Travelling on the Bicycle.

Mr.. John A. Dean, of Worcester,
Mass, travelling agent for manufac-
turels' supplies firm, has adopted
unique mode OF locomotion-the bicycle

summer, visiting most of the manufac

iains. He then went through Western
Maine, back into New Hampshire, north
of the White mountains through
Northern Vermont down the western
side, crossing over TO the Connecticut
river, down the river valley, through
Massachusetts, to Hartford, Conn, and
Lack to Worcester via Springfield
| These joumeyings occupied five months,
out of which about twenty days mnst
lie taken for delays on the road, leaving
about 10 days of actual travel, averaging
at least thirty miles per day. making n
total OF $500 miles. Even in the
mountainous districts it was seldom
| that any number of miles of impossible
roads was found. Perhaps one mile in
fifteen, on an average, had to be walked,
and frequent runs of ten miles were
| made without dismount. From the
small number of days lost out of the
five months it will be seen that some
travelling must have been done in
stormy weather, and only when the
roads became very muddy from Il pro-
/ tracted storm was halt made necessary
All necessary samples and baggage We're
carried ON the machine, the most of the
! baggage being sent on ahead by rail,
however. Mr., Dean proposes to start
out again on similar trips next season.
He regards this means Of travel as en-
tirely practical, even in the rough re.
/ gions he passed through. He reached
places that would not have been discov'
cred from railroad, and actually ac'
complished the distance in less time
than could have been done by rail over
the same sections of country. The &C.
quaintance with the districts visited
obtained by this means of travel is val
liable also, and not the least of its ad
vantages is the healthful effect of the
exercise and air. A marked change il
Mr.. Deans appearance resulted from
this trip, and he states that he gained
twenty pounds in weight.

The Towers of Silence.

These towers, which are built III Il
compound ON the top of NIalabar Hill,
in the Island of Bombay, are six in
number, and overlook the sea, the oldest
being 800 years The internal arrange
ments of the towers are as follows. The
bodies ale placed in three separate cir
cles-the outer and larger one for men,
the middle one for women, and the
smallest for children. There is pit in
the centre, into which the bones are
thrown after the flesh is stripped off,
and paths to allow the priest to move
about The flooring gradually sinks TO
the centre to let the rain into the pits
from which it filters into the earth,
The towers vary in size from about
thirty to fifty feet in diameter, and eight
to fourteen in height.
This Parsee mode of disposing of the
dead seems to European minds very re-
voting. The body, after the religious
ceremony is performed in the temple
where the friends are assembled, is car
lied out and placed in one of the towers,
where it remains exposed to the elements
until the flesh is entirely eaten of, by
the crowds of vultmes which frequent
the place, in about one hour. When
the skeleton becomes dry, it is thrown
into the pit in the centre thus the rich
and poor meet together on one level OF
equality after death. When the pit be-
comes full of bones, they are taken out
and thrown into the sea, thus fulfilling
one OF the principal tenets of the Zorro
aster religion, "That the mother earth

Power of Habit,

1t is related ofQueen Louise, Of Prus-
sia, mother of the present Emperor Will
liam, that one of her frequent visitors, a
special friend of her husband, was an old
general called Kockeritz. This old sol
dier, after having dined with his royal
friends, always manifested at a certain
time peculiar nervousness and restless
ness, as if wishing to depart, while at other
hours of the day he was only too glad TO
stay and have friendly chat. But
after dinner he always showed this great
anxiety to go home. Louise was puZ-
zled at the old mans strange behavior,
and resolved to find out the cause.
She made inquiry of his steward, who,
after few questions, explained that the
old general had indulged for so many
long years in the habit of smoking a
long pipe after dinner that he could not
possibly do without it. The next time
the old general came to dine he exhibited
after the repast the same nervous
restlessness, and rose TO take leave
Whereupon Louise rose, too, and
said "Wait little, general; l want tC
show you something" She went into
the next room. On her return she helG

She Paid a Commission.

A Chicago merchant accompanied n
Milwaukee gentleman-an old friend
to his home, where he had been many
times a guest before. In a converse
ton with the charming daughter of
his host, he rallied her on her contin-
uance in a state of single blessedness.
She replied that none of the Milwau-
kee beaux were to her taste, and in
an indifferent way inquired if Chicago
had any nice young men disengaged.
Receiving an affirmative reply she re-

The Life Of an Actress.

AIr. Labouchere recently said in an
article in Truth on the London stage /:
Actresses live in world of their own.
They generally cxaggcrate every senti-
ment Their real life is tiuged with
their theatrical life, and Migh-wrought
melodrama becomes a second nature
to them. Few of them have a perfectly
sapo notion Of existence; they exist in
the feeling of the moment. They re
generally incapable of taking an inter
est in the ordinary occupatioEs of their
sex; at one moment they are in the
widest spirits, at another III the depth
of despair, and those with whom they
come in contact are alternately either
melodramatic villains plotting their
destruction, OF angelic beings that have
no existence out OF plays. If they are
asked why they love or hate, they insist
that they are endowed with Il peculiar
instinct, and this instinct they exalt as
something far superior to practical in,
telligence, and glory in being its sub
missiye slaves. There are certain quail,
tiles which go to make an actress, and
most of them go to make u lunatic.
All actresses are, of course, not neccs.
sarily mad, but ii were on Il jury i'm

feeling that nature had probably not
been lavish to her in that harmony Of
intellectual powers which produce
moral responsibility.

Some people think that justice ap-

to money transactions and dealings in
business. But that is very restricted
and imperfect view of what constitutes
justice. 1t lies quite as much in the

making and fulfillment of contracts.
