The Mistakes of Mothers.

Thousands of mothers slave, grow
prematurely old, forget and neglect Their
own accomplishments, and drag them
selves about as mere appendices
something between nurse and house
keeper to daughter too young
to realize or appreciate The
sacrifices made for her. 1t is every
PERSONS business to make morally
mentally, physically, all of themselve;
possible, and this settling down at thir
ty-fve and forty into an old woman
and taking back seat that the daught
ers may shine, is mistake, and defeat;
the very end sought. There's otter
altogether too much done for children
and the chief result is that of making
them helpless, dependent creatures
Mothers to-day are saying, 81 DOM
care for myself now, so that Effie OF
Nettie get their full quota of accom-
plishments," when if that mother went
on building herself up on the basis o.
her own matured experience, and ceas
ed to sink and absorb herself so com
pictely in Effie or Nettie the world with
which she came in contact might be
profted. Society needs matured wo.
men as live, potent factors, and the
shining should not be left entirely to
hedglings. Were there time and space
a word would be said here in this mat
ter for the old man, too, though he is
more apt to take care of himself.

THE new counterfeit silver dollar in
circulation is pronounced by the sub
treasury the best silver coin ever seen.
1t is beautifully made, and has slight
appearance of iron which is often found
in the genuine standard dollar. 1t is
silver plated, and acid does not affect
it unless the surface is scratched up.
The weight is the marvellous point in
the deception. The counterfeit as 1t
stands would pass in size easily, and It's
weight would not be detected on any
but fine scale. The date upon it is
1878.

BICYCLES.
Pittsburg Commercial.

The best English bicycle costs $40 to
$3.50, while American makes, equally
as good, will not cost more than $40
or $l15. The cheapest bicycles for
boys cost $l2 to S15. There are 3S1
different styles of bicycles, so experts
say, now actively in use. The bicycle
of 1881 is the combined product of the
ideas of four great nations. OF the six
ideas which are illustrated in the vari-
Gus component parts, France has con.
tributed TWO, England two, Germany
one and America one. The American
contribution or suggestion-that of the
rubber tire-is generally regarded as
practically the most valuable Of all.
This rubber tire enables the bicyclist
to accomplish the otherwise impossible
feat of running up hill. The rubber
tire has also been applied with success
to the wheels of doe-carts and other
vehicles.
