A New Kind of n wheel.

II is proposed to obyiate, by means Of
simple arrangement, the jolts and jars and
vibrations common to vehicles when driven
over rough roads or street pavements when
ordinary wheels Of rigid construction are
employed Surrounding the outside OF the
periphery of the wheel, and in close con-
tact with the tire, are series of independ-
ent springs. which form the outer tread of
the wheel; these springs are SO arranged az
to work in conjunction with each other.
and when moving under n heavy load their
free ends are sprung in toward the rim.
AMI coincide with the true or working peri
phery Of the wheel, the springs not coming
In contact with the plane until the spring
IL nearly under the center of gravity.
In this way the spring resistance is used
In sustaining the load. and not in retard
ing the movements OF the wheel, the
springs, after passing the center OF gravity,
eNerting force against the plane over
which they are passing TO force the wheel
ahead, thus making, as IL Is claimed, q
wheel that is not only easy riding, but easy
propelling as well.-New York sun.

Women Not All Alike

One OF the constitutional opinions Of the
average man is that women are NIL alike
II crops out In his speech perpetually,
sometimes In the way OF kindness and sym
pathy, oftencr in the way Of derision and
contempt. When n wife has forgiven some
great wrong done her by her husband.
when mother has sacrificed herself for
her children, we hear, 1T is Just like
woman" We hear the same thing II she
has deceived her lover or involved her
father In debt. This dissent is due to the
TACT that some men are sentimcntalists.
and that more men are cynics The former
are always praising woman, the latter are
generally sneering at or decrying her; but
both think that she has only one nature
The sentimentalist believes her to be good.
gentle, loyal, truthful under every circum.
stance; the cynic pronounces her bad,
harsh, inconstant, hypocritical on instinct.
Neither Is wholly right nor wholly
wrong. She Is good and bad, gentle and
harsh, loyal and inconstant, truthful and
hypocritIcal. Her qualities depend LARGELY
on the individual, and the individual
varies with mood and environment. She il
not cut out Of the ideal, nor Il she drawn
from debasement. She Is primarily human.
as man Is; compound of brain and body.
OF strength and weakness, of generosity
and seliishness, Of charity and prejudice.
OF altruism and egotism, OF affection and
aversion. Some women are far bette4ss
some women are far worse than the mass.

she Obtained over H5oo, 600 on Alleged
Orders frosa Royalty.
There Is In prison in St. Petersburg, Rus
sia, q woman who IL one Of the most expert
and successful swindlers Of the century
The story OF her life would read like fie-
ton. The name of this famous or ipfa-
nous creature is Mime. Apparuti, and she
obtained sums Of money amounting In the
aggregate to over $500, 900 from a number
of confiding people on the ground that she
had expected very large orders for the Rus
sian court aud wan unable to obtain pay
ment. In order to further impress the
public she exhibited in her showrooms a
gorgeous purple mantle, richly embroid-
cred with gold, purporting to be for the
czarina- Some time after Mime. Apparuti
had departed for st. Petersburg her many
creditors deputed cne of their number to
follow her and to make inquiries.
This gentleman, who received the hearty
cooperation Of the Russian authorities,
was not long in discovering that Mime.
Apparuti was entirely unknown to the
empress and the ladies of the court He
also succeeded in obtaining from Mime.
Apparuti. who is in the hospital in conse-
quenee OF an accident, a complete confes-
sion Of her culpability. The various docu.
ments which the scheming dressmaker
used all bore very official looking stamp,
with an imperial eagle" and a Russian
inscription thereon. The die for this was
made from the seal Of the custom house
at Moscow taken from an old envelope
The documents to which these stamps
were affixed were mostly sham orders
pnrportng to come from the Russian
court or bogus invoices OF goods supplied.
Nine. Apparutis imaginary "little bill"
against the empress for the year 1889
amounts to the respectable total of eai 900.
Fortunately for the court OF Greece the
bill against II Is also mere bogus docu-
ment, As among its items are two, amount
ing to Gi4,0O0. for royal mantle and
court robes
On arriving at St. Petersburg Mime Ap-
paruti wrote long and specioiIs letters to
her impatient creditors in Paris dcscrib-
ing the constant delays and the difficult
ties OF obtaining money from the Russian
court-in fact, in all her dealings the too
clever nodiste displayed marvellous pow
ers Of imagination and an unlimited sup
ply Of bold impudcnee-as, for instance.
when she invited Nine. Carnot to visit her
showrooms to inspect the famous 'impe-
rial MANTLE" She also went so far ms TO
describe-of course entirely from her own
