'. The Mahogany Tree, ,
Itwill undoubtedly be news to many

ariigua are'controlled in Boston. The
cutting and shipping of the immense
exports from‘that country is a great
enterprise in itself, 'to say nothing of
bringing it here and manufacturing it

any furniture is made vary in age and

- twenty-five to thirty years, and some
of them_ are even seventy-five years
old. They. average twenty-five inches
or more in diameter, and run as large
as forty inches, and even more. For
every mahogany tree that is cut two
others are planted, and thus the for-

‘—‘ Fraud Detected by ilse of X-Rays.
The "X-raynipped in the'bud some
time ago a clever scheme to defraud
the City and Suburban Railway Com-
pany of Baltimore. The man who at-
tempted to perpetrate the trick repre
sented that he had had one of his
arms broken by a car ofthe company.
and, through an attorney, he demand-
ed-$3,500 damages. His arm was tied
up from the wrist to the elbow, and
he pretendedto be in great pain.
Rather than go to the expense'of a
lawsuit, the railway company offered
to com-promise the claim by the pay
Lment of $100, which was refused. The
_ company then thought' of the X—ray,
,and, believing the claimant to be a
fraud, they arranged to have a pic
ture taken of the bonesof the man's
arm. The photograph showed that
the bones were intact, and that they
had never been fractured.
When the bandages were removed
from the arm the skin was found
'burned and discolored, and the physi
cians who examined it said that it had
been burned with acid.—~Baltim0rt

The Senate pages are appointed by
the serg‘eant-at-arms, through senator-
ial influence. They are not selected
according to any geographical appor-
tionment. According to the rules of
the chamber these boys can only serve
in their ofiicial capacities between the
youthful ages of twelve and sixteen.-
The first duty, according to the rou-
tine, is the distribution of calendars,
bills and other legislative decuments
amen-g the senatorial desks, and the
placing of the new Congressional Re-
cord upon each senator’s file. One page
is detailed to examine all pens left on
the outside of desks and to renew them
with clean points. Another must see
that every inkwell is brim full. Oth-
ers must straighten out the sets of
laws furnished each member and see
that everything is in order. It is
strictly against the rules to open a
desk, however. BetWeen the duties
the whole force is required to keep an
eye on the cloak rooms and other ad.
juncts of the chamber closed to the
visiting public.
From 10 to 10:30 is recess. In this
half hour the little fellows get exer-
cise outside, sometimes in a game of
ball, but more often in afoot race with
the Capitol police, who are opposed to
ball games. By the time the morning
recess has’ come to an end many sena-
tors have arrived at their desks, and
these make plenty of business for the
pages. When the chaplain mounts the
rostrum to deliver the opening, priyer
each page takes a place before one of
the frontdesks, faces the divine and
stands with bowed head until the sol-
emn occasion is over. Then the work
begins in earnest. The corps of pages
is divided into two sections. one. for
the republican and the other for the
democratic side.
After the Senate has adjourned all
desks must be cleared off. All docu-
ments to be saved .must be placed out
of the reach of janitOrs. A few pages
are retained as long as any senators
remain to work. These are usually
lads who are “kept in” for some mis-
chief. Besides those on the floor of the
chamber the Senate employs a tele-
phone page and ‘four mounted “riding
pages.” The mounted pages deliver
messages to officials in the various de-
partments or go on errands to sena-
tors’ homes.

Indian Medicine Men.
Major A. E. Woodson. agent of the
‘ Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians of Ok-
lahoma, says that the reign of the
medicine men is one of the greatest
outrages of the present day, and as a
direct result of theirpractice one-third
of the children born of Indian parents
die every year. .
Two of Black Coyote's children were
taken sick, and, instead of taking
them to the Government hospital, he
sent for the medicine man, who blew
a green powder into the lungs, ears
and the nostrils of one of the little pa-
tients._ The medicine failing, the medi‘
cine man made an incision with his
knife under the tongue of the child,
with the result that death soon fol-
lowed. When the green powder failed
to restore the child to health the medi-
cine man declared that there was a
ghost under the child’s tongue, and to
kill the ghost he made the incision.
The medicine man then adopted he.
roic measures in order to save the oth-
er child. He took it into a tent, strip-
ped it naked, and laid it on a cot. He
then heated a big pile of rock in the
tent, and when they were hot he threw
water on them, filling the tent with
steam and causing the child to sweat
copiously. When the child was cov-
ered wit-11 perspiration he took it out in
the cold air and sent it home, without
having taken any precaution to keep
it from getting cold. Next morning
the child was dead. This is only one
of the hundreds of such outrages
against. the health and life of innocent
people. The big medicine man of the

