WOMAN'S NEW TYRANNY.
The Girl on m Bicycle Make Man More

There is a new terror in town, says
the Louisville Courier-Journal.
It goeth forth like a lion, seeking
whom it may run down.
It is more to be dreaded than a car of
Juggernaut, because it can speed
around the square while Juggernaut is
turning the corner.
It is more t rrible than an army with
banners; yea, than an army of nurses
with baby biiggies. "
It is what aeed to say? the woman
on a bicycle. .
Pedestrians have some slight protec
tion against tho man on a bicycle when
ha goes on a nimpagc. They can
sjcurry out into the gutter and kick
mud at him. They can scramble upon
the fence and hurl hard hunks of lan
guage at him. They can subsidize a '
teamster and sick a-eoal cart on him.
They can lug 'around bascball-bat-valking-canes
and knock him out on
the fly now and then. They can even
carry their guns at half cock and bring
him down on the wing, if quick enough
jm trigger. Kut the woman on a bicy
ele is another thing altogether. The
public has long since recognized the
fact that it is at the mercy of the wom
an on a pavement, especially if she
walk double or triple file, and more !
especially if she carry an umbrella.
Put her on a bicycle and she is simply
devastation on wheels. With faces set
as grimly as fate's, with eyes as unsee
ing as the sphinx's, with pedals as re
lentless the jaws which clamp her
tolu, she swoops down the street, and
when she docs let the beasts hunt
their holes, the fowls their roosts, and
men and children hurry ti the second
stories, if second stories lx; in reach.

