Folly of Century Huns.

It is hard to see how even the great
est advocate of the bicycle can find
anything to commend in the practice
of holding century runs on every con-
venient holiday. The ability to ride a
bicycle rapidly for short distance
may often be extremely valuable, and
nothing can be more delightful than
an easy spin along the pleasant coun-
try roads. But when lot of men
start out at O'Clock in the morning
and race like mad fifty miles in the
morning and back again the sport of
bicycle riding degenerates to the same
plane with the snake and torture
dances of the MoQui Indians and other
similar tests of endurance.
Bicycle riding, anh even bicycle rae
ing, under proper conditions. is to be
approved, but these free-for-all CEN
tury runs should be stopped. They
furnish amusement to an extremely
small number of people, and they
serve no good purpose of any kind

FOREST FIRES.
The Indians Managed the Matter Better
Than We Do To-Day.

a correspondent of the Bedford In
quirer, ian old mountaineer," makes
the following novel propositions for
the prevention of destructive forest
fires: First compel all owners of wood
land under heavy penalty to clear
their woods of all leaves and small
underbrush by burning the same or
otherwise removing at such times as
the owners may select during the
months of November, December and
January. holding them responsible for
any damage done to the property Of
others, so that proper care and judg-
ment may be used. or course the first
clearing of mountain and other tim
ber land on which there may be an
accumulation OF leaves and brush (the
product of many years. will be at
tended with some expense and great
care, but when once cleaned nearly all
care, expense and trouble will end in
case all owners of woodland each and
every year be compelled under heavy
penalty during the aforesaid months
to burn all the leaves which may have
fallen from the seasons growth. If
this be done there can be no forest
fires during the nine succeeding
months; there will be nothing to burn.
After the forests and groves arS
once cleared of all leaves and small
underbrush, the cost of each year of
burning the leaves of one season S
growth will hardly exceed the cost Of
af hnrI11nrp
done properly, there can be no harm
to any young growth, as farmers know
from experience that burning stubble
off a field will not kill the roots OF
grass. The ashes of the leaves, being
left on the ground, will prove a good
fertilizer. and more than enough unin-
iured acorns and nuts will be left to
take root, where it is impossible II
there be a heavy carpet of leaves.
Fall fires. simply from the fash of a
coating of one seasons leaves, will be
so light that birds and game of all
kinds will scarcely be frightened, and
in the months named there arc no
Young birds and nests and no helpless
animals. Nuts. too, Of all kinds could
easily be seen and gathered when
wanted.
Let us learn wisdom from the IN
dians and the hunters of 100 years
ago. When the leaves were burned
each fall in West Virginia and Mary
land the ridges were covered with q
dense growth of bluegrass, affording
pasture for deer and cattle. This an
nual fall burning had much to do II

Lake Baikal is a remarkable body Of
water lying in a longitudinal trough
on the edge of the central Asiatic pla-
teau, whose surface is 1,600 feet above
the sea with which it is connected by
the Yenisei river after flowing across
the northern plains of Siberia for a
distance of 1000 miles. A most curl
Gus fact, long known to scientific mer,
is that this lake Is occupied by spe-
cies of seal almost identical with those
found in the Arctic ocean. The same
species, with slight variations are also
found in the Caspian sea, but not any
where else along the 5000 or 1000
miles which separate these bodies of
water. The most probable explanation
of this fact, and the one usually ac-
cepted by scientific men is that these
species of seal were thus widely dis
tributed during a continental subsi-
dence in which the waters of the Arc
tic ocean covered all of northwestern
Siberia and extended up to the base
of the great Asiatic plateau which we
followed for such long distance on
elevated shore lines of Turkestan, says
McClure's Magazine. When this de-
pressed area emerged from the sea, 1t
left the seal isolated in the two great
bodies of water which still remain on
Its former margin. So lately has this
taken place that there has not been
time for any great change to be effect
ed in the specific characteristics of
these animals.

The Coming Engineer.

