boats were two and three deep at that
wharf. and some of them had to wait
n day or two for room TO unload And
II was a common case for a boat to
bring in 200 passengers, and on the
levee trucks were thicker than street
cars on Fountain square. / reckon the

And the big boat stores were thick all

old English Music.

Long before the stream of Norman minstrel art sacred music was exercis- ing a beneficial influence. The early British church possessed sacred music, but this was gradually driven out before the onward march of that new church music which Augustine brought with him from Rome GA. D. 597). The Gre gorian music (evolved by Pope Gregory out of the Greek tetrachCrds and some existing Ambrosian chants) was heard and loved wherever Augustine and his monks built church. By its means a deep impression was left upon the minds of those who heard and joined i'll 1t, but it is curious that we miss altogether the ecclesiastical flavor in the earliest ex amples that have come down to us of English music during tke first quarter of the thirteenth century.
 The free and uncontrolled secular mu- sic was the first to reflsct itself in per manent manuscript form. Church music per SC was not progressive; the church tones for the "Service" and "mass" mu- sic were fixed, and only heretical of fense was the outcome of tampering herewith, but no such restrictions ham, pered secular music. - BlaCkwood' s Magazine.

NIAGARA FALLS AMBITIOUS.
Steps Taken to Provide 8 Harbor For
 Deep Vessels.

A bill has been prepared at the sug- gestion of the Niagara Falls chamber of commerce, which will be presented to the New York legislature, providing for the amendment of the city charter so that the city can bond itself for $10O, 900 to build docks, wharfs, slips, piers and basins and retain title in the property thus acquired. It provides that the name of the port be changed from that of "the port of Suspension Bridge" to "the port of Niagara Falls. ' Plans and surveys have been made. Owing to the fact that three basins can be provid- ed for harbor, with dock and wharf frontage of about five miles, the United States government will be asked to make an appropriation large enough to deepen the channel thereabout so that the heaviest draft lake steamers can go to the docks.
 Elevators for grain, coal trestles and lumber docks will be constructed and a bid made for the traffic in the products in addition to ore and other freight.

Dinner Wines.

In serving wines with course dinner sherry should be served with soup. With the fish chablis or sauterne is nearly al- ways served, and with entrees have claret. Champagne, hook or moselle comes with the roast. Port wine is us- ually served with the cheese course and burgundy with the dessert. Serve red wines at the same temperature as the room. White wines should be slightly chilled, but never put ice into wine.
 Do not fill glass to the top. Serve the least celebrated wines at the commence ment of dinner, reserving for the last the choicest vintages. New York Sun.

THE BICYCLE OUTPUT.
This Years Production Expected to Ex-
 ceed by Far That of 1895.

This Years Production Expected to Ex-
 ceed by Far That of 1895.
 It is expected that the output of bi- cycles in this country for 1896 will far exceed that of 1895. It is said that American manufacturers are prepared to produce this year, if they can get, when they need them, sufficient supplies of steel tubing and other material, 800,- 900 bicycles The output last year was, approximately, 450,O bicycles. It is thought that the actual production this year will reach $50, 900. It is more like ly to exceed that number.
 Few wheels are imported, not enough to cut any figure here. Our exports are still not great. American manufacturers have been too busy supplying the home demand to make much effort to supply other markets, but they continue to in- crease. We are selling more bicycles in Mexico and more in South America, principally in the Argentine Republic. Our exports to Europe are also increas- ing. the greater number going to France and Belgium, though We sell some wheels in other continental countries and in Great Britain. In Paris enough American bicycles are now sold to make them a factor in the trade.-New York Sun.

PRESIDENTIAL HATS.
Why Is It That They Are Always So Shab-
 by and Worn?


 Why is it that all presidents seem to wear the shabbiest of silk hats? Presi- dent Cleveland and Mrs. Cleveland were driving in Sixteenth street in Washing ton on Sunday afternoon last, and the presidents hat was all that could be de- sired for St. Patrick's day parade. It was rumpled and dusty and of an an- cient block.
 This singularity in the matter of silk hats prevailed with Grant, Garfield, Arthur and Harrison. It was especially marked ill Arthur, who was the pink of perfection and fashion in his dress.
 The only possible excuse for it is that a president, and for that matter cabi- net offcer-but especially the president --is expected while in Washington and elsewhere when he appears as presi- dent to wear a silk hat. It is in con- stant use. It is worn all day and on all outdoor occasions. It would require half a dozen new silk hats a week for pres ident to appear constantly in shiny and glossy headgear New York Sun.

CONSUMPTION CURED.
An Elixir of Life.
T. A. Slocum Offers to Send Two Bottles Free of His Remedy to Cure Con-
 sumption and all Lung
Troubles.


