Was printed by Wynkyn do W'orde In
1494, the year In which ho returned to

the only edition tn which Caxton' No.

case being luted for the aldo note.
There Is only one other copy of this
precious book known to be In existence,
according to the Messrs. Blades & Duff,
the great authorities on Caxtonlana.
This copy Is owned by the earl of
Leicester. The earl Is so careful of the
book that he has never put It on exhi
bition, even refuBlng to send It to the
great Caxton exhibition of 1877. He has
tot allowed experta to examine It.
Among the greatest treasures of the
archbishop's library at Lambeth there
re four solitary leaves from this book
that are guarded aa among the most
T&luable relics of early printing. From
these Mr. Gordon Dull was obliged to
take his examples for his recently pub
llshed "Fac-Slmlles of Early English
rrlntlng."
For many years the No. 7 type waa a
Subject of dispute among the biblio
maniacs. Eventually the question was
settled to the satisfaction of all ex
ports by means of a copy of an In
dulgence preserved at the Dublin uni
versity conjointly with the Laniboth
loaves. Although not the most valu
able book In the world, Mr. May's
treasure may be considered practically
the rarest, there being only two copies
In existence. In spite of this fact, and
the great money value connected with
the copy found at Birkenhead, the

large number of beautiful Caxton

PARISIAN BICYCLE STOCKINGS
Colleca Colors and startling Designs--
Hrllllant aud Gaudy Effect.
. Kaleidoscopic effects in bicycle stock
ings are the order of the day, says
the New York World. The shops are
full of hose fearfully and. wonderfully
made and bearing on their vivid sur
faces the most exciting designs and
scenes.
The plain reds and blues and greens
which flashed along the boulevard but
a month ago are seen no more. They
have given place to bright crimson and
yellow affairs embroidered In contrast
ing shades and embellished with de
signs which range from the wearer's
monogram to exciting collisions on the
jrheel. Silk hose are, of course, the
most effective and, one need not add,
the most expensive. Five dollars Is a
mall price for a pair of the latest
Parisian Importations, Stripes and
Checks are among the more modest de
signs. Red, white and blue hose are
offered to patriotic young women and,
Of course, the college stocking is out
In large numbers. The Princeton col
ore, orange and black, are among the
most popular. The full beauty of these
hose is supposed to be obscured by
modest skirts and high boots, but many
of the knlckerbockered women riders
Who filled the Long island and Staten
Island roads last Sunday had appar
ently forgotten this. Young men, too,
are wearing some astonishing hose with
their bicycle suits. Brilliant colors and
Involved patterns are seen, though to
their everlasting credit be it said the
hose of male bicyclists are less con
spicuous than those of young women
Who accompany them. Young men
run largely to the college colors of
Jale, Harvard and Princeton.
An Apology.
A man who baa the reputation for
being very careless as to his toilet was
elected town clerk In one of the small
"towns in this state some time ago and
the local paper thought it would be a
good Joke to announce that
"Mr. Makeup will wash himself be
fore he assumes the office of town
Clerk."
On reading the notice Mr. Makeup
ras furious and demanded a retraction
which the paper accordingly made the
following day In this fashion:
"Mr. Makeup requests us to deny
that he will wash himself before he as
sumes the office of town clerk."
And still Mr. Makeup wai not
pleased. How bard It Is to satisfy some
people! Our Girls and Boys.

ODD METHOD O. PERFUMING.

Very curious and not without Its sug

inine fad. which started In I'arls, then
made Ita way across the channel to
London and within the past month has
begun to win popularity In some quar
ters In New York, says the New York
Journal. It Is the latest method of per
fuming and Is accomplished with the
aid of a hypodermic syringe demy
manipulated. The doctor, or whoever
la working the little Instrument that
until now has been entirely a medical
one and some I'arlitlans have already
learned to perfume In this way with
great skill forces In the point of the
tiny hollow needle so gently that It
pierces the skin and no more. Then.
with a further pressure, be Injects a few
drops of the pungent perfume. That
Is all that Is required. From that
moment the skin Is charged, as It were,
with the scent, and a faint, subtle.
Illusive odor seems to breathe itself
forth from the fair woman who has
yielded to this freak of fashion. The
story of Its Introduction Is at least a
curious one. A Paris physician, who
1 an experimenter and a chemist, bad
a woman friend a fashionable lady
who waa always In aearch of the unique
and the new. He met her one day on
the Bols. "I have a aensatlon for
you," be said. The lady arched her
eyebrows prettily. "And what la UT"
ha asked. "Come to my office to-morrow
morning." was all the doctor would
aay as he walked away. Complete suc
cess crowned the first experiment and
madame threw away thereupon her en
tire atock of sachets. Though a secret
of the boudoir, It waa too good one
to remain secret long, and It was
but a short time before other women
had found It out and were clamoring
to be allowed to try It. The clever
doctor had a new specialty at once, and
many were the women that be per
fumed by the hypodermic each day,
using the favorite scent of each. Not
very difficult, however, la the trick of
using the hypodermic needle, and be
fore many weeks bad passed women
found that their maids could be taught
to perform the little operation, or at a
pinch they could do It themselves. The
news spread rapidly; In that secret way
the myBterles of the toilet are com
municated to London, and made a hit
In the "Inner circle" of that town. Its
spread to New York has been Blower
and fewer have taken It up for the pos
sible reason that more American wo
men have a horror of morphine and
connect the hypodermic syringe with
that drug.

