The Bicycle a Public BenefactOr.

Each day it grows palmer that we
must add the bicycle to the list of
humanity's great benefactors. AL
ready tens of thousands owe to it
health, strength and their first init
mate acquaintance with the outdoor
life. 1t has helped the farmer, who
foolishly despises it, by advancing
the fight for the good roads. 1t has
filed the pockets of languishing
owners of country inns. 1t has
made the country boy and girl &C.
quainted with their brothers and
sisters from the city. It promises to
do away with the stupid fashion of
long trousers, to restore to mankind
the graceful knickerbockers of old.
1t promotes equality. It discourages
the separation of the people into hos
tile classes.
The bicycle is a democratic ma
chine, faithful servant, luxury
and a necessity, great and cheap. 1t
is a good doctor, a destroyer of the
blues. 1t deserves the monument
which it is building to itself in the
shape of a healthier, happier people.

A little unnecessary excitement
has been aroused lately by the dis
covery that some Birmingham metal
manufacturers have been making
idols to be worshiped by the heather
in India. They probably executed
orders for which they were we'll
paid, and it was hardly their bust
ness to stipulate that their wares
should be used for ornament only.
Besides, before we are too hard on
the heather we should remember
that if their idols of gold and silver
were melted down and sent to the
mint they would reappear disguised
as coin of the realm, and a good
many Christians would worship
them then Iron Age.

A COMMONPLACE LETTER.
1t seemed so little the thing you did,

1t seemed so little the thing you did
just to take the pen in your hand
And send the warm hearts greeting hid
Meath the common two cent stamp Of the
land.
But over the mountains and over the plain
And away DER the bilowy prairies went
The small square letter to soothe the pain
OF one who was fretted with discomfort
She was i'll and tired. The long hot day
Had worn itself to the merest shred.
The last of the light as it ebbed away
Fell on her patient needle and thread.
A shadow came flying across the space
Where the fading sunlight filtered through.
There was Just the CLEAN of sweet young
face,
And a voice said, Here is letter for you'll"
The quick tears blurred in a sudden mist,
But she brushed them away, and then she
smiled,
And you should have seen how she kissed and
kissed
The postmark's circlet like a child
Why, the name brought back the long ago,
When she dressed in her best Of afternoons
When she found it a pleasure to sit and sew
And her seams were hemmed to tripping
tunes.
Poverty. change and the drudgery
OF work that goes on without an end
Had fettered the heart that was light and free
Till she ID almost forgotten she had friend
The people at home so seldom write.
Her youth and its pleasures lie all behind.
She was thinking bitterly but last night
That out of sight is out of mind.
Now, here is your letter! The old hills break
Beyond these levels fiat and green
She thrills to the thrush as his flute notes wake
In the vesper hush of the woods serene.
She sits again in the little church
And lifts her voice in the choir once more
Or stoops for four leaved clover to search
In the grass that ripples up to the door.
1t was very little it meant for you,
An hour at best when the day was done,
But the words you sent rang sweet and true,
And they carried comfort and cheer to one
Who was needing to feel a clasping hand
And to hear the voices she used to hear,
And the little letter the breadth Of the land
Was the carrier dove that brought home near.
