A Punctured Tire. OU can find my de scription in any of the little books dis tributed by our firm, and should you look it up, you will dis cover that my picture occupies the place of bouor on tne second page under the heading, in large, black letters, “A High Grade Ladies’ Wheel,” the high frade, of course, applying to me and |io£ to the ladies. 1 defy any one to produce a more perfect specimen of the bicycle kind than I was when 1 left the manufacturers’ on a beautiful May morning just two months ago. They were proud of mo at the shops; indeed, 1 think thero was something about my graceful framj^nd polished enamel finish that made fiie stand out as one apart from the thousands of Other wheels around me. The first journey I took was when I loft my na tive city and was shipped with many companions to Washington. 1 liked this beautitul Capital City of yours, and longed for a spin on the smooth asphalt pavements, but it seemed for a time that I was doomed to disappointment. I was taken to the bicycle school, where I spent most of my days watch ing the strange antics of beginners, the earnest efforts of those who had taker several lessons, and the lofty, though sometimes uncertain, air of the ones almost ready to ride in the street. In all of this I had bo part, I was a new wheel, and must wait quietly un til purchased. Sometimes my indig nation would be aroused by the rough treatment bestowed upon the poor old machines, on which the beginners were taught, by their inexperienced riders. How they slammed those wheels around 1 Why, olten I have seen the ground strewn with riders with the overturned wheels under neath them. Sometimes, though, the 'wheel got on fop, and then the rider usually was hurt a little. Thin again, some few of the wheels who had not quite lost all their spirit would get tired of the endless jerking and clntch- Jmg, and spin around the track until the scholar beonme paralyzed and help less with fear, and then plunge through an open gate or up a brick wall, with the rider screaming: “Instructor! In^tructjr! gelp 1” Those were risky tricks, though, for you stood an oven chance of getting hart yourself. Day after day I watched these sights until I was weary of it all, and beyond making a firm resolution to throw my self down a precipice before descend ing to such work, I did nothing for several weeks. At last one beautiful morning—I remember well it was May 19—the manager of the place came in the park, accompanied by a very pretty girl and an older lady whom I took to bo_the girl’s mother. They came over to the rack in which I stood, and drawing mo out he said: “Here is exactly what you want, miss; there is not a finer wheel in the city. Look at that frame, good and strong, beantifut'y finished. Light weight, just lift it, not twenty-five pounds, all the bearings turned from tool steel—” The girl’s pretty face was a study as she looked up and down in an anxious effort to fiud the different parts to which the manager referred so glibly. “1 like it,” she said at length, “don’t you, mother? You see,” turn ing to the man, “I have been about a month trying to buy a wheel. I thought it would be quite easy, but we have had a dreadful time. Besides having gone to abont twenty places ourselves we have had at least thirty agents, who heard we wanted a wheel”, come after us, and the roost puzzling part of it all is that each one says all the others are perfectly worthless. So mother and I made np oar minds to give them all the slip, and that is why we came hero this morning. Let us take this wheel, mother.” The mothop approached me, tried to look critics^ gave me a gentle shake, and said: “Well, it ^oms to be a good strong one. 1 do hope you won’t have any •ccidents.” That vejjp afternoon I was sent to my new hon*3, a magnificent brown- atone on Connecticnt avenue, and im a few days I knew all abont the family, for gossip is (life in the servants’ hall, in a little room adjoining which 1 was kept. My young iightress was named lies- eie iiainbridge, she was the only—and needless to any overindulged—child of wealthy parents, and jnst now, of course, she was suffering from a bad case of biojele fever. Almost every evening after dark the devoted father and mother would sit oat on the porch and watch Bessie and me struggle up and down the street. A yoang friend of hers was teaching her to ride, and of all patient and de voted instructors that handsome man took the lead. He was a nice fellow, too, and never seemed too hot or tired to invent suitable answers to the par ents’ endless questions as to why Bes sie couldn’t ride along like the other girls did, and what made the wheel wobble so, wasn’t something the mat ter, tad hadn’t they,better go back to the man and complain, and was ha sure there was no danger. The last time Bessie had run into tie tree box it looked from where they sat as though she might have had a serious fall if he hadu’t caught her iu time. As I say, he was wonderfully pa tient, for Bessie, to tell the truth, was very stupid and had a silly little way of grabbing one of my handle bars tightly and throwing all her weight on that same side, which was enough to make any self-iespecting wneel tarn her over in the gutter. I must con fess I did this numberless times, and also played a tew other little tricks on her, one of which—turning into the pavement when the rider is trying to mount and turn you out—is a great favorite among the ladies’ wheels. Later on, however, I got to like Bessie, who was as clever oft' a wheel as she was stnpid on, and