Some riders are always in danger; would be
il they were on fine, dry road all alone
But the careful rider, who rides in AZ
straight line as possible, need not fear the
wet pavements particularly. Sudden curves
are to be avoided, OF course. The muddy
pavement is the one in which danger Turks
for all wheelmen. 1t is hest not to ride on
1t. But If one must do SO, particular eau
ton is necessary to escape painful, If not
dangerous, injuries. A slight slipping of
the rear wheel need cause no alarm, but a

NEW RAYS.


viii men still say the light is good
When nothing lies from IL concealedf
When, thrown on living flesh and blood,
1t shows "A skeleton revealedY
We aye have loved the softened rays
Which will not let us see too much,
But wrap. as in kindly haze,
The things that shrink from human touch.
We hide our skeletons away
When they have played their living part
And shut them from the light OF day
Within the twilight Of the heart
And all the wrongs that shock and shame
Our tender feelings or our pride
The sullied honor, furnished name
In dim forgetfulness we hide.
But now we dread lest some fierce beam
More strong than our resistance prove
And make US look where only seem
Unlovely relics of our love.
And yet ii may be we were wise
To welcome each new ray of light
And face with frank, courageous eyes
What now we bury out of sight.
IT'S not, perchance, true self control
Nor any part of charity
To shut the windows of the soul
'Gainst all we do not choose to see.
New light which shines ON earth may tell
How brighter rays which shine above
Can touch the lowest depths of hell,
Yet touch with tender tints of love.

New York Signs.

If statistics of illustrative signs should
be taken in New York, it is probable that
the one found to predominant would be
that showing some kind of a representation
of the human tooth. They are to be seen
everywhere and in all sizes and conditions.
Usually the favorite method of advertising
in this way seems to be with gilt tooth
in varying degrees of magnitude. Some
times they are placed firmly in position,
sometimes they sway in the breeze, and
again the fact that the tooth of the tooth
doctor Is American Is made plain by the
figure of n spread eagle, with the tooth
suspended in his bill A Fourteenth street
dentist has more unpleasant advertise
ment at the front entrance to his establish
ment in a small glass case half full of gen.
uine teeth, which presumably he has ex-
tracted. The sign of the automatic jaws
two sets of teeth, which are made to
open and shut apparently without rhyme
or reason before the public gaze-is I'M
pleasantly familiar. This sign has refer
ence TO the more mechanical work of den
tistry. But all these signs, which appear
to indicate that the people of the city were
interested in nothing so much as in having
their teeth extracted and replaced, are con-
tradicted by the best dentists OF the city,
though people, as a rule, associate den
lists Office with the unpleasant thought Of
having tooth pulled New York Times

Derivation of Phrases.

Next to Shakespeare we draw most pro-
fusely from King James version of the
Bible for terse expressions, Proverbs and
Ecclesiastes furnishing the larger proper
ton from the Old Testament and st.
Paul's epistles from the New. Milton,
though far behind these two great sources
of English speech, gives us more familiar
expressions than any other writer after
them. From him we have learned to speak
of "a dim religious light" of grim
death, ""a heaven on earth" and sanctity
Of reason" of adding fuel to the fame"
of tempering justice with mercy" of the
"busy hum of men, >" "the light fantastic
toe" chat boon to provincial reporters),
and the meat handed Phillis." Chaucer,
though rich in material for quotation, has
given us no pithy phrases, but from
Spenser, who sang of him as the well Of
English undefyled, - we get "nor rhyme
nor reason, +" "by hook or crooL = 'sweet
attractive grace and through thick and
thin. "-Chambers' Journal

POLlTENESS.
The British Article as Contrasted with
French and Spanish Samples.

The French have for long been esteemed
a polite nation, and so they are as far as
outward forms are considered, but most
travellers will agree that, except within
certain circles, there is more genuine cour-
tesy to be found between man and man in
Britain than in France. The average
Frenchman will be profuse in the bows
which he will make on meeting an ac-
quaintance, but he will often not hesitate,
should the occasion arise, to sacrifice 9th
ers to his own personal comfort. i have
seen foreigners at u public entertainment
make Indies rise by bowling to them and
then deprive them of their seats in the
most polite and graceful manner. An Eng
lishman, on the other hand, will often do
"a really kind hearted deed in such an
abrupt and awkward fashion as almost to
give 1t the appearance of an insult.
The Spaniard habitually places his house
and everything in it mt the disposal Of his
guest, but he would be greatly astonished
If he were taken ut his word. A stranger
calls upon Sraniard when he is at din
ner. The latter invites the stranger to
dine with him or offers him something
which he may have admired, but unless
the dinner or article is much pressed the
invitation and the offer must be regarded
In the light of mere polite phrases. Under
similar circumstances the Briton would
either not make the invitation or offer, CT,
If he did, would do all he could to render
the dinner or the gift acceptable to the
stranger and would endeavor to escape be-
ing thanked whereas the Spaniard expects
verbal gratitude for the offer he has no in
tention of fulfilling.
So far do we carry this dislike of phrase
making that some English men and wom-
en- find it very difficult to give expression
to the genuine gratitude they feel for real
benefits received, and there are some men
whose modesty is so perverted that they
would apparently almost rather be accused
of doing something positively wrong than
be suspected of having yielded to kindly
sentiment Nineteenth Century.

FLoRIDA,S EVERGLADES.
The Vast Dismal Waste No Terror to the
Seminole Indians.


