A Young Man Who Patiently Instructs Them—How He Does It—The First Vault on the Safety and # Sudden Curve to | Disaster. ‘Do come with me this morning,” ex. claimed a slender young woman, as she excitedly greeted a friend on Wabash avenue yesterday morning. ‘‘I am go riding.” Wha The scribabie “Yes, I,” replied the siender one, with a dramatic wave of the arm, ‘even I.” ‘Please don’t say anything,” she add- ed quickly. ‘I know I’ve said all man- ner of awful things about women who , You ride the bicycle?” aphasis on the you was inde- she went on. “but it is not progressive. The gets on, and I am bound to progress if I have to mount a bicycle todo so. Be- sides, it’s quite the proper caper now. The very swellest girls are riding, and I im not going to be left out of all the road and nutting parties that will rage uvext month. They say it is hard to balance oneself at first, but if the other girls can keep on, I can. Do come Here we are now.” The two young women stopped for a | moment to inspect the shining wheels inthe big show window before disap- pearing down the basement stairway beneath. It was rather dark in the room they entered, the electric lights seeming dim after the brilliant sunshine cutside. ‘‘This is lovely, isn't it?’ said the beaming enthusiast as she viewed ihe podded walls and the mattress wrap ped posts down the centre of the room. “Just see; you can bump into every thing and never get hurt.” . But the floor.” suggested her more conservative companion; ‘I should imagine that that would be the most ikely to trouble me in case of a a 1.” ‘The young lady will not fall, miss,” ‘nterposed the dark-eyed instructor as 1¢ took a wide belt from the back of a ‘hair. ‘‘I will see to1t that tliere will no falls if the young lady will put his around her waist and then follow 4iy instructions closely.” The enthusiast donned the belt with - help of her friend, who tugged at 1¢ stiff leather strap to bring it snugly sbout the small waist. ‘Now the first thing I want to say,’ began the instructor as he slipped one iiud through the long loop stitched to he outside of the belt and held a bicycle vith the other, ‘is never to let go the aandle-bar.” “That will be easy enough, I am sure,” remarked his pupil, ‘but perhaps i could hold it better if my gloves were uff.” Then finger by finger the yellowish gloves are removed, the instructor mean- vbile patiently clasping both belt strap sud bieyele. The last little finger is un- overed and the gloves are finally tossed .o the friend. “Now Il am ready,” young woman. ‘‘Remecnber, please, never to let go the handle-bar,”” again admonishes the instructor. ‘Put your right foot on che pedal first, at the same time carry- ing your dress skirt over as far as you can. There, now you're all right. ’ The pupil vaults into the saddle and the wheels begin to revolve. “Where is the place for my other foot?” she shrieks, pawing the air wildly with the uusettled member, ‘its there all right. Pat your foot on the pedal as it comes up. ’ Whizz! bump! crash! Deathly silence for a second. “Are you hurt, dear?” anxiously in- quires the alarmed witness of the en- counter between post and wheel. “I think not,” dubiously replies a faint voice from the confused heap on the floor. The disentanglement of post, wheel, pupil and instructor begins. The last does not look particularly amiable as he helps the future bicycier to her feet and brushes the light dust from his coat. ‘How stupid of me,” apologized the pupil, but, growing technical, ‘‘where was that other pedal? Are you sure it is on?’ examining the recumbent wheel. ‘Yes, it is here all right,” shortly re- plies the young man. ‘‘Now please do as I tell you. Hold on tothe handle- bar no matter what happens.” ‘‘Why, of course I can do that if the pedal will only act properly. It always goes down at the wrong time and comes up when I am not looking for it.” “Don't miad the pedal, I say, hang on to the handle bar.” This admonition is given very em- phatically. The bicycle is placed up. right, the young man slips his hand through the strap at the slender waist and the young woman mounts again. This time there is too much skirt flying to the left, for which compensation is found ina three inch view of tan silk stocking on the opposite side. “It is running away with me,” cries the rider as the machine, under a mild push from the instructor, takes on in- creased speed. “No it isn't, either; you are going all right.” A sudden curve to the right, the right hand deserts the bar and clutches blind- ly for support. Over goes the machine and the young woman lands on her left foot. Then she tactfully busies herself adjusting her tilting hat and crumpled gown, while the dark-eyed instructor is pulling into position the red silk tie that floats limply over his left shoulder. He says strange words in alow voice which the charming pupil blandly ig- nores. “How queerly that front wheel twists,” is the first observation that vreaks the painful quiet. “If it wasn't announces the just Att DISEASES of the blood are cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla, which by its vitalizing, enriching, and alterative effects makes only PURE BLOOD.

