This organization extends not only over the United States, but also to Canada and Mexico, and already couats in its ranks a number of Engiish bicyclers. Its objects, a8 stated in its constitution, ace: “To promote the general interests of bicycling; to ascertain, os and protect the rights of ; and to encourage and facilitate Its officers 3 ary, two directors for each state in which there is a org: bicycle club; and these officers form a board, of which eight constitute nite competent to direct and decide upon matters not provided for in the constitution, ‘They are also given n power to fill all vacanctes, ‘The directors are empowered to appoint consuls in such places as may be advisable, so that apy member of the League, who for busi- ness or pleasure may visit any town or city in the country, may be able to find there an offi- Cer of the League ready to welcome him as a brother wheelman, and give him such taforma- tion as he may desire.

English farms have for a good whil ceased to be able to supply the home mar! ‘The elaborate system of agriculture in vogue there keeps down the practice—which in Ire- land and this country supplies most horses—ot raising a colt or two in an easy domestic way on every farm of.any size. The consequence has been that Irish horses, and particularly bunters, bave come to have an exceptional reputation in the English market, so that of jate years it has not been uncommon for Amer- Jean dealers to turn their exportations into irish horses when they reach Liverpool. The late victories will oa, elp to dis- 81 ch still ee there ay American saddle horses. it 1s very iikely to make running here still more fash- jonable than trotting, and cause more money to be put into it than hitherto. The American pre-eminence in trotting, which no forelga nation makes any pretence of see or even approaching, somehow excites but little interest in Europe, and 1s not likely to afford Materials for international triumphs. The American trotter is ledin England with curiosity rather than admiration, as it he was one of our ingenious machines. There is some color of reasonableness, too, in this, because trotting Is unquestionably an inherited aod highly cultivated knack, rather than an exercise of the tin natural power of locomotion. ‘When the foreigner reads that Maud 8's tremen- dous speed has been largely Got out of her by put- Ung very heavy weights on her fore feet, he not unnaturally looks on her rather as a triumph of Yankee ingenuity than of Yankee horsebreed- ing. The trotting horse, too, 15 somewhat dis- credited for purposes of amusement, by the fact that excellence in trotting has but little con- nhectien with external beauty. Of course, a great crotter is apt to have a good pedigree and some external signs of his power, Dut plenty ot gocd trotters have neither, and some look as if they were only fit for a ragpicker’s cart. The thoroughbred galloper 1s, however, almost al- Ways a beautiful animal, from whose visible points his speed and bottom are inferrible with a fair degree of accuracy, and he is therefore an excellent animal to bet on. His stride,too,at fall speed is ee the finest display of animal grace afd vigor the civilized world can pro- duce, and watching him doing bis best makes im Anglo-Saxon countries the most entertain- ing and picturesque kind of holiday. He Is a genuine Anglo-Saxon product, although the cutcome of 3,000 years of careful breeding b2- fore Anglo-Saxons were ever heard of. ‘There 1s about him, too, a great fascination in the fact that he 1s the one domesticated animal in which careful breeding has developed a vital energy which closely resembles a moral qual- ity. ‘The phrase “blood will tell,” when ap- Plied to him, means that when called on in his Special business he will do or dle; that is, put forth all bis powers to the last Fas. It 1s not very wild speculation to suppose, also, that American success in running races may do much to revive and stimulate here the use of the saddie horse among the overworkea class who are willing to pay something for their exercise. The trotting norse has already in the large cities greatly fallen out of favor with the wealthy youth. ‘The young man with the diamond shirt pin, and fast trotter and light wagon, 1s much more rarely seen than he was even ten years ago. He has gone into coaching and polo, and the pursuit of the aniseseed bag acrors country. Since the downfall of the Frerch Empire he has begun to take bis fashions from London, aud ha is Tapidly acquiring one of ‘that best ot English fashions which makes the sai- die the fittest place for a man who needs exercise and wishes jo get over ground repidjy.

Women at English Universities. 1M. D. Conway, in Gincinnat! Commercial.) Before leaving Cambridge I visited both of the colleges for young ladies, Girton and Newn- ham. Of these Girton is the older and better endowed. It 1s situated about three miles away from the University, “Mrs. Grundy” having had at that time more voice in such matters than she has now. The ladies go in carriages te the University lectures. For the rest it 1s 4 beau- Uful place. The rooms are pretty and per- fectly ventilated; some of them are finely deco- rated. A Miss Minton, of New York, who had been there, had her room decorated by Morrl3, and there are several rooms which bear impress of the wsthetic revival which is just now under- going its ordeal of ridicule, Tne Girton giris would not answer, however, as models for Gil- bert & Sullivan's “love-sick maidens,” for a more blooming and hearty set of girls it would be difficult to find. Evidently, the male element {s not needed at Girton. The young ladies enjoy thelr pretty Tooms abd {peir Studies, they play tennts, they drive and Walk, and seem to be happy eLough. Newnham College is in the town of Cambridge, It is not yet 80 large as Girton, but has just built an additional building, and bas land on which to erect another. ts ma- tron is Miss Clough, sister of the poet, with whom: £0 maby Americans have memorabie associations, Prof. Sidgwick’s wife assists her. The professor himself (!lonry Slagwick, author of one of the finest works on moral sclence), took up this movement for the collegiate edu- cation of women at Cambridge at che start, and has been of immense service to it. Here also there have been or are still several Amer- jean ladies, one being Miss Wilcox, a friend of the Agassiz family, who seems to be a favor- ite in the institution. As an American, I could not help wincing a little at the fact that & lady should have to leave the shades of Harvard and come 3,000 miles to find the advantages of ity education. Nothing can ‘be more com- plete than the success of these colleges tor women. There has not been the ghost of a shade of tisgiving as to their excellent resuits here or at Oxford. There has not been a singie incident which required to be suppressed, or which could excite alarm. There is sition to the coll even among inveterate fogies and Grundyites.

