beautifully colored illustrations of four
different flags of the Cnfederacy. The

Laid an Egg in His Hat.

On Wednesday, about 5 o'clock a.
NJ, as Anton Burgosen was going to
his work at Aliens brewery, he saw a
flock OF wild geese aying overhead.
The better to look at them he took of
his hat, holding it outstretched, and
then, to his astonisbment, SOW one
goose drop in the air toward him. His
vision being keen-he had not reached
the brewery yet; indeed, had he, this
would not be related as fact, for Al
lens beer is good-he saw something
drop from the goose like a shot,
straight for his hat, and fall safely
therein. The something was-.what
think you-an egg! A real eggl The
goose evidently saw the opportunity
to deposit its egg in safe place and
guaged it to hair. Burgosen could
not believe his eyes, yet there was the
egg, sure enough, and, save for slight
bruise at the upper.end, perfectly un-
injured. The egg and Anton are now
at Aliens brewery and will verify
this story. 1t is most astonishing
thing, not heard OF more than once IN
a ;fetime.-Revelstoke (Oregon) Mall

L0ntiOn's Electrical Supply.

Compared with other large towns,
London Is easily at the head for the
magnitude OF its electrical supply,
says Chambers Journal. Paris, for
instance, has only m equivalent of
about 100000 eight-candle power
lamps, as compared with the 1900, 600
lamps in London, as stated above.
Manchester and Liverpool have, respec-
lively, about 80, 900 and 81, 600; Glas-
gov, 10000; Edinburgh, 43, 900;
Dublin, 10000, and Cardiff, 5000. OF
the total capital expended in the whole
of the United Kingdom for supplying
electricity London has spent more
than one.half.

with it. A ribbon trimming, with
skimp little bows, is ruinous to the
loveliest gown; the making of bow
is no little art, and if one has not a

some other form of trimming, or have
them made by the m:lllner. Rosettes
are much simpler and easier to man

smart as the bow would be.

What 1t Costs to Make Bicycles.

In letter to the New York Sun the
writer says:
While in Buffalo recently I ran
across an employe of one OF the BIZ
cycle works in that city. Being per-
soIally known to him, asked what
was the absolute cost of production of
3 s1oO high-grade wheel. He began
to figure it out.
''The best way to get at it," he said,
sis to take the highest prices paid to
mechanics TO produce certain parts
until the wheel is complete and ready
for the market. Taking the wages
paid the men to manufacture all these
parts, the absolute cost to the bosses
to put upon the market S100 high
grade wheel is $3.50 The bosses of
the shop where I work sell their
wheels to retail dealers for S5O."
.Now, as an employe," asked,
"what would you have to pay your
employers for a'$100 wheel?"
"Oh! they sell them to US for $40,
but We cannot resell them unless We
want to get discharged"
"Don't you think 500 high-grade
wheel can be sold for $50 with profit
to the manufacturer and still maintain
the present rate of wages paid me-
chanics who make them?"
'Certainly. What is more, sales
would be increased also, and more
men employed to produce them. The
big end of the profits goes to the re-
tail dealers, whereas if the manufac-
turers had their own selling agents
they could we'll afford to sell 500
wheels for $50, yes, and $40, with
good profit. They pay low wages.
Their rents are small, the shops being
generally located in country places.
As mechanic, I know the parts OF q
wheel are not nearly so intricate or
delicate in mechanism as those OF a
sewing machine, yet I am told by
brother mechanics who make sewing
machines that it costs but $ll.75 to
produce q $50 machine for the mar
ket. To produce an $50 bicycle, We
figure it out in the shop that the abso'
lutte cost of manufacture is but trife
over $40. OF course, when as q work.
man on bicycles I give you the cost OF
their production to our bosses, mean
the cost of their manufacture by the
hundreds. The making of bicycles is
generally regarded by mechanics as
the simplest kind of mechanical labor,
with less loss to manufacturers by i'm
perfectly constructed wheels through
bad workmanship than is the case In
the construction of sewing machine
with it's finer mechanism"

A Bar Harbor Summer.

Mount Desert upon which island the
town of Bar Harbor, Me-, is situated,
has been cut nearly in two by the sea,
and the tides rush into the narrow in
let with impetuous force, as if anxious,
at every food to complete its work of
dismemberment. But the solemn peak
of Mount Desert looks down unmoved
upon the fretful sea. The mountain
rises out of the waters as an emblem
of eternal peace and quietude in the
midst of eternal restlessness. 1t is
this close combination of mountain
and ocean that makes the island OF
Mount Desert so inspiring and so
popular a resort. Bar Harbor, where
the summer visitors chiefly gather,
was, until the last decade or two, a
simple, primitive village of fishermen,
and even now the artihciality of its
summer life is mere grating upon
the sturdy parent tree. There is not
much sea bathing at Bar Harbor. The
surf is too violent and the water too
cold and the shore too abrupt for the
favorite pastime of more southerly re-
sorts. The days are passed in rowing
and yachting, and in climbing over
cliffs for the wonderful views of the
mountain and the sea. And these days
pass quickly, as does the Bar Harbor
summer. 1t is intense and merry
while it lasts, but before the middle Of
September it is dead. In October
icicles begin to form on the cliffs, and
Bar Harbor goes to sleep. A goodly
proportion of those to whom it has
extended its hospitality have gone to
Ienox, the autumn social Mecca in
the Berkshire Hills, or are reveling in
the elories of the White Mountains
