"FORM" IN BICYCLING.
How Society People Go 8 WheeIing-At-
 tending Grooms and Maids.

The form of bicycling is beginning to be studied. Grooms on wheels must follow their mistresses as they did on horseback; it is probably only a ques- tion of short time when the lady's maid will have to include wheeling with her other accomplishments to secure situation. On tine road the woman who wishes to ride a la mode has to know a number of little things that are over looked by another woman, just as the smart set have a code for riding and driving that is as inexorable as that they should not eat with their knives or put sugar on oysters. Society in- sists on an upright position, with, of course, no attempt at racing pace. It also frowns upon constant ringing of the bell-that will do for the vulgar herd who delight in noise; the well-in- formed wheelwoman keeps eyes and ears alert and touches her bell rarely.

ELECTION RESULTS.

Betting on the results of election or anything else never changes the actual results, neither is the practice com mendable. There is, however, no bet ter barometer to show how anything is going than the odds offered in wagers either for or against Below is the lat est quotations from the New York poo rooms on the results of the coming election, given by states. Any one can readily see that Mckinley has clearly the best of it:
 General result, 21a to on Mckinley New York city, even money on Me Kinley.

BOUGHT ANOTHER'S MUSTACHE.
Paid the Price, But Failed to Get the
 Goods,

A singular story is reported from St. Calais. A few days ago several per- sons were sitting at table in local hotel, when the splendid mustache of a horse dealer became the subject of conversation. One of the members of the party complimented the horse deal CT and asked him for what price he would sell his mustache. '"Ten francs" replied the latter, laughingly. q will buy half of them,' said the would-be purchaser, placing five francs on the table. The horse dealer put the money in his pocket and later in the evening left the hotel. Not quite appreciating the joke, the man who was minus the five francs sought the aid of the county court process server, and having laid, the information in regular form brought action against the horse dealer for 800 francs damages for non-execu- fion of his contract.

MONKEY LIGHTS MATCHES.

But Has Not the Intelligence to Kindle
 Fire with Them.
 No creature but man has ever made use of fire. An African traveller, indeed, has told story of apes making thiev- ing raid on camp of natives, and car rying torches to light their way; but this story lacks proof, and is not ac- cepted as true by zoologists.
 There is, however, says the Youths Companion, in the Philadelphia zoologi- cal garden monkey who has learned to scratch matches perfectly well. This accomplishment he is willing to exhibit on any occasion. He has learned to hold the match by it's middle part, so that his fingers are not burned by being too near the flame, and so that the match will not break by being held too near the other end.
 This fact involves another, that he is aware which end has the sulphur, and does not attempt tc scratch the unsul- phured end. He has furthermore learned that rough surface is better to scratch the match on than smooth one, and his care in looking for the rough places is very diverting..
 But with all these intelligences, the monkey has no notion of kindling an- other fire with the one that he has caused by the friction of the match. He simply lets the match burn out, and il he lights another, does it for the pleas ure of seeing it burn.
 This monkeys keepers, and the mer of science who are experimenting witf his intelligence, hope to communicate to him eventually an idea of fire making and using; but from the moment they succeed in doing so-if they ever do sue ceed-it will be necessary to keei matches out of his reach.

THE FORMIDABLE UMBRELLA.
A French Tragedian Finds It Mightier
 Than the Sword.

The affection of the collector for the objects of his zeal has been amusingly illustrated by a story told of Melingue, a French tragedian who had a mania for gathering together great quantities of old vestments, arms and similar an- tique apparatus. Among his treasures was beautiful and keen-edged sword which had belonged to Philip H., son of Emperor Charles V.
 Having worn this sword in a piece in which be was performing, Melingue was making his way homeward in Paris one night. The weather was rainy, and he carried an umbrella. Under his cloak be bore the precious sword of Philip II.
 Coming around corner, Melingue was suddenly menaced by two sneak thieves. He was an expert fencer, and knew that with the sword he could quickly beat the rascals off. But he said to himself:
 What! Betray to these rascals that have such precious possession? No! They might be too much for me, after all, and then they would get it. l will keep it out of sight"
 So saying, he placed his left hand on the hilt of the sword inside his cloak and with the other hand let down his umbrella. With this as a weapon, he assaulted the footpads with such force and spirit that he put them to flight.
 In this case the umbrella turned out to be mightier than the sword.

Louis NapoIeon's Prediction.

A correspondent of the New York Sun calls attention to the fact that in his "Recollections of Minister to France MT. Washburne says: T was somewhat surprised to hear him (Na- poleon III.) remark that he thought Spain could not hold Cuba, and that the result would be that she would sacrifice all her soldiers and spend all her money and then lose the island in the end"

THE BENEFlCENT CROW.
What He Does for the Farmer Despite
 His Reputation.


 k His Reputation.
 If farmers would make a study of natural history and it's bearings on their property-the relation of hawks to their hen coops, for instance-there would be better paying crops.
 The Year Book of the department of agriculture tells about COW black birds and what they eat. About 2,3OO of their stomachs have been examined, and of these 2,258 contained food. The birds were killed in 26 states. Forty eight per cent. of the food was animal, 4S per cent. vegetable and four per cent. was mineral. The blackbird has a variety of things it eats.
 "The animal food" says the report, consisted of insects, spiders, myria- pods (thousand legs), crawfish, earth worms, sowbugs, hair snakes, snails, fishes, tree toads, salamanders (newts), lizards, snakes, birds eggs and mice" To these might have been added young birds, fish cast up by the tide, minnows caught while swimming in shallow water, and probably meat and carrion of various kinds. Most of the animal food is, of course, insects. These con- stitute 46 per cent. of the total, the other two per cent. being the larger things, like mice. The animal food is taken mostly in the summer. In win ter the food is mostly vegetable matter The insects the bird kills more thar make up the damage he does, especially as his nest robbing appears to be only an accidental habit not often indulgeC in. A large flock of the birds would o1 course destroy lot of grain. Some 50.000 would eat about 5000 pounds 2 day, but they would consume as many insects, which would more than de stroy the amount the birds do.

Few Children in France.

Of all the peoples of Europe the French have the fewest children and the Irish the most. The average French family numbers 3.O3 persons and the average Irish family 5.2:- In England the average is AS and in Germany it is Al. The Spanish and Russians closely approach the Irish in prolifcness. Con
 rasted with the French in Europe, the French in Canada are the most prolific race in Christendom.

But, notwithstanding they are now in tn city itself, there are few lots for sale yet at prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine" of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of a dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property.
