.dition-Election of Officers.
COLUMBUS, O., Feb 18.-The annual
convention CT the officers of the League
of American Wheelmen was held here
yesterday. The session opened early in
the morning and did not close until late
in the evening. These officers legislate
for the wheelmen of America, and what
they do may therefore be presumed to in
terest about coo, 900 people--the estimated
number of Licycle riders in this country.
The convention assembled at 10 o'clock
with President Dunn in the chair. The
roll call showed that ninety-one delegates
were present, representing most of the
states in the country.
The Bylaws Were Amended
so that in case of death, resignation or re-
moval of the president, that vice presi-
dents shall, III order of priority, sue
ceed to the office of president until the an
nual meeting, when president shall be
elected.
President Dunn's report was an able and
exhaustive review of the work accom-
plshed 10y the l.. A. w. year ago. He
referred briefly to the alliance with the
Amateur Athletic union, and commented
on the advantages which had thereby re

SO the league might give to it's recently

gave the magazine circulation of 10000

Finances and Membership.
He believed that during the term of his
in office that the league would
increase to membership of $4,000. The
several recommendations made by the
president were referred to special COM

A Modern Eve.

She took course Of lectures in the simple
art of draping,
And she studied up on fabrics from SCI
entifc point;
She bought dozen bonnets just to learn the
art OF shaping,
And her husband carried bundles till his
arms were out Of joint.
She got up conversation on aesthetic combin-
atoms
That would harmonic exactly with the
complex human eye.
And she grew so interested that the house
fell short on rations,
And her husband went to business on a
feeble hunk of pie.
She studied up anatomy to get the proper
attitudes
And took course Of Delsarte to perfect
herself in grace;
And while she was thus occupied her hus-
band searched the latitudes.
With eyeballs full Of soapsuds for a
towel for his face.
She bought whole tons Of ribbons and a
mile or so of laces,
And ran accounts in shopping till it
ceased to be joke;
But no earthly power could stop her, so her
husband played the races,
In his final desperation, till he shuffled
homeward broke.
Then she wrote little booklet on the
future age Of fashion,
And the other women read it with the
most ecstatic thrills
And while her husband tore around and
worked into passion,
1t brought her in a fortune, and she footed
all the bills. Tom Mason.

Still Another Fad.

An engagement-ring is no longer the
special prerogative of the sex feminine,
but the accepted sutton must also wear
the token that silently yet effectively
proclaims that he has become, as it
were, private property. OF course,
when the lover presents to his fancee
the gem-set circlet which marks her for
his own, opportunity is afforded for
artfully learning the preferences of the
young man in this particular line of
jewelry, and as soon thereafter as may
be he is the surprised (?) recipient of a
love of ring, perfectly suiting his
ideas of what gentleman's ring ought
to be, which is convincing evidence of
their oneness of taste-in matters ar
tistic at least. The favorite engage
ment-ring at present for a lady has
overlapping ends, each set with gem,
a diamond with either ruby, sapphire,
moonstone, or pearl; and for a gentle

About Warm Clothing.

Coarse, heavy clothing does not i'm.
part anything like the same degree of
warmth that soft, all-wool, clinging gar
ments do. This fact should always be
borne in mind by delicate people, as
well as that the extremities of the body
are far more susceptible to cold than
the trunk is. Not only all-wool under
drawers reaching well down around
the ankles, but flannel outside-drawers,
should be worn by all women and girls
who are out-of-doors much during the
winter. The wrists are very sensitive
to cold, and the sleeves of vests or
wrappers should be of good length and
fit snugly. If all women would begin,
when cold weather comes, to take a
fresh-air bath every day, they would
not only feel better, but be put in con-
dition successfully to resist exposure to
drafts or attacks of sickness that cannot
be guarded against. But, whether we
get out Of doors or not, it is as much the
duty of the housewife to bring fresh
air into her home for its inmates to
breathe, as it is to provide them with
properly food and sufficient
clothing.

A Tempting Dish.

"Veal birds" are small, regularly
shaped slices of veal filled with dressing
before cooking. Use slices cut from the
loin, wipe, remove the bones, skin and
fat, then pound them with pestle I'M
til one-fourth of an inch thick. Trim
into pieces two and one.half by four
inches. Chop the trimmings, allowing
one square inch of salt pork for each
"bird," add half as much fine cracker
crumbs as you have meat. Season
highly with salt, pepper, thyme, lemon
juice, cayenne and onion. Moisten
with beaten egg and little hot water.
Spread the mixture on each slice, leav-
ing a little margin. Roll up tightly like
a small jelly roll and tie or skewer in
shape. Dredge with salt, pepper and
flour and fry until light brown in hot
butter. Half cover with cream and
cook twenty minutes, or until tender.
Serve on toast.

A Too Common Character.