The negative is placed In the barrel of the camera, to which a mirror ig affixed. The rays of light Teflected from the mirror are passed through the negative and the condensing and opjective lenses, and the photograph is thrown in an en- larged form on a sensitized surface in the rear, After the regular chemical manipulation the enlarged picture is ready to be sent out, Tne advantage of the electric light for this kind of work is really immense. It makes the photo- grapher completely independent of the wea- ther and he can work at night just as well as in daytime. It frequently happens that just at the photographer's busiest season, about Christmas Ume, for instance, the ‘Weather is very inclement. It often rains for days. But orders for enlarged coptes of pic- tures intended for presents come in briskly, Formerly about three-fourths of our patrons would be disappointed. The bad weather would make it simply tmpossible to execute their orders. But now all that ts changed. No mat- ter to what number the orders accumulate they do not worry the photographer. He sends them off to one of the ‘enlarging houses’ which use the electric light, and they are all done on time, nO matter what kind of weather there may be. Photographers value £0 much the certainty of cane their work completed on time that these jouses always have all the work they can do. Photegraphers send them work from all parts fer the east. ‘The charge by the electric light as 4s no greater than with the use of sunlight, the cost to the operator is a little more, but that is far exceeded by the value of the time Saved.

Mercury 1s the only cee ‘that twinkles, and this will help to fix is identity; we have seen him sometimes with @ decidedly yellow, and sometime with a rose- colored. oe to his disc. Astronomers have found out little concerning this planet that Circles nearest to the sun, moves the fastest and is the smallest of the known planetary family. Some observers think they nave seen the shadow of a lofty mountain on his surfaca, found proof of the time of his rotation on his axis, deteated indications of an atmosphere, deviations ?rom a spherical form, and even an apparent hole through the center. But in reality the planet is so near the sun that very little can be learned concerning him, ex- Cepting that the sun appears to his inhabitants, it there be any, seven times as agit does to us, and gives out about seven times as much ight and heat. Under these conditions we shall not be in a hurry to visit our brother ee Mercury, like Venus, is an inferior or mer planct, and is now passing from his su- Perlor conjunction, or most distant point from the earth, to his inferlor conjunction, or near- est point to the earth, Seen through the tel- escope he presents all the phases of the moon, looking at the time of his elongation like 4 half-moon, Difficult as it is to pick him up With the naked eye, he may be easily seen at noeon-day through a good telescope.—Fouth's Companion. ———— The Saddle Coming into Fashion. (** Gath,” in Oincinrati Enquirer ] The winning of the Paris Grand Prize by Keene’s Foxhail has mainly caused debate in this country whether our two great victories show that we are to become the great racing and blooded stock-breeding nation. As there 1s @ small public sentiment here in favor of Facing, and a8 great numbers of our people have become accustomed to praise English horses and races as something entirely beyond our compass, the public sentiment is but slowly settling to the belief that we have got a Jap on the English, have shown the quality of our climate and food with theirs, and Unat theso exceptional victories are only mites on the prow fact that we are Boing to duplicate in the New World the best tock that ever came out of Asia. We have paid large sums of money, probably many millions in for high = stockK—cows and pigs and sheep, as well ag horses. Wealth, which has made stock in Eng- land £0 valuable, is doing che same here, One of the pleasantest suggestions from these Taces is the encouragement they are ikke 3 to country life among American men and women, and horseback-riding has sprung up in New York to be of remarkable extent and popular- ity. At Dickel’s Aca ’, Where about three hundred horses are ke) From an Interview With a Mann- facturer in the Philadelphia “¢Times,? ‘There is a certain brand of cigarettes regard- €d as the most salable on the market, in which enervating drugs are used to a frightful extent, ‘Millions of these are sold annually. One house in New York sells on an av ot five hundred thousand a day, and the profits of ae letor ofthe brand are said to be a th @ million dollars ayear. Valerian and @ tincture of oplum are extensively used In the manufacture of cigarettes. The tobacco, which is @ Virginia production, and naturally of a pretty straw color, is rendered dark, Sogey and greasy by the process to which it is subjected. An experienced tobacconiat can detect the resence of valerian by the smell. The drugs impart @ sweet and pleasant flavor and have & coothing effect, that in a little time obtain afascipating control over the smoker, The more cigarettes he smokes the more he desires to smoke, just as is the case with one who uses opium. The desire grows into a passion. The smoker becomes @ slave to the enervating habit. To the insidious effect of the drugs Is attributed the very success with which this