Oeneral Miles ii hieartiljr ia favor of the bioyolj for arm; aae, an.l dcolarea that it can be nse.t in nearly erery conntry and ia mo^t all ¦eosoaa of tbe year.     ^^______^__^_
The>ufe«t ol modern yairs of rail¬ way travel waa itt ISSI. The propor¬ tion retaroe.l aa killo.l hd.I injured from oansea beynad their own coatrol to the number carricil was: killed, 1 in 116,202,171; anJ iajnrod, 1 in 1,- 699,112.	
Napoleon UI. onco reraarkoJ lo 3Ir. Waahbnrne, the Amerioan MioiHtcr to Peril, that Spain conld not hold Cuba, and that the remit wonld be tbat sbe wonld BaeriUco all ber so'.dieta and spend all her money and then lose tbe island in the end.
Th« Melboarne (.iiutralia) Arjnn called attention some years ngo to tbo remarkable fact that three yonag moa destined to high distioction in dillor- ent spheres—Lord Salisbury, tho statesman, Hir John Millais, the paint¬ er, and I'homan Woolaer, tbe ecolp- tor—were Bimult«a..'oaiily in Viotoiia at the height of the gold fuvur in the early fifties.
This bioyole business is anHiimino; tremendous proportion'', an 1 eveu tho imagination gets tired thinUmg nbout it, observes tho New York Herald. Ten years ago it was a fad, a ornzo, nnd n few cranks, eo called, were seen on tlvi itrests try*ni{ to get thuir nee us broken. Now all the world rides tbo wheel; policemen ride thorn, EoMiers ride them, geatlentea aud la.lici of all igea take a spia. To aupply tlio de¬ mand there aro sometbing like fonr hnndred firms making money hnnd over fist, and it ia ostimnted that in the various plants more thanS25,000,- 000 is invested. Why, tbo wholo thing has oomo npon as like a tor- oado.    	
The charges made ia Italiau papers some time ago that llussia hnil aided King Meneiek in his campaign ogaiast Italy, and that Uussiaa arms and even Bniaian soldiers hnd been sent to Abyssinia, do uot seem so improbablo in the light of the report that tbe Czar bas ooDferred the Order of St. Oeorge npon tbe African ruler. In view of the course adopted by Austria, Oer¬ many and Oreat Britain, this act, sim¬ ple enough in its way and in otber oir- cnmstances, borders on open deflnnoe of the Triple Alliaoe. Tbo Czar seems also to have chosen purposely the most irritating way of decorating King Men¬ eiek, seleoting Baron Meyendorf, Conooillor ot the Bussian Embassy in Bome, the capital of the defeated Na¬ tion, to transmit tho insignia. Tho Ordor of St. Oeorge is a proud ouo to beer, -bot King Menoiek may regret the day Ihat he was singled out lu veoeive it.
China ii sending out a new deticb- ment ot her youth to be cduvutod in our schools, showing au enlightened and progressive spirit in no way di¬ minished by her recent military re¬ verses.

It was a carefully pieced (luilt, of u toiuewbttt iutrivato put- tern.

"Mr. nnd Mrs, AVilliam H. Hul' brook invite yon tube present al tbo tnnrriogc of tucir .Inuxbtcr Helen nnd James Barcloy Larkiii. Wtduesdoy evening, September Htb."
Tbeu followed tbu ad.lrcss of tbe bride's parents, in a city fuur hundred miles from Mrs. Dako's bome.
"Uilt I'm guiu'!" sbo snid, gl.'O- fully, ns she slipped tho invitiitiuu j back iuto its envelope. "I'.l go if it was twice as far. 1 oin't seen Jimmy for near on tu livo years, and bo al¬ ways teemed like my uwn boy to me 'cause I never bnd none o' my owu, nud I helped to bring him up niter hiu own mn .lied, when be wa'u't but jast in bis lirst littlo trousie.-.

Then Jimmy's nuiit, her fnce aglow with loving thoughts of seeing Jimmy oi^ain, folded up tb.. quilt enrelully in nu old short, nnd bud it anny in a lower drawer of Ibo bureau, saying;
"I s'puse lbe\'ll have luts ul nice presents, but I'll warrant yuu tbey w.iu't have ono tbat ropresent-s ns much luviu' labor ns tbat quilt.

A flioomaker snys that peopio wbo ruu ilown their heals uud those who havo weak ankles should always wear Inoed buuts, tho litter being particu¬ larly careful tu secure a snug flt ubuut tho instep. Weak ankles require stiff counters nnd low heels. If thero is any play iu tho instop tho anklo turns iu walking nnd tbo heel runs .l.iwn on uno side. If Iho shuo is lace.l tho wonror cau draw it together tightly and it supports tho ankle. I'ersons who run down tbeir heels should nl¬ ways hove star plates, which uru made of iron, or a half circle of iron nails fnsteuod on the edge of thoir heels. Tho steel nails ronlly wonr much better thnn the iron, but tbey nro.dangeroue, ns they ore apt tu cause oue to slip. Wearing shoes with run down heols mako tho feet tender aud ruins their shape.
