THE COST OF CYCLING.

PrrssIc Acid and Peach stones,.

The statement was made recently
chat prnsSic acid was made from pc;.cif
stones, says the st. Louis Globc-Dcrno-
crat. This Is altogether n mistake, for,
although undcr ccrtain conditions q
trace of the main principle of the deadly
poison can be found in peach stones,
thcEo is not sufficient TO produce the
acid without other essential ingredients.
Indeed, without the process OF for
montation, there is no evidence at all
Of prussic acid in the stones. Prussic
acid is composed of such things as ami
nal refuse and blood solids, with largo
quantities of oil OF vitriol. Even tho

throat and in the region Of the heart,
and there are few poisons for which
there is such little opportunity Cor IN

A HOPELESS CASE.

The sunshine was dazzling that after

sweeping down between the rows OF tall
hous es on either hand you tasted at it's
best that keenest Of stimulents-iced

put new life into the most despairing

even such stolid things as the chairs,
the rugs and the bookcases reflected

said once that Miss Winchester united

and TO his apprehension the same piq

surroundings.
There had been other days, plenty OF

Anthony Amory; he had, indeed, sup

The present visit, although il was the

Winchester since her return to town
the week before, was evidently not of
the nature of an ordinary call, and after
the first interchange of greetings neither
OF them pretended 10 treat 1t as such.
She was sitting near the window in an
immensely puffy and comfortable chair,
and when he had taken his seat opposite
her, where he had the best light on her
face, they surveyed each other in ex-
pectant silence for a minute; then Mr..

When the mellow days OF autumn wrap the

And the cheeks are like the roses that our

Not the pampered pinky blossoms that the
hot-house man deals out
AT four dollars for a dozen and with paste
beard wrapped about
But the dear old damask roses that would
hold their tints TIL Yule-
Just the sort used to gather for the girl 1
loved at school.
And the lips-no, no. not ruby! for the cold

Chills the Jewels FURNISHED surface though

In the glaring of the gasgbti filter far do

With the warm glow in yon chsliee; the

And the form ii grows distincter as the misty

And the silver belt that linked her, Ike the

All that earth retained Of heaven, Kisses out

For I parted in my anger from the girl

That Man, Your Husband.

Every bride knows her power; every
wife comes 10 know her weakness.
good proportion Of the heartbreak OF early
married life is due TO the ferment or ms
knowledge. The poor child whose lover
gave up his cigars and his club with such
angelic meekness, finds that her husband
can smoke like a chimney. and leaves her
alone nights In order TO spend the evening
with his men friends. She imagines that
he cares less for her than he did, which
is a mistake, IN most cases; seven out OF
ten men love their wives better than their
sweethearts. II is simply that her pre-
sence is not the absorbing excitement
that 1t was when love was new. The
chances are that the wife is become a
dozen times more necessary TO the man
than ever the sweetheart could have been.
He would feel her death far more keenly
but he does not need to adjure his heart
to git still' whenever his fancy sum
mons her image. In short. she is become
the bread OF existence in place OF the
elixir. Now, most of us who have sense
would prefer 10 be bread rather than
elixir: but there Is no question that more
fuss is made over the elixir.
The heart Of woman turns with a home
sick yearning TO the delicate courtesy, the
tenderness, the thousand endearments of
that enchanted time when her husband
There Is only one halfway house where
love, on his swift progress from intoxi-
cation to indifference, may be arrested
and so happily entertained that he will

What has happened? Is II new
attachment that begins when an old one

TO own that the sentiments OF man are
subjected to the effects OF a hidden pro-
cess; the fever OF time that creates iassi-
tude. also dissipates illusion, undermines
our passions, withsrs our love, and
changes our hearts even as it changes our
locks and our years. There Is but one
exception to this infirmity. Sometimes
In a strong soul there occurs love firm

Rnskin,s Plea to Women.

Outside of your own rose-covered wall
there are flowers neglected and dying,
flowers that could bless you for having
blessed them, and will love you for hav-
ing loved them. flowers that have eyes
like yours and thoughts like yours. and
lives like yours, which once saved you
save forever. Far among the moorlands
and the rocks, far In the darkness OF the
terrible streets, these feeble fiowerets are
lying, with all their fresh leaves torn
and their stems broken. VIII you never
go down to them and set them in order
in their little fragrant beds, nor fence
them In their shuddering from the fierce
wind?
Shall morning follow morning. for you,
but not for them; all the dawn rise, but
no dawn rise to breathe upon these living
banks OF wild violet and woodbine and
rose; nor call you through their case
ment as they did Dante's great Matilda,
who stood wreathing flowers and flowers,
and. as the English poet pictures the
scene saying:
Come into the garden, Maud.
For the black bat, night, has flown.
And the woodbine spices are waited
abroad.
And the musk Of the roses has blown.
VIII you not go down among them?
among those sweet living things? ard
whose purity, washed from the dust, is
opening, bud by bud. into the flower OF
promise; and still they turn TO you, and
for you the 'larkspur whispers-I hear,
l hear! and the lily whispers-I wait"
Did you notice that l missed two lines
when / read you that first stanza, and
think that / had forgotten them? Hear
them now:
Come into the garden. Maud.
For the black bat night. has flown,
Come into the garden. Maud.
| am here at the gate alone.
Who Is It, think you now, who stands
at the gate OF this sweeter garden, alone,
waiting for you?
Did you hear, not OF Maud. but a Made
line. who went down TO her garden in the
dawn and found one waiting at the gate
whom she supposed TO be the gardener?
Have you not sought him often-sought
him in vain at the gate of that old gar
den where the fiery sword is set? He Is
never there, but at the gate OF this gar
den he is waiting always-waiting to
take your hand-ready to go down and
to see the fruits of the valley, to see
whether the vine had fourished and the
pomegranate budded.
There you shall see with him the little
tendrils of the vines that his hand is
guiding; there you shall see the pome-
granate springing where his hand cast
the sanguine seed. You shall see the
troops OF the angel keepers that with
their wings wave away the hungry birds
from the pathsldes where he has sown
and call to each other between the vine
ward rows: Take us the foxes, the little
foxes. that spoil the vines. for our vines
have tender grapes" Oh! you queens!
YOU queens! Among the hills and green
wood of this land Of yours shall the
foxes have holes and the birds OF the
air have nests? And in your cities shall
the stones cry out against you that they
are the only pillows where the Son or
Man can Law his head?
