being the uastiness of the one and the alb
solute cleanliness of the other. Both
have their merits, and both their defects.
The popular prejudice against bicychsts
as whole on the part of the non riding
public arises largely from the innate self
ishness and disregard of the rights of
others and of the common civlitieS of
life on the part of the bumped backed
sCorcher. He is a nuisance. not more to
the pedestrian or the driver of team
than to the respectable wheelman, and
should be abated. In one western city
the humped-back monkey rider has been
declared a dangerous animal and prohibit
ed from riding in the city streets.
Wheelmen can command respect, like
other people, if they will conduct them
selves so as to deserve it. Then when
they insist upon their rights against the
entertainments of the road-hog they will
find their demands respected. 1t is graf
flying to note the great improvement in
this respect the last year or two. The
hoodlum rider is becoming less notice
able and the gentleman rider more com

BeuIah Land .

We're getting ON in years, Jane, we two who
started out
So bravely on lifes journey when the
world was blithe and gay;
| can hardly tell, my darling, how the thing
has come about,
But | find myself beginning to live in YES
terday.
There's bald spot on my head, Jane, and
the frost is sitting down
White as drifting snow of winter on the
fringe above my brow,
And your bonny locks are silver, that We're
once a golden brown,
Yet you never We're queenly, Jane, so
beautiful as now.
But, Hurry up, old lady" the car-con-
ductors say
Step lively, please, old gentleman p
and young folks offer seats,
And we discover in ourselves, when treated
A cold and naughty anger, or quick re-
sentful heats.
Then, We've learned to love a corner by the
chimney's blaze at night;
We are not always ready for the sleigh
ing or the ice,
That used to call us often forth, our faces
smiling bright,
When mirth and frolic made Tor youth
the flavor and the spice,
And we've caught the trick of looking with
a half-respectful awe
At the judges and the doctors whom we
used to know in kits
And we blush at the admission, but our
youngest's word is law
She has but to nod her meaning, and our
own opinion willis.
Then the small grandchildren rule US; pray
do Lot deny it, Jane;
We MD spoil them with ip6n 1panca If
they lived beneath our roof.
When the question is of saying no, the little
ones to train.
We, once so sternly resolute, just weakly
stand aloof
Yes, we're getting on in years, Jane, but 1
like it very we'll,
This broad and pleasant upland to which
our steps have climbed;
lis restful Beulah country where deligh-
full people dwell
And the hour of our arrival has been very
sweetly timed.
Here we taste the fruit we planted in the
mornings bustling haste;
Here we sit awhile at leisure, and make
friends with young and old;
Here we read and talk and ponder, by no
fend of worry chased
And behind us lies the dusty road, before
us evenings gold.

Pulp Shipments from Bangor.

The Norwegian steamship Michigan,
1,799 tons, Capt. Olesen, is coming to
Bangor to take a cargo of ground wood
pulp to an European port, said to be
either Manchester or Hamburg. The
steamship sailed from Greenock August
30 for Sydney, Cape Breton, and after
coaling there sailed Thursday for Ban
gor. She will carry about 5000 tons.
The Michigan is one of the largest steam
ers ever chartered to load at Bangor, ex-
ceeding in tonnage the Jacob Bright,
which carried about 2, $50, 600 feet of deals
from that port early in the season. One
cargo of pulp has already been shipped
from Bangor this year, in the British
steamship Sapphire, to Manchester, by T.
]. Stewart & Co. Pierre McConville ex-
poets one or two more steamships at Ban
gor this season to load with spool bars for
the United Kingdom.

His Lucky Number.

THAT boat" said the old vessel owner

in the dark of the moon. She was as
slick a craft as you ever see and without
a weak spot in her. / made a payment
down of S13, 600, and the first crew put
on her consisted of just thirteen men.
The only pet they had on board was a
green eyed black cat that slept in the day
time and tore around the riggin' at night.
II loaded the barge at Grand Haven for
Tonawanda with cargo of green lumber
The showers began at five O o'clock in the
morning and were just thirteen hours
gettin' her ready to clear. Friday morn
ing she encountered a fearful blow in up
per Lake Michigan. Every one of the
crew of thirteen was swept overheard,
ship and cargo being left to the mercy of
wind and waves. The cat was the only
living thing aboard
Terrible, wasn't it?''
''Might have been worse. The thirteen
storm subsidized we found the ship tossing
around in dead sea, but not very seri-
ously damaged. The cat was sitting on
top of the deckload washing his face, and
there wasn't enough lumber lost to build
hen coop. She made that trip and fifty
others without an accident. l never al
lowed her to clear except on Friday, the
crew remaining at thirteen and the cat
was the mascot.
But one night the captain got smart.
He left the harbor before midnight on
Thursday. One OF the men had failed to
appear and the cat was foraging ashore.
The weather was fine, no collision was
reported, but I've never heard from her
since"

Deer Isle Sketches.

