A Beverage for wheelmen.

Next 10 being lost at sea there is nothing
that brings on the pangs Of thirst quicker
than bicycle riding The hot sun and the
constant inhalation of pust quickley parhhes
the throat and makes the biker long for the
next stop for refreshments The wise rider
avoids ice water, knowing its danger.
Alcoholic beverages are likewise tabooed be-
cause Of their heating prepensities, and there
is little satisfaction in wishy-washy stuff

drinks" A well-known wheelman, in speak
ing of this said
i'what to drink is no easy problem to a
man on long, hot run. The only drink
know really fit for a bicycle rider is Hires
Rootbeer carbonated. There are but few
places now but which it cannot be had, and
I tell YOU it braces one right up, seems to

nothing like it, and I've sworn of all other
drinks when on the road" Hires Root
beer, carbonated, is made from the famous
Hires Rootbeer extract by the same formuiss
without adulteration of any kink. Besides
being delicious it possesses many medicinall
qualities, making it as popular with wheel
men and pedestrians as the good home made
Hires Rootbeer is with the folks at home.

Ice cream is prominently an AIneri-
can specially. All the Atlantic passen-
ger steamers plying between this port
and Europe take aboard in New York
sufficient supply Of ice cream for the
VOYAGE back to New York as well as for
the outward journey, despite TIE fact
chat the cost Of the article is greater
here than abroad. and that it is expen-
sive stuff to keep The round trip oecu-
pies at least three weeks, and the cream
has to last that period, one week OF
which the ship is tied up in dock. with
the cream eating up ice in the refrlger-
ator at a prOdigious rate. When the au-
tumn rush homeward sets in and the
steamers are crowded to the limit, the
amount of ice cream thus carried from
this port and kept at least two weeks for
use ON the return voyage is a big item
in the provision account. Many kinds OF
provisions and supplies are cheaper in
Europe than here, and Of these the
steamers lay in a double stock at the Eu-
ropean ports. Ice cream, too, is cheaper
in Europe, but it has the fatal disad-
vantage that it is not ice cream as the
American regards the article.
Ice has come to be less Of novelty
ON the table in Europe in recent years,
mainly, doubtless, because Of the insist
ence of the thousands Of Americans who
make Europe their summer playground.
Ice cream, too, you can get i'll most Of
the big cities, even in England. But 1t
usually lacks the main, indefinable quail
tiles that make it so attractive at home.
Europeans may talk about the inimitable
bouquet of their wines, but the bouquet
of American ice cream is beyond them.
This is not a matter of natural advan-
taees and facilities, as is claimed for the
wine and other things, for Switzerland
is full Of ice topped mountains, and her
valleys are filed with COWS.
A varied and recent experience with
the ice creams of Europe induces the
conclusion that only the ''sorbetto" one
gets on the Piazza of st. Marks i'll
Venice approaches the delicious perfec-
ton of the ordinary every day ice cream
Of America. Perhaps this is because the
Venetians themselves eat ice cream,
whereas in most other European cities
it is regarded as an outlandish concoc-
ton, prepared only for the peculiar pal
ate Of the stranger. 1t is a far cry and a
strange one, from st. Mark to Madison
square, but the delighted exclamation Of
a group of American girls, ordering ice
cream there as they had done all the
way down from London, "Ah, this is
something ikel" covered the distance
in no time. New York Sun.

ALPHoNsE DAuDET.

Alphonse Daudet thus describes his

slowly, very slowly, and revise and re-
wise. l am never satisfied with my work.
NV novels I always write myself. new
or could dictate novel AS to my plays,
1 used formerly to dictate them. l had
a certain talent in my legs, just as Ma
poleon had certain genius in the legs
of his soldiers. My books go through
many processes. To begin with, I fill my
notebooks. Each note as it is used is
scratched out in blue or red pencil.
From these written notes and the tablets
of my memory-'the deltoi Of my mem
ory'-I write out in copybooks the first
copy of my novel
at write this first copy on alternate
pages of my copybooks, and leave the
opposite sheet blank. When the book is
finished in its rough state, I rewrite it
page by page on the blank sheets. The
page on the right is the amended copy
Of the page on the left. Then my wife
looks at this second copy and suggests
to me what improvements might be
made. note these down.
"Then Irewrite the whole book again
with the joy of a schoolboy who feels
that a wearisome task is ended. So that,
apart from my notes, write each man
uscript three times over, and if 1 could
do so would write it as many times
more, for, as I have said, 1 am never
satisfied with my work. But I am very
irregular in my way Of working. Some
times 1 work IS hours a day, and day

is done by humming again and again,

The bluebirds, yellow birds and black
birds seem to have disappeared from
western New York this year Reports
from careful ornithologists in many
counties show that these birds have not
appeared this spring as usual Walter
Burke of Batavia writes: Where are
the blackbirds? These birds in past
years congregated in large numbers in a
little grove near my residence and filed
the air with their melodious singing,
but now it is all hushed and still "
The Livingston Republican says
1.-THE absence Of bluebirds has been
commented on by several papers, and,
come to think of it, we haven't noticed
any bluebirds or yellow birds either,
but the orioles are flashing through the
foliage in considerable numbers and &C.

4 BUSINESS ROMANCE.
It Is the True story of the Rise Of Hum
Bile Young Man.


BILE Young Man.
A young man who was working as
clerk in an importing house had occa-
sion frequently in the course Of business
to call at certain large manufacturing
establishment. The head o ehe concern
tc.s}x a fancy to him. One " he asked
the Young man what salary ne was get
ting. what his chances q. promotion

said to the young man that he thought
there was better opportunity for him
in his office than in the house where he
was then employed
The Young man replied that he should
of course like to better himself but
that his engagement would not permit
him to leave for some time to come.
The head of the house said he thought
he might induce his employer to let
him 20. He accordingly wrote note to
the senior partner OF the Importing
house. with whom he was ON intimate
terms. saving that he had formed lik-
ing for the Young man, that he believed
there was better opening for him in
his Office and asking that he be released.
The next day the young man came back
with letter in which his employer,
while expressing regret at losing his
services, said that he recognized the
larger opportunity offered him, and, as
he didn't want to stand in his way, re-
leased him. The clerk went to work IN
his new position and so confirmed his
employers good impressions that his
promotion was rapid He went from one
responsible position to another until he
was next to the manager Of the house.
A short time ago the manager died, and
tour hero, now no longer a young
man of course, but still in the prime OF
life took his place at a salary very
nearly if not quite as large as that OF