The man whose so-called religious
life is influenced by the effect it is
likely to have on his pocket-book, and
whose morality is gagged by the same
sinister consideration, is likely to get
even farther wrong when it comes to
other things. His loud talk of philan-
thropy and friendship is only cloak to
cover his greed, which is ever ready to
fill his pockets, even when it is ex-
torted from the scanty treasures of
those he processes to befriend. In
politics he is with the "boodle and
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS deeds if
not in words that he is I" in the Market"
His principles are not very pronounced
on any subject at issue until he sees the
effect such announcement is likely to
have on his individual finances. In
society-if his wife be refined and of
good family-he may have aspirations
to appear as somebody, and be up about
the top, provided it can be accomplished
without expense. 1t hurts him terribly,
however, when society's demands make
it absolutely necessary that he should
thrust his hand down in his own pocket
and part with few of his boarded dol
lars. AS neighbor he is good to him
self always, and good to his fellows
while he has an "axe to grind " and
can use them to Lis own profit; but let
them stand in the way of his ambition,
and he will sacrifice them as cheerfully
as Josh Billings would his wife's rela-
tons for the prosecution of the civil
war. AS he grows older his avarice in
creases upon him, his friends become
fewer, his pile-the only consolation of
his declining years-grows larger, and
when death causes his grasping hands
to finally loose their grip on his treas
ured gold, and his body is laid away to
return to other dust, his family, while
trying to put on the semblance of
mourning, are consoled with the
thought that, though his course in life
has been TO him means of eternal loss,
they can now have the privilege of en-
joying the money there is in it.

What French Girls Study.

Before we consider the subjects
studied in French private school there
are two things to be borne in mind.
First, the element of stability in a
school girls life. She enters at five
years of age, sometimes four, the school
room where she will remain till her edu
cation is finished. Her teachers know
her from earliest childhood, they watch
unfold. They understand her capaci-
ties. Perhaps her mother has been
trained in the same school before her,
or she may have relatives among the
nuns. AT any rate, she is their child;
they know and love her, and they lay
the foundations of her education as
well, for they are responsible for the
whole structure. They have this end
in view from the beginning. They
lead her up gracefully from one thing
to another. They calmly lay out for her
courses of study embracing five, six,
ten and even twelve years. There is
always plenty of time and no hurry.
Things are taken quietly and gone into
deeply. The school terms are longer
and school life is less broken into by va
cations than with us. The girls study
more hours week and more weeks in
the year than we do. School opens the
last week in Septe mber and does not
close till the second week in August.
There are no spring or winter vacations
and no Saturday holidays. Six weeks
in the late summer and few days each
at New Years and Easter, all Sundays
and the principal church holidays, and
usually half holiday on Thursday, are
all the breaks made in school life, which
goes on almost uninterruptedly in slow,
healthful regularity for ten months and
a half cut of the twelve.-Atlantic

The Professional Life.

Mothers often err in wishing their
sons to become professional meu-to
go into law, medicine or the church.
If the son has such natural gifts that he
may seem particularly designed for a
professional career, it is we'll to encour-
age him in such aspiration. None but
those in the professions know the trials
and difficulties that surround such life;
the years of waiting that make the
heart sick, and innumerable failures
in professional life. While the physi-
clans and lawyers who acquire wealth
and fame are few, the number who
hang on the ragged edge of want and
are failures is many. Many of the
brightest men in these two professions
fail because they are not adapted to
them and, late in life, learn that some
thing besides mere brains are required
to succeed in any calling. If young
man enter the law, medicine, or the
church, with the expectation of leading
a life of comparative ease, the scales
will fall from his eyes before he has had
many years. experience. We are sorry
to see mechanical trades discounted by
the present generation of youth. For
this the young ladies are responsible to
large degree; for many nose goes
into the air at the mention of the fair
owner accepting the attentions of a
young man learning a mechanical trade.
Whatever else parents may do with
their boys, observes the Doylestown
(Pa.) Democrat, they should be taught
to work. The records of the future
will always show that the greasy young
mechanic or laborer of to-day will fill
the exalted places of the land to- morrow

Neat EARNINGS.

To darn rents in wool goods, always
use rawlings of the material, even if
these threads can only be obtained in
short pieces; and do the work finely
evenly and closely, no matter how often
the needle has to be threaded. If any
difficulty is experienced in threading
the needle with a soft wooden thread
touch the latter at the end with little
beeswax to stiffen it and bring it to a
point. This darning should be done on
the wrong side of the garment, so the
ends of the threads and the edges OF
the rents will be invisible. By using
the Rawlings an exact match in the
color and fineness of the threads is Sc
cured, and both trouble and expense are
saved.

A Good Concert.

Put piece of white aintstone into
the midst of the fierce fire. When it
is red, or rather white hot, take it out
with pair of tongs, and suddenly drop
it into a pan of cold water, which should
be ready for the purpose. This will
destroy the power of adhesion in the
flint, and precipitate the stone to a fine
powder, from which the water must be
carefully poured off. Now melt white
rosin in an iron pot, and stir the flint
stone powder in it till it becomes a
thick paste. Warm the edges of the
articles to be mended, and join neatly
together.
