FIRST LEARN TO RIDE.

Chicago Chronicle.
In the spring a livelier interest
Every politician feels,
Lightly turns to thoughts of wheels.
And he longs for checkered hose,
Which, with knickerbockers nobby,
All his charms of form disclose.
. Over maps of country highways
Long he burns the midnight oil;
AnXiously the heavens scanning
Lest a storm the road might spoil.
Wheels of various grades and prices
Learns of all the new devices
For bicycles repair.
Then some morning bright and early
HES him to the boulevard,
Clean and smooth and quite inviting,
Also very, very hard.
With his wheel so new and shining
He essays to take a whir.,
Knowledgous and wise, repining
That he did not bring his girl.
But with his first move unsteady
This young man of great renown
Finds himself not yet quite ready
And the cycle throws him down.
Bruised and daZed, he finds pedal
Firmly jabbed into his side
And remembers, of a sudden,
He forgot to learn to ride.

Some years ago a court speaking about
deceased canvasser for insurance, said there
was proof that in an interview with the
president, the deceased remarked that he
could procure a great number Of applications
in Newark, n. j., to which the president in
substance replied that he must be cautious,
as the company did not wish to insure insane
persons, or persons of habits of intoxication."

NEW STYLE OF BULLET.
The Sporting Rifle Preferred by Theodore
Roosevelt.

Roosevelt.
Theodore Roosevelt, who is looked
upon as an authority on all subjects
pertaining to sport, more especially the
hunting of big game in the West, writes
to Forest and Stream that he used a
3O-3O-calibre rifle on his recent trip to
the cattle ranges.
''The rifle used half-jacketed bullet
the nose being of naked Lead" he says.
'.The bullet mushroomed both on tissue
and bone, and it is as Notwithstanding
a little weapon as [ have ever handled.
Nothing that struck got away. There
is no recoil and no smoke. The weapon
is very light and handy, and the range
and penetration are excellent. So far
as I have tried it, it is as accurate as
the 1890, and is equally good in long
range shooting at antelope and in cut
ting off the heads of grouse. In my
rifle there is a slight tendency to lead,
which necessitated careful cleaning at
the end of each day. On the whole, /
think it the most satisfactory rifle that
| have ever had It knocks down ante
lope as if the beast were hit with q
sledge hammer. The last shot l made
with it | was in company with friend
with whom l killed my first buffalo
thirteen years ago. The antelope was
AoU yards off, running. [ struck him
in the flank, ranging forward and COM
ing out at the opposite shoulder, bring
ing him down before he had made anoth-
er Jump My companion came up and
looked at the hole the bullet made, shook
his head, and said solemnly: I guess
that little 5000 is the ace And quite
agree with him."

RAISING KIDS.
The Chief Source of Revenue Among
French Mountaineers.

The Chief Source of Revenue Among
French Mountaineers.
The raising of kids for the skins is a
leading industry among the French
mountaneers, who obtain no small part
of their subsistence from this source.
Softness, delicacy of texture and free
dom from blemish are principal factors in
the value of kid skins, and to secure these
essentials great pains are taken.
SO soon as the young animal begins to
eat grass, the value of the skin declines,
for with a grass diet its skin Immediately
begins to grow coarser and harder in
texture and it's chief merit vanishes. 1t

to secure the skin from accidental injury
from scratches or bruises, which impair
its value.
When the kids have Raced a certain
age at which the skins are in the best
condition for the use of the glover they
are killed and the hides are sold to travel
ing hawzers, through whom they reach
the great centers of the tanning industry.

GRAVEYARD DIRT FAILED HIM.
Tale of Queer Superstition Current
Among Georgia Negroes.

The Atlanta Constitution says that
some Of the Georgia negroes have a
queer superstition as to graveyard dirt.
An instance Of this is found in the case
of a negro who was wanted for some
offense over in Brooks county. and who
had been lodging about Valdosta for
some time. Sheriff Connolly and Marshal
Wade went to Valdosta and secured
track hounds, and then went to Hahira,
where they took a buggy for a point
four or FIVE miles west of that place.
The negro was picking cotton in field
when he learned that officers were after
him. He dropped his cotton bag and
took to his heels. Passing through a
little country churchyard, he filled his
shoes pretty full of graveyard dirt, to
keep the dogs from getting his track.
This was not as effective as he supposed
it would be, for in half an hours time
after he left the dogs had his track and
were following it at lightning speed. The
negro was tracked for twelve miles, and
was caught in the river swamp.
The officers returned with him that
night. They say that the negro put up
the best race they have ever seen, and
though the dogs overlook him several
times, he managed to whip them back
and keep up his race for liberty.

tiers and chemicals, have been filled with
cheap and worthless substances and the
original manufacturers have suffered in
consequence.
Three years ago a large prize was Of
fered in England for an invention that
would successfully overcome this kind Of
fraud, and hundreds Of attempts have in
consequence been made, but, until now,
without success.
The principal feature of this new bot
tie, which is the invention of Joshua v.
Van Name of Staten Island. is peculiar
ly constructed valve, which works On a
substantially new principle. It is at the
end of sinuously constructed passage.
and works automatically, and by ny
draulic force. The moment any liquid
is attempted to be forced into the bottle
the valve instantly closes.
A point of Importance is the extreme
simplicity of the device The valve is
located at the very shoulder of the bot
tie, and is especially constructed to pre-
vent the insertion of any instrument.
The device may be fitted into barrels,
casks or demijohns, as well as bottles,
1t has already been patented in this
country, and applications have been filed
in Europe-New York Journal.

AN INGENIOUS UMBRELLA.

Useful to Them.
Cassell's Saturday Journal describes a

collection Of articles that were used by
burglars when engaged, in their calling is
one particular article that arouses gener-
al interest. In appearance it resembles
large umbrella that has seen hard serv-

burglar and it was by it's means that he
was able to enter the second story of
a building.
ION the cover being removed a stick
wound with rope is revealed. The stick
opens like telescope, or jointed fish
ing pole. Wound round it is a rope
ladder, made of strong material and
about 13 feet in length. The ladder is
only wide enough for one foot to be
placed on the rounds. The extending
stick was used to raise one end of the
ladder to the window through which the
operator wished to enter, and on one
end of the ladder are two hooks to be
fastened to the sill. This imitation UNI
brella is regarded as one of the most in
genious affairs ever made use of by a
