Tailoring Spoiled BY Bicyeling.

There is a noticeable dullness in tho
tailoring business in the West, which
the knights of the needle ascribe to
the growing use of the bicycle, with
its necessity for the wearing of knick-
erbockers. Many young men attend
business attired in their cycling suits,
and the consequent loss of trade to the
tailors in the way of trousers suits IS
enormous. Detroit Free Press.

For distinguished gallantrv in

November 27, 1868, Professor M. e.
Scheibner, member of Company G,
Ninotieth Pennsylvania Volunteers,
and now the head of the Boys High
School, of Reading Penn, has been
awarded medal OF honor. Comrade
Scheibner's act, Tor which he is thus
rewarded, and which showed rare pres

shelling of the Union troops at Mine
Run, Va, in the fall of 1868, prepare
tory to the demonstration that was to
have been made by the entire line in
general charge across Mine Run and
up the hill, whose tops were crowned
with Notifications and manned by
Lees best troops. Shells were drop
ping all along the Union lines; one in
particular fell close to group of the
members of the Ninetieth Pennsyl-
vania, who were lying behind a pile
of regimental knapsacks. A general
scattering took place, but Comrade
Scheibner, with wonderful presence of
mind, instantly removed tho stopper
of his canteen, which contained coffee,
and poured its contents on the burn
ing fuse, extinguishing it and thereby
preventing the bursting OF the death
dealing shell. A second or two longer
would have perhaps sent into eternity

The Shah's Farewell :.

When the Shah went to England some years ago, he visited one Of the large towns in Yorkshire. While driving through the streets he noticed some gamins who were saluting him by applying their thumbs to the tips of their nasal organs. On inquirlng the meaning of this procedure, he was told that it was looked upon as a mark of respect in that country. When the Shah's visit came to an end he, was accompanied to the station by the mayor of the borough. When they arrived there the train was about to start, and the Shah at once took his seat. As the train moved of. amid the cheers of the crowd, the Shah rose, put his head out of the window, gravely applied his thumb to his hose and spread out his fingers in the most approved style at the astonished mayor, to that gentleman's discontinue and the delight of the bystanders.-ET.

Area and Character.

San Diego county comprises the extreme southwest corner of the United States, and extends from the Pacific ocean eastward to the Colorado River. It has an area of S,400 square miles-36O more than the state of Massachusetts, and 517 square miles more than the states of Rhode Island, Connecticut and Delaware combined. It has 75 miles of sea coast. Between the coast and the mountains, strip of country from thirty to forty miles wide, the ascent is gradual and varied with fertile and picturesque valleys, slopes and mesas. From the summit Of these mountains, which culminate in a peak about 5000 feet above sea level, the land falls rapidly away into the desert and finds it's lowest point in a depression 250 or 300 feet below the level of the sea. As whole the country is much broken, but abounds in very fertile and easily accessible valleys. Most of the soil consists of rich alluvium of wash from the mountains, and decomposed granite, and in no parts of the world can such a diversity of soil and climate be found in such small territory az in this county. -San Diego World.
 The above land commences at the railroad bridge on the north side of the Colorado river and is all that the World claims for 1t.

A Beautiful Old Epitaph.

There is something singularly beautiful and affecting in the follow ing epitah, which an old newspaper represents as translated from one Gin Gaelic probably in the parish church of Glenorchy, in Argyleshire.
 "Lo, she lies here in the dust. and her memory fills mo with grief; silent is the tongue of Melody, and the hand of Elegance is now at rest. No moro shall the poor give thee his blessing, nor shall the naked be warmed with the fleece of thy flock the tear shalt thou wipe not away from the eye Of the wretched Where now, O feeble, is thy wanted help2 No more, my Fair, shall We mest thee in the social hall; no more shall we sit at thy hos pitable board. Gone forever is the sound of mirth; kind, the candid, tho meek is now no more. Who can ex. press our griefl Flow, ye toars ot woe"

Washington Letter.

 Washington, May 18th, 1'

 Mir. CleveIand's curt refusal to furnish the Senate with copies of tho correspondence with Spain concerning the American citizens captured on the 6llibuster Competitor, asked for by the Morgan resolution, IS not we'll received either i1 or out of the Senate, and unless it rs proven to Senators by allowing them to see the cores pondence, that some better reason than whim of MT. Cleveland's exists for refusing this information, the Senate IS likely to take some addi- tional action. A report which cannot be verified says that Secertary Olney refused to allow a member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Rela- tions to see this correspondence.
 Senator Quay's visit to Gov. Nc Kin1ey is the subject most talked about just now by the Republicans n Congress, who have nearly all concluded that unless there is a radical change not now expected in the sentiments of the delegates to the St. Louis Convention, Gov. Mckinley will be the Republican nominee and the next President. While nobody knows exactly why that visit was made, nor what was it's result, it has certainly pleased the Republicans, those who supported Gov. Mckinley as we'll as those who supported other candidates. It indicates for one thing that the St. Louis Convention is not to be followed by the sulking which had much to do with Repub- lican defeat in 'S4 and in '92.
 The House cannot be accused of having any surplus love for MT. Cleveland, but it very promptly sat upon the notoriety seeking resolution of Representative Howard, the Ala bama Populist, impeaching the Pres ident. Before Howard could make the sensational speech he started, Representative Dingley raised the question of consideration against the resolution; Speaker Reed at once put the question, and by practically unanimous vote the House refused to hear Howard.
 There is much doubt about that investigation of the bond issues by this administration which the Senate directed to be made. According to Senator Harris, who IS chairman of the subcommittee which will do the investigating, it may be finished in three days or it may take three months. It we'll not begin until Secretary Carlisle furnishes the com- mittee all the details of the several bond issues. While indicating his willingness to do this, MT. Carlisle told the committee that it would take considerable time to prepare the statement. Some criticism has been aroused by the report that the inves- tigation would be secret.
 is we'll know that neither Senator Vest nor Senator Blackburn has any love for the present administration The other day Vest approached Black burn and said: "Joe, don't you think Morton is the blankest fool who ever held Cabinet position?" Blackburn took long pull on the long black cigar he had just lit and replied "Can't answer the question, Vest; I'm committed to Hoke Smith"

 Sleep, in order to be ele6cisl, must be profound and healthful.

 Unless the person is actually lazy and in danger of contracting bad hab- its in this respect, it is better to allow him to sleep at will. Especially is this true of growing children.

 Sleep that has been artiicially in duced is comparatively of little value. It is true that the mind is relieved of its activity, but the various organs, and the impulses which tend to their nutrition, are also to an appreciable extent paralyzed.-YoWth,s Con.pdn- | ion.
