FRANCE BICYCLE MAD.
Nearly Everybody Who Can Rides-Go
Onenins for American Wheela

Nearly Everybody Who Can Rides-Good
Opening for American Wheels.
France has gone bicycle mad, is the,
deduction to be drawn from report
received at the state department from
Walter T. Griffin, United States COM
mercial agent at Limoges. Since April,
1902, each bicycle is taxed ten francs
(S1.0O year, ind the number of ma
chimes in use in the republic can be
accurately gagged through the tax re-
turns. In 1892 the number of bicycles
in France was 130,477, while at present
there are 100000. The average is four
machines to nearly every 1000 persons.
If the feeble, the aged, young children
and the majority of the women be ex-
cluded from the calculation, the aver
age will be one bicycle to every so per.
sons able to ride.
In concluding his report Mr.. Griffin
says: '"The bicycles offered for sale
on the French market are manufnc-
tured in every land; France can hard
ly hold her own in manufacturing these
machines. England supplies the larg-
est quantity of the foreign wheels, a
few are imported from Belgium and
many from the United States. There
is no reason why the high-grade Amer
lean bikes should not have a larger
sale in France if the right means were
used to introduce them.'

PHOEBE couzlNs is WEARY.

She says the World Does Not Want to BE
Reformed.
The followingletter has been received
from Miss Phoebe Couzins in acknowl-
edgment of contribution sent to her
by ST. Louis woman, who admires her
and is grateful for her work in the
cause of woman suffrage:
Los Angeles, Cal, June 22.-Please accept
this acknowledgment Of your Enclosure of
five dollars from Mrs. O. E. F.. whose kind
ly note touched my heart deeply. If have
rendered any service to the cause of hui
mainly which has made the burden less
grievous to bear to those who are not able
to voice their sorrows or to lift the press
ure from heavy hearts. am content with
the memory thereof. But it seems to me
that the moral Of my case, as we'll as that
of others who have spent their lives in the
ungracious work of reformation is: Don't
waste your energies in trying to reform
the world; 1t doesn't want to be reformed
Make for yourself the only safe harbor
in time of trouble-the sweet security of q
peaceful Homeland let the world take care
of itself, for it will never take care of you
In time of adversely"
This may seem like treason, but after the
varied experiences through which I have
passed 1 am forced to confess that it is
the summing up Of both observation and
experience, and to my mind covers the
wide range OF totality. Very sincerely
yours. Phoebe A. Couzins.
Phoebe is not alone in her estimate
of the world" said friend to whom the
letter was shown. Her letter repeats
the views and opinions of others, who
had mission, and found, too late, their
mistake"

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY PLANNED.

Programme of Field Operations for
1867 Is.Approved.
The plan of field operations of the
geological survey for the season of
1S96-97 has been completed and ap-
proved by the acting secretary of the
interior. Five geological parties will
work throughout the summer in the
New England states and eastern New
York, five in the Appalachian region,
two in the coast plain from the mouth
of the Hudson to the Gulf of Mexico,
five in the interior or Mississippi re.
gion, four in the Rocky mountain re-.
gion and eight in the Pacific region.
The usual archaeological work will be
continued. Special attention will be
given to certain fauna and fora in the
coal regions of the Appalachian and
Rocky mountains. Half the $4,000 APP
propriated for the photographic work
will be devoted to the gauging Of
streams and determination of the water
supply of all parts of the United States
under the direction of Expert Newell.
The topographic work is materially
changed. Lines of accurate levels will
be run throughout the surveying areas,
SO that monuments may be established
at points averaging not more than six
miles apart. This is new feature and
necessitates a change in the methods of
party work. The survey of the lands
of the Creek and Cherokee nations in
Indian territory will probably be COM
pleted by September l, and then there
will remain only the area south of the
Arkansas river.

Territorial Commanders to Be Changed
Corps of Women Rescuers.
The council Of the Salvation Army
leaders is at an end, and the officers
In charge Of the various dis
tricta throughout the country are
preparing to return to their
headquarters. But the return will only
be temporary one. It is the purpose
of those in charge of the army in this
country, in accordance with the regular
custom of the leaders of the army, to
change the territorial leaders. Some Of
these officers have been In charge Of
the territory where they are now lo-
Gated for five or six years, and it is
thought advisable that their posts be
changed. The changes will be made
within four or five weeks. The COM
mander had personal talks with all of
the territorial commanders, and the
changes will be made as soon as posi-
BILE.
Another innovation in the army,
which is to be established soon, is the
organization of the corps of women res
cures, with headquarters at rescue
homes. These homes will be for the
help Of fallen women, and in connection
with them will be ambulances, the wom-
en- in charge Of which will collect food
and clothing and take patients to the
homes.

Mr.. and Mrs. Lamson were married the

parents, and the next morning mounted
bicycle built for two and started
on their wedding tour. They have Sc
curely fastened inside the frame of
their wheel, which by the way is a
gentleman's tandem, two carriers with
capacity sufficiently large to contain
necessary changes Of clothing and
other supplies. The BRIDES travelling
dress, or. boomers rather, is of bottle
green, trimmed with gold braid to
match the enameling on the wheel,
while the groom wears the conventional
pepper and salt cycling outfit. They
passed through Chicago in the after
noon on their way to South Bend, Ind,
where they intended to spend the night.
Their destination is Niagara Falls, with
possible extension to Montreal. Mr..
and Mrs. Lamson expect to make the en-
tire round trip on their wheel, and will
be at home to their friends in Aurora
about September /.

