WEEELS AND WHEELNEN.

As means Of developing the body from
Uranium to other extremity, by most en-
joyable exercise, the bicycle cannot receive
too much praise.
Pembroke wants one or more companion!
on trip by bicycle from Salt Lake t.
Paris, Idaho. The only railroad riding will
be over the cambridge between KaysvillC
and Ogden.
The cost of a bicycle is less than that of {
good horse, and after the first expense the
outlay is reduced to slight repairs. A car
f oil and ordinary care will keep one OF
these machines IN readiness for instant use
The bicycle is found in the United States
and Canada, in England, France, Switzer
land, Spain, Germany. Russia, India, South
Africa, Australia West Indies, New Zeal
and, Mexico and South Observation-Disclosures
World, Chicago
Since ii is more economical, more effect
| i've and more attainable Il an horse and
buggy, suiting the needs OF the messenger,
the agent, the doctor, the lawyer, the mer-
chant, the botonist, the surveyor, in their
journeyings to and fro, It takes on the
dignity of modern improvement, and is
entitled to rank with the hundred other
! things which go to make or to keep our
crowded life worth living.
The exercise is pleasant-nay, it is ex-
hilerating, fascinating. AS the muscles
are brought into play, the Il,nd rests, is
recreated. The exercise is nOt excessive,
and cannot become violent; IL is in the
open air, and the rider has increased his
breathing fourfOld. The rider
sits erect with mis- chest expanded and head
thrown back while every muscle III the
body is brought into a pleasant state of
activity, contraction and relaxation sue
cecding each other with each alternate
thrust.
1t is amusing to disinterested party to
hear the agents for the various wheels des-
cant upon the merits of his own, and de-
merits of his competitors machine. In
safeties, for instance, A tells you his
patent spring is softer and easier riding
than BIS. b. tells you that his spring is
more rigid and substantial than AS. G.
tells you the spring is a fake anyhow, that
the simpler the machine, the easier kept in
order, and the longer lived. One praises
the chain which drives his safety; another
the lever. To 90 from one to the other and
hear the dement's of each, would lead one
to think there was not a good one in the
lot The fact of the matter is all the high
grade machines, that is those costing from
S125 upwards, are goOd-any one is equally
as good as another Our advice would be
to examine them all, and judge for yourself.
See that the finish of each little part is
good, and you may be sure the construction
will be good throughout.
The death of the deaf mute trick bicycle
rider John NJ. Stout, reads a lesson be-
tween the lines to every wheelman. We
give a correspondents explanation as it
comes to US: John NJ. Stout, the star
trick bicyclist, who resided at Ripley,
Brown county, Ill, came to his death
about o'clock, March 18th, in an effort to
beat his record for time between Ripley and
Mount Sterling. He had previously made
the distance in one hour, and his attempt
was to lower the time. The road was in
fair condition, but spongy. He stopped at
the residence of Mr.. Means, about one and
a half miles east of Mount Sterling, and
got drink of water. Then he wrote on
sheet of paper Che being deaf mute), that
he was trying to beat the best time ever
made, and was off. A few minutes later he
was found about a mile east of Mount
Sterling, lying in the road, dead. His
bicycle lay in the road about ten feet be-
hind him Both We're lying across the
road Dr. Baxter reached the spot soon
afterward, and upon examination, gave it
as his opinion that the death was caused
by a stroke of apoplexy. When Mr.. Stout
stopped at the Means residence, he was
covered with perspiration, and drank iber-
ally of cold water. The body was taken to
Mount Sterling, and the relatives notified.
Mr.. Stout was married about six months
ago to a lady bicyclist, also a deaf mute"
Mr.. A. T. Fields, one of the leading
merchants of COlfax, Iowa, says that
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the best
cough preparation he ever used and recon-
