The Bicycle Has Come to stay.

The bicycles advance has been so grad
ual, so noiseless, and SO easy, that 1t Is
doubtful if American society appreciates
what it is about or what are its POSSIBLE
ties.
Starting as toy and continuing on a
democratic basis as means of transporta-
ton for the comparatively poor, 1t has
worked its way steadily on and up
Sportsmen have scoffed at it; horsemen
have tiouted it; high dignitaries OF the
church have denounced it TO their women
adherents; solid citizens have held it to
be a nuisance on the highway; timid
people have deprecated its presence ON
the sidewalk, but it has rolled along,
practically unhindered, increasing i'll
numbers, growing in popularity, until
now ii threatens TO dispute with he horse
for the patronage of fashion.
1t Is time to take the bicycle seriously,
as thing like the cotton gin, the steam
engine, the telegraph, and the sewing
machine-that is to have an effect upon
society ScribRer's Magazine.

The Hindu Wife.

An impression seems to prevail IN
" eatern countries that there is no love
between the Hindu wife and husband.
The truth is, the Hindu families are the
happie.t in the world. The Hindu
woman, having been tied TO he lot of the
man early, thinks only OF him. His
happiness i her happiness. She loves
her nus band devotedly. In the Western
nations | observe that the man works
from morning to late in he night 10 earn
money. He has 10 re-'. " no enjoys the
benefits of his money? His wife. While
he is struggling 10 get the almighty

and the leisure it buys. If she cannot get
the newest fashion of ornaments or cloth
ing, she is often unhappy, and conse-
duently, II he husband cannot buy them,
he, too, l., made unhappy.
Moreover, the women in America seem
to have greater liberty than the men.
The young girl Is brought up by her
mot her to think that she is equal to man
and in some respects superior to him.
She reads love novels, spends much time
ut her toilet; She wears in her bonnet
flowers, feathers, dead birds, seaWeeds,
moss, horns, thorns, big needles, and in
her dress, pins, hooks, ties, iron and brass
bars, clips, stitches, and what not; ana
on her bosom | have seen her wear a
living lizard fastened with a thin chain.
Her waist is laced tight by a corset, which
makes her pant for breath
Thus equipped, she sallies forth to make

Exciting Experience OF a Chapman
school Girl.

Exciting Experience Of Chapman
school Girl.
Miss TT hel Tweedy, of Chapman Planta-
ton, a girl fifteen years old, had thrill
ing experience one day recently, reports
the Bangor Wing. She attends school at
a place two miles distant from her home,
and the road nearly all the way Is through
the woods.
On the day in question she left the
school house about three O'Clock in the
afternoon and started for home After
she had gone about mile, she suddenly
came upon an enormous bull moose and
a COW moose in the road. The bull at
once started for her with blood in his eye,
and Miss Tweedy ran for small fir tree
hes de he road. She went up / he tree like
a squirrel, but none too soon, for before
she could get entirely out of reach the
Infatuated bull caught her dress on his
horns and nearly ripped il off her. The
animal made desperate efforts to reach
her, but she was up just tribe too high
for him to hit her with his sharp hoofs.
For nearly three hours she was kept in
the tree by the brute, when he finally de-
parted. After sat flying herself that he
bull had really gone, Mss Tweedy came
down and started for home on Il run.
She describes the animal ~ being larger
than her fathers biggest horse.
The animal has been sera once or tW lee
since. and from ali accounts he must
weigh nearly or quite 1000 pounds. And
all this happened within eight miles of
PrtsQue Isle village.

MOOSE ARE PLENTY.
Haven't Been SO Numerous In Maine
Woods for Forty Years.

The State fish and game commissioners
are now active in watching for violations
of the game laws in the Maine forests.
Commissioner Wentworth said recently
that not for forty years had moose and
deer been plenty as they are this fall.
He ascribe5 the great increase in the
number of moose to the strict watch that
has been made of the northwestern Dor
der of the State. In years past he Cana
dian French came into Maine in that
region and slaughtered the big game for
their hides. The wardens that have been
patroling here the past year have kept
them away.
Two of the worst poacherS in that sec
ton We're Joe Gilbert and man named
Fountain. whose reputation was not of
the best. They had upwards of ten camps
about he head waters of the ST. John,
and killed moose on a wholesale plan.
Gilbert when he found the WardcnS We're
determined to capture him, decided to
quit the business and made a covenant
to hat effect. Fountain has been pur-
sued until he thinks the country is too
hot for him and is planning to move to
Labrador. These are only two Instances
of he good work hat has been done in
Northwestern Maine.
Regarding cartridges, M. Wentworth
says he only way the number can be in
creased is by having he close time run
up to the first of October instead of sep
TENDER. In the latter month, While they

Going to Find Mama.
BY HrGu VLADIMIR.

Twas a bitter night IN mjdwintcr
when. wrapped in faded old shawl,
\ poor little child entered Il train
Fast clazping battered face doll,
And She seemed to lac all alone,
And her little wnebcgone face
\pitiful talc OF sorrow told,
And Of recent tears a trace.
And not one of the many saw her
As she crouchcd in corner seat
IIuddIiug her don to her little breast
A picture 20 touchingly sweet
As sadly she gazcd around the car
As if seeking some loving face;
Rut none minded her questioning looks
Nor Needed her childish grace.
The conductor In collecting fares
Caught sight of the poor little child
And he thought of the wee ones at home,
And hi- voice was gentle and mild
As he said to her, Dear little one
How came YOU alone in the car
And hugging her doll she -weetly said
Pm going to find my mama."
Going to find your mama. my CHILD
Do YOU know where she is:" he said
And with trembling lips she murmured low
And dolly and me are all alone
And is heaven very far
That we can't go there tonight, sir:
For do want to see mama
And the tears rolled DOWN her tiny checks
And fell on the face OF her doll
Like little angel strayed to earth
She looked In her faded old shawl,
And with one accord they all arose
And crowded around her seat.
Eager to do what they could for her,
The poor little wait of the street.
And many a face hardened and rough,
Felt moisture upon Its cheek,
Rough voices grew tender and sweet
As they tried to her gently speak,
For ii. true tina, IN each human heart,
No matter how low and vile,
fingers a trace OF a love divine,
Unmarried. un-ullcd hy guile
Aud they gayc food to the Iittle one,
Vino awtarird. soon with her doll
Closely sped Ia her ar'n-, fell asleep
Wrapped ap in her faded orl shawl,
While the train dashed On In the darkness
Like Il fena tire valley and plain.
Then crash. -hiiek, all was over,
And lerallcd was the midnight train.
Kind hands and brave heart- soon were earint
For the bruised, thu maincti and the lead,
Among whom, her doll closely husging,
Was child, tn" papers read.
Her journey aud life had both ended,
And her soul from the ruined car
Fled upward 10 find in ,;od'- Kingdom,
Awaiting her child, her mama.
