No one is surprised to hear now
adays that this well-known man or
that has taken to the bicycle. All the
worlds a-wheel, both sexes and all
conditions. Some ride for their health,
others because it is fashionable, and
again others from love of sport.
There is nothing like the bicycle as Il
rejuvenator. The man who finds that
age will not be denied, and that, ac-
cordingly, he must bid n farewell to
baseball, rowing, football and tennis
for lack of agility and snap, turns to
the bicycle as a fattering friend that
subtly leads him to believe he is still
a boy and one of the "sports. p" 1t is
then he quotes that old saying, ga
mans as young as he feels, ," while he
pedals swiftly down grade.

Importing Nuisances.

Australia is overrun with rabbits,
the descendants of half n dozen i'm
ported from England some years ago.
They have become so numerous that
the agricultural interests of the coun-
try are seriously threatened. Devices
of all sorts have been employed in the
effort to get rid of them, but thus far
without avail. Disease germs have
been scattered among them, but this is
dangerous, as the rabbits die, and do
mestic animals may devour them 1t
is a matter of common remark that the
English sparrow has become nui-
sance. Brought here originally to de-
stroy caterpillars, it is more annoying
and destructive than the insects it was
supposed to prey upon. The danger
of importing creatures of this sort is
nowhere more aptly shown than in the
efforts now being made in Massachus-
etts to exterminate the gypsy moth.
This insect was brought to this coun-
try by an entomologist. BY some ac-
cident number of them escaped, and
within the past four years half n mill.
ion dollars have been expended in try
ing to get rid Of them. 1t is thought
that some millions may be required
before the gypsy moth is entirely de-
stroyed, if this can be done at all,
which very many persons are strongly
inclined to doubt Some years ago
hyacinth, brought from some foreign
country, took root in Florida and
spread to several of the rivers, which
have become so choked by the growth
of it that navigation is difficult, and
considerable sums of money are re-
quired to keep the channel open. All
of which furnishes an excellent reason
for the greatest care in bringing for
eign plants and animals into new To-
calities. The Ledger.

caded silk, and third ono of chiffon
OF lace to carry with thin gowns.
The chiffon parasol is u thing of
frills and fluff, which is q puzzle to
any one except the ingenious designer
who fashioned it. In this class of
parasols there are various kinds simi-
larly elaborate, made of net, lace and
9auze, and the handles are of gold
set with jewels, with rock crystal and
enamelled heads of tortoise shell or
some choice wood.
Elegant brocaded and MORE silks
are used for covering, but there are
all sorts of less expensive silk parasols
IN plain colors, plaids and stripes,
without limit to the variety. Ecru
batiste parasols lined with n color and
trimmed with narrow ecru lace are ex-
tremely pretty and useful as we'll as
good style, and lacquered wood
handle is sure to be desirable choice.

After n career unparalleled in the
history of maritime affairs, the derelict
schooner Wyer G.. Sargent, abandoned
Mt sea on March 81, 1891, in latitude
81. 42, longitude 7140, while bound
for Philadelphia with cargo of lum-
ber-her crew being rescued by the
schooner II. Il. Thompson-aft bat
Ting with the storms of the Atlantic
for nearly six years, has drifted ashore
on the uninhabited island of Concep-
tion, one of the most dangerous of the
Bahamas, and there will end her days.
She is shattered and covered with
barnacles. Her cargo of lumber long
ago has been emptied into the sea
through her capsizing, but her stout
hull is still held together as firmly rs
the day on which she was launched at
Sedgwicll, Me, in 1881.
This most remarkable career Just
ended for years past attracted the at
tention of shipping men all over the
world. as her erratic courses about the
Atlantic We're for months most accur-
ately plotted on the pilot charts issued
by the photographic department at
Washington. Her drift was indeed
more singular than that Of the famous
old schooner w l.. White, which al-
though abandoned in,the same locality,
drifted ashore ten months afterward at
the Hebrides islands, off the northeast
coast of Scotland.

Little Miss Gladys Vanderbilt has
an expensive taste in the matter of
hats; at least, she had during her re-
cent six weeks stay in Washington.
Hence her departure from the city was
deplored with many tears and sighs by
the modiste who profited by the fas-
tidiousness for headgear on the part of
the youngest member of Mr.. Cornelius
Vanderbilt's household.
1t seems that this fondness for new
and numerous hats was gratified by
her indulgent parents to such an ex-
tent that the result in bills amounted
to $50, sufficient to pay the rent of
the modiste for two months. New

WISE WORDS.

The key to every man is his thought.

Don't jeer at everybody's religious
belief.
The virtues of society are vices OF

tormentable.
Don't be rude to your interiors in
social position.
Better a servant from love than a
ruler from lust.
Don't repeat gossip, even if it does

Intelligence is largely knowing wat
We do not know.
Happiness is lost by being intem ,er-
ate i'll its pursuit.
Persistent industry is the best anti
dote for temptation.
Nothing great was ever achieved
without enthusiasm.
Don't underrate any thing because
you don't possess it.
Men cease to interest us when we
find their limitation.
Don't go untidy on the plea that
everybody knows you,
BE more pronPtto go to friend in
adversely than in prosperity.
What we gain by experience is not
worth what we lose in illusion.
Every man is our neighbor who
needs our compassion and help.
A good man is kinder to his enemies
than bad man is to his friends.
History makes haste to record great
deeds, but often neglects good ones.
1t never occurs to boy that he will
some day know as little rs his father.

Large Earrings Are Revived.

