Southern
Progress,
A monthly, sixteen-page
journal containing in each
number some twenty narra
tives of the South, chiefly
descriptive and pictorial.
! The paper is undoubtedly
' the best illustrated journal
! in the world, and the only
publication which presents
glimpses ol boutliern . lue
and Southern people. It
is a favorite souvenir with
those who have visited the
South; and it serves a good
purpose, in lieu of a visit,
to those who have never
been there.

Ttte bicycle, In on phJtM or another
of its career, is just aow engaging the
Attention of maojr legal authorities, and
before long we shall hae precedents
enough established to settle every bi
cycle case before It goee on trial. But
a week or two ago it was decided that
minors could not be held to installment
contracts, and now comes a decision to
the effect that beginners injured in rid
ing academies cannot recover damages
therefor when the instructors hawe ex
ercised reasonable care in the perform
ance of their duties.
Justice Scott, In trial term of the
New York supreme court, recently dis
missed, at the close of the evidence on
both sides, an action brought by Flor
ence Hans against Sidney Bowman to
recover $10,000 for injuries alleged to
be due to the negligence of an employe
of the defendant in teaching her how
to ride a bicycle. In October, 1895, Mrs.
. ITass went to the defendant's academy
' to take a btcycle lesson. She was en
abled to maintain her equilibrium dur
ing her maiden cfTorts to steer a wheel
by a strap held by the teacher, and,
after tJto manner of iti mid learners, she
bopped him not to let go. To let po be
in"; part of the business of teaching
bicycle riding, the teacher did so when
he thought the pupil sufficiently nt
home, nnd as a n-stilt of his first disre
gard of her entreaties she had n bad fall
and broke the bones of her log. The ac
tion was tried on the theory that the
teacher was guilty of carelessness in at
tempting to make the pupil ride alone
bo soon, nnd in not preventing her from
falling.
The defense was a deninl of nccrll
ret'ee, nnd nonsuit was moved nt the
close of the case on the ground that
neither the pleading nor the evidence
disclosed a cause of action, either on n
contract or for a tort.
.lust ice. Scott, in refusing to give the
cms.' to the jury, said: "This lady went
to this academy to learn to ride alone,
and it was absolutely necessary that nt
some time or other the teacher .should
let go of her;" that it appeared thntthe
defendant had engaged competent and
careful Instructors, and to hold him

" One of 'the tharges often brought
ogajnst tb spirit of ihe age' is that
jnarrlsgi la the middle or wealthy cir
cles of society is more besot with con
ventional obstacles than ever before.
'Young men with what was formerly
considered a reasonable income 4 ssy
they can no longer afford to msrry or
o engage in courtship, and so they set
lo down from necessity to s bachelor's
life. , But human nature ia a powerful
thing, and occasionally a young man
and a young woman break through the
artificial barriers and get married with
out regard to them. If both are of good
character and suited to each other ia
sge, culture and intelligence and are
not acting from mere impulse, saya a
.writer in the Detroit Free Press the
question of social caste is not one ap
pealing strongly to the general judg
ment. The natural order of things is
that young men and young women
should mate. To a certain extent safe
guard jM. ) Ih-rvvn about them, but
when tho marriage problem becomes
merely a matter of family ambition na
ture will protest, and so will the vast
.majority of munkiud. A false view of
marriage and the family can destroy
a nation and even a race. Marriage is
not intended to be a piece of machinery
for family aggruudizemcnt. Elope
ments, as a rule, are not to be commend
ed. It is a grave step to act counter
to parental wishes or advice. Parents
should be wise through experience, and
affectionate consideration is their due.
But the parent who desires his daugh
ter to make n grand match ns the first
object to be gained by marriage is not
well grounded in wisdom. The litera
ture of every age cries outagainstsuch
a view of marriage. Hundreds of the
most powerful books and dramas tear
it to pieces. If the course of true love
seldom runs smooth, yet it usually
renches its destination, and the world
applauds the happy ending. Marrying
exclusively for wealth or position is a
reproach, r.ud is generally mentioned
with a prediction that It will not turn
out well. The Iit of the social ship
wrecks foundering on that roekisalong
ona in the recollection of every one of
mature years.
Since Josef llofmann, the infant
prodigy of a few years ftgo, hns aston
ished the world by turningout an adult
genius also, there lias been a revival of
the infant prodigy industry. It had
fnllen into some disrepute owing to the
uneventful middle ttge of most youthful
phenouieuons. But lTofmana lias

