bicycle Racing.

Boston Herald.
The recent bicycle tournament at
Springfield proved that the possibilities
Of this form of riding have been by no
means reached. This year Il number of
the records made last year were broken,
und it is presumublc that the records
made this year will be similarly treated
IL months hence. This is partly due to
the greater skill of the riders, and still
more to the improvements that are con-
stantly being made in the machine itself.
It seems TO us that there is n larger future
for the tricycle. than for the bicycle, for
the number of those who, under any cir
culnstances, will use the latter machine is
comparatively small, while if the tricycle.
can be so improved rs to utilize every
ounce of applied power, the number who
will, later on, adopt this means of con-
yeyance will be immense: Under such
conditions il is conceivable that these
machines might be us commonly used as
horses and carriages are at the present
time.

PASSING THE PRIIIRY SCHOOL.


Again each morning as we pass
The clty's streets along,
Wen hear the voices of the class
Ring out the nations song.
The small boys treble piping clear,
The bigger boys low growl,
And from the boy who has no ear
weird, discordant howl.
with swelling hearts We hear thom sing
s'My country, tits Of thee"
From childish throats the anthem ring,
"Sweet land OF libertyri
Their little throats aglow with pride, ...
Each with exultant tongue
Proclaims: "From every mountain SIDE
Let freedoms song DO sung
Let him who'd criticiso the time,

And we shall e'er be strong,
While DER the land the school house rings

In Good Housekeeping Mrs. Ellen
Bliss Hooker says; The demands of
social etiquette are such that much time
is necessarily spent in the receiving and
returning calls. When once this round is
friends is established, it would be well to
let those friends know that there will
always be one evening when you will be
Mt home and ready to welcome them,-
not that they will be unwelGome at other
times, but by this method more freedom is
gained for other things, We all need di-
version and recreation ut times, and it's a
mistake to suppose that you are always to
be sufficient of yourselves for amllse-
ment, but the young woman who con-
siders it her duty to provide
some entertainment for each even
ing of her life will, sooner OF
later find her mistake Soon, what begaI
as n pleasant performance, becomes to b'
considered by him as right, and when
by reason of other cares and duties the
wife cannot always be Mt leisure, she find
that by her own act she has laid ON her
self unnecessary burdens. This custom
grows largely out of the feur that tn
monotony of home life may become irk
some to one who has had the freedom Q
male compnuionship Let these com
pauions find themselves welcome in til
little home circle, il they are suitahl
ONES, if not, then the sooner the conne'
tion is broken the better. The scott
duties you owe to your friends are impoi
/ tant and should be kept up. If 20
would preserve your friends you must n,
s neglect to observe the claims of socic'
g.. upon you, not for dinners or ballt, but Il
4 ordinary courtesies of life.

AN INSANE JUDGE.



SAN FRANcIsco, Sept. 17.-Several weeks
ago Judge Clough of the superior court
became insane and was duly committed
TO the asylum Mt Stockton. There was
considerable discussion ut the time III
legal circles as to how his place on the
bench could be filed, there being no pro-
vision of the constitution or the code
which created vacancy i'll the
case of judge going mitn;
The difficulty was apparently solved
by the resignation of the Judge,
written, rs every one supposed, during n
lucid interval, but now it turns out that
he was quite insane when he signed the
paper. Within the last few days he has
recovered his reason sufficiently TO attend
to his business, and he declnrs he has no
recollection of his resigning his judgeship.
| Ii appears that his wife, Wishing
to care for him ut home, TOOK
| him from Stockton with the assent OF the
doctors without certificate of recovery
| that after his arrival i'll this city ut the
request of the clerk of the court his wife
induced him to sign the resignation, II
being understood that she should retiuI
the paper for IA certain length of time ,anc
in the event of the Judges recovery
destroy it, but that If ho got no Dettel
she should send it to the governor. III
got no better. She forwarded 1t TO N.
capitol, and the governor appointed Wil
ter Levy, Jr., judge i'll his pilce. Clough
however, has since improved ana rs nov

The political code of the state declare
that II person of unsound mind can max
no conveyance or other contracts, 10
, waive any right, until hih restoration 7

stated that there were grave charges IL

charges, should add, in no way related
to anything referred to by Mr.. Rossite

utterly false and libelous, l prepared

THE OLD HOME.
Josephine Canning.


The western sun was gliding
The grand old mountain tops,
The dew was gently kissing
The heather In the copse.
The poplar trees were whispering
From their majestic height,
Like guards who pass the watehword
Through weary hours of night.
Tho kino from fragrant pastures
Wound slowly round the hill,
To meet tho mountain brooklet
And take their evening I'LL.
The little sheltered hamlet
Lay sleeping as of yore,
The old brown homestead standing
With heavy oaken door.
The garden and the orchard,
The busy hum Of bees,
The fragrance of the blossoms,
From peach and apple trees.
The creak Of dripping bucket
That slowly rose and fell,
The sweet-grass and the cowslips,
That grew beside the we'll.
The roses anu the lilacS,
Tho door from the thyme,
The climbing hOneysuckle,
The scarlet trumpet-yine.
The bloodroot growing only
In warm aud sheltered spots,
The meadow path all bordered
With blue forget-me-nots.
The old gate whore at evening,
used to take my stand,
And fingered till the darkness
Had gathered DER the land.
All Join to weave together,
And add to memory's chain
The links so roughly broken,
By time, and toll, and pain.
In pleasant lands wherever
My feet may chance to roam,
No flowers no sunny landscape,
No place will seem like home.

Ise Lost His Life in Frying 10 save

dispatch from Buffalo says: A.
Haight, representing Mr.. Barnum, nr-
rived here Wednesday week on his
way to London, Ont, to JOIN the circus.
He said that the truth about the killing
of Jumbo on Tuesday evening had not
been published. After the show in st,
Thomas, Ont, that evening, the driver
started down the tracks with Jumbo and
the baby elephant, Tom Thumb, TO where
the Grand Trunk freight train was stand.
ing. There are n great many tracks 1T
that point used III the switching of cars
on the Grand Trunk NH line, which there
Joins the main stem of the roud, On one
side of the track was the train and on tie
other was steep embnukment. as the
train came around the curve the keeper
tried to induce Jumbo 10 70 down the
embankment, but he would not, for villa.
reason was not at first apparent. Tho
baby elephant was in the rear, and as
the train approached Jumbo began
to below and swing his trunk. Tho
little elephant seemed duZed, hut did not
get out of the way AS the engine was

hind legs Us though to protect tie baby
and then quick as thought dropped dowr
and grabbed him in his trunk and hurled
him with great force over all the tracks
and against freight car 20 yards away
where he dropped down whining like {
puppy with a sore foot. Jumbo, i'll sayinl
the life of his little protege, had entlrcl.
neglected his own chance TO escape. Tn
locomotive struck him with full force il
the side, crowding him against some ear
on the siding nearest him, and fairl
squeezing the life out OF him. Whe
they came to the end of the switch th
engine left the track, and with ii iy
&edght cars that stood on the siding,
Then there was scene never to be foi
gotten by those who witnessed it. tn
mangled beast roared with pain, and til
little elephant roared as loud as he eoul
in sympathy. The crush was too heay
TO leave any chance of recovery, and Il
bystanders could only wait for Jumbo
death. 1t was not delayed. III thr'
minutes he turned over on his back deaf
1t WINS found that the baby elephant hG
sustained broken leg, and, as there W
no help for him, orders were given tn
he be put out of his misery, which ord
was carried into effect in the afternoo