The engineer of the twentieth CEN
tury will have need of all the knowl-
edge education can bring. The nine
teenth century skinned the cream Of
invention; what was on the surface
has been appropriated. James Watt
made it impossible any one else should
have quite so brilliant record as
himself, and yet his master-stroke of
invention, the separate condenser, did
not need abstruse scientific attain
ments, although Watt was essentially
scientific in his methods. So each sue
cessful worker in the field of inven-
tion does something to exhaust the
soil, and render needful higher fertili-
cation for further productiveness. New
vistas, however, are constantly being
opened out, and, to continue onr anal
ogy, we have something like the rota-
tion Of crops in the changing instru-
ments by which the engineer attains
his ends. 1t is becoming more and
more evident that the day Of the un-
educated engineer, the man who by
mere force of genius accomplished re-
suits which have changed the face of
nature, is being replaced by the epoch
of the skilled master of methods in ap-
piled science.-The Engineer.

In an entertaining article on Korea
the country which Russia covets and
which Japan must have-the Rev. Rob-
krt e. Speer has this to say upon the
prisons Of that half-barbarous land:
"The gate was wide open and the
courtyard was full of prisoners, and
the surrounding buildings were old
and tottering. 1 asked the chief,
whom one of the two or three listless
attendants called for us, why the pris-
oners did not run away. Oh he re.
piled. they would be caught and beat
en- again and kept longer. Now they
will get out soon.' But as l looked at
them saw that they did not run away
because they could not. The life was
beaten out of them. The keepers
brought the heavy red cord with a
brass hook at the end and trussed up al
man with it to show how the beating
was done, and then brought us the
stiff rods with which victims We're
pounded over the shins and thighs un-
til the beaten spots were simply masses
of fostering rottenness. There was
room, black, foul leprous, in which the
men were fastened in the stocks. The
Black Hole of Calcutta was scarcely
less merciful than this" ."-Leslie's
Monthly.

The Manufacture of Writing Pens.

"The manufacture of pens in the
United States is confined to only four
companies, although one might sup
pose there were many more" said a
Connecticut man who is engaged in
that line of work, the other day THAT
does not include the making of gold
pens, which is a separate industry,
but pens Of steel, brass and German
silver. The steel for these pens is
brought chiefly from Sheffield, Eng,
as is the best blade steel. Many ex-
periments have been made with steel
manufactured over here, but it never
has sufficiently stood the test The i'm
ported product comes in sheets about
three or four inches wide and from
sixteen to twenty feet long The i'm
preston would be that such little ar
ticles so universally used as pens
would be entirely machine made. Not
so. From the moment the sheet steei
is started on its way into pens till
the flushed goods are boxed and label
ed it is handled by employees seventeen
different times. The points, even,
have to be ground twice-ground and
cross-ground, as we style it in the
factories"

spring Of the lioness, his thought was
scarcely less swift and sure. 1t was
as If the cause for the creatures rage
was flashed through his brain by light
ming. He understood instinctively, as
well as he could have understood by
reasoning for hours about it, that I'm
peratrice was rebelling for Coco's
sole way to save himself, if way in
deed there were, was to display in
stanuy and Enthusiastically his affec-
ton for Coco. And so he forced him
self by an incredible. almost superhu.
man, effort to ignore the raging lion
ess and to flatter the dog.
Although the lioness's jaws were
fairly crunching his shoulder bones
and her paws lacerating and oppress.
ing his chest, the resolute fellow
called out, in perfectly natural voice,
quite as if nothing at all unusual were
occurring: Coco! Coco! Viens, mon
Coco! Viens done mon cheri! La
bonne bette! La bonne bette! LIE beau
garcon! Quill est beau, quill est gentil
ce Coco-la! Oh lie bon chien quill
est" And then, as the dog, his mood
transformed from shame to joy by the
caressing tones of his masters voice,
approached, Michel stretched forth the
hand which the lioness's fierce EN-.
brace left free and patted him kindly
ON the head.
The effect on Imperatrice was in
stantaneous. Her eyes grew gentle,
her teeth and her claws relaxed, re-
luctantly, it is true-for the SAVIOR of
the warm human blood was probably
swecter than anything she had hith-
erto known outside her dreams-but
surely, and sliding to the floor, she
licked affectionately the face Of the
dog and the hand of the master by
turns.
Because it was plain as daylight
that the lioness had offended not from
savagery, but from excess of love, she
was not punished for her outbreak.
Nor did Michel, after his return from
the hospital, where his ugly wounds
sent him, attempt to read her any les
son. Rather he read himself one, and
it will be many q long day, YOU may
be sure, before he disciplines Coco
again in the presence Of Imperatrice.
Coco, the rascal, thoroughly appre-
ciates the situation, and conducts, or
misconducts himself accordingly.
There are two very different Cocos
since Imperatrice's memorable de-
fence of him; Coco in the cage and q
Coco out of it.-Youth's Companion.

