History of the Bicycle.

When the bicycle was first imported
from France and introduced on the
roads of American rural retreats and
streets of cities it was regarded in the
light Of a plaything, which would live
its allotted period and then be cast aside
as of no utility. Roller skates came
along about the same period as an
American invention, from which it was
claimed great practical results would be
derived, highly beneficial to those who
Roller skates never rose in use above
that made of them by boys and girls, to
many Of W HON they proved an injury in
spinal and ankle defects. The bicycle,
on the other hand, has developed USE
fulness which the needs of business as
we'll as enjoyment OF healthy exercise
have seized and utilized in high degrees
Of benefit. Men and women use
the bicycle as well as boys and girls,
and 1t is a genuine help in whatever
way it is called into requisition to further
business, promote health and increase
pleasure. In many ways the bicycle
has become Indispensable. There are
men who cannot dispense with the
wheel in the pursuit of their business,
and there are localities where it has be-
come indispensable to women and girls
In traversing distances too long to walk
and yet not long enough to call in q
horse to make the conveyance This,
then, puts the bicycle on a level in
degrees with the horse, and nowhere
more than here are the advantages Of
the wheel shown to better effect

Worth Copying.

A great many wise precepts are found
some 100 years ago. Here are some
of them:
pleasing the palate is the main end
IN most books of cookery, but it is my
aim to blend the toothsome with the
wholesome. The term gourmand or
epicure has been strangely perverted :,
it has been conceived synonymous with
glutton, who will eat as long as be can
sit and drink longer than he can stand,
or like the great eater of Kent, whom
Fuller places among his worthless, and
tells us that he did eat with ease thirty
dozen pigeons at one meal, at another
eighteen yards of black pudding"
"a gay marquis said to Descartes,
DO you philosophers eat Gainties?' He
replied, DO you think that God made
good things only for tools?'
'The temperate man is the greatest
epicure and the only true voluptuary. !"
1.-The stomach is the handspring of
our system, and it influence our actions
The destiny of nations has often de-
pended upon the more or less laborious
digestion of a prime minister"
'PythagOras commanded his disciple
TO abstain from beans DR.. Samuel
Johnson said, Some people have a
foolish way of not minding or pretend
not to mind what they eat. For my
part, l mind my stomach very studi-
ously and very carefully, and | look
upon it that he who does not mind his
stomach will hardly mind anything
else The pleasures of the table have
been highly appreciated and carefully
cultivated in all countries and in all
ages"
"a good dinner is one of tho greatest
enjoyments of human life. Mere
money is a very inadequate compen-
sation to complete cook. There is no
question more frequently asked, or
which medical man finds more diff
Guilty in answering to the satisfaction Of
himself and his patient, than What do
you wish me to eat?' "
1.-THE editor has been materially as
sisted by Henry Osborne, the excellent
cook Of Sir Joseph Banks, president Of
the Royal Society. He was so impressed
by the Importance Of the subject that
he sent his cook to assist him in his
arduOus task"
'The term epicure means only the
person who has good sense and good
taste enough to wish to have his food
cooked according to scientific prin-
ciples, that is to say, so prepared that
the palate be not offended, that it be
rendered easy of digestion, and ulti-
mately contribute to health'

Curing "Slck" Pearls.

At the foot of cliff under the win
dows of the Castle of Miramar, formerly
the residence Of the Mexican Emperor
Macmillan, at depth of eighty feet
below the surface Of the clear waters of
the Adriatic, is a kind of cage fashioned
by divers in the face of the rock. In
that cage are some of the most magnifi-
cent pearls in existence. They belong
to the Archduchess Rainer. Having
been left unworn for long time, the
gems lost their color and became 'sick, ,"
and the experts were unanimous in de-
cIarlDg that the. only means by which
they could be restored to their original
brllllancv was by submitting them to q
prolonged immersion in the depth of
the sea. They have been lying there
for number of years, and are gradu-
ally but very slowly regaining their
former unrlvaled luster.

He Had Snakes. Sure.

