The Bankers Adventure,

FFom the LAhOre Tr1buDe.
A Marwari banker of elephantine build.
while coming from the station to Anarkali,
Lahore. stood UP in his second-class CARL
near the Shahalmi Gate to adjust his dhoti.
No sooner he was on his feet, to his horror,
the bottom of the conveyance gave way!
With his well-known presence Of mind
he realized the situation even as he fell,
and began running for dear life, In spite of
being badly shaken. The drunken Jehu
would not hear his shouts to stop. At last,
near the tramway-stand, some one saw
his legs working with marvellous rapidity
under the conveyance and gave the alarm.
The cabby had the impudence to demand
his full fare. and was getting noisy and
abusive, when a proposal was made by
some bystanders to give him a plunge bath
in the adjoining canal, and the fellow
then hastily drove of.

How Labor Union. Discriminate.

John s. Durham In the Atlantic.
An incident once occurred at Tuskegee
itself which is a sharp reminder of the
labor unions discrimination against col
ored workmen. The school had a contract
In tinsmithing which required that the
work be done in a shorter time than 1t was
possible for the students to do 1t alone.
The manager Of the tin shop sent to Mont
gomery for tinsmiths. They came, but
when they found that they would have to
work with the colored students. who had
already begun the job they declined. sx-
planning that the rule of their union for
bade their working with colored men. The
manager firmly declared that they must
work with the students or not at all. They
had spent their money to go to Tuskegee,
and they were indignant that they were
bound by such rule; but, fearing the sub
sequent resentment of their fellow crafts
men at Montgomery, they spent the day In
idleness. and at night went home. The
union offered no obstacles to their working
for colored mans money. The men per-
sonally, In this instance. had no feeling
against the students. There was mo- race
.Antipathy shown by the incident; 1t was
simply the ancient idea of exclusion, Of
obstruction, asserting itself through the
union with perfect and In this case disas-
tr0us consistency.

Ruxsia's Military Strength.

From the London Army and Navy Gazette
Following the visit of their president to
Russia the French papers have been in
structing their readers on the forces pos
sessed by that country. The Russian army,
founded by a ukase of 1870 on universal liza
bility to service, can draw upon annual re-
cruiting lines of something like 100000 in
Europe and 10000 I'm Asia, but in time of
peace many cases Of exemption are ad-
mitted, and only about a quarter of the
above numbers. or some 10000 in all, are
called out. The liability is for twenty
years service, commencing at the age of
twenty-one. OF this period five years have
to be passed with the colors but this NAV
be reduced to four for men of better edu-
cation than the average, and even to
three and two for young men joining direct
from the secondary and superior schools.

Putting Out Fires in Japan.

the LONDON Chrop1cle.
When lecturing on free trade at the Ma
tional Liberal Club the other day, Alfred
Mines gave an amusing Illustration of ex-
IRENE protection. Having remarked that
fire like that in the Cripplegate would
be mere nothing in Japan, where he had
seen several squares miles Of buildings
alight at time, Mr.. Mines mentioned
that when at the naval college, Toxic on
one occasion, he was interested to come
across first-rate fire engine of British
make. To his establishment he was told
that 1T was never used. not because it was
out of order, but because it had been
found to put the fire out! 1t appeared that
the government had prohibited it's use on
the ground that 1t would throw the native
fremen out Of work! But that was TWEEN
ty-five years ago. and they no doubt man
age these things differently in Japan now
adays.

FrOm the PhiIadeIph1a Record.
The "warmest" novelty at the cycle
show In Paris was pedal for cold weather
The feature of the pedal was a little stove
within. You put a cake of charcoal inside
the stove door arrangement of the pedal,
apply the match and there you are, as
warm as morning in daytime.
A dealer named Camille Portal showed
folding pedal at that same show. The
pedal was of the ordinary kind, fitted to
the crank by cleverly constructed elbow
attachment, permitting the pedal to be
folded against the outer surface of the
crank and thus to be shielded against acct
dents and occupy a small space in being
transported on the railway.

HIGH HANDLE BARS.

Truly tits said that History
Doth oft repeat itself
And customs Of the long ago
Forsake their dusty shelf
And once again, now modelled o'GP
In some new-fangled way,
Become a high end mighty law
To suit the present day.
Thus mighty Julius, when the world
Bowed knee to Caesars throne,
Forbade the use Of coats Of steel
To all but men Of Rome;
And SO in England's early days
None but MY Lord Your Grace
Could wear a wig and ruf1ed rig
Or doutlet trimmed with lace.
Old Cromwell and his commonwealth
Made most astounding laws;
Some regulations to restrict
Is found in every clause.
Most every land had foolish rules
OF small utility,
Such the style Of wagons used
By each nobility.
To-day we laugh at China's 'fads''
And smiling, question whether
1t matters II Ii has a two
Or threeeyed peacock feather;
And yet behold here comes a law
Beneath our mandates seal
Which regulates the style OF bars
We have upon our wheel.
Again comes medieval rule,
Why not complete the yoke
And charge IS IL one rides
Aught but the tangent spoke.
Or make a law forbidding us
TIL Power change her mood,
To fit wheel with other than
A certain single tube.
And so pass on to regulate
The style and slant of seat,
The weight, enamel, color
And the toe-clips for the feet;
The cat and shape Of boomers:
Pitch and tone of warning bell;
For whatever is worth doing
10 worth doing good and well.
