A WheeIman's Queer Will.

A Christiania lawyer by the name OF
Nicolson, who recently died, willed all
his money for the purchase of bicycles for
the school children of that city. The
interest on d portion of the capital is to
pay the salary of an instructor in
bicycling. The will of the testator
closes as follows: The bicycle has pro-
tected me in my promenades against
excessively troublesome annoyance OF
people who make a habit of stopping
one in the street, in the burning sun or
driving wind, and beginning a CONVEX
sation. My wheel has not shed single

PEELED to intrust in riding my limbs to a

glowing culogy of bicycling the chl-
dren of Mr.. Nicolson will contest the

TIE Local Government Board of
London has made public its reply to
the letter recently addressed to it by
the Social Democratic Federation, call
ing attention to the alleged enormous
increase in the number of the poor and
unemployed in London. The boards
reply asserts that in the month OF
October, 1886, the percentage OF
paupcrs in London was twenty-five to
every one thousand of the population
while in the same month of the year
1868 the percentage was forty-two to
the one thousand, and argues that
these figures prove that if pauperism
has been increasing in London lately
the Government will be quite able to
manage it and its attendant evils.

WASHING DISHES.

A Suggestion which should BE Given .
Trial by Busy Housewives.
One Of the most wearisome domestic
tasks which falls to the housewife doing
her own work is the ''never-ending,

is often a real pleasure to prepare q
dainty, palatabIe meal; well-earned
satisfaction in viewing the work OF
ones hands in the light, sweet loayes OF
white or brown bread, the roast of flesh
or fowl, done to a turn, the perfect
cake, quivering custards, etc. But not
one of these toothsome viands can be-
brought to pass without the aid of vari-
ous pans, spoons, cups, etc, all to be
cleaned for perhaps immediate use
