4 MISSIONARY BICYCLE.
Such a Strong Attraction That It Broke

 lip the Gospel Meeting.
 (From the Cleveland Leader.)
 The following is an extract from a letter recently received by the Rev. H. A. SchaufI1er from his daughter, mis- sionary in Persia:
 MT. Allen, the superintendent of the industrial department, has gone to America to learn something more of the iron trade, as an iron department is to be added to the shop. He started off on his bicycle and expected to ride to Batoum, on the Black Sea, stop at Samsoon, and run up to Marsovan on his wheel to see the training school there, and take the steamer to Mar seilles and run across France, making the journey as cheap as possible.
 ''In August he took a tour to the southern part of our field on his wheel. He would leave the horsemen who &C., companied him way behind him, and rode most of the way alone. Every where he was an object of the greatest wonder and excitement. Some said that it was the cholera come again.
 He would get. to a village and the whole place would gather to see him. He would have to give an exhibition, and finally end up in some open place where the native helper who accompa- nfed him would be ready to hold a ser vice The congregation was there with no ringing of bells, except the bicycle bell.
 MT. Allen says that in this way vil- Iages were opened up where never be fore had the Gospel message been al- lowed to enter. But sometimes he got into trouble, and at one place such Q mob surrounded him that he had to get out of that village at the earliest op- portunity.
 "One day he was riding along alone when he saw a horseman ahead of him, who stopped and stared with all his might at this strange apparition. Then the man drew out cartridge and slipped it into his gun, at which MT. Allen jumped off his wheel with the greatest alacrity and called out: l Don't shoot. I'm a man!'

of the ribbon is often drawn over the
 base of each of the wings, and a hand some jewel buckle of some kind is set
 against the ribbon and between the wings. Such a hat is made of black felt, the brim sometimes of wire run
 with chenille, as that is more becom- ing to the face and is stylish without
 being startling. In black, brown or
 blue it will go with any gown.
 Dressy hats are easily possible in
 small sizes, too. The theater bonnet is
 as small as it was last season and ela-
 borate toques of the type displayed here are abundant. This one was of wired jet and it's sides near the crown
 were raised to form three wings, with
 an aigrette at the right side The edge was wound with a twisted roll of yell low velvet, accompanied by a second twist of lace prettily entwined with 1t,
 and small yellow velvet roses and leaves were placed in groups all round the edge and about the velvet twist at the left side
 The daintiest little Russian affairs for the head are made of little more than a band of fur that is set low on the forehead just a little over one eye, and the effect is as coquettish as can be. For the rest, the band unexpected 1 ly stops half way around, and dissolves into a pretty fall of lace that lies close to the hair and that takes away the se- verity that the fur makes one expect. These little affairs cost a lot at tha shops, but made at home they are just
 as pretty and don't cost but very little. FLORETTE.

But such large hats are in good taste only when ac- companying picturesque or very dres- sy costumes, and although all the nlil- liners have the terrifying models, the average woman is wearing during her shopping an inoffensive little hat with ordinary crown and straight brim mar roWed little towards the sides of the head at the back. Such hat is set with a pair of mercury wings at either side of the front on the very edge of the crown.

A San Francisco man has found out how to talk to his neighbor by using the water pipes as telephone. His ex- perience is that the sound is carried when the water runs, and in the direc- tion in which it flows. After hitting on this accidentally he put it into daily use in the way he tnus describes: l told my neghbor of it, and we have put it to practical use. When I wish ito speak to him l tap on the window, and he turns on the water in his house and listens while I talk to him over the water pipe in an ordinary tone of voice. When I have finished he turns off the water in his house and I turn it on in mine and listen. In that way we carry OH long conversations with as much ease as if he were in the room with me. Still. our houses are about twenty feet apart.

The skilled labor of the school-teach- CT commands small compensation in some parts of Wisconsin. The supply is greater than the demand. In some districts in Brown county positions go to the lowest bidder, instances being cited where teachers have bid SIS a month, and taught an entire school year at that rate of salary. The average sum per month paid male teachers in Brown county schools in October was SPA, while women employed as teachers received an average of SIS per month. The low rate of wages paid teachers may account for the fact that of the S4S,- 900 raised in Brown county for the maintenance of schools last year there is an unexpended balance of S10,OOO. Nothing is said in the report from which the above facts are taken as to the quality of the service rendered.

three weeks ago that the first symp-

appearance, and although everything
within the power Of human energy and
skillwas accomplished the great Father
seemed to have willed it otherwise, and
her demise occurred on Sunday night.
To the sorrowing parents we extend

their lovely child is now among the
angels of heaven.
There was large attendance at the
funeral which was held in the Episco-