Early in. August, 1831, the United
Mates 44-gun frigate Potomac, Capt.
John Downes, lay in New York har
bor tugging away at her anchor in a
half-restless, half-indolent mood, as if
anxious to get to sea, but was deterred
from making the necessary exertion
by the enervating heat of the sun.
President Jackson, writes Edgar Stan
ton Maclay in Harper's Magazine, had
recently appointed Martin Van Bnren
minister to England, and the frigate
was waiting to convey the future pres
ident of the United States to the
"Tight Little Island." Conscious of
the honor of having a distinguished
passenger (with political influence),
the younger officers of the ship spent
more time than usual before the mir
ror, endeavoring to give a martial
part to their hair. They even got out
their uniforms, as if they expected to
wear them every day in the week,
instead of only once ortwice in the
cruise, when some special ceremony re
quired it.
The scale of pay established at the
time of the war of 1813 allowed our
captains only one hundred dollars a
month, with which to maintain the
honor of the flag abroad, and incident
ally support a family. The lieutenants
got fifty dollars a month, and the mid
shipmen struggled along on consider
ably less, so that it was n'ot to be ex
pected that they could afford the lux
ury of a uniform everyday in the week.
In the cruise in which he captured the
Macedonian, Capt. Stephen Decatur is
described as "wearing an old 6trawhat
and a plain suit of clothes, which made
him look more like a larmer than, a
naval hero."
If the handsome young officers of the
Potomac could not make as noble a dis
play as they might have desired in the
matter of padding, epaulets and gold
lace, they at all events could devote
more than usual attention to their em
bryo beards. The regulations in force
compelled them to shave their faces
smooth at least once in so many days,
no ' matter how luxuriantly inclined
some of them might have been toward
whiskers. The officers who were espe
cially prone to run to hair found the
regulation a stumbling biock to their
pride, and no small amount of temper
was expended in consequence. But in
view of the fact that their distinguished
passenger "had a pull," which might
land them in a choice position some
day, the officers ' lathered and scraped
away at their chins with more good
grace than could have been expected.
Moreover, the hearts of these officers
warmed toward "Martin," because in
the war over Peggy O'Neal, "the pret
ty, witty, saucy, active tavern keeper's
daughter," whicli nearly wrecked
President Jackson's cabinet, he sided
with Peggy and Peggy was the widow
of a naval officer.
The same bustle and air of expect
ancy was noticeable among the sailors
of the Potomac. They were busily en
gaged in togging themselves out in
their best rig, polishing their neat
morocco pumps, and going through the
most approved and latest style of nau
tical prinking. Some of the real old
salts in the frigate, however, who af
fected to despise the "innovation of
uniforms," and whose sigh for the
good old days when mtn-o'-wars-men
nad their inalienable rights to dress
"their own exclusive persons in their
own exclusive tastes," were not so par
ticular in washing and pressing out
their, neat nankeen uniforms. They
were satisfied with greasing their long
hair, and then braiding it down their
backs, with just enough wax in the end
to make it curl up like a fish hook.
These were the men who had made
the American navy famous. They had
taken a hand in flogging the Parley
toiis in 1798-1801, and had downed the
yataghan-armed Turks in the fierce
hand to hand encounters off Tripoli,
and had exterminated hordes of pi
rates along the Spanish main. But
their greatest glory was in having
been through the "latye war," in which
the pride of the mistress of the ocean .
was taken down a peg or two. '
That the distresses of an Atlantic
voyage might be made as endurable as
possible for their passenger "with a
pull" and his "land-lubberly" retinue,
a supply of hideous-looking easy
chairs, such as never before had dese
crated the decks of the frigate,
and heathenish-looking trunks, pre
posterous bundles, and outlandish
packages, were piled around in just
the places where an out-and-out good
seaman would be most likely to crack
his shins against them. The stewards,
also, began to assume a pompous and
condescending air that was entirely
beyond their station, while the master-at-arms
and quartermasters were. busy
hoisting squealing pigs (tied in
bunches by their feet), coops filled
with cackling hens, and many other
delicacies that might tempt the weak
stomachs of the guests.
New Tanniug Process.
One of the most important recent ap
plications of chemistry has resulted in
great improvement Of the processes of
a long-established and widely extend
ed industry the tanning of leather.
The many beautiful exhibits of "mineral-tanned
leather" at the world's
fair attracted the attention of all in
terested in that industry and of many
others as well. The chemical princi
ple involved in this mineral tanning
lies in the conversion of the fiber of the
skin into an insoluble, impermeable
and non-putrescible compound by com
bining it -with chromic oxide. It is
well known that in the common leath
er the fiber is combined with tannic
acid. It may then be said that the new
process differs from the old by the sub
stitution of chromic oxide or tannic
acid. - - .'
Sugar Growing in Jamaica. t
Work on a Jamaica sugar plantation
commences at six in the morning and
lasts until dusk. The period of sugar
making extends from the beginning of
December till the middle of June, the
cane being planted so as to ripen in
succession during those months, for if
it all ripened at once it would be im
possible to find either the labor or the
machinery to deal with it. In an or
dinary plantation, say of seven hun
dred acres, the output will be about
ten tons of sugar per day, or forty-five
to fifty tons a week, but that is sugar
enough to sweeten two million five
hundred thousand cups of tea.
Kenneth Bazemore bad the good for
tune to receive a small bottle of Cham
berlain's Colic, Cholera, and Diarrhoea
Kemedy when three members of his
family were sick 'with dysentery. This
one small bottle cured them nil and he
had some left which he gave to Geo. W.
Baker, a prominent merchant of the
place, Lewis ton. N. C-, and it cured
him of the same complaint. When
troubled with dysentery, diarrhoea, colic
or cholera morbus, give this remedy a
trial and you will be more than pleased
with the result. The praise that natur

made it very popular. ; 25 and 50 cent

A Fanny Acne. ' V"
"I don't think I ever realized just
how' many different kinds of aches a
human being could have," said a young
father, '.until I became acquainted with
my boy. He's about seven now, and a
good healthy" boy, too, but a' list of
his aches and pains would fill a book.
His latest ache is the heel ache; he
told his mother the other day he had
the 'heel ache.' This was something
entirely new to both of us, and we
both thought it was rather funny;
though possibly it may not seem so to
older parents."
