Womnn's Pocket and the wheel.
The wheel has done a good deal fof
the physical development Of the new
woman. 4 little incident that hap
pened yesterday on upper Nineteenth
street gave Interesting proof OF this.
A sweet-iaced woman with sllyered
hair and clad In a pain gray dress was
riding slowly along when she saw
ahead OF her a small boy pushing along
on a tricycle. and towing a little blue
cart tied with a string 10 the axle OF
his vehicle. There were more young
aters further Up the street. and the
little chap was looking at them and
trying to put on speed TO reach them
A smile oyerspread the face Of the sill
ver-haired woman. and sudden
thOught seemed TO occur 10 her.
She rode a little slower, held the
handlebar with one hand and with the
other found the pocket in her dress.
Skilfully she guided her bicycle close
20 the little red cart, and as she reach
cd II the dlsengagsd hand drew from
the pocket a big. round. red apple.
which she deity dropped in the little
cart.
The boy did no, hear II and kept on.
The woman rode past. then turned and
came behind, riding slower than be-
fore. The youngster at length reach
ed his playmates and dlsmounted.
As he did so he saw his prize and
Jumped for Il, then looked wonderingly
around to see where & came from.
The lady with the silver hair watch
Cd him as she wheeled past and evil
IDENTITY mad her full reward In the
child's pleasure and establishment.
But the marvel 90 the man who saw
Il from the sidewalk was how a wo-
man could find her pocket on a wheel.

IL. u. Dun d 20. 8 Review for this
week says that the reports from diff
ferent cities disclose wonderful
activity at the chief centres of West
ern trade, the dispatches from Chicago,
st. Paul and st. Louis being especially
significant. To Eastern dealers it may
be hard to realize that such extra
ordinary activity exists at the West,
although their own trade is excellent.
Even in Eastern markets it Is COM
monty said that no larger trade has
ever been known, unless in 1892, but
the Western cities are running things
much after their own taste this year,
having greater advantages than ever
before in heavy bank balances, and,
while the exchanges for the week fall
below those of last year 8, 8 per cent,
they are 13.1 per cent larger than in
the same week in 1892.
Cooke production increases, the out
put at Connellsyille for the week
having been 140, 658 tons, against 1877, :
III for the previous week, and tin Is
somewhat stronger at 16. 10 cents, re-
fiecting an advance at London, while
copper is quiet at 1875 for the lake
and lead comparatively inactive at 4
cents. Tin plates are selling at 50. 821a
lor Iull WelBnC DeSSemef.
The copper production in August
was 10, 50S tons domestic, against 5000
foreign. and the lead production, as
officially reported, has been 1856, 113 tons
for the half year, against 2S9, 59S tons
for the full year 1897.
There is little disposition to secure
trade in wool by concessions, and sales
| for three weeks have been only 10,078,

and credits them to Mark Twain. This
is not unnatural, since they are most
commonly associated with the story
which Mark Twain wrote about the
effect which they had on him in com
mon with everybody else who once had
their Jingle fixed in mind. But Mark
Twain is not the author Of the verses,
They were written by the late Isaac
H. Bromley, aud were first published
in the Tribune. Their origin was due
to a suggestion from colleague Of
Mr.. Bromley, who, in the days of horse
cars, bell punches and various colored
trip slips, had his attention attracted
one night as he was making lonely
journey downtown, to the sign in the
car informing the public that the con-
ductor would punch In the presence
of the passenger The sound drummed
itself into his brain, and the result
was SO curious that he copied the
phrases of the notice and handed then,
to Mr.. Bromley as something which
seemed to him funny. So they. seemed
to Mr.. Bromley, and from them he
evolved the much-quoted lines. Their
publication in the Tribune brought to
the notice of Mark Twain, who found
in them text as he himself says in
his story--its truth being so much
stranger than fiction that his readers
have persisted in regarding it as fiction,
and believing that he wrote the Jingle
for the sake of the tale, and not the
tale because he was torlhented by the
jingle.

Lemon juice sweetened with loaf or

surface, cut of the top, add sugar and
work it down into the lemon with a
fork then suck slowly.
During the warm months a sense of
GOODNESS, comfort and inauguration can

use six large, juicy lemons; roll on a

easily extracted. Peel and slice. Add
sufficient sugar to sweeten, and stir it
we'll into the juice before adding the
water.
Hot lemonade will break up q cold

water instead of cold water, and use
about half as much sugar.
A piece of lemon, or stale bread
moistened with lemon juice, bound on

In the latter part OF the mesozoic age

continent. The lands then above water
were covered with flora peculiar to
the times and were inhabited by some
of tho aniamls which later distin-
guished the cenozoic age. In the seas
were reptiles, fishes and turtles Of
gigantic proportions, armed for offence
or defence. There were also oysterlike
bivalves, with enormous shells, three
or four feet in diameter, the meat Of
which would have fed many people.
In time this great ocean, swarming
with vigorous life, disappeared. Noun.

the monsters to die and bleach in terti-

rising sand bars or lost vitality and

Precisely, said the young man.
She and l figured that out carefully
last night. You see, / have no par

see that there wasn't one chance in a
hundred that you would give her to
me. Then she suggested that you had
never yet refused anything that she
wanted, no matter what the cost might
DO, and that perhaps it would be
good plan to change the usual order
somewhat. We sort Of felt that it
wouldn't be right to ask you to do
anything for me, but it's different in
her case, as remarked before. So I'm
here merely as her agent, to say that
she wants me, that she wants me very
much, and to ask you to please see
that she gets me. She never has
wanted anything SO much as she wants
me, and 1 am so favorably disposed
