COST OF BICYCLES.
Not Such a Profit in Making Them
rs Some People Think.


Regarding the cost of manufacturing
q. first-class bicycle, a writer in the
Chicago Times-Herald has this to say:
To the doubling Thomases who are
ever asserting that the cost of a BIZ
cycle is inconsequential compared with
its selling price, the following brief
sketch of the material that enters into
the integral part of wheel are here
enumerated:
A machine was recently "dissected,"
and in the bearings alone $50 minia-
ture steel balls were found. The chain
possessed 1873 pieces. comprising links,
rivets, nuts and bolts. The two wheels
had sixty piano wire spokes, each of
which was fastened to the rim by
nipple and washer. The saddle con-
tanned eighteen parts, exclusive of the
rivets that help to faSten the leather
to the metal cantle. The valves in
the pneumatic tires contained four in
dividual mechanical contrivanceS.
Each pedal had ten separate parts,
and the brake and connections forty
component parts; add to those already
mentioned sprocket wheels, crank
shafts. chair adjustments, girds, ham
die bars, tires, rims, frame, forks,
hubs, axles, cones, washers, etc, a
grand total Of over 500 individual
parts is easily arrived at.
In a thoroughly high-grade bicycle,
each of the integral elements is made
by a costly piece of machinery, oper-
ated by skilled artisans, whose at
tention to detail and accuracy are as
sured facts. The machinery employed
in the majority of cycle factories to-
day, is of an automatic nature. and
the cost of some runs up into hundreds
Of thousands of dollars. Then take
into consideration the capital invested
In buildings and material in conjunc-
ton with the necessary expenditure
for the proper marketing and selling
of the product, such as advertising,
clerk and salesman hire, depreciation
of machinery and tools. and other in
Vulnerable facts. 1t will be readily
seen that a first-class machine costs
far more than the average buyer
tmagines.

WHAT THE BLIND MAN KNEW.
Told the Kind of Horse and Rider
That Went BY.


The blind man on the corner was
Slowly turning the handle of his
wheezy melodeon one morning. and.
says the Cincinnati Tribune, though
the sun beat holly on his head, he
did not seem to care. Now and then
he would turn his head around, up
and down the street, and as a man
rode by on horseback he seemed to
follow him with his eyes.
The sign on the blind mans breast
told his little story. He had been
carrying a lamp when a boy. and it
had exploded in his hands. Since
then he had sat here. year after year.
soliciting the charity of all.
\ man wearing a straw hat had
been watching him for some time,
trying to discover If he were really a
worthy creature, or If he only en-
ployed this manner to enlist the SYM
pathies of the public. He crossed the
street and said:
My friend, did you notice a man
pass here some time ago on a horse?''
WAS it a big horse, lame in its
right foot?" the blind man replied
The other had noticed a bandags on
the hOof mentioned, and gave an
affirmative reply.
and was the man a soldier and a
good rider?" was the blind mans
next question.
Yes was the reply, and the man
in the straw hat felt that his Sus-
picions were verified.
mo, sir" said the blind man, st
did not see him pass. Do you know
that 1 am totally blind, sir?"
But" gasped the astonished citi-
zen, pushing his straw hat on tha
back of his head, chow is it that you
can so accurately describe what you
have never seen?'
''Ah, sir, it was by my ears I knew
what I have told you. You see, sir, I
knew that the horse was a big one
by the heavy sounds his hoOfs made.
All horses have a, regular way of
placing their feet in their several
PAGES, and so 1 knew as one hOOf
came to the ground more family than
the others the one was lame, and by
the click on the cobbIestones which
foot it was. Then, as to the rider, he
must have been a good one, or he
would not have dared to gallop as he
did through the streets of the city.

his sword janglfng."

hat, (which is worse, to have ears
and hear not, or to have eyes and
see not?"
But the blind man was again turn

OF course, prevented the amateur
from seeing them at that time. but
tonight they are not far apart, and
merit notice from all.
Venus may be recognized as the
brighter of the two. Indeed, there is
no other object in the whole sky, the
sun and moon alone excepted, so
bright as the queenly planet. She
shines with such regal splendor these
May evenings that one New Yorker,

Venus is about 104. 100000 miles from

Venus is over 550.000,000 miles away.
Then, when one remembers that it

the smaller body appear the brighter.

There are a few bright stars to
share the western sky with Venus
and Jupiter now. That brilliant one
off in the northwest is Capella, which
shone directly overhead during the
winter evenings. Higher up than the
planets are Castor and POlux, while
low down in the southwest is Porcyon.

SaHnger have also much better parts
than has yet been accorded them.
Following is some slight idea of the
story of the opera:
The scene opens on the coast of
Tartary. Mckay the Sultan, having
become tired of a life made unbear-
able by conspirators, decides to end
his existence by casting himself into
the sea.
He is prevailed upon by Kartoon,
his prime minister, to give up his idea
Of suicide, but to leave the country,
leaving behind his coat, in the pocket
of which is a will, in which he de-
crees that the first ship wrecked
sailor cast on the shores of his king
dom shall succeed to his throne. After
his departure Cardamon, an Arab
chief, and nephew of the sultan ar
rives on the scene; disappointed at
not meeting the sultan, he threatens
all kinds of vengeance and goes hunt
ing for someone on whom he can vent
his wrath. At this moment the ma
tiveS are hailed by a ship-wrecked
tar, whom they at once proclaim as
their new sultan. AT Cardamon's re-
turn, Muley and Cardamon agree to
reign each succeeding hour. And thus
we leave them on their way to the
palace.

role of Sultan. In this act he discov-
ers his former wife, Alpaca in the
role of Queen of the Harem. Upon
discovering who Muley is. she begins
to make things warm for him. Thus
between Cardamon and Alpaca, poor
Muley is kept in hot water, until at
the last moment Muley is proclaimed
sultan in spite of the efforts of all his
enemies.
The third act shows the moving of
the royal troops; awakening of Muley

years.

A Kentucky Incident in Which Il
Small Boy Got n Red APPLE For Il
Unique Reason.

A Kentucky school committee,
whose members had invitations to a
hanging at the county Jail. Struck
town just before the district school
was dismissed for the day. With a
view of combining business with their
pleasure trip, the committee dropped
IN on the schoolma' am and put a few
questions to the scholars. The an
swers were so brilliantly incorrect,
that the teacher was prompted by
her pupils apparent ignorance, to tell
the committee that all the little ones
were worked up over the coming
event at the Jail Then she dismissed
the scholars.
But the scholars, instead of trooping
off as usual, hung about the yard,
watching with jealous eyes the proud
and arrogant bearing of a small boy,
who strutted among them like a king
in the midst CT his courtiers. His
every action was observed, and it was
apparent that the greater part of the
girls hung upon his words and glances.
Eventually one of them offered a ripe
red apple to the boy, who took it
without thanks, and with cool superb
GRITTY. His action and the queer be-
havior of the other children aroused
the curiosity of one of the visitors, and
he turned to the schoolma'a am, say

"Who is that arrogant small boy?"
The teacher looked, and then with a
little air of wonder answered.
"Why, don't you know him? That's