THE LATE CHARLES GOTNOD. THE CREAT FRENCH COMPOSER WI! SACRED MUSIC WAS BREATHED FORTH THE PRAY- ER OF A GENERATION, With the beautiful ‘Ave Maria’ in one’s mind, one must almost feel a reverence for its creator. Gounod sang out the prayer that was in his very soul, and all the world has felt its influence. Ilis words of praise for a tonic that strengthened and sus- tained him in his declining years is one of the most valued tributes to the great ‘Vin Mariani.’ He says: ‘Honor to “Vin Mariani,” that admir- able wipe which so often has restored my strength.’ No other tonic so quickly restores strength and energy when weakened by brain exhaustion, nervous depression, fatigue, dyspep- sia or sleeplessness, and it hastens convalescence after confinements and fevers. You should send a stamp and receive a little album, free, con- taining the photos of the many great people who are recommendng ‘Vin ‘Mariani.’ Address Lawrence A.

Though perfectly livid, he began howling a vile song and kept it up till the guillotine was reached. He endeay ored to address the enormous crowds as- sembled, but the assistant executioners forced him on the bascule. The howls and imprecations of the anarchist con tinued with such fury that Deibler fora few moments became unnerved, but he speedily recovered himself. He releas ed the knife, and as it whizzed down the groove the crowd heard the anarchist shout: ‘‘Vivela repu——” The official standing by the guillotine affirmed tiat as the head dropped into the basket the iips distinctly emitted the concluding syllable “‘blique.” The assertion gave rise to a good deal of controversy among the French savants, bi it was generally conceded that the guillotine severs the head with such terrific suddenness that it was possible the sound which the fel low was uttering was emitted after the knife had actually performed its deadly work.

Richard Vaux, the venerable ex con- gressman from Pennsylvania, has never been to a theatre in his life to see a the atrical performance, says a Philadel phia Times. An interesting incident is given of his boyhool days over three score years ago. His father. a hichly respected aud prominen } sided on Arch street, and | ve t was best for his children to be tr } within the rules of the good old Q ! habits. At that period Ned } was the brilliant young American tragedian and had captivated all the boys of Philadelphia in his character of the Roman Gladiator and big Indian Metamora. Young Vaux naturally de sired to see the great actor play, but shrank from going without his father's consent, so one day he ventured to ask his father fo: fifty cents to get a ticket The old gen leman kindly replied in Quaker accent: ‘Richard, I don’t be grudgethe money, but thee knows I don’t approve of playhouses, and wish thee t-, promise me not to go toa theatre without my permission.” The promise was given and his father died suddenly soon after without giving the per mission. Richard Vaux has conscien- ticusly refrained from going the th satre ever since. America’ s First Saving Rank. The first savings bank in America was the Philadelphia Savings Fund Society, organized in 1816. It is still in exist- ence. Later, in 1816, a savings bank was founded in Boston and in 1819 one was started in New York. A savings bank isa bank in which savings are re- ceived—small amounts, waich the bank will not pay out except on presentation of the bank book. A national bank is one which, besides its ordinary powers, rights and duties asa bank, has the right toissue bank notes. National banks were authorized by various acts of con gress in 1863, 1864 and 1883. The plan of the government was to get the b:.nks to buy government bonds, and to d» so it gave them the right to issue notes to the amount of 90 per cent of those they had bought.
