The Bicycle.

The bicycle, in conception, dates back
to the early part of the present century,
being lneal descendant OF the cetetire,
or speed maker, invented by Baron Won
Drais, of Mannheim ON the Rhine, in
1916. The Baron was a landscape gar
dener, and invented the machine as an
aid in travelling in the discharge of his
duties. 1t was very little like the bi-
cycle of the present day, being propelled
by the feet operating not on the wheel,
but on the giound. The first machine
propelled by cranks on the wheel was
was invented in 1866 by Pierre Lalle
mant, French mechanic, and was first
used in New Haven. The chief differ
ence between the bicycle and veloci-
pede is that in the former the weight is
borne by single large wheel, the di-
minutive one in the rear operating
merely as guide, while in the latter
the wheels are more nearly of size,
and both bear q portion of the weight

On lovely afternoon, late In sum-

to his repeated and earnest requests,
Wonderment was with us, but this time

One beautiful moonlight evening We

Polly sprang to her feet, her eyes

over the taffrail it went with a splash.
Breathing hard, but saying nothing,
Polly entered the cabin. Half an hour

Wondermcnt, said, "you did not
show much prudence In forcing that
box so suddenly upon Polly. You

me break the matter gradually to her. "

she said, "but 1 was angry. If my faith

Garibaldi as a Candle Maker on Staten
Island.

When Garibaldi, the Italian iberator,
lived on Staten Island, and earned his
living making paraffine candles, he lived
in small two-story gable rooted cot
tage, at Clifton, which some wealthy
members of the Italian colony now pro-
pose to buy for q hospital for aged Ital-
ians. Garibaldi lived here with Antonio
Muecci, who still resides in the old
house. Garibaldi worked for him, but
his labor was not very steady, as he
gave much time to visiting his country
men in New York, and In discussing his
projects with them. He came here In
1851, and in 1853 he took charge of
vessel bound tor San Francisco and
China. Upon his return he took a YES
sci from this port for England, and re-
turning to this country, III 1856, he re-
NAMED but few weeks, and then went
to Italy, to begin the exploits which
will make his name live in history.
While here Garibaldi became q member
of the Masonic lodge at Tompkinsville.
The pillow of bis bed in his room, which
has been preserved since the time he oc-
cupied it, has been draped in black in
memory of the hberator. and the old
Italian, a grey-haired and whiskered
man, preserves in the room the presents
which Garibaldi gave him. These in
clude bronze and cameo medallions of
the patriot, silver-mounted dagger,
the handle of which represents Mazep-
pa on wild horse, while the sheath is
embossed with hunting scene in silver;
silver.mounted cane, a loaded cane
and red shirt trimmed with green,
worn by Garibaldi, with a silver badge
emblematic of the cause for which he
labored, are among the other relics,
with his picture, taken after he was
wounded at Caprera, and an oil paint
ing. Since the patriots death the
house has been more visited than ever

W. chased the Wild guerrillas

We chased the Wild guerrillas
Through chaparrsl and glade,
And they fell beneath the sabers
OF the fearless Tenth brigade;
Then faiut with wounds and parched with thirs'
We pitched our tents that day,
And Il on the sandy
Banks OF the Ro Grands
Where We lay.
Up spoke our gallant leader,
Astrids his fretful roam,

I'll watch the camp alone.
A rest,ess spirit in my brain
Keeps rest aud sleep at bay"
Aud IL was on the sandy
Banks Of the Rio urande
Where We lay.
All In the misty moonlight
saw him come and go,
With his Long Kentucky rife
Across his saddle bow;
And he hummng tender love tune,
A ballad bitho as May.
And il was on the sandy
Banks Of the Rio Grande
Where We lay.
The dew was on tho flowers,
The air was tull OF June,
And the river on the shadows
Made music TO the moon,
While around our still encampment prowied
Wild beasts in search Of prey.
Aud IL was on the sandy
Banks OF the Rio Grands
Where we lay.
A rustic In the coppice
A shadow on the grassi
Is that friend, o sentinel,
That you should let him passi
Then the sharp, quick crack Of rife broke
On the air, and died away,
And IL was on the sandy
Banks of tbs Rio Grands
Where We lay.
The drummer beat reveille,
The startled war-horse neighed,
Aud our leader, Keeling In his seat,
Tugged at his trusty blade,
Rose in his stirrups once, and then-
We heard the bugles play,
And il was on the sandy
Banks OF the Rio drAnds
Where we lay.
And Leavenworth was dying,
His head upon my knee;

