Note what the New York papers say of
the Chase tires:
Boston Herald Aug. Is. 1887.
FAST AS WELL AS sERvICEABLE
Surprising Speed of Chase Tires.
1t is surprising to note the small
amount of knowledge the general public
has of tires and their qualities. There has
been common impression, that a tire
made to give good service on the road
would not be resilient or speedy. That
this is erroneous has been most signally
proven in the special case of the Chase
tire. This tire has been recognized as
the most serviceable and satisfactory road
tire in use this season, particularly on ac-
count of it's durability and comparative
freedom from punctures. 1t is, therefore,
to the general public a rather surprising
evidence of their speed and resiliency to
learn that in his first effort on Aug. A.
Lesna, the European champion, lowered all
American records from IL to 30 miles, and
broke the American hour record on Chase
tires, previously held by Jimmie Michael
thus conclusively proving that Chase tires
were fast and resilient as well as service
able.
There are no other bicycles offered at the
sacrificing price of $40 at least no SIS 1897

This is lower than the manufacturers
can afford to make high grade wheels for

LOST HER ROYAL DIGNITY.
Mother of the Emperor of China Dies In
TIT of Rage.

Mother of the Emperor of China Dies In
TIT of Rage.
Many causes have been mentioned as
re responsible for the death of the mother
Of the emperor Of China. 1t is now re
ported that she succumbed to fit OF
angry rage.
The North China Herald says that the
old lady became furious with rage al
the behavior toward her on the part OF
her sister, the widow of the late em
peror The two ladies had some trouble
i,efore, because the latter had taken the
liberty to reprove the mother of ths
emperor for staying too long in the i'm
perial gardens.
The difficulty became still more pro
nounced when the widow of the late
emperor deprived the emperor's mothe,
of the costly litter which she was in the
habit of using on her excursions to the
imperial gardens.
The emperor's mother was thereb,
compelled to return from the Imperial
gardens outside of the city to the palace
in an ordinary hired conveyance. This
indignity was too much for the worthy
mother of the emperor. She became
highly excited, then delirious, and in
her fit of anger succumbed to a fit oil
apoplexy, which proved fatal. Another
version has it that she committed sui
eide for shame at the indignities heaped
upon her.
Whatever may have been the real
cause of her death, the young emperor
of the Kingdom of Heaven" was so EN-
bittered that for several days he walked
his rooms like lion in his cage, so thai
the mandarins were afraid to approach
their imperial lord and master.-Chi

A most delightful and delicious nut
that has appeared in the New York
markets for the first time this year, is
the sourari, or caryocar nut. This nut
comes from South America, where it is
extensively used as a pleasant article
of food. The nut has a hard, reddish
brown shell, nearly half an inch thick,
which requires sharp blow from a
hammer to break it,. But when the
meat is once extracted from the shell, it
is found to be very rich and nutty in
favor. Probably not more than bushel
or two of these nuts have been brought
to this country, but they are so much
superior to the ordinary Brazil nut tha.
they cannot fail to find welcome here
as they become better known. The tree
which produces these nuts is a magnifi-
cent hardwood variety, greatly es-
teemed in South America for ship build
ing purposes, and attaining a height
often of 100 feet. The fruit of the cargo
ear is produced in spherical form as
large as a child's head. and the sepa-
rated portions of it constitute the SOU
rari, suratiwa or suwarrow nuts of
commerce.---N. Y. Post.

Disappeared; the pleasant gardens OF

been uninhabited; for the Baggara de-
,lared it to be-as the city Of the I'M
believing Turks-an accursed place in
which no man should be permitted to
dwell. Those who knew the Dongola
OF old find il difficult now to find their
way through the wrecked streets and
can scarcely recognize the houses in
which they formerly lived. 1t is a
scene of wanton destruction; the pro-
verb says that "where the foot of the
Turk has trod, the grass does not
grow" So it is with the Baggara. He
1isdains to do any work; by profession
he is a robber, and destruction is his
pastime; he enslaves where he does not
kill, and in the place of what he de-
stroys he creates nothing. Civilization
is abhorrent to him; after plundering
bodies of the massacred and mutilateu
inhabitants to rot in the streets, he
went out into the desert content to live
the life OF savage in one of the
squalid novels of which Dervish deym
or permanent camp, is composed.

