Cuinea Pigs and Rntx.

The hundreds of people who see queer little animals called guinea pigs in the show windows of bird stores know that they are of any use except for pets. It is said that rats will not stay in the same building with guinea pigs and for that reason they are in great demand by chicken raisers. who usually suffer by having peeps" carried off by rodents. Besides this the animals cost absolutely nothing to keep, as they will eat anything and everything and seem to thrive on nothing but grass. They are very prolific. One pair will rSar a dozen young every year.

 Fournier is in deadly earnest in his determination to attain speed of for ty-f1ve miles an hour. To see him on one of his test trips is a sight never to be forgotten. He flies along with bulging eyes fixed on the ground over which he is flying, hair streaming in the wind and the pulling motor W wirA ing at such a speed as to mak

 His performance suggests the grave danger that would accompany trips such as his on a road where similar machines are dashing along. Fournier alone on a level, smooth road, with no one to kill but himself, and no machine to smash but his own. is Q sight sufli- ciently thrilling Multiply the sight by ten, and imagine that number of Fourniers mounted on flying automatic tricycles, and the spectator cannot help think-n that this would make navel and sure method of committing suicide

A SPEEDY TRICYCLE..
HENRY FouRNlER HAS SUCCEEDED IN
 MAKING 45 MILES AN HOUR.

The Machine is Light, Easy te Manage and
 Powerful, But the Speed Is Dangerous
 and No One Else Cares to Try IL Future
 Improvements.
 Like the question of reducing to three days the time it takes t3 cross the Atlantic, the increase of the bicy- cle's speed to a point where the rider can travel as speedily and as safely as on a railroad train, is one of the things that seems bound to be attained. It is as surely a coming achievement that awaits us in the future as is the per- teeting of the machinery of the ocean greyhound so that the present speed of the marine flyers can be doubled. In the days when bicycles run at a speed Of forty-fve miles an hour a clear track will be absolutely necessary, so that with locomotive engine pace will have to come a special track for the wheel men, desirable improvement that will be welcomed by all lovers of the wheel The attainment of the speed named by the bicycle seems to be in the hands of Henri Fourniel, who has become known as the king of automobilists. What Fournier does not know about the petroleum tricycle. may as well be omitted from the wheelman,s educa tion.
 At present he uses the petroleum tri- cycle of the Dion-Bouton kind, with a 11a horse power machine, averaging forty kilometres an hour. The machine is comparatively light, easy of manip- ulation and powerful. It is fitted with a motor of from one to three horse power, it's hill climbing and speed ca- pabilities being gauged thereby.

THE INDIAN FIGHTER
INDIVIDUAL FIGHTING HIS STYLE, AND
 TIME HASN'T CHANGED IT.

It Is Seldom That an Order Is Given
 Him in BattIe-The United states Reg
 uIar Knows His Traits and Is Ex-
 pert at the Game.
 The Indian method of fighting, as shown at Leeeh Lake, is unique type of warfare and as such is a subject of great interest to foreign military men. The United States regular soldier is an expert at it, and has learned to fight the Indian as the Indian fights him. Military attaches sent by foreign gog- ernments to observe the Spanish Amer ican war asked many questions from American officers on this topic. and considered the veteran Indian fighter, represented by such men as Generals Chaffee and Kent. as one of the best types of soldiers.
 Individual fighting is the Indian style. It was so in the days before the revolution, and century has not chang ed it. The Indian has adopted many innovations taught him by the white man. He usually wears store clothes" in these days and lives in house, even if it is only a log hut But he fights as his forefathers did, seeking 10 gain an advantage over his foe by ambush or some other form of strategy. The Indian who can hide behind rock or tree and shoot down an unsuspeeting foe who Is passing is considered much more of hero than one who will fight in the open and die brayely facing the enemy.
 Indians on the Warpath are eom- manded by chiefs, who are generally elected at a council fire. These chiefs are usually the heads of large families and command squads of from twenty to 100 men, composed of their brothers. sons, cousins and other relatives. One of the chiefs is known as the Great Chief" and is usually given this rank for prowess In war or hunting. He oc- cupies something like tho same relatic1 to the forces under him that gene or colonel has in the United Sti' army, but his authority is much ,s.5re restricted and Is exercised only ', are cases.
 The usual method in fight, h as that at Leech Lake, is for the c.sl advance and his men to follow him, keeping near enough to see his move ments and acting In conformity with them. When the foe approaches with in range general firing begins, one of the chiefs usually setting the examr.s. When his men see him fire they fire. too, and so the rattle of the gun be- comes general.
 It is seldom that an order is given to an Indian in battle He follows his chief, picking out individual foes and fighting them individually. His seant eommissary and quartermaster's ar~ rangements are attended to by squaws.
 The United States regular, when tgbting Indians, adopts their tactics .4ey when the Indians are near. The
 Airmish formation is then used and the men dodge behind trees or rocks, but they listen for and quickly obey orders of their officers. If hard press ed they usually assemble and th31w up hasty intrenchments, wlere they can pour a collective fire into ny foe that may attack them.

