Cycling is the sport of sports, and
it is continually broadening its sphere
of usefulness, says the New York Tri
bune. The reasons for its ever-increasing
popularity are manifold, the prin
cipal ono being that there is no other
method of locomotive that is at once
so practicable, cheop, speedy and
pleasurable. To many tho bicycle is
necessity; to all it is a continuous do
light. The father will cut down his
expenses, the wife will curtail in con
ducting the household and the children
will sacrifice anything to get a bicycle,
and generally the machine proves a
blessing to ull concerned in its owner
ship. Indications point to a . decided fnll
ng olF in the number of immigrants
landing upon our shores during .the
present fiscal year, nutes tlio- Atlanta
Constitution. Up to this 'time only
195,000 immigrants have entered our
ports, whereas for tho corresponding
months of the year preceding, some
thing like 325,000 immigrants landed
upon our shores. One reason for this
marked diminution is, of course, found
in the stringency of our immigration
laws. Within the past few years these
immigration laws have undergone de
cided modification, and the result is not
only that thousands of pauper immi
grants are yearly sent back to Europe,
but that thousands are deterred from
crossing tho water. In view of this ex
planation it is evident that while the
number of our foreign immigrants has
fallen off considerably during the past
year, the loss has been restricted al
most exclusively to illiterate and pauper
immigrants. Instead of operating to
our detriment, therefore, tho string
ency of our immigration laws has
operated to our National benefit.
There is still room for improvement,
however, as the country is not yet free
from the contaminating influences of
European pauperism and illiteracy.
The New York Post states that a
blow has been struck in Maryland at
one class of fraternal insurance asso
ciations the class misnamed "frater
nal," which trades for profit on the
favor shown the real fraternal organi
zations. Maryland has a good law on
this subject, requiring all fraternal
beneficiary associations to have "a
representative form of Government,"
and to be "carried on for tho Bole
benefit of its members and their bene
ficiaries nud not for profit." Tho so
called International FraternaljAlliance
did not comply with these require
ments, and on a suit instituted by the
Attorney-General its charter has been
forfeited. Tho Alliance had no sepa
rate funds or accounts for its different
forms of business, conducted a direct
life insurance in addition to tho assess
ment insurance, and had no represen
tative form of Government for tho certificate-holders.
Worso than all else,
it conductod an endowment business
and failed in it signally, as did its
numerous predecessors. On one class
of endowment policies, the terms of
which guaranteed a payment of $700,
a note assessment of $050 was levied
in the last year of their existence. This
was a clear confiscation of the policy,
as well as an abuse of the principles of
the corporation.

