Bicycle CausuaItics.

There are collisions with carts and
carriages and also between wheel
men themselves. Then there are BIZ
cycle runaways, and how strange it
seems that a mar Should run away
with himself, but when one loses con
troll Of his wheel on a steep down
grade it certainly becomes as danger
GUS as any other runaway. A very
curious instance Of the bicycle risk is
found in the action brought by young
woman against her teacher. She was
a pupil in a bicycle school and while
taking lessons fell and broke her leg.
for which she demands $4,000 damages
alleging that 1t was due to her teach
ers carelessness. New York Letter.

HumOrs of COngress.

During an exciting debate in the
house OF representatives the members
sometimes not only indulge in mixed
metaphors, but rival Sir Boyle Roche,
the member of the Irish parliament
most famous for his 'bulls.''
A member, in referring.to one Of his
colleagues, said: @
'"rhe gentleman, like a housing owl,
is always putting in his oar where it
is not wanted"
In another speech occurred this ex-
preston:
''The iron heel of stern necessity
darkens every hearthstone.' =
And another member, in a very
forcible and dramatic manner, asked
the house this startling question:
Would you stamp out the last
Pickering embers of a life that is fast
Gliding aWay?"-Youth's Companion.

No Successors In Sight to ThucIS-
a. cray, Dickens and Holmes
There are decided Indications that
the world 'sstock Of humor is at Il low
ebb. This is noticeable even in our
own comic papers, which are constant
~ rehashing and regrinding out some
Whlte-headed gag or another. Euro
pean journals Of this class are far
worse. Their attempts at the humor-
GUS are often nauseating. In the ey-
cry day contact of life, be it in the
drawing room, in the office, or with an
acquaintance on the street, humor
lags. This confession is made at the
risk of being considered Nordauesuue.
In literature, too, the same contli-
ton of decadence as to humor pre-
walls. Modern burlesques fill their
verse with eXecrable puns, showing
no mastery either of the grotesQuely
limited minds out of which they wish
to strike spark or of their own impa-
thence with those minds. Instead of
the slight shock which true humol
should always give, the humorist of
to-day usually confuses one with Il
tumble of ideas from which no dis
tinct sense of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The gift which DR.. @. w. Holmes
termed 1.-THE sharpening ofxones men

association and the keen acid of the

is that the minds of so many of oul.
intending humOrists seem hardly able
to distinguish between their grasp Of
the feeling they desire to surprise by
contrast and their grasp Of feeling
with which they wish to contrast it.

GOOD ROADS.
What rlr. A. B. Choate Says of
1ankatO Material for that
Purpose.

Mr. A. B. Choate, of Minneapolis, in
a communication on good roads, ad-
dressing the board of trade of that
city, which is published in the ST.
Paul Pioneer Press this morning, says
among other things: SAT Mankato
there is a rock cement which was
used for the concrete foundation un-
der the Nicollet avenue asphalt, and
the exposure to travel of that found
alton during the delay in laying the
asphalt proved it to be without a
superior
In speaking of gravel which con-
tains more or less cement, he also
says: "Mr. III. P. Carney, of Manka-
to, informs me that a Mankato road
built of similar material over twenty
years ago, but containing only from
6 to per cent of iron, is in excellent
condition today. Mr.. Carney also
tells me that such material, contain
ing about 20 per cent of iron, found
on the Hudson river in New York,
was used as top dressing over fifty
years ago, and these roads are in good
condition today, although some of
them have not had cent expended
on them for repairs since they were
built"

ABOUT THE COUNTY.

From the Anaboy Heratd.)
Burt Cross recently killed a large wild
cat on the farm near Woodland, The
animal had just captured rabbit and
was making supper of it when shot
by Mr.. Cross.
William Book, the man who disap-
peared so mysteriously last week, is
still missing, no clue whatever hav-
ing been secured. 1t is generally be-
lieved that he has wandered off in the
woods and died or drowned in the
river. A party will start from this
place Sunday morning about 10
O'Clock and a thorough search made
of the timbered district north toward
Mankato.
The experiment of husking and
shredding corn with common
threshing machine. was made by
Messrs. Brush & Day on the farm OF
the latter Monday, and so success
full was the experiment. that the firm
took a contract to ''thresh" a TWEEN
ty acre patch for Mr.. Leroy living
west of town. They used common
oat sieve and inform us that the sep
aration is complete and satisfactory.
Another old time land mark was re-
moved from the old townsite of Shell
byville last week, the old barn built
in 1866 by Virgil Tiffany. The lum-
Der for this building was hauled from
Faribault, and at that early date was
considered the largest barn in South
ern Minnesota. All there is left now
to mark the scenes of early day joys
and sorrows, is one house and we sup.
pose some irreverant cuss will tear
that down some day.
