ner Reverence For Raphael.

The new Duchess of Acsta has won the heart of Italy by courtesy. Directly she arrived in Rome she went with her husband to the Pantheon to pray at the tomb of Victor Emmanuel, and she passed by the tomb of Raphael. At first she literally passed it by. but when her husband told her whose the monument was she turned back instantly and made her bow to it. The act of reverence, done in simplicity, does not bear much chronicling, perhaps, but the Italian papers cannot help printing it with sen- timental pride. It is no uncommon thing to see travelling art students kneel- ing at that tomb, but the homage of the beautiful French bride has made quite 8 corner of its own in the Italian heart.

The Wheel as a Muscle Developer.

Observations by experts show that it is not only tho legs which arc developed by wheeling. In previously sedentary persons a considerable increase ill the circumfer- cncc of the chest takes place, the increase often amounting to one, two and sometimes oven three inches. The arms and forearms also grow firmcr, and it is said that in them also quite a marked increase in size has been seen. The muscular system everywhere in the body also improves in tone,-Dr. Rooscvclt in Scribner's Nigga

DEFENDER IN THE MUD
But the Mishap Was Not a Very
 Serious One.
TO WORK ON HER NIGHT AND DAY.
Mr. Iselin Denies That His Yachts Hull Is Damaged and Declares That the Entire Trouble Is In the RigGing-The First Bet Shows Defender to Be the Favorite.

BRISTOL, R. l., Aug. 23.-Another mis- hap, though not a serious one, befell the Defender while on her way from New London to this harbor.
 She was sighted off the mouth of the harbor just after 2 o'clock, sailing stead fly in the light breeze. At about 2:30 she appeared to have come to an anchorage off Hog island lightship, but instead she was aground. The deep keel, which has already caused so much trouble, took bottom on the shoal that runs off from Hog island, and the Defender was again practically helpless.
 Her position, however, was not in the least serious, as the wind, having been very light, the yachts headway was not great. The same tactics which have been successful in previous mishaps of the same sort were at once tried, and in about half an hour the yacht cleared and was soon standing up the harbor. She dropped an chor off the Herreshoff dock at about 4 o'clock.
 Workmen were waiting for her at the dock ready to begin the work of overhaul ing her. A large number of yachtsmen and others who had heard the numerous stories concerning the damaged condition of the new boat were gathered about, but the most careful inspection of the craft failed to dislose anything amiss with her hull.
 Chief among tho men on the wharf waiting for the arrival of the yacht was corps of triggers from Boston, who at once went aboard after the Defender anchored. Their first work was to remove the top mast, and then the work of overhauling was prosecuted until nightfall.
 To Work Day and Night.
 Meanwhile the steel workers were fram- ing the new topmast bands, and labor on the metal boom was not allowed to cease and will be continued day and night un- til the work is completed
 Tho new steel gaff, which was shipped from here some time ago, but which has never been used. has been brought back here to be placed in position with the oth- CT spars. It is thought that by working without intermission the new rig of the Defender will be all in place by Monday. At any rate, it was announced tonight that tho yacht was expected to return to New York by Tuesday. The widely circu- lated stories about serious damage having been sustained by the Defender are not credited here, nor can they well be in face of the positive assertion of MT Iselin that the only reason for the Defenders trip to Bristol is to have her rigging properly ad- justCd. Mir. Iselin stated that the trouble with the Defender is entirely with her rigging. This statement was verified by Captain Nat Herreshoff, who said she would be all right when the triggers got through with her.
 In considering the published stories of damage and strain sustained by the De- fender when sho went aground on the bar some timo ago. yachtsmen here call atten- tion to tho fact that she has been docked and inspected since then, and that any weakness by strain must have been re- 1,1 n1, cred she would not have been started in Tuesday, race.

NO OAUSN EON 4L.IRnL.

The Register learns through "the agency of the Fair Haven correspon- dence of the always truthful Journal and Courier" that Representative Rob ert o. Eaton "has been presented with" fine shotgun, and asks what he is going to do with it. We cannot under- stand how Representative Eaton could possibly be presented with" a shotgun, but if one has been presented to him and he has taken it we can understand why the Register should be fustered by the fact and want to know what he is going to do with it. But we do not think there is any real cause for the Registers alarm. Representative Eaton received his training in the famous North Haven School of Politics, in which school he is now a full-fedged professor, and one of the principles most thoroughly taught there is that Democrat-hunting can be most effec- tively carried on in the hunters own town. So it is not probable that Rep resentative Eaton is about to visit the Register office with his fine shotgun.

ABo0M FoR THE BICYCLE.

Queen Victoria may never be seen on bicycle, but enough members of her family are so seen to make bicycle riding very respectable in England. President Cleveland may never be seen on a bicycle, but that has happened in Washington which has firmly af- fixed the seal of responsibility to bicy- cle-riding in this country. A justice of the Supreme Court of the United States has appeared on Massachusetts avenue mounted on a bicycle. It is said that he doesn't look any more digniffed and impressive on his wheel than some other great men and great women do, but he appears to be determined to stick to it.
 There is no good reason that we know of why a justice of the Supreme Court of the United States should not ride bicycle, if he rides it reasonably. But if he rides so as to acquire the bicycle back and the bicycle face he will make a mistake, and set an example which he should not set He will not be able to look supremely dignifed while rid- ing, even with his best efforts, but he can and should sit up straight It will also be becoming in him to show proper respect for the law in his riding and be particular about bells, lamps and pedestrians. If he rides properly and legally he will have pretty good time and will escape the censure of the wise. And what boom he will give the bicycle, which has lately been wab- bling along somewhat ridiculously un- der the woman in bloomers. Whatever dignity it has thus lost will be amply offset by it's use in Washington.

TIRE K1IFFIR CR4zE.

The craze in London and Paris to buy shares in African mines has had a shock and $50, 100000 or $2OO, 900 900 has been taken off the top of the market. This will bring some relief and make the sit uation less volcanic than 1t has been, but 1t is evident that there is more trou- ble to come. The Kaffir mania has been violent one, and the reaction will probably be thorough. Of course some of the properties traded in have value, but in London alone there are on the market 164 enterprises of no value, or very uncertain value, capitalized at $21S, 900, 900. This stuff was worked up by skiHful manipulation and credulous enthusiasm to a market valuation of $SS0, 100000 And similar state of things exists in Paris. Of course there can be but one end to this kind of thing. That end may be reached by steps, or it may be reached by sudden and complete collapse.
 How much effect the whole perform ance will have on this country is an in teresting question. The New York stock market appears to be waiting for what will happen, and there is much discussion of the matter by fnanciers. Henry Clews speaks sensibly and hope fully of the situation, as follows: The interest of the New York market in this impending explosion lies in this-that as the collapse would affect the whole investment market, our securities held in England would suffer in sympathy, and might consequently be returned on this market. It is easy, however, to overestimate the extent of that danger. The class who have participated in this craze are not likely to be the same as those who invest in our securities or speculate in them. The latter class might temporarily realize; but the de- mand would soon return. and the spec ulative interest in London would then center upon Americans, as affording the most attraction to the conservatism in speculation which would then be the order of the day. Nevertheless, Wall street cannot afford to be indifferent to