The Magic
By L. E.
HEN I saw that it
was likely to rain all
day I determined to
visit my friend Azral,
who keeps the vertu
shop on Wardour
street. I had sev
eral holidays on hand
and knew of no more delightful way
of spending an idle hour than in look
ing over old Azral's collection of vertu,
which hud a great fasciuatiou for me.
Tho old man, who had taken quite a
fancy to me probably because I could
appreciate his love for the bizarre nnd
antique and who even become quite
chatty at times, was a venerablo He
brew who boasted descent from David.
Contrary to the traditional character
istics of his race, he wa frank and
open-handed I had found him even
generous.
A lino old fellow he was, tall, majes
tic, with a long white beard sweeping
his breast; stately and slow in speech,
polite, but not cringing, with that
self-respecting conrtesy which Dickens
gives us in lihth, the "Godmother." I
cnunot say why, but he wns my inind
picture of Aaron he had a sort of
silent eloquence about him. Without
kith or kin, he lived in the love of his
relics, his children ho called them.
And a rare and exquisite, but decided
ly diversified, fnmily he had.
The shop, which was wedged in be
tween a jeweler's on one hand and n
second-hand hook-dealer's on the
other, wns narrow and low, but ex
tended back some distance. On
shelves in tho walls, on tables, in
drawers were spread the objects of his
passion in the most euchnuting disre
gard for the conventional modes of ar
rangement. Here a shelf of old
Dutch faience showed stout burgomas
ters in. blue and yellow. Next was a
shelf from which gleamed arms nnd
cutlery, swords, renl Damascus blades,
of so magnificent a temper as to admit
of being bent in a circle. Here was a
bureau drawer full of exquisite ivory
carvings, crucifixes and amulets of rich
and varied workmanship side by side
with diminutive Persian narghiles and
squat Chinese josses. In the next was
agate from Japanese lapiduria, along
with wood fretwork from Goneva and
jet from Cornwall. Hero hung a paint
ing of Cimabue, here ono of Guido,
there one of Benjamin West.
To examine such a curiosity "shop
was my delight, and I often resorted
there. He hud lately bought a stock
of Moorish jewelry, and asked me to
examine it. I eagerly complied, and
while looking it over saw a curious
breastpin that immediately attracted
my attention. A delicate little golden
heart held together two swords crossed.
The swords were each about three
inches long, ono n Scotch claymore of
pure greeu gold, the baskethilt of tho
most beautiful lace-like aralx'squo
tracery of gold interwoven with silver.
At the end of tho haudle sparkled a
tiny topaz, scintilnting like an impris
oned sunbeam. The other was an
Eastern simitar, with broad, slightly
curving blade and an edge of some
white metal, possibly silver. At the
cross-piece of tho haudle there wns a
ruby, and at each end of the cross
piece a diamond of tho purest water.
The heart bore two inscriptions, oue
in Arabic and one in Latin.
The Latin was "Gladii duo, cor
unum." The whole thing had a rich
exotic look about it that stimulated
my curiosity. I asked my venernblo
friend if I might buy it.
"No," ho snid slowly "no, thnt is
not for sale; but if you like it I will
tell you its history."
I replied that nothing would please
me better.
."That breastpin," said he, "is n
trust confided to me. Last year I was
in the Holy Land with my mother, in
Jerusalem. Once on a journey to visit
my kinsman, Javnu, nt Damascus, I
came upon a poor Turk half dead by
tho wayside. He had been attacked
and beaten by robbers so that he wns
dying. I got off my boast, and went
to hiin and tried to lift him Tip. He
attempted to speak. Bending close, I
caught the question in Arabic:
"'Art thou n Jew?'
" 'I am.'
" 'I had some faint hope that thou
wen a vurisuun, a i.uropeau, per-
cuance an l.nglisumnn.
" 'I live in England, in London,' I
sniu.
"The dying man clasped his hands
'Allah is good,' ho whispered. Do
thou lift my head up. I have a trust.
I will confide it to thee.' Here his
breath caino thick and I could scarcely
hear the' words. 'My father mode

