The Pious Robin. Here is a story of an orthodex robin: Some time ago I attended morning ser- vice in Ely Cathedral, where, during the prayers, a robin kept flitting about the building, joining occasionally in the servic? with a modest chirrup. When the clerzyman ascended the pulpit and began to speak the robin deliberately ‘perched hims lf on one of the pinna- cles ot the chancel screen, quite close to the orator, and the louder the pastor preached the louder did the robin sing, much tu the amusement of the congre— gation. I have no recollection of what the sermon was about, but the robin’s isinging made a deep impression upon |me.—London Daily Telegraph. science nena AION NEALE IS OSE OE, A Bethel Items. BeTueL, N.

Under its present management it has been a power for Southern advancement, and the Manufac— turers’ Record has regarded its probable sale as 4 menace to the prosperity of this section, even though not so intended. In the second place, the purchase of the _ Seaboard would have been re- garded by the South as the gob- - bling up of the last independent : Tine north of Atlanta, ana this would have given the politicians of the populistic persuasion a new -fighting-ground against railroads.

It never gaye a cent to North Carolina schools except to the Agricultural and Mechanical colleges. It is a| deception and a fraud to put the flag there. It is the State that gives you education.” Speaking ot the negro he said: “I never could understand why the negro pcpulation remains so compactin the South instead of becoming scattered all over the union. The northern men freed the negro. Why is it the negro does not go north to be with his friends, instead of staying in the south among his enemies?” As to suffrage, Dr. Curry said: “IT don’t believe a man who can- nut read his ballot oaght to be allowed to put it in the box.” (Applause among the negro stu- SAM.

It says: “Do bicycles hurt books?’ was the momncutous question recently put by the New York Times to a number of booksellers in New York city, and the weight of opinion seemed to be in the affirmative. Not only the book trade, but all other trades fhat have been in- terviewed on the subject claim tosuffer from the bicyeling epidemic. much of this wailing is, perhaps, ex- aggerated, it is not altogether based on seem unreasonable to assume, confronted with the report that nearly city alone, and that nearly 200,000 per- sons in the same locality are already addicted to ‘wheeling, that the ‘wheel’ does affect retail trades in gener:l, and noticeably the book trade, which depends upon sedentaty rather than perambulatory habits, “However, there seems to be some hope left. One of the booksellers in- terviewed, himself an enthusiastie wheelman, is of the opinion that the present effect. of bicycling on the book trade must be only. temporary. His theory is that the increase of wheeling means at the same time an increase of vigor and good health among the pPo- ple. Once the first ard present phase of wheeling is over, this renewed vigor will exhibit itself in a practical manner, as the people once more return to their libraries and books in better health and better prepared to enjoy them. Like all fads, bicycling will reach a climax and then the reaction will set in. How nearly that climax has been. reached it would be rash to say; but the indica- tions are that it is not yet in sight. The manufacturers of bicycles have not yet touched bottom, so far as prices are concerned, and until they do, there will still be millions to pass throurh the craze which for the time being is de- moralizing the equilibrium of trade. “We note in this connection the pro- posal of a bookseller that the book trade add bicycles and their concomitants to its stock. Dry goods stores, the depart- ment stores generally, says our friend, besides a number of misecllancous stores—among the latter are mentioned imagination.

GRAY CORDUROY GOWN. May Be Made Without Trimmings or Combined with Persian Lamb. A very becoming gown and a very practical one is of mouse color or stecl- gray corduroy of good quality, much in vogue at the moment. Nothing could be more fit than a jacket bodice with a rippling basquine. A smart touch ‘would be to line the latter with white ‘satin, though black or the same shade of gray would do quite well. As for the trimming, nothing can compare to a bordering of black Persian lamb. The bodice will need a narrow blouse of gray, or black, or white plaifed chiffon, with bretelles of black satin ribbon, finished o{f on the shoulders in double tabs, borcered with lamb. A bishop or ‘pigot sleeve, with black satin cuffs, ‘rarrow kands or gauntlets with fur ‘bordering. To girdic the waist a black ‘satin sash, with long ends tied in the back, or a black satir belt, with smart bow on the left side faced with white ‘satin, of do without the bow, if a hand- ‘some gold buckle can be substituted for ibelt. The neck of the bodice may be finished by a corduroy flaring collar, turned over, or a moderately high one, bordered with Persian lamb, ora simple ;black setin ribbon passed round the neck twice and then tied in a pretty bow. A Iece ruff or flat turned-down band should be adjusted afterward to break the harsh line of the ribbon next the throat. For street wear a Persian lamb jacket or cape, with hieh collar and muif, and a toque, with either the crown of lamb or a waved edge, in com- bination with black or gray velvet. Panache of black feathers and cache- peigne of carnations or violets.—Chi- cago Tribune.
