REMARKABLE RIVERS.

In Colombia is the Rio de Vinagre,
which is so sour from the mixture of sui
phuric acid that it Is most appropriate
ly called the Vinegar river.
In Algeria exists a small river which
has been turned by the chemistry of ma
ture into ink. 1t is formed by the union
of two rivulets, one of which is strong
ly impregnated with iron, while the
other flows through peat marshes and is
heavily charged with gallo acid. Let
ters have been written with the wonder
full inky compound formed by the union
Of gallo acid and iron.
One of the most curious streams that
have ever come to the knowledge of men
is the Webbe Shebeyli of eastern Africa,
a deep and rapid stream Astounding in
strange fish and immense crocodiles.
Although it flows for hundreds Of miles
through fertile lands it never reaches
the sea. A short distance north of the
equator the river is lost in desert re-
gion short way from the Indian ocean.
In South Africa the Orange river
rises in the mountains which separate
Natal from the Orange Free State. 1t
Is 1000 miles long and it's banks abound
In rich, valuable woods, while around
1t are copper ores. In Its waters are
many varieties of fish, which are found
until the river reaches a point where
copper is prevalent and the water below
there is poisonous. almost instantly
fatal to any kind of fish.
Some of the recent explorers of Alask-
ka say the Mississippi can no longer be
regarded as the largest river on this
continent, as they claim this distinc-
ton for the Yukon river. According to
q man who spent two years in Alaska
preparing facts for the last census the
Yukon empties more water than the
Mississippi poux into the Gulf of Mex
leo. Its basin comprises the northern
half of Alaska and 600 miles from its
mouth the river is a mile wide. Many
centuries before it was discovered by
white men it doubtless served as high
way into the interior for the tribes
which we believe crossed over from
Asia. The Yukon is over 1000 miles
long.

A MIXED COLLECTION.

According to the most careful com

and only siN to seven in 100 the age Of

Lady Burton, who died recently In
England. expressed an earnest wish
that, before committing her body to
the grave, her doctor should pierce her
heart with needle.
The queen of the Bismarck archi-
pelago, who is making a tour around

The funeral of workman In Japan
costs from SO cents to $1.25. The coffin
is supplied for 20 cents; for crema-
ton, rs cents is paid, and the mourners
cheer themselves with refreshments
which cost about II cents, and some
times go as high as IS cents.
In about 20 seconds drop of blood

How to Repair q Puncture.

1t is not in the least necessary for q
puncture to drive the average rider into
q state of panic, and if he will but take
a moment or two to do the job properly
he will be amply repaid, provided, Of
course, that he has single-tubc tires.
In the first place, make sure that the
plug has a blunt edge patch of ample
surface; the more ample the stronger
the mending will be. 1t is not neces.
cary to attempt to put very large
patch into very small hole. To COM
plete the operation see that the pune
ture hole and the rlug penknife will
serve the purpose and then with ce-
ment of good consistency insert the
plug, initiate the tire, allowing the for
mer a moment or two to properly set
tie, cut off the projecting stem and ride
away.

There's a great deal to say at the close OF

And SO much to talk over with mother;
There's a comical sight or a horrible

Or a ball game, or something or other;
And she'll laugh with Larry. and sigh with

And smile to our hearts desire
At triumph won or task well DONE
When sitting down there by the fire.
Then little she'll care for the clothes that

Or the havoc we make on her larder;
For the toll and the strife Of our every

She will love US a little bit harder;
Then our lady she Is. and her knights We

Bicycle Patent. for women.

That craze of the day, the bicycle.
has not been neglected by the women
inventors. Patents have been granted
to them for almost all parts Of wheels.
Several fair riders have exerted all their
ingenuity in trying to devise COM
fcztable saddles. Others have tried
their hand in making locks. They have
also made experiments in pneumatic
tires. The luggage carrier for veloci-
psdes was their idea. But,of course, they
have devoted more attention to bicycle
garments than TO anything else IN con-
nection with the wheel. Trousers that
look like skirts appear to be their most