particular brand bas met. Unfortunately that spring up, and every day almost some new brand of drugged cigarettes is Piaced on the market. By theuseof di it is ole to rugs: make avery inferior quality of topaccd plessane Manufacturers, therefore, put these vil things on the market at a price that makes it easy for the Pe to indulge in their killing deligats, and boys and youths go in swarms for them. What is called ‘Havana flavoring” has grown to be an important article of commerce. Thou- sands of barrels af it are sold everywhere. [i is extensively used in manufacturing certain kind of cigarettes. It is made from the tonca bean, which contains a drug called mellototis. a deadly poison, seven grains of which will kili & dog. Imagine the effect which must result, from puffing that vile stuff into the iungs hour after hour. ‘The paper coverings are also a frultful source ot soe oe the a smoker. There are quree sorts of paper in common use,made respectiv from cotton and linen ar and rice straw. ‘There 18a fourth kind, which is dipped into a solution of tobacco, that has lately been the market. Cotton papel ‘Trieste, Austria, and the linen and rice paper in Panis, The first kind is manufactured from Mithy scrapings of rag pickers. Vile as it 1s, it 4s bought up in great masses bh; manufacturers, uulp and subject it toa ne process to make it Presentable. The lime and other substances ‘Used in bleaching have a very harmful influence upon the membrane of the throat and nose, Cotton paper is 80 oa thousand cigar- ettes can be wrapped with iC at a.cost of 2 cents, Rice paper is not so much used, as it is rather moore expensive. It is sometimes adulterated with linen or cotton to make tt cheaper. The average smoker cannot distinguish between the commonest and the best quailties of paper. One who knows something of the -trade can, however, perceive the difference at a glance. “Tobacconized” paper is manufactured. common paper saturated with tobacco aod Marked in such a way as to imitate the veins in the tobacco leaf very neatly, At a first glance it would pass for the genuine article, It 1s used for making imitation “‘all tobacco” cig arettes and toa considerable extent for wrap- ping. the cheaper sort of cigars. By immer3- ig the paper in water the tobacco can be Teadily separated from it, Arsenical preparations, it 13 sald, are used in bleaching most cigarette papers, and oll of cre- osote Is produced naturally as a consequence of combustion. The latter has @ most injurious effect upon the membrane of the throat and upon the lungs, and 1s satd to accelerate the development of consumption in any one pre- disposed to the disease. Papers used by a variety of manufacturers were burned for the Satisfaction of the reporter; and a pungent, stifling odor arose from ail of them. One firm Claims to have discovered a process of d2- huding cigarette paper of its deleterious effects, Little faith, however, {s put in its Professions, and the paper used by it smells a8 vilely when ingaited as any other. A leading tobacco merchant, speaking of the fact that so many thousands go on complacently smoking Daper covered cigarettes notwithstanding tuelt Well-known pernicious seeag born that ettes wrapped in pure tobacco leaves, while less injurious, would be much more expensive, and that, besides, people in time grow to prefer the ungent flavor of the burning paper with the bacco to that of the latter alone. A number of tips or holders have been devised with a view to overcoming the evil effects of tobacco in some degree 34 absorbing the nicotine and pre- venting the tol from coming into contact With the lips. The result, however, has not been satisfactory. Why She Hates the Violets. (Chicago Tribune.] Your blossoms are fair and sweet, You areas blue as.a sapphire sea.

In the progress and prosperity of any coun- try there are several important factors, Chief amongst these may be reckoned natural re- sources, population, education and means of transportation. With the first of these Mexico is richly endowed. Itis doubiful if any equal area on the face of the globe possesses larger deposits of the precious metals, or has already etl) more of them. Her coast lands for e most part are exceedingly fertile, produc- ing in abundance the best growths of the Res but they have an unbealthy climate, and can never be developed by the labor ot white men, ‘The interior may be described a8 & yas, table land, elevated from 5,000 to 9,000 feet above the and ig acclimate favor- able, wherever water is f to all the crops Of the temperate zone. Much of it, however, is arid and sandy, and in the north particularily water is scarce. Between these two great nat- ural divisions lie what the Spaniard called the temperate lands, where trost and” excessive heat are unknown, and where everything that is eee from New York to Florida will thrive and yield abundantly. ‘These ternperate lands, consisting of terraces or benekes separated by steep slopes and deep valleys, and situated as they are for the most art in a comparatively narrow belt, are alike a bar to the existence of navigable streams and the easy construction of good roads connecting the interlor with the coast Partly from this cause, and pi from the ape mele char- acter of the population or the disturbed state of the country, the {pack Saddle and the primi- tive wagon have hitherto been the onty mean3 of tranportation.
