by St#|» Neitrrr to (hr WbeH —Sur# Th*i the ISlcycl# Mm* ( out* to Stay.The history of bfoyrllng for the jvar 1897 is, with the exception of the racing j and relay accomplishments and the i chrouidinff of mishaps, already told.Perhaps foretold is a better word.In the cycle show just closed the whole tendency and significance of the coining year’s work have been made plain.The story this cycle show told was a story of permanence.It has become a trite saying that “the bicycle has oome to stay.’’ Now the “staying” process has begun in earnest.The bicycle is no longer a fad, but a business, and in the competition, from now out, “the weakest must go to the wall.” In the models for ’97 there is almost utter absence of anything like radical or revolutionary change.The improvements are altogether improvements of detail.They are efforts, all along the line, to better the machine in vital points, to strengthen its weak places against hard usatre, to conteract evils which medical critics have pointed out, to do away with large bills of expense for repairs, which, in the cases of some cheap wheels have been well nigh as great as the original cost.In short, the whole aim is now to make of the bicycle a “permanent” machine, which can be owned and maintained by the man or woman of average means, and not, at the season’s end, he an out-of-date and worthless piece of trumpery, to be disposed of at any consideration, to make way for the next whim or device of the maker.The man who buys a ’97 wheel of any good make ought not to have to exchange it for a new one for three years to come—unless the evidence furnished to eyes and ears at the cycle show was utterly untrustworthy.This year’s work goes further toward making the bicycle take the place of the horse than any year’s work thus far accomplished since the general adoption of the “safety” shape*.The bicycle buyer is learning.He exacts more from the manufacturer, and the manufacturer responds willingly, like a wist* man.The cycle show has put a quietus, in great measure, on the clamor for first class wheels at a second or third class price.The makers have expendod money and effort to make their products better, and, in turn, they have kept the prices up in a corresponding degree.It is, from a practical standpoint, the greatest year the “bike” has known.Perhaps the most significant of the general changes is the substitution of “flush”joints in the frames.The “flush” joint is made inside the tubing, so that when painted and enamelled, it is iuvls-ble save to the eye of an expert.Its superficial effect is to make the frame look as if cast out of one piece of metal, and the old joint, so suggestive, in its general appearance, of a gun fitter's hand! work, seems clumsy compared with the neat, light ami graceful frames of the new models.Their makers insist that the flush joint requires better material and far better workmanship than the old form, and is in itself a guarantee of good faith to the purchaser.Many firms, de- 1 NEW BICYCLE LAMP.spite this, have declined to adopt the new joint, urging that it necessitates the do ing of work wThero it cannot be seen by the workman, and therefore is an element of weakness.The general tendency is toward a ban die bar which shall bring the grips up to meet the hand's normal position when the rider sits erect.There will lx* ne more “bicycle stoop.” The “scorcher” pose is out of date.Two forces, the cycle men say.have !>eon intluential in doing away with low handles and humpbacked riding.Medical criticism is one, and ridi cule the other.The “biker” of ’97 and other years to come will sit up in the same shape he was made to sit in.There are multitudious novelties in the way of grips.A really important improvement, the distinguishing feature of one much exploited machine, is the change in the re lative position of the sprocket and the hull bearings upon which the driving mechanism in the wheel ojierates.This is a very simple but very valuable change, when viewed fn*e from the bewilderment of technical mechanical terms.Formerly the bearings wen* placed inside of the sprocket wheel over which the chain runs, and the crank was, of course, outside the wheel at the end of the axle.So at every stroke with the foot, on either ptHlal, there was a pressure on the axle, which acted ns a lever, and caused, necessarily, a comparatively vast friction on the bearings.This increased wear and tear, and also the force necessary for propulsion.The new crank hanger has the Ivill bearings inside the very hubs of thu cranks, and the sprocket wheel, the motive agent, works on the inside of the crank hub.The leverage and friction are thus done away with, and the further ad vantage is gained of having the “tread,” that is, the entire length of the crank axle, lessened.This obviates the physical injury resulting from riding with the feet spread far apart, a fault upon which physicians have harped mightily.The narrow tread makes bicycle riding al most like walking Another change which nearly all manu fuctorers have made is the lowering of the crank hanger, bringing the whole propelling apparatus about two inches nearer to the ground.This reduces resist -anee and is withoa! doubt an advantage in racing machines.It bringa the pedal I CURE FITS!

