 Like the world famous J. s. Johnson, Bird started as a skater. Last year he did excellent work on the wheel, but during the present season he has eclipsed all of his previous performances
 Among his most notable wins are the fol- lowing: Twenty-Five mile Como road race in l:l3:03 3-5; the 10 mile championship of the St. Paul Cycle club in 2s:5s and the state championship races of one-quarter, one-half, one and five miles He has also established state records as follows: One quarter mile, 945l; one mile. 2:S3 Is and miles, 14:l4. His times in the Como road race and 10 mile St Paul c. C. champion ship are also state records for 10 and 25 miles.

It is rare tact that ''gets all the best words" after q rebuff. Politicians need it. Colonel Stone of Tennessee on one occasion got the last word at least. When he was running for governor, he met for the first time a delegate from one of the rural counties to the state convention. The colonel said:
 q am glad to meet you. have known your father for many years, but neve- had the pleasure of your acquaintance. I see, however, that the son is better look ing than the father"
 Look here. colonel" said the dele gate, you need not be tiatterinS me up. for am out and out for Barksdale for governor, although the old man is for you"
 "Why, simply find you better look ing than your father, but I did not say you had half as much sense as he has, :" returned the colonel.
 Those standing around roared with laughter, in which the delegate good humoredly joined.-Youth's Companion.

Farewell, dear body! have thrilled you

 With all the love that angels ever knewi Sometimes with towering rage and mischief

 That would drive Lucifer out of paradise! Sometimes with kindred spirits we have met In high symposium that can't forget! How can we part? Alas cannot stay. Here ends the long, sweet, sad, delightful way. I mourn for you. feel sensation creep That would be tears, but spirits do not weep. How have l bathed, protected, petted you, With constant care your lightest wish to do! What heavenly beauty have known in you, Those shapely limbs. with bright blood man

 The supreme air of heavenly forms above, Bright image of our God, whose name is love! The Master calleth me! I must fulfill My destined course and meet his holy will. All aching, full of love. dear form, tell The parting hour is come. Sweet clay, farewelE Now arise above the days and hours, But thou must rest among the birds and flowers.

A countryman, wishing to convey a pig to town without paying the toll, put it into a cart and covered it with cab bages. On reaching the gate he said to the collector:
 Look here, tomorrow intend bring ing pig to town. l shall put it in my cart and cover it up with cabbages. If you will just close one eye, you shall have handsome tip"
 "All right" said the collector.
 Next day the countryman drove up with his cart loaded with cabbages. The collector stepped up to him and whis- pered in his ear:
 "So you've got the pig with you to- day?"
 No. brought it yesterday" was the mans reply.-Corriere della Sera.

IT IS THE VIGILANT.
She Is Chosen to Defend the Cap Against
 the Valkyrie.


 NEW YORK, Sept 1a-There will be no more trial races The great white sloop Nigilant, the heeteSt of all the yachts which the genius of the blind boatbuilder of Bristol has produced, has been officially chosen as the boat to defend the America's cup. Her crowning victory was won when over tumbling and wind swept ocean she showed her mighty superiority over her antagonists. It was an excellent day to test yachts. The wind blew steady and strong, and the seas rolled in from the eastward in d way that made the racers and their attendant train of excursion steamers tugs and yachts pitch and roll to the tossing and tumblinG of the pillows.
 The Boston fin keels did not stand the test. Accidents happened to the Jubilee which led Der to make poorer showing than she otherwise would have done, but taking out of consideration these accidents she in no way showed that she was a boat upon which the hopes of the country could be safely pinned.
 The Pilgrim, the extreme of the fin keels. proved that she was the first and last of her type that would ever be built of her size She was a bold and daring eXperi- ment, and she is a failure. The Colonia did well for keelboat of her size, but the possibilities of a centerboard on a boat over 60 feet were fully eXemplitied in the way the Nigilant beat her.
 Lord Dunraven's English cutter Valky- rie, which will contest with the Nigilant for the Americas cup on Sept 2S, is not eX- pected here for two days, although she sailed from London 10 days ago. Experts do not expect her to make the voyage in less than 20 days.

Chicken SautR.

One of the incest dishes for luncheon or high tea is the poulet saute. It is in expensive, very quickly done and ex- ceedingly easy to cook. Procure a ten der chicken or fowl. This is most i'm portant, for if the fowl is tough it will be uneatable. Cut up your fowl as fol- lows: Legs, wings, breast, wishbone, the liver and the best part of the body. The rest goes with the giblets, which you put in a stewpan, including the wing tips and the remainder of the body, the head and the neck. Cover these with three quarters of pint of water, add a small onion with clove in it, salt and pepper. Put the lid on and let it boil till reduce to teacupful.
 Now take a stew or saute pan, put three ounces of butter in it, brown your fowl in it aS soon as it is melted and keep on turning the different pieces with fork, raising your pan from the fire SC that it does not catch. When done which will be in about half an hour sprinkle a teaspoonful of flour all over it, add little more butter, and by de grees-but only by degrees, or you will ruin the appearance of your dish-pour in the liquor, reduced to a teacupful. and then dish it.

