7 Mr. Youngwife's Trial.
About a year ago a little cherub
came to brighten the Youngwife
home, and, as it is just about now
"beginning to notice things," as
found mothers have it. Mr. and'
Mrs. Youngwife decided that they
would take little Roderick on a
trolley trip last Sunday. This im
portant information the diminutive
Roderick received -with that im
perturbability peculiar to one-year-olds,
but the thoughts of such a
voyage Jilled the hearts of his en
thusiastic parents with delight.
Accordingly, a capacious hand-bag
was filled with articles necessary to
the trip, such as bottles of milk,
packages of graham wafers, sooth
ing syrup, veils, wraps, handker
chiefs and sundry other things, and
the trio started eff bright and
early, Mrs. Youngwife maternally
proud, Mr. Youngwife paternally
protective and Younywife junior
ecstactically gooing.
Alighting on an open trolley the
trio were assailed by a sharD
breeze and with a gasp of recollec
tion Mrs. loungwife shouted:
"Mop the car! My ' dear;, we'll
have to go back aha get baby's coat
or he'll freeze to death."
Alas ! for the hopes of delight
ful day. This was but the first of
a series of setbacks that made the
Youngwife outing jnemorable, if
not pleasant. -Once armed with
the necessary garment, Mrs. Young
wife said: "There now, you carry
baby and the bag and I'll look after
the coat to make sure of it this
time," and they retraced their
route to the cars.
Inside of three minutes after
they had taken their seats Young
wife mere had made a score of
plunge at the baby, fixing its cap
or its coat or fussing up its gar
ments in some wajy or other;
Youngwife pere had grown red and
fidgety, and every passenger in the
car had come into the knowledge
that it was the first baby. But
that wasn't the worst of it. Just
as the car stopped to take on a
jolly party of picknickers, Mrs.
Younywife in a voice of maternal
anxiety called gut: Now, papa,
oo must diy 'ittle'bby his mi'ky
man,'' and, with jold perspiration
dropping from his brow, the un
happy Younywife, inwardly groan
ing, was forced to yank from the
hand-bag. a large, fat bottle of milk
and feed the baby, while an urohin
oh the sidewalk yelled : "Hey dere,
popMou8e is breakin' de. Sunday
. .. . .
law with that flask. Cheese it!"
Arriving at Pairmount Park it
was decided to take the youthful
Roderick to Horticulture Hall and
how him the flowers. Onceinside
the fernery, where the temperature
was considerably above the normal,
Mrs. loungwiiemade a grab for
the baby, quickly skinned oh? bis
coat and cap and sweater, and with
sundry "Goodnesame's !" started to
fan him with such gusto that Rode
rick pi-omptly set up a startled
howl, which he steadfastly refused
to cease until his overheated pa
had taken him and paraded him ud
and down a dozen times pick-a
back fashion, to the intense amuse
ment of a party of jocose young
men, who insisted on commenting
in race-track terms on the qualities
of Youngwife pere as a pacer. At
the conclusion)! this performance
the fertile maternal brain devised a
new amusement for thebaby, and
the floral conservatories, with their
wealth of azalea bushes and other
flowering plants, were inspected.
Here Roderick, when held to the
flowers by his mother to "smell
petti 'oses," insisted on .pulling
over the plants or eating the blos
soms, and to the apprehensive Mr.
Youngwife's fears that "baby would
hurt himself or the guards might
putthem out of the place," his
wife : replied scornfully : ; "Well, 1 1
declare; you are certainly the den
Best man. Can't vou see how dear:
ly the little darling likes these
flowers? I really believe he is go
ing to be a botanist. Now, just
see him he can actually tell one
DU8n irom another. Uaby, show
mamma the pretty pansies !" -
"Just then "baby" grabbed the
flowering stalk of a big azalea
plant, and with a yank pulled St
smash ! on the floor. While Mrs.
Youngwife moved coldly awavaaif
nothing had happened, her liee

approach of a stern-looking guard,

Pate of Old Bicycles.-
A writer on the subject of bicy
cies says that he had often wonder
ed where all the old machines went
to, and whether they could, possibly
oe turned to any other use than
that for which they were built.
une day, while traveling through
an out-oi-tne-way Western dis
trict, he came to a farm-house, in
the yard of which was a deep well.
Instead of drawing up the bucket
' B -
oy nana, the farm hands would
step into the saddle of a dilapidated
bicycle of ancient make and enor
mous weight and pedal away grave
ly. Geared to the wheel was the
shaft of a, drum which carried the
rope, and a few. revolutions of the
pedal brought the bucket up.
Ever since then the traveler has
been prepared for a movement to-
waru me uiiiizaiion oi the bicycle
for light power production pur
poses. Such a use has been made
of the wheel under somewhat ex
traordinary conditions in the Sou
dan campaign. After the battle
or Umdurman 121 British wounded
were conveyed to the military hos
pital at Abadleh. Of that number
A. L - - . M '
mere, were twenty-one cases in
which the bullet could not be found
or its absence proved by ordinary
methods. In twenty out of these
twenty-one cases an accurate diag
nosis was arrived at with the heln
of the Roentgen rays, the odd case
being toojll for examination. The
greatest difficulty the military sur
geon h ad was in obtaining current
to work his coil. There was ap
parently nothing in eight in the
' ' m . i;
way oi a power-proaucer. in one
of the rooms of the hospital, how
ever, was a bicycle, and the surgeon
naajt hrmly bedded down and then
coupled up with a dynamo. The
scheme worked splendidly, and the
current from the dynamo being
used either for charging accumu
lators or for supplying the coil
direct. Chicago Record.

A Faying Investment.
The New- Orleans Times-Demo
crat, in commenting on the remark
able development in progress in
Southwest Louisiana, cites the case
of a gentleman from Iowa, who
fifteen years ago entered the prai
rie section and disembarked from
the train at what is now the pros
perous and progressive village of
Jennings, in Calcasien parish, on
toe line of the Southern Pacific
Road. He found land so cheab
that one of the large land owners
was giving away hundreds of his
acres in order to save the expense
of a possible increased taxation.
For $30 he purchased 300 acres of
land. , Fifteen years of progress
and development throughout the
entire section in which these acres
had witnessed a gradual increase
in the price of the lands, until now
these 300 acres can only be bought
for $30,000, and this is one of the
results of an intelligent and com
prenensive cultivation of rice.
A Superfluity of Heroes.
London Sketch has felt called
upon to moralize as follows: In
these days, when Lord Kitchener,
daggers, Cecil Rhodes, Dr. Grace,
Dan Ltno, Tod Sloan, Hall Caine
and John Roberts are all heroes
and do heroic things, the-time is
come to protest. We owe a duty
to our generation, and a little judg
ment, coupled with a modicum of
restraint, may save us from some
merciless satirist yet in his teens
who will rise up and call us fool
ish. Cricket is a fine game, but it
does not make or mar heroes,- and
there is no innate heroism in the
act of scoring a century on a bil
Hard table wicket or getting six
wickets for six runs apiece on a
crumbling ground in a bad light,
or in playing a good game for a
losing side. These feats represent
a combination of skill and practice,
ana should not have a false label.
It is stated there are an average
