At Rome the other day an enormous
crowd assembled in the square of st.
Peters to watch two women dressed
in black who crept across the square to
the church doors on their knees, brush

repeatedly kissing the stones they had
cleaned. One was a Hungarian, the
other a Spaniard. 1t was found that
they were afflicted with religious
monomania and they will be sent back

BICYCLES AND LEGISLATION.

TIE vexed question Of the rights of
bicycle riders on public highways bids
fair TO become one OF the stock pro-
BILE ms of civilization. To the local
city father and the rural legislator 1t
has opened up a boundless field Of
intellectual activity, field in which
we may expect to see the bucolic
mind indulging itself in the most sur
prising and eccentric gyrations without
let or hindrance. Already there is a
very fair crop of bills on the subject,
but the season in the Western Legis-
latures has evidently been backward
one, and il is feared that the genei al
average may indicate shortage. In
this emergency it is gratifying to re-
fleet that foreign ideas are still on the
free list, and some recent suggestions
on the subject from the Paris Figaro
may possibly serve as a seed corn for
future experiments. Among other
needed reforms the Figayo proposes
that all pedestrians shall be duly
numbered and registered, and that
they shall be compelled to ring bell
or blow a horn when crossing a street
or meeting bicycle on public road.
AT night all unmounted citizens shall
wear lantern depending from the
neck by means of stout cord, and be
furnished with the regulation red side
lights. No citizen shall proceed at
faster rate than one mile in two hours
while within the city limits, and this
provision will particularly apply to
messenger-boys and people who are
in the habit of attending local conha-
gratlons. Any Pedestrian who gets
knocked down by a bicycle shall he
mulcted in heavy amount for the
first offence, and for the second he
shall be transported for life to a
mountainous district. 1t is hoped
that strict compliance with these
regulations may do away with the
annoyance and danger now attending
the use of the bicycle.
There is perhaps one view of the
/ question that is entitled to serious
consideration. The bicycle has an
undoubted right to the use of public
highways, but there is no reason why
the riders should not observe the rules
of The road, especially in passing or.
dlnary vehicles from behind. Horses
that have become perfectly accustom-
ed to meeting bicycles may yet be
startled by the sudden apparition of a
rider who comes up noiselessly from
behind and whizzes past on the aorong
side. There is no excuse for this
sort of thing, and riders and drivers
may be justified in resenting it. Any
! road is wide enough if it is bounded
by courtesy and good will.-FrOm

Early Grandmothers.

The record for early grandmotherly
honors appears to be held by Mrs. Cla-
rissa Jackson, of Delaware, a negress,
now about thirty-four years OF age,
She became a grandmother when she
was twenty-five years old. When she
was eleven years old she married, and
a year later gave birth to a daughter.
The daughter married at twelve years
of age, and at the age of thirteen had
a daughter. A negro woman living In
1883 at Chapel Hill, N. c., took a prize
in that year for being the youngest
grandmother in that State, having had
a granddaughter when she was twenty
eight years of age. The Empress OF
Austria was aged thirty-six when her
first grandchild was born. Queen Vic
toria became grandmother at forty,
and the Princess of Wales at forty-fve
years of age. .ec.,

Bicycles are vehicles, at least such
is the decision of Judge Payne of
Chicago. The case which was tried
and resulted in the above verdict, was
brought by tenant in one of the
sixteen story buildings, who was re,
fused permission by the janitor to take
his bicycle TO his room on the eleva-
tors. He then wanted to carry it up
the stairway, but was also prevented
by the janitor. So he brought suit,
and the result is, according to Judge
Payne's idea, the bicycle is vehicle
and cannot be brought into building
