SPANISH PROVERBS.

Proverbs uncomplimentary to the
fair sex are common in Spain: "A
woman, like pavement, should be
well trampled on to be kept In ORDER"
"A woman is like a candle; twist her
neck II you wish her to be good"
Beware OF bad woman, and do not
trust good one" Crying in a woman,
and limping In dog, is all a sham"
"A cock Crows on his own dunghill, but
sssens cackle everywhere" (this In
reference to the supposed garrulousness
ard inquisitive disposition OF the sex) !:
Show me maybe without a spot,
and will show you a woman without
a fault" In English, counterparts are
not warrington example:
:" A woman, dog, and walnut tree
fhe more you beat the better they be."
Mother-ln-law and stepmothers come
In for a good deal of sarcasm; some Of
the proverbs in regard to them will not
stand translation. OF a man who Is
accounted lucky they say: 'If he fell
from the roof OF house he would fall
on the top OF his mother-in-law."--

The Motor Cycle.

summer, One made in New York has
been ridden over a thousand miles.
The motor is attached to an ordinary
road wheel, and with the wheel weighs
sixty pounds. 1t is only twelve inches
in height, and develops one-horse
power. The wheel is fitted with a
coaster brake and the current is
switched off by the hand.
Three other motors have been heard
Ozone from San Diego that may also
be attached to any wheel. The one
presented in the picture is from Colam-
bus, Ohio 1t has gasoline engine
and develops one-half horse power
The bicycle is built with wheel base
four inches longer than the average or
about forty-eight inches from hub to
hub of the wheels. The extension is
made in the rear triangle SO as to af.
ford room for the motor to rest on the
rear forks, back of the seatpost tube.
The appurtenances are within the
frame lines. The power Is transmitted
by means of belt to large pulley on
the rear wheel The sprocket chain
runs between the engine and the fly
wheel on the right hand side, while the
transmission belt runs on the left hand
side to its sheave on the rear axle.
Here again Is used the coaster brake,
which seems to have been developed
just in time for the motor cycle. Be
sides being longer in the wheel base,
this wheel is an inch wider in the tread
than ordinary, but the disposition of
the motor seems to be more advantag
eous than in either of the other cases
In Boston special plant has been
started to turn out type OF motor
cycle that is distinctly an automobile
because not provided with pedals. The
motor in this instance is the whole
thing" and not an auxiliary power, all
though the cycle is an individual ma
schine.
In all these first corners OF the indi-
vidual motor cycle field ii is striking
TO note the unanimity with which the
gasoline motor has been adopted,
Neither electricity nor steam has been
appealed TO, the necessary weight In
yolved being an objection in both
cases, while against storage batteries
Is laid the additional trouble they
might cause in touring through the
country where no charging station
might be found.
One phase that motor cycling has at
its inception is that II will pretty ef-
feetually bar out women. They must
be willing to mount the diamond frame
and have nerve enough to run the en-
engine. The only hope Of the gentlei
sex is In tandems, and even on them
they will be required to be cool-headed
quick Of eye and strong armed, for they
will have to do the steering, while theil
escorts tend the engine. II will bs
something more than play to steer Z
tandem going at even twenty miles AZ
hour to say nothing of a thirty-mll'
clip.

approval is valued perhaps in pro.
portion to its rarity.
On this occasion he made a speech,
which is not surprising, but he told
some relative truths about Boston and
Philadelphia which are truths because
they came from him. He said that the
Hub is for the present thing Of TIE
mind and fancy at the under
side of the wave, a bold adj
mission, but that Philadelphia
possesses the three national leaders in
fiction and medicine. in criticism, and
in philosophical history; and he ramsd
them-Dr. S. Weir Mitchell. DR.. Horace
Howard Furness, author OF The
Variorum Shakespeare. and DR.. Henry
C. Lea, author of Superstition and
Force" and that these three eminent
names gave the palm to Philadelphia
in the realm of intellect. Moreover,
the chary critic insisted that Dr. Weir
Mitchell's last poem. lode on Lycian
Tomb" stands at the head of American
lyric poetry.
The Tavern Club used its cultured
lungs in support of these sentiments,
and the modest Quaker citizen will
doubtless blush at the honors thus
heaped upon him.-Lippineott

classes OF preachers. those who have
something to say. and those who have
to say something. Practically, how
ever there is only one class and that is
the latter. Every minister who has
been two years in orders is Grazing the
faculties of his soul trying to think Of
something worth preaching which he
has not already preached. How shall
a clergyman feed his brain while his
brain feeds him? Nowhere under
heaven can you find man who is more
in need OF leisure for study and refiec-
ton and undistribed personal and in
tellectual growth than the preacher.
Results depend quite as much upon the
preparation of the man as upon the
preparation of the discourse. Good
sermons are not constructed; they
evolve. 1t is best that the mind should
at times lie fallow. Though writing in
prose, the preacher is the bard of the
spiritual highlands, and his mental
movements resemble. or should re-
semble, those of a poet.-Henry J.
Barrymore in the Forum.

The Taverners are merry company

FROM THE MARES MOUTH.

