Siin Francisco municipal officers have decreed that no bicycle rider shall carry on his 'wheel a child under six years of age. Cycles are used in large, numbers in Johannesburg, South Africa. It is said there are 4,000 in use by all classes in that place. Arthur Zimmerman, the champion racer, announces that he will not ride this year except for pastime, having accepted a. position as cycling editor on a cit-y paper. ' Washington leads all the cities in this country in- bicyle riding, on account of its excellent streets. In fact, it might be said with truth that everybody rides, young and old, rich and poor. A new use for the bicycle has been discovered in the New York state re- formatory at Elmira, which is much commended by the general superintend- ent. The captain of the watch makes his rounds within the prison proper through the. main corridors on a cycle. All hopes of getting any satisfaction for the murder in Armenia of Lenz, the American bicycle tourist, have been abandoned. The apathy of the Turkish officials, or their open opposition, has hampered inquiry until the American investigators have left in despair. WHAT THE FLOWERS MEAN. The scarlet fuchsia is symbolic of good taste. There is nothing prettier than a bed of these flowers, the bril- liancy of their hue being admirably Set off by the green of their foliage. The American elm has been sug- gested as an emblem of patriotism. Several historic .elm trees are men- tioned in our revolutionary annals, and from one of these the idea probably originated. , The cedar is an emblem of immor- tality, the symbol being suggested by its evergreen foliage; It‘ is said to have been so regarded bythe Jews a thousand years before the Christian era. . The White carnation is regarded in England as an emblem of disdain. This idea was probably suggested by the up- right habit of the flower, which nods and waves huughtily in the breeze. The daffodil is a. symbol of chivalry. It was once a favorite flower in France, and at one time a fashion prevailed of gentlemen wearing bunches of daffodils in their hats with their plumes. g’». - The people have long since learned that the most disagreeable medicines are not nec- essarily the best. In fact, as a. rule, they are not. WVhat is wanted is something mild and sure, such as Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. That is really pleasant to take when reduced with water and sweetened. Then it is acknowledged everywhere to be the most successful remedy in the world for bowel complaints. Ask any number of druggists for the best remedy they have for diarrhoea and fully nine out of ten will recommend Chamberlain’s. In speaking of this medicine, Mr. B. B. Bufl‘um of Friendsvillc, Susquehanna Co., Pa., says: “We have used it'in our family for pain in the stomach, colic and diarrhoea and found it to be 'a ,most efi‘ective remedy.” THE i E ‘VEIN G ; ZETE The South‘ Norwalk Office of the Gazette us at the store of new. man & Plnney.
