BICYCLE ACCIDENT.

AS John Gould, of Lehman, was
driving home from Port Jervis
Monday afternoon, near Shanno's
he was overtaken by Mrs. w. E.
Kern, of pingmans, who was riding
a wheel, and in attempting to pass,
as she came just opposite the for
ward wheel of his wagon, her BIZ
cycle struck a stone and she was
thrown in front of it, and imme-
diately behind one of the horses.
The horse kicked and fortunately
missed her, but the wagon wheel
passed over her stomach. The
wagon, heavy one, was loaded
with coal, and the wonder is she
was not instantly killed. Mr.. Gould
helped her to arise and placed ber
on his wagon, but she was not able
to ride, and resumed her journey on
foot. Soon after, being overtakeu
/ by Mr.. Adams, she was conveyed TO
her home and DR.. Hughes summon
ed, who found no bones broken, but
severe intecnal bruises, which may
develop serious results.

vines, and there areferns, moses
and lichens for the ground work.
A stump placed prominently holds
q birds nest containing one large
egg labeled: This big egg was
produced by feeding the birds our
seed-10 cents a box" Directly
above the log in the vines is anoth-
er nest containing five smaller eggs
of different colors. A bird is sit
ting over the eggs trying to pro-
tect them from a snake which is
crawling up into the nest. In the
foreground is heaped up a guam
tity of birdseed in boxes which are
marked "Pure bird seed which
even the wild birds eat" The whole
display is origional and attracks a
deal of attention.

NEW ENGLAND FAIR.

There are fairs and fairs, but that
mammoth exhibition at Rigby Park.
Portland, known the country over as
the New England Fair, is by far the
most pretentious, the most famous
and most interesting and instructive
of any that are held.
In arranging the program NJ no efforts
are spared, and liberal prizes have
been offered in every line, and the
result is apparent, for the entries in
every department have have far sur
passed the anticipation of the man
agement
There are departments devoted to
Agriculture, cattle. Horses, Horticul-
ture, Horticulture, Poultry, Dairy Pro-
ducts and the varied branches of the
household, and every one Of them is
directed by persons whose experience
is sufficient to assume success,
1t is customary at all fairs to have
horse racing, but at the New England
Fair the races are conducted by the
Maine Mile Track Association, and
purses amounting to 1000 are offer
ed. In the entries are horses from all
over the country and the National
Trotting Association rules govern.
The races at Rigby during the pre-
sent season have been record break
ers, and the events of the coming
week will also be we'll worth see
ing.
In the afternoon of each day be-
tween the heats there will be given
an entertainment of the Vaudeville
class that will be beyond compari-
son.
There will also be bicycle races in
which the New England leaders will
contest, and that pacing wonder cal
batross", will give exhibitions of pac-
ing without harness every day.
Of course. there will be the usual
contests of strength between cattle
and horses, and in fact there is no de-
fecting of this great show.
At the City Hall in Portland there
will be exhibitions which you should
not miss, and concerts by bands and
orchestras will be given at frequent
intervals.
Everybody expects to visit the Mid
way and side shows without which no
fair is complete, and. taking every
thing into consideration, this is an
event you should not miss
The fair is to be held at Rigby Park
South Portland, on August 23d to goth
inclusive, and on those dates the Bos-
ton & Maine Railroad will sell reduced
rate tickets to Rigby Park from near
~ every station on its system, and the
rate, which is very low, will include
an admission to the Park, and trains
will run every five minutes between
Portland and Rigby Park, while all
suburban trains on the days of the
Fair will make regular Stops at the
Park.

Here is another. Of course this did
not happen to me. It was a friend of
mine. He went to the summer garden
and saw the beautiful Miss Blondin
perform on the trapeze. He watched
her 1.-the and graceful evolutions and
her beautiful face and form, and his
young and inhamable heart had an at
tack of spontaneous combustion. He
managed to get an Introduction and
after many compliments requested per-
mission to call the next day at her
hotel. It was granted most graciously.
The next day at the appointed time,
with beautiful bouquet in his hand
and his heart in his throat he presents
himself. He was shown into room
where he found a well dressed lady,
gentleman of good manners ahd two
little golden haired girls.
He almost lost his breath and did
lose the bouquet.
Miss BIondin smiled her most be-
witching smile and said: "You are
welcome, sir. Allow me to introduce
my husband, Mr.. Smith, and my two
little girls. Perhaps you did not know
that my private name was Smith?

