RicYcIes md General Trade

There has been much discussion of late
in business circles and by the trade papers
as to the effect on other trades of the big
boom in bicycles. In a careful and ex-
tended contribution TO this discussion,
made by the New York journal of Com
merce, the estimate is made that the loss
to other trades amounts to SIP, 500, 900
for the year, and yet the journal leaves
out Of its calculation several items that
might with reason have been incor-
porated. 1t has been generally known
that the livery business and the carriage
trade had been seriously hurt, but it has
lately been made known that the demand
for pianos, jewelry, watches and confec.
tionery has fallen of materially. 1t is
stated that less whiskey and lager are
drunk, fewer cigars smoked and fewer
books bought on account of the bicycles.
The theatres complain that they are obliged
to close much earlier in the season because
their patrons prefer wheeling TO seeing
plays. One way of arriving at the finan-
cial effect of the bicycle craze on differ
ent basis than that Of the journal is TO es-
innate the years output of wheels at
1000, 900. AS the average cost of wheels
is about SO, it follows that S75, 900, 600
will be expended this year for wheels, and
is thus diverted from other lines Of trade.
What is gain for bicycle makers is clear
loss TO other business men.

How TO Wash a sweater.

A writer in the League of American
Wheelmen Bulletin gives the following d.
rections for washing a sweater: Fill pail
two-thirds or three-quarters full of cold
water. In extremely cold weather the
water may be tempered a little, but let it
be cold, and not warm. Take a cake of
good laundry soap-any good soap that
hasn't an excess of alkali will answer the
purpose-and rub between the hand in the
water for a moment. Put in teaspoonful
of ammonia and stir well. Soak the gar
ment in this liquid for Is minutes or half
an hour, and then souse and knead with
the hands so as TO squeeze out the dirt,
but not vigorously enough to impair the
garments shape. Turn inside out and re-
peat the process. Pour off the water which
now contains all the dirt that was in the
garment, and rinse very thoroughly in sew
eral waters cold water of course-using
the same motions as before. Lift the gar
ment from the rinsing water and lay it
over line or wooden frame to drip and
dry. When dry turn right side out and
the job is done. If the garment is one you
care anything about do the work yourself.
Don't dry it in the sun or in the wind, or
before the fire, but under a shed or in a
basement.

A GUILFoRD LAWSUIT.

The lawsuit of Chas. Squires VS.. Alfred
Hicks, who lives on j. Henry Pratt's Gull
ford farm, was tried at Guilford Tuesday.
From the evidence of the plaintiff it APP
peared that E. =. Squires, son of the
plaintiff, had occupied a tobacco barn on
Pratt's farm and used it for cutting and
storing wood; that soon after his lease ex-
pired in May he drew away nearly all the
wood, leaving only some coarse blocks,
aside from some sawdust and chips. The
plaintiff claimed that Z. p. Squires gave
him the blocks, chips and sawdust and
that when he went to draw them away he
was forbidden by the defendant, Hicks, to
do so, and after he had drawn away two or
three loads Hicks nailed up the barn. The
stuff remaining he claimed to be worth
from IS to S12, for which he brought suit
in trover. Z. P Squires corroborated the
statement of his father as to his having
given him the property. The defendant
claimed that when e. p. Squires drew
away his last load he said he would make
him, Hicks, a present of what was left,
and therefore Hicks took possession and
began to occupy the shed. j. Henry Pratt
testified that he met L. p. Squires when
he was drawing away his last load and
that Squires told him that he had got all
of the stuff he wanted and had given the
rest to Hicks. There were some embellish-
ments in the testimony not here given, but
these are the main facts. The verdict was
for the defendant. Waterman, Martin q
Hit for the plaintiff; G. G. Fits for the
defendant.
The case was tried at the Broad Brook
House before Justice S. ii. Sherman and
jury.

