For Those Who Ride Ricycles.

Ladies who ride the wheel can be count
ed by the hundreds, but that their ranks
are rapidly increasing is an assured fact.
OF those who ride many do so gracefully,
but there are some, not few, who sit their
wheels in manner so ungainly as to draw
the attention and comment of the passerS-
by, thus hindering the use of 'cycles among
ladies to great extent
Now, any lady can look well on wheel
Ii she will land knows howl, but the trou-
bic seems to be that a great number are
turned out of the riding schools too soon
without the proper instruction, the finish
ing touches of their cycling education be-
ing in most cases entirely neglected, and it
is a shame that such is the case. At these
schools the pupil is taught to struggle
about in yard (much too small in many
cases) and mount and dismount after a
fashion
Here their instructions seem to come to
an end, and just where it is most needed,
for then is the time the rider should be
taught to ride with her saddle well forward
and with handbar so arranged that she
will not have to stoop to grasp it, nor have
the bar so high that she is made to bunch
the shoulders. Nor should she ride with

knee is too marked, or with cranks so short
that nearly all power is lost by having too
little leverage.
The beginner, of course, cannot see her
self, and if she did, without the proper in
structions, would not know how to ride
more gracefully.
If my sisters who ride the wheel will re-
member these few hints they will be sure
to look well
Have your saddle well forward over the
pedals, sit erect, raising the handle bar
Just high enough so you may grasp it easily
without leaning forward, using six-inch
cranks for country riding and five-inch for
city, and use the ankle movement, keeping
the knees well Washington Star.

LITTLE THINGS IN THE SPARE ROOM.
A Few Articles That VIII Make Your

A Few Articles That VIII Make Your
Visitors Stay More Pleasant.
And that spare room-is it heatedi If it
isn't, have you put a suficiency of clothing
on the hed7 was once visitor at place
where was expected to sleep in the mid
die Of winter, under nothing beyond sheet
and eounterpane. If ! hadn't known of
an old PHYSICIANS recipe for keeping the
feet warm in a cold bed / should certainly
have sat up all night. This simple remedy
is the putting of an extra pillow under the
shest, on that part of the mattress where
the feet will come. 1t is infallible, and
worth remembering. But as all guests
have not such ideas at call, be sure there
are plenty Of extra coverlids in the guest
eoom.
See that the window curtains are prac-
ticable, and that your guest knows how to
manage them. Nothing is SO unpleasant
for q visitor as to be compelled to pin arti
cles Of clothing to the window frames be-
cause the shades won't come down, Or to
experiment with noisily working curtain
fixtures at Il o'clock the night after the
party. Be sure there are the following
articles in the room, however small: Some
good soap, a large jug of fresh water, a

towels, both fine and coarse, to suit all
tastes.
On the toilet table place hand glass, a
pair of small scissors for cleaning nails,
clipping bangs, ETC.; bunch of wooden
toothpicks. SO that your guest can make
use or these necessary articles without Of
Tending your taste at the table. Be sure
the pincushion is well supplied with pins,
and that there is an easy, soft cushioned
rocking chair in the room.
Supply the bed with ienty of pillows.
If any one does not use many they are
easily removed, and some people cannot
sleep unless wen bolstered up. In the
room place bottle of black ink, some note
paper and envelopes, medium sized new
steel pen in a holder. two or three stamps
and postal card or so. But you say, why
should supply my guests with postage
and stationery?
Your guests, I am sure, will always see
that when they leave the stock of stamps
and paper in your spare room is by no means
diminished, and how convenient the handy
supply will be to your visitor when, on the
morning of her arrival, she wants to drop
a line to the folks at home, and has not yet
learned the way to the local postoffice.

had the honor of serving in the
army of northern Virginia under the
late renowned Gen. Robert E. Lee.
Early in the war the nerves of the con-
fedcratcs were somewhat shaken by a
report that the federal armies were to
be furnished with breech-loading rifles,
which up to that time were unknown
in the United States army. All fears,
however, were allayed a few days later
by the statement that Gen. Lee re-
garded such weapons as a serious dis
advantage, assigning as his reason
that most troops were apt to fire at
random and too rapidly, and were
thus in danger of exhausting their am
munition and rendering themselves
helpless at the critical point of the bat
tie. If this applies to breeeh-loaders,
with how much greater force does it
apply to the magazine-rifle? have
no proof that Gen. Lee ever uttered
this opinion, but most execution in bat
tie Is done at close quarters, and my
subsequent experience confirmed the
wisdom of this opinion, whether ex-
pressed by Lee or not. Rapid firing
at close quarters is no doubt trcmen-
dous power, but it becomes impossible
if troops have wasted their cartridges
at long range, when armies are ap-
preaching each other from a distance.
A detached magazine, applicable to
an ordinary breech-loader,w would there
fore seem to possess great advantages
over weapon that could only be
charged from a fixed magazine. 1t
could be attached at the proper mo-
ment by command of an officer, and
| thus a tremendous reserve power would
be insured for the critical moment
