BICYCLE EXERCISE.

HoY to Derive tho Greatest Amount o.
Good From Use Of the Wheel.

ponds wholly upon the incentive 70,
riding it. II the machine il used In

sities. 10 rules need be laid down. a
The practical rider will always 60 about

path. he will need no outside advice ~
to the hOws and wherefOres Of this
branch Of the sport. Those who ride
for pleasure. for tho sake Of the exer-
else. or to got away from the din and
dirt of the city's turmoil, however. may
frequently gain a hint or two from the
experience Of others. and looking ut
the matter in this light. l shall be glad
to give very briefly my views upon the
subject.
There are two methods Of using a
bicycle for pleasure, the first for the
mere exhilaratiOn and excitement of
self-prOpulsiOn. ut u brisk pace. either
for physical development or to reach a
given point within q given time; the
second for the more quiet enjoyment Of
every thing that pertains to outdoor
life and nature. l find pleasure in both
forms of the exercise. and think that y
combination Of both cOnduce to the best
results. There is an excitement in q
thirty-mile dash over good roads that
must be experienced to be fully appre-
ciated. My usual gait in accomplish
ing such a run is from nine to ten miles
an hour. with absolutely As few stops as
possible. The first ton miles are always
the hardest; then the muscles sti1fen 70
their work: one gets his second wind.
and even the hills grow less difficult,
and in my experience it is less fatigu-
ing to pull a stiff grade by logged per-
~sistence. and to rest in the saddle after
wards by sauntering for half q mile,
than to dismount. I never drink q
drop of any thing or the road II it Tan

This ballot is printed on the insid.

This ballot is printed on the inside
pages of a folded sheet. 60 that when
the voter has marked the names rs
above indicated tho ballot is folded up
and is so passed in to be deposited in
the ballot-box. There are many pro-
visions of the law to adapt the ma
chinery Of voting to this system. but it
is not necessary to mention them here.
What has been said Is enough to show
how men will vote. and that is. for tho
general public, the important thing.
Now what will be gained by this
change of system. in the interest Of
purity of elections and good politics7
Many things. First, there can be no
ballot-bOx stufing. since each voter
will receive only 0ne ballot. and that
one will be numbered.
Secondly, the ballot will be really
secret. as it ought to be. and every
voter will be free from intimidation.
Again, each voter will be secured
against the fraud Of forged and pur-
pOsely incorrect ballots. snd q heavy
blow will be dealt to the practice Of
trading off one part Of the ticket
against another. which is one of the
worst forms of electoral corruption by
party workers"
Once more, the corruption Of ballot
distributors and workers at the polls
will be destroyed completely. and men
may hope to vote freely and in peace.

How to Prevent Forging.

There is no driver of q horse but tina.
has felt the annoyance that results from
forging. or the striking of the forward
shoes by the hind ones in travelling.
and yet this can be prevented. The
occasion Of the forging Is. the hind feet
m thrown forward and strike the for
ward or front feet before they can got
out Of the way. q result of the action of
tho horse. which must be corrected,
which is explained in Artistic Horse
ShOeing." and which is accomplished
by using q heavy toe-weight shoe On
the front feet to make the horse reaca
further. After the front shoe has be,a
nailed On. take q rule and measure tbs
distance from the cOrOnet to the bottom
part Of the toe, observing the Sian. OF
the foot Measuring the hind foo. in
the same way. in most cases it viii, ,,
found to be from One-quarter to on.
inch the shortest. and the shOrees the
foot the quicker it can be raised. Now.
BY placing the shoe upon the hind foot
90 that the toe will project enough -
make the distance from the coronet 10
the bottom Of the toe the same ~ in
the forward foot. and then let the shos,
project we'll behind. making it a little
heavy, the foot will not be raised a,
high, it will not be thrown as far for
ward. and 50 forging will be prevented.
This Is . simple procedure. and n
that can BE- ordered by any farmer who
70 troubled with forging in his horses.

y EMPLOYMENT.

