1t is established by statistics that
more than 80 per cent. of the whiskcy
sold by dealers is less than two years
old. Whistles for human use should
be much older. Chemistry and medi,
cal experiments show that young whis-
key is injurious to the human system,
wlliio on the other hand it is asserted
by the bes, and most learned mcdica
mcn that good old whiskey taken iu
diciously is highly beneficial, because
the aromatic elements found in old
whiskey do not dcrangc but stimulate

Fondnsss for Children.

In discussing the characteristics Of
certain great men, London journal
calls attention to the fondness for chill
dren for which many men famous In
history are noted. Conspicuous among
these was Napoleon, who, it is said,
used to take the infant king of Rome
IA his arms, and, standing in front Of
the mirror with him, would there make
the oldest grimaces in the glass. At
breakfast he would take the child upon
his knee, dip his fingers In tho coffee
and daub his face with It, at which We
are told the child's governess scolded,
tho emperor laughed and the young
king ALMOST always appeared delighted.
Those who, on such occasions, had .
favor to solicit from the emperor were
generally sure of being favorably re-
ceived. OF Cato, the Roman censor, it
is told that no matter how much busi-
ness he had on hand, or how important
that business was, he would never
leave his home without. first having
seen his wife wash the baby.

hang together under almost any cir
cumstances 1 concluded to 60 ahead
with it. 1 put my left foot on the step
that extends out from the hub of the
hind wheel, and hopping with my right
foot pushed it ahead of me. The ma
chine behaved beautifully, but perhaps
that was because l hoped the whole
length of the lawn and had not the
courage to jump up into the saddle.
On the next round my natural bravery
returned to me, and raised myself
what emphatically and not too COM
fortably. The wheel seemed to be
amazed at this, for with large space
of lawn to wander over, it promptly
dashed over the borden to the left,
then, with wild swoop to the right,
fell and landed me in rose bush.
Nothing seemed to be broken except
the bush, SO l tackled it again and
again and again. The result of the
first mornings work was that I could
place myself in the saddle and trundle
along the lawn hanging on like grim
death to the handle bar. but without
daring to put my feet on the pedals.
I discovered more different muscles
in my own body than had any idea
possessed. Every bone and sinew
ached. not with the falls, for had
been singularly lucky in that respect,
but with the exertion of hopping along
after the machine, and springing into
the saddle and straining every nerve to
keep the combination from going over.
Not to make too long story of it,
may say that for three days the ma
chine and discussed this matter, and
every morning when I led it out on to
the lawn l seemed at first to know less
about balancing myself than l had
done when l quilted the business the
day before. Perhaps during the night
the machine had thought up some new
tricks.
At last l rose up very early one
morning, long before the season-ti ticket
man began to pass my house to go to
the railway station, for his London
train. felt that the lawn was getting
too small for me. I could now work
the pedals reasonably we'll, and stagger
about the place from one end to the
other of the grass plot, but could not
turn around, for when I attempted to
do SO the machine would swoop like g
hawk into one of the flower beds o,
into convenient piece of shrub berry.
Our neighborhood is quiet one, and
the street. at most times. is not se
busy as the Strand. Iexpected to have
it all to myself in the early morning
