A Curious Compliment.

Recently the encouragement Of
Belgium, in the course Of an eloquent
speech, paid the following curious COM
plment to the sororic power of the
Belgian press: "In the evening, when
sleep flies from our agitated eycids,
deaf to all our appeals, refractory to
our wishes, what immense assistance
we derive from the attentive reading
of some grave and deep leading. article,
such as May a high-toned journal en-
riches its columns with. Under its
roothing influence Il salutary reposc
closes in upon US, and the enchanted
cup of the queen of night pours down
upon us its treasures, in obedience to
the mysterious power of the press"

ECONOMIC FEED RACK.

Simple Device Witch ?se rents the
Waste of Lots OF Hay.
When hay is led loose in the barn
yard a certain per cent. of it is tram
pied under foot and wasted. In order
to prevent this, in part at least, feed
rack Of some kind should be erected in
the center of the yard at point which
will be the most sunny and pleasant
possible.
Now, a simple but effectual way in
which to build one of these feed racks
IS to begin by setting four tall posts in
the ground in the form of rectangie,
US Shown in cut. Their height and dis
lance apart will determine the size and
capacity Of the rack. 1t is inadvisabIc,

Some OF Them Arc Always Coming
to Grief.
Mr.. Labouchere's sarcastic reference
to this lowest rank of the English hered-
itary titled order, "baroncts and The
criminal classes" seems so very, very
apt, says recent London letter in an
exchange. Baronets insist upon going
wrong all the time. There are at least
Il half-dozen absolutely disreputabIe
baronets prowling about the Strand at
this moment, cadging for shillings, free
meals and free drinks. If they can
manage to preserve a decent outward
appearance existence is not so difficult.
Their titles appeal to the man who
has never been on familiar terms with
anything in the shape of title before.
But the delight of knowing "a noble
man" soon passes when the succession
of small loans and general sponging is
realized One of the worst of the dis
reputable baronet species Now in cri-
dence in London, and more or less IN
the gutter, is the same man who few
years ago was in the United States act
ing as advance agent or something sim
liar for theatrical company. Chicago,
Philadelphia and other cities rcmem-

dies are as remarkable as they are in

Boston is to have cycle race meet
managed by women. This does not mean
that none but women will compete The
events will be open to males, but men
have no voice in the management The
meet is to be held on the Charles River
park track ON May 10, and is to be call
ed the Blue Ribbon meet. The idea
originated in the ranks of the Bostonian
Cycle club, which is composed entirely
of women, and will be carried out by
that organization The races will be run
i'll the evening. The track will be illu-
minated by electric lights.
There will be races for the students
of Harvard, the bicycle clubs of Boston,
invitation races and one for the profess
SIGNALS. On the track will be three
women, one dressed in blue, one in red
and one in white. To the winner of a
race the woman in blue will present a
blue ribbon and to the second the wom-
an in red will present red ribbon, and
the one i'll white will present white
ribbon TO the third. Prizes in the form
of red, white and blue souvenir buttons
will be given to the winners, as well as
generous money prizes. Governor VOL
colt and staff, and the mayors of Bos-
ton and Cambridge, have been invited
to attend. New York Advertiser.

her best, and consignments reaching a
total of 20, 600 tons annually now reach

will not nearly suffice to meet the de-
mand created by the fine, healthy rage
for the pneumatic tire. Trees are being
assiduously cultivated in West Africa,
and various improvements have been
introduced there in the mode of collect
ing the precious sap, SO that one may
expect in the near future to receive
much larger consignments from that

one which cannot fail to damp the spir-

A bicycle flying machine is now &C.
cupying the attention of an inventor in
Milwaukee, and he has applied for a
patent. The machine is to be made in
the form of a bicycle. Connected to the
bicycle, including the propelling, soar
ing and steering mechanism, is a cigar
shaped balloon 60 feet long by IA feet
in diameter at the largest point, The
object of the balloon is to reduce the
weight of the whole machine to as few
pounds as possible The machine will
cost about 5000, but when made in
large numbers the cost will be reduced
to 81, 600 each, New York Times.

SELF INITIATING TIRE.
A Description of One which an English
man Claims to Have Invented.


A self initiating tire has been invented,
so it is claimed, by an Englishman. 1t
is self initiating, inasmuch as the air
comes in automatically, and also self
debating, because the air escapes almost
on the same plan in which it comes in.
Strictly speaking, the invention is an
alternating initiating and debating tire,
working automatically. Instead of the
usual endless tube which is common to
all or most detachable tires, piece of
tubing of about half t>a diameter and
twice the length is employed. This tube
is coiled twice around the wheel in
direction opposite to that OF its rotation,
and each of the two ends tapers to q
point, where it is sealed.
These ends overlap one another to the
extent of the tapering and so fill up the
space. A valve of the ordinary kind is
fitted near one end Of the inner tube,
and the first coil occupies position in
! the hollow of the rim. This part of the
tube is thinner and of smaller diameter
| than the other half, which is coiled out
side of it and is situated Immediately
beneath the tread of the tire. An outer
cover of ordinary character and attach
ment is used.
The automatic initiating is performed
as follows: If the tire is empty or has
little air in it, the weight of the rider
and the machine congresses the tube,
more especially the bore of the thinner
part lying in the rim, to the end Of
which the valve is attached. This part
is fiattened under the pressure, and as
the wheel goes around the pressure trav
els along it, leaving behind vacuum
into which the air flows through the
valve. This operation goes on until the
tire is fully inflated, being renewed at
every revolution of the wheel. The in
gress of air follows the flattening of the
tire, making the initiation of the tire an
automatic process. The tire works
whether there is puncture or not, and
the claim can also be made that it ia
nonpuncturable. Washington Star.

The ordinary toolbag of bicycle is
too small to contain ali of the things a
lady rider likes to take with her. and
the suggestion has been made, that a
reticule be made for use of the bicycle.
1t can be fastened 20 the front handle
bar and will not be in the way of the
rider. A small lunch can be taken, or
toilet articles, soap and towel, if on a
long run. In addition, there are many
little trifies picked up ON bicycle spin
that interest a woman, and then the
reticule comes in handy, New York
