship." "Whatever makes you so perfectly contemptible? You talk to me as if I were your sister. Oh]' (Whack ing!) "Hello! Off again? Hurt you?" "Yes, it did, and I'm glad of it. No; go away. I won't let you help me mount. I can do it myself." (Kattie, crash, thump.) "As a tender-hearted man who can't endure to see a dumb wheel mis used I feel bound to interfere. Come, Emma, I'm sorry I jollied you, but I thought you didn't mind that sort of thing." "I don't except when I'm trying to ride a wheel. Anything grates on my nerves then. Now, put me on, please." "Lean over to the other side. Hard ! Look out! Damn !" "Charley!" (with deep reproach.) "Beg pardon; but you can't expect a man to lose the better part of one shin without some mild observations." "Oh, I'm so sorry! Did it hurt you awfully?" "Not a case for the ambulance. That infernal pedal caught me with all your weight on it. Try it again, now." (A considerable pause.) "Oh-h-h-h-h! What shall I do? Here comes another bicycle. Take me off, Charley." "There isn't anything coming. Go ahead." "Yes, there is, I see the light. I shall run into it; I know I shall if you don't get me oft'. Charley, where are you?" "All right. I'm coming. Heavens and earth ! Don't swoop that way. Look out! Turn to your right." (Thumpety-thump, bang, rattle, crash.) "Oh, dear. Ia that you I ran into, Charley? How did I do it?" "Unusual ingenuity in the murder ous management of a wheel. Will you kindly explain what it was you were dodging when you turned on your own axis and made a wreck of me and my trousers? I may possibly be of some use again, but they never will. Did you see a ghost?" "It was a wheel. Didn't you see it? The light was wabbling all over the road. I never could have dodged it in the world, even if my wheel didn't always make straight for what ever I want to avoid." "All wheels do that, but all riders don't see imaginary lights in the act of running them down. Must be a new bicycle ailment." "Look, look, Charley, there it is now ! Don't you see it ? Oh, it's gene. No; there it is again. Can't you see it?" "Young woman, is that the thing that terrified you into making an un provoked assault; on an inoffensive citizen whose only crime has been to abet you in a course of wholesale destruction? Is it? Tell me without delay." "When you talk that way I never know whether you're fooling or not. Of course, that was it; that light. Now I don't see it. Yes, there it is again. How strange!" "Not so strange to one who under stands the habits of the ponderous and bloodthirsty firefly. I shall take you home at once before you collide with one of them and are utterly de stroyed. Come; mount. I'll support your tottering revolutions as far as the asphalt lasts. Sufficient unto the night is the evil thereof." (A long pause. Then, in the distance, the gentle impact of one alighting from a wheel.) "To-morrow night, then, if its pleasant ?" "Oh, it's bound to be pleasant. The excitement assures that. Ves, I'll be around at the usual time." And here endeth tho 'steenth lesson, with probabilities of 'steen more to follow, while the neighbors listen and wait and wonder if Emma will ever reward the patience of her Charley by really learning to ride or the forbear of themselves by changing her practice ground to some other block. Fever and Canned Salmon. "The fever that a lot of the boys will get over in Cuba, if they are not mighty careful in their way of living, need not necessarily be yellow to give ;em a hard tussle for their lives," said an ex-sailor of the United States navy, now living in Washington. "There's a plain, old fever down there that had a lot of the men aboard my ship guess ing when ^ e spent a couple of weeks in Havana harbor six years ago. I had a good cha.ice to oize up the bad breaks I'd made through life myself, for I was one of the first of the crew to be carried into the sick bay with the fever. I had put in both of my previous enlistments on the Mediter ranean station, and consequently I was not used to feverish climates. I had never been in the genuinely low latitudes and hot waters before we put into Havana harbor on this cruise, on our way to the South Atlantic station. We hadn't been swinging to our mud hook in Havana's filthy harbor for twelve hours before I began to feel tottery around the knees, and in the middle of the same nigut the two men who swung their hammocks next to mine pounded me awake. They told me I had been raving in my sleep. I was too weak to fall out of my ham mock, and one of the men went aft and got the surgeon. I was carried aft to the sick bay, pretty flighty in the head, and the surgeon told me I had the fever. "'Yellow?' I asked him. " No,' said he, 'you've got a plain, every day case of fever, and your tem perature's 106 in the shade. You're in for a dose all right, and you want to mind the apothecary and do every thing he tells you to do.' "There were three or four more fel lows alongside me that had also been taken to the sick bay with thc fever, and one of 'em was delirious. During the next couple of weeks about two dozen of the crew crowded the sick bay and the alleyways, all down with the plain fever. It was about as hot a feeling as I ever jxperienced, but after the fourth day I went out of my head. I didn't come to for two weeks, and then the apothecary told me that four of the men had died alongside of me, and that my squeak was one of the narrowest. I went down from 180 to 15i5 pounds. I began to convalesce as soon as I got my head back, and I was as hungry as a wolf. But they wouldn't feed me anything but