Now Dr. Atherton wants the Leg islature to pa.Hs a luw that will pro vide for the creation of free scholar ships in the State Collece in the pro portion of two each for every legis lative and senatorial district. Dr. Atherton has pulled about all the money out of the State Treasury he can get in the old way. He now wants to taffy the members and Sen ators with the plea that they can Bend their own sons to be educated free. What an outrage ! And of course if the bill ever becomes a law Hast ings will sign it. It goes to Centre county, you know. To Tax Bicycles Two bills were introduced in the House of Representatives at Harris burg last wook providing for levying a tax ou bicycles. One was from Representative Spatz, of Berks county, which would tax each bi cycle, owned in tLo State, one dollar to bo paid into the State treasury, for the improvement of the public roads. The other was olfored by Representative Tipton, of Aduiun county, and seeks to levy a tax (no amount named) on all bicycles, ex cept those held by manufacturers and dealers for sale, for road pur poses. It would bo just as well, perhaps, for some other member of the House to have thoso bills amended to cover buggies, carriages, wagons and wheelbarrows aud thon for the rest of the members to got on to them with their brogans aud stamp the stuiKu out of them. A more un just and ridiculous measure could not be conceived in the brain of an average law maker. To single out bicycles for a tax of that kind would be unfair, unequal and a disgrace to the State. The present method of taxation might be improved but the equality with which the levy is made seems to be all right and it would be very strange that the vehicle that does as little dainago to roads as the rubber tired bicycle does should be taxed to keep the roads in repair, If the proposition were confined to building narrow paths at the side of road for the use of bicycle riders a different view right be taken of the subject. Washington and the Bicycle Craze. The ubiquition makes it import ance felt in many ways in Washing ton. The miles upon miles of as phalt streets ami avenues from an ideal place for wheeling, and the fad has taken possession of all classes of society. . The growth in the popularity of the bicycle has been particularly rapid since the introduction of the pneumatic tire. It has boon enthus iastically seized by women and chil dren as a means of health giving ex ercise, and within the past year the riders of this class have been in creased by thousands. Perhaps the enormity of the in dustry may be appreciated better by inquiring into the relative num ber of of patents granted relating to new forma of wheels, and their con tantly increasing variety of acces sories. A meant naoer stated that of the 26,000 patents granted in England during the past year, one-third re lated in some way to the bicyclist 8 rnnuirementa. Iu this country the proportion of applications for pat ents in the same line has increased enormously. In the Patent Office all inventions are grouped into about two hundred and fiteen classes, and there are about one hundred and sixty as sistant examiners, so it will be Been that on an average each assistant will have to take charge of one class and part of another. Bicycles are examined in Division 7, and the number of assistants has had to be almost doubled in the past two years. Nearly the entire force is engaged in examining applications in this one class, and even then it is impossible to keep up with the work. At the present time there are nearly 1,000 applications on hand awaitintr action, and these do not in clude bicycle pumps or bells. On our streets may be Been al most every kind of machine that is made, because inventors of new types of apparatus bring them here to demonstrate their good points to the Patent Oflice Examiners, or to organize stock companies for their manufacture,. Here you can see the motor bicycle, monocyclo, sex- tuplctte, liiille Tower wheel, water bicycle, etc., etc. The crowth of the ' wheel' in dustry commercially is seen from the great increase in the numbor of stores dealing in bicycles and bicycle sundries. Eight years ago there wero about live or six, aud now there ore about five or six hundred. The Patent Office records disclose some queer applications of the ap paratus. One of the earliest patents covered a vehicle in which dogs were used for motive power. Ther were placed within the . hollow front wheel and as they tried to climb up the forward slope of the wheel they caused the same to rotate and the machine to advance. One inventor proposes to use the the bicycle gearing to operate the propelling apparatus of a flying ma chine. Still another devises a ma chine suitable to use on the long fences in the west. With this the farmer ean in the springtime, when the ground is wet, make tours of ob servation abcut his ranch or visit his neighbor. Bitterness of a South Carolina Editor. From the Hariwoll Hud. The Lord loves a cheerful giver. He'll take care of the editor. He has a charter from the State to act as a door mat for the community. He will got the paper out somehow, and stand up for the town, and whoop it up for you when you run for oflico, and lie about your pigeon-toed daughter's tackey wedding, aud blow about your big footed son whon he gets a four-dollar-a week job, nnd weep over your shriveled soul wheu it is released from its gasping body, and smile at your wife's second marriage. Don't worry about the editor: he'll get along. The Lord only knows how but somehow. Nothing to Boast Of. Joe Lumbard boasts of a victory made possible by promises of six or eight postoffices, several positions us storekeeper and guager, fourteen dollars worth of whiskey and $ $. Mis crowd got a committeeman bo full that he could not walk without assistance and then tried to put the blame on iunocent parties. Now they boast, and of sucli a victory ! The Gov.

National Ed ucator. Coasump tion Out-door life and Scott's Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil with Hypophospbites have cured thousands of cases of consump tion in the early stages. They cure old, advanced cases too; but not so many, nor so prompt ly. When a case is so far ad vanced that a cure cannot he made, even then SCOTT'S EMULSION checks the rapid ity of the disease, relieves the pains in the chest, reduces the night sweats, and makes the cough easier. In these cases it comforts and prolongs life. Don't experiment with cures that destroy the digestion. Pin your faith to the one remedy which has been THE STAN dard foR Over 20 Years.

A Hmm When Women Are BiuoptlbU to Ji&D Dreod llnue. The anxiety felt by women as the "change of life" draws near, is not without reason When her system is in a deranged condition, or she is predisposed to apoplexy, or con gestion of any or gan, it is at this period likely to become actiTe and with a host of nervous irrita tions, make life a bur den. often shows itself, and docs its de structive work. Such warning symptoms as sense of (suffocation, lieduche, dread of impend ing evd, timidity, sounds in the ears, palpitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregularities, constipation, variable appetite, weakness and in quietude, dizziness, etc., are promptly heeded by intelligent women who are approaching the period in life where woman's great change may be expected. Thousands at this critical time consult Mrs. J'inUham, and conduct their hq bits according to her odvice, and with the Vegcto,' ble Compound go through that dis tressing time with perfect safety and comfort. Mrs. W. L. Day, of IietU- Tille, Ohio, ays : " When all else failed, Lydia E. Pinkhum's Vegetable Compound saved my life. It carried me through the change of life all right, and I am now in good health. It also cured my husband of kidney trouble." Xla ADMINISTRATORS NOTICK.
