New York World. Hcrolnra of Avtaora. In a receut lecture Mr. William Dean Ilowells made the following references to the heroines immortalized by va rious popular authors: There are heroines of many kinds. Greek ladies In ancient times wire car ried off by pirates. English ladies were carried on and forced to marry their captors. Heroines in the early days tilways moralized and were Intended to t:oralize the reader. But. aside from l'ie tendency toward being abducted, the beroiues of the early days were more like those of today than are those of the later romantic era. The heroes and beroiues of Bronte, with the cus tomary bullyiug of the latter by the former. Lave enjoyed a large vogue, and there have been many writers to copy this kind, but it is no longer cus tomary for the hero to win the hero ine's heart by breaking her back. One of the most iopular heroines was the self sacrificing heroine. If the young man whom she loved was be loved by another, she would move heaven and earth to bring atiout bla marriage t with the other, though be might 1 In love with her herself. Sometimes she married to please her porent. and sometimes, after being married. s3e would obligingly die so that ber husband could marry a gala Heroines are not won by special acta I had my first heroine rescued by th hero from a ferocious bulldog, the mar riage of the two following.

One of the most significant pioofa of the increase of dignity a ad oromon sense among women ta the fact that they are rapidly abolishing the kissing habit, aays the New Orleans Ticayune. Time was, and not so long ago, either, when two women on meeting were ex pected to fall on each other's neck aa a matter of course and exchange a kiss without regard to time or place or any condition of sentiment, and when a baby was banded around for visitors, male and female alike, to kisa ar If It "were a bundle of sweetmeata of which everybody was expected to partake.

Ac far as women themselves are concerned, there probably Isn't one in a million who hasn't always ahrunk in disgust from the familiarity of a kiss from any one but her very nearest and dearest. The trouble has been that she didn't w?tt to give offense or wound any one's feelings, and w there has seemed nothlnz for it but to follow the Bible doctrine of submission and when smit ten on one cheek by the kls of custom to turn the other, however disagreeable It might be.

Waaaaa'a Debt to the Bicycle. Probably proiwrtlonately women have benefited more by the bicycle than men. The physical development of the girl of today Is one of the common places of conversation. The maiden "divinely trll" Is much oftener met with than ever before. Something lyis lonie over the native Impulses to frowrb of American women which has given them a greater stature and finer figui-e In the last 20 year. Tbla la not confiued to any particular class of so ciety or any particular locality. There is undoubtedly a wide extended cause for this larger growth, greater height and armer tread of the American girl today. It is uot all due to the expan sion of wealth and education. Mort due to the cultivation of out of door sports. It is generally conceded that for the even and moderate exercise cf all the muscles nothing superior to the bicycle has yet been devised. There is no great demand upon any one's strength In the ordinary use of the bicycle. It is easier than walkiu; where at every step the weight of the body must lie lifted. It Is :iy to avoid rllmblng hills, a ad It Is not necessary to ride greater distances than are easl ly within one's capacity. Even those whose employments are exacting can generally find time after the day' work to take this exercise In the open air with advantage. It is especially valuable where such daily employment is confining and where the work I w'th the bead rather than the bands. - Ledger Monthly. A Feminize Faillaar. "I saw by a paper last week that a colored woman was excluded from tes tifying in court because she didn't know her right hand from ber left and was therefore esteemed too ignorant for ber evidence to be of any value," said an observant man yesterday.

There is a delightfully human story which Archibald Forties, the fatuous war correspondent, told, rather ct his own exiieuse, of tils pratiuVat' r nt the apparent desire of the "man and brother" for higher Intellectual cul ture. On arriving at the station nt West Chester, Fa., where he was to lecture, a colored cabman. It is said, offered his services to convey him to bis hotel. When be got there, Mr. Forties asked the extent of remunera tion expected for the Journey. The darky replied: "Well, sab, if you'd jes' Rive me a ticket to de lectur. sab, I should be right gLid." This unusual request from a cabman struck blm not only as singular and laudable, but as quite complimentary to him, so be said: "Certainly. And haven't you got n missis V ''Oh, yes, sab; Fse got a missis' "Well, yon shall have one for ber. And be requested bis agent to band to the knowledge seker t'ae requisite passes for the entertainment. On reaching tbe lecture room be cast a glance over tbe audience to see bis col ored friend, but be had not arrived, nor did be put in an appearance. Next morning, on getting Into the same man's vehicle to go to tbe station. Sir. Forbes said: "I didn't see yon at the lecture last night." "So, sah; I we not dar." "But you know, I gave yon tickets for yourself and wife." "Tea, sah: I know that sah, but -you see, sah, I jes' sold dem tickets for $1, sah, 'cause Fd rather bab de cash, sab," Philadelphia CalL SETTING TIRES. Tbe Old Way of hrlnklaa; Them oa aad the Mo-era W ay. Tbe old way of putting a tire on a wheel was to shrink it on. The tire was made just a trille smaller than the wheel and tbeu heated, with the result of expanding it slightly. When thus heated It was crowded down over the rid of tbe wheel and then cooled with wtlter to keep It from burning the whetl and also to coutract it. Cool ing. It was shrunk on to bind the wheel tightly. The 'modern way of patting a tire on -a wheel is with a hydraulic tire setting press. By this method the tire is made just a trifle larger than the wheel, so that it will go over the rim freely. The bed of this press, upon which the wheel lk-s horizontally, with an open ing at tbe center for the bub, is com posed of 18 sections, radiating from the center and In shape like the spaces between tbe spokes of a wheel. The outer end of each section is turued up ward, the turned np ends making a continuous flange, or collar, all around tbe bed of the press. Each one of the sections has under It a hydraulic cylin der, and tbe sections are all arranged to work to a common center.- In use the wheel Is laid on the press with the cold tlr around It within that turned np collar, or flange, around the edge. When the press is set in operation, the collar, or flange. Is irresistibly contract ed. Whim It comes In contact with the tire around the wheel, it does not bring np against it. but keeps on contracting just the same, now contracting the tire as well and setting It tipou tbe wbeei the pressure being continued until liie wheel lisclf has been brought to the requisite degree of dishing. New York Sun. rboloejrapked fer Earth Llirht. ' Everybody who love to watch the heavenly lmdlcs has frequently no ticed, when the crescent of the new moor, appears In the west, the phe nomenon called "the old moon iu t ie young one's arms." Tartly embraced by the boras of the crescent Is seen the whole round orb of the moon, glimmering with a pale, ashy light. Tbe cause cf the ap'tcarance is that tbe earth light upon that part of the moon not reached by tbe sunshine is sufficiently brilliant to rend.T it faint ly r'slble to our eyes. Successful at tempts have been made, particularly In France, to photograph this phe nomenon, ncd tbe pictures thus pro duced ere very Interesting. Youth's Companion. -it n fen :,a fix r.
