One weak point about the woman cy-

when danger looms ahead she loses her

Itis well To remember that when out for
ordinary spins it is neither necessary to
point the toes in exaggerated imitation OF
the racing man or to wisgIe the BODY about
as il one were seated on hot cridiron.
These positions and actions are neither
pleasing In the sight OF others or bencfi-
ciai to the rider concerned The good re-
sulting from a perfect ankle action is in
estimable. Not only does it score, from the
standpoint OF appearance, but better pace,
with much less fatigue, can be maintained,
while 1t also minITnizes the risk OF side
slip it the roads be at all greasy. Apropos
of side-slip. low gear is also valuable in
avoiding this. Ankle action was seen to
perfection in the ordinary's days, when its
value was fully appreciated. 1t is advisable
to watch this &C ION carefully when oppur-
tunity affords, bat care must be taken that
the exponent copied is really a master OF
th. art. or nothing is gained
Writers are very fond OF glibiy mention
ing the swift, gliding wheel DuJ Ii the
rider has not cultivated the art OF ankle
action. we fear the sight is not very pict-
uresque. One is almost inclined to say
that all things 20 for naugnt Ii tins one
feature is lacking. while much can be for
given if a graceful style of pedaling has
beeIi acquired.

eff you don't take care what you are
about you will simplify cavalry move
ments to such a degree that any fool
will be able to drill regiment" was
the remonstrance addressed by Lord
Cardigan to Gen. Sir James Scarlet,
his coadjutor on a committee appointed
about forty years ago to bring into har-
mony with utility and common sense
the then prescribed evolutions, which
were SO fanciful as to suggest circus
show and so complicated that the BIZ
noraial theorem might be accounted
comparatively simple.
The indignant reproach of the light
cavalry hero to the heavy cavalry hero
was, however, but the keynote to a
principle which formerly governed mil
itary superiors in their opinions and
subordinate officers in their actions; for
these latter never presumed-at least
in theory-to entertain any opinion"
whatever. 81 thought, sir might
be the exculpation of some unwary sub
altern, wigged by his colonel. you

think?" was the stereotyped reply,
needless of the obvious mental rejoin-
der: THE great God who gave you leave
to breathe. "-Blackwoo Magazine.

Mr. CLEVELAND is said to be furious
at the New York World and many east
ern journals are seeking high and low
for reason for this sudden anger of the
president, but without apparent success
1t is knewn that the World has boon
friendly to the president all along, and is
SO yet It has been among his most able
defenders and apologists. If the truth
about the matter could be ascertained it
would probably be found that the real
cause of the presidents displeasure is
found the fact that the World has
taken him at his word in the matter of a
popular loan. The World has been I'M
firing in its efforts to make a popular
loan successful. In doing so it has ap-
parently caused dissolution of the syn
dictate, and therein probably lies the
cause of the presidents ruffled serenity;
because if the forthcoming bonds should
really be taken by the people, would not
Mr.. Cleveland's friends and partners,
the members of the syndicate, be de-
prived of large profits, which seemed at
ono time to be almost within their grasp?
Who can say how much this may mean
to the president in a pecuniary way; not
to mention subjecting him to the sus-
picion of being bungler?

Dumas Was KIND Hearted.

Personally NJ. Dumas was one Of the
most polished and fascinating of men
as he was also one of the most kind
hearted. He was a great discoverer of
dramatic stars and always testified the
warmest and most disinterested friend
ship for his proteges. The Partisan
stage owed to his keen appreciation of
talent the lamented Desclee, the gifted
and Inflated TalIandiera and the IN
happy Feyghine, whose tragic fate Paris
has scarcely yet forgotten. The bril-
liant coincidence, Nine. Celine Chau-
mont, was discovered by him in a little
suburban theater, and owed to him her
first engagement at the Gymnase.

TRIUMPH OF SCIENCE.
A Light by Which the Interior of Sub

A Light by Which the Interior of Sub
stances May Be Photographed.
Tho noise Of wars alarms should not
distract attention from the marvellous tri-
umph of science which is reported from
Vienna. 1t is announced that Professor
Routgen of the Wurzburg university has
discovered light which, for the purposes
of photography, will penetrate wood, flesh
and most other organic substances. The
professor has succeeded in photographing
metal weights which were in closed
wooden case; also a mans hand which
shows only the bones, the flesh being in
visible.
The London Chronicle correspondent
says the discovery is simple. The professor
takes a SO called Crooke's pipe-viz, a
vacuum glass pipe with an induction cur
rent going through it-and, by means of
rays which the pipe enits, photographs on
ordinary Photographic pipes.
In contrast with the ordinary rays of
light these rays penetrate organic matter
and other opaque substances just as ordi-
nary rays penetrate glass.
He has also succeeded in photographing
hidden metals with cloth thrown over
the camera. The rays penetrated not only
the wooden case containing the metals,
but the fabric in front of the negative.
The professor is already using his dis
covery to photograph broken limbs and
bullets in human bodies.-Cable Dispatch

billiards and pool ever since she was old
enough to handle cue. She is SO small
that she can scarcely look over a billiard
table, yet she can play with marvellous
dexterity. She can actually make run"
of a larger number than she is able to
count. 1t is not an uncommon thing for
her to go to billiard hall and play pool
with a perfect stranger, making every ball
on the table in one game. The little girl
has been playing pool and billiards now
for about year. She does not care for
skates or sleds and is devoid of even the
most incipiente ambition to become a
bloomer girl and ride bicycle.
Her fayorite etoy is a billiard cue that
weighs s. ounces, and when Santa Claus
visited Chicago very recently he made La
cuta the happiest littlo girl in the city by
placing in her stocking a beautiful hand
carved rosewood cue inlaid with ebony,
mahogany and white holly and bearing her
name on a pearl plate on the handle. La
cuta has heard of Arthur Kruger, tho
wonderful boy pool player, and is anxious
to play match with him.