beef tea, mutton broth and that sort of stuff. I got so I hated the thought of these things./ I wanted solids, and I wanted 'em bad. But the apothecary told me they would kill me if 1 atc 'em. " 'All right, my boy,' 1 thought af ter he told me this one day, 'I'm not going to die hungry, anyhow, not by a d-m sight." and I watched for a good chance to sneak something to eat. My opportunity came one evening when all hands, including the apothecary, were on the main deck at evening quarters. The sick bay wasn't far from the mess table of thc chief pet ty oflicers. and thc supper was smok ing hot on thc table, awaiting the re turn below of the men from quarters. I toppled out of my cot and crawled to thc mess table on my bauds and knees. Then I dragged myself to a mess stool. lu the centre of the ta ble was a fine, big mound of canned salmon, swimming in a platter of nice ly prepared cream gravy. Well. I jabbed a spoon into that, and I guess I must have eaten about four pounds of it before there was a clattering on the ladders, and the chief petty offi cers collared me. The apothecary looked at me and then at thc dish, and he went white. Ile rushed aft and told the surgeon what I had done. I was toted to thc sick bay, and the sur geon came alongside my cot. "My boy,' said he, 'have you got any messages you want to leave ?' "Nothing in particular,' I said, pickiug my teeth comfortably. I felt immense. 'Why ?' " 'Because you're a dead man, .'.aid thc surgeon. " 'Oh, I guess not,' said I. 'I've got no kick a-coming, anyhow. I've had a feed.' " 'You'll be dead in an hour,' said the apothecary after the surgeon went out. "Well, I felt out of sight from that time on, and I began to mend so rap idly that the surgeon was nonplussed. " There's no precedent for it,' said he. 'Canned salmon-a man with a temperature of 102 eating half a plat ter full of canned salmon ! What the devil's he made of, 1 wonder ?' "I was smoking my pipe atthegang I way ten days after I ate that salmon." - Washington Post. All Sorts of Paragraphs. - One of thc newest baby boys in Kansas is named Dewey Hobsou .J ohn son. He carries a heap of honorable distinction for one of his age. - He-"They say Walter is the bestshot in the country." She-"Well I don't believe it.

Evans Pharmacy. - The most wonderful astronomi cal photograph in the world is that which has recently been prepared by London, Berlin and Parisian astrono mers. It shows at least 68,000,000 stars. - Hazen-I like to see a man stick by his friends. Now, for instance, if a man told you I was an ass, you would not join right in with him, would you? Dilby-No, sir; I'd rebuke him. I'd tell him that the truth should not be spoken on all occasions. - Thc recovery of many of the wounded at Santiago is attributed to the bits of antiseptic gause, known as surgeon's sponges, which were distrib uted among thc soldiers for immediate application in case of being wounded. These are sterilized and saturated with bichloride of mercury, which is a strong antiseptic and prevented the formation of pus or gangrene later. - When an ostrich is preparing to hatch she scratches a hole in the ground about the size of a bushel bas ket. Eggs are then laid day after day and arranged around the hole. When twenty-one are laid thc bird kicks them into thc hole, and at night sits on them. The male bird performs this duty in the daytime, thus permitting his partner to obtain exercise. One Minute Cough Cure surprises peo ple by ita quick cures, and children may take it in largo quantities without the least danger. It has won for itself tho best reputation of any preparation used to-day for colds, croup, tickling in the throat or obstinate coughs. Evans Phar macy. - "What nonsense!" exclaimed the proud young father, as he flung his book aside. "To what do you refer?" asked the friend who welcomed any topic that did not lead to a descrip tion of phenominal children. "This statement that all men were born equal. It's an utter fallacy. Why, my baby weighed ten pounds when it was born, and Tackley's weighed only seven and a half." - A few days ago while sawing into a pine log at Lambert's saw mill in Florence, a curious relic was found, in thc shape of an old flint and steel rifle. The log had a hollow in the butt of it and in the hollow was found the rifle. When it was placed there is not known. The tree was a large one and it must have been very mauy years ago. The tree was felled in thc forest land of Mr. J. Robert Muldrow, about three miles below Florence. - Guy C. Lee, a student in one of Wisconsin's universities, has started in a cauoe from Madison. Wis., to Brazil. He crossed Lake Monona, and followed the Yahara south to the Hock river, through which he will pass to the Mississippi, thence to New Orleans and across thc Gulf of Mexico and Carribcan sea. The rest of the trip lies along thc south Atlantic coast to Rio Janicro. - A case was recently tried in one of our courts about the soundness of a horse, in which a clergyman, not con versant with such matters, appeared as a witness. He was a little confused in giving his evidence, and a bluster ing lawyer, who examined him. at last exclaimed, "Pray, sir. do you know the diff?rence between a horse and a cow?" "I acknowledge my ignorance," replied the witness. "I hardly know the difference between a horse and a cow, or a bully and a bull-only that a bull, I am told, has horns, and a bully (bowing with mock respect to the pettifogger,) luckily for me, has none." "You may retire, sir," said the lawyer; "I've no more questions to ask you." Truth wears well.

