full and fearful variety of tires and
the reaction in favor of OrdinarieS.
There are very few of the old-fash-
Toned tires to be seen, but superior as
the new kinds are they look very I'M
calmly, Beside some Of the new in
ventions the prehistoric bone-shaker
would look elegant. Every possible
accessory to a cycle is eXhibited-seats
to be affixed to safeties, so that baby
may accompany father in his rides
without fear of falling off, errand
boys boxes, patent pedals and ham
dies, the latest thing in saddles,
bells, lamps and brakes, suitable
clothing for cyclists, glue for tire
some tires, cyclometers, spick and
span spanners, and other necessary
tools; oils for lighting and cleaning
purposes, chain, covers, mud shields,
and so on ad intinitum. A baby car
rirge with pneumatic tires is indeed
a novelty. One would think that the
average nurse could push a baby car
riage fast enough at present, and that
it should scarcely be likely that anx-
ious mothers would view with equa-,
nimity the prospect Of their darlings
being bounced out by an unexpected.

Encouraging MatrImonY.

In Norway there is a premium on
marriage by giving married people a
discount. Thus a man and his wife
can travel for a fare and half, a
schedule of rates much more satisfy
ing to everyone than children half
price," and much more reasonable.
1t is suggested that this privilege is
liable to abuse. A prudent man
might prolong his courtship indetl-
nitely at reduced rates. This, how
ever, could be easily prevented by
obliging married people to carry their
certificates about with them, as they
could easily do, in red morocco cases,
like Communication tickets on rail-
roads.

CHANCELLOR CAPRIvI's last speech
is interesting for its numerous indi-
cations of coming policy One thing
is clearly shown in it, and that is the
tendency of Germany and Austria to
cling together, and to rely, in the fu-
ture, upon dual alliance Of their
own rather than on an entangling
Triple" agreement, to which Italy
will not have the strength to adhere.
Race will tell, and it is pretty certain
that the Germanic peoples foresoe a
formidable attack upon them by the
Northern and Southern Slays, and
are coolly getting ready for it.

A uND-READER in Peoria intends
next June to permit himself to be
buried while in an imitation state of
rigor mortis, His grave is to be kept
green with crop of barley that will
sprout, ripen and be harvested
thereon. Then the plan includes the
disinterment of the mind-reader,
who is expected to be alive, and, eX-
cept for a goneness at the pit of the
stomach, fairly well. 1t is hoped
that the influence of the intelligent
people of the neighborhood will be
sufficient to prevent this sacrilege Of
the tomb. A mind-reader who can
enrich the soil has done more than
most of his kind He should not be
disturbed.

One Of the latest pieces of auto
matte machinery invented for prac-
tical purposes is the automatic news
paper seller now being manufactured
extensively in Ohio. The picture
shows the machine as it will appear
in hotels, depots, and other public
places, where it is expected it will
largely do away with the enterprising
and interesting newsb0y, 1t is not
possible to describe the mechanism,
but its ingenuity can be imagined
when when it is known that it will
sell any size and weight Of paper from
the forty-page Sunday blanket sheet
to the four-page penny daily, and will
return proper change when the price
is under a nickel. 1t can also be set
to make change for any coin, and it
cannot be cheated. If the buyer sets
it for change for half dollar and,
then puts in a quarter instead, the
machine outsharps the would-be
sharp by returning no change at all.
While is is not expected that it will
supplant the newsboys, it will, un
doubtedly greatly lessen their NUM-

ENGLAND has revived an old law
against swearing, A laborer may in
dulge in profanity at l shilling per
oath, with no reduction for large lots.
When the sinner stands socially
above the laborer, but beneath u
gentleman, the price is shillings.
Above the gentleman the assessed
figure is shillings, 1t is noted as a
grievous fault that the law makes no
provision for unholy lapsl linguW on
the part Of gentlemen, and fails to
state what manner Of creature is
better than gentleman and yet
prone to errors Of utterance.

LOOKING over the "HOusehold
Hints" which are a part of so many
periodicals of the day, we see that
none are ever addressed to the male
members of the family. Why not
once in a while put in something like
the following: "Be sure to close the
door after you when you go down to
business in the morning." "If you
wish to find your scissors in their
proper place when you want them, be
sure to put Them back when you have
done using them" and the like.
Surely, men are members of the
household, and as such ere deserving
of valuable hints"

The latest novelty in the way of
expeditions is one for exploring the
center of the earth. Mr.. Rider
Haggard, in his widest imaginings,
never conceived of anything more
absurdly fantastic than the hunt after
"Symsonia," the mythical land in the
interior Of this globe, to which light
is supposed to be admitted through
apertures at the north and south
poles The gallant explorers are to
60 to Greenland, and then to follow
the wild animals who mysteriously
disappear somewhere in the north
every autumn, and were supposed,
according to a theory invented by Il
man named Symmes, at the begin
ming Of this century, to 90 inside the
globe. One thing seems pretty GER
tain, and that is that the expedition
will go inside the animals before it
gets very far into the rccesseS Of the
earth.

STATISTICS furnished by France
would seem to prove that the in
crease in lunacy in that country,
which is directly due to alcoholic
stimulants, is indirectly due to the
work, worry and fcyerish business
push of the last quarter Of the nine
teenth century. This life at high
pressure feels the demand for some
thing upon which an Oyerdrained
vitality may feed, The first thing,
of course, is stimulant more or less
injurious, the use of which increases
until the victim becomes insane.

Why Gould Left Nothing in Charity.

To account for Jay Gould's lack of
charitable requests it is alleged that
several years ago he publicly gave a
large sum to a minister for some
benitlcent object. At once all the
other ministers began to howl about
"bloOd money" and to denounce Mr..
Gould and his business methods from
the pulpit. Naturally Mr.. Gould was
annoyed and the holy men found that
in their zeal they had slain the goose
which might have kept on laying
golden eggs, for Mr.. Gould never
again publicly donated any sum to
charity. Privately he is said to have
been very charitable.

London,s Hnrrld Air.

The latest solution proposed for
the London fog and smoke nuisance
is the use of gas for all cooking, heat
ing and laundry purposes. The au-
thor of the scheme would make its
use compulsory, He estimates that
it would cost only Sl20, 000 600 to buy
up the gas companies and the cost of
the new plant to enable the whole Of
the 5000, goo tons Of coal now burned
in London to be consumed as gas
would be $5j, 900, 600 more. Gas, as
a result, would be cheapened, smoke
would disappear, so, 1000, 000 would
be saved outright each year, and Lon
don life would be lived in sunlight by
day and electricity by night.

The reports of the mercantile
agencies put the failures for 1892 at
10, 344, with liabilities at $l14,00O,-
600. This is less than in any year
since 1886 when 1884 failures showed
total of liabilities of Sl14, 644, l19.
To go under this figure we have to
go back to 1882, when there were g.
73S failures, with liabilities of $10l,-
547, 564. The figures for 1892 give a
decrease of $75, 900, 600 from 1890.

Terell was endorsed by both, and