A FABLE.

Once upon time there was a great
storm and when it passed on its way
it encountered circus in which there
was trained Jackass. The wind
picked up the Jackass and after dash
ing him into paint shop and by Pc
culiar coincidence getting his hide all
over striped with paint, it landed him
on the top of tower which was just
large enough for him to stand on it.
Upon this flock of People and also a
large concourse of Asses gathered and
remarked unto each other, "Behold the
Zebra" And the Ringmaster of the
circus came that way and recognized
the trained Jackass. And he said, "Lo,
1 will give these Asses and People
special performance" And he told the
Jackass to dance. The Jackass was
obedient, but he had never danced in
so small compass before, so he stepped
somewhat gingerly, and 10, all the Asses
said: "The Zebra is afraid" and the
ia -kass understood and was piqued,
and executed several fancy steps, upon
which the Ringmaster told him to be
careful or ne would fall off. And thus
the trained Jackass performed very
prettily, but the Asses said, "He does
not dance as we'll as one of us Asses
could if we were up on the tower" and
they fiicked their ears and looked wise.
But the People said he does well, for
Zebra. What pity he is not man.
But he never can be aught but Zebra
for all his tricks and fancy steps. One
Little Girl, however, said, 81 am sure
he is an Enchanted Prince, and if only
the Wizards who transformed him say
the word he will return to his natural
shape"

REPORT
of Committee on Prison Reform to the
National Congregational Council
Portland, Oregon.

Your committee on prison reform
respectfully submits the following re.
port
Some question has been raised as to
the propriety of the consideration of
the subject of prison reform by the
national council. Your committee
feels that little reflection will con-
vince anyone that the subject is not
only pertinent but has strong claims
upon the attention Of the council, for
the following reasons:
First, the work of prison reform is
pre- eminently a Christian work, be-
cause it is direct effort "tO seek and
to save that which was lost" While
the work Of reformation is not neces-
sarily the same as the work of CONVEX
sion, it is closely analogous to it. There
can be no reformation of a criminal
which does not enlist the active CO.
operation of the will of the individual; );
and the infuneces of religion are uni
versally recognized by those who are
familiar with the work as an essential
factor III any permanent change Of
character.
Our Lord himself furnished the in.
spiration for this work when he said
81 was sick and in prison and ye visited
me-" and the author of the Epistle to
the Hebrews at least suggested the
same thought when he said "Remem-
ber them that are in bonds as bound
with them."
The work of prison reform has a
claim upon the church for the reason
that it is essential to the preservation
of the life of the community. The
church is wisely interesting herself
more than ever before in those things
that concern the social welfare. Many
social reforms appeal to the sentiment
and sympathy of the people at large,
but this one does not so appeal, it must
depend upon consecrated principle for
its support. The encouraging progress
already made demonstrates that it is
not hopeless to anticipate an apprecia-
BILE check in the flood of crime with
its attendant miseries through intelli-
gent effort in this direction. Prison
reform is peculiarly dependent for it's
success upon an educated public SEN
timent, and for the reasons already
stated this education must come large.

My Juvenile soul had reached the age
of eight years, not counting previous
incarnations, when made the first dis
covery that things in this vale of dis
appointments are not always what they
are cracked up to be. 1t was then l
caught the young vicar kissing our
girl Katrina behind the woodshed.
Our Katrina was what is now called
a nurse-lady, but in those primitive
days she would probably have been
called "hired second girl if they had
talked English in my native country.
She was both in body and mind a lively
girl, and L don't really suppose she re-
ceived any lasting injury from the tenn
porary tenderness of the youthful
member of the cloth, and have no idea
that this "hidden passage in her past"
had any inharmonious effects on her
soon after occurring marriage with a
peaceable farmer, but every time after
that when 1 heard the vicar from the
pulpit paint the picture of the "Old
boy" and the great lack of modern i'm
provements in his residence, 1 always
wondered how he had the heart to scare
Katrina so, as she always was in the
church.

pie to learn that illusions were made to

be mashed and lieutenants to be ad-
mired.