partly drew it forth again when death
began to glaxe his eyes. 'Allah Ak
bari' he murmured faintly, aud the
spark went out.
He had taken from his breast that
jewel; the parchment around it said:
'James Thursby, Singleton Cross,
London, England,' and I must de
liver it to James Thursby." The old
man paused.
".My wife s father was James Thurs
by!" I exclaimed, excitedly. "Ho
has been dead these ten years, and
Singleton Cross is our home."
'Then if thou art really his rela
tive thou hast been blest of fortune.
Mine eyes would rejoice to behold thy
wiie.
Tho next day I brought my wifo with
me to see the venerable-Hebrew.
"Daughter," said he, after we had
presented indisputable proof of our
connection to James Thursby, nnd
given documentary evidence of my
wife's genenlogy for the old man,
friendly as ho had boen, was cautious
about giving up his trust, and in that
he was, of course, justifiable "and
so, my daughter, thy sire was James
Thursby. Then I have fulfilled my
trust," and ho handed her tho beauti
ful jewel.
Once at home wo were all burnintr
with eagerness to examine it more
closely. I held it up to the light. As
I did so tho handle of the simitar
pressed against my hand, nnd click
tue swords uncrossed. They had been
set at angle of about twenty degrees.
and now they were at right angles. I
was nstonished, perplexed. I tried to
get tliein back to their ornnnal posi
tion, but they were firm. What did
it menu.' I turned the piu around in
every conceivable way, pressed every
port for secret springs, but no solutiou
of the puzzle oftered itself. Much dis
nppointcd I laid it down, and my wifo
took it nnd began to examine it.
In picking it up the point of the
claymore pressed against the table,
and her finger rested on the hilt of
the simitar. Immediately there was
a click ns before, but mirabilo dictu!
the jewel did not assume its original
form, but the simitar opened like a
box split lengthwise. That is, there
were now two scnuetars precisely
alike, ench ono half as thick as the
first one, joined by a most perfect but
entirely invisible hinge, and inside
was n tiny pieco of very, very line
parchment.
Trembling with eagerness I opened
the parchment. Ha! something writ
ten but in Arabic What a shame!
Hut no; I would show it to my friend
tho Jew. lie would interpret it for
me.
1 looked longingly nt tho claymore
and tried to open it. I set its point
on the table and pressed its hilt. No
result! llien I remembered that when
the simitar opened the point of the
sword touched the tablo aud my wife
pressed the hilt of tho former weapon.
I believed I had found tho secret.
Setting the points of tho Saracen
weapon on tho table I touched the
basket hilt of the tiny claymore.
Magic! Open flew the sword. In it
was a paper or parchment like the
other, but triumph! iu English.
And this is what it said (I had to use
a magnifying glass to read it) :
in tno JNnme of clod. Amen!"
Theu followed tho regular legal for
mula of an Lnglish will, bequeathing
to James Thursby or his heirs the sum
of $1)0,000 sterling, to be found de
posited in the Hauk of England. It
was signed "Nonrcddin Ago," and
witnessed with long Turkish names.
Then followed the nnmo of a prom
inent London business house as agent
of Noureddiu, nud in whose name tho
deposit had been mndo.
To say that I was utterly dumb
founded is to put it very mildly in
deed. It read so much like n fairy
talo that I almost looked to see the pin
take wings aud lly off. As for my
wife, she acted ns though she was be
witched. Wo sat staring at ench
other iu silence. She was the first to
speak.
"Stephen," she snid, "I think"
but here there came a voice from the
door. "Where's Sue?" it said, and
my wife's elder half-brother appeared.
No sooner, however, had he glanced
nt the table than he stopped short and
cried excitedly; "Where did you get
that?"
"Wo are just recovering from the
aurpriso it gave us," said I, laughing,
"Look nt it."
But he had it in his hand beforo I
had spoken, saying as he picked it up,
"This is worth a fortune to you."
I looked at Sue in surprise.
"What is it, Arthur?" she asked
eagerly. "Tell us about it: we
don't understand."
"As I thought," he said; as he
scanned the document in English.
"how can yon keep as in such sus
pense?" Well," replied Arthur, "it's Mther

A. P. His grandson Magnus was a
knight in the First Crusade. He
fought tinder Hugh of Vermandois at
the battle of Antioch. During a
desperate charge Magnus' heavy Nor
man horse stepped on a wounded
Turk and crushed his foot.
"In the heat of battle Magnus could
not stop for one man, though he did
remark the noble countenance of the
Moslem over whom he had ridden.
But after the Turks had been driven
back, and he, like a true knight, was
caring for the wounded scattered over
the plain, he came across this same
man. Magnus cared for hira, nursed
him tenderly, and they struck up quite
a friendship. Noureddin, the Turk,
was a man of affluence and nobility
of charnoter. Before they separated
they exchanged weapons, Noureddin
taking Magnus' heavy Scotch clay
more, and Magnus the simitar of the
Moslem.
"They met again at 'Ascalon, this
time Magnus being a prisoner. The
chivalrous Mussulman treated him like
a prince aud had two jeweled breast
pins made by a Damascene artisan,
showing a sword crossing a simitar
over a heart of gold. Each took one as
a keepsake, and solemnly swore a

Sulfide of a Dog.
The tenants of Nos. 10, 12 and 14
Forsyth street, were badly frightened
by a dog, which they thought mad.
Heury Westey, the jnnitor of No. 12,
saw the animal first, and he says its
eyes bulged, its month frothed, and
its mouth snapped as it began to circle
around him on the sidewalk. He
picked np a child that was playing
near and running into the house,
darted into a room on the ground floor
just in time to save his life and that of
the child. For the dog, a small brown
cur', come with a bump and a growl
against the door. Then the dog went
up to the roof, the people in the house
shrieking the warning to keep out of
the way.
A few minutes Inter the dog leaped
off the roof to a shed five stories below
and broke its legs. A man in the shed
was frightened out of it by the thud of
the fall, but his wife from the window
above shrieked to him to hurry back
out of sight of the infuriated animal.
A policeman came and shot the dog.
Theu a reporter arrived and began to
inquire among the neighbors about the
history of the dog's madness. It is
possible he was mad, if despair, hun
ger, thirst and ill-treatment can affect
the canino brain. For one of the
women remembered that the dog had
been seen on the roof for three days.
Sometimes it had scratched at the
doors for food or water, but it got
none. The women drove it off with
brooms and the men hurled at it the
next thing at hand. It was a pretty
clear case of animal suicide which the
janitor might have provented with a
drink of water or a morsel of food.

