MT. kilburn Wheel Club Road Race.

Yesterday was an ideal day for the
annual road race OF the Mt. KiIburr
Wheel club, about which public interest
seemed to center during the forenoon AT
the hour of 10 good share Of the popula-
ton of the village happened accidentally
to be down in the Square, imparting an air
OF unusual liveliness to the scene.
AT lO.O1 the race started. There were
five entries: Henry and NJ Grgnon,
John Denison, L. Cannon and George
Andrews, Cannon having a handicap of
eight minutes. The race was to Clare
mont and return, distance of 10 miles.
which was covered in a little over two
hours, the winner, M. Grignon, returning
to the starting point opposite the Wheel
Club rooms, in 2 hours, 8 minutes, and
"a 10 seconds. L. Cannon came in sec
ond, hours, II minutes and 80 1-5 sec
onds; Henry Grignon, third John Deni-
son, fourth; and George Andrews fifth.
When at the top of Dean hill, about five
miles this side Of Claremont, on the return
trip, Henry Grignon broke the rim to one
OF his wheels and rode two miles farther
before meeting his cousin with whom he
exchanged wheels. He then rode on to
Charlestown, where he secured another
mount and arrived third in the race, in
spite of the mishap
At meeting in the club rooms last
night the prizes were presented to the win
ners in a brief but happy speech by
Charles Gibson, ex-president of the club.
M. Grignon was given the first, hand

cup, worth $4.50. The third

was awarded to Henry Grignon, while to
John Denison and George Andrews were
given the gold and silver medals of the
club, which they held from last year.
Speeches were made by others present
at the meeting. and considerable enthusi-
asm was manifested in the race.
The first road race of the club occurred |
in 1885, and the medals were at that time |
won by Everett l.. Howard and VIII E. |
llobson. For few years the races failed
to come Oft, though it was the plan of the

A hotel-keeper near New York city

little more about English than he does.
His suburban hotel stands in the GEN.
tire of a yard filled with large trees.
When the proprietor wanted to call at
tention to this advantage, he put on his
cards, THE best shady hotel around
New York" The reputation of the
place is beyond reproach, and the pro-

About the end of January. or when
tae sun again appears above the hori-
zon, many families at the two Eskimo
villages near Point Barrow, in Alaska,
leave their winter houses and travel in
iand seVenty-hve or one hundred miles
TO hunt reindeer along the upper waters
OF the large rivers that flow into the
Arctic Ocean east of the point. Hero
they encamp in large, comfortable
snow houses, usually dug out in solid
snoWdrift. Like all Eskimo winter
houses, these are entered by means of
long, low tunned, and opening out of
one side of the tunnel there is a fire.
place built of snow slabs.
A young man and his wife moved
down from Point Barrow after winter
had set in, and, as there was no ac-
commodation for them in any of the
permanent wooden houses. they built
themselves small hut from blocks of
snow and rooted it over with saileloth
L made them visit one afternoon. and
found the house pretty cold and I'M
comfortable, in spite of the large stone
lamp that was burning all the time.
The entrance tunnel was about ten
1eet long; at the left hand as YOU en-
tered, and close to the door, was the
fireplace. This was about two and one
half feet square, and neatly built of
slabs of snow with a smoke hole at the
top and stick stuck across at the
proper height to hang a pot on. When
the first fire is built in such a fireplace
there is considerable melting of the
surface of the snow, but as soon as the
nre is allowed to go out this freezes to
hard glaze of ice, which afterwards
meits only very little. These fire.
places are used only for cooking. as the
Eskimos rely wholly on the oil lamp
-or warming the dwelling.-Lippin.

A New Theory.

Ii Prof. Coin desires to begin the world
again with new theory, he should con-
slider one recently placed before the pub
lie. 1t is that dollar wheat is twin with
Republican success. In 1888, under Ar
thur, the average price of wheat was 81
cents bushel. During Cleyeland's first
term the average was 7S cents. When
Harrison was president, wheat varied from
S4 cents to 80 cents. Cleveland's second
election sent it down at once to 63 cents.
and 1t continued to tumble until it reached
~ cents, the lowest price in a century. In
the first months of McKmley's administrs-
ton dollar wheat has returned. Now be, g
is theory, with all the figures open to the
world that promises to stand the test. Let
Prof. Coin reassemble his school and try.
once more to adjust the plastic minds to
mathematical truth.

What Nssms1 fssss ars Like.

Nutmegs grow on little trees, which
LOOK like small pear trees, and which
are not over 20 feet high. The flowers
are very much like the lily-of- the
valley. They art very pale and fra
grant. The nutmeg is the seed of the
fruit. and mace is the thin covering
over the seed. The fruit is about the
size Of a peach. When ripe it breaks
open and shows little nut inside.
The trees grow on the islands of Asia
and tropical America. They bear fruit
20 or SO years, having ripe fruit on
them all the season. A fine tree in
Jamaica has over four thousand nut
lnegs on it every year
The Dutch used to have all this nut
meg trade, as they owned the Banda
islands. and conquered all the other
traders and destroyed all the trees. To
keep the price up they burned three
piles of nutmegs, each of which was
said to be as big as a church
Nature did not sympathize with such
meanness. The nutmeg. pigeon. found
in all the Indian islands, did for the
world what the Dutch had determined
should not be lone-carried the seeds,
which are their food, into all the sur
rounding countries.
