CHEAPER WHEELS.
Bicycles are cheaper this. year. than
ever before, but still the bottom figure
ayo than last year people hesitated _be-
fore boying a cheap wheel, or one of a
model that had not received the test of
several seasons; and with reason.
Those who bought a low-priced wheel
for ecouomy often had to trundle it
home as the result of a breakdown, or
spend nearly the ~machineTs price in
keeping 1t repaird.
Wheelmen say that their experience
with cheap wheels this year has been
different. ~They believe that the very
tact of old bicycle makers having made
so great a reduction in the price of
creased facilities for manufacturing, is
proof that there 1s a chance for a. still
greater drop in price.
A few years ago one invested in a
bicycle as he would in a horse or a
buggy. He had no intention of selling
of trading itTat the end of six months
A bicycle of any sort was a luxury, and
its rider became more attached to it
each year. Wheels were but slightly
modified from year to year, and to ride
cles were said to grow better With age. ~
Now, it may be said, a wheel must be
built for the occasion. ~Mine is the
cyclists to-day.
manufacturers young in the wheel-mak-
ing business. Cyelists feel that while a
wheel may not have great endurance,T
it will suffice for a season or two, when
they want a new: one ME KW AY.
It has been rumored ~that a. consign:
ment cf bicycles is likely | soonT to arrive
here from Japan, and that they will),
sell at a surprisingly low-figure.. What-
ever may be the truth of-this ~report, it
is generally believed that bicycles should
be cheaper than they now are, and that
bright prospects await the concern | 00
which will furnish a rich manTs wheel

Just at This Time oT Year.
New York is standing aghast over
the disappearance of the wealth of
its millionaires. The Vanderbilts who
have suffered from inflationist reports
that they are worth $200,000,000 or
$300,000,000-are hardly able to scrape
up $8,000,000 to put.on the tax. lists.
The Goulds some time ago felt so
poor that they retired toagricultural, life
in New Jersey to economize on tax.

@ Century.
For. more than 100 years, it) wasT said, |
a fatal spell Hung over the Goldsmids,
Toward the close of the Sth cen-
tury there died in London the Rabbi
de Falk, who enjoyed a high reputation
as aceer, Ie left to Agron Goldsmid, a
great-er vat-grandfather of the late.
member for St. Pancras, a sealed packet,
with injunctions that it-was to be care-
fully preserved, but never opened. The.
old Dutch merchant who founded the.
branch of the Goldsmid family in this.
country was warned that as long as.
his order was obeyed, so long would
the Goldsmids flourish like a young
bay tree. If it were disregarded, ill-
fortune would for all time dog the foot-
steps of the race. Aaron Goldsmid left
the packet inviolate for some years.
One day, curiosity becoming ungovern-
able, he opened it. When his servant
came to call him he was found dead.
Aaron Goldsmid left a large portion of
his fortune to two sons, Ucoi- min and
Abraham. These went int usiness
on the London stock exchay ge, nad Vast-
ly increaseT) their patrimony. Benja-.
min founded a reval colloge end per-
torined any de! sof Pcs hnown gener-
osity. Ie Vived long, bet the curse of
| the cabal'st overicok him, | normous-
ly rich, the cohision that he would die
a pauper fastened upon him, and to
avoid such conclusion of the matter,
he, on April 5, 1808, being in his 55th
year, died by his own hand. Two years
later his brother Abraham, being con-
cerned in a ministerial loan of £ 14,000,-
000, lost his nerve, blundered and
bungled, sank intoacondition of helpless
despondency, and on September 28,
1810, a day on which a sum of £500,000
was due from him, he was found dead
in his room,
The fortunes of the family were re-
stored by Isaac Goldsmid. nephew of
the hapless brothers and :randson of
the founder of the English house. Like
all. the Goldsmids, Isaac was.a.man of
generous nature...and... philanthropic
tendencies. With him it seemed that
the curse of the cabalist had run its
course. It is true that before he died
he lapsed into a state of childishness.,
But he had at the time passed the limit
of age of fourscore years,, after which
{as one of the kings of his race wrote
centuries back, manTs days are but
labor and sorrow. Isaac Goldsmid was
succeeded in his fortune and his baron-
etcy by his son Francis, on whom the
curse of the cabalist seemed to fall when
he was fatally mangled between the
engines and the rails at Watertoo sta-
tion."H. W. Lacy, in oFrom Behind the
SpeakerTs Chair.�
WOULD NOT CUT HIS HAIR.
Marshal Caarobert Refused te Obey the
Army Regulations,
It was a singular fact that the late |
Marshal Conrobert, the last of the |.
French marshals, offered in himself aj
constant example of the violations of
the regulations of the army in which he
was so conspicuous an officer. Through-
out almost: the whole of his military
service Canrobert wore long hair flow-
ing down his shoulders, and this hair
was a sort of oriflamme. to the,soldiers, |
But ever since the year 1833 the French
army regulations have positively re-
quired that every officer and soldier
shall wear closely cut. hair, owithout } ¢f
any tufts, curls or ringlets whatsoever,�
and severe penalties are provided for
persistence in letting the hair grow
{ long.
Canrobert had a profuse mass of hair
which he was very proud of. It was
cropped to his great grief when he went
into the military school of St. Cry in.
1§26, but when, as a young officer, he
went into the Algerian war in 1835 he
profited by the relaxation of many reg-
ulations there to let his hair grow down
his shoulders again. Several years later,
also, in Algeria Col. Canrobert, bare-
headed, led a heroic charge at Zaatcha |
and his long floating hair, in the thick
of the combat, served as a rallying sign
to.the zonayes as | they swarmed through
the breach. After this war CantobertTs
head of hair had already. become so. fa-
mous that no superior ventured to com-
mand. him to cut it off, though Gen.
Pelissier, who hated him, ence called.
him oprofessor� in a cafe in Paris, and
by way of excuse affected to have mis-
atken him for a doctor of philosophy on
account of his hair.
The emperor Napoleon III. did once
venture to remonstrate with Canrobert
for wearing long hair, The marshalTs
response was very oFrenchy.�
oSire,� he said, omy hair belongs to.
1�
He did not wit it off. It floated all |
through the French and German war,
| becoming legendary. among the soldiers.
. Long since it became snow. white and
| fell upon the old marshal's shoulders:

Father PatTs Hospitality.
As to Father Pat's hospitality, it may
be rude and rough, but there is no
mistaking its warm and generous
whole-heartedness. The dinner in a
country parish invariably consists of a
roast turkey, a boiled leg of mutton
with turnips, boiled bacon with cab-
bage, and potatoes served in their jack-
cts. Claret is the wine principally
drunk. It is only on very important oc-
pearnce, but there is always a plentiful
supply of the best Irish whisky, and, if
made in the district, of opotheen.�
Father Pat has, it must be admitted, a
liking for whisky punch after dinner,
in judicious moderation, of course, and
his only other dissipation, is a smoke
"always a clay pipe, never a cigarette
or acigar. . When a~~suspended� or dis-
frocked priest i is met with in Ireland"
Land that very rarely happens"-his mis-
fortune is usually to be tracedT to
drunkenness. Theére is never a lady in
the case.--Contemporary Review.
