Bicycles Abroad.

One comes across bicycles in the
oldest corners. Take Persia, the al.
legged land of gazelle-eyed damsels and
limpid streams, and rose bowers.
There, around the city of Teheran,
may be seen Englishmen and English
girls having a jaunt, just as you might
see them on the Portsmouth road.
When the bicycle was first introduced
into Persia. the late shah, NaSr-i-Din,
while out riding one day. met travel
er on a bicycle. He was immensely
amused and insisted on having race.
Then he borrowed the bicycle, and
had ii taken TO the palace. He insist
ed that his ministers of state should
ride. 1t was more than the head OF
a grand vizier was worth TO refuse, so
the poor ministers jumped on and fell
off. and tried again, and came crop
pers, and altogether were obliged to
supply his majesty with half an hours
excellent amusement. The Persian
dearly loves this sort of uncomfortable
practical joke.
Says q writer: II had an experience
myself at Ispahan, in Central Persia.
with the Zil-i-Sultan, brother of the
present shah. l was spending an after
ternoon at the palace, and the prince,
whose inclinations are chiefly military,
asked me a lot of questions about the
usefulness of bicycles i'm warfare
Unfortunately, my knowledge of war
fare was minimum quantity, and |
could only speak generalities. In the
grounds of the palace | rode up and
down, just to give his highness an idea
of how easy bicycling was. Then he
asked me 10 ride down a particular
path as fast as | could. l didn't see
the gleam in his eye as l set off. |
was going at a tolerably swift speed.
when, to my horror, l spied wall
like drop In front OF me. was off the
machine in trce, and just saved
both neck and bicycle from simultane-
Gus breakage. Turning round, saw
the prince bent double. crimson-faced
and nearing apoplexy from laughter. l
do really believe he would have en-
joyed n smash-up. Since then l have
sometimes thought that, If only had
broken my skull. he might have deco
rated me with the Order Of the Lion
and the Sun.
Burma is country you conceive
to be chiefly made up of thick Jungle
and pagodas. Yet there is plenty of
cycling in the land of the Lord White
Elephant. There is good little club
at Rangoon, and it has runs round the
lakes and occasionally up to Pegu,
some sixty miles away. I'll always re-
member my surprise when l reached
Mandalay, after a sloppy journey along
the jungle paths. l was little eager
to see this famous city. Suddenly the
rough road changed to n good level
macadam: there were cabs rattling TO
the station. and there was pretty
checked English girl, in blouse and
straw hat, on her bicycle. 1t seemed
so strange to find girl cycling away
in that corner of the world! And yet
there are many English cyclists In
Mandalay."

PRICES RAISED.

mended that the rates be fixed at three
fifths of cent, fifty cents per month for
store incandescents, thirty-five for of
flee and $500 for inside arcs. On motion
of Councilman Rowland the recommends
ton was laid on the table for two weeks
Later in the session the matter of in
augurating an all night service was
brought up, and Mr.. Remington of the
fruit evaporator was very desirous of
knowing whether he could secure an all
night service, as in an event of failure
to do so he intended TO put in some
other means of lighting his factory. Then
the recommendation of the committee
was taken from the table, as the council
did not care to take action on the ques-
ton of all night service until the matter
of rates was settled, when Councilman
Miller offered motion, which was sup
ported by Councilman Cole, that the
rates next year be fixed at $3.50 for arcs,
thirty-fve cents for all incandescents by
by the month, and three-fifths of cent
an hour for incandescents on meters.
Councilman Rowland then moved as a
substitute that the rates be fixed the
same as last year, but was unable to Sc
cure a support of the motion. He then
offered as an amendment that the incan-
descent rates on meter be fixed at one
half of cent per hour, which was not
supported. He then offered as an amend
ment that the rate for inside arcs be
fixed at 1925 per month, which was not
supported. The motion as made by Coun-
Gilman Miller was then put to vote, all
members of the council voting in favor
of the raise except Councilman Rowland,
who voted no.
The street committee recommended
that south Kalamazoo street between
the two bridges be graded and graveled,
in accordance with diagram made by
Engineer Colburn, and that five foot
cement walk be built on the west side
of the street between the bridges All
the members of the board realized the
desirability of this work and the only
opposition was on account of the fact
that the village has no funds and has
already borrowed heavily this year
However, the recommendation was
adopted, all members of the board voting
in favor of it except Councilman Row
land, who voted no.
The water committee reported that
they believed the time had come wher
the superintendent can attend to tapping
water mains, and were accordingly in
structed to purchase tapping machine
They were also instructed to run a two
inch pipe to the evaporator and to make
a special rate for service through the
season.
Claims were allowed amounting tC
s1,34762 which was just a little more
than the village had to its credit in the
bank at the time of the meeting. This
fact will give an idea of the financial
condition of the village. Among the
claims allowed was fifty dollars for in
terest for the next year, on the wat
erwork bonds August l, on the under
standing with the First National Banl
that the bond would not be presented
for payment for one year This amounts
to the borrowing of another Thousand
dollars in addition to what has alread,
been borrowed this year.

and hearty interest, had bound our
