The Emil and the Cyclist.

From Texas comes a report of bi.
cyclist who got mixed up with an
active ball to the riders physical in
jury and everlasting chagrin. He car
ried one of those old-fashioned bicycle
horns on his handle bar instead of a
bell. He overlook a large herd oi
cattle on back road, and, after seY-
eral vain attempts to work his way
through them, he gave loud blast on
the horn. There was an instant com.
motion in the herd, and the immense
bull at the head OF the column paused
and turned to listen. There was
fight in his eye as he sought the cause
of what he probably fancied to be a
challenge from some rival of the
plains. Unfortunately the cyclist
footed his tooter again, and the bull
made a mad charge at him, goriug
him horribly and wrecking his ma
chine. It was with difficulty that the
man was rescued and carried into
Dallas, where he was placed il the
hospital. New York Press.

Pacific Tidal Waves.

a tidal wave was seen lately at VIC
toria and along the North Pacific
coast, doubtless caused by one of the
many earthquakes that atflict Japan.
Fishermen on the river in boats
noticed soon after noon series of
waves coming into the river, increas-
ing the volume of water considerably.
The waves continued to grow until
they became dangerous. Between 2
and 3 o'clock they were from three to
six feet high. The disturbance lasted
all the afternoon, but gradually
diminished by 6 o'clock. A number
of the largest waves were timed: and
it was found that they came about
mile apart and travelled mile in
three minutes. News is received from
Honolulu that the western coast Of
Hawaii was visited by tidal waves of
great force about the same time. At
Keanhou the water reached points
thirty-fve feet above the sea. The
shocks of the earthquake were, it ap-
pears, registered by instruments in

nu6n rosa Small Girl.


I@yonr little daughter is about to
move from the nursery into room OF
her own here are few suggestions as
to it's furniture:
Have dotted Swiss curtain at the
window, tied back with forget-me-nos
blue ribbons. Let the little bedstead
be painted with white enamel and
draped with canopy of white Swiss,
through which o blue silk lining
should show. The bureau, which
must correspond in size 20 the bed,
should also be white, and, If ones
bank account will allow it, decorated
in silver.
The latest washstand for child's
room is of willow, painted in white,
with deep hollow in the center tc
hold the dainty bowl and pitcher. In
this room all the appointments OF the
washstand should be of white china,
strewn with forget-me-nots. In the
corner OF the room have baby divan
covered with light blue chintz and
banked with white linen-covered pill
lows, ornamented with blue silk
frill. A little willow rocking chair is
another requirement. 1t should be
painted in white and have the seat
cushioned in light blue plush. Cover
the walls with a paper which looks
like q pompadour silk. 1t may be
cream white in color striped with lines
OF forget-me-nots. Have plenty oil
pictures on the walls, and carpet OF
blue felt on the floor, half covered by
rugs, and the small girl who owns this
apartment cannot fail to be happy

APPLE SAYINGS"
Ehe King OF Fruits Was Not Always In
the High Favor IT Now Is.

Apples were at one time underesti-
mated, says a writer in Youths Com
panion, they were scarcely considered
q fruit rare enough for the considers
ton of the epicure, unless, indeed,
they formed part of some elaborate
dessert, compounded and cooked by
skilled housekeeper. Apple jellies,
puddings, pies and cakes might do,
but plain raw apples were fit only for
school children, vegetarians or the
poor. All this is now changed, and
the apple has come to its own again.
But if its flavor has been at various
times slightly esteemed or discredit-
ed, at least its wholesomeness has
been steadily recognized. "Apple
sayings" are frequent. both IN our
country and in England, all of which
testify in favor of the fruit. In the
"west coountree" there are four such;
An apple day
Sends the doctor away,
is the first and briefest. Then follow,
in the order of their vigor, three mores
Apple in the morning,
Doctors warning.
Roast apple at night,
Starved the doctor outright.
Eat an apple going to bed,
Knock the doctor on the head.
A little less aggressive is one OF the
Midlands:
Three each day, seven days week
Ruddy apple, ruddy cheek.
But more interesting than these is
an old orchard verse which used to be
recited on certain ancient farms on
the plucking of the first ripe apples OF
the crop. Misfortune was supposed
to follow its omission, and its utter.
ance was quite little ceremony, the
first apple over which it was spoken
being presented to young girl, who
halved and bit it before any further
fruit was gathered, OF at least tested.
Thus it ran
The fruit OF Eve receive and cleave.
And taste the flesh therein;
A wholesome food, for man it's good
That once for man was sin.
And since it's sweet, why, pluck and eat,
The Lord will have it so;
For that which Eve did grieve, believe
Hath wrought its all OF woe
Eat the apple!

If tablecloths are handled carefully
when laying and removing them, con-
siderable item will be cut from the
laundry bill, besides giving the table
a much better appearance. After q
meal the tablecloth always should be
laid away in its own folds. 1t keeps
it smoother and enables one to handle
it better in laying it the next time.
When ready to do SO unfold the table
cloth down the entire length on the
table, taking care to put the fold that
marks the centre of the width down
the centre of the table. When that Is
ready unfold the tablecloth in the
width, and it will be sure to hang
evenly without auy pulling about to
make it straight.