greater danger.gThe sprocket wheels—over which the chain runs—are in most of the ’97 wheels much larger than in the old models.This increases the leverage ami the bicycle is propelled with less eifienditure of muscle.It is contended, however, that what is gained in leverage, by the enlarged sprocket, is more than counterbalanced by the increased friction.To counteract this, there have been exhibited a number of improved chains and sprocket wlieels, one of which said to be of English origin, is equipped with small rollers, so that the links of the chain roll into their grasp upon the sprocket.Manufacturers have long contended against a weakness in the front fork, which undergoes really the most severe strain of any part of the wheel.A New York firm has adopt4*d a triple front fork.It is simple.Into the tuU-s of the front fork, in which the forward wheel is set, Consumption.?ftlMbto tTMtiM Mid two bottt« Of BiNlietD* MBt fro* i a»T Snffr troatiM tad two bottl#* of a>*dietn«

bar.It adds slightly to the weight of the machine, but, furnishing, as it does, six points of leverage instead of two, increases the rigidity of the machine.It enables racers to hold the corners at full speed.The name of the new saddle is legion.Wealthy people have gone so far as to have saddles made to order.The results have not l>een satisfactory, as a rule, and the self-adjusting saddles with pneumatio cushions or springs, carefully adjusted under the felt, have been widely experimented with.For gentlemen's use, however, the simple hard leather saddle still undoubtedly enjoys the greatest favor.It seems to be the old story of the horse saddle over again.For the English saddle, every horseman, except a Mexican, knows, is the easiest seat that was ever put on a horse’s bark.There is one novelty in ladies’ saddles, however, which may come into general, perhaps universal use.It is on a chair principle, or, rather, perhaps, on the principle of the old baseball cushion, is based upon a steel structure, padded with felt and equipped with pneumatic cushions besides.Its whole story is best told in the catch-line of its advertising sheets, “Get off that pommel.” It is a saddle which without doubt will find favor among medical men.The question of tires is in a fair way to be settled, if the ball tire, the season’s chief novelty, fulfills the promises made for it.Instead of one great hoop of rubl)er it is composed of a series of rubber balls, secured to grooves in the rim by steel pins.For the man who rides on a ball tire tacks and glass have no terrors.Any Iwill can be taken out, ro-inflated by means of a pocket needle, and then replaced.Inside the ball is a lump of raw rubt>er which, as the needle is withdrawn, closes the aperture behind it.The tire has stood such tests as would make a professional glass eater tremble.Notable among this season’s changes is the large use made of wood for rims, handle l«rs.and, in some cases, for the entire frame.Careful experiment shows that under torsion strain, at least, it is preferable to metal and does away almost entirely with the jar, which is a main drawback to bicycle exercise, and, physicians say, ruinous to the nerve centres ami so productive of nervous diseases.There is a famous advance in children’s wheels, which heretofore have in most instances been made to order.One firm—a Syracuse concern which makes children’s wheels only—has a clever device by which a machine for a toddler of five years may lx* “let out,” like a pair of trousers, and fit him until he is old enough to justly demand a new one.The new lamps are a multitude.One has both ends of the wick immersed in the oil chamber and the edge of the wick lighuxi.There is no trimming, no smoke.But the drift of lamp maker's ideas is toward an electric light, and there are half a dozen patterns, the batteries being carried in a compact case Strapped upon the frame.They will burn for hours and can lie lighted instanter whenever the “bike policeman” draws nigh.A young Englishman named Allx»rt Grant has invented a white powder which, sprinkled over the garments of the wheelman, will make him visible in the dark.When he first put it on his own raiment and went out to see whether it would work or not, the people fled affrighted, and the phantom bicyclist was the terror of the town.Hain and wind increase* the brilliancy of the light, and the nocturnal rider looks like a galvanized moonbeam.The invention has been approved by the cycling authorities of Great Britain.Freak devices then* are without numlx»r, new fangled bells and even whistles Into which a tiny piston, moved by a wheel which plays upon the forward wheel of the machine, pumps the air.But these things arc the notions of a day.The ideal, or representative, wheel of 1897 is a masterly piece of workmanship.The rider who could construct a machine in which all the strong points of improvement here enumerated should l>e embodied, would have the most perft*ct