The Lowell Snfety,


NEW BICYCLE WHICH THE PUBLIC LIKES.
While thousands within the last decade
have enjoyed the sport OF cycling, the fact is
nevertheless obvious that many thousa ads
more have been deferred from enjoying it in
consequence of the high prices demanded for
really good wheel.
1t remained for the John p. Lowell Arms
Company OF Boston to change this state of af-
fairs. 1t was last year that the public first be-
came aware that there was new low-priced
safety bicycle on the market, n wheel strictly
high grade and equal in every particular TO
any manufactured in America or Europe. AS
previous to this all manufacturers had
charged a very large price for q frst-class
wheel, the John =. Lowell Arms Company is
thereto lore the first house that has ever offered
the public such wheel at a price that does
not place it beyond the reach of the average
persons purse The company that manufac-
lures this wheel Uhe Lowell Diamond safety
is one of the oldest of all the manutactur ing
and mercantile houses in New England, hav-
ing been esta blished in lS40.
Besides being now one OF the lending bicycle
firms in the United states, the John +. Lowell
Arms Company is and has been for years
well-known manufacturer and dealer in fire
arms and sporting goods of every description.
. On June 10 of last year, the firm celebrated
It's half-century anniversary. The founder OF
this enterprising house, Mr.. John p. Lowell,
although over 10 years of age, is still an i'm
portant and active member of this world

FUR FOR SMALL GARMENTS.

Brown fur will be much used for small
garments such as Henry ". pelelines,
cape collars with stole fronts, boas and
muffs, also for rolls and edgings to wraps
and portions of handsome cloth costumes.
Sets of gray Persian lambkin, with otter
or seal trimmings, are pretty for youth
full wearers. Dark grizzly bear fur is
made into capes that have real astrakhan
yokes and collars. These are very warm
and comfortable, and can be worn all win
ter with muff and long fur cuffs to match.
Many women have this year had their
short sealskin coats made the fashionable
length by the addition of real black as
trakhan basques, vests, etc. Sometimes
entire sleeves of astrakhan are added

Marne, Champigny, Groslay, Draecy and
Buzenfal. In these engagements, at the
constant risk of death, she saved the
lives of hundreds of wounded soldiers,
and spent thousands of dollars of her
private means in their behalf. AT Cham.
pigny, while she was carrying a wounded
soldier to an ambulance, she
was struck by shot and lost her
right arm. At st. Denis she was
seized by some French soldiers, under
suspicion of being a spy. Her aristo.
cratic bearing was what made them look
upon her with doubt. They put her into
hole in the earthworks and rolled
powder barrels against the opening to
keep her prisoner until they had time to
try her. The drum-head court martial
which was presently held condemned her
almost without a hearing and sentenced
her to be shot. She showed no fear, but
when she was led out asked the favor
that her eyes might be left free from the
usual bandage, and that she might be al.
lowed herself to give the word to fire.
This fine spirit so impressed one of the
officers that he interposed and had her
life spared.
For her noble services, she received
the Military medal, and eight other
medals for life-saving. Yet she had
lived for years in poverty and utter
neglect. She now comes to public notice
through her application for license to
peddle matches on the streets of Paris.
1t is pleasant to observe that the license
has been granted New York Tribune.

A little boy had his first pair Of
rubber boots and could not be con-
tented till his mother went down to
the brook with him to see him wade.
With loving care he dragged board
across the brook for her to walk upon
while he wadcd beside her in water
which came nearly to his boot-tops.
Suddenly, as if he had just realized
what she was deprived of in being
woman, in shoes, he took her hand
and said with affectionate tenderness:
''Indeed, mamma dear, l will not
wade another minute where you can
see me. 1t must be too temptationy

An Egg Like n Dumb-Bell.

Will wonders never cease? This Is
about the twelfth time that we have
chronicled strange eggs, but this is an
eggs-traordinary town. We were shown
an egg last Wednesday, taken from the
hennery of Mr.. w. j. Norton, that takes
the dilapidated linen from the shrubbery.
1t was two medium-sized eggs joined by
u tube about the size of lead pencil,
and two inches in length. 1t resembles
a dumb-bell, and was, no doubt, intended
for the hens to develop their muscles
