The Civiiizing Wheel.

Editorial in the New York WORLDLY
1t is the concurrent testimony of the
daily news reports that whenever two
vehicles come into collision on Broad
way, two opposing umbrellas collide
on Park Row, there is a certain amount
of friction engendered, sometimes Civ
ing rise to bad language and even to
lawsuits. But how different is the re-
suit when bicycle .collides with bycicle!
The two riders who smashed into each
other at full speed and wrecked their
wheels in Central Park on Thursday
evening were merely fair types of the
bicyclist. Instead of breaking out in
to ~objurgation and hatred each n be-
came deeply interested in the other and
wanted to know the make of his wheel
and its capacity to resistance in colli-
sion. The minor matter Of personal
damage wal then settled at the nearest
drug store, a libation to the new ac-
workmanship was poured out in those
soft drinks which the wheel has done
so much to popularize, mutual inquiries
were made as to their respective clubs
and ihe condition of various suburban
roads. nDr Faey wFo had met as strang-

William Wilkerson, who was fo1
many years jailer of Fayette county
and who was noted for fidelity to
truth, says the Lexington Leader, re-
lates the following pathetic incident of
heroism which he witnessed shortly
after the battle of Richmond, KY, in
1862:
"a son Of my friend, the Hon. Cas-
sius NJ. Clay, was killed in the fight
at Richmond and it was my duty to
visit the battlefield to identify the
body and take 1t to his fathers house.
While riding slowly over the scene OF
the battle | heard groans which | was
sure come from a cornfield neal at
hand. Looking down the corn rows I
soon discovered two wounded soldiers
lying about forty yards apart. One
was a federal and the other was a con
federate. A cannon ball had broken
and terribly mangled both of the con-
f%ederate's legs, while the federal was
shot through the body and thigh.
81 am dying for water / heard the
federal say just as | discovered them.
His words sounded as if they came
from a parched mouth.
81 have some water in my canteen.
You are welcome to a drink If you'll
come here said the confederate. who
had feebly raised his head from the
ground to look at his late enemy when
he heard his pitiful cry for water.
81 couldn't. move to save my life,'
groaned the federal, as he dropped
his head to the ground, while his body
quivered with agony.
"Then l beheld an act of heroism
which held me spellbound until it was
too late for me to give the assistance
| should have rendered. The confed-
crate lifted his head again and took
another look at his wounded foe ami
| saw an expression of tender pity
come over his pain-distorted face as he
said:
Hold out a little longer, Yank, and
I'll try to come to YOU Then the
brave fellow, by digging his fingers in
the ground and catching hold of the
cornstalks, painfully dragged himself
10 Tie lcutTdlS oluc, Lie blOOu lTOIu
his mangled legs making a red trail
the entire distance, The tears ran
down my cheeks like rain and, out of
sympathy for him, | groaned every
time he moved, butt was so lost to
everything except the fellows hero
isrl that | did not once think Of help
ing him.
when the painful journey was fin
ished he offered his canteen to the fed
eral. who took it and drank eagerly,
the water seeming to sizzle as it passed
down his parched throat. Then, with
a deep sigh Of relief. he reached out to
the confederate, and it was plain to
see as they clasped hands and looked
into each others eyes that whatever
Of hate may have ranked once in the
hearts of these men had now given
place to mutual sympathy and love-.
Even while l watched them I saw the
confederate's body CULVER, as If In a
spasm Of pain, and when his head
dropped to the ground / knew that a
hero had crossed the dark river. The
federal kissed the dead hero's hand re-
peatedly and cried like a child until I
Ind him removed to the hospital
where ne. too, died the next day"

From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat:
Little Rock, Ark, special: The med
ical department of the Arkansas Deaf
Mute Institute is puzzled over a case
which occurred at that place to-day.
Two years ago Jennie Childress, aged
9 years, whose parents reside in lizard
county. had a severe attack of the
measles, which seems to have par
alyzed the vocal organs, rendering
speech impossible, although her power
of hearing was not in the least affected.
Last October she was SEN to the Deaf
Mute Institute. For several weeks she
had been under the care of the insti-
tute physician, DR.. Gray, but he be.
came convinced a few days ago thai
there was no hope for the little one
and only yesterday wrote to Mrs. Chill
dress that he could give no encourage
ment whatever to Jennie's case. Hell
power of vo~calization seemed to be ut
terly gone beyond recall. This after
noon Jennie was with a class Of girls
They were singing the familiar church
hymn, "At the Cross" when all were
astonished at Jennie. who broke into
the chorus with a clear tone, the first
words she had uttered for over two
years. Later she pronounced her
teachers name. and remarked: Nam
ma will be so happy"

