1t appears from an interview withan
insurance agent, says St. Paul's, that
cycling accidents, so far from di-
as riders grow more expert,
are steadily on the increase, and that
the list of mishaps this year Is con-
siderably larger than IL was last year.
One direct consequence of these stntis-
les is said TO be a determination on
lac part of the insurance companies TO
raise the Premium on the cyclists
policies. 1t is further declared that
IN the majority of cases riders fall
o the left, as injuries are almost al
ways located on that side; more ao-
cidents happen in the country than
IN town, and the brakeless machine
ranks second as prolific cause Of ac-
cidents, and greasy roads, occasion
ng side slips, come first.

TO EASE HIS ACHING HEART.
That Was the Reason why the Count
of Turin Paid n visit 20
America.

According to Evelyn" a London
correspondent who reports European
gossip for the Philadelphia Record,
the recent visit Of the count of Turin,
son OF the Italian king, to this coun-
try, and who has been so entertained
by swell society here, was taken TO
seek relief for an aching heart. IN
fact, It is Romeo and Juliet over again.
1t is said, and authoritatively, thar
the count, who is only two removes
from the throne of Italy, is deeply in
love with the daughter Of Prince Rus
poll. She is all that heart of man or
necessities of royalty can demand. 4
princess in her own night, her name
is one of the noblest and most unsul-
lied in Europe, she is neither married
nor betrothed; nor does the king OBJ
ject. but the house of Savoy, the king
of Italy and their political adherents
are known as the "Whites;" the vat
lean party, the old italian party Of
which the pope is the political head,
is called the "Blacks;" between these
two there can be no friendliness, po-
litical nor private. Prince Ruspoh,
father Of the counts love, is a most
uncompromising "Black." For him
to hold communion with follower Of
the house of Savoy would be consid-
cred treason. BLACKS" and whites"
do not even visit each others houses.
A case in point is the Colonnas. One
branch IS for the king, the other for
the church, and they are as estranged

What the Fox shoula, Have Said.

From the Philadelphia Press.
NO" said the man with, the large head;
81 can't say that think very much of the
fox in the old fable OF The Fox and the
Grapes 1t is recorded Of him that, after
trying to get the grapes by every way that
his ingenuity could suggest, he finally
turned up his nose and said, oh, 1 don't
care! they're sour, anyway.
Now, II that fox had any really COM
mendabfe wisdom in his triangular skull he
would have looked at the grapes blandly
and then have announced to the world that
they were sweet. but that sweets didn't
agree with him; that, owing to the condi.
ton Of his stomach. he considered 1t mad
visable to eat anything containing sac
charine matter, and that. besides, a prop
erly philosophical fox believed in self-denial
and in taking things that were easily at his
disposal, instead Of trying to climb a trellis
to secure attractive, but defeterious grapes.
"If he had done that. instead Of being the
laughing stock Of succeeding generations.
he would have stood q good chance of be.
ing appointed professor Of philosophy in a