Who long viii wait for me!
And tell her" twas tress Of hair
And three year-old bouquet,
And ii was on the sandy
Banks Of the Rio Grands

We wrapped him In our colors-
The red, and white, and blue
Oh, we wrapped him in our colors,
That tender soul and truel
And more than one bronzed hero wept
Like little child that day,
A we buried him on the sandy

John Dickinson, Mr.. Moore said, was
unquestionably the author of that great
document, the Declaration of Taking
Up Arms in 1775." The claim that
Thomas Jefferson was the author of the
most important part of it was made pub
lie only after both Jefferson and Dickin-
son we're in their graves. 1t had been
generally accepted, and he had gone
into the histories even Of men like Ban
croft, "who," the speaker said, seemed
to have suffered syncope in the presence
of the chief of American Democracy. L

The way all came about was this.
Her husband keeps a grocery store
down town, and owing TO the highly in
flammable temper Of his wife, he don't
like 10 linger much around the family
hearth-stoue, but while away the most
OF his time within the precincts Of his
store. The recent introduction of tele-
phone, however, afforded bis wife an
opportunity TO air her peculiar views on
various topics, and the effect on her
husband was most discouraging.
One day she called him up and opened
out on him at long range in the follow
ing style:

unfortunate man ambled homeward, and
his wife met him in the doorway.

empty-handed and his fine features
bathed in an idiotc smile.

Why the Faro Bank Wins.

That is something that great many
clever men who play a great deal
against faro do not know. 1t is not that
there is steady percentage in the
banks favor in the cases of splits"
but that, the bank plays with the most
money, that the bank always wins in
the end. That is a simple enough prop
oston, but is seldom understood. A
bank with $4,000 cash has as many
more chances of winning in the end the
money OF a player worth 500 as the
banks capital is greater than the play
er's. The player can only lose his 800
once; the bank can lose two hundred
and fifty times before it has reduced its
chances to the players. In other words,
the chances in favor of the bank. as
quoted, in addition to the percentage on
splits, is two hundred and fifty to
one. This is susceptible of absolute
mathematical demonstration, yet will
be read with amazement by many who
occasionally buck the tiger. The or
binary player who goes with ten or
twenty dollars 10 lose in a bank having
100000 TO lose, can do little Sunday
morning work in figuring out his
chances Of beating the bank.-San

Buckskiu Lager,

find one more entry in my note book
taken at WoraS. 1t is mysterious. 1t
is this: "Buckshin lager"
1t recalls the joke of the season on
the Cooks tourists. Several of the par
ty, eminent alike for virtue, wisdom,
piety and learning, had devoutly wan
dered about the cathedral and traced
the paths the sacred and weighty foot of
Martin Luther himself had trod. They
had been so impressed with the solemni-
ty of the occasion that they became
thirsty. A door stood invitingly open
near by, as if designed by the shade of
Luther on purpose for quenching the
thirst of wise men like himself, who
properly appreciated wine, women and
song. At least so it seemed to the wise
and weary. tourists. The legend over
the door read thus: "Tuch und Buxkin
Lager" In point OF fact it was tail
or shop. But the wise followers of
Luther thought that Lager" must
necessarily mean beer. They were bit
rust, in their German. They entered
in. They held up two fingers, that mys-
tic, Masonic signal recognized the world
over, wherever civilization has planted
its banners. They looked knowingly at
the young man inside, and remarked
simply: "Buckskin Lager"
Do you catch onp The young man
didn't. He looked amazed, not to say
afraid, at these strange men from West
ern wilds. But at that moment some Of
the wise'm caught glimpse of the
tailor's goose and shears. Then they
caught a glimmering. Did they stop to
explainP Ask them, il you are brave
