Though France was the only country
which at this period took an interest
IN cycling, it was rot long before Eug-
land came into the field with numerous
improvements, an ong which may be
mention ed those appertairing to the
hohbyhorse, the facilitator and
the vHriOus vehicles moved by
hand. The next great Improvement
was made in 1885. when Michaux and
his son conceived the ingenious idea Of
adding cranks and pedals to the guiding
wheel. There has been much discussion
OF late as to whether the elder Michaux
o. his son was the real initiator Of the
pedal, and the conclusion arrived at IS

Food and Drink for Crons

In addition to the value of some fer
dlizers as plant food, their ability to
gather moisture from the air doubles
their usefulness in times Of drouth.
Some substances have a great affinity.
for water, taking it freely from the air.,
which is scientifically known as de-
liquescence. The nitrates possess this
property to the largest extent, salts Of
potash are almost as deliquescent, and
gypsum, land plaster and artificial fer
tilizers generally have this property.
Thus it is useful to apply fertilizers in
the dryest time, for the damp air Of the
summer nights will supply all the
moisture needed to dissolve them and.
make them available for the crops. AS
soon as any soluble substance is dis
solved it spreads through the soil by
diffusion, and thus the application Of
a light top dressing Of fertilizer shows
Its effects in q few hours after it is
made. =; n

foreign manufacturers found them
selves suddenly flooded with orders.
To persons who are thinking of buy
ing machine this advice is given: Be
fore you buy examine the various kinds
of machines thoroughly, and, above all,
make up your mind clearly as to what
you want. Just as horseman ought to
know something about the anatomy Of
his horse, SO the cycles ought to make
himself thoroughly acquainted with the
machine to which he intends to trust
himself during his rides.

praise for the Improvement, ARyhoW,
the introduction of the pedal gave a
great impulse to the practice Of cycling.
and this impulse has continued to grow
ever greater up to the present time.
The history Of cycling in France since

Measuring the Rainfall.

The quantity of rain falling ut any
place is estimated by means of Very
simple piece of apparatus known as a
ra1n-gauge. The most common form ut
rain-gauge consists Of a coppcr funn,l,
the area Of the mouth of which is acr1l-
rately known.
The rain collected in this funnel flows
into a graduated measure, which can
very easily be constructed by any one
out Of a small glass .tumblcr or, bcakc.
by pastlng on it's side. a narrow strap Of
paper, carefully marked mr into inches,
half-inches, quarters, eightl,s. and s;y
teenths, or into inches tenths and twen-
tieths.
Supposlng that the a,cH Of the mouth
of the receiving funnel is five times
that Of the graduated measure, then a
depth of one inch Oh an area equal to
that of the aperture OF the funnel.

Policemen and Pocket re1enhone..

Policemen and Pocket Telephones.
One Of the most useful additions that
have recently been made to the equip
ment of some Of the Newcastle police
men is the pocket telephone. 1t is han
dy and light, consisting of a combined
mouthpiece and earpiece, with about a
foot or more Of wire attached, an affix-
ing pin, and small key. This appar-
atus is to be used by the officers in con-
nection with the fire alarms placed at
various parts Of the city. Instead OF
breaking the pane Of glass in case Of a
fire occurring in the neighborhood las
an ordinary individual would have to
do-the policeman opens the door witt,
his key, places the afhxing key in SOCK
ct provided for it in the lamp, and is

SATURDAY EVENING.


The anniversary of the Church Ex-
tension Society was held on Saturday
evening. DR.. W. A. Spencer, secreta
ry, was present, as announced. He
began the service by singing beauti-
full song. He remarked that he left
Bishop Joyce, with whom he had at
tended thirty three conferences, two
weeks ago, and had travelled $500
miles in the last eight days, 1000 of
which he had covered in his attempt
to reach this place tonight. He was
pleased to be in Vermont. His father
and mother were born here. but
emigrated to Illinois. His ancestors
were buried near Lake Champlain.
Speaking of his work, he related his
experience with some of the Confer
ences held by Bishop Joyce and the
revivals that had resulted during
Conference sessions. He expected to
see a like work here. Let us wake

Who Is Responsible For The
Liquor Traffic?

The people of this country are
confronted by a fact and condi.
tion. The fact is that stupen-
Gus evil exists in our midst. The
condition is that the influence and
power of this evil largely domi-
mates in our government and
among our people. This evil is the
liquor traffic with its concomitants
OF drunkenness, crime, poverty,
debauchery and ruin. England's s
great statesman, Gladstone, has
declared that this evil has proved
a greater calamity to the race
than the three great historic
scourges of humanity-war, fa-
mine and pestilence. 1t has been
well said that this is the greatest
preventable evil of any time or
place. The magnitude of this evil
is beyond computation or mea-
surement. When we say this evil
costs this nation more than two
billions of dollars and more than
100000 lives annually, and that
three fourths of the pauperism
and four fifths of the crime
of the land flow from the
same source, we have mentioned !
only some of the computable fea-
lures of this gigantic curse, while
the great abyss of shame, anguish
and despair with its measureless
depths, lies before us. And in spite
of the magnitude of this scourge
it still sweeps on like desolating
tide, destroying manhood, cursing
and crushing child
hood, blasting every flower of
hope and joy from the pathway of
life of thousands and making life
. burden almost too intolerable TO

To Be Buried Alive.

