The heat was amile, and the starters were Robertson and Drury and Proven- cher aud Eayes. The latter pair had tne pole and were leading when entering the back siretch on the fiua!l lap. Robertson ani Drury went after them, and the speed attained by both was terrific. At the corner they Were on even terms, aud what was 4 pretty race was in the twinkling of an eye turned into one of the most peculiar i accidents ever seen On & bicycle track, The wheels apparenily became uomanage-

&uie a. the turn, Owing to the awful speed, . & colli-ion occurred, and all four riders b and both wheels went over the five—foot fence -o quickly that it wes hard to real- ize what nad happened, Rob -rtson wes the only one who required a attention, the others receiving only slight “ injur.es. A stretcher was carried across : for Kwubertson and he was afierwards sent to tue Western hospital, and from there proceeced to his home. Drury also went home, but Provencher and Haves, after putiing in anew front wheel, started in the tinal, aud got second place, Robertson’s wheel was not injured, Drury, who occupied the rear seat on the : tandem steered by Robertson, said that the cause of itall was the lack of proper bankiug of the track. The accident itself he de cribes as follows:

* I saw the fence Goming towards me aud { felt we could not stop, but I really don't kuow what happened between that momért and when I found myself on the ; bencies at the other side of the fence. ”

; According to Robertson, who was on |

i the front of the tandem with Drury on the way when they reached the back

‘: ' stretch both were running close together,

: and at the 440 mark, about half way down the wheels ran alongside of each other. Robertson’s pedal caught Provencher’s wheei and ripped a spoke or two out of it The wheels broke away without any other

} incide.t and made for the turn,

; Both were now spurting and were going ataclip of abovt 1:54. Provencher was iusice, aod when at theturn saw that he

‘ was too close tothe edge of the track,

‘ and began to work out. Robertson was

in the centre, and both wheels came to- gether. A pedal on Provencher’s wheel

“ caugi:t Robertson’s front wheel. This of

‘ course, locked the wheel and prevented Robertson from steering around, and both wheels made tor the tence. The front wheels were lifted and ran this way and struck the fence at an angle; this, with

not pr

the momentum at which they traveling, shot men and wheels over the fence. Allwere thrown ina bunch about twenty feet on the other ride of the fence. The riders are satisfied that the affair was purely accidental. Robertson’s shoulder blade was splintered at the end, but he is not seriously injured and will soon be around all right. Drury was badly bruised but others escaped with scratches —Montreal Star.

To be idle is the hardest of ll tasks. Our grandmothers understood this and even in their leisure moments ywere never found with- out some little task in their hands, if it were only knitting, tat- ting or crochet- ing. There wasa reason for this that does not ap- pear upon the surface. Our

grandmothers were healthy wo- men, imbued with {a spirit of ambi- tion and activity that would not permit them to be idle.

If many modern women are much less active and more given to idleness than the stately dames of yore, it is because they enjoy a smaller measure of good health. A woman who suffers from weakness and

disease of the distinctly feminine organs, |

who is racked with vain, and tortured with headaches and nervousness, cannot be ac- tive and telpful. Idleness and invalidism are the naturai results of suffering of this description. The poor ipvalid woman is not at fault, save in hey iguarance of her own physical make-up or geglest of her womanly health,

Thousands of women are neglectful in this way because they shrink from the em- barrassing examinations and local treat- ment insisted upon by the majority of obscure physicians. Dr. R. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N, Y., has egyrenes a wonder- ful medicine that cures all diseases peculiar to women, in the privacy of the home, with- out the necessity of these embarrassing ordea]s. This great medicine is known as Dr. Picrce’s Fa¥orite Prescription. It acts directly on the delicate and important or- gans that hear the burdens of wifehood and motherhood. it makes thei strong, healthy and vigorous. t heals internal ulceration and inflammation and _ stops debilitating drains. It transforms weak, nervous invalids into healthy women.

BLACK ROCKS,

A Story of the Early Days of the Gon- nellsville Coal Regien.

