The Bicycle Girl.

Any one who sees pretty girl with
glowing cheeks and eyes sparkling
with pleasure, pedaling briskly through
the woods in Druid Hill Park, happy
herself and cause Of happiness to the
onlooker, perceives at once that the
wheel has opened a new world TO
woman. She is at length able to come
and go, unattended, within vastly Wild
er limits than ever before. She may
traverse the woods and feel the charm
of solitude. Conventionality is laid
aside. Climbing weary hill, she feels
a new touch of nature in the muscular
struggle that feat involves. Coasting
down lone incline, she experiences
that delight of violent and swift motion
attended with danger, of which horrid
man has till now had almost monop-
oily. A new position has been gained
for woman in athletics as we'll as es-
thetics. She, too, may now 90 forth
freely under an open sky, see nature at
first hand and feel the exquisite pleas
ure Of active muscular exercise. If
something is addad to her present hap
piness, that is gain. If the wider
scope of muscular activity afforded by
the wheel also increases her physical
well-being and makes stronger crea-
ture of her, that is a greater gain for
which coming generations will rise
up and bless the bike.-Baltimore

Importance of Small Industries.

AS an exchonge aptly remarks:
Great industries play an important
part in building up town but they
are not so valuable, neither will they
build up town so quickly or on so
solid basis as will smaller industries
The South has been badly injured by
the steady drain of its money to the
North rendered necessary by this Sec
ton not having manufacturing plants
ticles needed here and which we now
have to purchase from the outside.
The live go-ahead cities and towns
of the South have been made by the
establishment Of manufacturing enter
prises within their borders, and we find
that the places with a large number
of small factories are growing much
faster and are more prosperous than
those with few large ones.
Now the question is how to get fac
tories established in town? We will
answer; by cooperation of its live citi-
zens. No matter how many advan-
tages town or city may have, the
chances are against outside capital
coming to it without its citizens help to
bring it there. Capital is being inves-
ted in too many places in the South
for the men who possess it to have to
hunt up place to invest it. When
the advantage of so many places are
being kept before their eyes they natu-
rally think that the towns which keep
in the dark have nothing to recommend
them.

Trucking Interest of Eastern North
Carolina.

A recent issue of Harper's Weekly
contained readable article on the
trucking interests of Eastern North
Carolina. from which the following ex-
tract is taken:
In the busy seasons the railroads
run two trains daily, each train carry
ing from 5000 to 1900 boxes and
barrels while the steamers take from
10000 to 1000 of them a week. The
farms about Newborn and Elizabeth
City produce large quantities Of pota-
toes, two crops being grown annually.
According to a recent statement made
to the writer, the truck shipped from
Newbern last year amounted to 20
train loads, or about 24O, 900 boxes
and barrels, and 100000 packages by
steamer, the value of this truck is esti-
mated to have been about 81 900, 200.
From Wilmington to Goldsboro,
along the Wilmington and Weldon
railroad, almost every station is o
shipping point for strawberries and
truck. The most attention is paid to
strawberries, and many Of the growers
have been very successful. At Mount
Olive one truck farmer, who has about
seventy acres in cultivation, thirty
three being strawberries, told me that
two years ago his strawberry crop
brought 100000. He figured that his
net profits were not less than one-half
Of that, or $4,000. The shipments
here begin about the Goth Of April, and
last about a month.
