A FUNNY incident occurred in Bos-
ton the other afternoon. Two cyclists,
man and woman, met unexpectedly.
The woman did not turn to the right
and the man ran straight into her
wheel, upsetting both. They scrambled
to their feet, righted their bikes and
glared at each other for half second.
Then the man coolly slapped the wom-
ans face, and, jumping on his wheel,
rolled away with lightning speed. An
eyewitness of the scene was ungallant
enough to applaud the act, for, he said,
it was deserved. Who will deny that
the bicycle is leveler of the sexes?

but kept standing him Off on this till at
length l could do so no longer. 1T is the
d. and b., said. Why own that road, ;
he exclaimed in rather puzzled way
Get out of here, you young rascal How
dare you como in here and take my time
for an hour talking about selling to me my
own railroad?' Not so fast, l retortcd.
L have adopted this method of getting you
interested in tho proposed extension of the
line for youT own good He was still
pretty hot, but cooled off by degrees while
poured the facts and figures into him.
and the upshot of it was that he agreed to
extend The road ten miles and make me
manager of the line
"Oncc heard of road that was to be
sold because the owner was short of cash
and in other trouble. 1t was u street rail
way and was doing II good business,
though badly managed. l did not have
cash enough within my control TO make
the first payments required, but concluded
to go and see a capitalist in ncighboring
town, u man who sometimes took flicr in
such properties, and see if L couldn't in
duco him to go in with me. 1 told him all
about the road, how much business it was
doing how much better it could do under
better management and so ON. / thought
l had him, but ho finally said he would
have to take time in which to consider.
But this offer only holds good few days,
l explained. 1t is II bargain, and we get
it only because the owner must have ready
cash. 1t must be closed at once, or we lose
it Notwithstanding this appeal he de-
cidCd not to invest, and l went away feel
ing pretty blue, for l knew the real value
of the property and was sure it would
provo % rich investment
"In the seat next to me in the train on
my way home were two young mon.
overheard IL good deal of their conversa-
tion. 1t turned out that ono of these mon
was on his way to investigate the condi-
tion Of the very road 1 had been talking
about, and l had my own opinion as to
who had sent him. 1t was plain enough
to me that the capitalist who had declined
to go in with me had decided to look into
the road, and if everything was found as
represented to buy the property himself,
leaving mo out in the cold. / thought tho
case over and decided upon plan of ac-
tion.
"When we reached the city, picked up
two smart boys whom / knew, pointed
out my man to them and gavo them their
instructions. They were to bc paid $40
each for their services. / knew the first
thing the agent would do was to take u
trip or two over the line to note it's condi-
tion. After that he would talk to the SUI
pcrntendcnt or owner. My boys had or
ders to keep an eye ON the agent and to
board n street Car whenever he did. The
cars We're all equipped with cashboxes,
there being no conductors As luck would
have it, he started out on his trip at u mo-
mont when traffic was dull, and ho had

Death by Spontaneous Combustion,

They that laugh at death by spontaneous
combustion and poke fun at Dickens and
Captain Marryat for their fantastic" de-
scription should ponder thoughtfully the
experiment made lately by an ingenious
Frcnchman. He procured the body of an
authenticated dipsomaniac, bored II hole in
the skull and applied thereto the flame of
candle. Wild was his joy so that he
leaped nimbly in the air when the gas from
the brain caught fire Immediately and
burned balefully for some time with a
blush light.-Boston Journal

A Singular Fact.

A singular fact is recorded in Tho Moni.
teur Industrfel-namely, that on tho shores
of Brittany between st. Malo and St. Lu.
naire, in tho vicinity of the St. Enogat
station, at place called Port Blanc, the
tides have lately displaced II considerable
amount of sand, say to n depth of some 8
to l3 feet Accompanying this remarkable
phenomenon is the fact that forests known
to have been buried for periods covering
some Is or 20 centuries have now been
brought to light, and vast forest has it
appears, been discovered in process of
transformation into coal; ferns and the
trunks and barks of trees are to be seen in
an advanced state of decomposition, being
already beyond the peat formation, show

found in coal, and, while somc of the
trunks arc 16 feet in length and still very
distinct, they are becoming rapidly trans

every turn of the seasons. The South

the way to deal with them.

This is the way last weeks contest is
viewed by the New York Adcertiser, a
prominent Republican paper The
triumph of Senator Quay in his strug-
gle for mastery of the Pennsylvania
Republican convention is an event of
more than local significance. 1t is some
thing more than signal vindication of
the prowess and force of Senator Quay
as a political leader. 1t implies some
thing besides the political downfall of
Governor Hastings and singing rebuff
for Mayor Warwick and David Martin.
1t means that the Pennsylvania dclcga-
tion to the next Republican national
convention will be controlled by Matthew
Stanley Quay and that it will oppose the
nomination of Benjamin Harrison seems
to be more certain at present than the
strict fulfllmcnt of this prediction"