WHY SHOULD THE WEST FIELD ?
It will be noticed with some regret by
the friends and admirers of Mr.. Brod-
erick that he favors Speaker Reed rather
than a free silver man for the presidency,
because a free silver man "could not get
it." Certainly he could not get it if all
the friends of silver shall look 1t the
matter in the same light as MIR. Broderick
does and favor a gold standard man,
which he seems to regard Nr. Reed to
be-
The reason is not good one. 1t is but
another case of placing party policy
ahead of principle. Mr.. Broderick will
hardly dispute the existence of a large
majority in favor of the free coinage of
silver in the United States. Is there any
reason to suppose that these voters would
not support a Republican free coinage
candidate? If they would not, whom
would they support? Certainly not a
Democrat; first, because the Democracy
is not likely to nominate a silver man;
and second, because the party cannot be
trusted if it did
It is not likely that the silver people
would prefer to vote for the Populist
candidate with all the vagaries Of that
party.
The people are looking to the Repub-
lican party for their Moses. If men like
Mr.. Broderick are to join in with the
eastern goldbugs in giving them the cold
shoulder, then where shall they turn for
help. That they will turn somewhere
there can be little doubt.
The First district congressman says he
would rather trust Mr.. Reed than q west
ern man with eastern ideas. which. of
course, means Allison. But why not a
western man with western ideas
The west and south are of the same
mind on the silver question and can con-
troll the convention. Why shouldn't they
do it. The east would not furnish the
money for conducting the campaign, as
it always has done, but very little money
would be needed.
A western man, with western ideas, on
a western platform, would sweep the
country like whirlwind.

A WE'LL BORN WAITER,
Said to BE Half Brother to the German
Emperor.


Emperor.
In an obscure eating house down a
sQualid street on the east side of New York,
employed a waiter, is man who has
had most romantic history, and who, it
is said, is half brother of Emperor Will
liam of Germany. He is known as Carl
Barn Won Rex, and he works in Walters
restaurant at 1o6 Third street. He was
born in Berlin in 1850. His mother was
Eliza Freunn Won Rex, a lady in waiting
to the Empress Augusta. His birth was
attended with great secrecy, his mother
being conveyed to safe hiding place. His
mother looked after him until he was old
enough to be sent to school, and chen re-
turned to her place at court. The lad grew
up in the belief that his father had died
when he was an infant.
At 16 Carl was appointed cadet in the
German navy. Powerful influence seemed
always pushing him forward until he be-
came an officer, when the influence seemed
to be withdrawn. In the fighting off the
east African coast he was severely wound
ed, which caused him to be invalided as
incurable. Then he got into a row at Ber-
lin with nobleman, also an officer, and
thrashed him. For that he had to leave
the country. He went to Africa and failed
as diamond hunter. Then he was sum-
moned to the deathbed of his mother, who
told him he was the natural son of the
Emperor Frederick, ''Unser Fritz" aud
half brother of the present emperor.
Carl buried his mother, went to Paris
and got into a scandal, underwent an
operation for his wounds and came to New
York, where he experienced another opera
ton in St. Francis hospital, and finding
all his prospects gone but his pension from
Germany of $45 has been a waiter in a
cheap eating house. He has plenty of doc
uments bearing out his story. In manners
and general appearance he bears striking
resemblance to Emperor William. He is
tall, well built and has the long, tawny
mustache which is the striking feature of
the present emperor.

The other evening, between Adams and

that had been run over by the Oregon
Railway and Navigation company's train.
Two were dead and the other three had
legs cut off. Lew Reed was on the train,
and Conductor ". e. Watson of the Walla
Walla local requested him to shoot the

essary to each one, but all were soon lying
in the snow amid pools of blood.
One big horse had a leg cut completely
off, and yet, when approa he'd by tho
marksman, he ran away with great speed.
A bullet was planted in the right spot,
and after he had run quite distance he
jumped into the air and fell dead. Blood
was trailed along the railroad track for
nearly mile, as the wounded horses had
been run over several hours before they
were shot.-Oregonian

ginning of the government down to 1878,
when it was taken from them by meas
IRE as revolutionary, radical and confis-
catory as it was cunning-and the de-
mand of the people now is nothing more
than that this unjust measure be re-
pealed and the subject of coinage put
back where it was in 1878. Suppose the
act of 1878 suspending the free coinage
of silver had never been passsd-would
the country be verse of than it is now?
There is not reputable banker or fnan-
cier in the land whose opinion is worth
listening to who will assert it So far
from it. the country would be
immeasurably better off than
ie lie today. Silver. instead of having a
market value of 81 cents an ounce,
would be worth 81 % an ounce; the
mines of the mountain states would be
the center of thriving Industries; the
populations of those states would be
thrice as great as they are this day;
wheat, corn, cattle, hogs, horses, wool
and cotton would be = third to a half
higher in price; farms would be Hersh
