The fakir had opened up business on the
public square of a southern town and was
going on to tell how his red salve" would
cure toothache, neuralgia, baokache rheu-
matism, sprains and most everything else
under the sun, when a big and ugly look
ing colored man pressed his way into the
crowd and said:
II dun bought box of dat stuff of yo'
ober to Augusta, an it hain't wuth shucks.'
What! What's that you're saying?"
demanded the fakir as he stopped short in
his appeal to suffering public.

Where was that pain?'
Down betwixt my shoulders.
"And you used the salve according to

''Yes, sah.''
"And you've used it all up, and the pain
is still there?''
''De pain am still wuss, reckon"
''Then my red salve has skipped cog,
and l must refund your money. First,
however let me make an examination.
Come up here till l run my hand down be-
hind your collar and see where the pain
is"
The colOred man had on wooden shirt,
which was open at the throat, and he bent
his head and let the fakir slide his hand
down. The latter felt around for min
ute and then withdrew his hand and held
bent and rusty tenpenny nail up to view
and said:
Ladies' and gentlemen, is it any wonder
my celebrated red salve cOuldn't take away
the pain with this nail sticking into his
back? One box of it pulled the nail over
half way out and yet he declares that I'm
liar and robber! I think felt at least
three other nails, besides pipe stem, a
hairpin, a wishbone and gimlet, and yet
he has the face to come here and demand

BICYCLE VERSUS THOROUGHBRED.

The thoroughbred race-horsc is believed
when the king of racers, Salvador, cover
ed mile on strait track at Monmouth
Park on August %, 1890, in one minute
thirty-tive and one-half seconds-which is
still the record-he probably went the dis
tance in less time than it was ever trayers-
ed before or since by living creature of
any kind moving unaided over the surface
of the earth. Had any one at that time
bicycle would propel himself over the
same distance on a similar or any other
track in faster time than that of the
thoroughbred, he would have been consid-
cred something more than merely vision
arv. At that time the bicyclist was com
peting with the trotting- horse, but that he
would ever equal the runner was not dream
ed of bv ultra -enthusiasticS.
And vet this undreamedof feat has now
been accomplished. Since the advent of
the pneumatic tired wheel with ball bear
ings, records have been falling before the
bicycle more rapidly than before the trot-
notwithstanding the phenomnal ad-
vances of the latter-until of late several
wheelman have been going miles below
two minutes, leaving the trotter quite out
of the race. But no bicyclist had come
within striking distance of the speed of
even an ordinary thoroughbred, until of a
sudden professional racing cyclist, John
S. Johnson. the "Western wonder,' took
fourteen seconds off the bicycle record at
single clip, and cclipsed not only some
but all thoroughbreds by riding mile in
one minute thirty-tive and two-tifth sec
onds The feat was accomplished over Il
strai ght track at Buffalo, New York. on
October 24th. The pace makers were four
men mounted on a quadruplet machine.
Thus for the first time in the world ;
history man has propelled himself a mile
purely by muscular eXertion faster than
the muscles of any other living creature
ever carried 1t over the earth'S surface.
As triumph of human development, aid
ed by the inventions Of human ingenuity,
over mere animal development this achieve
ment is therefore unique, and worthy of
record quite apart from its interest to the
sportsman.

CHINESE POLifENES.S

Whether or not the Chinese put Il term
insulting to Japan in their declaration of
war against that country, they seem to be
under ordinary circumstances the poiit-

who has Just returned from China, and
who has been publishing his impression
of the Chinese people, declares that in
writing letter to a perfect stranger Il
Chinaman calls his correspondent my

CATERING TO WOMAN'S VANITY.

\ tlourishing establishment in New
York derives most Of its income from
renting jewelry, instead of selling it out
right, to women who cannot afford to buy.
| The business is a perfectly legitimate one.
Only fair amount of interest is charged
for the use of the goods and nothing is
ever attempted in the way of deceiving g
customers as to the actual value of the
iewelry they hire. You can go to this
store ana get watch set with turquoise,
to wear on the lapel of your new electric
blue gown, and you can keep the watch
as long as you please by paying the rate
of interest agreed upon when you take
possession of 1T. OF course you must pay
deposit amounting to the full value of
the turquoise bauble before you take it
out of the shop, but when you go back
with it all the money will be refunded eX-
cept the small sum charged for its use. 1t
is so with diamonds, and rings. Indeed.
the whole list and catagory of jewelry
might be included. On the night of a
large ball the shop will be nearly cleared
of its rcntabc stock. By the next day
noon everything is returned, and the jew
clry, newly polished and glittering rs ever,
are back in their cases waiting for the
next hirin" out.

MANY HISTORIC TREES.

Among the $1,000 trees with which the
capital city of the nation is so proud of
and which 90 50 far toward making it the
beautiful place it is, are Il number of his
| toric trees planted either by famous per-
! SOnageS or to commemorate special
events. The oldest and the one which
always attracts the attention of those
! fl ourists who chance to know about it is
the magnificent elm in the Capitol park,
opposite the Senate entrance. 1t is about
! 100 feet high and covered with a fine
growth of ivy This tree and another of
the same variety, but now dead, were
| planted century ago by the first Presi-
| dent, and the one now standing is called
the Washington Elm" Occupying rel
ativcly the same position in the park, but
facing the House entrance, is the Cam
eron Elm, not because the distinguished
| Pennsylvania planted it, but because he
threatened. In the spring of 1892 Presi-
dent Harrison set out two fig trees in the
ground south of the executive mansion,
and both are doing well, though one has
outstripped the other by two feet. A fine
sycamore or plane tree, which stands not
far from the Lincoln monument in the
park of the same name on Capitol Hill, is
know as the ''Thaddeus Stevens Tree"
The great Pennsylvania planted it in the
stormy days of '62 in the Botanical Gar
dens, but so often were the grounds over
flowed by quiet appearing little stream
rejoicing in the classic name of Tiber that
the tree did not flourish and in 1870 it was
removed to its present position, where it
has reached an altitude of nearly 100 feet.
The largest and most famous collection of
trees, and not behind any in beauty, is the
historic grove in the Botanical Gardens

delphia is represented by two splendid
expresses, brought over from the Quaker
City by Edwin Forrest, the great TRACE
dian, and John W. Forney, the journal

Pike Tree, a cassia, planted by Gen. Pike
when occupying the highest position in
the Masonic order A great oak, set out
in 1862 by John G. Crittenden, of Ken

of trees to which it belongs. There are

by the Senators from Maine and Vermont,
the .'Hoar and Vance Trees the Holman
Tree set out by the Indiana member

'Bayard Tree" an oak planted by Mr..
Bayard when secretary of state; and most

from which it came was picked up on the
