Seated all day on my cycle,
I'm weary and ill at ease;
For pains that are sharp and shooting
Have seized my shoulders End knees.

I'm truly a physical wreck;
And yet if l only keep scorching,
I'll win in the race by a neck.
I've worked with a will that is wondrous
I've strained every muscle for days;
I've taken off pounds with a sweater,
Till I'm almost daZed with the craze.

And all this hard battling is simply
To break just one record at least

STEEL SAILING VESSELS ON LAKES

built on the great lakes was launched
some weeks ago at the yards of the
Chicago Shipbuilding company, on
the Calumet river, at Chicago The
new beat is owned by the Minnesota
Steamship company, and is name,
Malta The Malta is 302 feet keel, $40
feet over all, 20 feet baam, and a feet
deep. On the draught of 14H feet it
will carry 1900 tons AMI when The
twenty foot channel is completed its
car. yihg capacity will exceed 1000
tons. The new boat has three masts
and sails, but will be used as a tjw
barge behind the dozen big steel
steamers of the company. 1t will be
pulled, however, by a steel tow line
drawn over patent steam drumhead,
which acts automatically in giving out
more line under great strain, and then
in taking in the slack. This is the
first time the new invention has been
placed on lake boat. The cost of the
Malta is 500, 000.-Hardware.

THE TIMID YOUNG LADY.

1t is one of the unfortunate features of
our social life that young persons are
not allowed to act in a simple and
natural manner. The young woman is
expected to be very reserved, and to dis

to be trying to attract attention. In all
cases it is much the better way to be

Irvine's Love of Shakespeare.
The great actor is thoroughly in ac-
cord with the art spirit, thoughts and
customs of this end-of+the-century
time, but he is above and beyond all,
an actor and an artist. His great
house, Grafton-st; in the West End OF
London, shows plainly that his art is
the same to him in the quiet of his
home as behind the footlights Every
where are souvenirs and mementoes of
the great lights of the English drama.
In a bookcase in the beautifully-fur-
nished drawing-room there are thirty
or more different editions of Shakes
peare. Some are editions de luxe, some
remarkably early ones. One bound IN
red leather would be a great bargain
at $500; while another was the third
edition of the great playwright's, and
was once owned by the Duke of Bed

souvenirs of great actors have nearly
all double value from the famous
donors of the much-prized gifts. There
is a little green silk purse which was
found empty in Edmund Kean's pocket
after he died, and given by Robert
Browning to Irving. A ring was pre-
scented by the Baroness Burdett-Coutts
which David Garrick used to wear;
then there are two watches, one of
which used to belong to Kemble and
the other, of solid silver whose hands
stand at twenty-five minutes of 6, the

of Kean are the russell leather boots he
wore in Richard III and the broad,
