An ingenious New York bicyclist ha
got around the Raines Sunday-closing
law. He has converted the center-post
of his wheel into a storage tank, with a
mall faucet near the bottom, and he
finds he can carry more than a pint of

pleasing significance to the manufac
turers' announcements that "all tubing

, That is an interesting story of the
et-to between the sailors of the Amer
ican gunboat Petrel and the British
rxulser Spartan, away out In Shanghai.
The Britishers ashore attacked half
their number of the Yankee tars and
were licked out of their boots. The
British Consul himself officially placed
the blame on the men of the Spartan,
and assessed the damages, amounting
to several thousand dollars, against
that ship.
In the death of Henry Cuyler Hun-

thing more than the editor of their chief
comic weekly. For fifteen years Puck
has ieen a recognized force in the e
Iltical aud social life of the nation, and
during all that time his was the hand
that directed ita energies. But he was
more than an editor and more than a
funny man. He appealed not only to
the Judgments of men, but to their
hearts as well, and It Is as the writer
of quaiDtly ls-autlful sketches of life it?
its quieter aspects and of dainty bits
of verse that he will be longest remem
bered. Bunner knew humanity and
looked upon It with an Indulgent eye
which yet recognized its follies aud its
weaknesses. That surprising series of
little classics, "Short Sixes," published
iu Puck five years ago, is still treasur
ed among the literary Jewels of many

HOW THEY WERE CAUGHT.
Speaking of an anonymous person
who has given $100,000 to Harvard
College, an exchange remarks that the
reeordlng'a-ngel will have no trouble in
identifying him. This Is probably true.
but the sort of credit mark that will be
set opposite his name may depend upon
the angel's opinion of the benevolence
which unloads money on the higher
colleges that are very well without It
when so many worthy undertakings
offer for funds. Wben, for instance.
will It occur to some one to endow a
kindergarten?
