Indeed, the writer IN the Critic declares
that 1t is the commonest thing to see men

Bicycle Manufacture.


1t is estimated that last year Qs9D over
100000 wheels were manufactured by the
different companies engaged in their pro-
duction. This year. with greatly increased
facilities and improved machinery, together
with large increase in the number of pro-
ducers the product will reach in the neigh
borhood of 100000 wheels.
What it will be next year can only be
guessed at, as this years business has been
dwarfed and held in check by a positive
inability to supply the unparalleled demand
for wheels of every description.
New factories contemplate entering this
seductive business; additions are being
built to old factories, almost equal 20 the
original plant stocked with the most futri-
cate and "up-to-date' machinery, which
before March, 1896. will begin to make an
impression on the trade, that will carry the
production to a possible 100000. This, with
every foreign country with an intelligent
population already knocking at our doors

The Parrot Punched His Check.

From the Philadelphia Record.
At light lunch cafe, near 9th and
Market streets. each waiter Is supplied
with a package of printed tickets. upon
which he cuts out with punch the figures
representing the amount Of the patrons

day last week a young man entered the
cafe and took his MONDAY meal. He was
O very light eater, and his check amounted
to fifteen cents. On his way to the cash
ier's desk to settle up the young man
passed the parrot, which sat gnawing a
cracker on its perch. The young man be-
gan to tease the bird, polling the meal
check at 1t tantalizingly. The bird made a
sudden dive and jabbed its pointed bill
through the thin paper. The young man
snatched the check away, however, and,
shaking his fist at the bird, went jauntily
on to the cashiers desk.
He laid his fifteen cents down with the
check and started to Walk out. The CASH
Ter called him back and demanded forty
Ave cents more. The young man was
astonished and refused to pay. The cashier
pointed to the check with both '15" and

CoIton's has been immensely popular this

The facilities for bathing, boating, fishing

are yacht races in full view of the hotel.

From the Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
The devoted reader who took pains to pc
ruse the latest installment OF a homlly,
masquerading as a story. by Robert Grant,
IN New York magazine, may have had
his attention arrested by the following
paragraph:
If l were asked to select what one in
-fuence more than another wastes the spare
time OF modern man, I should be inclined
to specify the reading Of newspapers. The
value OF the modern daily newspaper as
short cut to knowledge of what is actually
happening in two hemispheres is indisput-
able, provided 1t is read regularly. 30 that
one can eliminate from the consciousness
those facts which are contradicted or quail
1ned On the following day. OF course it is
indispensable to read the morning. and
perhaps the evening, newspaper in order
to know what Is going on In the world.
But the persistent reading of many news
papers, or the -wholei of almost any news
paper, Is nearly as detrimental to the econ
omy OF time as the cigarette habit to
health.
Doubtless there are sometimes better
things to read thanonewspapers, but the
modern magazine iaD emphatically not one
of them. A magazine editor, for example,
has allowed the writer of the foregoing
paragraph lavish space month after month
IN which to set forth the gospel Of snoboc-
raey under the titled"The Art of Living.
q
year Mr.. Grant only notes 1t In order to
sneer at them. They are all claSsed by
this precious Boston pfig under the generic
name of Rogers the bookkeeper." and
their needful economies. their quiet lives,
their honest domestfeity. their habits Of
industry and thrift are described with the
half humorous contempt which an Ameri-
can might express, tor Congo Savage.
The man who reads Mr.. Grants disquisi-
tons can only end with the conviction that
the author holds the life Of Murray Hill
and Newport the only life worth living.
Unfortunately Ii is out of that life that
come the stories which make up the least
edifying part of the newspapers. If all
pursued the pleasant paths which Mr..
Grant lays out for the feet of his disciples
the newspaper would indeed scarcely JUS
tify Its existence.
AS it Is today, however. more may be
learned from one issue of newspaper
rightfully read than by wading through all
the facts and follies of the modern maya
zine.

A story is told of q certain Snowman
who combined with the ordinary circus
performance a display Of fireworks. At
one town he advertised the Battle of
Trafalgar, with burning ships, blazing
oceans and other magnificent effects
He drew such a vivid picture of that
great naval encounter that the people
from the entire countryside were at
tracted to see it. When the time arrived,
the Snowman brought his guiding hand
to bear on the set piece, applied the
match in the usual manner and retired
to await results. Several minutes passed,
but no battle ensued. The Snowman
then stepped forward and addressed the
crowd.
''It has not went off," he remarked
and proceeded to investigate.

again.
