Higgins on TWO Glasses Of Egotists
There are two classes of cyclists.
One is an aggressive, public spirit.
ed, open hearted, open handed,
ubiquitous and loquacious, usually
wholesouled, whose egotism seems
to be manifest on all occasions, is
apparent everywhere. You seem to
see the egotism and feel 1t. Not
withstanding all this you are con-
demning that fellow, man or woman.
But the most despciable, contempt
ible, obnoxious, mean and low.
down egotist is that quiet ego
fist who tells you that he
never does anything wrong, and
claims he is never seen standing on
the streets talking with another
man. Goes straight from his office
to the court house, or from his Of
fee to his home. If he Is elected to
do any particular work, always says,
81 will accept the position if every
body wants me-" when deep down
in his cart he knows that he is
lying, and that he would
accept the appointment if ne knew
every body did not want him. lie
is usually bull-headed, narrow
minded, stubborn and full OF prtJu'
dice, and if he would be lawyer,
or preacher, or doctor, unpop,,
ular with his profession; drunkard
who keeps his jag at home or IN the
cellar and drinks gallon on sun
day. The meanest drunkald IN the
world is this silent egotist. Of all
cyclists in the world, deliver me
from this sort. He believes that ne
can do every thing better than any
other man living. Does not talk
except you talk v, with him. hIn,
If the newspaper calls on him
for anything, while he is nearly
dead to get into the newspaper ne

Ey Balloon.

Perhaps the north pole may be reach
ed in balloon. The question has been
mOoted and may be carried out i'm the
near future. A balloon with a cubic
contents Of 10000 feet and capable Of
lifting twenty tons, furnished with Il
number of smaller balloons containing
reserve supply of hydrogen, would
certainly seem to give every promise
of success. The balloon would carry
five men, with baggage, a number of
Esquimau dogs, several boats and a
large sledge. 1t is calculated that from
Spitzbergen, where the trip will begin.
the air currents which blow steadily
from the south will carry them across
the Arctic circle and directly over the
north pole in a flight of about four
days duration. Thus. instead of assist
ing to destroy human life, the military
balloon may be the means of the discov-
cry of new continent, proving once
more that ''the glory of a scientific in
vention is its utility to mankind. "-Bo--
ton Herald.

Gen. Booths experience, like that Of
DR.. Parkhurst in New York City.
demonstrates anew that in practical
life reforms are seldom worked out
along the lines of commonly approved
methods. When DIR. Parkhurst re-
solved that vice and corruption must
be exposed and put down he was open
ly abused before the public, and had to
proceed in the face of disapproval OF
close friends, who granted that the OBJ
Ject aimed at was praiseworthy. but
who insisted that the methods of ths
vigorous preacher could not be sane
toned. DR.. ParkhurSt has come out of
the conflict one of the most respected
men in the nation. One of his hap
pieSt moments was when President
Seth Low of Columbia College. whose
disapprOval in the earlier part of the
crusade had panied him exceedingly.
declared few days ago that DR.. Park
hurst had been right throughout the
struggle. The results have justified
Or. Parkhurst. 1t has taken lifetime
with Gen. Booth TO complete the cycle
from contempt and ridicule to recogni-
ton, and to demonstrate that the work
his organization has accomplished was
rot to be done by conventional methods.
Gen Booth saw the way to reach the
submerged tenth. Perceiving the
value of the military form of organiza-
ton, the shout and the tambourine i'm
securing influence with this class no
freely made use of them The gro
teSqueness of certain features of the
salvation Army yet remains to appeal
to the Indifferent by their very oddity:
but the days of persistent persecution
are over Gen. Booth like Dr. Park
hurst stands out as man to whom
honor is due for accomplishing what he
attempted, despite all discouraging Old.

Twin Il IDS.

Twin beds" are a new fad intro
duced from Germany. intended To do
away with the unhealthfulness of two
persons sleeping in too close proximity
and ut the same time avoid entire sepa-
ration. The bedstcads are made OF
brass and the headboard is all i'm one
piece, either straight bars or some
gracefully wrought design. But there
is about two feet of space between the
two narrow beds, and at the foot they
are connected 10y brass archway OF
equal width as the space and high
enough for a person To pass through
without STOPPING. The effect is unique
and rather pleasing.
