GRENADA A CLOSED CENrEn,

1
For several days Grenada has been
practically sealed against its tributary
country, egress and ingress being al.
most closed TO travel. The wretched
condition OF the roads interferes seri-
ously with traffic, and farmers who
are in need of supplies must exercise a
spirit OF self-denial and dispense with
Them for the time being. Merchants
and business men generally feel the
dearth OF trade, through the absence
OF country custom, which is inaccessi-
Die to them. The loss inflicted upon
the town is beyond computation. Trade
lansuishes and currency becomes con-
tracted. Products OF the farm which
SO largely enter into home consump-
tlon are excluded from the market.
and many conveniences REQUIRED by
ooth the farmers and townsfolk. must
be sacrificed to the arbitrary condi-
tlons suggested by defective roads.
Inc detriment suffered by public in
terests from the lack of passable high
ways is seriously felt, and furnishes
lrretutable arguments In favor of i'm.
proved thoroughfares, whatever NAV
be the cost. In the end the expenses
incurred will be overcome by the ad,
dltlon to property valuations, increased
revenue to the business man and tra-
der, and boon to the people at large.

CYCLING ABROAD.

A gay recklessness characterizes
Partisan wheeling costumes, but cy-

A new regulation is IN force in France
compelling every bicycle to bear a

may avoid this law if their stay does
not exceed three months.
One American was struck with hor-

tandem racing down a steep hill with
the utmost cheerfulncss and unconcern.
The riders do not think it necessary to
sit straight and still on their wheels,
but throw themselves about rather u4l-
gracefully.
The rules of the road in France are
peculiar and lead foreigners into griev-
Gus accidents. Steering as well as bal

and the American who is used to turn
ing to the right at home or the English
man who reverses matters and turns to
the left are equally at sea.
The French girls do not enjoy their

They may not ride alone and even in

THE DAFFoDIL BLOSSOMS.

The ancient Greeks held these blooms
in high esteem, and u crown of the gold
en- blossoms woven in honor of the gods
was placed upon the heads of the dead.
The old poets were fond of the datfo-
dill. Wordsworth's verses are familiar
TO most people, and Herrick's songs
testify to the attention that has been
paid to this pretty blossom.
1t was said that Proserpine was gath
ering da1fodils when she was carried
off by Pluto, and for that reason this
gay flower became the symbol of death.
Homer spoke i'll of it and declared stu
por, madness and death were its at
tributes.
Daffodil is corruption of atfodif1y,
which is derived from Asphodelus. Its
other name is narcissus, and the legend
of the latter name is we'll known-how
Narcissus, for whom a nymph died, was
punished by seeing his own face in a
pool of water and becoming so infatu-
atcd with it that he was spellbound
to the spot till he pinned away and died
and was changed into the flower thaa
bears his name to-day.

A curious custom in connection with
the birth of an heir to the earldom of

brewed, and that the cask remain I'M

GREAT MEN.

Bismarck, when in college, stood first
among his colleagues as a swordsman
and wrestler.
Gladstone was great worker and he
could chop down trees with the Drawn
lest woodsman.
Charles XII. of Sweden, who has been
compared to Alexander the Great,
could stand more fatigue and work
than any of his army.
The lance of Attila, the great Hun,
would be heavy burden for modern
man to carry, but he not only carried
it but used it as weapon of defense.
Great men intellectually have in most
cases been equally great physically.
Washington was the best wrestler and
frcntiersman in Virginia, and Lincoln
strength is well known.
Napoleon had iron nerves. When a
battle was pending he could lie down
peacefully and go to sleep when most
men in his place would have been wor-
ried to death and so nervous that sleep
would not have approached within a
mile of them.
