Rubber Tires for Carriages.

The success of rubber tires on bicy.

increase the comfort of buggy and

Deadheads of the Ocean.

On the table of a down town Sh
market 1 saw a curious sight. 1t was
monster crab with splendid speci-
men Of the sea aster attached to its
back. Thus welded they were caught
in a net near the Highlands. 1t is
not often that a catch Of this kind is
made, for the sea aster, when he finds
himself in difficulties, is apt to sud-
denly release his hold and slip away.
Why he neglected to do so in this
case is unexplained.
For the benefit of younger readers
it may be we'll to state that the sea
aster is frequently found off the coast
of new Jersey. In shape it resembles
small tufted sheaf Of wheat, the
tuft itself suggesting the idea Of the
familiar flower from which it takes
its name.
Generally its color is dingy white,
but occasionally specimen Is found
that is bright yellow in complexion.
1t is always striped and spotted in
brown. Its tuft is composed Of
feathery tentacles of pinklike hue.
By means of numerous powerful
suckers it firmly atfixes itself to the
back of some able-bodied crab or
lobster, and is conveyed to the haunts
of those crustaceans, upon whose food
it revels OF course it is most un-
welcome guest and passenger, but the
crab or lobster cannot shake it of
until it chooses to relax its hold.

A GREAT FEATURE.

Nine. Merantette. the Most Daring
and Successful Rider In the world
at the State Fair.
TOPEKA, September 2.-One OF the
leading features of the approaching
state fair will be the exhibitions given
daily in trout of the grand stand by the
champion lady rider Of the world, Mime.
Marantette, the NEST graceful, accom-
plished and daring Of her sex now be-
fore the public, with her tandem team
of four. thoroughbreds, and the unpar-
alleled high jumper, 'Filemaker," hold
ing the worlds record Of feet
inches. The saddle performances OF this
lady are truly wonderful, and never fail
to elicit the highest encomiums Of rress
and people. With her celebreted equine
companion she seems to fairly float
through the air, the stupendousness OF
her daring leaps holding her auditors in
breathless suspense. while she accom-
plishes miraculous feats Of horseman-
ship. Her management Of the horse is
simply Incompatible, and she has been
secured by the management for a series
of exhibitions at our state fair.