Two popular society young ladies of
a Colorado town have for some time bad
serious differences over a prominent
young man. They were advised by
their friends that dueling among ludies
was not good form, so they decided to
settle the matter with the dice, though
the method seemed trivial. One of the
contestants had thrown four sizes and
her countenance plainly indicated that
she espeoted to win. The other bad
thrown once, with a pair of fives, when
the aforesaid young man appeared un
announced upon the scene. The pair
of fives looked bo small in comparison
with the four sixes, while to the fair
gambler the young man looked the
same na ever ho did, and at sight of
him her courage failed her and she cast
the dice box from her. The gamo was
not finished neither is the conquest.
U is interesting to observe that the

period Engaiat has fought six wars
not including conflicts with savages in
India and in Africa. And she has lost

gaged in six, and has lost two one with
the allied powers and one with Ger

lost two. out of five wars. Austria has
lost three out of five. Russia has lost
two and has gained two. Spain has lost
every war she baa undertaken in that
periodunless her ten years war with
Cuba may be called victorious.

AMERICAN BICYCLES.
They Are Imnienat-ly I'opulnr In (ier
msny, Swltaerlnnil ii:itl Ctlit-r
European Coaatrten.
A Series of consular reports has been
made to the state department showing
the wonderful progress of the trade jn
American bicycles in Oermnny, Switzer
land, and Ireland In particular. Hither
to the (Icrnian cycle manufacturers
have urged their govern incut not to as
sess .1 higher duty on Imported bicycles
a. t.c'.;, but to classify the.m for duty
under Paragraph 470 of the present law
as upholstered carriages, dutiable at
ISO marks ($37.50) each, wfliich wxiuld
be of course prohibitory. This would
require no new legislation, but merely
an administrative decision, giving to
bicycles, which were not an article t;f
commerce when the law wns enacted,
and are not therefore epeclflcolly men
tioned therein, an arbitrary and unjust
classification, under which each cyole
would pay the same duty as a four
wheeled carriage. As this would apply
to all imported bicycles those of Eng
lish and Belgian manufacture as well
ns American and thereby militate
against certalncommercinl treaties, the
decision, notwithstanding the frantio
appeals of the German makers, baa not
yet been gtven. Meanwhile the lead
ing American cycle manufacturers ore
stocking their depots in Germany with
full supplies for the incoming season
nd are preparing establish auxiliary
factories there whenever the prohib
itory edict may fall. Popular opinion,
even In Gerraeny, Is distinctly on the
side of the American nranufactureVs,
vrbose products have -not only cheap
ened hot. greatly improved the stand
ard of excellence In bicycle construe
tiop, whereas all the principal German
makers have earned large Incomes from
.both their home snd -export trade and
ate not therefore considered to be in a
trong position to demand new and ex
trsordihary protection. ' '
K short time ago the Impression pre
vailed that American wheels were too
light for Irish roads, and thai the
wooden rims used were not suitable for
the- damp climate. It would now ap
pear that the public is no longer of this
opinion. Not only have Jhe light Amer
ican ' machines become popular and
their lasting qualities been proven, but
British manufacturers have been com
pelled to build lighter machines to suit
the publio demand. l, Another feature
which Is liked in American machines Is
the longer crank and higher gear.
While the British machine has a six
inch crank and 00-lnch gear, the Amer
ican will have a seven or seven and a
quarter-Inch crank and 70-Inch gear.
Ths DtCereae la Gears.
, .The French and English cracks use
gears mbch higher than the class Amer
ican riders. . Ninety to 04 Inches is a
oonuBoa gear with the former, and
77 to 84 Inches wlUk tfce latter. The
Americans, -'hows wry rocs from three
to fife days 4 weak, while- the English
and French crack only race about orre
