A Few Thoughts For Girls Who Ride
Bicycles.

A Few Thoughts For Girls Who Ride
Bicycles.
Encum bered as you are, dear girls, with
flowing dresses, which the instructive taste
of the ages has made, and justly made, the
ornamentation and protection OF female
modesty, the bicycle is, for you, an awk.
ward and cumbersome vehicle. Besides
the toll of straining your muscles to push
q body of Haunting sails against the wind,
YOU exhaust your lungs with an exercise
which does not properly expand them.
But apart from the effort and Inconvenience
TO Yourself, the observer discovers want
of fitness, an Indispensable element OF
beauty In action; and want sometimes
pardonable In men but never in women.
Did you ever think that while you wore
sailing along utterly incapable Of thro wing
out the graoee of women, the men who
see YOU are little amused, and little dis
appointed, and juat little wondering
what to think? Did you ever think that
these same men, some Of whom would
gallantly accompany you, in sport, yet on
the thought of more serious and absorbing
questions, would turn from the bicycling
lady? In your toiling ride, you did not
observe the queer smile and dumbness OF
men. Nobody, perhaps, has told you.
Let me toll you that the native, keen sense
of fitness was offended.
Much more might suggest, dear girls,
that the "bloomer" dress which is, be-
lieYe, kind of bifusoated frook, is consid
cred far more unpardonable invasion OF
virility. 7 am just whispering to you
across the line which separates men and
women, and wouldn't venture to whisptr
if had not thought that you were ventur..
ing. You know that man admires most
lust those qualities in woman that differ
entiate her from him. And vice versa.
She admires most just those qualities in
man which complement what she LACKS.
The moment you assume his qualities,
that moment you chill his ardor towards
you. Because, tho he may have plenty OF
self love, he cannot admire himself awk-
wardly duplicated. If you aim to captl'
yate him never e1tipguish the feminine
graces that he admires by shrouding them
under an awkward duplicate Of manliness.
If you want men to love and admire you
never wear the split frocks on the streets
or anywhere. They will soon decline into
the old French pantaloons, that were
tight. ,,
And let me invite you, girls, to read old
st. Peter, the divine, in bis lat Epistie,
3rd chapter, for an unworn-out.reclpe for
dress. Yours, ~. T.. F.

KNOXVILLE, TENN, April 25.-Jere
Baxter, president and Chief Engineer Day.
of the Tennessee Central Railway, came
over the right of way of tho line into Knox
Vile from Cookeville, l03 miles, making
the trip in three days and arriving in Kuo1-
vile last night.
Accompanying the party was r. W. 10
man, of Inman, Swan d Co., Bankers Of
New York, who are said to be backing
President Baxter. Mr.. Baxter says the
road will be built into Knoxville in IL
months. From end of road at Cookeville
to Knoxville is lob miles. There are
several contractors working on various

The Augusta Chronicle, Of last Thurs-
"a ,umor gained currency last week to
the effect that the Seaboard people serious
ly contemplated purchasing or In some
other way acquiring control of the Port
Royal and Western Carolina Railroad.
While there has been no official con6rma-
ton of the report it has become pretty
evident that there was at least some foun-
dation for 1t. The Port Royal and West
ern Carolina Road runs out from Angus.
ia, and covers important and valuable
territory in the northern and western part
of this State. One of its arms touches An
derson, second Greenville and third
Spsrtanburg.
While there seems to be no foundation
for the report that the Sesboard Air Line
has any intention Of attempting to got con.
troll of the entire road there ia very good
reason for believing that 1t would willing
ly absorb The Anderson branch oft. This
road runs from McCJrmick's, 8. O., to
Anderson, and would give the Seaboard
q route into that city and also one very
nearly into Augusta. It is rumored,
moreover, that should the Seaboard Air
Line succeed in making such deal It
would take an active interest in building q
road from Anderson across the mountains
to the West.
The bitter fight of the Seaboard with the
Southern is bound to continue as the in
terests of the two systems conflict at every
point, and there is no telling what steps
the Seaboard might take to strengthen It's
present position.

Considerate Patients.

