HORSE VS.. BICYCLE.
New Board Tracks Likely to Produce a Mile
in 2,05.

No act of any national racing board of
the League Of American Wheelmen has
been more important says the Chicago
Tribune, than the one recognizing records
made on board tracks recently adopted at
the New York meeting. At this early
time of the season it is almost impossible
to guess what a mile could be made In
if circumstances were favorable Just at
present there is considerable difference
between the bicycle record and the pacing
and trottIng record, the former being 2 10
and the latter 2:06 and 2:0S14 respectively.
These horse records, however, were made
from flying starts, while the bicycle records
were from standing start the difference
being all of two seconds.
When Windle made the :15 record he did
SO on as good dirt track as bicycle ever
rode over, but even that was not perfect,
and was, on the record breaking day,
quite dusty. If he made this ride on q
third mile board track, perfectly smooth,
and banked seven or eight feet at the
turns, there is hardly a doubt that he
would have made close to 2:10, providing
pacemaking was good. A fine and smooth
board track is easily 100 yards faster in q
mile than on one of clay, brick dust or any
thing else. This would mean ten seconds
to the yard at pace slower even than a
three minute gait, though, of course, it
would be a pretty rapid gain. To make
2 :05 to the mile is not an impossibility, ac-
cording to w. G. Thorne, if all circum-
stances are very favorable.

The Rich Gold Fields ofGuinea.

Mr.. Brown, al old South American
miner, was exhibiting some fine large mug
gets of gold at the Spokane hotel today,
one of which contained over $500 in gold.
Naturally enough the conversation drifted
to the gold fields where they were found.
Mr.. Brown tells many interesting stories
and incidents connected with his mining
life In that country The placer mine
which he owns is located near Surinam, in
Dutch Guinea. about ten miles from the
coast. Although this claim is not as rich
as many others there Mr.. Brown took out
about half ton Of pure gold. He says he
has seen nuggets that would weigh 400
ounces, which equals about 5000 coined
dollars.
at is the richest gold field in the world, y
said he, ''but it takes capital to prospect it.
No one should attempt to go there without

perlence. l spent about SIS, 900 in pros

natives to carry your food and baggage
when out. The forests are almost i'm
peneurable, and you have to work your
way very slowly. The country is very
warm, being only four degrees from the
equator, and the earth is very damp, so
you are compelled to carry hammock TO

the dense mass of foliage to the moist
earth, which makes it miasmatic and I'M

The land there is very easily and
cheaply acquired. The government charges
cents per hectare (swo and one-half
acres) for the first two years, 10 cents for
the third and fourth years, and 20 cents per
hectsre for every succeeding year of occu-
patton. The quantity of land that one man
may own is unlimited, and several compa-
MES now control hundreds of thousands of
acresn
Mir. Brown makes visit to the Guinea
gold fields every year, and always brings
back quantities of the bright yellow metal.

USES FOR ROSE LEAVES.
How to Make Pot pourrl and Rose Pillow.

A pot-pourri, If rightly made, will last
for years, and an occssionsl uncovering of
the jar will fill room with delicate odoI
which will linger there for hours, says an
exchange.
Spread the rose leaves upon a sheet to
drG, and if tossed up lightly several times
the moisture will soon disnpprar. Arrange
them in layers in bowl, with sprinkling
of fine salt between each layer, using a
proportion Of three handouts of leaves to a
small one of salt. Fresh leaves and salt
may be added to this for several mornings
and then the whole should stand about ten
days, with thorough stirring up once or
twice day during the internal.
Transfer this stock to a glass fruit jar,
mixing with it two ounces of allspice
coarsely ground, and the same of stick Gin

three weeks closely covered. Now mix

bruised and shredded, and g few grains of
musk, II tuat of fine xuality is obtainable.
few drops of oil Of rose, geranium or vi

in oriental shapes may be bought for res-
sonsble sum, and the sizes vary from those
holding pint TO the huge ones which stand
two or three feet in height. Those in the
coarser kinds of Imariware are probably
the least exp O nsive, and in Gaia and Owa-

SOME yA1uABE pREcEprs.

Here are the thoughts
Never wear your walking shoes in the
house; have pair of ties or slippers.
Never neglect to sew up rip or button
on. Remember the stitch.
Never leave your shoes under the bed.
They gather dust, besides fostering a
siovenly habit.
Never forget TO dust off your shoes be-
fore putting them away.
A little linseed or sweet oil well rubbed
into the leather about once week pre-
vents the leather cracking. Whenever
you have the misfortune to wet your feet
don't despair. Fill your shoes with
oats, which will help absorb the
moisture and preserve their shape. When
nearly dry rub with oil, and the next day
your shoes will look as well, and mayhac
better than before their wetting. The oats
may be dried and saved for the next time.
Above all things else don't neglect the
heels. At the first evidence of so-called
running over' have them repaired. You
will save the shape of your shoes, but more
important than that the uneven poise of the
body would give rise to numerous back
aches and muscular strain, all of which
may be avoided by timely visit to the
shoemaker.

HAVE SHOES ENOUGH.

The first idea that presented itself was
that one is likely TO have too small stock
of shoes at the outset. 1 know many
families where pair of shoes and one Of
slippers, with perhaps a very shabby pair
of old ones, are ell that Is considered neces-
sary. And these are not families where
every purchase is carefully considered be
fore INDUCED in.
The shoemakers are always singing the
same old song: 1.-TWO pairs of shoes bought
at or near the same time will lust longer
than three bought in succession"
Like every other material, leather re-
quires holidays in which to gather together
it's particles which wear has separated
So, if you alternate your shoes, you will
find a marked difference in the length Of
time they will wear.
OF course similar articles may and will
wear differently with different persons
And that is very evident fact when you
are considering shoes.
To make your shoes look well just as
long as there is any wearing quality left in
the leather requires some labor. AS the
proverbial stitch in time saves nine, so
many thoughts in time may save dozens Of
shoes,