THE cwnuzmo WHEEL.
Facts of-In-terent to Riders of the Silent
' Steed.
It is the concurrent testimony of the
daily news reports that whenever two
vehicles come into collision, or two op-
posing umbrellas Collide, there is a cer-
tain amount of friction engendered,
and even to lawsuits. But how differ-
ent is the result when bicycle collides
‘ with bicycle! Instead of breaking out
into objurgation and hatred, each one
became deeply interested in the- other
and wanted to know the make of his
'Wheel and its capacity to resistance in
collision. , The minor matter of per-
sonal damage was then settled at the
nearest drug store, a libation to the
new acquaintanceship was poured out
in those soft drinks which the wheel
has done so much to popularize, mu-
tual inquries were made as to their re-
spective clubs and the condition of
various suburban roads, and they who
had met as strangers parted as friends
becauseeach one was satisfied that his
wheel was the better. This is the
striking illustration of the civilizing
BY THE WAY.
and humanizing influence of the bi-
cycle, but his something which to all
wheelmen is mere commonplace. P0-
liteness and good nature are merely
two in a long catalogue of benefits. Its
cheerful influences know no limit to
their range. It has multiplied court-
while it has encouraged matrimony it
has diminished divorces. The melan-
choly wheelman is wholly unknown,
and it is positively asserted that no
wheelman has ever committed suicide
voluntarily. When one reflects that
the bicycle is, so to speak, still an in-
fant industry, the mind is lost in con;
jecture as to the future of its influence
on the human race.
Once every two months should be
enough to take a tolerably good wheel
apart, and if half that is claimed for
the 1897 wheels is true, and you have
one of them, once a' year should be
sufficient. Many riders have a mania
for taking their machines apart and
that is wasted in keeping bicycles in
good order. Amateurs rarely do any
good by looking into the bearings, and
are as likely as not to do considerable
harm by getting grit into the cups or
failing to adjust the bearings so that
they shall be just snug enough when
they put the parts together. So much
depends on the adjustment of a wheel
being exactly right that it is always
wise to leave that matter to a thor-
oughly cempetent person. Pedal
mounting is becoming more and more
Common. It is a good thing to avoid.
It wrenches the wheel, and however
carefully and strongly it may be made,
, successive shocks of that kind are cer-
tain to make trouble later in the sea-
son. Curb mounts are the best for the
"wheel.
No amount of preaching or instruc:
tion will fully impress the novice with
the possibilities of side slip. Warn him
ever so faithfully to be careful not to
turn shaply on wet spots, and down he
will go with a slam at the first favor.
able opportunity. The one‘thlng to do
in slippery places is to ride in a pen
fectly straight line. Turn a matter of
two points in either direction and the
situation is lost. Not until the average
beginner has gone to earth once or
twice can he be convinced that this is
so. The feeling that prevails when the
machine, crablike, begins to edge off
sideways, is the most forlorn and help-
less of all cycling sensations, save that
experienced by the brakeless cyclist
when he realizes that his wheel is run-
ning away with him down hill. And
the more frantic the effort to recover
tact of the rider‘s person 'with the
ground when the sprawl follows.
A writer on hygiene states that the
intense thirst which attacks many
wheelmen is the result of breathing
through the lips, thus parching the
lips, mouth and throat, and advises
that the mouth be kept shut‘against in-
halations. He says: “When you can’t
make a hill without opening the mouth
’twere better to dismount than to con-
tinue the exertion. Even when dis‘
mounted and the breathing is labored,
the mouth should be kept closed. He
'also gdvises against the use of tobac-
co, stating, that chewing affects the cir-
culating system;' smoking, especially
cigarettes, affects the ‘ heart and
breathing, making one short winded.
Concluding, he says: “A cigarette
smoker will find that it requires more
exertion for him to ride a fine, well-
geared, well-oiled machine than it does
a nomcigarette smoker to push an old-
fashioned, rusty, out-of-date bicycle."