Bob, as they called the young man, was my friend from the first. So in about a week we began to make a most harmonic us trio, and then Bob would bring bis own wheel around, and that made pleasant com pany for me. One thing I objected to from the first, and Bob agreed with me I think, was a friend of Bessie’s who came to the honse almost every night and sat with her parents calmly sipping some cool drink, and encouraging us by calling out from time to time how each an I each a thing might be avoid ed, or how to act under certain cir cumstances. Then he would add to the comfort of the parents by a low remark to the effect that “Bob Rich ards didn’t know a thing about a wheel,” and sometimes he would keep Bessie’s courage up by promising to take her for some long rides as soon as she had mastered the wary bicycle. I didn’t like him and Bob didn’t, and ges'ie—welf, we couldn’t tell about her. I only know {iffer we h put in an bourns exhausTTng Tabc would get off to rest, and, leaving Bob to see to me, would ruu up the steps to ask if Mr. Meredith didn’t think she was doing better, and wasn’t it en tirely Bob’s fault that she fell over that last time; she thought he had hold of the wheel, and when she found he hadn’t; of course she fell off. and it was a mean trick to play her! And then the whole party berated poor Bob, whose sole offence seemed to bo a desire to fasten her progress. Bob never would say a word in his own behalf, but I used to even up matters by going very carefully whqn I felt him let go, until Bessie wonll cry out in delight, “Oh, look at me! I am riding beautifully!” and Mr. Meredith would say languidly, “Bravo! Now remember what I told you about the pedals.” Aud then I would lose my temper aud stop sud denly in a bit of mud, aud off would o Bessie before you could say Jack obinson. She didn’t know a thing about mak ing herself mistress of a wheel. All she wanted was to sit on and ride. She was one of those girls who will never manage anything unless, may be, a husband. “Allthings come to him who waits!” And so at length Mr. Meredith, who had been doing the waiting to perfec tion, had Bessie come to him with the glad news that she coaid ride splendid ly now, and couldn’t they make np some parties and go out on the road. Then wd had several very pleasant rides. Occasionally there would be quite a crowd, bat very often wo went only font, Bessie with Mr. Meredith and Bob relegated to her chum, a Miss Grey, who really was a beautiful rider. I did not like this arrangement, as Mr. Meredith rode one of those gandy, conspicuous affairs that no really nice wheel would wish to be seen with in the street, but Bessie aud I were quite friendly abont that time, and 1 was trying to please her by giving as little trouble as possible. Before long Bessie became con vinced of the idea that she was a fam ous rider, and suggested that we all take a trip to Cabin John Bridge. I heard Bob advise her to try a shorter run first, but then Mr. Meredith came up aud said it would be delightful, nud of course Miss Bessie could do it easily; there wasn't a better rider in the city, and ho fixed on the next day for the trip. The next day dawned clear and warm,and wesat oat about I.oUo’clock. I must admit that Bessie looked as pretty as a picture iu her dainty suit, with its many buttons and jaunty cap. Before we started Bob came up to me, as he always did, to see that all my parts were secure and firm, and that no pebbles or bits of dirt were scratch ing against my chain. He did not look particularly pleased over the trip, and indeed I folly agreed with him that it was far too long for Bessie to attempt. At length we were spinning merrily along. I was determined to act my best, so took the lead, with that circus wheel of Mr. Meredith’s, leaving Bob and Miss Grey to follow. All went well for about four miles, and then Bessie began to weaken. She wastired, very tired, as I could easily tell by the feeble way she pushed on my ped als, bnt she was determined not to give after jo\on. np before Mr. Meredith, and own Bok ; right, oh, no. Suddenly she gave a cry, something j between a gasp and a scream. “Oh, i look—in front of us—&ee that drove of cows!” ‘They won’t hurt yon,” said Mr. Meredith, in a superior way. “Corns on.” “But my wneel -it always—always shies at cows,” gasped poor Bessie. Mr. Meredith’s lip curled. “I real ly can’t face those cows,” said Bessie again, between gasps. “Lelia come and ride in front—then you aud Mr. Meredith can run into them first!” I gladly slowed up in pursuance of this idea, for Bessie was too tired to have the slightest control over me, and dropped behind with Bob. “Bessie, you are tired to death,” he exclaimed injudiciously. “I’m not,” replied Bessie, furicus at once. “But I’m afraid of those cows; wait till you see how this wheel shies!” “Keep it pointed straight and I be lieve it will go by all right,” ssid Bob soothingly. “Let us get off and rest, I am as tired as—” “No. I won’t get off; I’m not a bit tired.” “Tatte the centre of the road then,” said Bob, as we neared the meek- looking cows. “They can’t hart you, I’m on their side; don’t go np on that path or you’ll get a puncture sure.” That gave mo au idea. Bessie was tired out and too proud to own it. She would certainly fall off if she did not get down in a few minntes. A puncture would be an excellent exenso for resting. Then, again, sho had said twice that I shied at cows—well, I would make her words true. Without farther hesitation T ran down a little incline in the road and made