The supreme court OF Illinois has handed
down decision sustaining the action of
Bloomington druggist, who refused TO sell
soda water TO a negro on account of his
color. The court holds that the selling of
soda water does not constitute the furnish
idg Of lodging amusement or meals as pro-
vided for in the act.
A Chicago despatch says that, as result
of Judge Wheeler's decision, affirming the
legality of the Joint Traffic Association
agreement, 1t is said similar organization
on the joint traffic plan is to be brought
into being at once until the whole railroad
territory of the country is under such con-
troll, the new governing power being the
capitalists, bankers and security holders of
roads not financially independent"
San Francisco has taken measures TO
keep its milk supply free from possible tu-
berculosis contamination. Every COW with
in the city limits is to be subjected TO the
tuberculin tests by officials appointed by
the board of health and those that are sus-
pected TO have contracted disease are TO be
promptly killed. No milk from the subur-
ban districts will be permitted to enter the
city for sale unless this same test has been
applied to the herds supplying it. 1t would
be wise if other cities should adopt similar
precautions. Pittsburg, Allegheny and
Minneapolis have already done so. The
enormous death rate caused by phthisis and
other tuberculous diseases would be greatly
diminished if this test were made universal.

why ArmenIans Are Massacred.

If were to enumerate the causes which
are responsible for the nti-Christian feel
ing in Turkey would not hesitate TO say
that the religious animosities between
Moslems and Christians are most to be
blamed. The oriental Christian, / am sor-
nv to say, is as intoerant of Mohammedan-
ism as the Moslem is of Christianity. But
the Moslem is in power and can give ex-
preston to his bate, while the Christian is
weak and cannot strike back. 1t is true,
however, that Christianity as a religion is
more susceptible to the "Zeit-Geist' than
Mohammedanism and this fact must in
fluence, as it has certainly done, all the
nations that have professed it. Mohammed
gave to his followers a sword, Christ gave
to his disciples a cross. Christianity, too,
has been guilty of persecution in the past,
but the progress of the ages has elevated,
broadened and sweetened it, while NOLAN
mechanism continues in spirit and in doc
trine just what it was almost 14O0 years
ago. From the mosques in Cairo and Con-
stantinople the faithful pray to Allah TO
"destroy the infdels, make their children
orphans, defile their abodes and give them
and their families and their households
and their women, and their possessions as
booty to the Moslems." Several passages
in the Koran directly instigate the Moham-
medans to exterminate the unbelievers:-
"Verily the worst cattle in the sight of
Allah are those who are obstinate infdels
"When We encounter the unbelievers,
strike off their heads until ye have made a
great slaughter among them.
"Oh, prophet, wage war against the I'M
believers and be severe unto them, for their
dwelling shall be in hell.
"Oh, true believers, wage war against
such infidels as are near you; and let them
find severity in you"
gladly admit that there are passages of
ravishing beauty in the Moslem scriptures,
but those which l have quoted exert a
greater hold upon the ignorant and fanati-

THE ST. LOUIS TORNADO.
A Former BrattlebOrO Woman Writes
of Her Experiences.

of Her Experiences.
Mrs. j. NJ. Fisher of st. Louis writes of
the tornado in a letter to a Brattleboro
friend: at seems miraculous that more
lives were not lost, but it is a sight TO make
angels weep-so many houses razed TO the
ground and the inmates found dying or
dead in the debris. AS write can count
from my window ten houses dismantled
and almost torn in two. The house next
to us was badly wrecked in the third story
and everything in the house water soaked.
Lafayette Park looks exactly like battle
field-as though a bomb had exploded in
the midst and torn up or broken down ev-
cry single tree and summer house in that
lovely spot. Ny Mother Fisher very mar
rowly escaped with her life. Every article
of furniture is damaged. Dozens of our
friends are also homeless. Our pretty
church fell in shortly after Mamie MRS.
Fishers daughter) left it with her bride
groom, and the carriage in which she rode
to her cousins house was broken before it
got back to the livery stable. All night
long we sat bolt upright in Mrs. Blatner's
parlors where we went to make little call
after the wedding, only leaving our seats to
fly into the basement to escape threatened
destruction. Every room in her house was
dripping wet with the exception of her
kitchen and one or two chambers, but the
window panes were all broken and we did
not care to risk another blow in the bed
room so there we sat and gazed at each
other, horror stricken. Finally the boys
managed to get to us and tell us of the
well being of part of our family.
