Carries Two Persons Through the Phys

All the bicycles hitherto in use are
adapted to carry only one person or are
so arranged that when two or more
are carried each rider must aid in the
propulsion of the machine. James c.
Anderson. of Highland Park has turn
ed his attention to the designing Of a
vehicle which is adapted to carry two
persons through the physical exertions
Of only one. The inventor states that
the machine will be found useful in
cities and towns for the purpose Of
conveying passenger comfortably and
economically to any locality expedi-
tiously. The person who propels the
machine also has full control Of the

on, and she was compelled to forget the
wounded sailor in her own suffering.

Not SOured.

At what age bachelors and maids
should be called old is topic now be-
ing generally discussed. 1t is safe to
adhere to the old truth that woman
is no older than she looks, and man
no older than he feels. The fact is,
people bring upon themselves the ap-
pellation of ''old bachelor and "old
maid" AS a rule it is not given to any
one who retains well-regulated mind,
disposition to enjoy simple pleasures,
sympathy with the suffering of others,
and fortitude to support his or her own
pains. A bachelor who becomes small
in his aims and pursuits, who is self
absorbed, if not selfish, who behaves in
an unseemly way, who is easily pro-
voked, who rejoiceth in iniquity-such
as he is considered a miserable "old"
bachelor. So, too, the term "old" maid
is given soon and frequently to the
harsh-voiced, abrupt mannered, I'M
married woman, who initiates man in
dress, and tone, and bearing, who in
terferes with relatives and sets them
quarreling, whose rudeness and selfish
ness make every one uncomfortable at
the hotel or boarding house where she,
her cat, dog and canary bird live. Very
different is the, old maid who may be
described as a success and there are
such. She may not have an absorbing
mission, but she puts every one into
good humor, and is always desired. She
is not soured by celfbacy, but can think
of and plan for the happiness Of others.
She is gentle, ready, helpful and firm
withal in sickness or any other emer-
gency.

Pays Employees Every Day.

One New York millionaire who earn
ed his fortune by his own efforts under
rather Instantaneous circumstances
conducts his business in a way that is
highly original in many particulars.
One of the most striking Of these is his
method Of dealing with his employees.
They are paid every night, and at the
close Of every business day all the ex-
penses Of running the business have
been met and the manager knows Just
how his affairs stand, as far as that
feature Of the business is concerned.
But that is not his object in paying sal
aries every day instead of following
the usual custom and waiting until the
end of the week or month He EMPLOYS
many men who have lost former situa.
tons through intemperance, although
they were all men of ability in their
field. If they severed their connection
practically with the establishment at
the close Of every business day 1T made
no difference to the employer what hap
pened to the man after he left his es-
Enlistment. BY this means the mill
ionaire is able to get the service of good
men at small salary and have no re-
sponsibility as to their conduct after
they have received their pay for one
days work.-New York Sun.

plane alone. Both In Europe and
America 1t was once thought to be in
evitable that force Of arms should be
called In to further the growth Of new
ideas or defend old ones. Hence came
persecution and religious wars. In
China the reform element and religious
proselyters are not content with the
slow process Of mental change. They
want to hasten matters by an appeal
to the sword. We read Of millions that
have been turned into forts, and one Of
the viceroys, Chang Chi-t'ung, an ad-
vocate of Western learning, urged that,
in order to provide buildings for new
schools and colleges, the reform 'ele-
ment should ''seize the Buddhist and
Taoist monasteries." In the work of
bringing others to believe in the new
ideas, neither the white PROSECUTING i'm
migrants nor their Monaghan converts
have exercised that patience and gen.
tleness which alone are compatible with
true change of mental attitude. They
have allowed themselves to be deluded
ed by the belief in fists as we'll as
righteousness, and the result is that
the fstic side of the argument tenn
porarily got the upper hand in China.

suggestion that superstition might
sometimes be responsible for the ac-
tons of miners.
Goal miners" he went on to cay,
''are not superstitious. Hear noises!
OF course they do, but do people sup
pose those noises are imaginary! IL
beats all how little is known generally
about coal mining.
Folks get it into their heads" the
inspector continued. that man VINO
will quit work in certain part or
mine because he sees the rats desert
ing that section is superstitious, when,
as matter of fact, he simply displays
sound judgment. Very soon after the
rats quit sounds will be heard, and
later on slide follows. What would
have happened to the man had he cred
tied his fear to superstition by d1sre-
garding the exodus Of the rats and the
subsequent noises?
"Rats are the first of a mines inhab-
itants to realize danger, and then comes
the mule. Man is the last. So 1T is
only natural that he should take as
positive indications of trouble the &C
tons of the others, and he should not
be regarded as a superstitious creature
on that account.
"After rats desert an entry 1t Is next
to impossible to get a mule into 1t, not
because the rats left, but because the
mule realizes the danger. Left to them
selves rats or mules would never be
caught in slides in mines, but it is diff
ferent with men, who will not follow
the lead of the other two" denver
