Rules for Bicycling.

A surgeon gives, i'm an English
magazine, some rules for bicycle rid
ing;
|. Never ride within an hour of a
meal, which means either. before or
after.
>. Wheel the machine up any hill
the mounting of which on the hill
causes any real effort.
8. See that the clothing around the
stomach, neck and chest is loose.
4. Have the handle bar sufficiently
raised to prevent STOPPING.
5. Be as sparing as possible of taking
fluids during long ride. Rinsing the
mouth thoroughly, as well as gargling
with cold water, will quench the Thirst
rs well rs, if not better than, fluids in
to the stomach in large quantities.
@. Except the wind, roads, etc, lie
favorable, never ride more than ten
miles an hour, except for very short
distances.
:. Never smoke while riding.
Attention to these points will tend
to relieve the pressure on the right of
the heart, breathlessness will largely
be prevented, and even persons with
certain forms of heart disease may ride
with safety.

A Midnig 1t Journey.

| never saw the domesticity and
maternal love of the feline species
better proved than in the case of an
old tortoise-shell cat, owned 10y my
Aunt Sallie. This old cat and her
three kittens were given to a grandson.
He took them home one night in big
basket-a distance of three miles by
road, or a mile and a quarter through
the "West Woods"
Early next morning my aunt stood
in the door looking curiously across
the road towards the woods.
"Well, never' she suddenly ex-
claimed; "there's Pinkie coming
horne"
Through the woods covered with
dense underbrush, over ploughed fields
and marshland, and at night, poor old
Pinkie had Travelled home, bringing
her little family. We watched her
toiling wearily along the last few yards
of her Journey Each time she would
pick up the last kitten of the line,
carry it ahead of the first one a few
feet, and lay it carefully down in a sof
spot; then go back for the last one
again. Now and then she would stop
and wash the kittens faces with moth
erly solicitude. 1t is needless to say that
Pinkie and her babies We're warmly
received at the old homestead, and
were never sent off again.
One of those same kittens that made
the midnight journey at the tender age
of three weeks sits on my desk beside
me, trying TO manipulate my pen now
and then, perhaps to urge it to greater
praise of her worthy mother.-Our
AaiBldl Friends.

Ruxlsy's Courtship.

Sir w. Fowler tells the story of Hux-
ley's courtship. When the Rattle
snake was in Sydney harbor, the oiii-
GERS were invited to ball, and young
Huxley among the number. There
for the first time he met his future wife,
whose parents resided at sydney. \
few days after they were engaged, and
the ship sailed for the Torres Straits to
complete the survey of the north coasts
of Australia, all communication being
cut off for months at time, and then
she returned direct to England.
After that brief acquaintance, not
longer than fortnight, it was seven
years before the lovers saw one another.
At the end of this time, on Huxley 5
appointment to the School of Mines, he
was in a position to claim his bride and
welcome her to their first home in St
Johns's Wood. HuXley's love at first
sight, and constancy during those sew
en- long years of separation, were rich
ly rewarded, for it is impossible To
imagine pair more thoroughly suited

to the landing where Nita Guthrie had
her mysterious fright and fall. The
door of the room she occupied was open.
All was darkness within. Holden, fol-
lowed by Kenyon, entered, and they set
their lights upon table. The side win
dow was shut and barred, the south win
dows as firmly closed Everything
looked neat and undisturbed, but cold
and deserted. No sign of an intruder
for moment to the eyes of either man.
Then of sudden Holden made spring
for the toilet table, seized small silver
frame and stood glaring at it.
"By Jove! look herer'
whats the natter" asked Kenyon.
"Dont you see?" was the answer, as
the doctor held the face of the frame
toward him, empty and gaping. "Nita

Deadly Shots Fired by The Sun.

In the papers of last Saturday appear
ed an account of Sstrange accident in
which man was killed by the dis
charge of a gun while lying asleep on
lounge i'm his room, the weapon be-
ing discharged by reflected rays Of the
sun falling upon the cartridge chamber
of the firearm.
Since the publication of the story a
correspondent from York, Pa, writes
concerning the accident, and refers to
similar case, in which, through the
efforts of a clever Cincinnati lawyer
named G.. C.. Wallis, the person accused
of murder and sentenced to be hanged
was set nj liberty, the circumstantial
evidence on which lie was convicted
being entirely exploded by witnessed
demonstration as TO how the accident
really occurred.
The York correspondent referred to
volume l3 Of the criminal Law Maga-
zine, Page 607, on which full account
OF tbc ease appears. The ease was that
OF tlie Stale of Tennessee against Avery,
tried in Henry county, that State, and
is one OF the most remarkable in the
history of criminal Jurisprudence.
In June, 1887, Charles Ensley, the
cousin If a man of the name of Avery,
was killed i'm his rooin while laying on
lounge, about three o'clock in the
afternoon. The weapon which caused
the death was small rifle, sending a
81 caiibrc ball through Ensley's brain.
No one Was in the house at the time
but Ensley,
Avery was arrested for the crime, as
he was the emily living close relative to
Ens!ey, and by his death profited to
the amount of Si00,0o0. Avery was
tried, pleaded not guilty, but was con-
victed of murder in the first degree,
and sentenced to be hanged. He ap-
pcaled 10 the Supreme Court, and
engaged Mr.. Wallis to defend him.
The Supreme Court remanded the case
back To the Circuit Court on technical
errors. Two misstrials were brought
about, and then came the strangest
part of the story. The brilliant Wallis
struck the keynote of the mystery. In
August, 1891, he had the rifle loaded
and hung on tie wall. \ white sheet
with the form OF a man marked on II
was placed in exactly the position oc-
eupied 10y Ensley when lying asleep,
aud heavy cut glass pitcher of water
like the one found in the room was
plsced on thc shelf above. The tenn

WASHINGTON.
THE DEATH OF S. L. BRINsMADE.


 Washington people will sincerely mourn the death of one of it's best known citizens, s. l.. Brinsmade, popu- larly known by his fellow townsmen as "Ley Brinsmade,'' which occurred on Monday. He was formerly mem Brinsmade, who were instrumental in giving Washington Depot it's first boom. Both Messrs Baker 6 Brinsmade were tremendous workers, and the result was that they built up splendid business at the Depot. Since his retirement from business in the mercantile line, MT Brinsmade has opened his charming home on Washington Green to summer guests. He only had to say the word and the capacity of his house was taxed to it's utmost. By urgent request of many New Workers, who wished to par take of his hospitality, he enlarged one of his houses, this fall, enabling him to accommodate an increased number of guests. But death has cut short his plans and removed a man who will be missed in the community. Mir Brinsmade possess ed a happy nature, and his straightfor- ward and frank manner of meeting peo- pie made him hosts of friends. During period of two or three years the writer has known MT Brinsmade, and with many of his neighbors and old associates was sincerely pained to learn of his death. MT Brinsmade is survived by a wife, son and a daughter.-[ Parish.
