THERE were 100000 bicycles made
in this country last year, and this years
output will more than double that. As,
outside of the retailers very considerable
commissions, nearly all the money paid
for bicycles goes for labor, we can endure
with complacency to see the wheel dis
place the horse. This reminds us of
labor retormers who dcEounce labor
saving machinery. Every labor-saving
machine makes work for 100 where it
apparently takes it away from one. For
example, in the beginning of the century
blacksmiths laboriously forged out near
ly everything that was made of iron,
from nails to anchors. The introduction
Of Matchmaking, wire drawing, screw and
nut cutting, ETC., machines, it was loudly
predicted would reduce the blacksmiths
to beggary, yet there are more men en-
gagged in making bicycles to-day than
there were blacksmiths in the country
in 1900; they are making much better
wages, and the bicycle would not have
been possible without tie labor-saying

LoUIsvILLE's MANUFACTURES.


Louisville has ready access to the
magnificent forests of hardwood in Ken
lucky and Tennessee, and this has led
to the development of special industries.
She has four large wagon factories, one
of which is as extensive as any in the
world. She has a very large hickory
handle factory, four large pillow factories,
one claiming to be the biggest in the
United States, large spoke factory, and
very extensive furniture factories. Her
cheap coal and iron have built up large
furnaces, foundries, and machine shops,
and the city stands fifth in the list of
iron working centers of the country.
She has Is large tanneries, which
produce annually 100000 sides of what
is claimed to be the best oak-tanned sole,
betting and harness leather in the world.
Besides they turn out annually 100000
tanned sheep-skins. They have capital
of 100000, and employ 600 men.
The saddlery factories turn out
100000 worth of goods yearly. Be
tween $4,000 and $4,000 barrels of
cement are made each year, and the five
great WOODEN mills turn out S3,50G,000
worth of goods annually, principally the
famous Kentucky jeans. About 1900
people are employed in this. She has
one cotton factory with 10,400 splindles,
and employs 200 people. 1t makes a
speciality of colored cotton yarns.

Germs, most of which are growing rapidly

NO PIE FOR HIM.
Ns,o York Sun.

Several gentlemen, who, people believe, are
very much in politics, are constantly telling
interviewers that they are "entireIy out of
politics" On the other hand. Col.'W. G. p
Breekinridse, who is about as much out of poll
tics as a dried Goldfish in country store is out
OF the Atlantic, writes to the louisville Courier
Journat Indignantly denying that ne is OUT and
proclaiming his intention OF staying in. Now
the question turns what Col. Breckenridge
considers being in politics" If he means
simply that he is in politics to the extent that
most plain American citizens are who exercise
the proud privilege of expressing their opinions
on the street-corners, yelling in Conventions
and voting for their favorits candidates, he is
unquestionably lin politics." Butif he means
that he is still anywhere in actual sight and
reach of the pie counter, with chance of grab
bing even tho smallest piece of the poorest kind
of pie, he is simply giving the country stiff
wind.

expected to pass an examination in
French, German, camera lucida, draw
ing, microscopic work, geography and
practical ornithology, and for the use
of ali these accomplishments for eight
hours a day the Government OF the
United States will pay HIM salary of
$500 per annum. Among other duties
he will be expected to identify and
chemically analyze seeds and other
substances found in the stomachs OF
birds. At the same time ordinary
messengers, colored and white, are
paid $72O and $40 year, typewriters
and copyists, $1,000; stenographers,
$1,000, and so on. This position has
been open for some time, and there is
no immediate probability of its being

Imagination Aids Surgery.

Imagination is not to be sneezed
at, said prominent surgeon to
Rochester Democrat man the other
day, as his eyes followed the brisk
movements of a middleaged woman
who was passing.
"Three years ago." said he, "that
woman came to one of the hospitals OF
the city and engaged a private room.
She drove to the institution in a car
riage and was carried to her bed on a
stretcher. She insisted that one OF
her ankles was helpless and that she
could not walk. The house surgeon
made an examination and could not
discover that she had the slightest all
ment. The next day the head sur
geon looked her over carefully and
came to the same conclusion. What
is more, being a somewhat brusque
and outspoken person, he said as
much to her. At this she was very in
dignant and insisted upon keeping
her bed. No amount of persuasion
could induce her to make any effort to
walk, and she insisted that her ankle
was helpless and so sensitive that the
slightest touch of her foot to the
ground caused her the most acute
pain.
Finding all efforts to persuade her
to do anything for herself fruitless,
the surgical staff held q consultation
and determined to humor her. Con.
sequently the following day the wo-
man was told that she was suffering
from a serious ailment, and prepara-
tions for an operation were made with
a great parade of nurses, instruments
and the like. The patient was then
placed under the influence of an an8s-
thetic and slight incision was made
over the ankle joint. This was mere
ly superficial, although it was several
inches in length. 1t was Immediately
sewed up, carefully bandaged and the
patient removed to her bed, where
she found herself whec she recovered
consciousness. After this she was
subjected to the same care that would
be given to the most serious cases for
two weeks. The wound was dressed
daily; the patient was enioined to re-
main in one position, and her diet
was carefully prescribed. At the end
of this time the bandages were re-
moved, the stitches taken out, and
few days later the woman walked out
of the hospital as well as you see her
to-day. There has never been the
slightest thing the matter with her,
but she thought there was, and the
pretended operation satisfied her."

The Secretary of the United States
Treasury has issued a circular pre-.
scribing regulations to govern the
award of gold and silver life saving
medals within the jurisdiction of the
Treasury Department. According to
this circular the saving of life or civ.
ing of succor does not, in itself, en-
title person to medal The medals
are given In only those exceptional in
stances in which peculiar bravery has
been displayed, or in which unusual
effort OF some great personal sacrifice
has been made. Tt also appears that
under recent opinion of the Attorney
General, the saving of persons from
drowning in waters wholly within q
State and not forming n part Of the
navigable waters of the United States
or in small inland streams, ponds,
pools, etc., does not entitle the rescuera
to medals. Washington Star.
