Mr.. r. b. Tate, S ". P. A., Seaboard Air
Line. City.
DEAR SIR:--It is with pleasure that I note
your line has recently issued circular an
nouncing that all bicycles would be carried
free over your line as baggage when accom-
panied by the owner.
As your line takes in all that beautiful rid
ing territory in North Georgia, the Carolinos
and Virginia, no doubt many Of our wheel
men in the South will take advantage OF this
and 1t will be my great pleasure to advise
them Of your kind offer which you have so
literally given without resort to the State
legislature, in other words. this has been vol
untary on your part and not compulsory, as
with other railroads.
It Is evident that you are reaching for the
business OF the wheelmen, and as most every
family have one or more riders, II will be my
great pleasure to call the wheelmen's atten-
sion to your circular.
Respectfully yours,
HARRY Fl. HoDGsoN,
Chief Consul La Div, LA. w.

AGRICULTURAL TOPICS.
MANGEL wURTzEL FOR COW FEED.

The mangel wurtzel is large, coarse
beet, which outyields all the ordinary
kinds, and is therefore preferred as
stock feed, because of the greater
amount of forage it will produce. But
its more important value as feed for
COWS is in its lats-keeping qualities.
If covered with earth and kept from
air, it will be in good condition for
feeding until fresh grass comes, which
is when it is most needed. But there
is little nutrition in these roots, and
they need extra grain feed to keep the
COW in good condition for milking.

ENORMOUS DEATH DUTIES >
oh English Families HAY Be Ruined
by Them.

Ola English Families HAY Be Ruined
by Them.
In order to realize the terrible strain
imposed by Sir William Harcourt's So
called death duties" which excited so
much resentment among the land-oWn-
ing class Of Great Britain last year, 1t
NAV be mentioned that most of the
territorial magnates, who, through the
death Of their father, or other near rela-
tives, recently have come into posses
sion Of the family property, have been
compelled by the burden thus imposed
upon them to close up their country
houses, and to let their shooting to the
highest bidder.
Thus, when q few months ago, the
Marquis of Bath succeeded to the en-
tailed estates Of his father, he was
forced by the death duties which he
had to pay on his fathers estate to close
up Longlat, and to lease all the sporting
privileges Of the estate to city mer-
chant, and now it is announced that
the new Lord Saville husband Of that
pretty Mrs. Horace Helyar, who, with
her first husband, was connected with
the English embassy At Washington IN
the days Of Lord Sackville) will have
to close Rufford Abbey, one of the most
beautiful country seats in 1.-THE duke
ries," the duties in this case amounting
to nearly S1,0O0,O00.
The duties are exceptionally heavy in
this instance; in the first place, because
the new Lord Saville is merely the
nephew instead Of the son of the tesla
! tor; and, secondly, because of the i'm
mense and extremely valuable art col
lection gathered together by the late
lord, who was 4 famous coInoisseur.
Each of his pictures, each Of his pieces
of bric-a-brac, has been valued by eX'
perts, and on every separate piece sue
cession duty has to be paid.
1t will readily be sen what heavy
charge this is upon any inheritance,
and one cannot help pitying, to a Ger
tain extent, the great landowners and
county families. They are debarred by
the laws Of entail from getting rid OF
any of their treasures, in which they
have only a life interest, and yet al
their death their estate is charged with
succession duties thereon. If the prop
erty happens to change hands more
than once In a year the estate Is, Of
course, charged with just double the
amount of duty, and the Duke of Dev
onshire and other opponents of tht
death duties cannot be accused Of any
exaggeration in that they declared II
Parliament and from the platform tina
the duties in question, unless altered
will ultimately result in the ruin o.
every old family in England.
1t Is understood that during the forth
coming session the Salisbury Govern
ment will bring forward a measure
modifying the death duties as now con
stituted, and will restrict them merel!
to the so-called personal estate" ex
empting all entailed property and sucl
things as art treasures.--Chicago Rec
ord.

How Large Profits Are Made.

II frst-class bicycles can be manu-
factured in large quantities for twenty
five dollars each, how much less does
it cost to build type-writing machines?
Is there any reason why such machines
should sell for S100 each? Is there any
reason why purchasers should pay
even fifty dollars for such? What
makes it possible for the manufacturers
to secure five or six times the original
cost? Persistent and judicious adver-
tising.

A FRENCH CUSTOM.

In France, instead Of using starch
on table napkins, after they are washed
and dried and ready to be ironed,
they are dipped in boiling water and
partially wrung out between cloths.
They are rapidly ironed with as hot a
a fatiron as possible without burning
them. They become beautifully stltf

WHEN TO TRANSPLANT.

A general answer to the query,
"Whenis the best time to transplant"
says Rural New Yorker, is in the fall
for more Southern States, in the spring
for cooler climates. The fact, is, how.
ever, that it is not so much question
of when to transplant as how to trans
plant. We do not hesitate to trans
plant in June, July, August or Seprom-
ber, no matter what the weather may
be, and this, too, without cutting back
or removing leaf. We must preserve
the roots without exposing them for
any length of time to the air or sun.
light. We must supply the roots with
all needed moisture until they "take
hold" of the soil of their new home.
That is all. See to it that the roots
are preserved from injury and that
they have all the water and shade re :
quired until the removed plant has
evidently taken its new home.
