AIwars Keen to the RIGHT.

There are several ideas which should
be impressed upon all bicycle riders.
They should observe the well-estab-
lished rules of the road. They should
always keep as close as possible to the
right-hand side of the street. They
should ride at moderate speed in the
city. They should pass cross streets
with extreme caution. They should
always be on the alert to avoid COLI
sions. They have just as much right on
the streets as wagons, but no more.
The element of proper precautions
should always be considered. A rider
who violates any Of these fixed and rec
ognizsd rules has no one to blame but
himself if he gets into trouble.--CycliGg

THE HOURS.

Behind each hour there always lies another
More like the first than brother unto
brother,
And thought can never find the first one or
the last,
In endless future nor in endless past.
No ending to the line and no beginning,
Simply the clock of time forever ringing,
A solemn fog hell tolling everlastingly
Above the wan waves of a level sea!
What does it mean. this ceaseless. sad pro-
cession
OF hours? No halt. no Change. no retrogres-
sion,
No haste, no swerving, no delaying, no re-
treat,
Each like the last as pendulum beat to beat
The earth and moon grow ever old and
older,
And human hearts grow warmer or grow
colder,
While stealthy death creeps up all ties to
sever.
The hours move in unbroken file forever.
For they alone are free from all mutation,
Exempt alike from death and from crea-
ton;
They pass. and pass, and pass. and passing
testify
To Infinite and imminent eternity.

From the time when this country

lively national style of architecture,
nor have we been long content to stick

land through the varying styles that
found acceptance in that country, with
an occasional copy of the worse feature
of French architecture. There was also

The question of differentials in favor Of the
so-called weak lines between Chicago and
New York has long been a source of great
trouble to the managers. And this has
grown to be q matter of such moment that
the abolition of all differentials is fully
and earnestly urged by the stronger lines
which feel that gross injustice is done their
interests. Especially has this discomfort been
manifest since the Panhandle was allowed
such differential by the arbitrators The
Vanderbilt lines protest that it is a down
right discrimination, and the Nickel-plate
of that interest, has made its protest earnest
and emphatic, even going to the extent Of
demanding a differential in connection with
the New York Central. claiming that il is
as much entitled to such mark of favor as
is the Panhandle in connection with the
Pennsylvania So. also, the Lake Shore &
Michigan Southern will demand q differen-
tial in connection with the West Shore the
Iackawanna or the Lehigh Valley. These
matters are to be heard by the arbitrator
on the 10Th, at New York The Canadian
Pacific, having made application for a diff
ferential in connection with the New York
Central, and been denied, has appealed to
the arbitrators. The board of managers has

ject of differentials, and has asked from all

of the number of first and second-class pas
sengers carried by each from Jan. to
