When the Siberian ltailway is com plete ono can go from London to Japan in sixteen days, and girdlo tho earth in about forty. Jn their jubilant delight in thoir fine crops WoHteru Kaunas und Nebraska aro already proffering to send "relief" to tho effete East. Tho mortality among cattle at bco, resulting from cruelty, want of water, etc., was formerly stated at sixteen per oent., whilo at the presont time it is one per cunt. "Health," said Miss Arnold in Bos ton, to tho Chauncoy Hall kindergar ten graduates, "is tho first requisito of success. Tho 'now' woman has none of tho old-fashiouod bolicf in nerves and notions." A colored man and a Chi nose woman were married in Lawrenoe County, South Dakota, a few days ago. The Clerk of the Court hod serious doubts as to whether thoy were a good legal match, and postponed granting the necessary liconso until he was fully satisfied that suoh a union was not forbiddon. The St. Louis Tost-Dispatch says this year will go into history asbiorclo year. Tho growth of tho wheel's popularity has boon so amazing that it seems as if all the world had suddenly discovered that tho whoel is a good thing and is trying to get on one as soon as possible. The roads ore alive with cyders. The fnetorios cannot meet the demand. The supply of tubing is exhausted. . Economy in email things is tho rule of life among the poor of Franco. In this country we wasto enough in a week in tho way of food to supply a French family for a month. Thoy uti lize crumbs and scraps and bits of food whioh wo seemingly regard with disdain, and all of whioh is perfectly healthful and suited for food. It is no wonder to the San Francisco Chron icle that under such conditions that tho pooplo of Franoo have more avail able property and wealth than any people in tho world. The common cotton tail rabbit op pears to be continually pushing its way northward and replacing the Northern hare. Mr. Bongs finds that the latter is rare in Massachusetts, Las almost wholly disappeared from maty parts of New Hampshire, though it still abounds in Maino, New Bruns wick and Nova Sootio. He oocounts for the spread of the cotton tail to the northward as the result of tho de struction of the pine and spruce for ests whioh are replaood by a scrubby sooond growth of shrubs. "The hare goes into the coniferous forests and the cotton tail oomos in with the seo ond growth." The new impulse lately given' to gold mining has brought new life iuto many deserted towns and abandoned camps in the West. One of the most notnblo of theso resurrections revival does not accurately describo the situa tionis in the cose of the oamp of Florence, IJuho. In 18C1 this oamp had a population of 30,000 people, with banks, saloons, hotels and every thing that goos to the inoking of a city. It was a plaoer camp, and gold was plentiful as grovol.whilo it lasted. But it didn't last long, aud iu those bonanza days miners would not stay to work quartz. So tho population deserted Florence as quickly as it came, and for many years the town was absolutely deserted, and as much a ruin as ancient Carthage. Rocentl y several good quartz lodges have been discovered ot the old camp, and Flor ence is building up again. Sheep furmers, the world ovor, have been very busy during the last thirty five years. In that period tho St. Louis Star-Sayings estimates that the increase has been teu-fold in the Argentine, nine fold in Australia uud five-fold in South Africa and the United States. At the commencement of the Civil War the clip was two pouuds per head of our population J now it is five. New suuroes are also being opened up to us daily by uo.v railroads, and clothing should go down in price at a very brisk rate, l'urts even of Asia uro now sending wool westward. Tho Afghan "doomchee" a sheep with a tail tho heigh th of the auiinal uud as broad as its hiud quarters, furnishes good wool, as ul.so do tome of the Persian itud Thibet sheep, but India, China uu.l Burmese sheep euuuot do so. The sheep there grow hair instead of wool, uud another peculiarity they puise-j is that no one ever saw a purely whitj uutive thcep ia Iudia or Burmah. OLADN ESS.

