r SHAKESPEARE ON THE WHEEL.
ramilinritj cS tho EvrJ of Avcn With tho
Silent Steed.
Shakespeare, it would seem, must
have known something about bicy
cles, for throughout his plays ho
makes frequent references to tho
wheel. It must bo that ilamlot’s
father had visited a bicycle acad
emy where beginners on the wheel
were plenty, for the ghost said:
"What a falling off was there!”
This most excellent description is
paralleled hv another in the same
play, in which reference is made to
an accident, the now woman of tho ;
early sixteenth century beipg evi- i
den fly the greatest sufferer. The
first, player says:
"Break all tho spokes and fellies
from her wheel.”
Then the fool in “Lear” gives ad
vice to coasters, of tho merits of
which the modern rider may judge
for himself. He says:
"Let go thy hold when a great
wheel runs down hill, lest it break
thy neck with following it.”
Even Cleopatra had her wheel.
Antony advises her to mount it and
seek Caesar when he says:
“Of Caesar seek your honor on
your safety.”
There were evidently bicycle
thieves in those days, and owners
had to carefully guard their precious
wheels. In "The Tempest” Alonzo
says to the king:
“We, too, my lord, will guard your
person while you take your rest and
watch your safety.”
In the same play Ariel undoubt
edly heard tho King and his attend
ants coming on their wheels when
he sung:
“Hark! Now I hear them; ding,
dong, bell.”
There is no doubt that Achilles,
in “Troikas and Cressida,” traveled
on a bicycle, for he says to ilia myr
midons:
“Attend mo while I wheel.”
It is safe to assume that, as today,
tho wheel is a never ending source
of conversation, so was it at tho
time of Titus Andronicus, though
the listener was more patient then.
Aaron says to Demetrius:
“Now talk at pleasure of your
safety.”
It appears from a quotation made
by the King in “All’s Well That Ends
Well” that the law requires lamps
to be carried at night, and that a
violation of it was followod by death.
He says:
“Lot mo live after my flams lacks
oil.”
Chains were not noiseless, and
hells were used in the days of the
“Comedy of Errors,” as shown by a
conversation betwoen thoDromio of
(Syracuse and Adriana, which runs
thus:
A chain, a chain. Do you not hear
“ Wha i--tho cb ain ? ”
“No, no; tho bell.”
The availability of wheels in dan
gerous service is illustrated in “Cor
iolanus,” when the winded mes
senger says to Cominius:
Spies of tho Voices
Held me in chase, that I was forced to wheel
Three or four miles about, else had I, sir,
Half im hour since brought my report.
The tire of which Shakespeare
■wrote was evidently filled with hair
• instead of air, and even its color was
of importance. In ‘ ‘ Much Ado About
Nothing” Margaret says:
“I like the new tiro within oxcel
entlv, if tho hair were a thought
browner!”
Puck’,> prophotio remark about
plaoing a girdle round the world in
40 minutes is fully equaled by that
of Launce in “Tho Two Gentlemen
of Verona” when he says:
“Than may I sot tho world on
wheels. ”
Surely tho prophecy has been ful
filled. —Washington Post.
Her Calling.
“Is this where they hand in the
advertisements? ” asked tho prim
little woman in black.
“Yes, ma’am,” replied the adver
tising clerk. “Vv hat can I do for
you?”
“I wish to hand in a vocation.”
- “A what, ma’am?”
“A vocation,” stiffly rejoined the
littlo woman. “I ain't lookin for
an ordinary job. I'm used to bein
a governess, and it ain t good form
for a governess to advertise the same
way as if she wanted a placq in
somebody’s kitclien. I want this
put under the head of ‘Vocation,’ if
it costs a quarter extra. Do you get
the idea, sir?”
“Yes’ra,” said the clerk helpless
ly. “Hand over your ad.’’—Chica
go Tribune.
Tho Exception.
“They say that a man cannot suc
cessfully do two things at once.”
“I’ve heard it said.”
“Do you believe it?"’
“I’ve never had any occasion to
doubt it.”
“Have you ever bad any experi
ence in municipal affairs?
“A little.”
“Then you must have known of
cases in which a man has drawn two
salaries at once and kept it up for
some time. ”
“Oh, well, anything is possible to
a financier in politics. —Chicago

