Dark or Light Blue ?

Her brothers were both down at Oxford,
AT Cambridge her lover had been;
With him she's TO go to the boat race
The first one that she had e'er seen.
Her brothers wrote 'Put on our color;
Her heart wanted Cambridge to win;
And her lover stood laughing softly
At the puzzle her mind was in.
snow what shall do, pray?" she asked him:
81 long to wear Cambridge for you;
But the boys will never forgive me,
If don not the Oxford blue
"Then wear it, my darling-bc happy;
The boys will be pleased, and too
Though your dress be the Oxford color
Your eyes will remain Cambridge blue:

TRAVELLING ON WuEELS.-Thero has lately
been ct the permanent exhibition at Philadsl-
phia secondary exhibition in the shape OF
newspaper carrier, who travels about the build
iog at the ratc Of twelve miles go hour. Now
o mile n fvo minutes would bo remarkably
GOOD time FIR any but very last horses but this
man is said to make his twelve miles az hour
easily, The secret of "hs shoes OF swltncss.
os the old story books would sag, IS that affixed
to his feet is pedcm0tor. The machine SO
called is described as consisting 'ol 'cur tough,
light wooden wheels, supplied with an outer
rim of tough 1udia rubber. These wheels arc
secured 10 frame the shape CT the bot, which
is strapped tn the pedal eXtrem!tles IN the usu.
al manner. Uulikc r.licr skates, the wheels OF
these little vehicles are not undcr, but arc.
placed on each side Of the !1ot thus giving the
Tcarer n good standing aI we'll aq sclld ioo:~

ame!cr, while those in front arc but two and

and when in motion has much to do ia lupelI
inc the pedestrian for ward" No more effort.
it is said, is required in the use OF the machine
than 10 ordinary waIkug. The wight Of it IL

wearcr of pedomoter takes his regular stride
''he is amazed" were ere told, "to ind hlm
self skimmiug over the ground so rapidly and

| explained:
"A man whose stride Is thirty two inches
will traverse forty eight iacbes, or one half
! further with the psdomotor. This is because
/ the body is in constant motion. For Instance,
| the traveller starts, and while he raises one foot
to step he continues rapidly onward until the
foot is set dow and the other raised to make
another step. This gives him more momen
tum, and away he goes over two miles 10 the
sametime it would lake him 10 accomplish {
uils with the feet. No effort of the body il
r, ,quircd for their use, as 10 skates. The trav
e er simply plants orc foot before the othc
and .6ols himself whi,z,d aloog at lIVe'!
rate" -,
The prediction is hszlrded, moreover, tha
at an early day Everybody will bo sklmmln
