Protect the Poor Bicycle.


The bicycle makers have turned up before
the Tariff Commission at Long Branch inter
eeding for protection against the pauper-
made bicycles OF England. They could get
along very well if the duty on steel were re-
moved but as that would interfere with
somebody clse's job nothing remains but to
put the tariff ON foreign bicycles so high that
practically they will be excluded from our
markets. 1t is curious that this "infant in
dustry' has been allowed to go all this time
without the slightest protection. British
bicycles have been running all over our
streets and Highways, frightening horses and
soaring the wrangling old ladies of the Park
Commission half to death. A well behaved
American bicycle would not, it is umeces-
sary to say, be guilty OF such horrible mis-
conduct. 1t is therefore not only unpatriotic
but exceedingly imprudent to allow the gen
tie, amiahle article of home manufacture to
he crowded out of the race by the brutal,
half starved foreign importation.

THE DONATION PARTY.

1t was on the evening of the donation
party at the Rev. Simeon Slides.
At Grovehill they had not many excite
ments, and, to the simple villagers, this
donation party was as thrilling an event
as the charity ball would be to New York
belle or Court presentation to a London
debutante.
Jessie Field had retrimmed her white
muslin dress with apple-green ribbon, and
!even Aunt Betsy had washed and ironed
the French cambria dress which constitut-
ed the cream of her wardrobe, and basted
fresh lace Fittings into the neck and
sleeves; while the Squire himself, black
ing his boots on the kitchen porch, con-
graduated himself in complacent sort of
way, on the contents of the box-wagon,
which stood out under the shade of the old
apple-tree.
sIf everybody takes as creditable load
to the parsons as that" said the Squire.
81 guess they won't starve there. A ham.
bag of mixed chicken feed, a frkin o.
| irst-class butter, six dressed fowls, a
bushel o. russell apples, and loaf OF plum

was tucking away her curls under the

"Well," said the squire, with an olea-
ginous little chuckle, you'll have to con-
trive it somehow. One Of you can sit on
the butter firkin and sort o. steady it, and
there's plenty of room for the other along
o. nae on the seat and hold the plum cake

"Don't talk nonsense pa !" said Jessie,
laughing and looking provokingly pretty
just as Aunt Betsy, glanclng over her
shoulder into the glass, saw the reflection
of her own face, and sighed softly.

But Miss Betsy Field did not speak out
these words, she only said:

England's Big Guns.

The bombardment of Alexandria sup.
plies test Of the marvellous degree OF
perfection to which heavy artillery has
been brought in our day. Arab Bey's
garrison had no guns tit to make any i'm.
preston upon the heavily armored war
vessels which moved slowly through the
harbor and, at short range, made every
broadside effective.
1t is not a matter for surprise that non
com3atants in Alexandria should take ref
uge in their cellars when they heard or
saw the huge missiles of the Inflexible 20
hurting through the air. That vessel car
ries forty leighton guns, each of which
monsters is about twenty seven feet in
length with bore sixteen inches in di-
ameter. The ordinary service charge is
three hundred and seventy pounds of pow
der behind one thousand seven hundred
pound projectile. This latter messenger
OF civilization is of chilled iron, four feet
in length and little less in diameter than
the bore of the gun. Imagine mass of
iron, conical at one end, with cavity of
five inches by thirty-six in the middle of
1t, to receive bursting charge, and alto
gether nearly as big as two lager beer kegs
placed end to end; that is the kind of pei
let flung by the Infiexible at Arab Bey g
Notifications. At an ordinary range it
will pierce twenty inches of wrought iron,
with a similar thickness of seasoned teak
wood between the three iron plates, and
will then burst with tremendous energy.
From these data we may infer its effect
upon the comparatively feeble masonry OF
the Khedive's forts.
The guns discharging these terrific mis-
slles are housed within thickIy armored
revolving turrets, are operated entirely
with hydraulic machinery, and are invisi-
BILE except when their muzzles appear at
the orifices through which they deal cut
death and destruction. The instant the
shot has gone forth the colossal gun glides
back to be washed out, sponged and re-
loaded by machinery so perfect that child
can control it's every motion; the turret
meantime revolves and the companion
piece hurls out its one thousand seven
hundred pound charge Of iron.
Great Britain has spent good deal of
money on her navy during the past dozen
years, and has something to show for it.
The United States have also expended
mint of money on their navy within the
past dozen years; but the cash went
through Robeson's hands and Robson
alone takes pride in what we have to show
for tn. Y. Star.

The Three Little Chairs.

They sat alone by the bright wood fire,
The gray-haired dame and the aged sire,
Dreaming of the.days gone by;
The tear drops fell on each wrinKled cheek,
They both had thoughts they could not speak
And each heart uttered a Sigh
For their sad and fearful eves deserted
Three little chairs placed side by side
Against the slttingraom wall.
Old-fashioned enough as there they stood.
Their seats OF flag and their frames of wood,
With their backs so straight and tall.
Then the sire shook his silvery head.
And, with trembling voice, he gently SAID,
Mother. those empty chairs!
They bring US suc!i sad thoughts tonight
Well put them forever out of sight
In the small dark room up stairs
Bit She a. er ID, Father, no; not yet;
For look at them and forget
That the chi dren are away;
The boys come back, and our Mary, too,
With her apron on Of checSered blue.
And sit there every day
johnny still whites a ships tall masts,
And Willie his leaden bullets casts
While Mary her patchwork sews;
At evening the three childish prayers
Go up to God from these little chairs
So softly that no one knows
johnny comes back from the pillows deep;
Willie wakes from the battle field sleep

Marp'S a wife and mother no more.
But a tired child whose play time is Ger,
And comes to rest at my knee.

And every time when alone we bow
AT the Fathers throne to pray,
Well ask to meet the children above

Where no child goeth away 'f'