thing that ever went upon two wheels And when he had finished riding it.h • could take a spin in the new* bicycle bath which is possibly the best adjunct to a wheelman’s outfit that inventive genius has produced.Over a fiat tub a seat handle and two pedals are rigged up.The chain turns the wheel of a pump, and, while the “biker pedals away, the water from an overhead show* er deluges him.The vigorous movement insures a thorough wetting and at the same time prevents the rider from taking cold.There are countless other novelties, each of which will have its adherents.The mirror attached to the handle bar by means of which the rider can at a glance see who and what is behind him or her.has its uses, as all cyclists agree that then' is nothing so dangenm* as to turn the head.These miirort

institutions, snd interferes with the ordinary channels if business If the Government pays to depositors only the same interest that they can obtain from the banks, considerable amounts will he

I am a new man, cured by using three boxes of Dodd’s Kidney Pills.” Mr.F.X.Groulx, Ottawa, Ont., says : “Dodd’s Kidney Pills have been a godsend to me as they have cured me of Bright’s Disease of the

25.—(Special)—The second week of the Greco-Turkibh war opens up with the city of Larissa in Turkish hands, the Greek forces in headquarters of their second line of defence at Pharsalis, twenty miles further south while their victorious opponents are devastating Thessaly with fire and sword.The cause leading up to this result was the signal defeat of the Greeks at Mati, some ten miles north of I-arissa on Friday in a desjierate engagement after which Cr wn Prince Constantine decided to retire.Throughout the rest of Macedonia, Kpirus and Alhani, the situation remains about unchanged with the advantage on the side of the Greeks in most cases ; hut the master stroke of Kdheni Pasha puts the fortunes of Turkey far ahead of Greece in the struggle.Athens, April 25.—The following semi-oflicial announcement is made “in a fierce engagement at Mati Friday, our troops fought heroically until six o’clock in the evening and compelled the Turks to retreat, whereupon the Turks were heavily reinforced.Our positions were shaken and a retreat was ordered.It is not known whether the retreat was general.” A second despatch says : “Our troops are concentrated along the line of Phar-salos in consequence of those operations, the abandonment of Tyrnavo and Larissa being considered inevitable.Pharsalos is a small town on the right hank of the Phersalitia and at the north foot of a spur of the Chassidiari mountains.Pharsalos is about twenty miles due south of Larissa.The Lapierre Case.The preliminary examination < f Thos.Lapierre and his wife charged with attempted murder took place la-fore District Magistrate Mulvena on Wednesday and Thursday of this week.The magistrate's room was found far too small to accomodate the large number who had assembled to witness the proceedings, so an adjournment was made to the large court room.A large number of women were presen* who seemed to he greatly interested in the case.H.B.lirowi, Esq., Q.C., and Mr.LeBlanc conducted the prosecution, while L.C.Belanger, t).C., defended the prisoners.The taking of evidence and all ether proceedings was conducted in French.The first witness called was the Rev.Father Vaillancourt, parish priest of Hi.George de Windsor.He stated that several complaints had been made to him in regard to the treatment received by the little Lapierre girl at the hands of her father, and in consequence of these complaints he visited Lapierre’s house to investigate the matter.Madame Lapierre was in at the time he called, and to his inquiry of the little girl whom he said he heard was sick the woman replied that the girl was all right now and well.The priest said that he wished to speak to her, when he was told that she was upstairs asleep ; he insisted upon seeing the child and Madame Lapierre went up stairs to get the child.In a little while she came down supporting the little girl with both hands.The little girl he said appeared to be in a very serious condition, her face was completely covered with sores which had the appearance of bruises.He informed some of the neighbors of the state of affairs and requested them to remove the child.Romeo Robitaille, the next witness, stated that he lived about 24 acres from F-apierre's house.The neighbors had found out that Lapierre was ill-treating his children and he (Robitaille) had been asked by several of them to go and look after the little girl.He started to go but met Lapierre a short distance from the house.He told Lapierre that he had come to get the child.Lapierre answered that the child was all right and that he would not allow her to come out.On entering the house he saw the two eldest children.The little girl was behind a box stove hut came in view as he entered.She presented a pitiful appearance.La-pierro finally