The Mexican Swell on Horseback.

The Mexican swell rides on a saddle
worth fortune. It is loaded with silver
trimmings, and hanging over it is an ex-
pensive serape, or Spanish blanket, which
adds to the magnifcence of the whole. His
queer shaped stirrups are redolent of the
old mines. His bride is in like manner
adorned with metal in the shape of half q
dozen big silver plates, and to his bit is at
tached pair of knotted red cord reins,
which he holds high up and loose.
He is dressed in black velvet jacket
fringed and embroidered with silver, and
huge and expensive hat perched on his
head is tilted over one ear. His legs are
incased in dark tight fitting breeches, with
silver trimming down the side seams, but
cut so as in summer weather to unbutton
from the knee down and flap aside His
spurs are silver, big and heavy and costly,
and fitted to buckle round his high cut
heel. Under his left leg is fastened broad
bladed and beautifully curved sword, with
hilt worthy prince of the blood.
The seat of this exquisite is the perfect
pattern of a clothes pin. Leaning against
the cantle, he stretches his legs forward
and outward, with heels depressed in a
fashion which reminds one of Sydney
Smiths saying that he did not object to q
clergyman riding, if only he rode very bad
ly and turned out his toes. 1t is the very
converse of riding close to your horse In
what it originates it is hard to guess, un-
less bravado. The cowboy, with an equally
short seat and long stirrups, keeps his legs
where they belong, and if his leg is out Of
perpendicular, it will be so to the rear

Prayers for Rain.

I have heard my father say that in the
days of his early manhood, which dates
back to more than a century, in season
of protracted drought it was custom for
the deacons of the church situated in the
old town of East Windsor to call together
the members on week day and put up
petitions for rain. And he has assured me
that these meetings were always followed
by rain He failed to tell me just how
soon. Among those always in attendance
was man Of the name of Potwine, one
wonderfully gifted in prayer.
Ny father called to mind some of this
pious mans earnest expressions, such as
"Send down the rain, o Lord! not in tor
rents, but in cupious [sicl effusions." On
an occasion Of extraordinary and prolonged
drought he put his petitions nearly in the
form of demand. Rain they must have,
rain they would have, and they could not
do without it. Realizing that he had gone
too far in that direction, he qualified his
demands by saying, 20 Lord, we do not
wish to dictate, but only to advise. -

Victories of an Oarsmau,

My first great race was also my first
great victory When l arrived at Phila
delphia in 1875. there were assembled all
the great oarsmen in the world. became
a laughing stock for them because of my
style Of rowing and my rigging. The pre-
vailing rigging for sculls then was the 8
inch sliding seat: oars, 10 feet 3inches long
with blades 81 inches wide, and footboard
having an angle of 20 degs went there
with 26-inch sliding seac, 81 foot oars, with
615inch blades and an angular foot brace
at 40 deg. angle. When the race came of
won by several lengths.
Since then this rigging has advanced the
speed of racing minute mile. then
went to England, and they laughed there;
but beat them out of sight. All England
then used my rigging I met Trickett in
England and won $5O0,0OO for my friends
on this race. Then defeated Laycock in
the same way. I then went to Australia
and was defeated by Beach through col
lision with a steamer. The Australian
climate undermined my constitution, and
Twas defeated several times there, but
could never get the Australians to meet
me in neutral waters.-Edward Hanlan in

TWO NILES A MINUTE.
Great Things Claimed by Its Inventoi
for n One wheel Cycle

Great Things Claimed by Its Inventor
for n One wheel Cycle
A one wheel cycle, eight feet high, that q
greenhorn can learn 10 ride In minute
and then write his name In the dust with
It in fifteen feet Of space, not 70 mention a
speed capacity Of two miles In sixty sec
onds on good track. is the astonishing In
vention which Victor Beranger. Of Wor-
cester, editor OF lie Courier de Wor-
cester, claims to have produced after two
years Of hard work.
He says his brother in Montreal rode the
phenomenon seventy-three miles In one
hour on an ordinary highway. and that
was at the rate Of much more than a mile
minute. Mr.. Beranger himself, on q
wager Of 800, will leave Worcester some
day In the presence Of a number Of wit
nesses, so he says, at the same time the
new "Chicago flyer" leaves for Boston. and
he promises to arrive at the Hub at least
fifteen minutes before the express train
reaches there. notwithstanding that he
will have to travel sixty-six miles by high
way as against forty-four by rail.
II he does it, in the face Of the fact that
the highway between Worcester and Bos-
ton is In no way prepared for such light
ming trip, Monsieur" Will have furnished
the world the biggest sensation possible
short of an actual flying machine. Mr..
Beranger may be an enthusiast, but he has
made applications for patents in five coun.
tries, and his patent in this country is al
ready assured. The new cycle will GER
tainly make the fur hy in "bike" circles II
1t goes, for it will be sold for seventy dol
lars and ita vyaioht will ha ahout fftaan
pounds less than the ordinary Warwick
safety"
The inventor claims that to propel his
machine requires from seven to ten times
less power than is required on the ordinary
bicycle. Indeed, the difficulty he seems to
fear most is a vast excess of power, which
will make the machine unmanageable to
the ordinary person through its terrific
speed. II the one wheel cycle, according
to the inventors designs, is practicable, its
availability for people who nowadays ride
bicycles merely for pleasure may be ques-
toned, unless 1t can be easily controlled
and kept at a slow rate of speed.
According to Mr.. Beranger, thirty pushes
minute on the pedals equals about forty
miles an hour. II machines of this sort
are to go cavorting about the country at
even that rate, new problems in highway
regulation are to be solved. On the other
hand, If these machines can be propelled
on prepared roads at a much greater speed
than is attained by locomotives, the com.
mercial opportunities for them may be i'm
mense. But meanwhile Mr.. Beranger has
to demonstrate to the world the success Of
his invention.-Springfeld Republican.

about the tariff, and that the money
question Is shrouded In mystery, but
that they are willing to listen to ar
gument on both questions. Our
business las not required close study
OF these questions, and we have
been coutent TO let others do the
talking; but the idea has often pre-
sented itself that some who do the
lOudest talking know the least about
It. Our idea has always been, even
when some prominent Republicans
were looking downcast, that the Me-
Kinley bill was framed by wise men.
Men who sat for months In cOnsulta-
ton upon Its contents. Men who
knew that the success Of their party

they, after taking testimony from
men In every state, two from Kan

were willing tn abide the result.
So far we have seen no bad effects

hand, we have seen some Of Its ben
efits. Let us wait r little while
