Bicycles Harmful 10 Boys.

Physicians have issued warning to
parents who allow their children to ride
upon bicycles that are not fitted to them.
Every small boy wants to ride a wheel
1t is easy for him to learn, and he likes
to be able tn show his father few tricks
that the head Of the family doesn't care
to attempt.
Nevertheless, when he is permitted &c
take his fathers bicvcle. or that of an
older brother, and start for long ride
he is granted permission to do something
that may result in permanent and serious
injury.
How often snail youngster is seen or

ground as fast as his elders. The saddle
il quite ont OF his reach for resting pur
poses, and, with all his weight on the
pedals in fact, standing up in them, he
eXerts himself to the utmost, his hips
working with painful effort and his body
swaying, rs first one foot aud then the
other goes down, while his back is left
without support.
The exercise Is so violent and the hin
motion so pronounced that it is an easy
matter for the little fellow to lay the
foundation for case of hip complaint
from which he may never recover. Any
child who is permitted to ride bicycle
should have one that is carefully fitted
to him. Better that the frame be small
and the saddle raised until he is comfort
able in it than to have the frame so large
that he cannot rest on the saddle with
any comfort when it is dropped tightly to
the backbone of the wheel.
Some parents, in purchasing a bicycle
for the youngster, 90 on the theory that
the boy will grow into it, il the heel is
u little large. In making purchases OF
clothing that theory may work, but, in
cycling it is absolutely incorrect, and, il
adopted, positively injurious.

up everything in the world to his cred

goods and lands. He stood among the
crowd watching the sale that was scat

looms among hundred strange hands.
On his arm leaned woman, heavily

"Who bids9"
The auctioneer held the rocking horse
high, that 1t might be seen. Childish
hands had torn away the scanty name !
the bride was twisted and worn by
tender little fingers. The crowd was
still.
The woman under the heavy veil
sobbed and stretched out her hands.
"No, no. mol" she cried.
The mans face was white with emo
tion. The little form that once so mer-
rily rode the old rocking horse had
drifted away into the world years ago.
This was the only relic left Of his happy
infancy.
The auctioneer, with a queer mois.
ture in his eyes, handed the rocking
horse to the man without word. He
seized 1t with eager hands, and ae and
the yelled woman hurried away.
The crowd murmured with sympathy.
The man and the woman went into
an empty room and set the rocking
horse down. He took out his knife.

Of making stew is practiced by one
tribe, who use the animals skin as re-
reptacle for water. Put in this water
vegetables and pieces of meat and then
add redhot stones This generates vast
quantities of steam and makes the wa

surrounding hide. At the end Of an
hour the contents are cooked and the
water has become very fair soup, but

amount of cinders, sand and fragments
Of stone it contains. Still another tribe

THE CRACKED COIN GAME,

How the Shrewd Man Wins Bets With .
"Hocused" Bit of Silver.
Two blithe and confident young men
entered the subtreasury one day last
week, and one Of them dropped silver

like It, on the desk before one Of Unole
Sans money sharps. 1t fell with dull
and leadlike sound.
GOOD or bad?" asked the first bliths
young man.
The clerk investigated.

GOOD enough" said the first blithe
young man. Five dollars. please"
The second young man, not quite so
blithe. passed over a bill, apparently
the amount of bet, and together they
left the place Of gold and silver. The

eye.

Of 1t without in any way spelling the

he always does. for they are born every

How TO ship Wool.

Through the course taken by the New
York Wool Exchange the wool grower
can now for the first time, according to
the Wool Record, not only retain his
property right in his wool but also con.
tro. il at every step, from the time OF
shipment to the time of sale. He can
bag his wool, secure rates at his neares ,
railroad station, and then make shipment
man by draft attached to bill Of ladng
for an advance Of sixty per cent. and up
wards of the value OF his wool, according
to eastern prices.
II the grower so desires, he can instruct
the warehouseman to grade bis wool on
the Wool Exchange standards Of classifi
cation. This will facilitate the securing
OF reasonable advance and guarantees
speedy and satisfactory sale. lie can
then place his wool before the actual
consumer through a reputable broker,
who, being a trading member of the
Exchange, and subject to its rules and
regulations, will charge him only one per
cent commission for selling. The ex.
pense OF marketing this product in New
York, including grading, one months
storage and brokers' commission, equals
about one-half cent per pound. If he
desires to hold his wool for an improving
market the additional expense will be
equal to about one sixteenth of cent
per pound for each additional month s
storage and insurance.

