Denver. Col, enjoys the distinction
of having more bicycles in proportion
to population than any other city In
the United States. Though Denver
numbers only 160.O 900 souls within her
city limits, she boasts of not less than
10000 bicycles. Morning and evening
alike thousands of bicycles may be
seen on the streets of Denver mounted
by men, women and children in every
walk OF life Bicycles literally overrun
things and they are used in every line
of business, and street car companies
say they have lost $1,000. 900 annually
in traffic since bicycles have become
the rage. In fact. one company went
into the hands of a receiver two years
ago. alleging that the universal wheel
had impaired its earning to such an
extent that 1t could not meet Its inter-
est demands. The open weather and
fine natural roads are largely respon-
sible for the popularity OF the wheel,
as It is conceded that ordinary riders
can use their wheels daily for so weeks
out of So and not suffer any annoyance
from mud or snow. Add to this the
fact that neither lights, brakes nor bells
are required and the agility required
OF the non-rider In taking care OF him
self can be appreciated. Denver Is
said to be the only city in the country
where the bicycle vote controls cleo
tions on municipal Issues

The Tiger Got out.

No circus menagerie is ever with

old wagon driver as "reminiscences
were in order I'VE had ours when I
was with Dan Rice, and the papers
gave him such an awful reputation for
ferocity that people dared not to come
within ten feet OF his cage. or course
used to get of n lecture on him. Ac-
cordlng to my story he had killed and

horses, two camels and rhinoceros.
One day. after had delivered the old

around to see what he could tackle.
when a mongrel dog not more than a
third of his size came rushing up and
sailed into him. True as you live, that
dog bumped that tiger three times
around the tent. swapping at his heels
all the time, and the Bengal got away
from him only by leaping back into
his cage. The affair got Into tho pa
pers. and OF course we got the grand
guy all the rest OF the season. It paid

why She Loxsa Him 90.

The memoirs OF Jules Massenet bring
up an incident OF his courtship told by
Coquelin. 1t seems that when Liszt.
Sgambau and Massenet were studying
together in Rome they all became fas-
cinated with the daughter OF an aristo-
cratic Frenchman. The trio spent
their spare time composing and play
ing themes to the object of their affec-
tions. One evening the young woman
showed marked favor to Massenet, and
he proposed to her. after having asked
her fathers consent. He followed her
to Paris In few days, where he was
accepted by her and the marriage soon
took place. One day Massenet said to
his bride before a party OF friends:
my dear. do you remember the day
you first showed me that you preferred
me to Sgambati and Liszt?' yes"
well. do you know. besides proving to
me that you loved me. 1t also gave me
great Joy to know that you believed
played SO well. even excelllng the
others7" "Oh. but 1t wasn't that" an
swered his wife quickly. 1T was be-
cause you played so badly that my love
went out to you" 1t is said that the
great composer never referred to the
incident again.-PhiIadelphi Saturday

WHAT SOUTH AFRICANS EAT.

--Ants and Nice.

FscuiiAr Diss OF the Native sAvnKcs
Ante and Mice.
herman missionary who has Just re-
turned from South Africa recently de-
hvered a lecture before the Berlin Geo.
graphical society. in which he brought
forward the following particulars con-
eerning the peculiar diet OF the native
sasages OF the Transvaal. especially as
noticed among the Basutos. the tribe
which Is now threatening to take up
arms against the British. says the Phil
adelphia Record. One OF their most
Characteristic hunts is the mouse hunt.
twenty to thirty Basutos gather to-
sether; they march of carrying strips
OF nets made by them for this purpose
anu, accompanied by large number
OF uoss. about whose bodies different
sized bells are bound. The dogs make
Dig sweep round the countryside,
wniie the Basutos attach their various
s'.ips OF nets into one long semicir-
cuiar Carrier the lower part of which
is pinned to the ground. Then.
crouching upon the ground and holding
tneir sticks ready. they wait the COM
ing oil the mice. These. frightened by
tne peils dangling from tho dogs, grad
uaily draw nearer and nearer to the
net along which they are at last found
running In vain effort to discover
an opening through which they may
escape. When the number of these
victims Is sufficiently great shrill
cry is emitted by the chief, the net is
pushed forward all along the line. and
the struggling creatures caught in the
meshes of the net are numerically
whipped to death by the jubilant saw
ages. Monkeys, constitute one OF
their favorite tld-bits. which are all
tne more appreciated as they are not
so readily caught Snakes are sim
ply Killed with blows from a switch
and are generally in high favor. Ac-
cording to the missionary their pop
ularity Is well deserved. He himself
took part in meal In which snakes
FORMED the chief attraction and found
that this animal could be favorably
compared with prime eel. Most
popular OF all delicacies, however. are
the caterpillars. II is not unusual to
learn of quarrel which has broken
out among the natives for their pos
session. The most favorable time for
catching them is the early morning and
late evening hours. when their wings
are heavy with dew and they are un-
able to see clearly. The children OF
the mission, numbering about 400, hav-
Ing organized locust hunt, succeeded
one day in capturing no less than 160
pounds OF these insects. which were
consumed with the greatest avidity
before the day had passed. At certain
times of the year the great white
winged ants leave the earth, and 1t IL
then that most jealous competition
arises between the Kaffir children and
the chickens of the dorp for the pos
session of the priced morsels. 1t is al
such times that the Kaffir youngsters
may be seen running about with theii
mouths stuffed full OF ants. and. II tn,
chase has been especially successful
with both fists also full of these succu-
lent dainties.
