HE PROBABLY PASSED.
Singular Report of Railway APP
pIicant for Examination for
Color Blindness.

In railroad circles new story is going the
rounds, says the Kansas City Star. The
Burlington not long since issued an order
recurring all its section foremen to report to
an oculist on certain day and have their
ewes examined. One afternoon after those
present had undergone the examination
and the eye doctor was about to close up
for the evening a messenger boy rushed in
with small package neatly tied up in tissue
paper and which proved to be glass eye.
The following and evidently hurried scrib-
bled note was attached:
Quincy, Il.-Oye inspector: Dear Sur:
The day befoor Yesterday, at nune, got
word to cume down and have me Use looked
into for culur blindness as We call it. had
forty-five ties and ten rales to put down be-

BOTH HAVE RIGHTS.
BicycIists and Pedestrians Who Act
with Common Courtesy Need
Never Have Trouble.

= The season is not far distant when
the bicycle will glide noiselessly and
swiftly over the streets to the danger
of passing pedestrians. There are
laws on the subject, and yet it has
never been established to a satisfac-
tory degree what are the rights of BIZ
cyclists and what are the rights of pc
destrians. Each insists in words and
by actions that the other has no
rights. Practical possession of the
streets is claimed by wheelmen and
vehicles, and yet pedestrians are COM
rrled by circumstances and the pc
culiarities of city construction to use
the streets at intersections. No mat
ter what right bicyclists may have
on the streets in general, the cross
ings belong to pedestrians.
There are certain distinctions and
niceties of etiquette that could be fol-
lowed by both riders and walkers
which would obviate the ceaseless
controversies. First of all it should
be understood that both have rights
that must be respected. The reckless
scorcher is no more privileged to ped
al his machine along a crowded
street at lightning speed than a pc
destrian is privileged to place his cane
in the spokes of the riders wheel,
finging him to the ground. Both are
offenses against the written and the
unwritten laws. Both are disgraceful
.as well as dangerous performances
and both are public grievances, for no
man knows but that he will be the
next victim of one or both of the two
idiots
There is a simple distinction be-
tween bicyclists and pedestrians that
should make easy the enactment and
enforcement of all necessary laws for
the protection of the public, both
walking and riding The bicycle is a
vehicle and should be given the priv
ileges and protection accorded other
vehicles. no more, no less. The bicy-
clists that will soon be skimming
along the streets should have this i'm
pressed upon them by those in author
ity.-Cincinnati Times Star.

TOO LITTLE DEBATE.
Senator Green's Opinion of the Serv-
ices Held in an Episcopal
Church.

Senator Benton, of Missouri one of the
most conspicuous figures of the century in
either house of congress, had formidable
antagonist in Senator James Stephen Green.
Congressman HIT, according to the Chicago
Chronicle, relates this anecdote Of the two
gladiators:
Senator Green was not only man of
splendid genius, but of charming manner.
He boarded at the National hotel, where he
was popular with men and women. The
latter found out that the senator was not
much of a churchgoer and insisted that he
should mend his ways in that regard. One
Sunday he was late for dinner. The women
asked him why.
az have been attending divine worship
replied the senator, gravely.
g TO what church did you go, senator"
asked a woman.
81 don't know answered the courtly
Missourian. 1 walked up the avenue, turned
up Fourth street and entered a church on
the left-hand side This was an Episcopal
church.
Glow did you like the services?' asked
another woman.
So 1t appeared to me, answered the SEN
ator that there was too much reading of the
journal and too little debate"

Grease Keeps the Mud OF.

Bicyclists who ride in muddy wealth
will find that the machine will take
harm from the mud and that there
is no necessity to have it cleaned imme-
diately, providing the owner takes care
to keep the metal work in a greasy
condition. This may be effected by
rubbing all the tubing, spolles, rims,
ETC., with an oily rag during the clean
ing process. Take care not to wipe
the oil off, but have the metal in
greasy state. The double result will
follow that the metal will not be liable
to rust from the mud and moisture
and the mud will come off readily when
the machine is cleaned. 1t is also a
good plan to smear some vaseline over
all The lubricating holes, so as to rem
deI them impervious to damp.

BICYCLE LICENSE TAGS.
Not Used Very Extensively in Thu
Country, But Quite an Institu-
ton In Europe.

~ In France and elsewhere where BIZ
cycle owners have to pay special tax
on their wheels name plates are re-
CURED by law, giving the name of the
owner, the license number and such
other information as may be necessary.
In this country the license tag is not at
all general, but is usually resorted to
only in local districts, as, for instance,
where club pays the toll for the use
of the turnpike by it's members for the
season. This arrangement is very con-
venient, as it enables the rider of a
wheel carrying license tag to ride
past the several toll gates without the
annoyance of dismounting. The new
device here illustrated, patented by

A Peculiar German Law,

Inventors in German factories have
a hard time to profit by their brain
work, according to a report to the
state department by Consul General
Guenther at Frankfort. He cites the
case of a foreman who invented sub
stance used in finishing velvet. Be
cause he impaired his invention to
persons outside of the firm for which
he worked the foreman was tried and
convicted of revealing a trade secret,
although this secret was his own. The
German court took the ground that it
was a duty of the foreman to make ex-
neriments; that his inventions be-
longed to his employers, and that he
had no right to expose them.

and the outer face of the spoon will
cause the wheel to be retarded without
wear upon the tire.
The position of the brake lever is
such that a downward pressure there
on will not apply the brake, but will
allow the rider to rest his feet upon
it or to use it as step to dismount, if
desired. To apply the brake the rider
win place his foot on the upper end of
the lever and press it forward, thereby
moving the spoon and the endless band
rearwardly into engagement with the

Snmbo and the Freshman

An American writer tells good story OF
his college days. 1t relates to negro gar
dener, jolly fellow, with whom the boys
he would floor them with his repartee.
One day in spring Sambo had been burning
the college green in order to get rid of the
old withered grass. a freshman came along,
and. thinking to have some fun, shouted:
Say, there, Sambo, you ought not to burn
that stuff
"Why?" inquired Sambo.
Because" replied the freshman, cit il
make that grass as black as you are
"Wer. massa,' retorted Sambo, "dat's all
right. Yes, dat's all right. Never you fear;
dat ere grass'll come up and be as green as
you are!"-London Answers.

Automobiles for Towing.

Probably the best type of automo-
bile is one which will be used for tow
ing purposes on the Erie canal, and
which will be sufficiently powerful to
haul from six to ten canal boats at
the time. This machine is now in
process of construction, and so SAN
guine of success are its designers that
preparations are being made for turn
ing out more of them.
