DROP HANDLE BARS.
Physician Discovers n New Danger Co b.
cycle Riders.

A new danger to cylists has been
brought to light by the statement of DR..
Flagg of Rockaway, N. j., that an at
tack of paralysis which laid up Fred
erick Gallagher, while he was on a
wheeling trip, was brought on by too
much riding ON bicycle provided with
d1op handle bars.
Gallagher is young man living in
the outskirts of Morristown, aud on
Sunday morning started on a trip to
Green Pond, 20 miles from Morristown,
with Jesse Ergenzinger and William
Lapine as companions.
They are all good wheelmen, and
during the early hours rode rapidly.
Gallagher's wheel had drop Eandle bars
the kind that scorchers favor-and ON
an easy stretch of ground he could easily
outdistance his companions.
He was feeling very well until within
q short distance of Mount Hope, when
he remarked to the others that he felt
dizzy. A few minutes later he lost con-
troll of his wheel and then fell to the
ground
Ergenzinger and Lapine assisted Gal
lagher to Rockaway, which is near
Mount Hope, and took him to the Office
of DR.. Flagg. They told the physician
how their companion had been affected,
and he declared that the young man
was suffering from paralysis, brought
on by riding constantly on wheel with
drop handle bars.
Gallagher was brought to his home
and is recovering from the attack. He
is one of the best wheelmen in the town,
and there is a great deal of talk among
cyclists about his illness. Nearly all the
fast riders there use the drop handle

and proved to a curious world that a
court fool in his household was super

John now became mixed up in fra

have been justified in giving him a Ro-

knows.

salary and use Of the rectory John re-

at Innocent III, the pontif, closed the
churches and declared a general lock-

Philip united with the pope, and to-
gether they raised the temperature for

him out of the city and send him to
school, so that he may develop his re-
markable faculties. Although Edmond
is too poor to ride the bicycle, yet he has
written some good verses on the subject.
Here is one of them:
IN THE GOODNESS OF AN EVENING.
And the sun across the heavens
His allotted span has run
Oh, the sweetest hour of twilight
Then TO mount the mouthless steed,
Down the lane of summer verdure
Like specter gaunt, to speed;
Down the road where blushing roses,
Loveliest red or daintiest white,
Close their pearly petals gently
As they seem to say coed night,
And the lowing Of the cattle
Comes from DER the distant hill,
And the lark above the pastures
Its impassioned song doth thrill
Edmond's success shows what grit
and perseverance can do even when ev-
erything is against a boy. Chicago

A GIRL STRIKE LEADER.
Lottle Persky. One Of the New York strik-
ing Clothing Makers.

Lottle Persky. One Of the New York strik-
ing Clothing Makers.
One of the most interesting young
women on the east side at the present
time is Lottie Persky, the 1s-year-old
leader of the girl clothing makers who
are now on strike in New York. Miss
Persky is O Russian Hebrew, a worker
in the shops herself. She is scarcely
five feet tall, has wealth of red hair
and more sound common sense than
most girls of her age. She led the girl
strikers last year, and, although she
will not be designated as leader in
the present trouble with the contractors,
she admits that she is taking an active
part in the effort to secure ten hour
day for herself and her fellow workers.
~ am not an agitator, she said.
"No, and I am not a modern Joan Of
Arc, as they call me. l am simply
working girl who is striking with other
working girls against state of things
which, if known to the world, would
bring us universal sympathy. There are
a dozen of us who do our best to run
this strike properly, and all the rest
contribute ideas, so that in reality we
are all leaders. We do not hope to gain
much by this strike. If we are two
weeks out, we cannot make up that loss
in year. But we have to strike. We
are forced to it. Each year they tack a
few more hours on to our working day.
They want to bring US to l5hour day.
We strike to stop the descent, not to
improve our present condition. We are
more to be pitied than people think,
"Let me tell you little incident
which illustrates the feeling the men
who are crushing us have toward us.
There were number of girls-I was
one of them-working in rear tene-
ment. They sat by window on the Sec
ond floor looking down on the court be-
low, and working away with might and
main. A band was playing in the street,
and the strains came weakly through
the alley TO the workers. 1t was rain
ing. One girl dared to protest against
the continual work.
"'What do you want?' demanded the
boss.
ga little sunshine; a chance to go in
the parks said the girl boldly.
The parks?' roared the man. What
can you get in the parks? You get mu-
sic; you have that here now. You get a
fountain; you have water falling before
your eyes now.
THAT was his argument, and he talk
ed as though we were reveling in lux
uries. Can you blame us for protestingf
No, you must pity US, and so would the
world if it knew"
Lottie is heart and soul with her less
intelligent sisters. She lives at s Will
lett street, and there are always a lot
of girl clothing makers to be found in
her humble rooms. She first came into
prominence three years ago as the first
woman delegate to the Central Labor
union New York Sun.