allowed him to take the child and placing her in his sleigh he covered her with a buffalo.Madame Lapierre in speaking to him, said that her husband had a had temper and when his ire was up would chastise the children severely.Although he said nothing to the woman alniut the scars on the child's face, she told him that the little girl had fallen over a piece of cordwood and had been bruised in this way.Upon reaching his house the girl complained of the soreness of her feet, and upon examining them they were found to he in a very had condition.Dr.Thibault, of St.Camille, was summoned and the limbs properly bandaged.At the afternoon session the principal witnesses were the little girl herself and Dr.Thibault.Mr.Belanger explained the nature of an oath to the girl, after which she was sworn.The examination conducted by Mr.LeBDnc elicited a tale of suffering and torture.The little girl had only the faintest recollections of a mother, but had been caved lor by her grand-mother living at St Albert de Warwick.Last spring her father came for her and brought her to St.George de Windsor, where she met her step-mother for the first time.Upon her arrival she was immediately placed in the garret, where she was compelled to remain unless employed in farm work.They had no garments for her and she was compelled to go barefooted even after the ground had been frozen.At nights an old coat was the only covering afforded her.Mde.I-apierre's son occupied a lied near by in the same room, but was well supplied with coverings by his mother.During one very Cold night both feet were frost bitten, one being entirely frozen.The following morning upon complaining to her stepmother she was told to put her feet in some cold water, which she did.She was usually called down stairs twice a day to take food, but on many occasions she only received nourishment once a day.She was not allowed to eat with the family, hut received the remains of their meal.Her evidence not only showed that she had been frequently chastised but in a most cruel manner.On one occasion her adopte! brother tilled her nose with peas in the presence of the woman, and «hen Lapierre came in he told the boy to put in a couple more, using a stick to force the jnias into the nasal passages.Again this boy, whose name is Francois, tied a string around her tongue which he pulled to his satisfaction.These are only a few of the many cruelties disclosed by the little girl’s evidence.Dr.Thibault testified to the condition he found the girl when he called to see her.He found the foot in a very had condition, it having decomposed so an to cause a very unpleasant odor.He knew at first sight that the limb had been fmz-en On account of the weakness of the child aa operation wan out of the quention so he waa compelled

probing some distance in her nostrils he extracted a pea.A considerable discharge followed, showing that it had been there for some days.At the conclusion of Dr.Thibault's evidence the court adjourned until Thurs day morning.At the morning session Madame La pierre was examined as the first witness for the defence.Judge Mulvena, before placing her under oath, explained that she would not be compelled to answer all questions, hut that any answers made would he used for and against her.Her testimony was a direct contradiction of all the other witnesses.She had known the child since it was two years old.Her husband’s brother informed them last spring that the little girl was running from house to house at Warwick and that they had better look after her, so her husband accordingly brought her to their home at St.George de Windsor.She said when the little girl did go without shoes it was by her own wish.Only on one occasion had she helped to do the cooking.She denied that she had ill-treated the child in any manner but on the contrary that both herself and her husband had treated the child with kindness.Her explanation as to the condition of the child’s foot was that it had been crushed.She said that she bandaged the injured limb, putting sweet oil upon it.Upon the conclusion of this evidence the court adjourned until 2 o’clock.Thos.Lapierre one of the prisoners was examined at the afternoon session, but as soon as he was placed in the witness box his memory seemed to fail him, for the only answer that could be elicited from him touching the case was that “he did not remember" or “he did not know.” At the close of the examination of witnesses, H.B.Brown Esq., for the prosecution addressed the Court claiming that the case had been fully established and asked for the commitment of the prisoners.L.C.Belanger, Esq., for the defence made a plea on behalf of the prisoners.District Magistrate Mulvena then summed up the evidence produced and committed the prisoners to stand their trial at the next term of Court of Queen's Bench in October next.PERSONALS.E.S.Foss has removed to No.38 Court Street.Hon.W B Ives was home from Ottawa over Sunday.Miss