A Sparrow's Gratitude to a Boy.
It is a rare occurrence for animals
in a wild state to select a man for a
companion and friond, yet well-authenticated
instauces when this has been
done are a mntter for reoord The
following incident is vouched for by a
young woman who is a close and ao
curate observer:
"Last week my brother (a lad of
twelve) killed a snake which was just
in the act of robbing a song sparrow's
nest Ever since then the male spar
row has shown his gratitude to George
in a truly wonderful manner. When
he goes into the garden the sparrow
will fly to him, sometimes alighting on
his head, at other times on his shout
dor, all tho while pouring out a
tumultuous song of praise nud grati
tude. It will accompany him about
the garden, never leaving him until
he reaches the garden gate. George,
as you know, is a quiet boy, who loves
animals, and this may account, in a
degree, for the sparrow's extraordinary
actions. " Louisville Courier-Journal.

The Cabbage Hoot Matrgnt.
The white maggot in cabbage root is
the lnrva of a two-winged ny, which
closely resembles the common house
fly except that it is smaller. The flies
appear in April and early May aud lay
eggs at the base of newly-set cabbage
plants. These eggs hatch in about a
week. The maggots begin work in
the young roots aud proceed in their
attack to the larger roots and finally
the stem. In two or three weeks the
maggots are full grown and proceed to
pupate. After some days the next
brood of flies emerges. There are
about three such broods.
The best treatment to avoid this
maggot is to put cabbage iu ground
where turnips, radishes or cabbage
were not grown the previous year
There is no satisfactory remedy to de
stroy the maggots aud save the cab
bage, but the best is the use of carbon
bisulphide. Inject a teaspoonful just
under the plant when the maggots are
first discovered in May. It would not
be safe to replant the same ground
with cabbage either this or next sea
son, although late cabbage is not so
much troubled as is the early crop,
Lime or Bait would not destroy or
drive away the maggots. American

Watermolons are excessive feeders.
and many fail in attempting to grow
tuem because they do not furnish suf
ficient plant food to supply the neces
sary strength for vigorous vine and
flue fruit. Not infrequently water
melon vines turn yellow and die when
they should be just in their prime
simply from plant starvation.
I prepare the ground as for corn.
Lay off in rows twelve feet apart each
way. I dig a hole about one and one-
half feet deep and perhaps three feet
in diameter. In the bottom of this I
put a peck or more of good stable ma
nure, tramping it lightly. Next put
in a layer of soil, and follow with a
layer made up of equal parts of soil
and fine rich manure thoroughly
mixed, and, lastly, where the seeds
are to be placed, another layer of pure
soil. Sow seeds thickly and cover
about one inch. When the second or
third leaf shows thin out to two or
three plants iu tho hills. If excep
tionally large melons, regular "prize
takers," are desired, thin to but one
plant in the hill. I cultivate about as
I do corn, hoaing each hill after an
entire patch is 'plowed. If very dry,
cultivate often, particularly about the
hills. It is some trouble to thus pre
pare the ground, but it more than pays
in the size, number and quality of
melons produced, also in the increased
length of time that the vines are in
bearing, ns they remain green and in

The Horn lly.
One of our representatives writes
thnt the little black horn fly is again
appearing to the g-.'eat annoyance of
the cattlo nnd loss t the owners who
are anxious for practical methods to
prevent the loss of thrift whioh follows
the discomfort which the fly causes.
When the fly first .' appeared in this
country about ten years ago, all sorts
of wild stories were told concerning it
Among other things it was said that
the fly ate through the horn, caused it
to rot and laid eggs in it which after
wards penetrated the brain. There is,
of course, no truth in such tales, but
the facts are bad enough, for the an
noyance to cattle is very serious and
prevents thrift in beef animals and
milk production in dairy herds.
