THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BICYCLE.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BICYCLE.
After expendihg great deal of time
and thought to selecting the most ele-
wheel in existence we have finally decided
on
THE HIGH ART IDE,
made by the F. f. Ide Mfg. Co. of Peoria,
Ill.,
The Ide wheel is noted throughout the
bicycle world as the leading machine of
all artistically built bicycles.
1t has a very large number of peculiar
and distinct features, among them the
patented elliptical spring steel cranks,
which give a beautiful and imposing eff
feet to the wheel and Increases its motive
powers. f8et.5 o4
We do not. claim, that the High Art Ide
is the best wheel made, or any better than
our Barnes, Remington or Eagle, but We
do assert that it surpasses everything on
the market for elegance of finish. Just as
its name implies-High Art Ide. Options
on four different styles of forks are given.
The Ide wheels are finished in the follow
ing colors and styles: Full satin or satin
and carmine, satin and black or satin and
royal blue, and satin and olive, all very
rich colors. The choice of tires are NJ. &
W., New York single tube, Vim. Hartford,
or Goodrich The latter we think is the
best tire on the market A number Of OPP
tons are also given on saddles.

A POET READING HIS POEMS.
Tennyson Inspired His Hearers with Deep
Emotion.

TennysOn Inspired His Hearers with Deep
Emotion.
1t was usually in the afternoon that
Tennyson would delight US, and any
of the other guests who thronged his
house, by reading to us some of his
poems. l have heard him read ''Guin-
evere" and many other of his poems.
He read in sort of recitative, some
what monotonously at times, and al
ways with such deep emotion that the
effect was indescribable. once asked
him TO read ''Boadicea," because of its
singularly sonOrOus Tilt, and he did so,
though he did not regard it as much
more than an experiment in language
and meter.
Two of his readings are impressed
upon my memory with special vivid
ness. One was 1.-The Revenge" which
he read to a distinguished company
whom he met at dinner at my house
at Westminster.
Among them was my parishioner, the
late lord chancellOr-LOrd Hatherley-
one of the best and truest men whom
l ever knew-toward whom Mr.. Ten
nyson was Immediately drawn. The
effect of his reading of that noble piece
was like that of vivid picture. as his
rich, sonorous voice rose and fell with
the changes of the imprisoned story.
The others were much longer read
ings. He read US the whole of Queen
Mary" before it was published. 1t has
never been among the more popular Of
his works, and 1 believe that on the
stage, with Sir Henry Irving to help,
it was not dramatic success. But as
the poet interpreted il by his sympa-
thetic reading L had never before so
deeply felt the tragedy of the life of
that miserable queen, with her diseased
body, her disappointed love, her
blighted hopes and the sour, gloomy,
cruel, imprisoned fanaticism which
she took for religion and the service
of her God. As he read, breadth on
breadth of the gloom seemed to be
falling, fold after fold, upon the life
of the unhappy woman; and his own
voice was often broken by emotion.
1 specially, however, remember the
ring of triumph with which, after the
successful repression of Wyatt's rebel.

queen" And with still more rapturous
passion: MY foes are at my feet-and
Philip king"
also specially remember his read
ing of the poem of ''Akhbar's Dream"
He told me much about Akhbar that
was entirely new to me. For breath
and wisdom of thought this poem

POSTAGE STAMPS.

An eight-cent stamp OF British Gui-
ana, issued in 1880, was sold In Phila-
delphia at auction recently and brought
$140.
An interesting relic has been found
in the shape of price list issued by
Philadelphia firm of stamp dealers
in the year 1870. There is only one
United States stamp mentioned, the 90
cent 80, and that is quoted at 80 CENTS.
The Stamp Book explains that the
reason why the stamps of Finland Of
the type of Russia with added circles
are SO scarce in this country is that
they are used only ON correspondence
from Finland to Russia. Of course II
good many are used, but comparative
ly few of them come within reach Of
stamp dealers after they are cancelled.
The post Office department offers re-
wards for mail robbers, and chases
them with relentless vigor, but recently
the postmaster-general has decided
that no rewards will be given for the
apprehension" of dead men. Now you
must bring in post office robber alive
in order to get the reward.
While lady collectors are not espe-
cially scarce, they are not in the ma
jority. A recent note in a newspaper
speaks OF a woman in Iowa who esti
mates the value of her collection at
$4,000, but would not sell it for much
more than this amount. This report
may or may not be true, but 1t is we'll
known fact that there are many very
fine collections accumulated in a quiet
way and the public has no knowledge
| of their existence.

If not forevepr though they were, as she

OF course, she did not expect her feet
to fill up the waste places in the points

shopping she was surprised to feel
something pressing against the toes in
her right shoe. Not knowing what
could be crowding her foot, but think
ing there was plenty of room inside for
both, she hailed car and kept on. She
had scarcely got seated, however, be-
fore she gave a scream that startled the
women passengers half out of their

"What is It, miss ?" inquired the con-
ductor, coming to the rescue, for the
girl was tugging away at her shoe
laces for all she was worth.
"Let me-" said the gallant conductor,
kneellng down and taking her foot in
his hand.