The Blessing of SeIf-Dependence

There is much wisdom in these
words of Emerson's: There Ia a time
in every mans education when he ar
rives at the conviction that envy is ig-
norance: that imitation is suicide: that
he must take himself for better or for
worse as his portion: that though the
wide universe is full of good, no kernel
of nOurishing corn can come to him
but through his toll bestowed On that
plot of ground which is given to him
to till
It is great hour for young man
when there flashes into his soul the
conviction, like new revelation from
heave n, that he must make his own
life, whatever that life is to be: that q o
other can do it for him. Too many
people spend their whole lifetime hop
ing that somebody will do something
fine for them, make a great opportun-
ity for them, set them where life will
easily be a success.
If only they would learn early that 1t
is impossible for anyone really to do
much for another, that every man must
bear his own burden, and would reso-
lutely set to work to make the most of
their own life, the angels would not see
so many pitiful failures in this world as
they now see. Gods help is given to
those who are ready to help themselves.
But even God does not do things for US
he bids US do the things, and then IS
we do our best he strengthens and
guides us.-EXchange.

ENENTS IN CUBA
Universal Suffrage on Island Would
Mean Black Republic.

A leading Havana merchant, Gu
ban having business connections with
most cities of the islands, and who
claims to be we'll posted regarding Gu
ban affairs, says, in an interview, that
universal suffrage in Cuba would mean
a black republic in the near future;
that the only means of preventing it
is the incorporation of the island as q
part of the United Safes as a state, ter
ritory or colony, leading to American
immigration, inter-marriages, the en-
richment of the population. In his
judgment, Cuba is otherwise doomed
TO become another Haiti.
His predictions are based on the fact
that the population, not exceeding
100000, with voting capacity OF
400, 900, the Spaniards number only
so. 600, white Cubans $1,000 and those
claiming to be white 25, 900, while the
blacks number 100000 in voting
strength. His theory is that more than
half the Spaniards under system OF
universal suffrage would not vote, ana
that the number who would vote must
inevitably diminish. The Cubans, who
will no longer have the fresh blood OF
Spanish immigrants to draw on, Will
gradually grow fewer, while on the
other hand the blacks, who thrive in
this climate and are big, strong and
healthy. will increase at q rapid rate.
The result will be, he believes, that in
fifty years there will be more than
2, 900, 900 negroes in the island and less
than $50, 900 others.
Even in the first election" he de-
clsres. 1.-THE blacks could carry every
thing their own way, If they kew their

One of the most picturesque and de-
lightful sections of North Carolina is
what is known as the Sapphire country.
This section is located near Brevard,
N. c., at an average altitude of 1900
feet, and abounds in many beautiful
streams and grand water falls.
OF the many attractive features, per-
haps among the most interesting and
picturesque points are Fairfield and
Sapphire Lakes. No where else in the
south at tn altitude are there such
bodies of water. There are towerin 2
cliffs, rising abruptly for a thousand
feet from their shores and cascades OF
rsre beauty falling directly into the
lakes from the lofty table land sur
rounding.
On account of the elevation of this
section, it is very healthy, and parti-
calarly adapted to those troubled with
hay-fever, being also free from all ma
laria or other diseases. A record of
the temperature kept at Sapphire for
four years, shows an average of SO de-
grees for the entire summer.
Sapphire Inn, Fairfield Inn, and The
Lodge, afford excellent Accommodations
for guests.

the Sapphire country, call on any
