The Bicycle.


It was very interesting to learn by
Weston's help that man can travel $50
miles in IA hours, but it is not less WON
derful, and it may be far more useful, to
learn that a man, using no other motive
power than nature has given him, can
cover more than twice the distance in
considerably less time. That fact was
demonstrated at the recent bicycle match
in London, when the winner, in 6'days OF
IS hours each, covered the enormous dis
tance of ,404 miles, and the second man
made only IA miles less. Scores of 200
miles day were made SO often, and by
so many men, as to be scarcely worth
mentioning, hut the winners 26l miles
in single period of Is hours, or at the
rate of nearly 15 miles an hour, makes the
future and the past possibilities of per-
sonal rapid transit, 50 to speak, compare
very much AS the creeping of a child
contrasts with his stride as a man. Ii
these men had kept up their travelling
for two days more, only the lack of a
solid road-bed would have prevented
their keeping company with the swiftest
steamer across the Atlantic, and they
actually did cover within those l0S hours
the distance of a crows flight between
London and Constantinople. With the
aid of this "iron horse" man may make
the "round trip" over twice the extreme
length of the British Island in less than
week. or translated into distances fa-
milar to us, it would be child's play to
go on bicyle to Coney Island and back
bv road in an afternoon, or to Albany
along the beautiful banks of the Hudson,
in a day. That such comparisons as as
these are not mere flights of fancy will
easily be believed when it is learned that
the machine is regarded in England more
as useful tool than as curiosity or a
toy, that country doctors and pcstmen
use them on their rounds, and tnat nc
less than 10000 have been made and
sold. On such a basis of experience as
these facts give, it is asserted that the use
of the machine does not cause disease, as
was once thought, and that any one,
even the weakest or the most tlmid, may
use them, as, with little experience,
this novel mode Of progress becomes
as easy and natural as walking, with the
pleasant addition of delightful exhila,
ration caused by the sense Of power and
the rapid rush through the air. During
the match above noticed, for instance
contestants habitually ate and dranl
while in motion, and sometimes "seemee
to doze"-but it may be doubted whether
this was when going at the rate OF a mll'
in four minutes. In Boston and Sal
Francisco, bicycle riders are not infre
quent, but in this city they are yer.
scarce, and probably will be so as long a
the Park authorities, with a possibly wis
caution, absolutely forbid their use. Ba
if the powers that he would permit bicy
Gle riding within certain limits, the.
would soon learn how much restraint i
necessary to insure public safety withou
it too far denying an innocent relaxation
to class which would probably soon be

A young man of bashful appearance
went into the County Clerks Office at
Nevada City, last week, says the Tran
script and, after considerable hesitation,
divulged the important fact that he
wanted marriage license. He STAN
mered out the required information for
the blanks in response to the Clerks in
ouiries. The license was handed over the
desk to him and he paid the fee. He re-
turned with disgusted look on his face,
and handed back the document, and said
he wanted the money returned he had
paid for it.
"Why so?" asked the man with the pen
over his ear.
"Well, it's just this way" said the
young fellow indignantly. "That piece
of paper amt worth goll darn, and !
want my money"
"What's the trouble with itp' queried
the Clerk, more perplexed than ever, as
he observed that it was made out in usual
form.
"Well, her old man won't honor it.

Boston Traveller.]

The Herald editorially announces this
morning that, during the campaign, "the
laughable salliances in the career of the
cock-eyed man of destiny will be touched
up by the pencil of the caricaturist and
by the pen of the chief of American po-
litical humorists" We trust that neither
the Herald nor the caricaturist, nor the
"chief of American political humorists'
whom we take to be Hon. F. W. Bird
will dwell too exclusively on the "cock-
eyed' funny business. Let them not for
get that General Butler, besides being
cock-eyed, is bald-headed, has lost two OF
his front teeth, and can't raise good
beard to save himself.

FARMERS COLUMN.


