MAMMOTH SUNFLOWERw
Birmingham Claims to Excel the Country On These-ExceFlent Food for Poul-
 try Is the Sunfower Ssed.

Birmingham, not satisfied with carry ing off the blue ribbon for the finest veg etables in the state, and producing a va Tiety of fruits which equals those of Cal ifornia now comes to the front with pos- sibly the most wonderful sunflower ever grown in the south. These sunflowers are grown by Mr. James Harrison, who resides ar 22M Third avenue, North. Like much of Birminglaams undeveloped re- sources, Mir. Harrson has only two of these sunfowers, and they are growing in his front yard. One stalk is twelve feet and four inches high and has twen- ty-eight open blooms or pods and three buds; the ether is twelve feet high and buds, making in all fifty-seven blooms and eight buds
 When ma, ured MT. Harrison estimates that each flower will yield eight ounces of seed, which will be thirty-two and half pounds, or little more than a half bushel
 The wholesale price of sunhower seed ranges from $6 to $S per bushel, and re- tailed this year at 10 cents p=r ounce. At this rate, the yield of the .wo stalks would bring on the market $52.
 There is one stalk in an adjoining yard which has seventeen blooms and thirteen buds.
 It is claimed that sunfower seed Ire the finest known food for poultry, and when fed on them they are always h cal hy and are never attacked by cholera
 A Birmingham merchant had an eXhi- bition in his show window last year one Of those mammoth EnnfloWerS which w ig'hed five pounds.

By the Ladies Hebrew Benevolent So- ciety to the Memory of Julia Hirsch
 The hour that notes lhe departure from our midst of one dearly beloved, trusted associate and friend has been tolled and all remains with it's echo is a remem- brance of her; but that remembrance Will ever arouse emotions of purest thought for our emulations and example, and we thank God that it was our fortune that permitted her to be cast among us She was noble mother in Israel whose department was a source of inspiration to others. The memory of her lovable character neither time nor separation can dim; her words were always gentle and the emotions of her heart always cast a halo over the. sphere in which she moved We recognize that in her death we lose true friend, a noble woman and an ex- emplary character and, therefore. be it Resolved, That toward her bereaved family we extend our heartfelt sympa- thies and assurances hat we will eyer cherish the example her life plac d before us as an incentive 10 nobler aims and higher ambition; and, further
 Resolved, That in addition to this ex- pression to her family we set aside mourning page of the worthy life of the deceased sister as an evidence of our esteem and love, and that same be pub lished in ehe American Islaelite" and daily papers. Respectfully submitted.

DANGEROUS PRACTICE.
Riding Hands on the Handle Bars
should Be Discouraged.

Riding Hands OH the Handle Bars
Should Be Discouraged.
There are vaSious reasons why the
reprehensible practice of riding with
hands off the handle bars should be gen
orally abandoned. Chief among these
reasons, perhaps, is the fact that it is
dangerous not only to the rider him.
self, but to others. To do the trick sue
cessfully it is necessary to travel at
speed which is not safe, at least on a
street which is liable TO be. crossed any
where by pedestrians or other riders.
and it is just such thoroughfares that
the senseless hands-off rider selects to
show himself off. With the hands off
the bars the rider has no control of the
wheel, and, particularly at crossings,
there is no telling at what instant 1T
is necessary to make detour or slacken
speed. just the fraction of time neces-
sary to regain control of the wheel
often is enough to cause an accident.
With no guiding power there is no tell
ing what the front wheel is going to
do. A small obstacle in the street which
would ordinarily be passed over without
notice is enough to defect the front
wheel and. if there are any riders close,
send it crashing into their bicycles.
An old rider said: Handle bars. are
made to hold Oh to, and whenever 1 see
some crank-I call him by no other
name-come sailing along trying to
show off / feel like taking a thump
into him. He is liable to cause all sorts
of damage. and dose of the same sort
of medicine which he so often inficts
on others will many times do him a
world of ood.'-Chicago Chronicle.

Bicycies in Austra.fa.

American bicycles are the favorites IN
Australia according to the report of
MIR. Maratta, United States consu1-gen-
eral at Melbourne. Last year. Victoria
imported S1,47S,715 worth of bicycles,
which sold there at prices ranging from
$55 to S145 each. The American wheels
secured the highest price, and sre best
liked. 1t is the practice of some dealers
to sell wheels on time payment
for the exact amount of the
monthly suburban railway tickets,
so that at the end of a certain
time the buyer seems to obtain his BIZ
cycle free of cost. All the leading Amer
lean wheels are represented by agencies
in Australia. and there is complaint
that the trade is overdone, receiving IS
per cent. more bicycles in proportion to
population than any other country.

HOW WOMEN MOUNT.
They Have quite as Many Varieties OF
style the Men.

They Have Quite Many Varieties OF
style as the Men.
In the variety of styles of mounting
the bicycle the girls are fast equaling
the men. There was time when only
one style of mounting was in general
use. But as the riders become more
expert and gain more confidence they
are branching out in this particular.
The old style of mounting for women
by standing out in the street with the
pedal raised is not so easy in going up
a hill. AS consequence, the curbstone
mount became popular. This is an easy
way of mounting the wheel, and can
be learned by anyone. 1t saves the
strain to a large extent on the frame
of the wheel. A drop-frame wheel, by
the way, is not as rigid as the diamond
frame of mans bicycle
Perhaps the most graceful mount of
any, and likewise the most difficult, is
the female pedal mount The right
foot is placed on the right pedal. which
is raised to nearly it's highest point.
A slight shove is given the wheel, and
before the right pedal reaches its low
est point in its revolution the left loot
catches the left pedal just as it is COM
ing up It's pretty, but difficult.

mblanee to the bicycle goes no furth-
er. The small sprocket wheel which is
driven from the large sprocket on the
main shaft by the medium of. a chain is
secured to small rotary pump which
is fastened at the rear of the frame.
The suction pipe of the pump ends near
the bottom of the tub and the discharge
pipe is curved as shown in the engrav-
ing and ends in the sprinkler arrange
ment common to all shower baths. A
cock halfway up the discharge pipe
permits of the water being turned on
to the sprinkler or through the hose and
nozzle, depending on whether bath is
desired or not.
1t is, of course, perfectly possible to
obtain the exercise without getting wet,
the pump furnishing the resistance nee
-essary for the exercise and the water
which is pumped being discharged by
means of the rubber tube and nozzle.
When the rider has exercised sufficient
ly, he can reach backward and turn the
cock so as to let the water pass upward
and out of the sprinkler. The harder he
pedals, the larger the stream.
1t is possible to direct a stream of
water on any part of the body by means
of the nozzle connected with the rub
Der tube. The tub can be divided into
two compartments, one containing hot
water and the other cold water. and the
cold and hot douche may then be-used
at will. The device could be made to set
in any ordinary bathtub. 1t would seem
