BICYCLES IN OLYMPIC GAMES.
Modern Wheels Rolling Amid the Scenery
of Ancient Greece.
The Grecian athlete has taken up the
bicycle, according to our consul at
Athens, who, in a letter to the state de-
partment, calls attention to the chance
American wheelmakers have 0f dispos- 3 resolution to find out the names of hc'r
ing of their product. Consul George
Horton says “there are at the present
time about 400 bicycles in Athens.
They are mostly of English make. The
average price at which wheels sell here
is $78.65, and the average weight is 26
pounds. The character of the roads
renders a lighter make impracticable,
unless the machines are of a high grade
and with a wide base. The duty on
bicycles is insignificant, not being
manufactured here.
“The history of the bicycle in Greece
is interesting. The first machine was
brought here many years ago by the
king. It was an all-«wood affair, front
driving, of the variety known as ‘bone-
shaker.’ Naturally, his ”majesty did
not appear in public on the streets, as
bicycles were regarded by the natives
as supernatural and uncanny'for many
years. The pioneer bicyclists of Greece
were subjected to many inconvenien-
ces and even dangers. They were
hooted and laughed at on the streets of
Athens, ‘ and were sometimes stoned
and tumbled from their wheels. 'At
the present day the rustic generally
crosses himself and utters a prayer
when a bicycle passes him.
“Bicycling may be said to have com-
menced here in earnest about eight
years ago with the founding of several
clubs and the adoption of the wheel as
an amusement by leading Greeks. It
is safe to predict a craze in the near
future, as the royal family and many of
the leading diplomats are now en-
thusiasts. The crown prince and the
English, American and German min-
isters, among others, may be seen on
the streets every day mounted upon
wheels. Such leadership has more
weight in Greece than it would have in
America. Last year one of the dealers
here brought over five wheels of a cele-
brated American type from New York.
He had no difficulty in selling them im-
mediately at 1,000 drachmas apiece.
They were lighter than the English
makes ordinarily used here, and very
much admifed. No attempt has since
been made by American makers to
place wheels in Athens.
“Many agreeable excursions can be
made with the wheel, among them
from Athens tel Phalerum, to the
Piereus, to the king’s property at Tutoi,
to Marathon,to Thebes and other places.
Many long trips are possible; for ex-
ample, there is a magnificent road
skirting the sea all the way to Corinth.
After stopping a day or two to visit
the ancient Acropolis one may continue
the journey to Nauplia, the capital of
Greece under Otho, taking in the ruins
of Mycenae, Argos and Tyreus on the
way. The scenery of such a trip is
magnificent beyond description, and
the points touched at are of surpassing
historical interest. The climate is fa-
vorable for bicycling, there being awet
and a. dry season, so that one knows be~
fore starting what weather to expect.”
The revival of the Olympian games,
which occurs in April, will include
bicycle races, and Consul Horton
thinks American wheelmakers would
find it advantageous to have a repre-
sentative present.—-—Boston Herald.
ON THE WRONG SIDE.
One Woman's Search for Her Ancestors
Reunited in Disappointment.
She had been invited to be present at
the reception of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, and her heart
glowed wiflh' patriotism as she beheld
the American flags, shields, coats of
arms and streamers wit-h which the
room was decorated. The speeches
added to her exaltation, and she felt
the blood of fighting sires running like
fire through her veins.
The woman in the stunning chin-
chilla cape and blue velvet gown, who
really didn’t “look as though she had
ever had any ancestors,” had discovered
a friend in the dowdy woman in gray
and the outsider heard her say: “Oh,
yes; I belong. My children can trace
their ancestry back through five lines
to the Norman conquest.”
A little gasp from the recipient of
this information broke the awestruck
pause, and then, regaining her breath,
the dowdy woman, with her nose top
. tilted. said: “They are fortunate in-
with himself and his enemies. Give the dealer 5 cents and ask for
‘A
deed. We are proud of our two lineal
tracings to the days "of King Arthur;
but only claim our ancestry back to
the revolution, since we live in a re-
publican country.”
The spirit of envy devoured the wom-
an who was not a “Daughter.” The
very next day she put into efiect her
revolutionary ancestors, for 'she was
assured she must have had them. For
three days she searched records, and
the fourth day she searched again,
and “ran them to earth.” “James Brown

and Ellen Smith,” dated back to 176‘.)

sighed a great sigh of relief. But»—

GOOD THINGS TO EAT.
Green Currant'Pies.—Pick the cur-
rants from the stem and stew them for
five minutes in barely enough water to
cover them; then sweeten them to taste
and pourwhile hot into the crust, place
on the top crust and bake until brown.
Ripe Currant Pies—If very ripe,a lit-
tle cornstarch must be added to the
sugar with which the currants are
sweetened, to absorb the juice. The
best pics are made with partly ripe cur-
rants. Bake with an upper and under
crust like the green currents.
Cream Gruel.—Mix three tablespoon-
fuls of Indian meal with sufficient cold
water to make a. smooth paste. Add
by degrees one pint of boiling water.
Let boil ten minutes and salt to taste.
At the last moment add a generous
tablespoonful of cream, which must be
hot, but not boiling.
Currant Pickles—Boil two pounds of
sugar in a pint of vinegar, add nutmeg
and cinnamon to taste, and half a cup of
good raisins. When thoroughly boiled
skim out the spices and raisins, put in
the currants, and let them boil two min-
utes, then skim them out carefully and
put them into the jar where they are to
remain. Boil the sirup ten minutes
longer, and pour it over the fruit. Cover
closely and set away in a cold, dry place.
