VelOcIpedes.

THE velocipedes, about which the
Parisians have run mad at the present mo-
ment, are of various kinds. Some have
two and others three and even four wheels /;
all have either pedals or reels on which to
place the feet, and usually either breaks or
levers to regulate the speed. The two
wheel velocipedes, the bicycles as they are
styled, are intended for the male sex only,
and are by far the swiftest machines.
They are usually of wrought iron, and
have pedals or reels attached to the front
or larger wheel, and the working Of which,
by a light movement of the feet, gives the
requisite impulse to the vehicle. The
saddle is poised ON bar of iron suspended
few inches above the top of the fore
wheel The hands rest on a handle in
front Of the machine, which, working on
a pivot, serves as balancing pole, the
equilibrium being preserved by giving a
slight twist to this handle. The break,
which at once stops the revolving motion
OF the wheel, is applied by means of. a
sharper twist. Here are the rules which
one of the most skillful amateurs has
drawn mp for the guidance Of beginners /:

it on slope, and, after mounting il, let it
move forward of its own accord, while
you occupy yourself with studying the
effect produced By the inclination which
you give the balancing pole or handle of
the machine. When you thoroughly un-
derstand the action OF this, place one foot
on the pedal, and follow its movements
without assisting them. The difficulty

sary expenditure of muscular force they

"After an hour OF two's practice the
tyro will be able TO accom- plish distance

ming the risk Of an upset. Should the
machine incline ON one side, all that ia
necessary to be done is 10 remove the foot
ON the same side from the pedal and put
it ON the ground. This can of course only
be accomplished when the Velocipedeis Of

the proper kind of machine for beginners

Desperate Encounter Between a Weasel
and a Snake.

THE following singular occurrence is
narrated by an eyewitness as having
transpired sometime last summer on the
farm of Mr.. William II. Bibbins, in Fair
field. The narrator was spreading hay In
q field, when his attention was attracted
TO q clump of tall grass some little distance,
from which weasel was constantly
springing up In the air. Approaching
cautiously nearer he discovered the cause
of this singular conduct. On little
mound of hay a large copperhead snake,
at least three feet long, was coiled up, and
with head erect, darting tongue and ex.
posed fangs, was watching the weasel, who
was making series of springs at the rep
tile, evidently with the intention Of seiz-
ing II by the throat The snake lodged and
the weasel continued his attack till at
length by sudden spring he caught the
snake by the throat, and a furious strug-
gle ensued The weasel held on, and the
snake wound himself around the body OF
the animal, almost entirely covering It, and
seemed about 20 crush II TO death, when
his weaselship let go his hold on the
snakes throat, and popped" in true
weasel style, out of the oonvoluted en-
brace of his enemy, springiDg at least two
feet into the air. The snake then crawlec
under the mound of hay, and in few mo.
ments the weasel reappeared and crawled
after him, and from the tossing of the hay
a desperate fight seemed to be going on
beneath it. II ceased in short time, and
the weasel came out dragging the suake
after him, dead, with his throat bitten
open The weasel dragged the snake into
q ntighboTing fence, and there they both

The Law and Manners Of the Road.

ALL Of us have ideas more or less correct,
in regard to the law which regulates our
use of the highways; and at any rate good
sense and good nature are usually very safe
guides. A few words on the subject, how
ever may not be amiss.
II is commonly said that every one has
right to half the road This is practical
ly true, and comes about in this wise.
You and meet upon the road-our legal
rights are exactly equal, and both have
right to go our several ways. without OBJ
struction, SO, popularly, we say own half
and you half The law ST ps in to facili-
tate matters, and directs each To turn to-
wards his right hand. This is true what
ever the load or the team for if one can
drive such q team that another can pass
him but with difficulty or at all, then their
rights are no longer equal. This point be-
comes very important in winter, for it Is
no Joke to turn your horse and all into the
deep snow while your neighbor goes
smoothly along the beaten path. No one
has right so to load his team az not to I've
able to give up half the track to whoever
demands II.
! A footman may choose the part which
! pleases him of any portion of his right
hand half Of the way, and the team must
| yield it 10 him. This is clearly SO in win
snow for one or two horses. This S the
law and tine court awards it.
Now for the manners of the road which
in some instances vary from the law there
of.
The first requirement of the road man
ners is good nature and an accommodating
spirit. Do to others as you would have
them do to you. Always be willing to
yield more than half the space, then you
will be pretty sure TO be equally well treat
ed. They who exact inches will have
inches exacted of them. Ifyour neighbor
has heavy load, consult his convenience
as far as possible; you may sometimes be
loaded 1t has become a practical rule of
courtesy to turn for heavy teams especial
ly in winter, and when the tracks are
heavy. But remember it was favor, not
your right, and you have reciprocal
duty to perform, and one which, L am
sorry to observe, is not always borne in
mind.
One word in relation to teams going the
same way, in which case many seem to
think there is neither law nor manners.
When team comes up behind you, that
team has right to reasonable space and
opportunity to pass on-in fact, to half the
road for that porpose-and your obstruct-
ing him in this lawful desire is both bad
manners and bad law. II YOUR load is
heavy, do the best you can. In most cases
the very least that can be asked is that you
should stop. This is particularly 30 in the
winter, when it is heavy tax on team
to force 1t into trot in deep snow, or deep
mud, or frozen and deep ruts-made neces-
sary by your continuing to move on. Re
member the good old aphorism, which can
be so opportunely applied here" Wheel
grease is great lubricator, but good man
ners a vastly greater one."- ErohdH0e

had lost both arms and legs, aud the other
two both legs. They related to Oommo-

Last winter the three brothers started out

snow storm came up and caused them to
lose their way. After wandering about
for hours they were finally showed in"
