Girls Who Ride Tricycles.

A Detroit lady in Washington writes to a friend that upwards of 100 young women at the capital are habitual riders of the tri- cycle. The smoothness of the streets there makes this pastime rather than laborious and tiresome exercise Most of the women tricyclists have special costume in the na- ture of riding habit minus the train, Nev- ertheless they are long while getting over their nervousness and their self consciousness so as to really enjoy the collaborating pleas ure. Many girls own the machines they ride, but a large proportion of the cyclers hire them by the hour, The steady work required is really beneficial exercise enormously so, in fact-and there ought to be more of it done wherever the conditions will permit.

SOLDIERS "uNDER FIRE"
Something About the Experience When
 One First Faces It.

something About the Experience When One First Faces It. There is nothing to correspond with the feelings experienced by soldier under fire. Take, for instance, the average man, the man who is neither very brave nor great coward In all his life he could scarcely nave had any sensation to compare with that of hearing tho ping of the first bullet of an approaching fight.
 Ihere Is spiteful sound as the ball sings Dy the ear, or a splitting sound as it cuts a tWlg above the soldiers head
 Inen there is 6 disagreeable searching sound as the shell comes in spirals, as if to IWlst Itself into his vitals. No man knows un1ll he has once been under fire whether he can depend upon himself or not. With the majority 1t at once becomes a struggle be- tween pride, will, natural desire to stand up ana De man, and a natural temptation to finch
 mere IS wonderful readjustment of the standing of officers and men in command aIIer tne first fight. A number who have been regarded the best men lose their high places in twinkling, and here and there some one of whom nothing was expected steps right up to the front.
 some men who will face any amount of musketry firing can't stand the sound of a smell; and vice versa. It is mistake to SUD- pose that a soldier gets used to ssfren by being exposed in number of battles. With each battle he becomes more timid
 1e1 veterans are more to be depended upon than raw troops This is partly be- cause they are better disciplined, partly be- cause they have gone through similar scenes. and partly because they are more reliant on each other and their officers.
 It IS true, men will in measure eet 11sed to fire by being long exposed to it. as at Vicksburg. There the Union troops were under continued regular fire for months. Being for the most part we'll protected, they soon saw that the shells did comparatively little damage, and the projectile which curved in the air to light among them did not excite anything like the trepidation a similar first shot would excite out on an open field. In other words, they became in measure accustomed to the bombs
 Bravery, as it is usually understood. is largely dependent upon physical conditions, and is supposed by some physicians to come from the action of the heart It is said of Napoleon that under the most profound ex- citement, on the eve of battle, his pulse never ran above some forty to fifty beats to the minute, whereas the average pulse of adults is about seventy.
 Whether bravery is the result of physical condition or no, it is certain that it is much easier for some men to be brave than others. and many hold that all men are towards at heart. At any rate Frederick the Great once sald that man who has never felt fear has never snufted candle with his fingers.

The Change in Cigars.

"What makes the style in cigars?'' Q cigar dealer was asked.
 "Now, hardly know how to answer you," was the reply, "for you are asking me almost too much. The manufacturers make most of the styles in name only. There are only three or four different patterns in cigar, molds. From these three or four distinct patterns are made thousands of fancy styles and still there are but three varieties of tobacco and but three prime grades of each variety. There can only be about dozen different grades in cigar, and yet there are over 100 on the price list.-New York Sun.

The total number of persons employed on Z
| typical japanese newspaper, say The Nichi
Nichi Skimbun, is as follows: Ono political
dlrec,o or, one chief editor five assistant edi
5ors, four proof readers, one shorthand writer
twelve reporters or news gatherers, three or
| four conposltors, each with several assis,
ants, twelve rlen in the press room and rninol
employees, including distributors, making O
total of 100 persons. The reporters are the
weak point, for the editor frankly tells YOU
that If they cannot find news they are COM
PEELED to bring home fiction, as they are paid
by results, and even then they do not often
earn more than so month
They therefore deliberately invent large
part Of the news During my own stay tho yer
nacular papers have had fifty items of news
about my movements Of ludicrous inaccu-
racy- so untrustworthy, indeed, is the re-
porter that an assistant editor is always sent
when anybody of Importance desires or is in
vlted TO be interviewed. As regards the sup
ply OF news, the best papers have their own
correspondents, almost always men EMPLOYED
on a newspaper, in other chief cities, and
some of them have mail correspondents
abroad, generally young men who have gone
to Europe OF America to study. Much en-
terprise is shown III collecting full accounts
of anything that occurs in Japan. but the
trail of the untrustworthy reporter is over it
all, and this greatly reduces its interest and
infuence-Henry Norman in Philadelphia