 Troubles.
 Nothing could be fairer, more philan- thropic or carry more joy in its wake than the offer of T. A. Slocum, NJ. o., of 1S3 Pearl Street, New York. Perfectly confi- dent that he has an absolute remedy for the cure Ot consumption and all pulmonary complaints, he offers through this paper to send two bottles free to any reader who is suffering from lung trouble or consump- ton, also loss of flesh and all conditions of wasting. He invites those desirous of ob- taining this remedy to send their express and pOst-office address, and to receive in return the two bottles free, which will arrest the approach of death. Already this rem- edy, by its timely use, has permanently cured thousands of cases which were given up, and death was looked upon as an early visitor.
 Knowing his remedy as he does, and being so proof-pnSiIive of its benefcent re- suits, Dr. SlOcum considers it his religious duty, duty which he owes to humanity, to donate his infallible remedy where it will assault the enemy in it's citadel, and, by its inherent potency, stay the current of dIsso- lution, bringing joy to homes over which the shadow of the grave has been gradually growing more strongly defined, causing fond hearts to grieve. The cheapness of the remedy-ofered freely-apart from it's in- herent strength, is enough to commend it. and more so is the perfect confidence of the great chemist making the offer, who holds out life to those already becoming ema- clated, and says: Be cured"
 The invitation is certainly worthy of the consideration of the afflicted, who, fol years, have been taking nauseous nostrums without effect; who have ostracised them selves from home and friends to live in more salubrious climes, where the atmos- phere is more congenial to weak ened lungs, and who have fought against death with ali the weapons and strength iE their hands. There will be no mistake in sending for these free bottles-the mistake will be in passing the invitation by.

4 QUEER FREAK.
A Sheep That Was Born With Its Head
 Upside Down.

A Sheep That Was Born With Its Head
 Upside Down.
 An interesting freak of nature which has engaged the attention of most prom inent veterinary surgeons of Philadel- phia is the property of Messrs. Weldy 6, Hingley. It is sheep perfectly sound in every respect except that the head is ouriously twisted out of its normal po- sition, being turned completely upside down, the crown resting upon the ami. malls breast. The freak, which answers to the name of Twist, was recently i'm ported by the present owners from Nova Scotia after great display of red tape on the part of customs officials.
 Twist is twin, and be and his mate were both born with this curious mal- formation eight months ago. The mate died, but Twist was reared on the bottle by the children of the sheep farmer. Now he feeds himself, but he can eat his food only from the ground, and he has to push his head down between his fore legs to do it. He can't lift his head above his breast at all Dr. s. J. J. Harger of the veterinary department of the University of Pennsylvania was much interested in the animal, and as soon as the weather grows warm enough to permit the shearing of the thick wool which covers the sheep he will lecture upon the case.

NEW WOMAN IN LITERATURE.
Jeannette Glider Gives Her Ideas Concern
 ing the Talked of Creature.

ing the Talked of Creature.
 The new woman of the novelist is merely one of Dr. Max Nordau's degen- crates. She is the creation of writer who is hysterical and degenerate, and the world takes her as something that really exists. To be sure, there arc plenty of women with "pasts" and with "yearnings. and there always have been and probably always will be, but doubt if any woman outside of an insane asylum talks the rubbish about spiritual impacts, tells that five are tones of one chord" and about the "vile slavery" of marriage, as do the women of Miss Rendered and Mir. Grant Allen. Writers of this sort do not represent the women of the day any more than the painted women of the streets represent the wom- en of good society.
 The jaundiced writers of "The Yel- low Book" cannot be expected to give us pictures of healthy lives. Their tastes run to worm eaten fruit. They have no liking for that which is red with the hue of health. They prefer the yellow hue of decay. Dr. Nordau is quite right when he calls it disease. The heroines of ''The Yellow Book" of "Discords'' and of "Wreckage" might have been taken from Lombroso's study of the fe- male offender. If they exist outside of their creators brains, their cases will be found recorded in scientific studies of criminology or in the ordinary police re- ports.
 The new woman as find her outside of the pages of fiction is an industrious, healthy minded, healthy bodied young person, with certain amount of inde pendence, who cares more for out of door sports than for indoor follies, and who if she has work to do does it and does not waste her time in telling about it. Her spirits run high over the adventures of "A Gentleman of France, she laughs and cries by turns over "Trilby" and thinks "The Dolly Dialogues" great fun, but for "Yellow Discords' and the like she has no use.
 I am happy to say that little of the hysterical literature of the day originates in this country. It is almost entirely of English origin. Some of our younger writers have tried their hands at it, but they do not take to it naturally, and it is fast going out of fashion.
 There always will be a handful of people who like erotica, but I think there has been turn in the tide which even at its highest never swamped the writers of purer fiction. Rudyard Kip ling and Mrs. Humphry Ward have many more readers than Grant Allen and Mary l.. Rendered, and in this country our writers of clean fiction are the most popular. Glider.