A Great Matter Thief.
So long as Hind kept to tbo road his
life waa one long comedy. His wit and
address were inexhaustible and fortune
never found him at a loss. He would
avert suspicion with the tune of a
psalm, as when, habited aa a pious
shepherd, he broke a traveler's head
with his crook and deprived him of his
horse. An early adventure was to force
pot-valiant parson, who had drunk
cup too much at a wedding, Into a
rarely farcical situation. Hind, having
robbed two gentlemen's servants of a
round sum, went ambling along the
road until he encountered a parson.
Sir," said he, "I am closely pursued
by robbers. You, I dare swear, will
not stand by and see me plundered."
Before the parson could protest he
thrust a pistol Into his hand and bade
him fire It at the first comer, while he
rode off to raise the county. Meanwhile,
the rifled travelers came tip with the
parson, who, straightway mistaking
them for thieves, fired without effect,
and then riding forward flung his pis
tol In the face of the nearest. Thus the
parson of the pariah was dragged be
fore the magistrate, while Hind, before
his dupe could furnlen an explanation,
had placed many a mile between him
self anl his adversaries. Macmillan'g

Softly the light from the open fire
flickered and fell upon the man and
woman sitting before It, as the evening
drifted silently Into the night.
It was the gloaming time, when
there comes a hush upon the world and
voices are stilled to whispers lest the
day, as It sinks to sleep, may be dis
turbed.
They sat silent; thinking, thinking;
dreaming of the far-away hours when
love u3 young, and the flickering
light drew strange fantastic figures on
their faces.
At last the woman spoke, still gaz
ing into the firelight, and her voice
was soft and low as a strain of distant
music across a moonlit lake.
"Husband," she murmured, "how
sweet It all Is? How much poetry
there Is In an open fire."
He stroked his brow as If starting
from a dream.
"That's so," he responded, "but not
half as much as there Is In a stove.

things!

be bad a very desperate Oght with a
younger bull and since that time baa
been kept away from the rest of the
herd and confined in a pen In which
there was also a young bull, who ap
parently was entirely peaceful. On
Saturday the old fellow amused him
self by teasing the young bull and
poking at him as they walked around
the pen. The young bull did not like
this and began to show fight A dozen
times the beasts rushei at each other
and came together with shocks that
startled the other animals and brought
to the Inclosure alt of the kepeers, who
endeavored to separate them but with
out success. The fence around the In

though the boards kept together suffi
ciently to prevent the animals from ea

of them were so nearly exhausted that
they could hardly stand. Then the old

REFRIGERATING FLOWERS.
The Lily of the Va"ey Stands It, bot
Tollpa Do Not.
Quite a revolution In horticulture has
been In progress during the past de
cade, although, owing to the secret
manner in which the experiments lead
ing up to It have been conducted, Com
paratively few persons have been ware
of the new departure, says Chamber's
Journal. Every one knows that flow
ers, as well as fruits and vegetables, are
forced, so that those who are rich shall
have the use o? them before unaided
nature brings them to maturity. This
forcing business is an expensive one,
requiring constant attention and skilled
labor. Many attempts, therefore, have
been made to get at the golden eggs
by cheaper means, and as a result of
many trials the opposite process to
forcing has been adopted with success.
The system consists in retarding the
flowering of the plant by refrigeration,
and Is, of course, only applicable to
those which are hardy in this country,
by which we mean those which will
stand several degrees of frost. The lily
or the valley Is one of them, and It Is
much In request for puporses of decora'
tlon. Under the old forcing conditions
only about 60 per cent of the buds treat
ed could be Induced to flower, but by
the freezing method an average of 95
per cent can be secured from the end
of summer up to Christmas.
It will be noted that the process can'
not be applied to evergreens of any
kind, and It would certainly be death to
camellias, and probably to hyacinths
and tulips. It Is said that near Berlin
three growers alone have nearly 300
acres of lily of the valley, under culti
vation, and that they have adopted the
refrigerating method with great suc
cess. It has been long ago proved that
the plant can be cultivated in England
with equal success and we trust that
the new method will soon be tried on an
extensive scale In this country.
