Oakwood Park Family Theatre.

The pavilion at lakewood park was half
filled, last evening, and everybody laughed
heartily at the funny features of the per-
formance, which was lively and some parts
good. 1t has variety enough to hold the
interest, and some of the speclalties are
very skillfully rendered.
It should be borne in mind that this
summer theatre is run under the auspices
of the Electric Road and can be recon-
mended favorably to the public. Anybody
who has been there will tell you that the
is good one for the low
price of admission. See al In another

Indoor Bicycle Riding.

Nowadays every one wants to ride o
bicycle, but many do not attempt it be-
cause they dread the ordeal of learning.
In the first place they dislike the idea Of
abrasions and bruises, and in the second
they can hardly bring themselves to the
sacrifice Of dignity which-the founder
ings of the beginner usually entail.
They need no longer hesitate. The BIZ
cycle can now be learned indoors, safe
from prying eyes and without fear Of
falls. Anew appliance designed for this
purpose consists Of small flywheel
covered with rubber aud two side wheels
fitted with simple arrangement by
means of which it can be adjusted to
any kind Of cycle in two minutes Its
great advantage is that the rider expe.
riences the same M momentum as in spin
on q hard road. while the machine
either remains stationary or moves SO
slowly that i'll traversing Is feet the
same amount of exercise is obtained as
in mile Of ordinary travelling.
Practice can thus be carried on in q
hall or room, and riders can gauge the
rate of speed their exertions would have
given them on the highway. For begin
ners, children and invalids needing phys
ical exercise this invention is specially
adapted, as it stands perfectly steady
and enables the difficulties Of mounting
and dismounting to be thoroughly over
come without danger of falls or bruises

The hank Trust.

1t is reported that the school book
trust is springing new and very
shrewd scheme on the people Of some
of the counties in Illinois. 1t is q
WILL known fact that the reason why
the present legislature has not passed
a county uniformity bill is because
the school book trust has influenced
the powers that be in that body.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
trust has prevented the passage OF a
county uniformity law, it has q
scheme along that line that would
result very favorably to its interests
if not exposed in time.
The trusts plan. as described by
an exchange. is to send its agents
into county and secretly employ.
for the vacation, six to twelve Of the
most prominent teachers. then in
struct them to urge upon the county
superintendent the Importance Of
county uniformity of text books. II
they succeed in entrspping the su-
perintendent, they manage to be Sc
lected as q committee to select the
books-it not being known at that
time that these men are actual agents
of the trust-and of course being in
the pay OF the trust they select a
complete list of the trust books. or
nearly so, for sometimes the trust
will permit them to give an unim-
portant book-speller, copy book or
grammar-to some outside house as
kind Of sop, in order that their
selection will not smell too rank.
After the committee has selected the
books, the plan is to have the county
superintendent to send circular let.
tiers to all the school boards of the
county. In which he claims that the
books ''were selected with great
care" and he dwells upon the i'm.
portance Of county uniformity, and
instructs the directors to introduce
the books.

Wood Pavin1.

A nonslipping wood pavement has
been recently devised which is claimed
to be simple. inexpensive and efficient:
1t consists in preparing the wooden
blocks before they are laid by boring a
few holes in them and filling the same
with hard setting substance composed
Of crushed stone, bitumen and Portland
cement. The compound is cleared off
even with the surface. and when they
are laid the roadway is thus covered
with series Of rough spots which ar
rest the foot of the horse in all condi.
tions of weather, and prevent the ami
NAL from slipping. Wood paving is ex-
tensively used in England and France.

HaDdred Year, Ago.
Cheating in trade is no new thing. It
was practiced in the fourteenth century
- well as In the nineteenth. Our town
records contain many cases Of summary
jurisdiction in matters affecting the
price, weight and quality Of food, cloth.
ing and other things.
Gull few from the archives of the
city Of London. In 1S4S proceedings
were taken against butcher for selling
putrid meat. Three reasons were alleged
against this conduct at his trial before
the mayor and aldermen It was deceit

ic health; 1t brought scandal and dis
grace upon the mayor, corporation. and
all the inhabitants Of the city that a
Londoner should behave So After the
Investigation he was found guilty, and
condemned to be taken, with his bad
meat carried in front of him, to the pill.
lory in Cornhill. and while he STOOD
therein the carrion he had tried to sell
was burned under his nose.
It is well known that the pillory
was an instrument in which the culprit
was fixed, incapable of movement, ex-
posed to the contempt Of the people
The offense Of the culprit was always
publicly proclaimed, and, according to
the views Of the spectators, the punish
ment might be severe or otherwise. If
they disliked the offense of the offender.
their contempt would take the proven
bial and forcible form of rotten eggs
and dead cats, and the trader would
make a closer acquaintance with his
own wares, both raw and cooked, than
he might find pleasant.
A publican, convicted of selling un
sound and unwholesome red wine, was
sentenced to drink draft Of the same
stuff which he sold to the common peo.
pie. the remainder being poured ON his
head, and compelled to forswear the call
ing Of a vintner in the city Of London
forever. unless he could obtain the favor
Of the king. 4 note on the record states
that he was readmitted five years later.

far as possible, the cause of the offense
was always exhibited along with the

Severe punishment was meted out for

1347 a merchant was imprisoned for 40
days for enhancing the price of his own
property. He secretly employed a man
to bring certain of his own (the mer-
chant's) wheat to the market, where
upon he bought his own at twopence more
per bushel than the market price, of

Two Doctors.

Almost every one has made his jest
about the proneness Of doctors to dis
agree, the one prescribing exactly an op-
posite course from that ordered by an
other, but not every one has had an OPP
portunity to conduct such an experiment
as was made. by the late Baron Lutz,
formerly, prime minister Of Bavaria.
The baron was once severely wounded
in battle in both legs. The wound in
one leg was much like that in the other.
It struck him that there was q chance
to study the ways of the surgical pro-
fession and beguile the long hours Of his
convaleecence. He accordingly called in
one doctor, and gave him charge Of his
right leg, bnt told him nothing about
the wound in the other, and then called
in another doctor for his left leg, keep
ing him similarly in ignorance about
the wounded right leg.
The doctors adopted q very different
method Of treatment, but both wounds
healed at about the same time. When
the barou'a. legs were quite well, he de.
rived great deal Of amusement from
getting the doctors together and mysti.
flying them with questions about the
way each had treated ''his leg. AT.
