An entertaining now publication that has within tho last month or two niado its appearance in Chicago and which has found its way to Tun Couuiku's ex chango table, is Tim Chicago lUO, its name indicating its peculiar field.

Mr. Pcrsinger is a man of versatile ability and great resource, and his paper is in keeping with his reputation as a news paper man, TEE OF THE WOTJAKS. Once upon a time a haro was bound ing along over the slippery ice. Ho ran and bounded, until all at once, pulT! he foil and struck himself a haul blow. After ho had recovered hinibolf a bit, ho said to himself: "I wonder if this ice is vory Btrong?" And ho asked tho ico: "Say, ico, are jou very strong?" "Vory strong," Bald tho Ice. "If you are so strong how does tho sun molt jou? Tho huh is Btrongor than you, that's why ho niultt jou," said tho haro. Then ho turned to tho sun, and said: "Say, sun, aro you Btrong?" "Very Btrong," naid tho Bun. "If you are bo Btrong, why do you let tho oIou.Ib cover you? The clouds aro Htrongjr than you." Then ho turned to the cIoiuIb and asked: "Say, clouds, aro you Btrong?" "Very Btrong," replied tho clouds. "If you aro bo strong, why do you let tho mountains arrest you? Tho mountains aro stronger than you." Then ho turned to tho mountain, and said: "Say, mountain, aro you strong?" "Very strong," replied tho mountain. "Indeed," said the hare, "If jou are so strong, why do you let tho mole dig into you? The mole is stronger than you." Having spoken thus, ho turned to the mole, and asked: "Say, molo, aro you strong?" "Very strong," replied tho mole. "If joti aro so strong," replied tho hare, "why do you let tho cat eat you? Tho cat is stronger than you." Then he turned to tho cat, and asked: "Say, cat, are you strong?'' "Very strong," replied tho cat." Then the hare not being able to think of any thing which got tho upper hand of the cat, gave liiu verdict: "Tho cat is tho strongest of all!" Tales of tho Wotjaks, Xikolaj Ivanor, in Zoitschrift fur Verg leichende Iiitteraturgesehechte, Berlin. ON I NICE !' I cannot understand fiom what the nice Voting Man results. Sometimes I think ho growed. Sometimes I think he is the result of over education. Sometimes I think well, 1 wouldn't dare to tell you what I think, but Dar win's theory Iiiib a great deal to do witli it. I have heard him mumble over a bit of cake and a cup of tea, just as a well-trained monkey would over some thing that ho liked, and I have seen him imitate the girls in tho movements of his hands, just as I have seen a marmoset imitate a man. Really it makes one iiuito nervous about tho future. What will be the result of him a monkey or a man? Ho hasn't tho immorality of a monkey, but he has all of his cunning; ho hasn't tho brains of a man, hut lie is built like him in miniature. Really, one is forced to mourn tho dude when one meets the nice Young Man. He is vory modestjho thinks it isn't quite nice to read books that haven't nice words in them; con sequently Shakespeare, Congreve, Wioherly, Smollett and all the writers who followed after them are unknown to him. He doesn't think it is quite nico to refer to some unpleasant habits right out in upon words, consequently he likes tho Bible and the "Arabian Nights'' revised. Ho doesn't think it is quite nico to know much; vulgar people, who study and read books, and, worst of all, write them, do that sort of thing. Ho says ho remembers his mother say ing that a girl's name ought only to bo in tho newspapers three times in her life- -when she was born, when she was married and whon sho died. "And," he adds, if that is true of a girl, how much truer it is of a thoroughly nico Young Man?" Ho knows there aro men who discover countries, who, as ho says, fiddle up things and bring out queer mixtures, that they say are scientific discoveries; but, after all, these are not tho young mon one would wish to know. They are quite as likely to have dirty hands as not. and to be thoroughly unpleasant. It is a pity that tho nice Young Man isn't spotted at his birth, for then tho wiser doctor, recognizing him, could chloroform him. I wish tho mothers of the present day would look at tho uico Young Man from my standpoint. I think if ho came to see a girl of mine and 1 wero an able-bodied man 1 should either kick all of the sense he had out of him or else kick a little into him. To put it plainly, he is an effeminate fool, and fools are a thousand times more dangerous than knaves. I like a man who is young, who is enthusiastic, who iB good-looking and who is well-droesed. Every woman does, even if she is on the shady side of 00, but tho thing that is presented under the name of Uie nico Young Man isn't manly, isn't nice and is abnormal. The question is freiiuently asked, "Why is Ayer's Cherry Pectoral bo much more elfectivo than other cough renio- dies?" Tho answer is, simply because it iB the most skilful combination of anodynes and expectorants known to medical science. Canon City coal at the Whitelncast Coal and Limo Co.

White, a San llernardino, Cal boy, is an electrician and rides to ml from his work on a bicycle, often carrying material to bo used on a job. Several times while riding before tho wind ho noticed that he did not have to use his pedals, the bieezeriirulshing the motive power. His active brain at once sot to work to devise some method whereby he could make the wind do tho work while he simply steered the machine, lie was not long in search of an idea. Ho thought of a sail, having been raised in a country where ico yachting was one or the leading winter amusements. Securing a piece of bamboo about Ion feet long, he and E. Dougherty, an luti mate friend, set lo uoik and soon rigged a mast, a strong piece of sheeting being used as a sail. The only stumbling block in his path was how lo secure the sail firmly to the wheel. After several attempts he made a head block, in which t lit end of the mast was placed ami secured. This block can be lemoved ery easily by taking oil' the buns on two holts. When the sail is removed the block docs not interfere with the use of the ma chine in any manner, nor has it a dis pleasing look to the ejo. In rigging the sail the block head is made or Oregon pine, while the two side clamps ate of oak a half an inch thick. These are secuielj fastened to tho wheel by two lion bolts. Great eaio should be exorcised in placing this paiticular part of the attachment inposition. The head block must not be fastened to the handle bars or tubing, as it will interfeie witli tho guiding of tho bicycle. It must be bolted to the joint just below the elbow, as this allows the Tiee use of tho handle to direct the wIiooI'h course. To those who will trj the invention it may be explained that they should be very caieful not lo scenic tho boom to tho machine, but fasten a small pulley to tho spring under the seat and allow tho cord attached to the boom to run freely through it. as the balance can be kept much better in this manner. The wind seldom blows steadily, but comes in short gusts or squalls, and will unseat an experienced rider should he make tho boom fast to the wheel. Mr. White's sail is attached to a ten foot mast and an eight foot boom, and weighs six pounds anil nine ounces. Tho cost complete is about $10, if tho work is performed by the individual himself. Almost ainono can make a sail and place it on a wheel. With a few hours' practice a good wheelman can easily manipulate it and enjoy a ride without any fatigue whatever. People are wishing each other tho compliments of the season and exchang ing gifts. Did it ever occur to you to send an ailing friend a packageof Axer's Sarsaparilla?
