Priests ON RIcycIes.

'There are a great many priests to be
seen riding the bicycle about New
York" said New Yorker, "and none of
them has ever looked dignifed
enough to make it clear why priests
should be forbidden to ride the wheel
by bishops in other dioceses. That pro-
hibtion came first from Paris, where
the clergy were prohibited from riding
wheels because they wore cassoeks and
were compelled to ride women's wheels
In order 10 protect their skirts. That
was easy enough TO understand, and it
may be that a similar reason brought
about the action of the Montreal bishop
who has forbidden the priests of his
diocese to ride wheels. But of the
many priests who have been seen
around New York on wheels, there are
none of them that ever seemed out OF
place or undignified."

FEEDING THE CHILD.
The Food Has Much TO Do with the
Tcrnncrn mont.

The Food Has Much 10 DO with the
Temperament.
That imperfect nutrition is the
cause of much of that emotional
estrangement in childhood which is
called irritability, ugliness, viciousness,
or something of that sort, has been sat
isfactorily evidenced to the writer as
the result of a number of observations
which he has been able TO make upon
young children. The following case is
typical Of many others: IL was
well-formed child at birth, and con-
tinued 70 develop normally during her
first five months. Throughout this time
she slept very well, and for the most
part seemed happy and eontented. The
constant expression on her face
showed healthy feeling, and she rarely
made n disturbance. At about the
fifth month a change seemed 20 grad
ually come over her. She did not
sleep so well; the expression on her
face showed less happiness and con-
tentment, and by the sixth month she
could be called an irritable and peevish
child. She who had been previously an
especially happy child did not now
smile often; and the things which or
dinarily attract children of that age
seemed to be of little moment to her
Some member OF the family was now
kept busy much Of the time endeavor-
ing to soothe her troubled spirit. This
state of affairs continued until about
the eighth month, when it was decided
TO make a change in the diet. She was
given a food rich in materials 10 nour-
ish the nervous system, and within a
week it was observed by all who knew
her that there was a marked improve
ment in her temperament. After two
weeks of proper nourishment she had
regained her former restfulness, sleep
ing peacefully a good portion of the
time; and gradually the expression of
irritability and moodiness disappeared.
Her face would now light up as former
" with pleasant smiles whenever any
one she knew was about, and once
more she appeared TO every one as a
very good-feeling, happy child.-Prof.

LAURADA WILL Be SOLD.
POSITIVE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT
SHE WILL BE TAKEN AND USED
IN KLONDYKE TRADING.


Announcement was made yesterday
that the notorious steamer Baurada
had been sold to a syndicate, repre-
sented by an agent in New York, to be
run in the Klondyke trade, and that
the final papers Of transfer would soon
be recorded at the Philadelphia and
Wilmington custom houses.
Persons representing the steamer
visited the custom house several days
ago and a mortgage on her was salts
fed. The vessel then stood in the name
of the two daughters. Laura and Ada,
Of John d. Hart, for whom the vessel
is named.
According to the agreement Of t.
sale the purchasers pay the bills for
provisions and for repairing against
he vessel, as well as the bond placed
On her by the government, which has
her under seizure at the Harlan and
Hollingsworth Company's shipyard, for
alleged violation of the neutrality laws
by taking an expedition to Cuba.
United States District Judge Brad
ford several days ago issued an order,
returnable next Monday, when all par
ties opposing the sale Of the Laurada
by the government shall appear and
show cause why she should not be sold.
Should the court decree that rhe YES
sci is to be sold The rumOr about the
boat being purchased by a Klondyke
party may be correct, but the vessel
cannot be purchased until after The
Laurada has been sold by the marshal.

A laughable but rather embarrassing

the purpose of meeting his wife at a
certain counter. Sure enough. there

Just like the woman he was after.
Her back was turned and no one was
near her, so he quietly approached, took
her by the arm and said in a voice of
simulated severity: "Well. here you
are. spending my money as usual. eh?"
The face turned quickly toward him
was not his wife's; it was that of an
acrid, angry, keen-eyed woman ofabout
so years, who attracted the attention of
everybody in that part of the shop by
saying in a loud and shrill voice:

"Wen. just amt your wife. nor no

no more, but made his way out of the
shop amid the filters and sly chuckles
OF those who had witnessed his con-

Guilty, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch,
has now been amply met by the use
of electricity. The shearing sheds are
adiacent'to the terminus of the street
railway company's line, and the troll
lev current has been utilized to drive
the shearing machines. The installa-
ton is of the simplest possible de-
scription. A street railway motor was
taken from one of the cars and the
armature pinion was replaced by a
small pulley, which was belted TO the
main overhead shaft. So little power
was needed that two rheostats had to
be put in the circuit to keep the speed
down.
The foreman of the shearers, after
only five minutes instruction, took full
charge of the motor, giving it all the
necessary attention in oiling, starting
and stopping. After the machines were
started the maintaining of a uniform
speed was easy and within half an hour
the 20 machines were ripping off the
heeces at a rate which broke the rec
ord. The power was transmitted to the
shears. which resemble horse clippers
in their operation, through universal
joints. In three weeks 16,1s4 sheep
were sheared by the one motor, aver

ORIGIN OF THE CAKE WALK.

Lost It's Significance.
The cake walk proper had its origin
among the French negroes of Louis
lana more than a century ago, says an
exchange. There is little doubt that
it is an offshoot of some of the old
French country dances. 1t resembles
several of them in form. From New
Orleans it spread over the entire south
and thence to the north. IL was found
of convenience TO the plantation ne
groes. They were not welded by IL
cense, and it was seldom that the serv-
ices of a preacher were called in. At
q cake walk man might legitimately
show his preference for n woman and
thus publicly claim her for wife. In
effect the cake walk was not different
from the old Scotch marriage, which re-
quired only public acknowledgement
from the contracting parties. So this
festival became in some sense a wooing,
an acceptance or rejection and q cere-
mony. This explains its popularity
with the blacks, outside of its beauties,
with the accompaniment of music.
which is competent at all times TO COM
mand negro support. Cake walking has
improved. as do most things that are
constantly practiced. 1t has lost its
old significance in the south. Negroes
now get married, when they marry at
all. in white folks fashion. 1t has be-
come. however, a pantomimic dance.
Properly performed, it is a beautiful