4 Young Man D0cllnes to Serve ~ Me0-

A verdant young man visited an Aus
tin (Texas) express Office the other
day. and inquired If they wanted a man
20 run as messenger on the railroad.
The boys hadn't much to do that day.
and they concluded to have a little fun
with the rustic. They said they were
looking for the right kind Of a nan to
put in charge Of IN express car on .
new line that had just been opened
through q very dangerous part of Tex
as, but that they must first test his fit-
ness for the position. They wanted to
know whether he had the necessary
nerve to Withstand the shock of q col
lision or to resist train robbers. He
said he believed he had the nerve, but
they might test him in any way they
thought proper.
Then they put him into a c~rockery
crate with q lot of s~t0ne-cOal. old stove
plate. coupling irons. broken railroad
lamps and water coolers. and rolled
him down stairs into the cellar. This
they told him. was to see how he would
behave when Topped down al embxnk-
ment in IN express Cal. He stood the
lop very we'll. consider. ng that he was

As he was endeav0ring to crawl out,
they dropped a box Of merchandise
marked '-Glass-handle with care"
down through . hatchway on top Of
him; and during the confusion incident
to disencumbering himself Of the
debris. four masked men jumped on
him with slung-shots, and then bound
and gagged him, pistols being dis
charged In close proximity to his head.
meanwhile. Then they chucked him
into an empty comm box. stood him on
his head and yelled ''fire!"
An explosion of dynamite immedi.
ately followed, which blew the box
open and drove the WOULD be messenger
through a two-inch partition. When
they dug him out he appeared to have
grown twenty years older during the
c~ivil-service examination. He said he
knew it wa q hard life running express
messenger on q Texas railroad. but he
had no idea that it vas a. rough n
that. He added that he didn't think

WEAVING LAMBS.

to do it properly. When separated
from the ewes they will worry less ii
retained in the field where they are ac-
cust0med to run and the ewes removed
out Of hearing. For a few days the
lambs should be confined in a covered
~inclosure and fed a little hay and grain
and then be turned out to pasture TO-
ward evening. to be taken up again
next morning; otherwise the worry, the
loss Of their milk diet and the annoy
ance Of flies will cause them to shrink
visibly and it Is always bad to have
growth checked. The ewes should be
turned into a clean" pasture until dried
up. and they should be examined every
day. for it might be necessary to relieve
the udders Of some by milking.
Many allow the lambs to u with
their mothers continuously. but it is an
unwise practice. The latter need to BE-
freed from maternal cares. whether

six parts. all fitting into each other
and making it possible to carry four or
six articles separate from each other.
All this was discounted by the fellow
who got up a pail in which the coffee
could be heated by alcohol at IN OK

&C., ii Il hundred OF
readers eve mad a.i opportunity to OBJ
serve an election In which the grossest
forms OF corruption and fraud arc
p~racticed. These evils are at tho
worst in the slums of great cities.
A voter approaches the polls through
a thrOng of rOwdy- Observation-Disclosures
and ''ward-heelers." He is beset by
these men who offer him ''tickets" and
follow him up until his vote has been
deposited. In many cases the ballots
they offer are fraudulent. For whilo
Republican Ticket" or Democratic
Ticket is c~onspicuously printed upon
the ballot, or more names. perhaps
all the names, are different from those
of the actual candidates. and a person
casting one of these ballots votes for
men whom he does not wish to bo
elected.
This is only one Of tho several evils
which have led to an agitation in favor
of the 'Australian system" of voting.
which, with notifications. is that en-
ployed in England and in Canada. At
least two States of the Union have nOw
adopted the principle. and laws to
change radically the method Of voting
will go into effect rs soon as the neces-
sary arrangements can be made.
The principle is. after all. q very
simple one. All the ballots are printed.
not by parties, but by the State. and
they are all alike. Each ballot con-
tains the anne of all candidates nOm-
mated. and the names are arranged in
alphabetical. order. In order to vote
for a candidate, the person puts n cross
;opp0site that candidates. name.
For example, in Massachusetts,. tho
Legislature of which State has passed
a law introducing this system. the bal
lot. or a part of it. will look something
like this when it is ready to be voted:
