A BICYCLE AMBULANCE. An lewa Darter latent* A Valuable Al i-ni r*r Ihe Dr. H. L. 'let!., of MarshalUown, la., ha* invented a simple contrivance, consisting of a bicycle with an ambulance attachment. The stretcher is fastened *e.curely, but easi- ly, to the top of the bicycle frame, and the wounded or sick person lying on the stretch- er may theu be safely and with very little exertion rolled along, eilher a plane or an incline, over *>eps and "its, rocks, and < TUB WAY. decliv:lie*. withou. bein^ shaken or other wise inconvenienced to any appreciable xtenl. The frame to which the stret- cher, is fastened is made of aluminum, thus being very light and yet durable, and this frame may be lowered or inclined al- osl at any anf,l*.

Enormous mm* have been paid a* salvage money to the rescuers of ocean steamer* when they are disabled at sea, and prob- ably this is a more fruitful source of expense to the large companies than any other.

ROYAL LITTLE FOLKS. fte*e rieaanBl ll*Me mt Ihe BglUh KM, ,1 l.ll.lll 1. The letters of Charlotte, Lady Can- ning, who was a personal friend of Queen Victoria, afford some pleasing glimpses of the English royal family, when the princes and princesses, some of whom are now dead, and the others married people with children ot their own, were a jolly, simple and friendly group of y >ungs'.ers, who won kindly interest trom their elders every- where. "The children are as merry as grigs," she wrote from Balmoral, " and I hear the I'rinc* of Wales and Prince Alfred, who live under me, linging away, out of lesion time, a* loud a* they can." In a letter ftom Windsor to her mother ah* says, " Prince Arthur is really a mag- nificent child, and the queen is quite en- chanted to Hod he is bigger than the keep- er's child at Bilmoral of the sam* age, whole measurements she carefully brought back. He has the royal look I have heard grand-mamma U!k about, and which was so remarkable ia the queen when a baby. This child now runs about and climbs on chain, and says two or three *ords." Still more plsaiing is the account of a little perlormanc" got up by the children in Windsor Castle before a small but ex tremely friendly and appreciative audi- ence.