MADE HER FAT.
Mrs. Halliday Had Been Taking Only One
 Meal a Day.

MONTICELLO, \. Y, Sept. 12.-Mrs. Hal liday was examined by Dr. s. A. McWil- Hams, health officer of Sullivan county. After an examination of two hours he stated that Mrs. Halliday was in perfect physical health, but would not commit himself in regard to her sanity.
 Since her Imprisonment Mrs. Halliday has refused to eat more than one meal a day. Fearing that this course would re- suit in serious illness to the prisoner, Sher- if Berehr procured the services of A physi- clan, who, assisted by the sheriff and Dis trict Attorney Hill administered nourish- ment 10 her forcibly.
 Hundreds of people daily are visiting Monticello in the hope of seeing the prison. CT. Rev. J. F. Mclaughlin, the priest in charge of St. Peters Roman Catholic church, called upon Mrs Halliday and en- deavored to engage her in conversation, but the woman would not speak to him. It is said that extra efforts will be made to have the prisoner tried at this term of court be fore Judge Fursman.

THE CUT IN FORGE.
Only the Spinners Escaped More Than
 10 Fer Cent Reduction.

ID Ter cent HeuuCIlOn.
 NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Sept. 12.-There is much exc t"ment among weavers in this city in regard 10 the cutdown in the sev- eral cotton mills. Nearly all the mills are running. but it is claimed that in some of them, while the spinners received only the agreed upon . per cent cut, the weavers, doffers aad back boys cut will average much more, in some instances the cut of these operatives being as high as IS or 20 per cent.
 The exception to this is at the Rowland, Rotchs and New Bedford Manufacturing companies mills. where the operatives say the cut is but 10 per cent straight for all.
 At the Acushuet mill the back boys and dofTers inaugurated a strike, and it would take little to precipitate one among the help outside the spinners in all the mills except the Rowland, Rutchs and New Bedford Manufacturing companies. The weavers claim the reason the cut of the spinners is but 10 per cent is because their union is well organized and powerful

R PHILOSOPHER.
A Case Where Words Were Entirely Out
 of Place.


 of Place
 Robert Grant, in Scribner's Magazine, lefines by an incident what he calls a ''thoroughgoing. square trotting philos- opher." This is his illustration, neces- sarily shortened. Possibly lovers of fish ing will agree that not even the most unmerciful curtailing could deprive it 2f force:
 l remember taking little Fred, my eld- est son, to skate with me one winters afternoon on a suburban pond. He did famously for tyro, but we both wearied at last of his everlasting strife to main tain the perpendicular, and I was con- scious of rush of joy when he became completely absorbed in watching a man who was fishing for pickerel through a hole in the ice.
 Caught anything:" asked he.
 "Nop."
 Had q bite?"
 Mop"
 "How long you been fsh1ng?"
 "An hour"
 As glided away light heartedly on the delicious curves of the outer edge, I re- fected that he was evidently persever- ing pot hunter. who would not be easily discouraged, and that could count upon his expressing the attention of my off spring for considerable period. Accordingly l was surprised some five minutes later to observe the fisherman shambling across the pond toward the shore. A moment afterward 1 learned what had happened.
 The horny handed pot hunter, having presently pulled solitary pickerel out upon the ice and freed it from his hook, turned aside to cut another piece of bait, whereupon my hopeful picked up the fish and popped it back into its native element without so much as a syllable | of commentary, and thereupon he of the horny hand, having realized the situa- ton in its terrible entirety, pulled up his line, shoveled back the particles of ice into the hole and betook himself upon his shambling way without a word. Not a word, mark you. The only al ternative was child murder or silence, and my pot hunter chose the simplest form of the dilemma.
 ''I thought the fish would like it," said little Fred, when interrogated upon the subject.

Egyptian Cats Fond of the Water.

By some persons the popularity of the cat in Egypt has been attributed to the fact that the animal was valuable in rid ding the palaces of rats and mice and also in hunting fowl. There are several paintings in the British museum, exc cuted by ancient Egyptian artists, rep resenting Egyptian sportsmen in boats on the river Nile, accompanied by large cats, sitting on their launches in the stern. Other pictures show the cats swim ming with birds ill their mouths after the manner of retriever dogs. These pictures have greatly perplexed modern naturalists because the cat of today has strong aversion to water, and it is diff ficult to reconcile such different traits even after the lapse of thousands oi years.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.