(vI II Not suoh as.swopt o "J " m" tide of power, the conqueror leads to crimson glory and undying fame, but a plain, ordinary no, not as "ordin ary," but a safety bioyole for hire. True, I am in a srood state of renair and am as comfortablo as my keepers can make me, but I am not decked in ribbons and nurtured in commodious quarters and ridden only by the aris tocracy over smooth pavements and for short distances. I never oven had suoh luck when I first camo from the factory. I thought I wos going to fall into that good for tune, but a man took me on trial that is to say, he took ma on the in stalment plun and tried to pay tor mo, but couldn't, and was forced to return me at the end of a mouth, and then I was only good enough to go among tho hirelings, and there I have stayed ever sinoo. Goodness mo, how long it seems since 1 got tho first wrench to my steel ribs and had my frame skinned against a treo box t I was born a combination wheel that is, you can take out my spinal column, and then I can be ridden by a lady, not in bloomers, and thank my stars no bloomers have ever yet en veloped me in thoir fold?. That time tho man had me ou trial, I think it was my most unoomfortablo experience, for he was green at the business and so was I, and the result was that both of us got bumps innu merable, and though he came out of it with a twisted kneo and sprainod ankle and a barked nose and a lame arm and a hurt back and a block eye with a few other incidental casualties, I was noth ing to brag of myself. That's why when ho had to give me up they put me on the hiroliug list. But I was experienced and that was something. A bicyole has a good deal to learn whon it first leavos the factory. People who camo to hire wheols looked a little shy at mo as I stood quietly in my rack and then passod me by, but not for long. My koepers put a now coat cf enamel on me and other wise put mo in shape, and thereafter I bncatno quite popular. Riders who had mo out for a spin when they re turned would say they didn't know why it was, but I soomed to bo more intelligent than other wheels thoy had tried, and I was not half as liable to moke a sudden swerve and bang into a wagon in the street or into a gate post or ovor a bank, or to do any one ot the forty dozen other things a bicy cle is likely to do when the rider is least expeoting it. Of course, I knew this myself and was constantly striving to please, just as any other publio servant is, for hadn't I had enough of bang and butter with that instalment plun party? I guesi yea, and I am sure a properly regulated bicycle knows when it has had enough. Sometimes, though, I couldn't help being a littlo frisky. Onoe I remem ber on athletic sort of a fellow took me out aud for six mortal hours he podalel me all over every rood "iu the suburbs, rough uud smooth, aud al most drove every bit of breath d'it of my tires. I submitted because I couldu't well do otherwise, but the time of my revenge was at baud. He was pumping me along abit of pleasant couutry road where tho shade would havo boeu very grateful to mo if he hud ouly run along slowly, when he caught up with a pretty girl on an awfully oruameutal wheel. I could hear him luugh wit ha chuckle at his luck, and he sailed alousido of her aud bogau talking. Of course, ho had no business to, but bicyclists that way are not so extremely formal, and she talked book to him, aud it wasn't long until he was entirely absorbed iu the girl, aud was leaving all tho rest of the matter to me. Then I pricked up my ears aud got ready, and all ut ouoe, whon we came to a good plaoo, 1 took a header iuto a ditch, the girl screamed, tke man swore, und I lay over on my side helpless, but happy. Ho aud I rodo home iu a pussiug pie wagon, the girl disappeared, aud it cost him $7 for repairs. All kiuds of people hired me, aud with most ot them I could do very well. Never, though, with u fat wo man. Thero was one of theso that thought she could reduce her flesh by ridiug, and she lit right down ou uij the first time she camo iuto my place. How I regretted thut I had not been born a mau's machine, when she settled herself fifuily iu my Huddle, uud began poddliug like a duek iu the water. After that every day she came after me, and I began to feel my bur den was more thau I could bear. But there was auother woman uh, me, what a delight it was to go flying with her. She was a duinty little creature, light as a fairy and strong as wire, aud bho kuew where all the prettiest places were, and there we went together, and she drew pictures 0 of sylvan soonos while I lonned up against a tree and watched her by tho hour. One dAy a hnndsomo young follow wheelod by, and they noddod pleasantly, sho blushing a bit, and he smiling. Sovcral days after that they oanoo'to my place together, and she took me away with her for three days. That was a delight to me, for we went far off by easy stages, and the young man o i his own wheel o beauty it was, too went with us. There woro others in the party, but my interest was in these