a certain extent, but the saddle Is supported
by a backbone connected with the rear wheel
only, and leaving ample room for the skirts
between the saddle and the front Wheel and

and the skirts arc protected from the chain
or other attachment which communicates
the motive power from the pedals to the
wheels by a wire or sheet iron guard. A

plays no more of her ankles than in walking.
Agood costume for women riders is described
In Cassell's Magazine thus;
1.-THE gown must not DO over two yards in
width. or 1t may catch in the wheels; 1t must
be g~uiltless Of steels or other dress improving
arrangement; 1t must be long enough to
touch the instep as 1t reaches the lowest
pedal. 1t must be made plainly and neatly,
with no floating flounces or frill. A color
calculated to withstand dust and grease is
the most sensible wear, and jewelry, colored
ribbons, artificial flowers, etc, are entirely
out Of place. Shoes should always be worn,
and tho headgear should be chosen with a
view to wind, sun and possible showers"

your elbows will be thrown in toward your
body and your shoulders will be thrown
back. Drop or "cow horn" handle bars
are considered preferable 10 the straight for
many reasons. Under no circumstances get
in the habit OF riding with your palms over
the handles. It brings the shoulders forward,

To lean forward, as racers do, is bad form on
the road. 1t is awkward, unhealthy and
dangerous. Don't do it.
Another thing which should be mastered
early is the science of ''coasting." This con-

consequence for you are certain to land right

AS AN EXERCISE
Contrary to the very natural superstition,
bicycle riding is not merely exercise for the
legs In fact, nearly every muscle in the
body is called into activity while riding, and
the beginner almost invariably feels tired in
the muscles about the trunk, particularly In
those at the sides Of the abdomen, before he
does in the legs.
Safety" and climbing" bicycles
have become common during the last year
or two. They have some advantages over
the big wheels, but there are many riders
who prefer the latter and will probably
stick to their preference. The safeties have
two wheels OF more nearly an equal size.
The speed given by the greater cLrcumfer-
ence OF the large wheels is made up for by
a multiplying device in the ~safeties- OF
course mounting and dismounting from the
low machines is a comparatively simple mat
ter, but as much care should be given to the
position rs Is necessary on the high wheels

the other way. II 1t persists in tipping give
tho handle bars a sharp turn in the opposite
direction. Unless IL has gone too far that
will save it. II n novice goes at the matter
intelligently and thinks the why Of 1t out be-
fore he mounts the wheel two or three trials
ought to give him fuE control Of the equilib-
rum OF his machine.
MOUNTING n
The next thing to learn is to mount and
dismount quickly and gracefully. A rider
should practice until he can get on and off
without much trouble before he ventures on
any much ~frequented streets. The simplest
way of mounting is Of course best for the be-
ginner. Grasp the handle bars with both
hands and get directly behind your wheel
Put one foot on the mount, step and hop along
on the other until you are under o odheadway.
Then rise on the foot which is on the step,
and with the other catch the pedal asi comes
around on the upward turn. With a little
spring to aid 1t, the pedal VIII swing you into
the saddle. The mount just described, how
ever, should be only resorted to by begin
ners 1t best it has a tendency to be awk-
ward and is slow and unsatisfactory.
The next mount to learn will not be diff
cult after the first has been thoroughly mas
tered. Walk on the left side of the machine,
with both hands on the bars Without break
ing step cross the left foot in front of the
right and place it on the step. Then swing
the right leg around behind the backbone
, 1889-09-17

and to the pedal on the upward turn, rising
with the pedal, and sliding easily and natu-
rally into the saddle. Another, and by all
means the best, is known as the pedal
mount" Walk on the left side of your ma
chine as before, but place the left foot direct
ly on the pedal as it comes up. ignoring the
step, and throwing the right leg over the
backbone of the machine. This is the quick
est and most graceful way.

Dreams and Coincidccnes.

While staying in your good city last
week read i'm The Globe-Democrat an
account Of curious condolences con-
nected with dreams. Strangely enough,
a night or two afterwards, as l was COM
ing east on sleeping car, dreamt of
meeting friend, lady, whom l had
not seen for seventeen years, and in the
morning l sat directly opposite this very
lady in the dining car / had not
thought of her, but who will say that
her presence in the next car did not
have some subtle influence over my
dream the night before?
Speaking of dreams, / will tell you of
another one, of ludicrous nature, not
many weeks ago. l dreamt that was
a boy again, and was engaged in the
rather common juvenile diversion in the
country of robbing farmers water
melon patch. Just as was i'm the act of
making off with one of the finest melons
in the patch saw the farmer approach
ing, with dog and gun. In vain did |
tug at the melon, hoping to get over the
fence ahead of the advancing dog. The
barking of the brute awoke me, and
i found myself pulling with all the en-
ergy at my command at the head Of my
15-months-old baby, which i had mis-
l.iken for watermelon, and whose cry
had filled my dull ears with sounds like
the barking of dog. The poor child
had been dreadfully abused, and l re-
solved never again to sleep in bed with a
baby.-A. NJ. Heston in ST. Louis Globe

BorncIc Acid as n Preseryative.

Boracic acid only acts when present in
large quantity. 1t prevents the growth
and multiplication of germs, but does not
kill them even in a l per cent. solution.
Experiments with milk gave very unsat-
isfactory results, as an addition of per
cent. boracic acid only preserved the
milk for four days. Horsenesh may be
preserved for six weeks by the use Of 8
per cent Of the acid. Boracic acid il
supposed to be harmless, but recent in
vestigators, including the author, prove
it to be dangerous, as it strongly acts
upon the mucous membrane of the large
intestine. A dose of four gramnes killed
very sick.
The acid is much used in Sweden for
preserving fish and milk, but cases Of
poisoning have already occurred in that
country. Long continued use of the acid
is not favorable to good health, and at
all events its addition to milk should be
prohibited Chem. Zeitung,

A Fight with an Eagle.

L. G. Brinkman, clerk in the supply
department of the Burlington and Mis-
souri, in this city, while hunting shot a
large eagle. The shot broke the birds
wing, but left it otherwise unframed,
and when he went to capture his prize it
made spring at his face, and had he
not warded it off with his arm his eyes
would have been put out by the savage
bird. AS it was it gripped his arm, and
despite his efforts to free himself he
could not shake the eagle off. Calling
to his friends, short distance away,
they came and killed the bird and then
pried its claws out of the flesh of his fore
arm and leg, which were badly lacerated
He was helped home by his friends and
medical assistance summoned. His arm
was badly swollen. The eagle measured
eight feet from tip to tip.-Des Moines

Looking Ahead.

A story is related of the late +. r. De-
lano which is quite characteristic. When
the veteran railroad man was lying at
the point Of death he made a dying re-
quest. He said to the attendants at his
bedside that he wished them to see that
strips of oak be nailed to the bottom of
the pine box that would contain his cot
fin. Il realize" remarked the dying
man, THAT Oakland cemetery will have
to be abandoned as place of burial
some day, and all the bodies will be
taken up and moved away. Now,
don't want my bones dropping out of the
box all over the city while they are
carrying them off to another cemetery,
and so I'd like to have you make the
box strong enough to hold them" 1t is
understood that the somewhat odd re-
quest was complied with.-St. Paul