The southern extremity Of the peninsula
of Florida Is one huge marsh of forest, mud
and jungle, known as the Everglades. The
swamp proper has an area OF about 5000
square miles, which Is drained by Lake
Okechobee, and it covers nearly the entire
counties Of Dade and Monroe and portion
of Manatee.
The geological substructure must be
coral, as nearly the entire state is built
upon such foundation, but above this the
Iniry hogs of ooze and water of unknown
depths forbid investigation and explora-
ton, and in consequence there are regions
In the interior no human foot has yet trod
and lagoons that no human eye has ever
seen.
The only human beings that can enter
the Everglades either in winter or summer
without fear of annoyance or disaster are
the Seminole Indians, who claim this vast,
dismal waste as their birthright. Mos
quitoes and reptiles have few terrors for
them, and as for the heat of midsummer
IL seems that the hotter ii gets the better
they like IL. There are about 500 of these
interesting natives left, who in bands of
from 40 to so have heretofore led a nomadic
life, living for the most part by hunting
and fishing, and in few cases cultivating
small patches of ground The bucks also
gain small income by killing and selling
plume birds, and the squaws by weav-
ing fancy basket and fern work from the
material so ready at hand.
These Indians live under the name Of
Seminoles, but have their own tribal
chief under n separate tribal name, such as
the Miamis, Tallahassees, Cow Creeks, Cy-
n
"a chief chosen annually at the green
corn dance, which is in reality the red
mans Christmas, or yearly season of jollity
and plenty.
The whole nation, however, acknowl-
edges the general sovereignty of Robert
Osceola, a grandson of the famous half
breed Powell, better known as Osceola.
They are clean people, both personally
and morally, and punish unchastity in
their women, whether married or single,
with death. A marriage between persons
having drop of the same blood in their
veins is considered highly improper, and as
there are not more than 500 all told, count
ing men, women and children a young
fellow matrimonially inclined has to do
some tall hustling TO get wife.

because all the eligible young men are akin
to them. So rigidly is this rule carried out
that you may sometimes see husband of
20 with a Cougar. old wife, or vice versa.
A half breed is unknown among them.
Hunters and sportsmen are gradually en-
croaching on their rights, and so the Semi
mole begins to nurture hatred for the
white man and isolates himself more and
more by retiring to the innermost fast
nesses of the Everglades, where he chooses
TO remain in hiding. New Orleans Times

Poetry and Civilization.

Macaulay's theory that, with the ad-
vance of civilization, poetry must inevita-
bly, decline is not quite true. He should
have said that it changes its character, but
this is because poetry has life for its sub
ject matter. Art is an expression of some
thing, and the greatest art has always CIV
EN- body and shape TO the genius of par
ticular race at certain point of its de-
velopment. To this Shakespeare and Ra-
cine are not exceptions. Shakespeare was
as highly civilized u man as Racine, but
he did not belong to "A race in whom the
social instincts are so strong as in the
French.
1t is the social genius which has given
Attic prose to the world, and by the great
examples of Athens and Paris we see how
averse it is to high color. Above all things
1t loves sobriety, and both in prose and
verse demands simplicity and ease, grace
and quickness of motion. Shakespeare
finds expression for the brooding magma
ton of his race, and he takes the whole of
life for his province. Racine, on the other
hand has not universal sympathies, nor
does nature with her beauties and her mys-
teries appeal to him. He is an aristocrat
in literature. His appeal is made, not
alike to palace, market place and howell,
but to the drawing room, and to that
alone. 1t is no doubt artificial, as all lit
erary language must be, but 1t is artificial
in noble sense.
The free life of man amid unconvention-
al surroundings other literatures do in
part give us, but not the classical litera-
ture of France. Here the tone is given
by the drawing room. Nor need we regret
it, for the drawing room, or its equivalent,
is as near as possible to the center of civil
lization. Macmillan Magazi o.

THE RAILWAY MANIA.
How 1t Caused "a Social Upheaval In Eng
land In 1886.

land In 1886.
In 1886 bullion was piled high in the
Bank of England, and the rate of interest
was very low. Home railways, which had
proved profitable investment, became the
arena of frantic speculation. Much non
sense was written as to their dividend
yielding capacity. They were infallibly to
become 1.-THE permanent deposit of all the
surplus wealth of the country" Credulous
people believed the fiction. There was only
one road to affluence-the railway track.
In 1886 investors were hoodwinked by
this story. Railway streets, with carriages
overhead and passengers beneath, were
prophesied in London. At Greenwich there
was proposal to tunnel the park and
adorn the line with marble arches. In the
country trains were to run with atmos-
pheric pressure as "a motive power or to be
driven before the wind with sails. One
genius was prepared, with the help OF
rockets, to impel the locomotive at the rate
of 100 miles an hour. The possibilities Of
railway progress and profit were illimita-
BILE on paper and on the glib tongue OF
promoter and operator; thousands of folk
risked their money; the inevitable crash
followed, and many were crippled.
The sharp lesson was, however, soon for
ROIIeU. III lofO-O lllc ltNtT VI railway
speculation throbbcd worse than ever In
September, 1915, no fewer than 40 new
lines had been registered, ard the crowd,
surging with avarice, bought and sold
shares madly. Promoters, surveyors, en-
gineers, barristers, printers and newspaper
proprietors raked in the shekels. Nearly
a100, 600 per week was paid in advertise
ments alone. The lordly-name- on pro-
spectus dodge was worked without con-
science, and deception took advantage OF
greed.
No man was too poor to hold stock. No
man was too rich to plunge on big lots and
imperil his all. The itinerant hawker,
footman, artisan, clerk, banker, physician,
clergyman, member of parliament and
peer haunted broker and watched the mar
ket, like cats on the spring, for gain by
purchase, sale or chicanery. The obscure
became rich and were courted. Thacke-
rays amusing sketch of 'Jeames De La
Pluche' gives vivid picture of the strange