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
A BOY POET.
He Lives In London, and His Verses Have
Made Him Some Good Friends.


He Lives In London. and His Verses Have
Made Him Some Good Friends.
There is boy over in London who
writes such good poetry that all Of the
newspapers are talking about him. He
is only 10 years old, and he was born
and brought up among the soap and
candle factories Of the great city. His
father is an uneducated Irishman, who
lost all of his money years ago and who
has been compelled to work for his liv-
ing in the factories ever since. Edmond
Curtis, for that is the young poets
name, has been employed since he was
able to do anything in O gutta percha
mandatory. But in spite of the long
hours and the hard work the boy has
found time for reading and writing his
loved verses. And he kept at it so stead
lily that not long ago his work came to
the notice of the editor of q weekly
paper called London, and since then
many Of the literary men of London
have read Edmond's verses and praised
them.
He is a bright, gray eyed boy with a
fresh, clear complexion and modest
air. His new friends are going to get

FORTUNE IN AN ORGAN.
An Old Melodeon, when Opened, Found
Stuffed With Bonds.

Stuffed With Bonds.
Mrs. Charlotte Edison, who died at
Mortified, VT, q few days ago at the
age of 20, had for many years lived the
life of recluse in little unpainted
house, and seldom if ever was neigh
Dor permitted to enter its doors
For her own wants she practiced an
economy which was misery, yet she
contributed to the church Of her prefer
ence literally, and many poor families
have been the recipients of the necessa-
ries of life from her hands, but We're
never aware whence these articles came.
Upon learning Of her death, G. S. En-
cry and wife Of Chelsea, distant rela-
tives, went to see that the funeral ar
rangemonts were properly conducted.
In company with Undertaken Fletcher,
Mr.. Emery was at the house, and an
old fashioned melodeon attracted their
attention. 1t was decided it could be
made useful in furnishing music at the
funeral.
The lid was found locked and was
finally forced open, when they were
profoundly surprised to find that the old
instrument had been used as a safe.
When the lid was raised, it revealed
package of government bonds amount
ing to nearly $l3, 600. OF this sum
50, 600 were coupon bonds and the bal
ance registered bonds. Several hundred
dollars in gold, silver and paper money
were also found hidden about the house

For BOYS Who Swim.

A physician, talking last week to the
editor, said: Advise all boys who are
looking forward to swimming every day
this summer that in fresh water 20
minutes should be the limit of time for
the daily bath. Boys think because they
feel all right at the moment that it is
proper to stay in the water as long as
they like This is a great mistake. They
do not feel the i'll effects at the time,
but afterward 1 have recently lost a
young patient, lad Of whom l was
very fond, whose death was directly due
to imprudence in bathing last summer.
Not always fatal results ensue, but more
often than boys are aware very serious
consequences follow L know Of boy
who has permanent affection of the
hip, which has famed him for life, that
was produced by persistently remaining
too long in the water. The many cases
of fever which the early fall months de-
velop are largely accounted for in the
same way. Swimming is fine sport
there's none better-but it should be en-
joyed nationally and not abused. -

Cows That Could Count,

Crows are not the only animals that
can count Cows know something about
arithmetic too. In Wisconsin there
lived farmer who kept large herd Of
intelligent Jerseys in a back pasture.
Once a week, on Sunday morning, it
was his custom to give them salt at the
gate at the end Of the lane. And regu-
larly on Sunday mornings the cows
came down and waited for their treat.
On no other mornings did they appear,
nor did they seem to make mistake.
How could they have known that it was
Sunday morning, or salt morning I'M

Field Experiments with Manure.

From the Canada experiment farms
comes the report that in a comparison
of 10 tons of rotted barnyard manure
with the same weight of fresh manure,
the larger yield was obtained by using
fresh manure on wheat, barley, oats and
turnips; mangel wurzels and sugar beets
afforded "a larger yield with rotted ma
nure, and with corn, carrots and pota-
toes the results were contradictory.