The Court Smiled.

Come years ago, in a suit which turn
ed ON the state Of mind Of lady who
had been q member of a sisterhood, the
late chief justice, then Mr.. Coleridge.
was cross examining a witness, who gave
evidence as to the plaintiffs behavior
while an inmate Of the sisters home.
Among other things it had been deposed
that plaintiff had been guilty Of breach
of discipline in eating certain plate Of
Strawberries.
Mr.. Coleridge-Eating Strawberries
really?
Witness-Yes. sir. She was eating
Strawberries.
Mr.. Coleridgs-How shocking!
Witness-It was forbidden, sir.
Mr.. Coleridge-And did you, madam,
really consider there was any harm in
that?
Witness-No, sir. not in itself, any
more than there was in eating an apple.
but you know. sir. the mischief that
came from that.

seemed to lose the thread of bis ideas

Mysterious Puzzle Bracelets.

One OF the most novel pieces OF Jew.
elry is the puzzle lock bracelet, the chain
of which is secured by lock formed of
three revolving pieces engraved with
figures or letters. Only by arranging
these in some particular com bination
forming a private code can the lock be
opened, and as the figures may make an
immense number of combinations the
"open sesame" is well nigh impossible OF
attainment, except by the owner The
idea of this device is that the bracelet
can he taken off and used to chain a
bicycle to the ratings while the rider is
in house or store, as fastening to a
travelling bag and for many other pur-
poses Of the sort. Most people would be
apt to suffer qualms of anxiety in leaving
it as a lock to a bicycle but for the
makers assurance that these bracelets,
which are made in variety of designs,
are SO strong az to render the length of
time required for filing them through a
risk which the bicycle thief would not
venture to incur, while it is impossible to
break the lock or open it in any other
way than by the mysterious code.

the first mortgage foreclosure and buy
1t from the sheriff. eff you don't buy

no, he WON'T" said Vanderbilt. Brice
then went to Gould. He knew that he
did not want the Nickel Plate, but he
had beautiful scheme to propose. He
knew Vanderbilt would buy the road be-
fore he would allow Gould to get in.
Brice thereupon told Gould that if he
would sit silent and not contradict,
neither affirm nor deny, any newspaper
articles to the effect that he was going
to buy the Nickel Plate, and after this
clamlike silence had continued for q
week, if he would then ride slowly over
the Nickel Plate in an observation car,
Vanderbilt would buy the road, and he
would give Gould $5O0,O0
1t struck Gould that the whole thing
would be majestic joke on Vanderbilt.

says that $4,000 was taken from one

known Alaska cattle dealer. He writes
to his father under date of March 81, as
follows:
AT last we were in luck. We have
struck it pretty good and are taking out
good money now. When the boys left
things looked kind of blue, but it Is differ

got 500 80 and picked up $1l5 in nuggets.
One nugget was ST., and it is dandy.
My partner claims it. The next day we
got 1922 in one pan and picked up $26 in
nuggets. We PANIED out in five days
$500 from fourteen pans. The dirt is

in spots, but We got Z cents under the

two feet, ~ cents and 80 cents to 81. So
We have got it AS good as anyone just

Agricultural Htuts.

In perfectly ripe cream. 50 degrees is
the point OF best separation. and because
it is warmer often causes failure.
Jumping from shallow to deep blowing
all at once usually results in decreased
crop yield at the succeeding harvest. The
soil should be gradually deepened by
letting the pillow bring up a little of the
subsoil each year till the desired depth is
reached.
The average yield of milk per COW for
all the cows in the country in 1850 was
700 quarts year. In 1890 the average
was 1900 quarts per cow for wear. This
increase has been accomplished by the
greater use OF improved breeds, and is
equivalent to nearly doubling the num-
her of COWS by estimating from the
amount Of milk derived in 1890.