William 7. Hunt, the well known local
water colorist, has returned from several
weeks sketching at Deer Isle, Me-, bring
ing with him dozen sketches made in
that picturesque locality. This is not the
first season that Mr. Hunt has spent on
the Maine coast and in consequence he is
thoroughly at home there and knows Just
where and when to find the best things.
The pictures which Mr.. Hunt brings back
and has on exhibition at his home, New
port street, are nearly all shore scenes
and, taken as whole, are far in advance
of anything this popular artist has done
in recent years. The painter has never
done anything with more light and air

New York Fashions.
POPLINS.

POPLINS.
Poplins are looming in,'' and both
plain and figured patterns are to be seen.
Bright plaids, checks, and stripes are eX-
ceedingly effective, and look as though
they might be very durable. All the
Scotch plaids are fashionable, and many
new plaids have been recently designed.
On dark brown, blue, or black back
ground the bright colors stand out clear
and sharp They will be made up in
skirts to wear with plain short coats, for
school frocks, and will be greatly used
for combining with other materials for
vests, sleeves, and trimmings.
The plain colors in the poplins are
much smarter, and will be worn with vel
vet waists and jackets. A dark brown
trimmed around the skirt with black and
gold braid has short blouse of brown
velvet with vest of yellow satin. At the
belt and fastening the collar are gold
buckles which show to great advantage
against the dark brown. For children's
frocks poplin is capital material, as it
wears we'll and always looks smart 1t is
not, however, suitable for school frocks,
and under all circumstances should be
simply made. Dark brown, blue, and
scarlet are the best colors.
There are many different kinds of pop
lin some classed under the head of novel
ties: these have dots of white or black
silk, and are suitable for reception cos
tunes. One in gray tlecked with white
has recently been made up; the skirt plain
and with little OF no flare the waist lace

the poplin cut in squares and edged with
band of guipule lace. This bertha is
quite long, and there are points which
fall over the sleeves. Collar and belt are
of yellow velvet finished with long point
ed bows.
SILKS AND sATINS.
Black silks are again greatly in favor,
and are in such great variety that it is
difficult to know what to buy. The plain
shiny silks are very smart, but not so
satisfactory as the gros grain and peau de
sole, which are to be greatly in favor.
Small figured patterns in brocades and
plain satins are not tabooed, although not
to be placed among the most desired.
Colored silks of all kinds and brocaded
effects, particularly for older women, are
very stunning in design and colorlng. One
of the newest fashions is to have a black
silk made with facings, Innings, and bows
of some bright color. Turquois blue,
yellow and red are much used in this way,
and the effect is singularly good. Bro
caded silks and satins are still being sold
at such very low prices as to make the
careful shopper very wary. A bargain is
always a delightful thing to secure, but
when any material is sold astonishingly
cheap there is the danger it will be SO uni
versally worn as to lose any smart look,
For evening wear the plain silks and
satins as well as the brocades will be fash
ionable, and it is said gauze, net, tulle and
chiffon are to be relegated almost ex-
clusively to young girls.
When net is used it is to be made up
over expensive silk or satin Innings, and
deliberately and effectively trimmed
Simplicity is no longer to be in fashion.

PRIsoN-LAHoR PROBLEM.
How To Avoid Competition between Con-
Wet and Free Labor.

How To Avoid Competition Hetween Con-
Wet and Free Labor.
The prison-labor problem presents
difficulties at every turn. The aboli-
ton of the contract system of dispos-
ing OF prison labor was undoubtedly
wise step, but it by no means effected
solution of the problem. The compe-
tition of prisonmade goods with the
product of free labor is n bad thing,
yet il must be remembered that the con-
victs can scarcely be employed at all
without competing more or less with
outside labor. In the nature of things
this must be so. III the conyicts were
not in prison they would be at work
outside competing with other laborers.
Seeing the demoralizing effect upon the
market of prison-made goods. leaders OF
organized labor have asked that con
victs- be employed in making goods for
use by the state and its political sub
divisions. In accord with this sugges-
ton. which has decided merits, Gov.
Tanner has recommended that convicts
be employed in making text books for
use I'm the public schools. And, natur-
ally enough, though certainly incon.

the manufacture OF goods for the state

books was condemned by the rcpresen.

subject.
The only way prisoners can be EN-
ployed without competing directly with
free labor is to put them to work on pub

structed for years TO come but for the
utilization upon them OF labor of this
sort. In this way there may be secured
