CHOICE MISCELLANY The 9rh Cor Speed. Betwccu the sulky with which Flora Temple astonished the world and that of tho present year there is as much difference as between the bone shaking velocipede of forty years ago and the modem bicycle evolved from it. Various experiments have been tried. The horse waa formerly in front of the axle. Then came the plan of arching the frame, so that bis bocks in action would be under the driver's sent. The bike wheels were a distinct advance, I lint the high sent still remained until ; experiments -with wind shields showed j to what extent atmospheric- pressure j was a factor In making or man-ins records, and since the new century set in there has been a steady gain In con struction. Not more than fifteen years n.so j sulky seats were as much as fifty j Inches from the ground, while the lat est models are less than thirty and range In weight from twenty-eight to thirty-five pounds. Shafts have been lengthened and j seats lowered until the driver can no longer look over the back of his horse, but to either side, to watch the course. While this Increases the danger, it re duces the pull against the wind and Is expected to be a point in favor of tho new records to be striven- for this year. Boston Transcript A Story of tho Se. Anchored amid the soft breezes of Ceylon lay the East India fleet. The weather was faint and sultry, and scarcely any oue stirred on board. Suddenly a forecastle boy sang out in clear treble his childhood's hymn, "I think when I read that sweet story of old!" Iiefore the second verse was reached all the ship's company was joining In In pleasant harmony. Above the bulwarks of the other ships the men were seen congregating lu tho at titude of Intense listeners. After the Inst line of the hymn had been sung there was silence for a brief space, and then the hills caught up and sounded back the echo, "And crowd to his arms and be blest." Ship after ship followed with old familiar hymns, one after the other; all but the admiral's ship ttmt was silent. Would the flagship follow suit be fore the sun sank Into the waters, and what would be its choice? every one wondered. Then suddenly there was a mighty burst of many Toices, as If trained In a cathedral choir, and the warm air vibrated with the grand old "Te Beum." "We praise thee, O God; we acknowledge thee to be the Lord." London Tit-Bits. New York's Horse Cars. There are still fourteen horse car lines in operation namely, the west Fide belt line, east side belt line, Cham bers street crosstown, Chambers and Grand streets crosstown, Bleecker Ftreet, Chambers street and Avenue C, Desbrospes street and Sixth avenue. Grand and Desbrosses streets, Seven teenth and Eighteenth streets cross town, Twenty-eighth and Twenty ninth streets crosstown, Avenue B Hue, Canal and Grand streets ferry line, Cne nundred and Tenth street end St. Nicholas avenue and the West Eighty-sixth street line. The last named Is the shortest, extending from Amsterdam avenue to Riverside drive. Although the line's one ar runs only six blocks when it makes a round trip, schedule time is maintained. The Buttercup Defended. Editorials and news Items warning flower pickers against the buttercups on account of risk of disease from its perfume have appeared in the newspa pers of different parts of the country. An inquiry among Boston physiciaus gives reason to believe little ground ex ists for this alarm. It would not be marvelous, however, If a few persons had been affected by such a thing, so often is one man's meat the next man'8 poison. Cheese and strawberries, for example, and even potatoes, affect un favorably an occasional individual. The human animal is so curiously con structed that an instance is recorded where the mention of an angle of forty-five degrees was sufficient to make the subject faint Boston Transcr'pt. Corpcraiion of Blind Men. A business corporation has been suc cessfully established In Vienna by men who are totally blind. The company manufactures brashes and baskets, and all its employees are blind. In the eight months of Its existence It has filed orders aggregating 23,000 kro nen, making a fair profit, and has enough ordera on band to justify the enlargement of its workshops. Six teen of the employees are skilled work men, and the company wishes it known that their wares are sold on their "actual merit," that they are put upon tho market "in fair competition with the product of other concerns" jmd that the blind people want "busi ness, not charity."
