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 ‘machine’s 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 it’at 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,’ 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 | soon’ to arrive here from Japan, and that they will), sell at a surprisingly low-figure..

Just at This Time o’ 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. All the rest cf the circle erroneously reported to be gilded, from Chauncy Depew down——or up—have been betore the tax commissioners swearing that their possesions have been greatly over- rated, und that. they “are only. worth various sums, alarmingly modest — in comparison to. the general estimates.

For. more than 100 years, it) was’ 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 increase’) 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, man’s 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 “From Behind the Speaker’s 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, “without } ¢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 Cantobert’s 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 “professor” 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 marshal’s response was very “Frenchy.” “Sire,” he said, “my hair belongs to. 1” He did not wit it off.

Father Pat’s 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 “potheen.” 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. .
