Ball Bearings for Farm Vehicles.

The advantages of ball bearings and
pneumatic tires have been recognized by
manufacturers and riders of bicycles so
long that the wonder is, not that those
friction saving devices have been ap-
piled to track sulkies, but that they were
not utilized on all varieties of light
vehicles long ago. Wheels of the
bicycle pattern can be made as strong as
necessary. The pneumatic tire passes
easily over the uneven surface of road
way, helping itself over distractions by
its elasticity. 1t is better than springs
for making a vehicle "ride easy"
1t is estimated that the combination of
ball bearings and pneumatic tires added
from two to three seconds to Nancy
Hanks speed by lessening the draft of
her sulky. A gain of such a large per-
centage il lightness of draft will be ap-
preciated by owners of good roadsters,
and now that their attention has been
called to it the time cannot be far dis
tant when they will want pneumatic
tires and ball bearings on their buggies.
The pneumatic tire will not reach the
farm wagon, for it cannot stand rough
usage, but there would seem to be 10
reason why the ball bearings should not
be applied to vehicles of that class. The
change would work a great saving in
horsefesh and in time, for it would
make possible the hauling of heavier
loads.
With the march of these improve
ments will come better roads. This is
the age of wheels, and the gentleman
driver, the farmer and the bicyclist will
soon be in league for improved highways
in city and country alike.-Minneapolis
Tribune,

oUIe misery.
"Ahoy!" said the waterman, who was
getting tired of the business, addressing
a grimy looking seaman hanging medi.
tatively over the side of the schooner
"Where's the Mary Ann?"
"Went away at half past this morn
ing, was the reply.
"'Cos here's the cap'en an the mate,
said the waterman, indicating the for
lorn couple with bob of his head.
my eyesr' said the man. 81 s'pose
the cooks in charge then. We were to
have gone, too, but our old man hasn't
turned up"
Quickly the news spread among the
craft in the tier and many and various
were the suggestions shouted to the be-
wildered couple from the different decks.
At last, just as the captain had ordered
the waterman TO return to the shore, he
was startled by d loud cry from the mate.
'Look thereT' he shouted.
The captain looked. Fifty or sixty
yards away small, shamefaced look
ing SC. .oner-so it appeared to his ex-
cited dimagination-wa slowly approach
ing them. A minute later shout went
up from the other craft as she took in
sail and bore slowly down upon them.
Then small boat put off to the buoy,
and the Mary Ann was slowly warped
into the place she had left ten hours be-
fore.
But while all this was going on, she
was boarded by her captain and mate.
They were met by Captain Bing, sup
ported by his mate, who had hastily
pushed off from the Smiling Jane to the
assistance of his chief. In the two
leading features before mentioned he
was not unlike the mate of the Mary
Ann, and much stress was laid upon
this fact by the unfortunate Bing in his
explanation. So much so, in fact, that
both the mates got restless; the skipper,
who was a plain man, and given to
calling spade a spade, using the word
''pimply' with what seemed to them
unnecessary iteration.
It is possible that the interview might
have lasted for hours had not Bing sud
denly changed his tactics and begun to
throw out dark hints about standing a
dinner ashore, and settling it over q
friendly glass; The face of the Mary
AIMS captain began to clear, and as
Bing proceeded from generalities to de-
tails soft smile played over his ex-
pressive features. 1t was reflected in
the faces of the mates, who by these
means showed clearly that they under
stood the table was to be laid for four.
At this happy turn of affairs Bing
himself smiled, and a little while later
ships boat containing four boon COM
panions put off from the Mary Ann and
made for the shore. Of what afterward
ensued there is no distinct record, be.
yond what may be CLEANED from the
fact that the quartet turned up at mid
night arm in arm and affectionately re-
fused to be separated-even to enter the
ships boat. which was waiting for them
The sailors were at first rather nom
plussed, but by dint of much coaxing
and argument broke up the party, and
rowing them to their respective vessels
put them carefully to bed.-True Flag.

Some grown persons would seem to
think that there is no true place for
chastisement in system of education.
Such at all events is our impression of
those, and there are many parents
among them, who regard an ordinary
beating given in school as almost an in
dictable form of assault. People of this
kind have evidently forgotten the singu-
larities of their own wayward youth, or
perhaps their lives knew only genial
and untroubled springtime of good con-
duct. In neither case can their judg-
ment be relied upon to form rule of
discipline for the guidance of school
teachers. The bad boy will continue to
deserve and to repay with better be-
havior his needful thrashings, and even
the good boy will sometimes err and
will profit by corporal reproofs.
The truth about physical punishment,
we may take it, is that it is indispen-
sable--an evil perhaps, but necessary
one. 1t must be borne, but in order to
attain success with the least possible
amount of injurious friction it must also
be regulated. There must be no impul-
sive pulling about, no random strokes
with the hand or the ruler, no ear box
ing with its probable sequel-the rup-
tured tympanum. The head should
never be struck, not even slapped. We
may say the same of the body but for
one most tender but safely padded
prominence which appears to mark the
naturally appointed seat of childish af-
f1iction.-London Lancet.

