Very Much a Father.

The Columbus, Miss, Commercial
tells of remarkable old negro living
II miles east of that place named Rich
ard Franks. From good authority"
says the Commercial, 1--WE learn that
the old man, who is now 90 years old,
is the father of 81 children, y of whom
are still living. His first wife bore 10
and his present wife2l. His last child,
which is boy, was born after Cleve-
land was inaugurated president the
second time, and is named Grover
Cleveland in honor of the president.
The old man has Ga grandchildren and
two great-grandchildren, and he is as
proud Of them all as most people are
with plenty of money. Richard is an
intelligent, good, oldfashioned country
negro, and has the esteem Of all who
know him."

Sing Lees Asylum.

Sing Lee was an enterprising young
Chinaman who conducted a laundry

some years ago. His never-faiiiDg good

and on more than one occasion the boys

his head.
\ Presidential election occurred
about this time, and one of the boys
an Irishman-remarked to Sing:
"Well, Sing, yez'll have to be goin'
to China now. The Irish be goin' TO

Quick rs flash Sing retorted: "All
right, me go Ireland. Irish no lun

The Right Light.

Eminent authorities declare that light
which is more than normally rich in
violet and ultraviolet rays acts in time
to destroy the fibres of the crystalline
lens. Light that is deficient in yellow
rays temporarily destroys the erythro-
sin or photosensitive substance of the
retina, producing great fatigue of the
nerve and requiring subsequent dark
ness for the formation and restoration
of normal revision. Professor Crookes,
one of the foremost English physicists,
says that the best form of artificial light
is one containing few or no ultraviolet
rays, no excess of yellow rays and just
sufficient red light to communicate a
warm, pleasant tone to objects around.

When Grant Was Courting.

While General Grant, then lieuten-
ant, was courting the lady whom he
married, there occurred an event to
which he never reverted without q
shudder. 4 writer in the Midland
Monthly, describing an adventure
which the young lieutenant and Miss
Dent met with, says:
When the water is high in the Mis-
sissippi the swift current abrades the
banks and they frequently "cave in"
for several yards or rods at a time.
In early spring, in one of their after
noon explorations, Lieutenant Grant
and the yolng lady were riding along
the bank Of the river, passing from one
cove or valley to the mouth of another.
The land was but few feet above the
surface of the turbulent stream.
Suddenly Miss Dents horse began to
sink. The earth had given way under
his hind feet. Grants horse was close
beside hers. In an instant he saw that
her horse was sinking into the awful
abyss!
Grants cool head and splendid horse
manship here had opportunity to dis
play themselves. Quick as flash he
leaned over, threw his right arm around
Miss Dents waist, and drew her to him
as her horse disappeared in the seething
and murky eddy that moment later
boiled and surged in angry tumult over
the place where bank and horse had
vanished from sight.
IL was frightful moment!
Fortunately the earth parted between
the two animals, leaving Grants horse
on solid ground. lifting and firmly
holding Miss Dent, and applying the
spur to his horse, he was on safe ground
in a moment. Then he gently lower
ed her TO the earth-all this without a
word from ''the silent man." or n
scream or murmur from her.
As he FASTENED back to rescue her
horse she stood holding the bride of
his, outwardly as composed rs if moth
ing had happened.
Her horse had disappeared. Grant
followed down stream and hailed boat
man in a skiff, who found the horse
swimming several hundred yards be-
low, amid driftwood and debris. He
landed the animal at place where it
could climb the bank, and it was soon
on safe ground, none the worse for the
fright and the bath.

One of the latest fads is to train your

A well known circus man is having

substitute bicycle races for the chariot

close the circus performances.
The council of the City of Mexico has
just appointed bicycle inspector at a
salary of $40 a month. His work will
be to see that the owners have their
machines registered and pay their taxes.
And now the bicycle riders have en-
tered politics. In Cumberland, Md. ,
they have placed full municipal ticket
in the field. They will no doubt be able
to work the machine, says the Toledo
Blade.
The bicycle craze has affected the
horse business in Washington state.
Several hundred thousands of horses are
practically running wild on account OF
the introduction of electric cars and
cycles. The animals are being sold fol

ABYSSlNlANS AMAZED.
They Thought an italian Had Horse Sent
From Heaven.

From Heaven.
A letter from an Italian officer in
Abyssinia to an Italian paper speaks of
the impression made by his appearance
on bicycle among the children of ma
ture. He says that while riding with
white flag attached to the steering gear
toward the line of the Abyssinians the
outposts and picket guards were so ut
terly surprised that they forgot all
about asking him what errand he came
ON. He calmly descended when reaching
the post, and demanded to be shown TO
the headquarters of Ras Mangasha. He
was shown the direction, and, accom-
panied by two Abyssinian horsemen,
he continued on his way.
They rode at his side in mute adj
miration. When they arrived at the
camp of Ras, they informed the latter
that a messenger of the Italians had
come on horse sent to him by heaven.
The willy chief, not quite SO gullible as
the rest of his troops, was considerably
amused, and requested the Italian officer
to give an oAhiUSion of riding on the
wheel, which the latter gladly did
After looking at the different evolutions
of the wheel for a time, Ras allowed
the messenger to return, but gave him
no answer to the message he brought -