The art OF watering plants is poorly un-
derstood by a majority of those who culti-
vate indoor plants. The following, by a
writer in the american Garden, may help
TO throw light on the subject:
"To water window plants at the right
time and in the right way, is no less impor-
tont than potting them properly. The re-
mark is made by careful observer, in the
fore part of the season, that her plants
need very little attention-'they never get
dry Then towards spring when they are
growing fast, she says, 4 am hardly able to
satisfy my plants, they absorb such guam
tity of water In the former case they are
weak, trying to rally and. build themselves
up afresh. In the latter case they are hun
CRY and robust, and assmulate nutriment
rapidly. 'But give us a rule says the am
ateur. There is none; no rule can bo given.
Watering requires all ones powers Of obser-
walton, thought and common sense, to per-
form properly. NJ. Van Houtte once re-
commended, in the case of a greenhouse
shrub, that it have plenty of air and intelli-
gent waterings. No one can tell how much
or how little plant may need. The near
est approach TO a golden rule that have
seen, is given by one of our leading florists
"In proportion to the vigor of a plant
should its food be supplied
And this accords with the statement al.
ready made. Numerous maxims might be
quoted from professional gardeners to EN-.
phasze the suggestions have presented in
regard to watering, and potting also. One
says, 1T is very difficult to get small plant
to grow and live in large pot Another
remarks, "a rose will not bloom much uu-
til the pot is well filled with roots. The
same may be said of many other plants
therefore, small pots facilitate quick bloom
0ver-potting and over watering are not the
only sins against plant. life, for too much
dryness will kill some things outright, and
over neglect 10 water often proves fatal tc
the plant The mysterious collaps of q
Chinese primrose in winter, and of PLEA
serpentifUlia, is doubtless cause by the des.
truction of rootlets through frequent dry.
ness, there not being enough heat and light
for the plant TO renew quickly those vita
tissues. Hence we cannot exercise to much
care"

Bee Feeding and Diseases.

In the latter part of winter, and early in
spring, many apiarists experience consider
able trouble and loss from dysentery Of their
bees. The presence of this disease is known
by seeing dark discharges over the hive and
combs, and the offensive ordor therefrom.
The cause is either sour or fermented honey,
improper food, or too warm and poorly ven
tilated quarters. An eiiectual cure may be
made by giving the bees good capped honey,
and allow them to take a flight, if the
weather be not too cold. If, however, such
is the case, take the hive to a warm room,
and fit box made with front and top OF
wire sceen or mosqueto netting to the en-
trance to the hive, so that the bees will have
to enter it on leaving the hive. In order to
keep the colony strong, and to stimulate
breeding, it is advisable to feed early in the
spring; or if their stores are insufficient
feeding pays early in the fall or winter. A
good quality of coffee (A) sugar reduced tc
the consistency of honey, or extracted
honey, is good for feeding; but let us warn
the bee keeper against feeding glucose, oil
the poorer grades of sugar; either is certain
death to the bees. A pound of the coffee
sugar or extracted honey per day is quite
sufficient to stimulate colony in the spring
In giving the food to the bees, either fol
outside of the hive or inside feeding, pro
cure and use some good bee feeder; sucI
will be found the most efficient, as well a
the most economical Western Rural

Condensed Milk.

There are many receipts for preserving
milk, among which are the following: %
Add sugar, evaporate to one-fourth, solder
in cans. (2) Add carbonate of soda and
white sugar, evaporate to dryness, cut into
cakes. (3) Add sugar and alkali, evaporatc
to dryness; crush, powder and bottle. a.
Evaporate to half; beat up white ofegg;
simmer, skim, strain and boil. (5) Carbon
ate of soda one-half drachm, water one fluid
ounce; dissolve; add fresh milk one quart,
sugar one pound; reduce to sirup in steam
bath, and finish the evaporation on plates
in an oven. Borden's process of fcondensing
milk is protected by letters patent. The
usual process of evaporation is to place the
milk in large shallow pans, each having a
pomp TO exhaust the air The water is
driven off by steam heat of about 100 de-
grees. When the desired condensation is
attained; sugar is added, if the product is to
be preserved beyond few days, and other
chemical agents, according to the process.
Pure milk condensed to one-thfrd will re-
main sweet from five to ten days in warm
weather. At the works of the Aylesbury
Condensed Milk Company 200 persens ale
employed, and the milk of 200 cows is
daily evaporated. The milk is brought in
tin cans by the surrounding farmers is
tested by taste, smell, and the lactometer /;
partially evoporated in vacum-pan, mixed
with sugar, and finally condensed until its
original proportion of water, 81 per centum,
isreduced TO % per centum. The condensed
liquid has a semi-aud consistency, and
gives, under analysis, the following consti-
tuents in 100 parts water, 25.lO; butter,
ll.7Sj caseine, l5.l7j milk sugar, 1924 !
cane-sugar, 20.46 ash, $50. In a German
process the milk is not condensed but, as
fresh drawn from the COW, is placed in cans
or bottles which are filled nearly as full as
possible. Immediately Theoretically closed
and placed in a bath of water, the tempera-
ture Of which is then slowly raised TO be-
tween 100 and 40 degrees, and kept there
for greater or less length of time according
TO the period during which it is desired to
preserve the milk. The fire is then with
drawn, and the bath allowed to cool down
slowly. Thousands of gallons of milk are
daily prepared in England to supply the
demand in the army aud navy, and foreign
consumption, as well as for family use il
do nestle markets.
