BRITISH WHEELS AND OURS.
An American Consul Compares Them and Proas
Our Manufacturers.

WASHINGTON. March 2O.-Roporting to the
State Department on the recent bicycle show at
Dublin, Ireland, which Consul Ashby found to
afford an opportunity OF q comparison of Ameri-
can and British machines, that official says:
About $50 machines were exhibited. or these
90 per cent. were of British construction, and
the remainder, with the exception of eleven OF
French mako, which closely resembled tho Amer
lean, were OF American manufacture There
was q striking difference In construction and
fittings between tho American and British
bicycles, the higher crank bracket and corre-
spondingly higher seat and longer steering
head OF the former being strong con
trast TO the dropped crank bracket and
short steering head OF the latter. But
the most important differences were In the Mt
tings. Tho American machines with few no
table exceptions, had wooden rims, with single
and often wooden handle bars; while the British
machines had detachable tires fitted to steel
rims, hollow in the best grades; a rubber lined
brake. large, sprngy saddle, and stool handle
bars. But what struck one most was the differ
ence In mud guards. tho short, narrow, and al
most useless wooden guards on American ma
chimes. when they had even these, forming Q

How Lemon. VIII Benefit the Lungs.

Lemons are an excellent remedy in
pulmonary diseases. When used for
lung trouble from 0 to q day should
be used. More juice is obtained from
lemons by boiling them. Put the lem
ons in cold water and bring slowly to
boil. Boil slowly until they begin
to soften. Remove from the water, and
when cold enough to handle squeeze
until the juice is extracted, strain and
add enough loaf or crushed sugar to
make it palatable, being careful not to
make it too sweet. Add about twice as
much water as there is juice. This prep
aration may be made every morning,
or enough may be prepared one day to
last three or four days; but it must be
kept in a cool place.

How Easily It May he Made with Lit
tie Care.
Have good tea to begin with; then be
sure that you have freshly drawt. pure
and filtered water of which to make the
beverage. The water must not have been
standing for hours exposed to the wealth
er nor simmering onthe range. 1t must
be fresh, and then, II you have brisk
fire or the hot fame Of an alcohol
lamp, bring it quickly to the boil. A
fat bottomed kettle is to be preferred,
as it has broad surface to expose to the
heat, and the boiling 10 soon accom-
plished. Water is boiling when it bub-
bles and the steam comes In white ppffs
from the spout Of the kettle. 1t does
not boil when it begins to simmer and
to sing. That is only the sign that 1t il
near to boiling. You must make your
tea when the water has just boiled. A
kettle which has been standing on the
back Of a stove all day, filled up now
and then by dipper or two more Of
water, will not make good tea. You
must boil the water on purpose.
An earthen pot is better for tea than
metal one. Pour little boiling water
in the pot to heat it, and after a minute
or two pour it out. Now put teaspoon.
full Of tea for every cup of hot water-ar
even, not heaping, spoonful-and add
an extra one for the pot. Pour on az
much water as will fill the number Of
cups you wish to make. Let 1t stand
two minutes; then, with a long handled
spoon, stir the leaves once through The
water and instantly cover the pot again.
Three minutes more, and your tea Is
done. Never let tea steep or boil OF
stand long time. 1t is quick, neat,
nice process from beginning to end.

JUDGE SWEAT'S VIEWS.
He Expresses Himself on the Convict
System.

The views of Judge j. l.. Sweat,
of this circuit, on the agi-
tated convict system will be read
with interest here. The inter-
view is published, as follows. in the
Atlanta Constitution: On being asked
what he thought of the convict ques-
ton, Judge j. l.. Sweat of the Bruins
wick circuit, stated that owing to the
position he occupied, it was ques-
ton he had given considerable
thought. He was opposed now as he
had always been to the lsase of either
state or county convicts to private
parties. His idea was that the state
ought to own large body of land
properly located, upon which a peni-
Tertiary should be erected and fully
equipped with all modern appliances,
for the confinement at hard labor in
the various trades of all able bodied
| felony convicts, the result of their la
Dor TO be utilized and sold in the mar.
kets and the proceeds to go toward the
support of the instltutio n, and so that
they would come out better skilled to
earn livelihood; and with a large
| farm we'll stocked attached to be run
by the women and boys and the old
and infrm, on which ample supplies
for the convicts could be procured and
the excess sold for its maintenance
Misdemear or convicts should be orga-
nized into county chalngangs and
kept at WORK on the roads and other
public works in the respective coun-
ties. In his opinion under the opera
tion of the present law providing for
q reduction of punishments for felo-
MES, there would continue to be a
marked decrease in the number of
state convicts and a corresponding in
crease of county conviots.