A startling story comes from near Mo-
nongahela City of the frightful expert
ence Of a farmer by the name of Bever-
ly Wickerham, who can fatter himself
on being alive and we'll to-day. A few
evenings ago Wickerham retired at the
usual hour. He sleeps on the first floor
and his bed was near an open window,
owing to the extreme warm weather.
During the night large blacksnake
came to the house and crawled in the
window and made for the bed in which
Wickerham was soundly sleeping.
Curling itself close up beside the sleep
er the reptile dozed away into slumber-
land. Wickerham awakened at dav-
break and turned over to get up. AS
he did so the movement awoke his
snakeship, who rose up and made ready
to spring upon the halt-awake and be-
wlldered man. He could scarcely be-
lieve his eyes when first seeing the
snake. but in a second more he was out
OF bed with one great bound and aroused
the inmates of the house. He secured
club and with one powerful and we'll
directed blow ended the life of the rep

The old National road, as it was called,
leading from the Eastern seaboard to
the West and South, and constituting
the main public thoroughfare in the
pre-railroad epoch, takes part of it's way
through the hill co lntry of Eastern

Free Press, and along It's devious and

The Electric FryIng-pan.

IL is now possible to cook with cleo
triCity. The bottom of an ordinary
frying-pan is coated with an Insulating
enamel, in which is Undecided a zigzag
wire conveying the current. To pre-
vent radiation from the insulating en-
amel the plate on its under surface is
protected with asbestos The wire is
made of an alloy which can stand great
heat, and becoming very hot it makes
the iron hot-about $50 to 500 degrees.

A FRIEND In NEED.

The old adage is that "a friend in
need is friend indeed" This every
one will acknowledge who has tried
that sterling remedy, Reds GERMAN
Cough AND KIDNEY CURE. When
racked by violent cough or suffering
with terrible cold this great remedy
comes like a messenger of peace with
healing on its wings. 1t at once
stimulates the kidneys so that they
resume their normal functions: if aids
tne lungs to throw off the surplus car
bonlc acid; and it restores the circu-
latlon to its accustomed vigor. When
this IS done, but not until it is done.
Will the system be restored and the
cold be banished No one can take
even one dose Of this great remedy
without feeling the benefit. 1t acts
at once, and at the same time it is
perfectly harmless. It never under
any circumstances does harm. This
makes it the most invaluable Of cough
remedies. Get it of any dealer.

When the Tran is Sprung

Upon usi as it sometimes is, in most unexpect-
ed manner by disease, we appreciate the fact
that it is most insidous foe, and that not only
is it necessary to combat it by the most potent
medicinal agencies, but to prevent its mani
testation at all by counteracting the causes that
produce it. Thus exposure in wet weather, the
enforced wearing of damp clothes during q
storm, a thorough draught, unaccustomed diet
and water bodily or mental overWork, are
breeders of disease, but HOstetter's Stoma oh
Bitters will prevent their inducing This
medicine fortifes the system against ne as
sured effects such causes would Otherw1s pro-

vantage. Dyspepsia, kidney trouble, maIarial

THE cow BOY,

BY LARRY CHITTENDEN, POET RANCHNAN.
He wears big hat ana big spurs and all that
And leggius of,tancy tringed leather
He takes pride in his boots ana the pistol he
shoots,
And he's happy in all kinds of weather.
He is fond of his horse-'tis a broncho, of
course,
For, oh he can ride like-the devil
He is old for his years and he always appears
TO be foremost at roundup or Tevel
He can sing, he can cook-yet his eyes have a
look
Of a man that to fear is a stranger,
And his cool, quiet nerve Will always Subserve
In his wild life OF duty and danger.
He gets little to eat and he guys tenderfeet,
And for fashion, oh well-"he's not in it,
He can rope q gay steer when he gets on!hiS ear
IA SauGIe'S the best in the wild Wooly West,
Sometimes it will cost sixty dollars.
All! he knows all the tricks when he brands
mavericks,
But his learning's not gained from your
scholars.
He is loyal as steel ana demands square deal,
And he hates and despises a coward;
\ ct the cowboy you'll find unto woman is kind,
Though he'll fight till by death overpowered.
Hence say unto you, give the cowboy his due,
And be kinder, my friends to his folly,
For he's generous and brave though he may
not behave
Like the dude who is so melancholy.
