ABOUT BICYCLES.

There can be no doubt that tho bicycle
is rapidly increasing in popularity. 1t
is sport that attracts fine class of
people recreation for men and gen.
tlemon, not an excuse for rowdyism by
"roughs." For years "wheeling" has
been popular in France and England.
Tho bicycle has become London "con-
stituton," Gentlemen go to and fro
mounted upon it. 1t is used alike for
business, exercise and pleasure. Nor
is its use confined only to men. The
fair sex has taken kindly to that modi.
iication of it known as the tricycle.,
particularly since the Queen herself
patronized it. An English dealer in
tricycles states that since Her Majesty
purchased for her own use a tricycle.
two years ago over five thousand Of
these vehicles have been sold to ladies
throughout England and Scotland.
The bicycle, though so popular in En-.
gland, is properly speaking French
invention, and has grown or been dc.
veloped out of the old velocipede,
which about o century ago attracted
tho earnest attention of no less q scien,
tifc body than the French Academy.
l--Fhore have been all varieties of We.
locipedes introduced at different times
and by different porsons-velocipedes
propelled by the hands alone; veloci-
pedes worked by springs, by cranks,
by pedals, by levers, by cords and pull
leys. Over thirty distinct kinds Of
velocipodes have had their day or are
still in existence but the fundamental
idea of the true velocipcde still remains
as at the beginning, C., a vehicle
with three wheels propelled by both
hands and feet. OF this velocipedc the
modern bicycle (Which is, properly
speaking, not over ten years old has
been heprincipal modification and i'm
provement. Tho bicycle differs from
the velocipedo in having bat two
wheels one very large, the other very
small, and being propelled entirely by
the feet.
In the bicycle the weight is carried
and the power is applied precisely as
in the act OF walking your wheel
which carries you and which you
move is directly under you, not to one
side by you. You do not pull, you do
not push-you simply, as 1t were, walk
on wheel. Consequently TO all in.
tents and purposes Won are merelv

CHANGING TEXTBOOKS.

That the too frequent change of
textbooks is an unwise and useless ex.
penso all will admit. And yet, it is
just as apparent that retaining books
in the schools after they have passed
their day Of usefulness is equally un-
wise and detrimental to the interests
OF education. No mechanic can turn
out as good work in as short time
with an old set OF tools, as he can with
the improved implements OF the day.
Neither can the pupils Of our schools
advance as rapidly or thoroughly while
using the books which have served
their day in our schools, as when they
have the benefit of books better adapt
cd to the progress of the age. To re.
tain the old ones in our schools, becauseit
incurs an additional expense to change,
is about as wise as il would be TO
smoke our eyes out over the old fire.
place in preparing the dishes for
modern table because it costs little
more to place convenient cooking
stove in the old chimney corner. Much
discretion, however, should be exer-
cised in displacing an old series for the
new, and the responsibility of chang.
ing should be entrusted only to those
having the ability to judge Of books
merits and an extensive knowledge Of
the needs Of the school room.

R0SOR AND EDUCATION.

Poets have sung, orators extolled
and historians chronicled the blessings
of education. But notwithstanding its
undoubted good, it does not seem to
be the panacea for euery evil. Learn
ing and fraud are found existing in
very close quarters. Wisdom and EN-.
bezzlement often sit down together in
the council chambers of the Nation.
Still the schools are regarded as the
safeguards OF our liberty and eduoa.
tion the hope of our Nation. This in
consistency is proof that in developing
tho mental faculties of our pupils with.
out training the moral nature and in.
stilling into their minds the principles
of truth and honor, education is only
a means in their bands for carrying
out selfish ends. The principles Of
honesty and integrity should be taught
along with the principles OF arithmetic
and every other branch of knowledge.
The impress received during school
DAYS is never lost, and there is no pc
riod Of life so opportuno for teaching
honor.
First, place pupils upon their own
honor as a matter of discipline. Show
them its value and let them sec that
you have implicit faith In the individ.
ual honor of each one. Reject every
means of discipline and motive to study
not founded on the strictest integrity.
Be truthful and friendly with them
and you will find that love and kind.
ness will win the obdurato and en-
courage the obedicnt far better than
force and threats. Trickery and false.
hood cannot be practiced long either
in private or public life without being
detected. "Houesty is the best poll.
Cyl" and while ii is not according TO
the highest principles of honor TO teach
honesty for the sake Of policy, il is
better TO teach II for policy's sake than
not TO teach ii at all.
II is not necessary TO set apart
certain time each day to lecture on
honor; but opportunities will arise in
recitations, during general exercises
and on the playground for giving prac-
tical lessons in this noblest trait Of hu-
man character.
Teachers should be honorable them.
selves, and then along with their other
instructions teach honor TO their pu-
pills by prccept and example. Educa-
ton thus enobled by an answering
honor may still be landed TO the skies
as the harbinger Of untold blessings TO
all mankind.

over the pole obliquely, has in it a