COMMISSIONERS TO MEET.
A State Convention of County Boards to
Be Held Soon.

A State Convention of County Boards to
Be Held Soon.
A call has been issued for conven-
ton of the County Commissioners of
Georgia to be held in Atlanta Septem-
Der 16, The meeting will be the first
general state gathering of county
commissioners ever held in this state,
and it is believed that about $50 dele
gates will be In attendance.
The state convention has been called
by the members of the Fulton county
board of commissioners, and every
commissioner in the state has been
urgently requested to attend the meet
Jog. Many important matters will be
considered by the convention, and it
will result in great good to the state
by bringing the commissioners of the
different sections in touch with each
other.
Among the questions to be consid,
cred by the commissioners is that Of
the state convicts, and it Is probable
the commissioners will take a decided
stand as to the settlement of this seri-
Gus problem, Other questions of i'm
portance will come up for discussion,
among them the question of improv.
ing the roads and public highways.
Some of the Glynn county commits
sioners will probably attend this meet
ing, and it should be productive of
great good.

A HoME-LIKE HOTEL.
Manager Porter is Making the 0glethOrue
Popular with Local Patrons.


Popular with Local Patrons.
Manager Hugh Porter, of the Ogle-
thorpe hotel, is making the hotel very
popular as home for Brunswick peo-
pie who do no: care to trouble with
the worries and cares of housekeep-
ing. AS a result, many Brunswick
families are contemplating making
their home In the large and elegant
hostelry.
Speaking about his plans to TIMES
man yesterday, Manager Porter said
81 expect to make the hotel one of the
most home-lIke to be found anywhere
by giving a specially low rate for per-
manent boarders. A special table
board rate will also be offered. A
goodly number is already taking adj
vantage Of these inducements, and l
have many other applications"
Manager Porter proposes to make
the rates so reasonable that one can
have all the accommodations of a
strictly first-class hotel. which in
cludes table furnished with the best
that the local and Savannah and Flor
ida markets afford, and most perfect
system of trained service. The house
will be comfortably heated and will
have electric lights, together with
electric bells in every room for the
use of guests both night and day.
Elegantly ventilated rooms, good
beds, anfi delightful arcades and par
lors are among the attractions of the
Oglethorpe.
Every evening parties of ladies and
gentlemen gather about the spacious
verandas and arcades, enjoying the
comforts of this home-like hotel. One
notes an air of comfort and content
ment among the guests after partak-
ing of the usual elegant 6 o'clock
dinner.
"The Oglethorpe" said Manager
Porter, "Is rapidly becoming the head
quarters and the place of gathering
for the young men of the city. Quite
number have already engaged board,
and more are booked to come a little
later"
Mr.. Porter has had a great deal of
experience in catering to guests Of
this class, and fully understands how
to make everyone feel at home. The
Oglethorpe will have the honor of en-
tertainIng the Cotillion club for all of
their germans and banquets this seas
on. In fact, Mr.. Porter proposes to
make the hotel headquarters for all
gatherings of social nature.
The special rate for local patrons is
attracting many applications for &C
commodations. The OglethOrpe has a
brilliant season before it.

WHY THEY COME HERE.
The Arrival of American Vessels Caused by
Free Quarantine.

Free Quarantine.
The arrivals of American vessels
within the last few weeks from for
eign ports has caused considerable
comment among the shipping men.
The fact is noted that there are now
five American barks bound for this
port from the east coast of Africa, an
this fact is so unusual as to create COM
ment as to the reasons for the general
movement in this direction.
The captain of one of the square
Triggers now in port informs THE
Times that the free quarantine in
vogue here is the thing that attracts
the American vessels from foreign
shores. american vessels" says the
captain, shave to return to New York
or other northern port for a return
cargo. If they can put In at Bruins
wick without quarantine charges, and
take a cargo of lumber to their desti-
nation, it pays the expenses of the
trip, and, you will readily see, is de-
slrable opportunity. 1t takes some
time for the news that port has no
quarantine charges to become gener-
ally known. The fact that the Amer
lean vessels from foreign ports are
calling in at Brunswick is the direct
result of the general knowledge of the
abolition of all fees at the local quar-
antlne."
The American vessels have been
paying off then crews through the To-
cal custom house, and Inspector DEM
ing has paid out several thousand dol.
lars within the past few weeks in this
way. The money, or the greater part
of it, is expended in this city.