In spite of continued protests by
physicians and lovers of simplicity, the
downfall of the earring is not yet ac-
complished. Not only that, but the
newest earrings are far more of an of
fense than their immediate predeces-
sors. One could forgive pretty pearl
or diamond held in the ear hy an in
visible gold screw. The immense ear
rings of the summer are not eXcusable
on similar ground.
1t has recently been announced that
the immense jewelled hoops of a
quarter OF a century ago are again to
be revived, and the announcement is
considerably strengthened by the fact
that several leaders of fashion bave
already appeared wearing these strik-
ing articles of jewelry. The newest
hoops are nearly as large as a bracelet.
They are studded with diamonds or
other gems, but in some cases the
chased gold is its own ornamentation
The effect Is barbaric but not un-
becoming. Women vino have adopted
this fashion prefer antique jewelry,
when it is obtainable, to the modern
limitations. Old Etruscan hoops, i'm
ported from Italy for seasons wear,
are now particularly in demand. New

An address on 'The Food Supply in
Case of War, was delivered recently
by Stanley Machin, before meeting
of the London Chamber of Commerce.
which was held at Botolph House,
Eastcheap, says the London Times, in
which he stated that Sin 1856 the acre
age under cultivation OF wheat in the
United Kingdom was 4,213, 65l acres,
capable of producing in an average
season nearly 1G,000, coo quarters, or
fourtifths of the total consumption of
the country at that time. The acreage
decreased i'll 1856 to 3.Gl9, jSl. in 1876
to 3,114, 555, in 1886 to 2,35G. 451,
while last year only 1,G93, 957 acres
were under cultivation for wheat,
which might be expected to produce
between 5000, 900 and 5000, 900 quar-
ters, or less than quarter of what was
now consumed
''If this country were at war with
France and Russia, one of the first
acts of the enemy would be to declare
coal and wheat contraband of war.
Estimating our consumption of wheat
to he nearly 600, 900 quarters week,
and allowing for existing stocks, we
should require 16, ,000,0o0 quarters to
carry us over the time between now
and the ingathering of the next har-
vest. In the event of the United States
and Russia joining hands against this
country we should be confronted by
the two powers who between them
controlled 10 per cent. of the total corn
supplies required by importing coun-
tries throughout the civilized world;
and in the event of these powers jointly
prohibiting the export of wheat, he did
not hesitate to say that starvation
would compel this country to sue for
an unconditional peace within three
months without gun being fired"

The Wife in Russia.

Americans have of referring to your
wives by their husbands names," OBJ
served Glanvock Kaplon, an intelligent
Russian traveller. 81 suppose the
American holds his wife in rs high
esteem as the Russian holds his, but
if at home [ should speak of my better
half as Mrs. Kaplon my friends would
ut once conclude that my domestic
relations were not as pleasant as they
should be, and that I was thinking of
u legal separation. When / first heard
mn American speak of his wife as Mrs.
Jones, for example, [ felt almost like
presuming on my acquaintance by in

The deadly bicycle has now affected
the travel to Europe, announces the
New York Journal. Among its ene-
mics must be counted the steamship
companies, who declare that thousands
of Americans will stay home this year
and inspect their own country on n
wheel. If this is true, their country
at least will remain their friends. In
estimating the blessings of the "bille'
no one seems to have considered that
It is making our people acquainted
with the United States. Hundreds of
intelligent girls in New York City have
discovered that the Harlem River is
not the Hudson, and there are others
who have known Como by heart for
years, and have just found out that
Lake George beats it two to one when
the moon shines. This gradual intro
duction of Americans to their native
land may be bad for the Riviera and
Naples, and rough on the Bois de
Boulogne, but it establishes u new
bond of sympathy between the people

Edward A. Moseley, Secretary of
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
has some interesting things to say
about the South. Mr.. Moseley went
with the Commission not long ago to
give hearings at points in Georgia,
Florida, Louisiana, Tennessee and
Texas. He once lived in the South,
and knows its resources and the char.
acteristics of the people. Mr.. Nose.
ley was greatly impressed by improve.
ments in the Lone Star State, and par.
ticularly the harbor of Galveston. 81
believe Galveston is destined to be.
come one of the great commercial
cities of the country" he said. "The
longdesired boon Of deep water has
now been obtained, and ships drawing
twenty-six feet can enter Galveston
Harbor in safety. Why, there is
ample sea room for all the shipping in
the world. Tributary to this magni-
ticent harbor is n region of imperial
extent and of unsurpassed fertility.
Houston and Dallas are also populous
and progressive cities, and the people
there are thrifty and wide-awake citi-
zens. From what 1 saw i am con-
vinced that the Lone Star State is
about entering on stage of develop
ment and commercial and industrial
expansion that will land it in the front
rank before maay years have passed

To Queen victoria's jubilee the
Prince Regent of Bavaria sent per-
sonage, the choice of whom is deemed,
to say the least, a bit peculiar. This
young aristocrat is Prince Rupert of
Bavaria, who is the last remaining
direct descendant of the royal Stuarts,
and who is, therefore, regarded by
British legitimists as the de iure
Prince of Wales. His mother, by
legitimist rights, the reigning Queen
of England, is Maria ~, wife Of

A SUMMER SHOWER,

All, the drops are pouring down
Over country, over town.
Pelting on the shining leaves,
Making music on the caves,
Streaming down the grassy hill
While the rootlets drink their fill
Every little rain-drop glancing
Like fairy dancing dancing.
Busy little elllns they,
Fitting through the air to-day;
Noistening the growing wheat
With their cool caresseS sweet;
Filling up the little stream
Throwing back its grateful gleam--
Watch them-listen! every patter
Echoing like fairy chatter.
Washing now the pansy faces
Waiting in their modest places.
Roses drOop with richer glow
As the diamonds bend them low.
Lilies looking all the while
Upward with a beaminG smile
At the little crystals dripping
Like fairy tripping tripping.
Sydney Dayre, in Youths Companion.
