eyes depend on the regularity with which
its vision is directed to set objects. When
a child under a year old is set twisting
and turning its head, by multiple and va
ried sights and colors, one set of optic
muscles are overstrained and the child
becomes what is commonly known as
cross-eyed.
There are many other dangers" said
DIR. Newton, in conclusion, "to which the
child is subjected when taken out on a
wheel. The practice is one attended with
frightful results, and should be stopped
at once"
This should be enough to warn every
parent and the fond and doting uncles and
big brothers against a repetition Of what
has become with them a common prac-
tice.
The Scientific American Of September
30. 1868. had a description Of a velocipede
race in Paris, which came off early in
the month, and 1t might be interesting
reading for the professionals of to-day
The purse was 1000 francs and the con
testants were six Americans and six
Frenchmen. All kinds Of velocipedes
were permitted, but nearly all riders used
the two-wheeIed kind. Two laps consti-
tuted the distance, and no rider was al
lowed to touch the ground with his feet,
and he was not permitted TO head to
the rear" This means that the rider
could not prevent himself from falling

the roads about the city. The shells are
laid in little spots all over the roads, both
the Thunderbolt and White Bluff The
shells are not rolled, but are left to be

who patronize the roads, and especially

One Of the new wrinkles in the bicycle
trade Is the hickory handle-bar. Several
Savannah riders are using them and are
loud in their praise. Others say they
don't take much stock in them. They are
light and springy and give so much rs
to cause a feeling of insecurity at first.
But their great advantage is their SPRING
mess, which greatly reduces the continu-
Gus shock which is communicated through
the hands and arms of the rider to the
whole body when on rough road. In
this respect 1t is more restful than the
rigid metal bar of present style But tine
hickory is said to warp and crack, when
is a drawback.

A few days later Stora remarked to
her husband: .'I was on the tower to-
day and was astonished and gcieved to
find how little land we have It is not
enough that you should be a lord. You
must have a kingdom. You must be
king"
''What extravaganza" cried the fish
erman. "Never, never will permit it. !"
If you do not wish to be king, . re-
piled Stora in a resolute tone, Il never
theless am determined to be queen, and
desire you to go and explain my wish

legations to you, to the powerful magi-

man. "Hel already been wonderfully
generous with US. 1 do not wish to irri-
tate and tire him -
But the ambitious Stor; insisted, beg
ged and threatened and the poor fisher
man again gave way to her infexibla
will. The fish looked upon him in pity,
saying sadly, "This time also the wish
of your wife is granted. -
In place Of the lordly chateau there
was grand palace with a magnificent
facade and four imposing towers. A
marble stairway covered with rich car
pet led to the first floor, to the reception
room where the ministers, generals and
courtiers were congregated and where
Stora sat ON golden throne, all ermine
mantle about her and crown Of dia-
monds Oh her head.
FINALLY said she enthusiastically
to her husband, ''here is burst Of for
tune, here is power, here is happiness
There is nothing more could wish. :"
"God be praised he fervently re-
piled.
A few moments later, with grave
air, she took him by the hand, drawing
him into the embrasure Of a window
that she might talk to him unobserved,
and said to him, II am we'll satisfied
that I am queen, am contented with
the respect Of my ministers and the
tranquility Of my subjects, but some
times the sun rises too late; sometimes
the moon is too late, and sometimes the
wind whistles and blows in manner
that inconvenience me greatly. I wish
to govern them according to my pleas
ure. The fairy fish can refuse you moth,
ing He must grant me this one addi-
tional favor. Il will be the last. y
The peaceful fisherman was stupcfied.
He could not believe she spoke seriously
But when she, in resolute manner,
repeated her demand he declared he
would never take part in any such III,
sanity.
But, alas, the poor man had not the
courage to resist the headstrong will OF
his companion. After violent protesta
tions he again acquiesced
He went in fear and trembling to per
form his strange mission. This time the
fish regarded him coldly and said to hin
in formidable voice:
''This is enough. Your wife is insane.
and you are an imbecile. You will nc
longer have either chateau or lands. II
pity will give you back your ancient
cottage. You deserve no more -
AS the fairy fish disappeared beneath
the waters the fisherman turned home
ward with bowed head to find his wife
dressed in wretched rags and sitting
upon the doorsill of their old cabin, la
menting their lost wealth. h.-Translatee