Well in Indiana That Bubbles Fluid
That Is Strangely Exhilarating.
Mill Creek township, Putnam county,
Ind, is stirred over the discovery Of
some remarkable properties in tho
water of q we'll on the farm of Casa
Broadstreet. The water is pure, cold
and sparkling, but it contains some
secret property which, as seriously al.
legged by scores of witnesses, gives the
same exhilarating effect upon the hui
man system as alcohol. Dozens Of peo-
pie have experienced the sensation Of
jag" by drinking freely of the water,
but no bad effect followed. Samples of
the water have been sent to Greencastle
and to the State university for analysis.
Some of the people who have experi-
mented with it assert that the intense
GOODNESS of the water upon u heated
system gives the intoxicating effect, but
others insist that the water is the "ge1l-
uine stuff" and that it is the elixir for
which search has been made during all
the centuries past. A series of excava-
tons have been projected to the Broad
street farm, and little else is discussed
in Putnam county.

SHOWER OF HAY.
Strange Phenomenon That Surprised Res
idents of q Jersey Town.


idents of a Jersey Town.
A shower of hay, out of cloudless
sky, was the phenomenon witnessed by
the citizens of South Elizabeth, N. j.,
the other afternoon, says the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat. 1t was exactly 20
minutes to three o'clock when the hay
fall began. Those who received it i'm.
ogined it came from adjacent fields, al
though there was no wind blowing at
the time. Soon the entire village was
out of doors watching the strange sight.
few minutes after the fall began the
hay was coming down SO thick as to
make it difficult to see across the street.
1t continued in this manner for ten min
utes, then gradually ceased, leaving u
layer of hay that in some places was
several inches deep. Recovering from
their establishment the citizens started
to gather the crop unexpectedly show
cred upon them. One man gathered a
bundle of 800 pounds. All sorts of sur
misses are advanced as to the cause Of
this peculiar shower. 1t is presumed
that during the cyclone that swept over
a portion of the state on Sunday hay
stack was carried off, and, after whirl-
ing through the air, finally dropped on
South Elizabeth.

COVERED WITH MUSTARD.
Grain Crop In Southwestern Minnesota
May Be Failure

Grain Crop In Southwestern Minnesota
May Be Failure.
The farmer, who has been taught to
fear the mustard plant, has just fear,
as will be confirmed by view of the
present condition in southwestern Min
nesota. The level prairies, where green
fields were expected, are covered so
evenly and widely with yellow blossom
that it seems impossible that it can be
wild mustard. This condition is notice.
able in northwest Iowa, in Mobiles and
Rock counties, Minnesota, and this vi
entity. The fields Of grain seem to be
buried beneath overtowering growths
of mustard. The railway tracks, wagon
roads and barnyards are alike covered
by this weed. Indeed, this part of the
country seems to have no rest from the
monotony of its mustard growth. Mus
tard has long had a strong hold in this
part of the state, but the wet season is
evidently the cause of twice the usual
growth in all fields of small grain. The
plague threatens to virtually ruin the
crop.

Out in the Combat.
Michael Lucey, Chicago boy, who
is cadet at West Point, has been
thrashed by cadet named Heintzle-
man, from Washington, If the stories
received at the war department are
true. It is said that Lucey was being
drilled by "yearling" named Rea, and
that Rea so aggravated him that Lucey
struck his drillmaster on the head with
the butt Of his musket, knocking him
down and cutting deep cash over
Rea's eye. This was not reported to
tactical officer, and the "yearling''
class determined that its honor had
been assailed, and Lucey was informed
that he would have to fight. Lucey
is 10 years old, weighs 1903 pounds and
stands five feet eleven inches in height.
It was evident that Rea would be no

MAN-EATING MONKEY IN RAGE.
Attacks a Trainer, slaps Dog and Yanks
ClnXa Out Of Leopard.

Attacks Trainer, slaps Dog and Yanks
Claws out OF Leopard.
One of the worst of man-eatShg mon
keys ever brought to this country was
received by Daniel Burns, the dealer in
animals at 16S South street, New York
city, the other day. The monkey ar
rived from India in q consignment OF
&C specimens of Simian breeds and is
intended for exhibition purposes. He
has face similar to Johanna's, except
that it is white, and instead of teeth
for incisors has two fangs over an inch
long. Separating him from number
of smaller monkeys was screen made
of one-eighth-inch wire. During the
voyage he managed to tear the screen
from it's fastenings and before the man
in charge could stop him he had killed
four large ring-tailed monkeys.
When an effort was made by young
Burns, who is q trainer of beasts, to
take him from his cage the animal, with
, the strength of q gorilla, tore Burns
hands from about his throat and sunk
his fangs into one of them. AS young
, Burns let go his hold the monkey
| Jumped from the cage ana maze a daSh
for the rear of the store. A terrier
that has been trained to watch all sorts
of animals made for him, only to be
slapped to stundstill in few seconds.
The monkey then perched upon the top
of q leopard's cage, and as the leopard
stuck out paw seized it and tore the
claws from it.
He was finally knocked senseless by
a blow on the head with an iron feed
ing fork and put into a cage. He will
probably be placed on exhibition in
Central park for short while before
being shipped west. He stands about
four feet high, is a bunch of muscles,
has the strength of a gorilla, but weighs
about one-half as much as Johanna OF
the late Chico.
