All Sin On q Wheel.
From fhe C,hfca po Chronicle


The bicycle craze has reached China
town, New York. A riding school has been
established in Mott street for the exclusive
use of celestial enthusiasts. Quong Wo
Chang, a wealthy merchant, is among
these who are learning to ride. but he pre-
fers to have his tuition out in the street.
The other evening a visitor to Mott street
heard an unusual chattering and saw sew
eral Cinnamon out in the center of the
street. Chang was trying to learn how to
ride his steel horse. He had turned UP his
nose at the idea of riding in a bicycle
school, and was ready to practice with his
machine on the street Two children of
the orient held the safety in position, while
four more lifted Chang bodily and placed
him tenderiy in the seat, all talking at
once. and those who had nothing else to do
seated the two men pushed the Bicycle
along rapidly to get it in motion and then
let 60 Chang worked desperately with his
feet. his blouse and pigtail flying in the
several feet. and then, as If suddenly re-
memberirg something, turned squareiy
around and collided with beer keg on the
sidewalk. Chang shot over the front
Chang out. pulled his clothes out straight
and dragged him and his wheel out into the
middle of the street again. Once more the
caring wheelman was mounted. He sailed
away beautifully this time, and his
friends clapped their hands in delight.
He was nearing the end of the stretch
and going with much speed when the hind
wheel of the safety reached up and caught
the cue into its spokes, and was itself drawn
up to Chang's head, so that the celestial
shot forward on one wheel and landed up
against lamppost. Chang was so badly
dislocated that he couldn't walk back home,
so two of his frierds picked him up and
carried him away.

HIGH-wATER MARK.
Baltimore Found 1t an Improbable
Reminder of Loss.

Baltimore Found 1t an Improbable
Reminder of Loss.
From the Baltimore American.
The inscription and food line on the stone
in front of the Maryland Institute were
erased on Thursday by order of the man
ayers Of the institute. The managers de-
cided that the presence Of the flood mark
was detrimental to the interests of prop
erty owners in the neighborhood. 1t was
argued ty those who have been urging the
erasure for many years that strangers were
shy of buying property in that locality, as
the food mark suggested to them the pos
sibility of a recurrence. 1t is said that one
out-of-town business man was about to
purchase property in the neighborhood.
BILE, Indicating how high the water had
risen during the flood. He asked some
questions and the sale was not made
Property holders have also objected to the
in the wall, but the inscription giving the
date of the flood and the line have been
cut out.
The flood occurred on July "a. 1s8s when
a raging torrent from Jones' Falls nowed
through Harrison street, and was nearly
as high as the top Of the lamp posts. The
piece Of marble marked its extreme height
Over 1900 cellars and first floors were
flooded. The passengers OF a Gay street
car were in the water up to their armpits.
The car and passengers were carried down
Harrison street to Fayette. Debris was
piled many feet high in front Of the Mary
land Institute, and the market was swept
out. Crichton's whisky distillery was de-
stroyed and Long Dock bridge was covered
ever with wreckage. Charles. Fayette.
Monument, Madison, Centre. Hfllen and
Swami street bridges were carried away.
The food spread over an area OF two
square miles and did much damage.
In 1868 Jones' Falls was not confined and
had full sweep. A heavy rain caused tho
stream to overflow its banks. Since then
millions Of dollars have been spent in build-
ing walls Of the stoutest masonry all the
way along the falls on both sides. and as
far north as Union station. The flood of
1889. when Johnstown. Penn, was swept
away, was much greater here In Baltimore
than was the Hood of 1868, yet Jones' Falls
was confined. to its bed, and its surface was
many feet below the top of the walls.
Property has steadily advanced in value
ali around Jones' Falls, and 1t is just as
safe from overflow as IL it stood on Mount
Vernon place.

An Odd Nesting Place.

From an Exchange.
If you walk along the road in Loeb Shell
drake you will observe In the garden of one
of the residences a pair Of boys weather.
beaten trousers hanging on the clothes line.
This. In ITSELF Is no curiosity, but if you
knew that in one of its legs bird had built
its tiny nest and reared six little ones, you
might open your eyes.
This is the case and as the owner of the
trousers is too humane to disturb the in
genous little builder, the trousers remain
there in all sorts of weather. In showing
them to visitors, the owner tells how the
bird, while they were still damp, carried in
its little sticks and threads and arranged
them inside, and, when not disturbed
brought it's mate and reared their little
brood.
The trousers will probably adorn the gar
den till the SHOWS fall. Perhaps some be-
lated sparrow may then fir;d a cozy home in
the forsaken nest and bring its family to
occupy it for the winter.

Fight ON Horseback.

From the San Francisco Examiner.
A royal striped Bengal tiger took some
of the shine off the agile maidens who
plunged through paper hoops at the circus
last night. The equine and the tiger were
the rovelty of the show, which is replete
with startling feats of the sawdust arena
and elevated stage.
Victoria. as the beast is called, does
stirring eql estrian act on the padded back
of an anguished horse inside of a circular
steel cage. Neither the horse Lor the tiger
seem to enjoy themselves as they should,
but the spectators. who completely filled
the mammoth tent applauded the turn.
The tiger rides well and jumps through
the paper hoops with all the grace and
skill of the young lady in pink tights. But
the exercise Is extremely wearing on the
horse. Three valuable circus steeds died
of heart disease, superinduced by fear,
while the tiger was training for this amaz-
ing ac-. They never knew what moment
they might be killed ard carried off into
the jungle.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Two children of John Fehr, residing near
straus.own, had thrilling adventure with
a swarm Of bees. The insects left the hive
in large, black and variegated BALI as is
usual when swarming, and alighted upon
two-year-old child. who was playing In the
ward. totally unaware Of the danger. An
other child Merton, aged fourteen years.
fortunately realized the dangerous condi-
tion of affairs, and having learned that
swarms will vacate certain places when a
noise is produced, at once secured some tin
kettles and hammered upon them with
great energy. The din and confusion caus-
ed the bees to leave the child unharmed,
and in a few moments more the swarm
alignted on a large pine tree. where the
owner subsequently captured them and
placed them in a hive. Neither of the
children. singular to relate, had received
single sting.