Amusing if apocryphal stories are
told of the extreme care for the feelings
of their physicians displayed by some
patients. One such tender-hearted man.
seeing his physician coming along the
street, slipped into doorway to avoid
him.
"Why did you do that?" inquired his
companion.
"Well," said the man, whose health
had been poor until within year, Its
so long now since I've been sick, that
I'm really ashamed to meet him.
An Instance of still greater delicacy is
recorded of a man whose case had been
pronounced hopeless by his physician
but who afterward regained perfect
health. He met the doctor on the street
some time after his recovery, and the
latter had difficulty in making his for
mer patient stop to speak with him.
whats the matter?' inquired the
physician, bluntly.

said l was dying, and I'm ashamed to
have you see me alive and we'll"
Such tenderness as this merits the
approval with which a quack is said
to have commended conscientious

strong emotion, you deserve to be ill.''

DOgus Visiting Car Is.

Few of my readers have any idea OF
the large trade that is carried on i'll
Europe and especially in London in
bogus visiting cards. | hear that
Lord Denbigh, passing in front of the
windows of one of the big stltioaer5
in the west end of London, happened
to see n visiting carl bearin his name
and title exhibited as sample OF the
firms WORK.
Thoroughly aware that he hal never
had any cards engraved at that shop,
and anxious to know what po3slble
object the man could have in printing
such elaborate copper plate speci-
mems, he entered the store anil with
out mentioning his name, inquired OF
the shopkeeper whether Lord Den
bigh was one of his customers.
Quite frankly the st,tioner informed
the peer that he had never had any
communication with Lord Denbigh il
his life, but that the cards i'll question
were engraved by the firm along with
those of II number OF other peers anl
prominent persons in response to II
popular demand on the part OF the
people who bought them solely for tue
purpose Of putting them in their card
baskets and salvers with the object of
conveying the impression that the
people whose names were on the paste
boards were visitors at their houses.

Growth OF the Paper Making Ia'lnslry.

None of the great industries of the
country has shown more remarkable
growth than that OF paper making,
In 1886 the total daily capacity of atl
the paper mills of the country was
G,S69, 1889 pounds, while in 1s9j it is
placed ut the enormous figure of III,
102, $50 pounds. The largest factor
in causing this tremen lous growth
was the development of processes for
making chemical fibre anl WOO lpulp,
enabling the substitution OF thes3
materials for rags, with consequent
large reduction in the cost of making
paper. 1t is estimated that if the use
of wood pulp shall continue to increase
Mt the rate of growth maintained in
the last fifteen years, five years hene )
the consumption of spruce wool fo,
this purpose will equal the preseni
cut of spruce logs for lumber in all
New England and New York. Tha
growth of paper making is one of tha
most significant facts IN the industrial
progress of the time. -Bulfllo Con

QUEEN OF THE WEST.
California, Where the Sun Gives UncIo
Sam Good Night Kiss.


Glowing words of praise were ut
tered by Rev. Z. D. Ollie, of San Fran
cisco, when he described California to
the Christian Endeavorers ut Boston.
Said he:
Were 1t not that Callfornans are all
as modest as violets, outblushing the
Strawberries that grow there the year
round-blushlng like their world-fam-
ed fruits at praise of their own lowell
ness-I would tell you something of
alifornia-though had l the tongues
of men, and even of real estate agents,
you would still say when you come to
us, The half has not been toldr We
have wonderful empire out there;
We have arabic land enough to support
q population of 30,000000, and then
our population would be less dense
than that of Europe; an empire of our
own, as large as Spain-larger than the
nine States of Delaware, Maine, Mary
land, Massachusetts, New York, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio and
Rhode Island combined. Then the
salubrity of our climate makes Califor-
MIA the sanltarlum, the falrer Italy OF
the world; its scenery is grander than
any beneath European skies, and its
variety of productions and climate is so
wonderful as to defy even the Califor-
nian genius for exaggeration. The
Sierras, those snowy bulwarks of our
State, though their lower slopes are
rich in gold as their crests at eve with
the gold of sunset, and their farther
slopes are lined with silver like those
great crests ut noon, yet hoard no such
wealth rs the soil yields in its bilow-
ing wheat fields, its clustered vine
yards, its orchards and orange groves
bending with fruit more golden than
that of the Hesperides. Yonder the
star Of the empire stops in its west
ward course and stands still over our
young State"