Wen, Sarah and Jim had been work
in for old man Thompson about =
year before Jim ever said any thing par
ticular to her. How he finally come TO
speak out was about this way:
There was a professor of vocal
music"-a feller that parted his hair in
the middle and put beeswax on his
mustache-come to the Corners and
1eld singin' school all winter. He got
five dollars a night once week, besides
half of what they should take in at the
door at concert at the end of the
singin' school. Jim didn't go to singin
school, mostly cause he was so BASH
full. Sarah didn't go neither, for some
reason or other. But the morning before
the concert he up and asked Sarah IL
she'd go to it with him. She told my
wife eafterward that she was so frustrated
she hadn't hardly breath to tell him
she would. But she didn't let on she
was s'prised. She only said: "Why, GER
tainIy, Jim," and when candle-light
come on they started away from
Thompson's house afoot together. 1t
was about mile from there to the
meetin' house where the concert was
held, but Jim never said word all the
way down. Sarah tried to talk 10 him,
but it want no use. When they got
to the steps there was quite lot of the
boys standin' outside the meetin' house
door and one of them said, out loud, so
that Jim heard it.:
Say, boys, here comes Jim Wright
and Sarah Anderson"
Jim flushed all up; then he turned TO
Sarah and said: Excuse me min
ute;" then he took quarter out of his
pocket and he walked up to Hod Smith
and said:
Here, Hod; you take Miss Anderson
into the meetin' house; I've got some
thin else to tend to-
Sarah was so dazed that she said
never a word and went into the church
with Hod. Then Jim he started to go
away, as il he was afraid of his
shadow. But he hadn't gone ten steps
before he turned round and lambastei
that feller till he squealed for mercy.
Then Jim he went home and clum up

MICHIGAN IDOLS.
Three Strange Images and q Slab Which
Were Recently Dug Up.

were necchtiy lug SP'
A remarkable find, which seems to
indicate that the neighborhood of the
great lakes was at one time inhabited
by a race of aborigines other than the
Indians, was recently made by two
hunters near Newberry, Mich. In dig
ging out a wild animal they unearthed
u large stone tablet six inches thick and
1S by IS inches in size, the entire surface
OF which was carved with curious SYM
bolical characters.
Beside the tablet were three stone
images. The larges. was that of a man
IN a sitting posture and nearly life
size. The second, presumably that OF
woman, was three feet in height
and the third was that OF child in a
sitting posture and about three feet
high. Allthree of the images were found
placed with their faces toward the east
Scientists who have examined the relies
regard this as an indication that those
| who made them were sun worshipers.
Upon the slab were engraved inserip-
tions, each set in a square of about y
inches. There were 140 of these figures
carved on the slab.
Those who saw the statues say they
look like Egyptian idols, though the
heads were those of human beings and
not of the sacred animals with which
the ancient race of the Nile was wont
to ornament carved images. These
works bear a strong resemblance to the
work of the Aztec and the even more
ancient Toltec race, remnants of whose
craft are scattered so plentifully about
southern Mexico and the Central Amer
ican states.
The trick of lengthening the eyes
noticed in the Michigan finds, was
known to the ancient inhabitants OF
Mexico as well as to the Egyptians and
is noticeable in the carvings of Uxma
and other ruins of the Miztees, Toltec.
and Aztecs. The strange figures en-
graved within the squares are also no
without parallel, being found upon tn,

A ROMANCE OF WALES.
The Two Ladies of LlangoIlen who Live
Strange Life Together.

The Two Ladies of Llangoilen Who Lived
Strange Life Together.
Lady Eleanor Charlotte Butler and
Hon. Sara Ponsonby, more than CEN
tury ago, ran away from their homes
and settled in the picturesque little
town of Llangollen. They dressed in
a strange costume that was partly made
up of masculine garments. They were
visited by many distinguished people.
and corresponded with most of the
notables of their times.
Among the visitors the ladies elso
counted certain Sir Alured, hand
some and interesting, but venerable
man at this period. Here is romance
within a romance; for of this gallant
gentleman it is said that one of the
princesses fell desperately in love with
him, and her father, poor old George
Ill, sent the too fascinating young
man away to India, where there was
war at the time, and whence, therefore,
there was some likelihood that he
would not return. But at 80 he came
back, still handsome and fascinating,
and was received with distinguished ia
vor by the new king, who made him a
field mar rshal. OF the princess and her
affection nothing more is learned.
Sir Alured had long known Lady
Eleanor, indeed, for aught l knew to
the contrary, he may have been one of
the five despairing SWANS mentioned in
that lady's obituary-and once year,
usually in October, he came down to
LlangolIen to pay his respects to the
two ladies, to whom the visit was al
ways an occasion of consequence.
The death of Lady Eleanor was q
grievous blow to the old man. He
came the year following, however, but