is perennial, it is subject to the change
of degree, like other human emotions.
Its maximum is experienced in the
spring, when Nature dons her widest
smile and picks up her skirts to dance
from very exuberance of spirit. The
enthusiasm of the wheel, when nor-
mal, is an extremely wholesome fac-
tor in maintaining the community’s
mental and physical balahce. When
first liberated from the bondage of

straint—a precautionary censorship of
a few weeks, as it were.
Evidences multiply that the $5,000
fee promised to the ex-president of the
United States Senate for reporting the
Fitzsimmons-Corbett prize fight was
grudgingly paid. For never did a
much-advertised “feature” fall so flat
as did Ingalls’ ridiculous “report” of
the bloody encounter in the New York
Journal. It disgusted not only reputa-
ble citizens who deplored the prostitu-
tion to base uses of talents once ad-
mired, but the prize fight enthusiasts
as well. They simply ignored the ex-
Senator’s pointlessnarrative, in spite
of the brave display of pica type and
blackheadlines, and turned over to

u
|' Professor Charles Howard Hinton,
',of Princeton University,‘ has given an
linformal exhibition of an invention
which seems calculated to revolution-
ize the whole sport of base ball. His
contrivance, it generally adopted,
would strip the game of its terrors,
|eliminate all the elements of uncer-
itainty, and bring it right down to a
mechanical basis. Briefly explained,
Prof. Hinton’s device is a gun. He
.proposes to place it in the pitcher’s
ibox. from which, with reasonable care
in aiming and firing, .balls may be de-
livcrcd straight over the plate with any
sort of curve, in-shoot, out-shootdrop,
or other fancy gyration which the evil
genius of the gunner may conceive.
The force and efficiency of such a ma-
chine are self-evident. Properly load-
ed with ginnt powder, dynamite or
compressed air, and aimed by a gun-
ner of ordinary exiierience in artillery
operations, it should be able to send a
baseball down to the man at the bat
with suflicient warmth and precision to
make him and his partisans weary in-
deed.
Aside'from the question of manners;
however, the tendency of the clergy
to assail and criticise each other is an
interesting waymark of the times. In
the Middle Ages, and, indeed, until
within a comparatively recent period,
the clerical order was looked upon as
a sacred caste, and its claim to the
possession of special poweryand in-
sight was conceded without’ question

HORSE SENSE. *1
Stories of Equine Intelligence by an 01)-
serving Country Doctor.
The country doctor is expected to go

pos’Sible. Through all this his horse
and himself are constant companions.
and share together the joys and the
sorrows of the road. It is not strange,
therefore, that an attachment of more
than ordinary intensity often springs
up between them, during which the
man notes the almost human qualities
of the horse. ,
W‘hile quite a boy I knew a horse of
such humor and intelligence that he
gave me a high opinion .of horses'in
general. Somehow the tricks of Old
Ball led me to consider horses as al-
most of kin to human . beings, and I
have always talked to them and treat-
ed them accordingly. Ba11,a fine ani-
mal belonging to my uncle, who lived
on a farm adjoining ours, was a sor-
rel hors of good size and especially
fine hea , with heavy neck and shoul-
ders. He had done a great deal_ of
farm work in his time, but was now
too old for anything but occasional
light service; so he usually had the
range of a pasture in front of the.
house that reached up to the yard
fence. There were cattle and sheep
in‘ the same pasture. '
Ball was noted for his cunning and
clever tricks, such as opening gates
and .doors, pulling down bars and the
like; but no one suspected him of
playing practical jokes on sheep when
one after another was found on the
wrong side of the fence. It was by his
antics and evident delight whenever
a sheep was found that he attracted
attention. A watch was instituted,
and soon, when Ball thought no one
saw him, he slyly picked up a sheep
by the wool with his teeth and
dropped it over the fence!- Then, go-
ing away some distance, be anxiously
waited, evidently watching for some
one-to come out of the house. As soon
as he saw that the sheep was discov-
ered he gave a snort and began to run
and kick up his heels with delight.
Sometimes. he would steal articles
and hide them, evidently just for the
fun of the thing. One day a heavy
maul, such as is used for splitting
rails and wood, was left so near the
fence that he could reach it. When
he supposed that no one saw him he
took the maul up in his teeth, carried
it to the further side of the field, care.
fully hid it behind the stump of a tree,
and then watched the result. This
time he had been seen carrying the
maul away, so the men made great
ado, pretending to be hunting for it,
looking in the fence corners and be-
hind stumps, while B 11 was running.
snorting and kicking up his heels with
unbounded delight. Whenever they
approached the maul he tried to at‘
tract their attention to some other
point—Youths Companion.

How the Lenses are Prepared for Near

One of the clever devices of theop—
tician is the glasses designed for both
near and far vision. Looking straight
ahead, they adjust the eyesight for ob-
jects at a distance; glancing down-
ward, they bring things to a quick fo‘
cus. Thus they do the work of two
pairs of Spectacles. ‘
These glasses are familiar enough,

Another way is to take a strong lens
