raller-and,s Intrixues.

At first he appears to have desired q
violent death for Napoleon, in the hope
of furthering his own schemes during
long imperial regency. At all
events, he ardently opposed the de-
parture of the empress and the king OF
Rome from Paris. Nevertheless it was
he who dispatched Vitrolles, the pas.
sionate royalist, to Nesselrode with a
letter in invisible ink which, when de-
ciphered, turned out to be an inscrut-
able riddle capable of two interpreta-
tions. Lannes had long before stig-
matized the unfrocked bishop as a
mess of filth in silk stocking; Murat
said he could take kick from behind
without showing it in his face. His
fellow conspirators were scarcely less
bitter in their dislike than his avowed
enemies Yet he pursued the even ten
or of his course, scattering innuendos,
distributing showers of anonymous
pamphlets, smuggling English news
papers into the city, in fact working
every wire of conspiracy.-Prof. w. N.
Sloane. in Century.

ORDERED HIM TO STOP.

back until the avalanche had passed,
and he supposed the bandit was close
behind him. But at last when he cost
a glance back he found he was alone.
The bandit had not been able to
mount his horse and escape before the
avalanche caught him, and it had
swept him on down the mountain as
though he had been feather, and bur-
led him hundreds of feet deep in the
gorge.
Frank reached his destination safely
and placed the package of money in
Jake Bushnell's hands. He had lost
the mail, hut that was of little conse-
quence, since it contained nothing but
few unimportant letters.
1t was narrow escape, however, both
for Frank and the money. But for the
avalanche the bandit would have got
the letter, and Frank just cleared the
track of the avalanche in time to save
his life.
Old Peter, when Frank told him of
his adventure, ascribed his escape to
Providence, and while he worried about
the loss of the mail, he was rejoiced
that Frank did not suffer the fate of The
robber.
Whether the hand of Providence was
in it or not, certain it is that the ava
lanche came in good season; and equal
ly certain it is that the bandit never
went about the country hunting up the
registered mail that was addressed to
other people 'by mistake" or other
wise.

A flume six miles long, partsof 1t
built on trestles 81 feet high, has been
constructed near Cottage Grove, Ore,
from a mill in the lumber belt to the
Southern Pacific railroad. A million
feet of lumber was used in building 1t,
and its capacity is 10000 feet a day.
There is abundant water for it through
out the year.
Another method of preserving tim
berhas recently been tried. 1t consists
in dissolving in naphtha the heavy oils
and wakes left after the distillation of
petroleum, and forcing the solution into
the seasoned timber in the same man
ner as in creosoting. The timber is
then heated, when the naphtha evap-
orates and is recovered in cooling
chamber, while the wakes, etc., remain
behind in the wood, water-proofing it.
Free surfaces of water, and soils
that are continuously saturated, evap-
crate into the atmosphere on the aver
age more water under otherwise sim
liar circumstances than soils, whether
naked or covered with plants, and
whether watered artificially or natur-
ally. Prof. Wollney says only at spe-
cial times, viz, when the influence OF
the factors that favor evaporation is
most intense, when the plants are in
the most active period of growth and
when the soil contains large percen-
tage of water, can the land that is Gov.
cred with eplants show a larger evap'
Grating power than the free water
surface.

"Why don't you weep?" 81 do not" he

Here is story which is always crop
ping up and will probably long con-
tinue to do so, fitted onto some we'll
known parsonage of the time. 1t used
to be told 40 years ago of Lady Jersey
going to the chapel in Curzon street
and was told in London last century
about some one else:
"Mme. de B., arriving too late for
mass one Sunday at 1885 o'clock, said
to her lackey: Go and write my
name.'"
Lady Jersey was supposed to have
put it somewhat differently, remarking
to her daughter as she turned away,
finding all the seats filed: 'Well, my
dear. at least we have done the civil
thing."-Cornbill Magazine.

A sheaf of Proverbs.


As jewel of gold in a swine's snout,
so is fair woman without skirt.
A fat road maketh cheerful conn
tenance, but tya steep hill is the spirit
broken.
Who can find q woman who doth
cycle with safety? For her price is far
above rubies.
When scorching cometh, then cometh
shame, but with the slow rider is wis
dom.
1t Is better to ride alone on "bone-
shaker" than with brawling woman
on tandem.
She that rideth with wise men shall
be safe, but a companion of scorchers
shall be destroyed.
1t is the glory of women to conceal
their ankles. but the honor of men 10
to display their legs.
A wise woman feareth and departeth
from crowded streets, but the foolish
rideth and is confident.
Whose mocketh the divided skirt re-
proacheth his manhood, and he that il
glad at skirt lifted by the wind shall
not be unpunished.- Y. Commercial
Advertiser.

BICYCLE POSSIBILITIES.


The Mechanical Limitations of the wheel
About Reached.
Here we reach the domain of specula
ton. The bicycle has changed many
times in its form, and always for the
better; each form has taken on its null
titude OF improvements, and no part
of the modern wheel has escaped the
ingenuity of the mechanic in his aim 10
secure better material, stronger con-
nections, lighter weight, greater speed,
grace of design and comfort to the rider.
Every day is day of new records and
of the reveaIment of new possibilities.
Four hundred and odd miles for sim
gle day; 30 miles in an hour; 100 miles
in three hours and forty-seven minutes;
q single mile in one minute and-but a
statement of the seconds here would be
true only for the week in which it was
written. 1-
Six years ago one of the best-in-
formed and most progressive of our
cycling authorities, Mr.. +. p. Prial, edi-
tor of the Wheel, writing of the safety
bicycle of that day, mentioned the draw
backs of the pneumatic tire as being
ats large size, and the necessity of re-
plenishing the air to keep it properly
distended." He advised that the ideal
safety should not be geared too high,
but only to "a or 81 inches, except in
the case of strong riders" The gearing
of the mans wheel of 1896 is from So
inches upward, gearing of 20 inches
being about the average and so not at
all uncommon; while the woman's
wheel of to-day, when geared at 60, is
easily propelled by new and inexperi-
enced riders. Saddles, tires, frames,
bearings, handle-bars, cranks, spokes
and rims have been lightened, simpli-
fed, improved and from year to year
made to displace the cruder product o!
the year before.
Where is the limit? No man can tell;
but so far as it relates to the common
pedomotive bicycle of to-day, the prac.
tical limit would seem to be not far dis.
tant. A year or two hence will probably
witness the introduction of practical
motor bicycle, and the more general
adoption of motor carriages in certain
parts of the country where the roads
have been improved. Meanwhile the
bicycle now in common use will hold
its way, with such improvements in
detail, and perhaps in form, as will add
to its usefulness, and to the comfort
convenience and security of the rider