The difference Of opinion between
Frances Burnett and the Frohmans as
to a suitable actress for the heroine of
IA Lady of Quality" has resulted in
the play being transferred to Charles
Burnham, who has engaged Julia Ar
thur. Joseph Holland will accompany
her. Miss Arthur has been in Henry
Irving's company two years.
1t is possible that Virginia Harmed
may star next season In ""The Dancing
Girl" in which she made her first
great success as Drusilla Ives.
A feature Of Secret Service one in
which the author, Mr.. Gillette. takes
considerable pride, is the fact that it
is the first play ever written which dis
penses wholly with .'asidesp sci
iloquies." Not once during the piece
does the actor speak his thoughts for
the benefit of the audience, whilst
other actors on the stage are supposed
not to hear what he is saying.

Among infrmities to which precious
stones are liable is one common to all
colored stones, that of adding or los
ing color when long exposed to the
light. The emerald, the sapphire and
the ruby suffer the least, their colors
being as nearly permanent as colors
can be, yet experiments made a few
years ago both in Paris and Berlin to
determine the deterioration of colored
gems through exposure showed that
even these suffered, a ruby which had
lain for two years in a show window
being ~perceptibly lighter in tint than
its original mate, which was kept in
darkness. In the case Of the garnet
and topaz the change is more rapid
than in that of the ruby and sapphire,
but there Is a curious difference in the
result in topaz and garnet; for, while
the latter grows lighter, the former
appears to become cloudy and dull in
hue, losing much of the brightness
characteristic of a newly cut gem.
Microtonists say that the prismatic COL
ors and fire of the opal are due to my
riads OF minute cracks In the body Of
the stone, the edges of which reflect
the light At different angles and give
the hues so much admired. Opals that
have successfully passed the ordeals of
grinding, polishing and setting do not
often crack afterward, but it is best
not to expose them to even the moder-
ate heat involved by the wearer sit
ting in front OF an open fire, for the
opal is composed principally OF silicic
acid, while from 5 to IS per cent of
water is a combination which renders
them very treacherous objects. A vol

One More Break.

A railroad bicycle has been placed
on the market by a Kalamazoo, Mich.
firm. The machine is constructed
throughout quite like an ordinary BIZ
cycle. The wheels are, of course
Hanged and fitted with soft cushion
tires, o%ne-third of an inch thick and
five wide, which cause the wheels to
run noiselessly over the rails. One
advantage is that the rider can hear
approaching trains from either side.
There is no jar, and owing to the
smooth track surface very high gears
car be used. A good rider can average
a speed of thirty-ive miles an hour on
q long run on this machine with ease.
A hub brake with which this wheel
is equipped makes such a high rate OF
speed safe.

Is 1t BeneaciaIs

In discussing the rs it healthy"
question as applied to cycling, a veter-
an says: my experience Is extensive.
1t embraces close IN eighteen years OF
active cycling, during which period ]
have covered nearly 100. 900 miles, most
ly in company. Road racing, pacing
and touring were all comprised in this
milage, and of the people with whom ]
was brought in contact during that
period l can record only one case in
which cycling did not prove beneficial
and that was the case OF over-exertion
on the part of a weak rider who had
been frequently warned. There is not
one individual in every 100000 for
whom cycling is not good, but there are
many to whom excess is likely to
prove dangerous. Above all, severe cy-
cling when in an unfit condition is
risky. The person who gains the
greatest possible benefit from the pas
time is the one who cycles regularly
and consistently. Those who indulge
only in an occasional ride should be
exceedingly cautious, and any man who
suffers from exhaustion or insomnia
or who can not eat after riding may be
sure that he has done too much"

Grlmth's Close Call.

(From the Philadelphia Record.)
Coatesville, Pa, special: In stepping
over a revolving roll in the Lukens
iron mill today Frank Griffith, an en-
ploye, had a hair-raising experience.
The tail of his long overcoat caught
on the roll. and he was himself wound
around the latter in a jiffy.
Employees sickened and turned their
faces away, expecting to see Griffith
crushed into a shapeless mass, as the
space through which he passed in the
machinery was eighteen inches in di-
ameter at its widest, and his head went
grinding against the iron.
The roll had made ten or fifteen rev.
o~lutions before the machinery could
be stopped. Then his companions
rushed to unwind and extricate what
they supposed to be only a corpse. They
finally got Griffith out after cutting off
his outer clothing, prying loose his
awful grip upon one of the spikes of
the roll, and pulling the coiled-up body
from the box-like structure surround
ing the shaft. Then, 10 and behold!
he had suffered nothing worse than a
~dislocated shoulder, a mass Of bruises,
and a fright that was enough to have
killed a more nervous man. He will
recover nicely. for he was able to walk
home.
