Most Wheels Are overoiled.

So many bicyclists have been observed
suffering from clOgged chains that a
word Of advice may with propriety be
repeated: Oil the chain-nothing is
more necessary, but be sure not to have
it wet. Each link should be thoroughly
fabricated, and then the chain should be
rubbed dry. No amount of rubbing, it
should be remembered, can remove the
oil from the parts between the links,
where it is needed, and not a particle of
oil IS required on the exterior surface.
The drier that is the better. The oil,
if exposed, picks up and holds dust and
adds greatly to the friction. Tie same
advice applies to all oiling. If so much
is put in the bearings that some over
flows and 1t is not wiped off, dust will
gather at the spot, and even in the best
made bearings some Of it will almost
certainly work into the balls and make
trouble. And even if it does not get so
far the lunches of dust so accumulated
detract from the appearance of an other
wise well grOOmed machine and render
the cleaning after run twice as diff
cult as it need be. The fact is that more
wheels are Overoiled than underoiled.
Carrying canary" as the wheel
men" call riding with a dry bearing
that screeches, is not half so common as
a dust buried bearing. OF course, of the
two, the latter is preferable, but no rid
er need have either. New York Post

An Elephant That Used to Play Clever
Trick on Visitors.

An Elephant That Used to Play a Clever
Trick on Visitors.
The elephant at the Jardin des
Plantes at Paris used to play his visit
ors IA trick which could not have been
thought of but by an animal of much
intelligence. His house opened upon an
inclosure called the Elephants park,
containing a pond, in which he would
lay himself under the water, concealing
every part Of him except the very end
of his trunk-a mere speck that would
hardly be noticed by stranger to the
animals habits.
A crowd would assemble around the
inclosure, and, not seeing him in it,
would watch in expectation that he
would soon issue from the house. But
while they We're gazing about a copious
sprinkling Of water would fall upon
them, and ladies and gentlemen, with
their fine bOnnets and coats, would run
for shelter under the trees, looking up
at the clear sky and wondering whence
such shower cOulG come.
Immediately afterward, however, they
would see the elephant rising slowly
from his bath, evincing. as it seemed,
an awkward JOY at the trick that he
had played. In the course Of time his
amusement became generally known,
and the moment the water began to rise
from his trunk the spectators would
take flight, at which he appeared ex-
ceedingly delighted, getting up as fast
as he could to see the hustle he had
caused -Pittsburg Dispatch.

COLLAR Bands.

The collar bands ON the new gowns
are one Of the special points of decora-
tion, and frills of some sort are invaria-
bly, set in on the edge to stand up
around the neck, commencing a little
distance apart on either side of the
front. They are made of knife plated
silk, ribbon, lace or chiffon, and one
very effective trimming is lace in van
dyke points. outlined with tiny ruche
of colored ribbon and gathered into the
neck. Plain velvet collars, with plait-
ings of ribbon set in fan shape at the
back, are very pretty, and collars made
Of bias folds of light velvet or satin,
with narrow, black, pearl edged ribbon
edging each fold, are another fancy

Some people think money is a greatef
power than love. oh What a mistake
See how the great money kings are con-
trolled by the little boy Cupid See how
the great soldiers and men of power are
twisted around his little fingers
woman's most precious possession is
the capacity for awakening pure and noble
love. More potent than wit OF intellect is
the womanly capacity for happy wifehood
and motherhood.
A woman who is weak or diseased in the
special organism of her sex Is deprived of
the power and prestige which naturally be-
long to her Such troubles are not a ne
cessity. Perfect health and strength of the
feminine organism is insured by proper
care and the aids afforded by enlightened
medical science. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
Bcription cures all weaknesses aud diseases
of wonan's special organism.
For nearly 80 years DR.. Pierce has been
chief consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo,
n. Y. No other physician has had a more
extensive practice or greater success in the
treatment OF women's diseases. No other
such perfect and scientific remedy for these
ailments has ever been devised. It has re-
stored health, strength and womanly power
to tens Of thousands of women.