two, and I paid no hoed to whot the others did or where they went. Tho third day, as we wont bowling homeward, my lady appeared to be ill at ease, and there were tiraos when if I hod not had all my wits about me we would surely have gone off tho road aud over the bank into whatever may havo boen below tohavorocoived us. The young man was never far off, but ho was not as he had been, and after wondering noarly all day what could hove hap pened, I remombered to havo seen them the night before on tho piazza, where I leaned up against tho wall. I was feeling the need of rest and did not pay much attention to them, but I remembered that they were quarrelling (one of those lovers' quar rels, you know) and sho was an inde pendent littlo body, quite equal to copo with any man. I knew this and so let it pass and took my rest quite oblivious to my surroundings or theirs. What really happened I don't know, but it must have been more serious thau I suspected, for our homeward trip was anything but pleasant. Then 1 '.didu't see him any more, though she and I took many little af ternoon and morning spins together. I say I did not seo him any more I mean, for somo time. That was sev eral weeks later. We had gone iuto quite a remote section, whore there wasexoallent sketching ground, and she had left mo by a feuco and clamb ered across a stony field among the crags overhanging a stream. I sup pose she had been gono ou hour whon I hoard her scream, and a minute or two later a man's voice shouting. No answer came to it, and presently his head showed above the rocks and he came tearing my way. He looked dreadfully frightened, and when ho saw mo he said "Thank Ood 1" with a sincerity thut seemed like a prayer, and swinging me out into the road he cent me along at a speed I thought was not in me. By degrees I began to un derstand that my lady washurt in some way and he was going for help, for ho was the young man my young lady ad mired most, and it wua his face I bod seen in her sketches even more 'of thorn than before wo had gono on that throe days' trip and hod come homo in a quarrel. Of course, when I knew what was expected of me to get the young man where help was, I braced myself to do my bost, and I think I added greatly to his spocd by my prompt response to his efforts. Ho didu't know that a dumb wheel knew anything, but I am sure my lady would hove known, for we were suoh good friends and 1 had never given her a moment's pain iu all my life. Well, after five miles of a run wo reached a physician's office iu a little village and tho young man hurried the dootor in to a carriage and back again wo went, he riding uway, tolling tho doctor whero to come I won't say what kind of time we made, but I think wo did that five miles iu ton minuter, though, being excitod at the moment, I may be exaggerating. In any event the young man got book quite a time be fore the doctor did, aud when he came he found me leaning against the rooks and my lady's head resting on the young man's arm. She was as white as a lilly, "vith a littlo line of blood rnuning down from under a handker chief the young man had tied about her bead, and whon the doctor come she fainted, though she was conscious when tho young man and I got back. Tho doo tor immediately went about fixing her so ho co n Kl carry her to a better pluoe among those rocks, aud as he worked over her I heard tho youug man telling him how ho hod been fishing iu the stream below, buj.1 how he had soon her on the crags above, where a stone loosend nudo her foot, throwing her over into the water, where she struck a glauciug blow upon a rock, which cut her temple. The water was not deep, but stunuod as she was, she wouht havo drowned if ho hud not becu there to rescuo her, aud ho had bound up hur hoa.l and rushed away ou mo for the help that was needed. The dootor laughed softly as the young man was telling ull this to him, und ho looked at him rather queerly, I thought, for a physician to do iu time of such awful danger, for my lady looked like she was dead, sho was that white. "Is sho your wife?" asked the doo tor, still smiling. "Oh, no," replied tho young man, blushing furiously. "I thought it hadn't gouo quite that far," said the doctor, aud he laughed so that the young man got mad, and begun to cay words at the doctor. "That's all right," luughod the doo tor agaiu. "I like to see your inter est iu her. She will be your wife some day or I'm uo judge of sigus. Help me to put her iu tho carriage. ( think by the time wo got her to my ullioosho will be sufficiently recovered to go homo." Going back, tho youug man wheeled right uloug behind the ourrisge as if it ull depended ou him. I rf.iu'i think I ever saw so youug a luaa kliut had quurrelle J with a girl take so much in terest iu her. He even forgot me ut the doctor's office, aud they hud to send out for me the next 1 - Hut my lady was all right, and iu. was enough glory for both of us. Postcript Didn't I bogiu this by Haying thut I was u bicycle for hire? I wish to correct that. My