A writer in Forest and Stream says that Elias Blank, one of the early set- tlers of what is now the great Conuells- ville coal region, an western Pennsylva- nia, was among the first Americans to burn soft coal. How the thing came about is thus described:

One night Mr. Blank was aroused by arapping at his door. Opening it, he admitted a famous Indian fighter, Lewis Whetzell, and a companion, Jonathan

Bates, commonly kuown as ‘‘Long “me,’’

* ‘Friend Lewis,’’ said Blank, ‘‘where

have thee and our friend been and

where bound?’’

‘‘T want to get out of here at once,’’ said Whetzell, ‘and Long Arms is of the same opinion. This country’s be- witched, and Long Arms and I are nearly scared to death,”’

‘‘Friend Lewis, thee must not tell such stories to me,’’ said old Elias. “Thee knows I am thy friend, and I have saved thee when a price was on thy head. I know thou art a man of courage, and friend Jonathan Gates, whem some call Long Arms, fears nothing on earth, and I’m fearful noth- ing anywhere else, and yet thou tellest me that he and thee are scared even al- most unto death. Shame on thee so to declare before thy friend, who loves ye both as he were thy father!’’

**No, no, Elias,’’ said Whetzell, drop- ping into the Quaker speech. ‘‘I tell thee no lie. Weare scared. Yesterday afternoon we were in hiding about a mile from Dunkard creek, and in the evening we built a fire under the bank very carefully, and we got some black rocks to prop up a little kettle and put them beside the fire rather than in it, and the black rocks took fire and burned fiercely, with a filthy smoke and a bright light, and Long Arms said the devil would come if we staid, and we grabbed our kettle and poured out the water and made our way here, leaving the black recks to burn.’’

Blias Blank was much interested. He did not tel] Whetzell what the black rocks were, but he found out exactly where the men had made their fire, and when they went away he gave them each a new Ezra Engle rifle, a knife and a tomahawk, with four pounds of powder and a supply of Jead,

Then he hunted up their camping ground, fourd the ‘‘black rocks’’ and opened a coal bank into one of the river hills, and this coal bank is still in ex- istence in a 12 foot vein of coal that is absolutely free from slate and burns like pitch.

Resting at Unyanyembe.

My march is nearly over. I have got back into well beaten tracks and am even occupying a house where near- ly every Englishman who has entered this region of Africa has lain and groaned over his fevers, his delays and the thousand and one troubles inciden- tal to African travel. Livingstone wait- ed here with patient resignation for months, ruminating no doubt now on the great lake, anon on the ‘‘great open sore of the world.’’ Stanley barricaded and loopholed its walls in the war with Mirambo. Here Cameron groaned over his fevers and: his delays, and before me rises the picture of Murphy, stout and burly, sinking with a grozn to the ground, and Dillon, blind and helpless, lying wearily on hia couch. In later times Captain Carter of elephant fame had to fiee from the house as from a house infected, and but a few days ago his Scotch assistant and two Belgians were on the point of shooting each other with their revolvers, and, last of all, to close this ‘strange, eventful his- tory,’’ here lies yours truly, resting from his long and lonely march and feeling as if his work was o’er.

Iam at the present moment a prey to that horrible scourge, prickly heat, making me feel as if needles were ooz- ing out of every pore of my corpus. Mosquitoes by the million buzz about my ears, but sing no pleasant love song to my maddening brain. Iam alsoa martyr to certain volcanic eruptions vulgarly known as boils, which prevent me from sitting, lying, walking or standing with any degree of comfort. Then the temperature is so high that at midday I have not got out of my pyjamas, while to get a breath of air I have continually to resort to the fan. — Biography of Joseph Thompson, Afri- can Explorer.

Which would you rather trust? An old, true friend of twenty years, or a stranger? You may have little health left. Will you risk it with : stranger? If you have a cough, are losing flesh, if weak and pale, if consump- tion stares you in the face, lean on Scott’s Emulsion. It has been a friend to thou- sands for more than twenty years. They trust it and you can trust it.