CLOTHING AN ARMY.
1t Costs Great Britain Over $4,000, 900 to
Dress Its Soldiers,

1t Costs Great Britain Over $1,000, 900 to
Dress It's Soldiers.
1t costs the British government So
$50, 900 annually for clothing furnished
its army all over the world. Each of
the foreign possessions, however, has to
| pay back to certain extent the amount
which tho uniforms of the troops sta
| toned or sent there has cost, and this
entails no end Of complicated bookkeep-
ing.
India, for instance, pays for the cloth
ing of its own troops, and also for the
uniforms of the men which England
sends there The latter item is about
$675, 600 annually. On the other hand,
when "a regiment comes home from In
dia. that country has to be paid back
the full value of the clothes they wear.
The government sells old and worm
out articles to the secondhand dealers.
who, by the way, usually accumulate
fortunes in short time. The value of
castoff clothes so disposed of is about
$40, 900 yearly. The scraps remaining
after the uniforms have been cut out
also bring IA matter Of $50, 900 annual
about $1,000, 600. thus reducing the to-
tai cost of clothing the army to less than
$4,000, 900 year
The best quality of everything is used
in the manufacture of uniforms. In
fact, it is said they are too good for du-
rable wear. A huge.factory in Pimlico,
London, makes large share of the fur
nishings, but vast quantities of foot and
head gear are bought ready made. Boots
and leggings, for example, cost 81, 1867
600 and headdresses $3.50, 600.
The thousands Of miles of flannel,
linen, calico, cloth, velvet, ETC., the
millions Of buttons, the tons of cotton
wool, the billions of yards of sewing
cotton, that are made into smart tunics,
| tidy trousers and warm shirts cost 81,
4s5, 900. The wages paid for making
these up are over Sc, 600 week. Some
of the salaries paid for this branch are
excellent for England. The inspector of
clothing receives SO, 900 and his assist
ants So, 750 apiece, and so on down the
long list
But all this vast expense is probably
much less than the annual outlay that
France or Germany makes for keeping
its soldiers smart i'll appearance in times
of peace. In Germany, for example, ev-
cry man i'll the army is said to have
four complete suits Of military clothing.

CANINE FRIEND IN NEED.
How the Greyhound Rescued the Little
Spaniel.

Spaniel.
Talk about the sagacity of dogs"
remarked Jenkins as he scornfully sur
veyed the records of the good deeds
done by CANNES in general. "Why, 1
saw something one day which beats the
wOrld-something which, i'll addition
to proving the reasoning power of dogs,
showed also that some of them at least
possess a great capacity for affection for
their own kind. A friend of mine up
town owns several dogs, among the lot
being a magnificent greyhound and
diminutive spaniel, the two dogs, not
withstanding the disparity in size, be-
ing warm friends One summer day the
dog catcher wagon was making the
rounds and, as usual, was missing the
ours while corralling the animals which
are well taken care of. 1t happened that
my friend S front gate had been left open,
and the two dogs mentioned escaped
into the street just as the wagon turned
the corner. There was great cry on
the part of the catchers, who grasped
their nets and made a scramble for the
little spaniel, not seeming to like the
idea Of tackling the big hound. The
poor little spaniel realized her danger
and attempted to escape. She few like
one possessed in every direction, only to
be headed off by the men with the nets
and a score Of small boys She finally
halted, painting, in the middle of the
street, and one Of the men approached
her with his net. 1t seemed that the lit
tie things doom was sealed.
Suddenly there was fierce bark,
and the big greyhound came leaping into
the crowd, scattering the small boys
and compelling the eatchers to take to
the wagon. The hound reached the side
Of the spaniel and, taking in the situa-
tion, reached down, grasped his wee
companion in his capacious mouth and
was off down the street like shot He
didn't stop for the gate, but with a
great, graceful leap, was over the fence,
and then, gently -depositing the spaniel
ON the ground. stood wagging his tail.

Scorchinu and Reading.

The man who gets so interested in his
newspaper on the street cars that he is
oblivious to women who stand and men
who climb over him has not endeared
himself to his kind; but Kansas City
has produced even a greater nuisance in
a bicyclist who reads as he rides. It
would seem to the casual observer that
the bicycle offered sufficient advantages
to inaict OF receive accidents even when
the rider kept his eyes open and his wits
alert. This rider is described as going
scorching along with his attention ap-
parently absorbed by what he is reading,
while terrified pedestrians climb the tel
ephone poles and seek such other places
Of safety as they can find. A few days
ago another rider followed him, hoping
to be in at the death; but the literary
bicyclist rode on, reading congenial
tales of battle, murder and sudden death,
until he turned down a quiet street,
where he folded his paper, put it in his
pocket and coasted safely into his own
yard. New Orleans Picayune.

George Francis Trains Peculiarities.

George Francis Train 8 hair is little
whittier and his eccentricities a little
more pronounced, and he has even in
creased the size Of the bouquet that be
wears pinned to the lapel of his white
coat. He is the most picturesque char
acter to be found in Madison square,
New York, on warm day. It was a
good many years ago when George
Francis Train announced his deternina-
ton to shake hands no more and ex-
pressed the opinion that the friendship
Of children was worth more than that
Of their elders. He has cultivated the
acquaintance of the children who play
in Madison square, and every one Of
them knows him to be good fellow.
People who see him regularly have
come to look upon his eccentricitles
with little interest, but he is one Of the
sights Of Broadway to visitors who
know anything about his career. He is
not averse to notoriety and willingly
talks with any one who addresses him
