Bicycle Now Used More for Bushes,
Ends and Less for Pleasure.
1T Is wrong to say that the popular
ity of the bicycle Is on the wane,'' rc-
marked the man who makes his liv-
ing repairing and dickering in the ma

While the Sunday crowds of riders are
thick enough on the boulevards and
in the parks, they are not so great as
they used to be a couple of years ago.
The fact is, the bicycle is getting to
be more and more a business PROPOSE
ton. Men and women who have wheels
ride them to and from work as a rule
and do not take as many rides of
evenings for diversion as they once
did. The wheel is an actual vehicle
of business as adopted for telegraph
messenger boys, sp3till de livery let er
carriers and the like. AS an outcome
of this the average speed Of Chicago
wheelmen and wheelwomen has in
creased. Nine out of ten persons you
see on a bicycle are riding in a hurry.
That is because they are going to set
destinations and nearly always have
limited their time for getting there.
The life of a wheel is longer, too, for
the same cause, but the very fact that
we get more work to do this year than
ever proves that persons owning BIZ
cycles are more numerous now than
ever BEFORE"

Boys and Girls in China,

Boys are always we come wnen they
appear in a Chinese home, girls never.
Boys often marry at 16; and it is said
to be a not i%nfrequent circumstance
for these juvenile husbands on occa-'
sion of some grievance to run crying
to their mothers for comfort, as tn Y
have been in the habit of doing, and
to be met with the chilling inquiry,
Why do you come to me? If you
want anything go to her!" The ratio
in which fortune-tellers allot hapri-
ness in the Chinese family is generally
about five sons to W daughters.
Whatsoever is more than these COM
eth Of evil" The murder of female
infants accordingly prevails to a very
large extent. Many Chinese girls are
sold by their parents, and in some
provinces the trade in girls is con-
Quoted as openly as any other traffic.
In cases of poverty husbands occa-
sionally dispose of their wives. DR..
Smith mentions a Chinaman who, be
ing deeply in debt, was thrown into
prison, from which he found deliver
ance hopeless. He accordingly sent
word to his relatives to have his wife
sold, which was done, and with the
proceeds the man was able to buy his
escape!-Westminster Review.

Upon the recent death of the Prince
de Joinville much was written con-
corning the Bourbon nose," a large
and prominent feature which the
French Claimants have retained
while they have lost empire and re-
spect. Now. the nose of the dead
prince was no larger or more ''Bour-
Don" than that of his sister, the Prin-
cess Clementine, the mother of Prince
Ferdinand of Bulgaria. Prince Ferdi-
nand has inherited this facial charac-
t~eristic, and is apparently rather SEN
sitive on the subject. A Bulgarian
journalist wrote for his paper, in the
course of last week, an article which
treated of noses in general and long
noses in particular. These last, he.
said. were infallibly indicative of all
that is mentally and morally base,
w~hereupon the possesor of the longest
most in Bulgaria-longest alike in lin
cage and anatomy-Prince Ferdinand
to wit, had him up for lese majestic,
with the result that he has been Jailed
the latter-day Bourbons have inherited
other unpleasant traits of their ances-
try besides long noses. A prosecution
for lese majesty isn't as prompt as a
lettre de cachet, but 1t gets there all
the same.

london letter.


II wars and rumors of wars and
as~sassinations and massacres had not
filled every spare column in the news
papers lately, general attention would
have been attracted by a remarkable
exodus of the Children of Israel from
a modern land of Egypt for pretty
much the same reasons as those
leading to the momentous exodus I'M
der Moses and in somewhat similar
out to travel on foot to the promised
land-America.
The scope and significance of the
exodus have been yelled by the fact
that the pilgrims have not marched in
a body, but have been coming along
in squads and companies. Some are
already in the United States and Can
ada, a few linger in London, some are
on the way across Europe and the
rest are trying to escape from the
twentieth century Pharaoh-the gov
eminent of Roumania.
Of course the persecution of the
Jews in several of the European states
for years has grown more and more
bitter. but in Roumania the limit of
their endurance has been reached.
For the last yea measures of cruelty
OF all kinds have been pushed by a
fierce Anti-Semitic League with a ger
feet organization throughout the
whole country, of which the chief min
lister OF the government and the ed
tors of the most powerful newspapers
were active members. What non
the Jews had was extorted from them
by grinding taxes, and the possibility
of their getting more was removed by
a general and complete boycott of the
representatives of this race, both as
shopkeepers and employees in factories
and business houses. Many profess
sions officially were closed to them.
their children were excluded from the
schools, they themselves were sub
jected to assaults and ~indignities at
the hands of the mobs, disenfranchis-
ed, forbidden to settle outside the
cities. forced to serve in the army
without the possibility of receiving
commissions, and made aliens in the
land of their birth-until at last such
of the victims as could manage it have
turned their backs on everything they
still owned and hurried out of the
country.