lady ami the youug uiau c:ne iuto my plaoj tj- day, and sho put her prettv whito hand on me and pattod mo as if I woro very dear to her, and she told tho mau in charge of tho place to send mo up to her houso and aond tho bill along. "My husband will pay it," she said, and the young man smiled radinntlyon her, and, giving mo a sounding slap on the saddle, remarked: "Old fel low, you're a oorker." I don't know what that is, but I guoss I must be it, for ho would hardly toll a fib in the prosonoo of my lody. Detroit Froo Press. Oklahoma's Do? Killer. Down in Oklahoma they havo many queer ways and queer things. The way they dispose of outlawed dogs would cause a oitizou of Kansas City, who is used to tho comparatively peaceful ways of tho dog catcher and his nooso and profanity, s shock. They havo neither wagon nor noose in Oklahoma cities, but thoy havo few stray curs whioh have forfeited their right to live bo causo they have no master. .... Not long ago a Kansas City man stood on ono of the principal streets of a bustling town, looking up and down and figuring on the tablet of his mind a future great city, when up the street bo heard the report of a gun aud saw a crowd of people run in every direction. 'Ah!" he thought, "a tragedy. What luck." For your ordinary peaceful citizen likes nothing better than the stimulus of a shock of that kind when in a oountry with a reputa tion for desperate deeds and men. Standing in tho street was a small man holding a smoking shotgun, and writhing upon tho ground was a big yellow dog. Auother shot and tho dog was dead. Then tho crowd swarmed in, and the man with the gun wormod his way out, followed by a orowd of adoring small boys. It was the city dog catcher. No noose aud long torturo for dogs iu that town. The city exeoutioner just loads up his gun and goos out and cancels a dog or two, and then ooileots a salary from tho town. ---Kansas City Star. Learn to Listen. If the reader will listen to any heated dobate, he will almost certainly find that neither of the disputants is making the slightest effort to recog nize tho force of his opponent's argu ments ; but each is only watching for somethiug in the other's words that ho, can criticise, some weak spot that he oan assail. That sort of thing may bo all very well for soldiers on the field of battle, or for lawyors before the bar, but it is altogether unworthy of intelligent men in discussing the eternal verifier. Evory man should realize that as his own knowledge of spiritual truth is necessarily imper fect, it is altogether likely that he can learu some thing from the man who differs from him most radically, and that it is far better to loam what ho con from that mau than to wasto time and make sacrifice of good-fellowship by aimless controversy. That seoms a very simple proposition, and yet all the bitter controversies and religious persecutions of the pat, and all the doctrinal disputes of tho proeent are duo to tho failure of men generally to see the truth th.it each cau ieuru somethiug from the other, but that no man can convince another against his will. It is not the most fluent talker, not the most plausible debater who gives the greotest proof oi intelligence, but the man who is always ready to listen and to learu. Now York Witness.

One'of tho greatest mistakes about food which pooplo make is to forget that the true value of food to any body is tho measure of its digestibil ity. Half a pound of cheeso is vastly more nourishing, as regards its nioro composition, than half a pound of beef; but, whilo the beef is easily di gested, and thus of vast scrvioe, tho chooeo is put out of court altogether for some folk by reason of its difficult digestibility. Revolution in the Oil Industry. The refined oil, worth SI a gallon, is largoly usod for food. One-half the whole product, or 500,000 barrels, is used in tho four groat centers of tho industry, Chicago, Kansas City, St, Louis aud Omaha, for making lard ; half the remainder is sent to Holland for making bogus buttor, and tho rest of the product is usod at home, or seut abroad to other localities for tho same use or for filliug cheeso. Some of it appears on tho tables us refined olivo oil for use iu salads, aud some is used for the preparation of tho popular Saratoga potatoes. Thus, for small and great uses this new product is en tering iuto almost every opening thut oan be matte for it by the withdrawal ot other oils or fats. It is curious to notothe effects of this now product. It has wholly chaugod the mauner of making pork, from tho production of heavy pigs to light, small ones, for thin, lean meat, aud no uso for tho inside fat. It has greatly restricted the sale of butter, especially the lower qualities of it, aud changed to a large extent the mauner of making cheese, obliterating to a serious degree tho market for puro dairy uoods, aud, in the end, causiug.what is culled in the parlouco of tho uiurketiucut, the great slump iuthe vblue of cheeso. It has led to tho destruction of tho olive groves in great part.
