A Glorious Ieain.

The hot and humid atmosphere of the last two weeks was greatly re- lieved Sunday afternoon about 445 o'clock by brief but refreshing rain. The clouds thundered and the light hing hurled it's lurid bolts across the sky for fully an half hour before the rain came in drenching form. But it did not last long. The shower was of about twenty minutes duration, after which the clouds passed away and the sun came out again. But the dust was settled and the atmos- phere cooled and clarified, and alto- gether the little rain that fell was very refreshing. Now, if Jupiter Pluvius will visit LIS again and deal out about ten times as much of the liquid element as he did yesterday, all will be well.

A BIG SWoRDFISH.
A Giant of the Species and Dwarf-Lob-
 sters In Great Demand.

sters In Great Demand.
 Captain Lorenzo B. Chipman of the sloop Admiral has captured and brought to New London, Conn. one of the big gest swordfish ever taken. The fish weighed little less than 500 pounds, and the oldest skipper could not recall 8 catch to beat it. The fish was exceed ingly game and gave it's captors fight before it was landed on deck The op- posite extreme in swordfsh specimens was presented by one caught off Block island. It measured only eight feet sword and all, and tipped the scales at 78 pounds The average weight of the fish captured is 400 pounds
 Perhaps the largest shipment of lob sters recorded on the coast was made the other day, when 18,000 pounds were sent out to shore resorts along the coast, and all the orders were not filled then, as the supply was exhausted Several New York houses had sent orders which could not be filed Holsters are in great demand, and the supply is not adequate to fill it. Live Holsters are shipped from New London hundreds of miles away. First large cake of ice is put into a barrel and then the fish are placed around it on all sides, filling the barrel to the top. Over all is nailed jute or some coarse material to admit air The Holsters are then expressed to Chicago if desired. New York Sun.

Three Prominent Local Resorts and
 Mineral Springs.

Armstrong Springs, Searcy Springs and Sugar Loaf Mountain in White county. Arkansas, arereached by the Iron Mountain Route, via Kensett. The waters of Searcy Springs are strongly impregnated with sulphur and iron. Hotel ac- commodations are good, Arm- strong Springs are situated a few miles west of Searcy and it's waters are unusually valuable on account of n large quantity of lithia they contain; being especially adapted to the cure of indigestion, insomnia, nervousness, kidney and bladder trouble, etc. The accommodations of the hotel and surrounding cot tages are tbe best and there are nu- mefops attractions to pass away the time. Sugar Loaf Mountain has several springs of unusually spark ling water of a similar nature to the water at Armstrong and Searcy Springs. The Iron Mountain Route offers reduced rates to these points. and by addressing the Springs di- rect, or any ticket agent of the above line, yon will be furnished with a descriptive pamphlet or cir culars giving full information.

BICYCLING ON A SHIP.
scoRcHlNG ON A WHAleBAcK IS
 THE LATEST FAD.

4 Track Has Been Built on the Steamer
 Christopher Columbus, Plying Between
 Chicago and ATiiwaukee-Raees to Be Run on Board the Vessel.
 A bicycle track on board ship is the latest There is but one, and it is on the deck of the mammoth whaleback steamer Christopher Columbus, which plies between Chicago and Milwaukee. There will be others, as the unique plan of willing away the monotony of yoy- age has met with such popularity on Lake Michigan that the Atlantic liners will no doubt be called upon to make suitable arrangements for the daily spin of their passengers who are given to cy- cling.
 The up to date tourist never thinks of leaving the shores of America for for eign lands without taking along the nickel plated steel steed which is the central figure of the hour on land de- voted to recreation.
 The wheel is taken to the stateroom,
 
 it to be stored in the hold or trust it to the tender mercies of the porters. On fair days, when the sailing is smooth, the promenade deck of such mammoth ocean greyhounds as the Paris, New York, St. Paul, Campania or Majestic will present the general appearance of q l fashionable cycling academy. The Yale | ta %hn f1 England, converted the promenade deck of the Berlin into cycling path, and l took their daily spin of go miles as part of the training which their coach, Bob Cook, never allowed them to relax.
 The whaleback steamer at Chiea- l go is one of the mammoth vessels con- structed for service between Chicago and Jackson park during the Worlds l fair. The track, which is on the lower deck, is constructed especially for rac- ing purposes, with high banked turns. 1 It is one-ffteenth of mile ill cireum- ference.
 The trip from Chicago to Milwaukee is made in four hours. Half of that time is given over to cyclists who merely want to enjoy quiet spin. The re- mainder is given over to the racing men. Souvenirs and trophies are offered l to interest the amateurs from time to time, and the summer programme con templates contests between professionals for valuable cash prizes. A small fee is charged for the use of the track, which defrays the expense of the trophies and prizes put up.
 There is cycling track built along side the railroad track for 15 miles out of Toronto, and trains run slowly for the benefit of cyclists who may desire to mount or dismeunt, to exchange railroad for cycle path, or vice versa. The op- portunities for good cycling on ship board are good, and before long the stewards on the liners will be picking up few additional coins in the renting of machines, and competent instructors for beginners will be aboard each vessel, and the inexperienced will take daily road" or 'tdeek lessons. while a bicy- ele repair shop will be opened up below.

oREGoN'S MlsHAP.
The Big Battleship Is Too Deep to Get
 Into the Mare Island Dock.

.
 Into the Mare Island Dock.
 A serious mishap may be said to have overtaken the battleship Oregon. It is now found that the draft of that vessel will not enable the officers to take it to the Mare island navy yard The ship is at present ill San Francisco harbor, where it was launched at the yard of the Union Iron works. The approach to the Mare island yard is somewhat im- peded by rocks which are sufficiently near the surface to prevent ship of the Oregon's draft from making the passage in absolute safety.
 There is but one remedy if the vessel Is ever to be taken to the yard, and that is to do some expensive dredging and submarine blasting. The serious feature of the circumstance is that the drydock is located at the yard, and the Oregon cannot now be docked without being taken to Port Orchard. on Puget sound. This means long trip up the Pacific coast. Philadelphia Press.

There is no royal road TO success. like

The ascent Of the mountain il tedious
