olutions of the driving wheel for each
full turn of the pedals. This bicycle is
sure to excite considerable interest
among the chainless cranks.
In Europe wheelmen devote little at
tention to the reduction of weight in
bicycles, but the prospectus Of bicycle
recently made in Denmark shows that
a road machine weighing eleven pounds
has been built. The frame is construct
ed on the cantilever principle, and con-
sists of twenty-one perfect triangles.
This idea is hardly likely to gain popu-
lar favor.-New York Sun.

The Killing of Mormons Joseph and
Hyrum Smith at Carthage, Ill

The removal of the missionary de-
partment of the Mormon Church from
Kansas City to Chicago calls attention
to one Of the great tragedies in the an
nas of Illinois. Over half century
.agoJoseph Smith, the Mormon prophet,
and his brother, Hyrum, were murder
ed In the Hancock County Jail, In Car
image. Perhaps no single crime ever
perpetrated in the United States up to
that time was Of such sensational
character and attracted as much atten-

The demand for chainless bicycles
has resulted in the creation of various
devices for the manufacture Of this

COURTESY TOWARD WOMEN.

London Far Beyond New York In Reoog.
milton Of Her Efforts.
The international convention, recent
lv held in London, of women interest
ed in the temperance work, was nota-
BILE demonstration of the deepening in
terest which women are taking in all
reformatory movements. Probably,
says Leslie's Weekly, there has never
been assembled in Great Britain gath
ering so truly representative OF the
Christian and philanthropic sentiment
of the enlightened women of the world
as this, in which one hundred and fifty
American delegates actively partici-
pated. One of the striking incidents OF
the convention was that, on the open
ing Sunday, two hundred London pull
pits were occupied by women. But,
notable as the gathering was, the Lon
don press seems to have given it little
consideration, and the notice bestowed
upon it was in some cases great deal
more insulting than commendatory IN
character. One conservative journal
characterized the convention as COM
posed of s'blatant female agitators to
whom taste and propriety are empty
terms" When the Christian Endeavor-
ers swarmed down upon this metropolis
by the ten thousand, some two or three
wears ago, the daily newspapers were
as much surprised and puzzled by the
demonstration as the London journals
seem to have been by the women's
white ribbon gathering, but New York

LET THE DOG LIVE.
1t Helps the Doctor to Toll Whether Tos
Will Go Had.

1t Helps the Doctor to Toll Whether You
Will Go Had.
"If you are bitten by dog, don't
kill the dog, but take every precaution
to let him live for few days at least"
Prof. Logan, chief of the Pasteur in
stitute in Chicago, made this oracular
statement to reporter for the Tribune,
and he is supposed to be an authority
on ''dogs that bite and what to do with
them"
''It is great mistake people make"
he said, "to start in at once to kill a
dog that has bitten them or have it
killed for them. It has been proven
scientifically and is admitted now by
all physicians who are posted that
hydrophobia is not a spontaneous dis
ease and cannot be given to person
by a dog bite unless the dog is mad
when it causes the wound. The dogs
condition, if it be mad, will be mani
tested within two days. or two weeks
at the latest. BY permitting it to live,
therefore, the physicians can tell def
initely whether the person bitten is
liable to have hydrophobia. If the
dog goes mad within that time they
know the person bitten may be inocu-
lated with the same dread disease and
may have the same fate. II the dog
does not 90 mad then there is no fear
of hydrophobia and the wound can be
treated as any other wound would be.
By killing the dog you destroy the
chance of certainty as to the fate OF the
person bitten and leave the imagina-
ton full rein to fear the worst results
when it might have been possible to
know in advance that hydrophobia was
impossible.
'Of course" continued the doctor,
"there are exceptions TO this rule that
will suggest themselves to persons.
When a dog is so vicious that to leave
it alive is to endanger other people
then the first duty would be to destroy
it unless it could be kept carefully Sc
cluded where the possibility of harm
would be removed. But even in such
a case where the dog is killed it should
be done by physician, who should
keep portion Of the brain, by which
can be determined whether the dog
had rabies or not"

WEALTH Lert ~ TRUST.

