puRvJc SCHOOL DAY.

There is a movement that has about taken definite shape to have the children of the Birmingham public schools, to- gether with their teachers and parents, as many as can possibly So so. attend the Atlanta exposition. The board of education have authorized holiday for Friday after Thanksgiving. bringing two days together, which will enable the children to leave Wednesday evening and have two and half days and over at the xposition-returning Saturday af- ternoon. There is no doubting the value of this exposition to young and expand ing minds. It presents an object lesson that will convey more to them than years of study could do without 1t. So that this exposition may be really the occasion of a lifetime to gain valuable and useful information.
 The teachers also will obtain impress sions that will greatly aid them in their work, so that the trip should not be re- garded purely as one of pleasure or amusement. but rather as field of ob- servation and instruction that words cannot too highly indorse.
 Then many parents desire to see the exposition, and they can go along with the children to look after their comfort. and at the same time take in the cxposi tion The teachers can furnish each child in the schools close estimate as to the cost of the trip, and request such as decide on going to let them know at once, so that arrangements can be completed. There is yet another view of this that is valuable to the city at large. Each member of this party, whether parents. teachers or children, should have badge labeled Birmingham Public Schools" That would serve to advertise Birming- ham, There has been much unfavora ole comment by northern papers on the lack of patronage for the exposition from the southern people, and Alabama has been strongly amiss in this regard. She has admittedly the best state exhibit on the grounds. It Is more typical of Ala hamas wonderful resources than that of any other exhibit, and is receiving un- bounded attention from visitors, but cur own people are neglecting it. The action of Birmingham will correct this, and at least place our city in line with Atlanta for favorable returns. Let there be a re- ception at the Alabama building by Bir- mingham's school children for all the world who may be on the grounds that day with some patriotic speaking, and the trip will more than repay the outlay, m matter how it is regarded.

A few days ago the New Orleans Pica- yune printed a communication from Rev. Dr. H. H. Waters of St. Pauls Episcopal church, championing the letter carriers in their complaints of the treatment they receive from citizens. Dr. Waters, who is one of the most humane men in the world, takes the side of the working men The good doctor said:
 'Tt is simply outrageous that men should be forced to wait at perhaps 200 houses in q day, often for a whole min ute and sometimes longer. till some one appears to receive the mail. all because of the seIfishness and carelessness of those wh will not take the trouble or spend the trif1ing sum necessary to pro-

The address of Secretary Carlisle be- fore the New York chamber of commerce did not create a furore of enthusiastic commendation in Washington. It is presumed to foreshadow some parts of his forthcoming report to congress, and it's expressions indicate a desire on the part of the administration to assist in the specialization of public sentiment on the subject of retiring the greenbacks, so that at an early day in the session congress may receive, through the press, something in the nature of instructions from the people Secretary Carlisle very wildly describes the financial evils Gas he sees them) from which the country is suffering, but he utterly fails to suggest any remedy for them. He has long been known to be opposed to the greenbacks, but he does not state what he would have substituted for that currency
 Alluding to this address of the secre- tary Senator Sherman says:
 "The great mistake was in the way from the people. Secretary Carlisle very pered with the gold reserve. It should have issued short term bonds of five years duration, which the people here would have taken up quickly at 3 per cent, and with this paid the expenses of the government instead of trenching on the gold reserve. These short bonds would, of course have been paid for in legal tender notes. Instead of doing this the administration had permitted do- nestle and foreign bankers to clear $11,- 000,0 900 by selling the bonds for gold at 4 per cent. Carlisle's plan proposed last night was impracticable. There are 5000 national banks and it would not Slo, in order to have currency, to take the gold out of the United States treasury and scatter it around in these banks to re- deem money that had been issued by these banks"

Apropos of visit Sunday of the bishop of Montana to Baltimore, the Sun of that city says inter alia: Bishop Brewers ter ritory in Montana includes over 1000 square miles of mountain and valleys In the heart of the Rockies. When he took charge of the jurisdiction, fifteen years ago, two railroads were just enter ing the state, and travel was restricted mainly to stage coaches or horses. Now 5000 miles of railway lines are within the state Butte. the greatest mining camp in the world. then contained about 400O inliabitants. while 1t now has 25.00O. The Anacofda company, with headquarters at Butte, sends the principal output of about $500 tons of matte a day to the Baltimore Copper Refining and Rolling company. at Canton. When he first went to the western country Bishop Brewer had many frontier experiences. While preaching In a mining camp he was once shot at by minor. who was crazed with liuuor The man was passing the hall and when he learned the nature of the services he drew. his revolver to have a shot at the preacher. His friends struck down his arm, and Bishop Brewer did not know until afterward that the shot he heard during his services was meant for him.

In no less than six states constitutional amendments have been passed or are now under consideration restricting the suffrage and withdrawing the electoral franchise from thousands who previous ly enjoyed It. Only two of these states. South Carolina and Louisiana. are south ern; the other four, which include Cal ifornia and Colorado. are on the other side of the line. They appreciate as much as the southern people tlo the nec- essity of restricting the franchise and conferring it upon those only who can use it properly. It will of course, be ad- mitted that in these states the question is in no respect a race one; 1t is a ques- ton of intelligence and good govern ment.

Only ten days ago the Advertiser stated that if Governor Oates would simply con- sent to-the use of his name for a second term he would have no opposition, and that for that reason he should hasten to consent Yesterday that paper said that there had never been chance to avoid contest; that it would have been forced on Governor Oates had he stood for re- election. Believing that way. was the paper acting in good faith towards Gov ernor Oates ten days ago while seeking to make him believe that his consent to run would save the party a contest?

CLEANING a BICYoLE.-A ywhs ell
should be cleaned and oiled at least
once week. To clean the wheel, re-
move the lamp, place the wheel upside
down, resting on the saddle and handle
bar. which should rest on q cloth or
piece Of cid carpet to prevent it being
marred. Remove the dust from the
wheel with dry brush. If the rims
and frames are muddy, use wei cloth;
q small brush will be found useful in
cleaning the sand or mud from the hub
and sprocket wheel. If the enamel OF
the frame appears streaked after wash,
ing off the mud, it should be rubbed
with dry cloth or piece of chamois
skin, Do not use oily rags on the
enameled parts, nyphe spokes should
be cleaned with cloth. Every month
the chain should be removed and soak
ed in turpentine, followed by kerosene
oil or in kerosene oil alone. The
sprocket wheels should be thoroughly
cleaned before replacing the, chain.
There are number OF chain lubricators
on the market, including mica lu-
bricator, which will not soil the hands
or clothes. Many wheelmen lubricate
their chains with semi-fuid prepara-
ton of plumbago and the solid graphite
as well; only small quantity of lubrl-
can't is required. After the bicycle is
cleaned it should be thoroughly oiled
and the bearings should be examined
and frightened, if necessary. When
the bicycle is put up for the winter 1T
should not be allowed to stand on the
floor. It should be hung up with the
tires partially inflated; this will tend to
preserve the tires.-Scieatitsc Americaa,.
