Complaint is made by bicyclers that
drivers Of vehicles do not pay proper
respect to their rights in the highway,
and are as apt as otherwise to run
into them. The chief offenders in
this regard are women drivers, and
they crowd against bicyclers even
women riders-so closely as to compel
them to flight to prevent being run
down. Trouble will arise from this if
persisted in, for bicycles have the
same rights on the highway as other
vehicles, and have full right to a
proper share of the road. Whoever
therefore, fails to accord it the court
esy due to other travellers will be re-
sponsible for any damage that may
ensue. This is liable to be consider
able, for a wheel is pretty sure to be
broken in case of collision, and a good
wheel is worth more than the average
buggy. Exchange.

The Gentlewomen gives currency

The Gentlewomen gives currency
to this remarkable story:
"Here is a story of an extraordinary
kind, which shows that truth is
stranger than fiction. Some sixty
years ago the cashier of a Liverpool
merchant had received a Bank of
England note, which he held up to
the light to make sure it was genuine.
He then saw some very indistinct red
marks of words traced on the front
of the note and on the margin, and he,
from curiosity, tried to decipher them.
At length he made out the following
sentence, eff this note should fall in
to the hands of John Dean, of Long
hill, near Carlisle, he will learn there
by that his brother is languishing
prisoner in Algiers." Mr.. Dean, on
being shown the note, lost no time in
asking the Government of the day for
assistance, and accomplished the
freedom of his brother on paying of a
ransom to the Bey. The unfortunate
prisoner had been slave for eleven
years, and had traced, with a piece Of
wood for pen, and his own blood for
ink, the message on the bank note, in
the faint hope of it's being seen sooner
or later.

There are some men in the world
who can answer any question that is
put to them, and sometimes when
they do not really know what they
are talking about, they will give ans
Wers that are not at all bad. One of
these persons was once keeper Of the
London Zoo. He was pestered to
death by questions which people ask
ed, but he always gave an answer. On
a recent occasion countryman stroll
ed in, and after looking curiously at
the camel for few moments, he turn
ed to the keeper and said:
I say, mister, what's he have a
hump for?
What does he have hump for? re-
peated the keeper.
Yes. What's the good of it? asked
the visitor.
Why-er it makes a camel of him,
of course, replied the keeper, after
some hesitation. People wouldn't
travel miles to see him if he didn't
have that hump. Fact is, without it
he might as we'll be COW.
The stranger departed very we'll

It has long been dream of the ev
Olutionist that the vegetable kingdom
has evolved from the mineral, as he
believes that the animal has evolved
from the vegetable, and it may be
that in the fairy figures on our win
dow panes we are witnessing, as it
were, the efforts of nature to effect
this transformation. We are taught
that the earth was once too hot to
support the life of plants, but that af-
ter the surface had cooled, trees,
shrubs and MOSES sprang up. Whence
did they come?
A frosted window pane shows us the
strange phenomenon Of inorganic
matter assuming the shapes of ferns
and leaves and fronds, and may per-
haps represent to our eyes in minia-
ture a process which went on on a
large scale during the prevegetable
era Of our earth history. This idea is
as old as the Jewish Cabala, where we
read, 'The breath became stone, the
stone a plant, the plant an animal,
the animal man, the man a spirit the
spirit a god.''

this formula to get rid of an intrusive
visitor who had worn out his welcome.

was not bad, except in comparison
with the superb stratagem ascribed to

Thomas we're warm and intimate

they were to each other usually "Bill"
and ''Tom," after the free and easy
fashion of school-boys rather than
like dignified and austere warriors.
Near Reseca, Ca, during sharp
action, Gen. Sherman went upon a
rail way embankment directly in the
line of fire, and stood carelessly amid
the flying bullets, making his observa-
lions and giving his orders.
Turning, he saw the head and the
shoulders of the portly and magnifi-
Gently proportional Thomas appear
ing above the protection of the rail

careful for his friends rather than for
himself, called OUT
''Pretty hot up here, Tom,-better

self, them" answered Thomas.

TWO MISSING GIRLS.

Thor Disappearance.

a Priest Charged with Responsibility for
Thor Disappearance.
ST. JOSEPH, NO., Sept. 2S.-All st. Jo-
seph Is mystified by the sudden disappear
ance of two young girls, without a shadow
OF reason that can be found unless they
have been abducted, and that this Ia the
general theory. The latest disappearance
OF which the police have learned Is that Of
Dora Kennedy, IA years old, daughter of a
workman In the railroad shops. She has
been absent from home since Wednesday
morning, but the authorities were not in
formed until yesterday. As in the case of
Maude Steidel, who disappeared last Sun
day, the missing girl has dropped out of
sight as mysteriously as II swallowed by
the earth.
The friends of the family of the girls and
their nearer relatives hold that only mad
infatuation for the priest now charged
with having induced Maud Steldel to leave
her homo could have been the cause of her
disappearance and that either a similar
feeling, or resort to some deception or
force could have been responsible for tho
going of Dora Kenn>Sy.
The public is a white heat with infiIg-
nation. Dominick Wagner, the priest ac
cused of abducting the girl has asked the
police to protect him from the mob that
has threatened to lynch him. He still
maintains that he knows nothing of the
girls whereabouts.

medical colleges Thesnperlntendent of the