Evans Pharmacy. - The largest egg is that of the ostrich. lt. weighs three pounds, and is considered equal in amount to 34 hen's eggs. Popularity of Soldiers. There is uo record so conductive to popularity as a military record. The heroic always appeals to the general heart, and especially so obvious and dramatic an expression of it as the career of a successful soldier. Thc American people, though they have been devotea to the arts of peace rather than to the arts of war, have ever reserved the chief place in their regard for their most heroic defenders, They have never engaged in a conflict of any magnitude without making a leading general of it their President. They made George Washington Presi dent because of what he did in the revolution. They made Andrew Jack son President because of the first Seminole war and his victory at New Orleans. They made William Henry Harrison President because of Tippe canoe, and his services in the war of 1812 as the commander of the army of the northwest. They made Zachary Taylor President because of Buena Vista, where he vanquished Sa ita Anna though out numbered four to one. They nominated Winfield Scott for President because of his eminence as a soldier, and, though defeated, his defeat was compassed by Franklin Pierce, who had served in the Mexi can war as a general officer. They made Ulysses S. Grant President be cause he crushed the rebellion. It is said that William Tecumseh Sherman would hav3 received a Presidential nomination but for his refusal to allow his name to be considered. Hancock, a soldier, was defeated for the Presi dency, but by Garfield, a soldier. Who can doubt, if there should be another war, history would repeat itself? Surely some officer of the army or some officer of the navy, now comparatively unknown, would be the hero of it, and would for a time over shadow in public interest everybody else, however prominent in civil walks. A war with Spain now would be likely to end just about thc right time to make the victorious chief a candidate for the Presidency in 1900. If there be any one who has been hoping that he may be elected or nominated two years hence, doubtless he has not failed to think of this. - A Kansas correspondent at Chick amauga says the Arkansas regiment camped near the Kansas troops fur nishes lots of fun for all observers Ile recites the case of one of their cap tains who, instead of giving the order, "Tn two ranks, from company!" shout ed, "In two rows, like corn!" and then, in place of the order, "Fours right!" commanded, "Now swing like a gate!" - It has been found that the X-ray shines througn a fox-terrier as if he were a Chinese paper lantern. The experiment was tried upon an animal of this species which had swallowed a diamond ring, the trinket appearing in his midst as visible as a fly in am ber or a gold fish in a glass globe. All the dog family will do well to lay the lesson to heart and take caro what they swallow. Foul-Smelling Catarrh.. Catarrh is one of the most obstinate diseases, and hence the most difficult to get rid of. There is but one way to cure it. The disease is in the blood-, and all the ?prays, washes and inhaling mixtures in the world can have no permanent effect whatever upon it. Swift*s Spe cific cures Catarrh permanently, for it is tho only rea?edy which can reach the disease and force it from thehlood. Mr. B. P. McAllister, of Harrodsburg, Ky., had Catarrh for years. He writes: "I oould flee no improvement whatever, though I was constantly treated with sprays jgfiBfflftw. ?nd washes, aud dlffer ^??BMOk eut inhaling remedies ff BA. in fact. I could feel that H Smm. each winter I was Worse EL tiHn tfaan tno yoar previous. flffijBSfoa TBSF "Finally it was Bp Tsr* a>p?> brought to my notice KuL*\ flff that Catnrrhwas a blood ??SraA .Jy disease, and after think H5*r?? yr lng over the matter.

I advise all who have this dreadful disease to abandon their localtreatmcnt.which lias never done them any good, and'take S. S. S.,a rem edy that can reach the disease and cure it." To continue the wrong treatment for Catarrh is to continue to suffer. Swift's Specific is a real blood remedy, and cures obstinate, deep-seated diseases, which other remedies have no effect whatever upon, lt promptly reaches Catarrh, and never fails to cure even the most aggravated cases. S.S?B!ood is Purely Vegetable, and is the only blood remedy guaranteed to contain no dangerous minerals. . Books mailed free^ by Swift Specific Company, Atlanta, Georgia. LOST_STOCK.
