The latest charge brought against the
bicycle is that it Injuries the bookseller e
trade. Books never have the same sale
In summer as in winter, despite the fact
that paper covered novels are in demand
by the loungers at the seashore, but this
year there is said to be a more than
usual depression in the trade The
wheelman is blamed for this, rs It is
logically argued that while indulging
in his favorite pastime he cannot posi-
bly, be reading book, and that when he
gets home from his spin he is too tired
TO read. AS the cycling craze is con-
stantly increasing, the result OF its
growth upon literature would make an
interesting study.-Philadelphia Rec

Fate of a French Spy In Madagascar.

from the seat of war in Madagascar
says: 1.-THE commander Of the Hugon
sent Sakalava with as francs to bribe
the people at the Hova port OF Ambodi-
valiibe cat the Bottom OF the Noun
tain'') to show him over the battery
which is on the beach and mount
ed guns. By mistake he ad-
dressed himself to the captain OF the
port, who, being ONLY in "lemba" at
the time, was not distinguishable from
any one else Having shown the Saka-
lava everything to his satisfaction, the
captain had a stone tied onto the spy 8
neck, sent him out to sea in a canoe and
had him thrown overheard in sight OF
the French man f-war's boat, which
was behind the bluff waiting for him.
The same day were shot seven ENJOYS
of the French sent to steal cattle in the
plain. Many spies are caught, and most
of them are shot. "

1t Rang the Bell.

A writer tells in the New York Irin-
une how an earthquake in an Italian
city announced itself:
Late one evening Isoletta and Cate
rina rushed in upon us in terrified excite
ment as we sat reading by tho light OF
an oil lamp in the yellow room.
Their faces were Of the whitcness OF
paper, and their eyes had wild express
sion Of fear.
"Signora, what is the matter? Every
bell in the house is ringing. Maria
Sanctissima, what will become of us"
must explain that the bells were OF
the old fashioned variety, which hang
on wires and are pulled by bell rope.
"Per carita, signora, come and see
what has happened. "
They were so much in earnest that,
to calm their fears, we went into the
hall. There were the 10 bells hung III
q row and ringing as though the furies
were at the other end Of the ropel
Ringing Of their own accord apparently,
or at least pulled by no visible hand.
OF a sudden we became aware that
the floors were trembling, the walls
were shaking. The whole building
moved on its foundations; it swayed
from side to side, at first slightly, then
farther and farther, with a slow,
rhythmic motion, full Of grace and
majesty; but we could realize no sensa-
ton beyond sickening terror.
It was an earthquake. The motion
lasted few seconds, then ceased grad
ually. Had it continued three seconds
longer the tall obelisks, the beautiful
campanili, would have fallen