A Metropolitan Philosopher.

The passenger with long hair and short
trousers had been figuring industriously
on the back of a soiled envelope ever
since the train left the Battery. He was
evidently deeply interested in some prob
lem. Two or three of the other passen-
gers remained with him in tho car until
Seventy second street was reached. He
kept his pencil moving all of the way up
town, and when he stepped out on the
station platform he held up the envelope
on which he had been figuring and ex-
claimed: 81 have just made most in
teresting discovery. travel more than
5000 miles on this elevated railroad
each year, and l have never had my life
insured. l go over the road four times
day, except Sundays, between Seven
ty-second street and the Battery OF Rec
tor street. That is about six miles a
a trip, or twenty-four miles day, and
for 300 days it amounts to just 1900
miles-a rather significant figure, con-
sidering that l live on Seventy-second
street.
"About three times each week l make
an. extra trip from Rector street to
Forty-second street and back. That is
eight miles day for 1856 days, which
amounts to 1,248 miles. Then average
twelve miles at least in my Sunday
pleasure rides, for l usually go to both
ends of the road. That would make
624 miles more, which, added to the
other total for the year, gives grand
total of 9,172 miles."-New York Times.
Shakespeare's AIlusions to Strawberries.
Though history and story are alike
silent as to the cultivation of the straw
berry in early times, we know that the
fruit was well known in England in tie
Fifteenth century. Shakespeare has three
illusions to strawberries. In 'sHenry
v" the Bishop of Ely, in illustration of
the good qualities which the young king
possessed, in spite of his wild habits and
Objectionable companions, says:
The strawberry grows underneath the nettle,
And wholesome berries thrive and ripen best
Neighbored by fruit of baser quality.
The reference here is obviously to the
wild berry. But in the play of ''Richard
III" strawberries are spoken of as grow
ing in the Bishop of Ely's garden at Hol-
born, and this seems to show that the
berry was cultivated with considerable
care as early as the latter part of the
Fifteenth century, though Haydn's ''Dic-
tionary of Dates" asserts that the COM
mon strawberry was brought to England
from Flanders in 1880.
1t is curious to note that 100 years
after the crafty Richard begged some of
the bishops strawberries, we find de-
scription of garden at Holborn, the
property of the rich barber surgeon,
Gerard, wherein four kinds of strawber-
ries-a great variety for the time-were
successfully cultivated. The third
Shakespearean allusion to this fruit is
in reference to the i'll fated handkerchief
of Desdemona, which was "spotted with
strawberries. ."-Horticultural Times.

IN SHADOW.

One moth sucks in flaming flower;
A light leans on the old church tower;
watch the moth, l watch the moon
A moth white slip
One silver tip,
From ragged tree tops slipping soon
To burn above them for an hour.
Tho spiced dew keeps the moth awake,
While heads of purple poppies shake
And cape drugged mouths against the
breeze
That loves to sing
Of wave and wing,
Appealing to the ghostly trees
That SOW broad blossoms on the lake.
My soul dreams at the blood red heart
OF what thou art, of what thou art;
Sad silence whispers something rare,
AS spirits know
When lilies blow
Beneath sweet heavens, woman fair
Ghosts lips and lips that speak apart.
My heart is wan as any bloom
The moonlight haunts beside tomb:
So weary wasted with a love
No words may speak,
Oh, dear and weakl
Here where your tombstone's marble dove
Makes all the brightness plaintive gloom.

4 Disguised Dreamer.

To induce lively dreams, an experienced
policy player of This city was in the habit
of gorging himself just before retiring
with mince pie and Welsh rarebit. This
heavy food kept him in restless slumber
all night, and in the morning, with the aid
of an unerring policy dreambook, he con-
verified into nun bers the objects of which
he had dreamed, combining them in sad
dies" gigs" and horses" and played
them for large amounts. He occasionally
made n hit, but his losses always kept far
in advance of his winnings In two years
he made such inroads on his employers
treasury that he was enabled to enrich the
policy men to the amounted s31, ZOO, all of
which he had stolen from his employers
by classifying his books. Now he dreams
without the aid of Welsh rarebit or mince
pie, a disguised, hopeless, heart crushed
