Do Bicycles Lessen Marriages.

Pianos are now at discount, and
it is amusing to note In the papers de-
voting their columns largely to the
interests of those who indulge in ex-
change and barter that nice piano
can be secured in return for a good
lady's bicycle. One thing which,
think, WI i'll in time initiate against the
continued use of cycles by women is
that they are bad things for love and
courtship. Lawn tennis and dancing
parties give much better opportuni-
ties for manageable daughters to find
husbands, but under the most jcvial of
conditions cycling claims such close
and undertaking attention that young
men can find very little time to spare
for their female companions-at any
rate, while upon their steel steeds.
When this comes to be recognized,
shares in bicycle companies will find
the ladies cycle drug ii the mar
ket and pianos will 60 up.-St. Paul's.

Making Fog tOlProtect Orange Trees.

The newest method of protecting
orange orchards against frosts, con-
sists in creating an artificial fog, which
overhangs the trees and keeps them
from harm. 1t is fact familiar
enough, that there is no danger from
frost on q cloudy night; the clouds
prevent the rapid radiation Of heat
from the earth and thus serve as a
sort of blanket. A fog, which is On
earth cloud, serves the same purpose.
The orange growers of California
have found out way of making fogs
by art1fice. They can create them at
any time within a few minutes. If
the night starts in clear and cold, with
prospects of frost, the fog-making
machines are turned on, and very soon
the orchard is enshrouded in a thick
mist. Thus protected, the trees can
defy even severe frost, which under
ordinary circumstances would destroy
all expectation Of a crop of the yellow
and juicy fruit.
The orchard provided with the fog.
making device is underlaid by sys-
tenn of small pipes that carry water.
Connecte with these are perpendicular
pipes which rise to height of forty
feet in the air. There are one hundred
of these perpendicular pipes in every
ten acres of trees. At the top of each
tall pipe are couple of "cyclone
nozzles," which discharge the water
in fine spray in an upward direction.
All that is required is that the water
shall be turned on, and the air IS
charged with a fine, fog-like mist.
All the underground pipes in the
orchard unite in one common supply
pipe, which passes through the house
of the Waterman in charge. At any
time when the temperature sinks to
freezing point, the Waterman by open
ing the cock of the supply pipe can
at once turn on the water to all the
pipes and spray nozzles. The result
is thick fog, thrown by one hun.
dred cyclone nozzles over the entire
ten acres The mist soon fills the air
to height of forty-fve feet, and any
breeze drifts it about like bank OF
fog.
In connection with the apparatus is
an alarm thermometer. When the
temperature in the orchard falls to
thirty-two degrees, an electric circuit
is completed and an alarm wakes up
the watchman. Without delay he
turns on the fog, and then goes to bed
satisfied that the orchard is safe. New
York journal.

He Picks I'D Pins.

A well-dressed man walking along

stopped and stopped down. Two men

s1've got it," he said with trium-
plant smile.
And he held aloft pin.
':Seems silly, doesn't it," he re-
marked to one of the men behind him,
as they fell into step. s'But I've
picked up pins ever since I was boy.
If I saw pin and didn't picked it up,
felt uncomfortable for hours. Do I
believe in the old rhyme? You mean
about picking it up and having good
luck? Well, no; I can't say that do.
The only disaster I can remember in
connection with a pin that I happened
to pass by didn't prove anything. My
neighhor's wife eloped with the coach
man the same day, that's all. But
really and truly, the queer old super
stition once saved my life. It was in
New Orleans not long after the war
and street rows were common. [ was
passing up the street one morning and
right in front Of bank building, close
up to the big plate glass window, I
saw pin on the sidewalk. | stopped
suddenly to get it and the same instant
heard a sharp explosion and a queer
little crash and there exactly opposite
where my head would have been if
didn't stopped, was a splintered hole
in the plate glass window, made by a
rifle bullet. [ got the pin just the
same and then Jumped for the nearest
stairway. Since that happy escape I
have picked up pins with an almost
religious fervor. Ha, there's one now.'

Queer Means OF Identification

Captain John T. Parker, an old
sailor, presented check on Phila-
delphia bank recently for payment.
The teller didn't know him and re.
fused to pay the check unless he had
some one to indemnity him. No one
was near whom arker knew, and the
teller asked him if he hadn't anything
about his person that would identify
him. Parker thought little while !;
then pushed up his sleeve and barred
him arm to the bank officer. Above
the elbow there was tatooted in India
ink his name in full John II. Parker,
GOOD enough for me, said the teller,
and he immediately handed cut the

DRESS FOR THE NECK.

9okes, fichus and neck frills still
play an important part in the fashion
drama. Square and rounded Jokes are
very elaborate, exhibiting lovely COM
binations Of lace insertion and edgings
of various makes of lace and lisse COM
binations, these in some cases set off
by dainty bows and rosettes Of ribbon.
Fichus Of the Marie Antoinette class
are much in evidence and small shawl
shapes Of fine black net with lace edges
in ivory, cream and white on the black
ground, this being one Of the latest in
ventions in lace, are caught into ar
tistic fichu draperies by means of arts
tic bows and ends Of satin ribbon. Lace
and lisse ruffs for the throat are numer-
GUS and attra ctive, and black with a re-
lief of cream, ivory or heliotrope in the
way of ribbon, is very much in vogue.
Huge lace draperies for bodice garni-
ture of the Renaissance order are much
in evidence, and lace garnitures of
many classes are picked out and be-
decked by additions of jewel stones
and sequins. Bands of jewel stones,
sequins and the like are frequently
seen intersecting yokes, neck puffs, and
vest frontages, and these form a most
pleasing change. Silk vest frontages
are feature, and are both plain and
full. These are much bedecked with
lace of all classes, and exhibit paste
buckles and brooches to catch the lace
in position on the collars. Sequin and
jewelled bands are also seen intersect-
ing the frontages and as centers or top
or base garnitures on the collars prop

The Natives Were Puzzled.

During the Chitral campaign Sir Rob
ert Low attempted to stretch telegraph
wires over the country. The natives
objected as they thought the wires
were intended to divide the country for
the soldiers when told that messages
were to be sent on the wires they
agreed to guard them. They watched
for the messages until they were tired,
and as they had not seen any they cut
a section Of the wire out and took it to
their camp, where they could observe
il with more comfort.

100000 in 1896. In 1872 the debts Of
European countries amounted to "a
$4,000, and in 1896 the figure was &C.,
eco, 100000 ($3O,OOO,OOO).