have left. men and women, but prin-
clpally young men. Most of them
were too nearly destitute to think OF
paying railroad or steamboat fares, SO
they resolved to go on foot across
Europe to more friendly count es,
begging by the way, if necessary. They
left in companies, many of them over
a hundred strong, each member of
them carrying a passport from the
Roumanian government. These pass
ports were not given by the govern
ment until the prospective emigrant
had paid up every farthing of the
racking taxes that had been Piled
upon him, and when gwen they we. e
marked officially, Good to Co." The
emigrant was told that If he came
back the penalty was Imprisonment
with hard labor for not less than SIX
months, or more than two years, with
the additional clause that after tn S
Imprisonment the returned fug tive
would again be placed outside the bor-
der and made an outcast anyway.
So from Bucharest, and Berlad and
Galatz, these little bands started out
of the house of darkness. in the hope
of some day reaching America. The
first few companies marched out in
triumph, but then the government he
gan to get scared. Little Roumania
couldn't spare so many artisans. The
police were ordered to make the prog
ress of the others as difficult as pos
sible, and they did. In some places
their interference took the form of as
saulting the refugees, in others they
refused to let the people leave in
patches, and so they crawled away by
twos and threes and met outside the
cities. Once there they made straight
for the border of Roumania and Hun
gary. Food and shelter were given to
them by the peasants along the coun-
try roads, and so they covered the 125
miles that lay between their Starting
place and Predeeal. on the boundary

Their the rabbis and their people
raised funds and sent the pilgrims on

Do Hogs Need a Wailow?

That the hog confined in the dusty
pen or the pen with a plank floor does
not increase in weight as rapidly as
the hog that is permitted to have its
wallow of mud and water is admitted,
but ON the other hand there is the I'M
deniable tendency on the part of swine
raisers who permit the wallow to let
the hogs drink the filthy water and
generally to neglect them. There is
no objection to the moist earth in the
corne of the orchard or on the range
where the hogs may wallow at will
during the summer, provided always
the animal is kept well supplied With
pure drinking water and the wallow
kept reasonably clean. 1t is the filth
which generally surrounds such places
that is Objectionable, particularly so
when the hog, from thirst, is forced
to drink this unclean water. Have the
wallow for the hogs, if you will, but
keep it as clean as possible and keep
the hogs well fed and watered, remem-
bering that it is mainly through the
stomach that diseases like cholera are
contracted.

In the Land of Rutiermakers.

1t is an odd and interesting fact
that Denmark, the ALTERNATING
country of the world, bought from the
United States last year 5 5000, 900
pounds Of oleo oil, with which to make
oleomargarine, and that the Danish
farmers and buttermakers use oleo-
margarine on their tables. C. NJ. Pay
of Copenhagen is in the business OF
importing oleo. He came to Kansas
City today TO see the packing houses
and to make business arrangements.
The butter of Denmark is known for
its excellence throughout Europe. The
Danish creameries have learned the
scientific way of making the best but
ter, and the Danish government has
passed laws to insure it's purity. Eng
land alone last year imported $44,-
000, 900 worth of butter from Denmark,
and yet the Danish farmers spread
ole~omargarine on their bread. The
reason is simply the frugality Of the
Danish buttermakers. Their best but
ter is worth 40 cents a pound. Oleo
can be bought for about 10 cents a
pound. Therefore whenever a Danish
family eats a pound of oleo it makes
rs cents.-Kansas City Star.

Jeffries only comment on the fight
was that the work of Jim was a great
revelation to him. In his estimation
Corbett has the best claim on him for
the first fight for the championship.

A writer on poultry topics com
plains that cold storage eggs are sold
for fresh laid eggs, and says laws
should be. passed to prevent it. Well,
the laws would be all right if they
could AFFECT the situation. but they
could not. They would be like the
laws against profanity that are on the
statute books in some Of our states.
A law to prevent cold storage eggs
being sold as fresh laid eggs would
be in fact a law against lying, and
that vice is so universal that every
legal weapon aimed against it will fall
short, The only method OF checking
this practice is to properly instruct
the buyer as to his own interests.
The Neihart herald. [volume] (Neihart, Mont.) 1890-1901, 1900-11-24

Some object to the principle of cold
storage establishments because they
say it reduces the price of eggs at the
time when they should be high, that
is, in the winter. The argument is
without force. If the cold storage OF
eggs causes a lower price for winter
produced eggs. 1t also causes a higher
price for eggs produced in the summer
time. However, as by cold storage
many eggs are saved for use that
would otherwise rot, there is little
doubt that the price is somewhat af-
fected. On the other hand, the increas-
ing certainty that when one buys eggs
he will get good ones, causes a larger
number to be consumed. When our
systems Of keeping and handling eggs
become so perfect that no eggs spoil
eggs will have become an even more
popular article of diet than at the pres.
ent time.

He had not calculated the distance, and could not get the force necessary to do the work properly. The noise attracted the attention of the other prisoners and two MeXicans pulled him down before he had received more than slight choking. A short time later Smith put his mouth over one of the light jets and turning on the gas endeavored to asphyXiate himself. The prisoners again interfered and called the prison-keeper.