Primitive Trephiuinp.

The natives of New Britain, accord
ing to Professor Victor Horsley, are
well acquainted with the surgical
operation of opening the skull, known
as trephining. The surgeon is the med
icine man of the tribe. His only in
strument is a flake of obsidian or a
piece of shell. With this the bone is
exposed and a hole the size of a fifty
cent piece made. AS rule the opera
ton is resorted to in cases of fracture
and about eighty per cent Of the pa
tients die. In New Zealand some
form of insanity and even headache
are treated in the same way, and there
are cases in which the same individ-
ual has undergone the operation five
times.

RURAL HYGIENE.
6he Possible Influence of the Country
Doctor on Public Health.

Doctor on Public Health.
Prevention rather than cure is the
great object of medical science to-day,
and while the city has its peculiar
perils, so has the country. In recent
essay in the New York Medical Rec
ord, DR.. George NJ. Kober, of Washing
ton, D. c., said:
When we consider the fact that over
seventy per cent. of our population re-
side in rural districts, that the "bone
and sinew" of these are engaged in
agricultural pursuits, and that they do
not enjoy the benefits of enforced sani-
tation by local health boards, we see
at once the desirabllity of the family
physician extending useful suggestions
on healthful building sites and homes,
disposal of house wastes, the import
ance of a pure water supply and
wholesome and properly cooked food.
AS it is now, the diet is faulty, especi-
ally the hot biscuit and greasy fried
dishes, while wells and privies are
often dangerous neighbors. The undue
prevalence of typhoid fever In rural
districts could be materially checked
by disinfecting eXcretes with three
times the volume of boiling water and
the adoption of the earth closet sys-s
tenn. This is all the more important
since infection is often spread through
the milk supply, and many of our ur-
ban population contract disease in the
country during the summer months.
While prompt disinfection Of the ex-
creta is the only rational method, we
should also make an effort to get rid
of the flies by prompt disposal of the
horse manure in which they breed.
the abandonment of open privies and
surface pollution, removal of garbage
and other fly breeding matter.

Our Love For Sweets.

Americans are sugar loving people,
and our taste for sweets is increasing
We not only increase our consumption
with the increase of population, but
individually we consume more each
year.
Last year We consumed 2,219.S47
tons of sugar, which was 141,7 tons
more than we ate the year before. This
does not mean that our sugar devour-
ing population had increased, but it
means that while each man. woman

tion-consumed sixty-one pounds of
sugar in 1899, he or she consumed q
little more than sixty-six and half

BREACH OF THE CONTRACT.
How q Man Got the Best of n subscrip-
tion Book Scheme.


A citizen Of Buffalo has Just won
his case from subscription book con-
Germ. He subscribed for set of Bal
zac's works with the understanding
that the edition was to be limited to
1000 sets. He thought he was to be
lust one of thousand out of seventy
odd millions in the United States to
be envied the possession of the Balzac
sets. He learned afterward that there
were two other limited editions" of
the same work, that all three editions
were printed from the same plates
on the same quality of pa
per and differed only in the
Illustrations and the color OF
the binding. The Buffalo purchaser
contended that the publishers had vio-
lated their contract with him and re-
fused to complete his payments for the
set. Whereupon the publishers brought
suit to recover. The case has just
been tried in the municipal court in
Buffalo and has been won by the de-
fendant the court holding that mere
color Of the binding did not constitute
a new edition, and that the defendant
was the victim of breach of contract.
This was good law and correct re-
suit. The tricks of the subscription
book publishers and their agents are
many. When a man finds he has been
cheated he should resist. The courts
will protect him.-Utica Observer.