for the by path Bob had warned ns of. Crunch, cruncb, biff! A silvery feeling along my tire, an agonizing cry from Bessie. “Oh, Bob! Bobl Look; I told you!” In a moment Bob was beside us and had lifted her to the ground. “Yoar tire is punctured,” he said briefly. “Wait a minute, let me think what to do." I (felt a personal interest in the affair, so let my breath go oat as slow ly as possible, until at length Bob said: “I have it!” and pulling out his knife he ripped a puncture in his own tire that pnt mine to shame. Then he shouted to Meredith and Miss Grey, who came flying back. “What is the matter?” they cried. “We both got in a bad bit here,” said Bob, “and have punctures in con sequence. Will you two ride on to Cabin John and send something $fter us£J. “Yes. I guess we had better go No use of our losing the ride, you know,” said Mr. Meredith, but Miss Grey would not agree to that, so th^y finally decided to ride back to Bessie’s home and send the carriage after h^r. And then off they went, and Besme, who was ntCerly exhausted, began! to cry a little, and Bob foam! a cooing place under the trees and was tr; to comfort her, mnoh to my inter* when I suddenly discovered that I slipping from where Bessie had i curely stood me up beside a tree. Down, down 1 went, nntil see! nice, soft spot I fell over on my and lay there contentedly for an.h 0 ii r - I was aroused by Bob’s voice bailing a farmer driving by in a wagoD.f After some talk the farmer agreed to take them in town. “Why, where is your wheel?” I heard Bob say. “Isn’t it against that big tree? 1 pnt it there about ten minutes ago,” said Bessie, and her voice sounded strangely happy. Then Bob went looking round nntil he found me, and having ascertained that beyond the deflated tire I had no injuries, he packed mo with his own wheel in the cart and then he and Bessie climbed in by ns. As we drove slowly toward town 1 heard Bob say in a low voice: “We will have to get a tandem, now, Bessie, dear,” and she answered: • “Yes, Bob, bnt do you know I like this wheel of mine and want to keep it always even—with a smile—if it does sbyatgowe.” ——*•-» — Xnd Bob laughed happily and said, “We will always keep it and it shall have a brand new tire to morrow.” “How about your own?” asked Bessie, with a twinkle in her eye. “Mine shall have a new tire, too,” said Bob. “I feel like giving presents to everything and everybody, I am so perfectly happy, Bess." Then in the early twilight of a sum mer’s evening we all drove into Wash ington together.—Washington Post. Cure for Scandal. Here is a care for a terrible disor der of the month, commonly called “scandal:” “Take of ‘good nature’ one ounce; of a herb, called by the Indians ‘mind yonr business',’ one ounce; mix these with a little ‘charity for others,’ and two or three sprigs of ‘keep your toueue between your teeth.* Application : The symptoms are a vio lent itching of the tongue and of the month, which iuvaribly taken place while you are in company of a species of animals called gossips; when you feel a fit of it coming on take a spoon ful of the mixture, hold it in yonr mouth, which you will keep closely shut till yon get home, and you will find a complete cure.

Unlike that nltra- fashionable disorder, appendicitun, it is not an expensive malady, nor do we have to go to a hospital and have a surgical operation performed to be oared. The disease has been called Astrophobia, and persons suffering from it are human barometers, so to speak. They prophesy the weather and can predict without error twenty- four hours beforehand the approach of a northeast storm. Before a rising thunder squall they are miserable be ings. There are those indeed who are utterly prostrated before and daring a thunderstorm, and some are even thrown into spasms. It has long been known that insects and certain domestic animals become aware of approaching changes in the weather. They understand the her alds of coming storms, not from ntual observation,but through their nervous system. Insects fly close to tho ground before a storm and birds fiy low to catch them. Turkeys will sniff the air and seek cover long before a coming change in the atmosphere, and, indeed, make considerable fuss abont it, too. While this quality of i iremonition is general among the ower animals, it does not, with them reach the perfection attained with some afflicted human beings, those with abnormally sensitive organiza tions, delicate systems and nerves at- tunea to every physical impression. It is to the presence of electricity in the atmosphere and its variable effect npon the nerves of these sensi tive subjects that may bo attributed their unenviable power of foretelling the weather and the disordered state of their systems when storm condi tions are present.—Washington Star. The Largest Described Snake. Speke, in his narrative of the jour ney to the source of the Nile, de scribes the largest suake that has ever been seen by man. “I shuddered,” he says, “as I looked upon the effect of his tremendous dying strength. For yards aronnd where he lay grass, bushes and saplings, in fact every thing except fall-grown trees, were cut clean off, as if they bad been rimmed with au immense scythe. The monster, when measured, was fifty-one feet two and a-balf inches in extreme length, while aronnd the thickest por tions of its body the girth was nearly three feet.” A Boral Explorer. According to the Swedish journals, William IL and the Empress of Ger many intend during the coming year to take a long jonrney to the polar regions.