Sis Robert Finlay, the new attorney
general, like most counsel with a large
practice, knows what 1t is to receive
disconcerting reply from an apparently
guileless witness, and tells good story
against himself In illustration. He
was engaged ON a case OF breach Of
warranty OF horse, the age of the
animal being the chief matter in dis
pute and had to cross-examine a
hostler, a yokel with every appearance
OF rustic simplicity. Upon what
authority do you swear to the age OF
the mareg" he asked. I'm sure of it,
was the reply. Half a dozen more
questions failed to elicit from the
witness any more specific answer.
But how do you know" Numbered
Sir Robert at last. II had 1t from tn .

If you ever wheeled up sandy hill
ON hot day you will appreciate the
feeling of the man who was looking for
a motor cycle at a recent cycle show
says the Little Chronicle. He has a

get even with it. He can do it this
summer if he has something like SlOt

a goner. At this stage somebody sug-
gested to throw line and as the ma
Mia hit the water the spectators were
dumbfcrnded to see the struggling
beast seize the end OF the rope in its
mouth, gripping it firmly. In the mean
time boat had reached the scene and,
although a hawser was made fast
about the horses neck, to tow him, he
refused to loosen the rope in his
mouth. In this manner the equine
was towed to a landing and hauled
safely on shore. The second attempt
to load the horse was more success

A BRAINY HORSE.

The almost human effort Of a horse
to rescue himself from drowning in
the bay at Lilly & Borgardus' wharf
Saturday is the talk of the water front.
The horse was a most valuable one, his
owner, John s. Williams Of Tacoma,
setting the price at $1,000. At the
time of the accident, which nearly re-
suited in the loss Of the animal, 1t
was being led from the wharf across
the gang-plank for shipment to Taco
ma. The sudden footing OF a whistle
caused the animal TO shy and slip on
the plank into the water. Great ex-
citement prevailed while the beast

way at Chicago which extends along
the Seine just opposite the Rue de Ma

every evening and its theaters are
usually crowded to the roof while those
in the center of the city are more or
less untitled. During the exposition of
1889 the fair grounds were only open
exposition did not monopolize the at
tention of sightseers, but this year the
grounds are open every evening until
II O'Clock and the majority seem to
prefer the vaudeville shows on the
Rue de Paris to the more serious pro-
auctions of the regular Paris theaters.
The managers are protesting but it is
not likely that any change will be
made in regard to evening admissions
by the exposition authorities and, at
any rate, if present indications count
for anything, it looks as though the
crowd will be large enough in a short
time to give everybody enough and still
have some left over. The number of
admissions to the exposition has taken
a big jump lately and the daily attend
ance now averages about 100000. On
Sunday last the attendance was 100000,
but of all this crowd the exposition
management does not get cent as far
as payment for admission tickets is
concerned, because all tickets were
sold in the form Of bonds several years
ago to provide money for the building
of the exposition. The price of tick
cts has gone down since the opening

they sing as a sort OF a taunt when
there are any English in sight. There

congresses. The subject was The Sci
ence of Writing.
The controversy over the American
bar has been settled and thirsty Amer
leans are now relieving their misery
in special prosque near the publish
ers' building where the New York
Times issues its daily Paris edition.
The bar was at first placed in the ma
tional pavilion. The protests of the
American temperance organizations
were too strong to be resisted and an
order was issued which compelled the
removal of the bar. 1t may be inter-
esting to intending visitors to the ex-
position to know that this bar is really
and truly American and that real
American drinks are mixed there
There are any number of so-called
American bars scattered through Paris
but the consensus of opinion is that
the American is all in the name and
not in the drinks. Judging from the
number of inquiries it would seem that
the American bar is one of the most
popular American enterprises in the
exposition.
A little incident occurred the other
day which is only another instance of
the bitter feeling existing between the
French and the English. When the
news of the relief of Mafeking was re-
ceived several Englishmen who were
in the exposition gathered together
and sang God Save the Queen. When
the Frenchmen in the vicinity heard
this demonstration they too gathered
together and cried vive les Beers. The
two hostile crowds passed remarks,
and blows were being exchanged when
a posse of police appeared on the scene
and dispersed the crowd, thus prevent
ing any serious trouble. Apropos of
this, it is very evident to any one WHO
has any conversation with a French
man of the middle or lower classes
that nothing would please them so
much as fight with the English.
They all regard England as their
past, present and future enemy, and
anything that England does in
south Africa is closely watched

Especial Correspondence

81 Paris, May 25.-The American col
ony in Paris, as well as the commits
sioner general and all those connected
with the United States commission,
was startled few days ago by state
sment which appeared in the Paris edi-
ton of the New York Herald to the
effect that the United States national
pavilion was unsound and that this
was the cause of the crowds not being
admitted to the galleries during the
ceremony of the Inauguration of the
pavilion. The commissioner general
at once took steps to have this mis-
statement corrected and the next day
an article appeared contradicting the
enc of the day before and assuring
everybody in general and the Ameri-
cans in particular that the building
was perfectly safe and that no danger
would be incurred by anyone who en-
tered it. The reason that the general
crowd was not allowed to enter the
galleries was that these galleries had
been reserved for invited guests. The
pavilion since it's Inauguration has
been daily thronged with Americans
who come to prifit by the different de-
vices for their comfort and conven-
fence.
