The ‘‘season’’ begins about the time

parliament opens, and parliament's open ing and closing depend more or lesson fo3 hunting and grouse shooting. As the “season’’ approaches, town houses arte opened. and ‘‘green’’ servants are breket in; secretaries busy themselves with list: end stationery, and the winter campaigr begins immediately upou the family’s re tumtotown. As a London house is sel dom needed for more than the formal en tertainments of a season, it isin most case: hired; consequently, it isseldom attract ive.

Acquaintances are entertained in the city, and friends are taken into the coun uy tespend the week’s end on the family estate, surrounded by the household gods and the most attractive side of all Eng land. There the future members of the house of lords and the belles of some fu ture drawing room ride donkeys, and the ider people ride wheels and sit under Eng lish oaks and make little water cola sketches, and it is easily seen why only scial duties take them to London.—C.

THE DAILY EXAMINFR, CHARLOTTETOWN, JULY 17, 1897

SPOILED SY SCOTT.

The Plan That Was to Establish » Dicta- torship In Mexico,

Ié may surprise many readers to learr that overtures were made to General Scott by many Mexicans of position, and by many American officers, to permanently occupy Mexico and organize a new govern ment. The scheme proposed to General Scott was, in substance, this: It was sup posed that upon the conclusion of a treaty of peace at least three-fourths of the Amer ican army would be discharged, and that a large portion of the officers would resign and, with many of the men, would ente) the new army of Mexico, and enough oth ers could be recruited In the United States to make the American contingent 15,00 strong, and to this might be added a like number of Mexican soldiers. With such an army it was suggvsted that Mexico could be held and governed in an orderly way and prosperity might be assured.

The plan contemplated a pronuncia mento, in which General Scett should da clare himself dictator of the republic for term of five years or o give time for agitators to acquire pacific habits ané to learn to govern themselves and to re spect an orderly government, where the rights of property were aot only respected, but fully protected.

Already in possession of the forts, ar. senals, foundries, cities, mines and porte of entry, with nearly all the arms, it was not doubted that a very general acquies- cence would follow.

Grant was invited to several conclaves of afticers, but from the first emphatically declined to enter into the plot. He did not purpose to change his allegiance or his service or his flag, but meant, he said, tc return with the Fourth regiment to the United States.

He had several reasons for this determ1t nation. He was essentially a conservative thinker and was endowed with a remark ably high sense of justice, and he had gen uine contempt for any adventure which had any flavor of dishonesty or bad faith about it, and he would not consider for ¢ moment the project of placing an alien government over Mexico while the nation was dominated by superior force.

Had still another consideration beer needed to influence his course—-as was not the case, however—there was one most persuasive consideration—his prospective bride awaiting his return at her White Haven home, near Jefferson Barracks, Missouri.

General Scott declined to enter into the

WOODEN RIMS.

They Are America’s Most Valuable Con. tribution te the Bicycie.

A bicycle without a wood rim in this country isa rarity, yet onlya few years ago the wood rim was unheard of in this connection, and when it was introduced it ‘was greeted with ridicule on all sides, The wood rim is strictly an American idea, and to Charles F. Harrington is due the credit of introducing it. Mr. Harring- ton’s early life was spent at the wood working business in Vermont, and later, when he engaged in the bicycle manufae- turing business, it was natural for him ‘to think of using wood for a rina,

Hundreds of patents for special features pertaining to bicycles are granted each year by the United States patent office, but the majority of them die a natura) death. Few pay any money to the invent- or. ‘Che wood rim is undoubtedly the most valuable contribution America has given to the bicycle. Nearly everything else that has stood the test of actual use has come from ‘‘the other side.’’ France introduced the bicycle, but England improved it and gave to riders the suspension wheel, ball bearings, pneumatic tire, tubular frame and the ordinary and safety types.

America has held her own in wood working. In fact, she leads the world, and the light, strain resisting American buggy always has been a marvel to for- eigners. Its wheels are so light that the foreigner wonders how they hold together, but the much talked of resistance is the secret of it. It is the combination of wood and steel that makes the American buggy possible. The wood absorbs the shock of vibration—is resilient. The same principle applies to the steel rail and the wood ties of the railway. Without the wood ties the immense strain would tear something ta pieces. <A steel rimmed wheel without a tire is virtually a eolid, which feels jars all through; the wood rim bears jars, as it is the nature of the wood to bear them, saving the wheel and the whole structure and not suffering itself. It is lighter than the steel rim, and it permits the frame also to be made lighter. There are some incidental advantages also and seme not so incidental. For instance, the wood springs back and rights itself from strain, while the steel stays sprung and buckled: notrust and dent, and ce is easicr.—New York

Two “Lads.”

There are some creatures who, from mere innocence, are no respecters of persons. ‘They find a comrade of any age or condition, and the individual relation is all that impresses them

At one time, when De ({uincey was liv-

humai

ing at Lasswade in simple and friendly relations with the people, who respected j

him not asa writer, but as a gond neigh- bor, he formed a very delightiul friendship with a little child, a boy of 4 years. This lad, a nephew of one of the housemaids, was the constant companion of the great man and would forsake any amusement for the pleasure of walking round a dull little gurden with him.

One day somebody heard this conversa- tion between the two comrades.

‘“‘What d’ye call thon tree?’’ asked the |

child.

De Quincey considered and then said, with careful deliberation, ‘‘I am not sure, my dear, but L think it may be a laurus- tinus.’’

The child interrupted him with some scorn: ‘‘A Jaurustinus! Lad, d’ye no kep a rhododendron?’’

MONASTERIES GF METECRA,

4n Extraordinary Scene on the Macedo. nian Frontier.

Between the curve of the Macedo- nian frontier of the mountains of Khas- sia and the open town of Kalabaka, Which terminates the long western plain of Thessaly, lie the monasteries of Metcora. A casual glance gives the idea of the whole space being occupied by lines of bare hills. but on a nearer inspection a curious amphitheater is found, carved out amoug the moun- tains, and this is occupied by a most extraordinary collection of rocks, on which are perched, like storks’ nests or the turban on a Turkish tombstone, the aerial monasteries of Meteora. In one place a huge monolith is found lit- erally crowned with buildings, ag in the case of the monastery of All Saints, popularly known as Haglos Barlaam; in another a group of jagged rocks will have one point capped by a monastery, as is seen in St. Nicholas. The most striking feature about these monaster- ies is the method by which they are reached, either by loose ladders hanging outside the perpendicular rocks or by being wound up by means of a windlass in a net at the end of a rope.

From its beautifel position, its size and the fair preservation of its build- ings the monastery of Haglos Barlaam is a very good specimen of these fifteenth century monasteries, but what makes this one of especial interest is that the rope is said to be the longest used for the purpose—840 feet. The ladders to this monastery are not so difficult to cNiub as some, but inasmuch as they pull owt every time you grip them and oscillate frightfully it is pleasanter to risk the net.

The monastery of Haglos Nikolaos appeared to be in a totally dilapidated condition and entirely deserted when we visited Meteora, while the ladders, which rise from a neighboring peak and hang from the bare rock, are impractica- ble. All these monasteries are under the archimandrite, a man of command- ing presence and saintly countenance. The village of Kastraki is jammed in between the outer rocks of this curious amphitheater, and in the slit of this rocky wall at the back of the village stands a most peculiar hourglass look- ing monolith. The rocks on either side are perforated with strange holes, which in the fourteenth century were inhabited by the monks of St. Anthony. —London Illustrated News.
