the honk Of the motor car. The sta
tisticians Of the census bureau tell
melancholy tale Of the decline and fall
Of the bicycle as pleasure vehicle.
In 1900 the bicycle industry paid
s1O,0O0,oOO In wages and salaries,
bought S17,000,0O0 worth of materials
and employed 10000 Americans. Since
then the business has slumped until
about 100000 machines a year are
manufactured now, as against 100000
In 1900. The 100000 persons who

Ing upon street cars. From the stand
point Of the consumer nothing has fill
ed the gap caused by the death Of the
bicycle craze. And yet bicyclists were
never offered such opportunities for
good sport as they are to-day.
Where there was one mile Of good
roadway in and about the parks and
approaching the country roads ten
years ago there are ten to-day. Ten
years ago a good bicycle cost 500. A
better one may be bought to-day for
$35. Both bicycling and the ownership
Of a bicycle present simpler problems
than were presented to the cyclist in
the days when Everybody rode.
That the bicycle craze was craze
is indisputable. Many persons rode to
excess. Many of the physically UNIT,
SO physicians assert, rode despite their
unfitness. More time and money and
nerve force were wasted upon the
sport than, In strict economy, should
have been devoted to it. But in the
main bicycling was wholesome

was expensive and arduous. 1t Is Just

The Story Ofa Medicine.

Its name-"GOlden Medical Discovery"

ant and valuable ingredients - Golden

Nearly forty years ago, DIR. Pierce dis
covered that he could, by the use of pure,
trlple-reiined glycerine, aided by GER
tain degree OF constantly maintained
heat and with the aid of apparatus and
appliances designed for that purpose, ex-
tract from our most valuable native me-
dicinal roots their curative properties
much better than by the use of alcohol,
so generally employed. So the now world

the cure of weak stomach, indigestion. or

that the ingredients composing the "GOld-

only for the cure Of the above mentioned
diseases, but also for the cure of all ca
tarrhal, bronchial and throat affections,
accompanied with catarrhal discharges,

Many Artificial Eyes Sold.

A large assortment of artificial
human eyes of all sizes and colors at
tracts considerable attention in the
display window of S. L. Mckee,
816 Market street, Wilmington, and
naturally enough the question, "are
many artificial eyes sold?"
Mr.. Mckee replies to this with
the statement that great many
more eyes are sold than the average
person appears to think. "Artifcial
eyes are made nowadays with such
perfectness as regards lustre, color,
fit and comfort said Mr.. Mckee,
"that they almost deceive nature
itself. The large dealers carry thou
sands and thousands of eyes in stock,
so that the matter of securing the pro-
per eye is largely a question of time,
for one is sure to find the eye to
match in the end. "
Mr.. Mckee has studied the subject
of eye fitting for some years in addi-
tion to his optical business, and has
successfully fitted many people in
Wilmington and surrounding towns
and country.

The Secretary of the Farmers
National Committee is of the opinion
that the time has arrived when alco-
hol will be a successful competitor of
coal oil. The general uses of the de-
natured article are as fuel, in heat
ing, cooking and lighting. 1t is said
to be cheaper than coal oil at present
prices. Then it is smokeless, SCOT
less and odorless. The industry is of
course in its infancy and it is ex-
pected that in time alcohol will be
much cheaper than it is now, at fifty
cents a gallon. At present corn is
the main material from which the
alcohol that is used for commercial
purposes in this country is made,
but in time it will be made from
many other and cheaper materials.

is, too little money and too much

The trouble with the farmers uplift
intention of the President is that the
farmers are already "way up in
fact "out of sight,. They do not
want to be uplifted. The Presidents s
Commission cannot reach them. The
first necessity is to get them down
off their perch. The crops have ex-
ceeded expectations, The trolley
lines are feeling their way out to the
farms; telephones and rural mail
routes have put them in touch with
the world. The farmer is not
oppressed; he is the oppressor and he
has pie for breakfast. How can he
be isolated with trolley lines and
automobiles and with comfortable
surplus in the bank? But the Presi
dent has written another letter with
the intention of convincing the
farmers that this uplift business is
just what they need.

emotions, but due to an innate i'm
pulse, either primary or secondary,
through instinct, association, or
accommodation, of expression by the
act of injecting ones ideal sell or
go for its fuifilment and satisfaction
in a sentiment or imaginary being
having elements that are capable of
arousing that impulse through

such feeling is generated and in
whom the power of imagination is
capable of approaching to emotional
hyperbole. i" If some school man
