enough ou the boulevards and In the parks, they are not so great as they Used to be a couple of years ago. The fact Is, the bicycle Is getting to he more and more a business proposition. Men and women who have wheels ride them to and from work as a rule and do not take as many rides of evenings for di­version as they once did. The wheel Is an actual vehicle of business as adopt­ed for telegraph messenger boys, spe­cial delivery letter carriers and the llkei.

“As an outcome of this the average speed of Chicago wheelmen and wheel- women has Increased. Nine out of ten persons you see on a bicyde are riding In a hurry.

CARNIVOROUS PLANTS.

P lan ts “Boarded" la tbe flnmtncr.A Philadelphia woman makes a com­

fortable living each summer by tak­ing plants to "board.” When the wealthy residents of the city close their homes, preparatory to spending the season a t the seaside, the woman calls and gets their plants and takes them to her own conservatory. She makes a nominal charge for caring for the plants and those who have rare flowers find that It Is much more sat­isfactory to send the valuable speci­mens out to board than tp leave them to the eare of servants.

Not a few plants are as truly car­nivorous as a tiger, catching tlifir prey, converting their structure for the time being Into a stomach, and digest­ing tbe nutritious purls Just as we do our dinner. Our bogs and mountains are studded with the attractive little suu dew (Drosera rolundifulta aud lougtfolla). From a loose rosette of battledore-shaped leaves rises the plan- Ide of somewhat Inconspicuous flow­ers. The leaves are thickly sprinkled with bright red tentacles, each crowned with a tluy drop of sticky mucilage, which glitters In the sun, and gives the plant Its name. But woe to the fly that Is attracted by Its beauty! Once let hlin light upon It, and there Is no eg- cape; the mucilage holds him fast. There Is a story somewhere of an Eng­lishman who won a large Bum at a gambling house In Paris, Unwilling to walk the streets at night with so large a sum about him, he was persuaded to engage a room In a lodging bouse next door. Fortunately for him, tie was loo excited to sleep, for In the still hours he suddenly became aware that the tester of the bed on which lie was lying was Blowly and silently descending to smother him. The feeling of the fly on the sundew must be somewhat sim­ilar to Ills. Equally slowly and silently the tentacles which cover the leaf fold themselves around him; and when they expand again there Is nothing 4eft of the fly but the wings and the akin, the rest having been assimilated by tne leaf.

Another carnivorous plant Is the bladderwort (Utrlcularia). It is an aquatic plant, wholly submerged, with tbe exception of tbe blossom, and pro­fusely furnished with small bladder­like appendages about the size of snipe shot. The bladders are open, and the opening Is fringed with hairs pointing Inward like the wires of a rat trap. The small animal organisms, whose number and variety In a single drop of water when examined under the micro­scope astonish one. can enter, but they cannot leave it. There and then they turn Into vegetable.—Longman’s.

They were all laughing heartily, when Alice Thompson came Into the room with a dejected look on her face, and a German book ta her baud (the two usually go ta pairs), inquiring for Jean, saying; "I’ve got a German story here about a cow, aud 1 can’t get head or tall to i t .

The next day the excitement ran still higher when It was rumored that Kate had a fever. The girl* were sure that It was smallpox, and all kept their dis­tance, leavlug poor, unpopular Kate to He hours alone in her little bars room. They all protested and threw up their hands lu horror when Jeau declared her Intention of going right up to Kate’s room with a glass of lemonade. As Jeau entered the room, Kate rows up aud gratefully said, ”1 Just knew you would come, 1 am so thirsty.”

Later a physician was called. And aure enough It was smallpox. The physician advlaed that Kate ue moved from the dormitory as quickly and with ss little coufuslon as possible. She was taken to a forlorn little cabin a mile down the river, and Jean, poor girl, went with her. This was tbe only thing she could do, now that she had beeu exposed to tbe dread disease.

Tbe unbidden tears were creeping slowly down her face, when a tup was heard upon the door. Ham, the colored -boy, banded her a card, which bore the name, "George Lock- wood."

She wen! down to the reception room with a feeling of dread, mingled with gloomy forebodings. As she entered tbe room and George came forward to meet her, she Instinctively drew back, in a way entirely unlike her fortner frank self. And she said, slowly, hesi­tatingly, with downcast eyes; "George I have changed Blnee you gave me this ring. Now 1 think It only just and right that I return It.” .George Lock- wood was a born orator, but there never was more eloquence or»more ear- neatness In bis voice than when—but why attempt to tell what he said?

It Is stated on reliable authority that the Republic Reffubtlon company’s plant will be In full operation by Sep tember 7. if this proves true the Re­public mill and tbe custom mill will commence operations about the same time.

The w ater has been taken out of the shaft and drift on the Flag Staff In Cody camp. It was considerable of an undertaking, os the shaft Is 100 feet deep and there Is nearly 80 feet of drift.. The water came close to the 60 foot level.

It la reported In Republic that the Mountain Lion company would declare a dividend of 6 cents per Hhare on Au­gust 1. As far as can be learned no official announcement of the dividend has keen made, hut It. ts stated from an Insider that such a course Is more than probable,

The station being cut on the 200- loot level of the Qullp Is completed, The ore In the raises neve^ looked so well as It does now and It certainly assnyB far better than ever before. The values ter a long time previous to the past month have ranged from f 15 to )25 per ton. but since then the increase has been considerable.

The Badger Girl group of mining claims, which are being worked by eastern capital tinder the management of 8. Bennett, has made a splendid strike of rich galena ore at the bottom of the incline shaft. This ore Is the richest galena yet found In the camp and the quartz with which It Is mixed Is reported to assay high In gold val ties. Mr. Bennett la more than elated over the outlook for the property, which Is rapidly developing Into one of the foremost mines ot Meyers Creek camp.

Empire camp, which lies west of the foot of Curlew lake, and about four miles therefrom and 12 miles north of Republic. Is again attracting atten­tion. ft Is one of the oldeet camps in the country, and for a time drew the general attention of prospectors and speculators. For some reason It fell out of the public eye and has been rarely mentioned for the past year. The ore carries considerable copper, but there Is also considerable gold values In some of the ledges. Some of them carry ellver, lead, gold and copper. As a whole the values of the ore In all the ledges Is rather high.

Superintendent George Miller of the Hen Hur believes that he will connect the lower level of the mine with the Intermediate level within the next five days. The lower level Is 230 feet below the surface and the Intermediate only 115 feet below, A raise Is being made from the lower and a winze Is being sunk from the intermediate. When these are connected the mine will be well vent Hated. It Is then proposed to stope on the lower level and It Is not Improbable that the shaft will be con­tinued down 100 feet. The ore In both the winze and raise Is of good grade, running from $20 to $40 per ton. The superintendent thinks that the average Is not fur from $30 per ton.