How Far Has the State the Right 70 In
terfere with Wius5
How far the state has right to inter-
fere with the last will and testament OF
an individual is open to good deal OF
doubt; but the discussion of it is apt to
become more and more animated as
time goes on. The general legal theory
is that mans possessions at the time
of his death revert to the common
wealth, and he has within certain limi-
tation the right to indicate in what di-
rections his property shall be divided.
On the strength Of this, says Current
Literature, the creation of trusts to
carry on great fortunes is likely to be
first attacked. A great many OF the
very wealthy nowadays are apt to leave
their fortunes in trust, the larger share
being left to one child in preference to
the rest. Such a trust is in process OF
formation in the case of the James u.
Fair estate in California, as it has been
formed in the cases of such men as Jay
Gould, William II. Vanderbilt and
others in recent years. The tendencies
of these trusts are to keep large fortunes
intact; but the social changes OF the
day see in such accumulations dangers
which the state will be urged to recog-
nize and, if possible, to remedy.
The danger in such vast accumula-
tions lies in the fact that these re-
sources, which would otherwise be
divided up and be of general benefit to
the community, are thus kept intact.
and in danger Of an increase by idle
ness, and by compounding which is
reaching annually more alarming
sum. The assessors have recently told
us that the Gould estate has been val
ued at no less than eighty million dol
lars The Rothschild family in Europe
are computed to be worth, taken to-
gether, no less than two thousand mil
lion dollars, the French branch OF the
noted family being alone estimated
to be worth two hundred mill
lion dollars. At the beginning OF the
century the grandfather Of the present
Rothschilds was a poor man. Fifty
years ago, indeed, the multi-million-
aire was not known in America. To-
day there are over four thousand OF
them. One cannot help wondering
where such vast accumulations will
end

EnelIsh Court Functions.

The unusual number of court func-
tions of one sort and another in Eng
land and the exceptional number
of "drawing-rooms" at Buckingham
palace this year have been the result,
Il is said, of additional activity in Lon
don society. The new order OF things
at Buckingham palace that permits but
two hundred presentations at a draw
ing-room has been the one drawback to
the serenity of London's best society.
Snch an innovation naturally has
caused good deal Of disappointment
to many matrons and maidens whose
names arrived at the lord chamber
lain's after the list of presentations
permitted had been filed up. Inc
numbers of American ladies in par
ticular presented this season has been
smaller than for some years.

safer Than Lightniug Rods.

Each day adds some new virtues to
the long list of those already credited
to the pneumatic. The latest OF these
is that the wheels of bicycle being
encircled by band OF India rubber
and dry air-which is perfect insu-
lator-the rider is completely insulated
from the earth, and, consequently, is
impervious to the attacks OF the elec-
trio fluid. Thus, day by day it becomes
more and more fact that life without
a pneumatic tire is neither safe nor
worth having. AS the chances Of .
man on a bicycle being struck by light
ming have been carefully calculated to
be about one in q billion, says the
Wheel. there will, of course, be some
pessimists who will deny that this
newly discovered virtue OF the pneu-
matte as lightning insulator amounts
to very much.

CATTLE THAT TRAVELLED FAR.

First Live Oxen Shipped from Australia
to England Showed . Small Profit.
The experiment of transporting beef
cattle alive from Australia to London
has Just been made and the result has
been so successful that transportation
of cattle on the hoof is likely to be-
come an important branch OF the car
rying trade between these two far
distant points, says the New York
World.
In the case referred ia seventeen
Australian oxen were received in good
condition after a voyage OF sixty-two
days in duration and about $1,000 miles
in length. At the first glance it seems
impossible that cattle could be trans
ported this distance, being well enough
fed in the meantime to keep them in
good condition, and yet bring a sufii-
cient price to afford the stock raisers
of the antipodes even the smallest mar
gin of profit. The figures showing the
amount of gain are therefore exceed
ingly interesting.
The live stock was purchased at
prices varying from $3.50 to s24. so a
head. The transportation cost s63.O0
each, which included fodder and care.
1t will be noticed that this charge is
about 81 day for the entire voyage.
On their arrival at London the beasts
were disposed of at an average of 500
head. AS their average cost had been
about s22.3 80 in Australia, the transpor-
tation charges would increase this to
nearly ss6 by the time they reached
London, which would bring the aver
age profit head up to little over $40,
or an aggregate of s170 for the trial
lot.
This is sufficiently gratifying, but it
is hoped, when cattle are shipped in
greater numbers and the methods of
caring for them are perfected by ex-
perience, that the cost of Transports
ton would be considerably lessened
and the profits, naturally, increased.
It was remarked in regard to these
seventeen cattle that they stood the
voyage finely and reached London in
much better condition than when they
left their Australian pastures. The
secret of success, it is said, lies princi-
pally in feeding the cattle carefully yet
abundantly, and as they take no exer-
else they cannot help but put on flesh.
