HOLIDAYS I'm New Modes.

There is something to be said. no doubt,
against bicycles and trcycles. but no one can
deny that for vast number of busy young men
they have substituted the country reads. fresh
air, and healthy exercise for aimless and I'M
wholesome lOang at street corners in billiard
rooms and, at public-houses From the purely
selfish point of view it is possible to lament the
disturbance Ofthe absolute quiet which not many
years ago was attanabe almost anywhere
within few miles of London if the seeker
avoided few stock places of resort. But with
out laying claim to a very exalted altruism, one
may acknowledge that the gain altogether out
weighs the loss.
There is no doubt that the innovation of
''cycles' is the most remarkable of late days in
point of holiday making and it is not likely that
it has yet reached it's utmost development.
The invention of ''sociables especially makes
holiday-taking in company possible, and we
| should not be surprised to see some of these
days polycycle with ''bOot" for infants.
The steam tricycle., the harmlessness of which
seems to be certain, has been for the present, by
one of the oddities of English law. squelched by
the application of an enactment intended for
something quite different. But that is not
likely to last for ever. Meanwhile the older
ways OF lOcOmOtiOn are not suffering from the
new. Coaches grow more numerous every sum-
mer. Cruises upon wheels-a daring novelty
10 years ago, when the late Mr.. c. A. Collins
wrote his charming bOok-are common enough
now. Tours in households are almost hack
neyed, and even journeys in caravans are said
to be not uncommon. The man who takes a
| country walk ought to be prepared at any mo-
ment to come upon some emuIatOr of Mr. Louis
Stevenson driving donkey with sleeping bag,
or on more original pilgrim with one Of the
Belgian dOg-carts conveying his luggage. There
is nothing to be said against this exercise of pri-
vate judgment Though we do not seriously re-
commend the dOg-carts) on the contrary, there
is everything to be said for it. A French poet
once expressed neatly and correctly the object
of mankind in taking holidays. He said that
we wished to go EAU fond de Pinconnu pour
trOuver du nOuveau." That there is a great
deal of the unknown and great deal of the
new to be got at very close to our. doors is the
principle of the modern traveller near home, aud
the mechanical arrangements which enable him
to find both are unquestionable blessngs.-Lo,1-

SHOOTING oID PERKINS.


From the Detroit Free Press.
1t is on record in this state that Michigan
editor was once engaged to fight a duel. The
affair occurred twenty-five years ago. and was
brought about by the journalist making several
vicious attacks upon the honor and honesty of a
member of the legislature The Scion first
tried the usual way OF getting even by buy
ing horsewhp and hunting the editor. but
when he had found him he was knocked down
and rolled in the mud. He then sent formal
challenge, and as the editor opened the letter
he turned to his two compositors and said:
the first page?"
"Three columns" replied the foreman, after
measuring up the galleys?'
"And We need five. You'll have 1t all up by
noon tomorrow. and by Wednesday night all the
inside will be up Then I'll wet down the paper
and make up, and while you are working off the
outside I'll run out and shoot old Perkins, who
has sent me a challenge"
He sent formal acceptance. named rifles as
weapons. appointed the rendezvous within
thirty rods of the Office, and then began to
scratch out copy. When the hour arrived he
was making up the forms. having got little
behind the program and by and by his second
came In at the back door and said:
We've been waiting for you all Of twenty
minutes
'But I'm busy
This is no time to be busy; Perkins is all
ready
Hang the luck!" growled the editor. as he
hlied out the column and flung down his rule.
That's just like Perkins-he wants to throw
our publication day. Come on; I'll fill him
up"
The editor seized his gun. and. hatless and
coat!ess, he sets out on lope for the spot.
Perkins saw him coming in that fashion, and
his knees weakened and his chin dropped. and.
though the editor yelled for him to hold on a
minute, he bolted over the fence and did not
come out Of the woods until he was SIX miles
away.

Just So.


Referring to the statement that the press of
Quebec is denouncing female dentist in that
city as pursuing an unwomanly vocation the
Albany Argus makes these sensible remarks:
If that is so, Quebec needs civilization. A
woman has moral right to earn her living in
any honest way legally open to man. Laws
or customs to the contrary will have to GO.
The question of woman's occupation depends
entirely on what she can learn to do well, and
make an honest living in. There are many eff
cicnt women dentists and women physicians in
the United States. The public employs them,
or not, for the same reasons which govern the
employment of men in the same vocation. A
woman who is well married and well supported
by worthy husband has her lot made for her
and as wife and mother does as much for the
family as the husband, whose labor earns the
money. If such woman chooses to acquire a
profession or an art for the culture always in
II, and protection against possible adversely that
may be in it, she will have an unworthy hus-
band II he objects to it, provided she proves that
she has capacity for it. and shows that the acqui-
sition will not interfere with her home duties.
The practice of it, for income or for relaxation,
is matter which man and wife can settle be-
tween them, and it is a matter which is nobody
elSeS business. Such cases Will not arise often
enough to concern society at large The only
truth to be borne in mind is that education and
accomplishments better women the same as they
do men, and their union in the married relations
does not affect the truth.
LAS to the cases of women who do not marry
and who prefer or who have to labor no absolute
line can be drawn through work making one side
feminine and the other masculine. 1t is better
for any woman to work than not to work--the
same as it is for man. An idler is the only
thing made in Gods image that does not follow
his Makers law and habit of work. 1t is better
for any person, man or woman to know how to
work than not to know how. An Incapable is a
burden and obstacle to the race. 1t follows that
if women preferring or obliged to work, discern
what they can best do, and learn how to do it
well. they are only organizing and capitalizng
their powers, the same as men do, or should do.
And the women who do SO are entitled to help
and honor anywhere from all worthy to be called
men -

How She Won Him.
Philadelphia Quiz, August "a.


have just heard the most remarkable story
