The Way the Psychological Girl Culti-
Yates n Spirit of Charity.

The psychological girl is purely q
product of the nineteenth century.
She never could have existed under

Herald.
sat behind one of these youthful
philosophers at the theater one even
ing. Along toward the close of the
last act couple came in and made
every one in the row get up to let
them pass. The psychological girls
escort. a meek looking youth, made
some remark about people being late
and disturbing half the house, when
his companion said:
"You have no right to blame them
for being late. Probably the woman
kept the man waiting for three-quar-
tiers OF an hour. But that was not her
fault. and she is not to blame. She
can't help being late. 1t is one of her
ldiosyncrasies."
Cant help being late!" the young
man exclaimed, incredulously.
'"No," was the answer. "She is sim
ply unable to estimate time. Now, for
example, continued the young lady,
stake the young man who Is always
behind time. He never allows him
self time enough TO do things. 1t al
ways takes him longer than he thinks.
1t Is not that he oyerestimates his own
work, but he simply underestimate
time. This same person will underes-
innate the value of things and under
estimate the cleverness or the good
ness of his friends. On the other
hand, the man who Is always few
minutes early for an engagement is
the man who overestimates time and
everything else. Other things being
equal he will be affected by the elo-
quence OF the last speaker in debate.
He is apt to think the last good book
the best he has ever read. He is con-
ceited and he probably overestimates
the ability OF his friends. He thinks
they are better or smarter or more
generous than they really are. He is
as unreliable as the other person. The
strangest thing is that in the matter
Of idiosyncrasies we are all astonish-
ingly consistent.
Il am always watching people and
studying their idiosyncrasies. l find

Just then the curtain rose, and the
psychological young woman turned
her attention to the stage, wEile re-
lapsed into thoughtfulness. decided

after for keeping me waiting half an
hour. for now knew that she was not

The Drop"

"Have you any idea how fast man
could shoot a pistol in the border
daysp" said j. W. Delany. Montana
ranchman, as he continued the serial
yarn he had been spinning for the But
tonholer.
"A man who couldn't pull trigger
SO fast that you couldn't distinguish
between the successive shots was slow.
When they emptied their guns il
sounded like one long report. And
pull! Why, I've seen men that could
kill you before you could shoot If you
had gun leveled at them.
"Fact. Take the time when Doc
Hamilton, the VIGOROUSLY bad man of
Colorado, killed Sheriff Harrity in Dem
yer. Hamilton had been wanted for
several killings and was dead shy.
When he turned corner he'd walk
away around near the edge of the
pavement. Afraid some one would
get the drop on him if he turned too
sharp, you know.
"One day he was in hurry, how
ever, and ran around corner and
looked square into Winchester held
by Harrity.
swell, Doc, l got you,' says Har-
rity.
".You'ye got too strong a hand,
Harrity, and l can't call you,' says
Hamilton, taking it cool and easy as
you please.
"'Yes, full house, Doc; guess you
better travel on in 'front.'
Hamilton was standing with his
umbrella on his hip, leaning on it. He
looked the sheriff square in the eye.
Mind you, the rifle wasn't four feet
from him, and leyeled straight for his
head. just as Doc started to move a
runaway horse came down the street.
Harrity inyoluntarily glanced in that
direction. Doc saw his eyes waver for
an instant, pulled his gun-you see he
had his hand on his hip-and shot Har-
rity stone dead before he could pull
the trigger of his rifle. Washington

The Books of Last Year.

There is no end to the making OF
books. Publishers complain that last
year was in many respects bad one
for them, and yet the number OF
volumes let loose upon the world was
larger than during the preceding
twelve months. In 1892 no fewer than
4.915 new works were published and
1889 new editions. An analytical list
OF these works is given in the publish.

BICYCLING FOR CHILDREN.
Facts that Parents VIII Do Well to Bear
In Mind.

The average mother OF the average
small child yields without question, il
her purse permits it to his request for
bicycle, tricycle. or yelocipede. That
in SO doing she sometimes does the
boy or girl serious wrong is attested
by the harmful results which often
follow. An English surgeon writing
in the Bicycling News lays down the
rule that, given the usual develop
ment OF six years, that is the earliest
age to permit child to cycle, and the
caution is added that this in many
cases is too early.
"Great care" the writer goes on to
say, should be taken in choosing and
fitting the machine. 1t should be
light, of course, the gearing low
enough to admit of short crank
throw Qour inches is generally
ample for child of 6 or y and the
saddle and spring properly adapted to
the weight and size of the rider. But
most important of all is the length of
reach. This should be quite short; the
child should be able easily to touch
the pedal at its lowest point with the
heel. Nothing is more injurious than
reach SO long that the unfortunate
boy appears as il riding on rail. just
touching the pedals with the tips of
his toes.
"Then the position must be carefully
studied. Young growing tissues are
easily distorted, and a saddle too far
back and handles too far forward
would certainly cause curved spine
and permanent camel's hump. The
peak of the saddle two inches behind
the crank axle and handles so brought
round and back that the child can sit
perfectly upright on the machine are
two things that must be insisted upon
in buying either bycicle or tricycle.
for a young rider"
When he is we'll mounted the i'm
portant question of how far he may
ride comes up. Touching this, the
Neaos further says:
mo absolute rule can be laid down,
as no two children Of the same age is
alike. The only thing that can be
said is that anything more than mod
crate fatigue is injurious. A young
growing child suffers much from over
exertion. Though at the finish of a
ride he may seem fairly fresh, still, il
he has done too much, the results will
be apparent soon after, and a sleepless
night and distaste for food will show
that the system is poisoned by the
products of its own waste. And it
must be remem bered while treating OF
this subject that excessive speed is
more injurious than excessive dis
tance-and excessive hill elm bing
than either.
"The great test by means Of which a
judgment may be formed as to the
distance which is sufficient for each
child is to observe: First. how he
sleeps the night after the ride; second,
how ne takes his food; third, how he
Is the day after If he sleeps we'll,
eats we'll, and is bright and lively the
next day, the riding has not been
pushed too far, and has done good, not
harm, but if he is feverish and Sleep
less, refuses his food and is languid,
dull and thirsty the next day. then it
is certain that too much has been ac-
&C mplished, and that such rides, il
persisted in, will lead to mischief

where they are, and that they receive $1,O0-

this year an appropriation of only $E,-
