A Queer Superstition.

A small group was gazing with sad
dened faces upon the eddying waters of
the swift current just below the old
bridge. Some of the women were weep
ing. The father of the drowned boy
looked helplessly at where his son had
disappeared, and where they had been
searching unsuccesslully for the body.
Ayoung woman came breatnlessly run
ming across the field. Her hair was fly
ing and her face was swollen and red
dened by weeping. She was the mother
of the boy. When she reached the group
she held out to her husband three pieces
of buttered bread which she had brought
from the house. Here, John,'' she
said, "they say that if you throw three
pieces of bread into the water, one Of
them will float over the body and whirl
round three times" There were even
faith and eagerness in her voice. The
man took the bread. He cast glance at
the two strangers as if to say that he had
no belief or hope, but was willing to try
anything. The bread foated steadily
down the river and the unhappy mother
gave herself up to dispair.
This all happened within few years
of the present time and few miles from
this city.

THE BICYCLES.
A Prospect of More Stringent Regula-
tions in Regard to Them.

The city ordinance regulating the
speed of bicycles within the city at six
miles an hour. is not likely to be the end
of the effort to regulate these vehicles.
Besides Deputy City Marshal Sterling,
several citizens have been more or less
injured by the swift but silent riders;
and there has been considerable demand
for further regulations. In some other
cities it is the rule that bicyclists shall
carry a bell by day and lamp by night;
and any rider disobeying this rule is liza
BILE to arrest and fine. 1t seems prob
able that this regulation will be pro-
posed to the city government. There is
also proposal that all bicycles shall be
numbered and registered with the city
marshal as hacks are. This number
would be placed oonspicuously on the
machine, SO that any offending rider
might be identified by his number.

Runaway Accident.

A runaway accident is reported from
Spurwink. Soule, the Green street liv-
cry stable keeper, rented double car
rage and a pair of buckskin horses to a
party from Scarboro, SO it was reported,
to drive to Spurwink. When descending
hill the horses got away from the driv.
or and ran. The team must have run in
to some other team or fence, for the car
riage was well broken up. One wheel
was gone and the carriage looked very
dilapitated as it was passing through the
streets. The people were thrown out.
How badly they were hurt we did not
learn. There was a report that the leg
of woman, one of the party, was brok-
en-. Mr.. Soule declared that the report
that the woman was injured was untre,
but was very reticent about the affair.

eyes of men who are familiarized with
the rigors of polar climate for half the
year in their own land, and then drank
success to the gallant Falcon in the tiny
little cabin.
Lieut.. Peary told them thathe expect

every deficiency and could not imagine
failure.

for the lieutenant and Mr.. Anstrup, and
