one big mass, on the outside Of which on

you driak it in little sips, each little sip
Is curiled up by Itself, and the whole

juices may peicolate and dissolve the

A Revolution in Wheels

The advantages Of ball bearings and
pneumatic tires have been recognized By
manufacturers and riders OF bicycles 50
long that the wonder IS, not that those
fricsion-sAving devices have been applied
to track sulkies. bat that they we're not
usslized On ali varieties Of light vehicles
long ago. WHEELS Of the bicycle pattern
can be made as strong IS necessary. The
pneumatic tire passes easily over the IN
even surface Of a roadway, helping itself
over distractions by It's elasticity Il Is
better than springs for making a vehicle
"ride easy"
Il IS estimated that the combination Of
ball bearings and pneumstic tires added

General Sickels, Good Natnra.

New York letter to Cincinnati Enquirer:
I see General Dan Sickles occasionally
about the city, bat he IS not so much a
feature Of theaters as he used to be. He is
growing stout and bald. He is very rich.
The only extravaganza he indu lges in is
eating. He is quite a gourmand. He told
me just after President Cleveland sinstalla-
tion in the White House that he was afraid
because he had been told that Grover had
dismissed his Alsatian. chef and had sent
to Albany for his colored cook, who could
provide him with corned beef and cabbage.
II never knew man = said the general,
"Who loved coarse food who was not a
coarse man." The general never wears his
artificial leg. He preferes his silver
mounted crutches. Last winter at din
ner given by the confederate camp
at the New York hotel I had
a seat close to General e. Porter Alex
ander, who handled Longstreet's artillery
in the battle of Gettysburg. Sickles sat on
AIexander's left. "A good many bright
things were said, but when Sickles was
called uponfor few remarks he made the
hit OF the evening. He was received with
an old-fashioned Confederate yell: He
said: Boys, think I am the best-na-
tured and most forgiving man alive. Here
l have been sitting all the evening along
side General Alexander, who shot my leg
off in the peach orchard at Gettysburg
and, what is more, he has consumed my
entire rations of wine, and [ haven't even
complained" That wasa good opening
for the Southern boys, and they encour-
aged the general to make a speech, which
was one of the neatest ever heard at a
dinner table.

FOR VETERAN SOLDIERS.
What an Ohio Congressman Says of
Free Coinage of Silver.

Hon. Michael D. Harter, who represents
the fifteenth Ohio district in congress, has
addressed circular to to the Grand Army
posts of the country, which will arrest at
tention. The soldiers Of the country are
no more interested in maintaining the in
tegrity of the currency than are the grand
army of Workmen, who all belong to the
creditor class always giving their work be-
fore they get their pay, always cheated by
cheap money-yet the argument addressed
to the veterans, it must be confessed, is
very striking. Mr.. Harter says:
A movement ls-noW on foot which Will
work more injury to the veteran soldiers of
the United States than all other influences
which can eyer be marshalled or brought
together. | allude to the proposition to
give to 37114 grains of filyer a legal tender
value of 100 cents. 1t is called free coin
age This amount of silver bullion is
worth today less than 70 cents, and owing
to the rapid increase in the production of
silver it Is not unlikely to fall until the
vslue cf37114 grains of silver will be less
than 60 cents.
This simply means If a free silver bill be-
comes law a veteran who now gets a pen
sion worth to him 81 per month would re-
ceiye actually but $780, with the chances
of it going down to an actual value of$2.40.
Take the case of soldier who is total
physical wreck and utterly unable to do for
himself. Such man gets $72 der month.
1t free silver bill passes, while be would
nominally get the SBme he would really
get but $5s.40, with the strong probability
that in the early future his $72 of monthly
pension would be worth not over S43.20.
Under the free coinage act, if reports of
the remarkable richness of the mines at
Creede, Colorado, can be accepted as true,
