sarsnpnrilln also shows its curative power
in the happiness of those cured of malaria
and catarrh, in the buoyancy of spirits and
good appetite enjoyed by those recently tired
and run down. Its by such results as these
that Hoods Sarsaparilla makes its hosts Of
friends and admirers.

GROWTH OF THE BICYCLE.
The First Rude Model Invented Early in
tho Century.

st. Nicholas
The rudmentary bicycle was mounted by
Baron Won Drais, a Frenchman living in Ger
many, who, early in this century, invented a
combination OF two wheels, a seat,
and handles, which he called a
''c6ltrifere," to aid him in his work of over
seeing large estates. The old cuts of this
odd machine, called, after the inventor, the
"Draisine," show 1t to be in its general
features the direct forerunner Of the hobby
horse. "Draislnes" were introduced into
England in 1918, and year later they were
seen in America, on the streets OF New
York.
In both countries they met with great favor,
and one historian relates that in New York
people rode them up and down the Bowery
and on the parks, favorite place for speed
being the down grade from Chatham street to
City Hall Park Clumsy machines they
seem to our eyes--two heavy wheels connected
by cross-bar, to which was attached midway
the cushioned seat for the rider. In front of
the seat was a raised cushion, upon which,
handles In hand, the rider rested his FORE
arms, guiding the machine. He propelled It
by pushing alternately with his feet until the
speed was sufficient to maintain equilibrium,
when he would raise his feet and, in the words
OF a rider to-day, ''coast."
The rage for these ''Draislnes,,' and .,pedes-
trlan curricles," or ''dsndy-horses'' and
hoopy -uOioce, no JU6 idCeT 'lTnDrOVeQ' ma
chimes were called, subsidized rapidly because
OF the difficulty of making them practically
useful, and because of the ridicue always ex-
cited by the riders.
This curious sport of riding two wheels
Joined and running in the same perpendicu-
lar plane therefore laDguished in obscurity
until after lapse of more than forty years
it again attracted public attention in a new
form. 1t was in 1865 that French mechanic,
Pierre Lallemant, conceived the notion of
attaching foot-cranks to the front wheel of
the old-fashioned hobbyhorse He made a
machine embodying this idea, learned to ride
1t, and exhibited 1t at the Paris Exposition in
1867. The credit for this invention is also
claimed in England for Edward Gilman, but,
be the honor due to Frenchman or English
man, here, at all events, was the immediate
predecessor of the bicycle. 1t Immediately
became popular in both England and America.
great many improvements and changes
were necessary, of course, before the crude
machine of Lallemant-the ''velocipede" of
thirty years ago-bec anne the finished bicycle
OF to-day; but energetic business men in
England, and later in this country, saw its
possibilities, and began the manufacture of
the machines. Improvement has followed
Improvement, until now there is little resem-
blance left to the old velocipede, or ''bone-
shaker" as it was flippantly called, and it is
difficult to imagine in what way modern
bicycle may be improved.

A SPANISH BAROMETER.
How Your Morning Cup of Coffee VIII

American Architect.
According to the bright little Spanish
building journal, the Gaceta dc Obras Pub
licas, cup of pure coffee, with the addition
of lump of sugar, forms an excellent barom-
coffee without stirring, and, moment after
ward, quantity of bubbles, due to the air
contained in the sugar, will be seen to rise to
the surface of the liquid. If the bubbles col
lect In the middle of the cup, the weather will
be fair; if, on the contrary, they leave the
centre, and adhere to the sides of the cup,
forming ring of bubbles, with clear space
in the middle, there will be rain; if they scat
ter themselves indifferently on the surface,
the weather will be variable, while cluster of
bubbles at one side of the cup indicates rain.
No one, apparently, has attempted to explain
the connection between the behavior of the
bubbles and atmospheric conditions, but 1t is
said that the eindications of the coffee-cup ba-
rometer generally agree with those of mer-
curial barometer placed near by.

Senator passed with Congressman Clunie
ga funny idea occurred to me at that mo-

gentlemen, that picture represents Senator
George Hearst in the act of discovering gold

handsome gentleman who stands next him is
Thomas jackson Clunie, now in Congress

They are Still Flourishing and Drawing
Pensions in Mexico.
City of Mexico Dispatch.
1t is a curious fact that for 365 wears the
various governments in this country, colonial
imperial, and republican, have continued paw
ing pensions to the heirs of Montezuma II.
The family of the ancient royal race of the
country seems to be in no danger of extinction.
for each generation sees additions to the line.
Many of the family live in this country while
there is a numerous section who reside in
Spain, ana there are among the Spanish branch
many titled people. The Duke of Abrantes
died last year, and his pension will now have
to be divided among his five children by his
first marriage-the Marquis of Sardoal, the
Marquis OF Puerto Seguro, the Count ofVillaloa,
the Marquis of Navamorcuendo. and the
Marchioness of Vile de la Tore By later
marriage the Duke had several children, who
will also share in this pension. In addition to
this family there are other Spanish descendants
OF Montezuma 1.-THE Marquis of Aguila
Fuerto the Marquis of Castellanos and the
Count of Miravalle 1t is noted as remark
able fact that during 365 years there has only
been one instance of marriage uniting two
branches of the descendants of the Aztec
monarch
AS the years run on the multiplication of in
heritors of the pensions renders the subdivision
OF the sums matter of considerable caIcu-
latlon, and the amounts become SO small that
often the legally authorized nneritors do not
come forward to claim the amounts due them.
1t is known that for more than 500 years the
geneaogy of the royal line of Mexico has been
carefully kept by the family, and, as before
said for the last 365 years the matter has been
attended to by the various governments of
Mexico. Probably there are few families any
where who can trace their ancestry for five
centuries without single interruption. If
there is anything in the theory of blue blood,
the line of the Montezumas may lay claim to
the possession of the genuine article