A Hillsboro, ILL.,, special says:
The mind reader, A. j. Seymour,
is generally known in Illinois and
his proposed attempt to be buried
and remain in the ground while a
crop of barley is grown on his
grave creates great interest in this
state. DIR. E. c. Dunn, of Rock
ford, has been selected by Sey-
mour as manager of the funeral
ceremonies" and a son of Prof.
Seymour will assist. Both these
gentlemen express confidence in
Saymour's ability to suspend life
for six weeks buried in coffin six
feet under ground.
DIR. Dunn says:
"There is no question that this
feat can be performed. l have
seen it performed successfully
three times in India at Allahaban,
Delhi and Benares.
There will be considerable pre-
paration before the body will be
buried. For several days Sey-
mour will be fed upon a diet of
fat and heat-producing food to
provide an excess of caloric. He
will then throw himself into a
cataleptic state, controlling the ac-
ton of the lungs and the heart.
The lungs will then be filled with |
pure air to their fullest capacity, |

aperture of the lungs. The nose,

body to close the pores it will be
ready for burial.
The body will be put into an ex-
ira large casket. This will be
placed inside another, and both

SUPERSTITION,

1
; in its nature and exotic in its ina
gination; passionately fond of ex
citement, they become weary and
dull if confined to logic and rea.
son. We have listened to many
OF the sermons delivered from
their pulpits, and have found,
with scarcely an exception, that
the preacher who can the soonest
wake his congregation to religious
ecstacy, peculiar kind of mental
intoxication, is the most popular
with his people. No matter what
may be the text selected the sub
ject is the same; sinful mortality,
pleading Savior, and avenging
God. The sins of man are hur-
riedly gone over as subject un-
pleasant to speaker and hearers;
the pleadings and passion of
Christ, his saying, his sufferings,
his tears. his blood, that cruel
crown of thorns, the heavy cross,
the last stupendous moment on
Calvary, are gone over with rich
ness and originality of diction and
gesture which captivates the sem
ses and holds the audience breath
less. Here and there among the
throng one with more active i'm
agination, and generally it is
among the females, begins to sway
gradually backward and forward,
with dilated eye partly open lips,
grooming in musical monotone

words as he mounts on the wings
of fancy, then as the scene chan
ges, the voice of the preacher from
soft, as the love of the Master he
worships, becomes loud and meta
llic, the outraged Creator, the om-
nipotent Jehovah, "rides on the
whir)wind and commands the
Storm" the heavens roll up as a

yawning caverns of utter perdi-
Ion open eagerly for their prey;

LONDON, June LIN the house OF
commonsto-day MIR. Il, Labouchere,

ries OF questions to the government
with the view Of obtaining definite in
formation as to whether the foreign
office had authorized Sir Gerald Portal
to proclaim British protecIorate in

relary to the foreign Office, persisted in
reply to Mr.. Labouchere in referring
Mr.. Labouchere to tho published in.
structions given to Sir Gerald Portal

Sir Arnold Forsterm, Liberal Union
ist, NJ. P. for West Belfast, made mo-
tion to adjourn in order to obtain an
opportunity for debate on the growth
OF crime In the counties OF Kerry and

ure Of the Irish executive to check the
increase OF outlawry.
Mr.. Arnold Forster accused Chiet

wards the increase OF crime in Ireland,
and he pointed out that since Mr.. Nor
Icy had taken Office there had been sew.

New YoRK, June Princess Eulalie
went to the races to-day. She went as
one OF the "blood royal" should so and
was entertained in sumptuous style at
the famous Morris Park track, which
for view OF the course and luxurious
club house is not equalled in this coun-
try.
The day was delightful one and the
princess admired the ecenery through
which the party passed. II was S;2u
when the carriage entered the big iron
gates and drew up before the main en-
trance to the club house.
President Courtney Forbes, OF the
racing association, met the Princess at
the carriage, and giving her his arm.
led the way through the club
house to the grand stand:
Tho large space usually occupied
by reporters had b9en tranStormed into
a state box. Spanish and American
flags swung over head, and the ratings
we're hidden by masses Of llowers- The
sporting men deserted the betting ring
where they were placing money on the
third race, which was about TO be
called. and surging into the space IN
front Of the royal party stared at the
first live princess they had ever seen as
though she were q remarkable curiosity.
1t was the toboggan slide handicap
for all ages, and thirteen horses were In
the race, when Howard Carroll gave
her tip on 81. Florian, and, acting ON
her instructions placed $40 on the horse
at odds OF 10 l. There was long de-
lay before the horses got away.
The princess leaned forward and
watched the black specks kicking up
such dust in the distance. The prin-
cess at the finish asked where st. Flo
rian was. lie came in seventh me
princess and party were asked TO step
over to the club house, where an elab-
crate luncheon had been prepared Tor
them.
Another bet was placed for the
princess on the fifth raCe and when
Chorister came in good winner II was
announced that the princess had won
Sl0O and had presented it to tho Oath1
olic protectory orphan asylum.
After the fifth race the party entered
carriages for the drive back to the
Savoy.
Commander Davis wrote lengthy
letter TO Mrs. Potter Palmer in Chicago
to-day in which he gave implicit
instructions as to how the intanta
should bo received in the windy city.
Princess Eulalia and the prince and
suite dined with Whitelaw Reid this
evening at his handsome residence,