The Feigning of Death hj Animals.
Tho habit of feigning death for
the sake of protection can be observ
ed among many of tho lower ani
mals—animals which differ widely
in family, genus and species. In
deed, this habit is to ho observed in
creatures microscopic in size and of
exceedingly low organization, as
well as in those as high in the scale
of animal lifo as man himself, for
even man does not hesitate on occa
sions to avail himself of this natu
ral subterfuge when ha thinks it will
aid in tho preservation of his life.
With tho aid of tho microscope
one can "observe and study tho nat
ural history of the minute animal
world, which otherwise would re
main a closed and unread volume.
This instrument has shown me be
yond cavil that creatures as low in
tho scale as actinophryans, very
minute, microscopic animalcules,
practice death feigning when sur
prised by an enemy from which
they cannot otherwise escape. Thus
I have repeatedly seon nctinophry
ans fold their delicate, liuirliko legs
or cilia and sink to tho bottom of
their miniature lake (a drop of wa
ter) whan approached by a water
louse, which preys upon thorn. They
remain to all appearancesabsolutely
without lifo until tho water louse
swims away, when they unfold their
cilia and go hack to their feeding
grounds—a hit of water weed or moss
or decayed wood.—James Weir in
Lippincott’s.
Solemn Exercises Interrupted.
“They toll a good story of General
John C. Black, formerly commis
sioner of pensions, out in Danville,
Ills., where ho lives,” said A. D.
Matlock of Springfield. “General
Black is a very eloquent speaker
and has few equals hoforo a jury.
Judge Emerson of Decatur, while j
not possessed of a national roputa- i
tioni as is General Black, is famous
as an orator in Illinois. They were I
on opposite sides of a lawsuit re
cently. Thera were many pathetics j
circumstances connected with the j
case, and, in his opening speech to '
the jury, General Black made tho !
most of these. A solemn hush foil
over tho courtroom, and tears wore
seen to stand in tho eyes of tho more
impressive jurymen. It looked as
if a verdict would ho rendered for
General Black’s client without much
delay, when Judg’o Emerson -aroso \
and in slow, nmasured tunes said,
'Gentlemen of tho jury, let ns con- j
tiuuo these solemn exercises by ring -
inq tho one hundred and fifteenth
psalm. ’ The tears were followed by ;
laughter, and the judge won the j
case. ” —Washington Star.

From Lcndoa KrUs© In a Sack.
Somo years ago a porter named i
Fuller employed at Billingsgate j
markot, London, made a bet that he !
would jump from London bridge
tied up in a sack, his only stipula
tion being that ho should he pro
vided with a knife —which lie was
not to open till ho touched t-lie wa
ter—with which to rip open the sack.
Ho succeeded in accomplishing tha
fast, and when picked up by some
friends in a boat was none the worse
for his dive.

A. .Discussion of tlie
Currency < Question
Toy J. 'XV. Prince f
Denison, Gra,
T!ie -uop’.e of every section of tiio United Stat■ a arc discussing fro
silver, and, aimr .--everal months of dilligent study, 1 have concluded to issue
(his circular letter to the good people of my county.
I do not believe, from the re .ding of the Republican platform that they
will emu t a free coinage law. No more silver coins will he added to the vol
(ime of our currency except that which is coined for the purpose of redeem
.ng and retiring our paper money. Now, the question I wish to discuss is,
how can we use what money we have in circulation in Codec county to tho
best advantage.
Firstly, 1 would advise strict economy, which can be practiced by trading
at my store. 1 have the largest and best selected stock of general merchan
dise in Peal -on, and am willing, yea anxious, to accept all 52 cent silver dol
lars in payment for my goods, giving as much and often more than you get
ehewhere for a gold dollar.
Those who have the cash to nay for their purchases can sec their money
appreciating ill value as soon as they enter mv store.
1 have a pretty line of Shoes Hals, Dry Goods, Clothing, Groceries,
Fancy Candies, Cold Drinks, Trunks, Crockery ware, Glassware, etc., etc.
Rcnu inh r 1 have tho goods and they arc to he sold at real bargain
prices. Don’t forget to call and hear the Regina play. Each and every
nurclnlse to the amortnt- of .>0 cents entitles you to a ticket and a chance to
get this beautiful, $H7.00 music box free. Respectfully,
Pearson, Ga., June 20,18R0. J. W. PRINCE,
