A Useful Possc.s,on.

What would the fair woman do
without that useful little implement,
the hairpin? If she buttons her
shoes she uses her hairpin, and who
eve saw a woman button her gloves
with anything else? Suppose Il coin
drops between the bars OF a wooden
foot grating of an omnibus. Does
she soil her fingers as Il man would,
and then not get it. Certainly not!
Out comes the hairpin, and the coin
is lifted out without trouble. If her
shawl-pin is lost, where so good q
substitute as the hair-pin? If she
eats a nut does She take a pair of nut
crackers? Most assuredly not. The
hairpin again.
1t is with the hairpin that she rips
open the uncut leaves of Il book or
magazine; it is a hairpin with which
she marks her progress in her favor

missing, a hairpin opens the refrac-
tory lock as neatly as Il burglars
skeleton key would; and the feats of
hair dressing that she will make Il
simple, bow-legged hairpin accom-
plish nearly surpass the belief Of
man. Altogether, it deserves to be
classed among the great inventions
OF the world.

also mount by the step, but the pedal
mount is the prettier way, is to put the
left foot on the left pedal when it is high
up. AS 1t goes down take n few steps
until it reaches the lowest point in it's
revolution and begins to go up again.
At this instant lift yourself from the
ground and into the saddle. The proper
time of dismounting by the pedal is to
wait until the left pedal is about to rest.
Then bear your full weight on it. This
acts as n break and stops the wheel.
Step off as you dismount from u horse.
Always mount and disnount from the
left side. This advice is applicable only
to Buys and men. Ladies' wheels are
SO built that they can be mounted and
dismounted in a simpler way than the
one just described.
The two positions in riding-the good
and the bad-can easily be understood
by any one who has followed what I
have just said. In the one the rider is
erect, alert, ready for any emergency,
and he can ride for hours without firing
himself. In the other the rider is un-
graceful and not in position to do fast
or easy riding. When n rider is about
to fall let him remember to turn the
whee in he direction he is falling. II
to the left let him turn the front wheel
sharply in that direction. This stcadies
him and often prevents an accident.

An Who Walk May Ride.

The modern bicycle had it's origin in
Europe. Michaux, a carriage repairer
Of Paris. conceived the idea In 1856. and
after sundry experiments he fitted rude
cranks and pedals to the front wheel Of
q hobby horse, im~provised the veloci-
pede and put his invention before the
public. Shortly after Michaux's ex-
periments Pierre Lallement, of Paris.
conceived the idea of a better equip
ment Of pedals and cranks. This in
ventor, after trials, was sue.
cessful in attaching more practical
cranks and pedals to the v%elocipede, and
to him Is given the credit of the inven-
ton of the bicycle.
Calvin Witty, Of Brooklyn, virtually
introduced the wheel in this country.
His attention was drawn to the bicycle
through a machine brought v in 1863
by the w~ell-known acrobats, the Han
Ion brothers. Through their persua-
siOnsh he secured patents on the Hanlon
model and began the manufacture of
the bicycle. Patents had been secured
by some others prior to this, but Witty
purchased them all. He was the first
American citizen to ride a wheel in this
country. Upon putting the first con
Segment of wheels on the market the
idea struck popular favor, and he readily
found purchasers. At the outset of his
venture he was unable to supply the
demand for wheels, and cleared In prof

tracer was sent along the road, but
the casting could not be found, and
Carnegie, Phipps & Co. ordered an
other one to be made. Several days

while walking near Columbia, Lam

Upon investigation it was found to

\ new kind OF revolver recently

two inches from the disk, and the

subsequent roller skating craze was
nothing compared to it. The wheels
We're manufactured in all parts of the
country n Witty received a royalty.
These machines retailed for 500 to
S125, and were very cumbersome affairs,
weighing 100 pounds and over. Only a
few of them are now in existence.
The improved racing wheel of 1868, of
WHY'S, was the first ratchet motion

tions of the wheel. The wheel was we'll
constructed of strong wood with steel
tires. n the front wheel was slightly
larger than the rear ne. The first at
tempt to tighten the weight of the ma
chine was successful by about ten
pounds. The first bicycle race ever run
in America was won on one of these ma
chimes March 90. 1869. When Witty
got possession of his first model it was
minus trcadles. The only way to use it
was to use the feet as Il means of
who could maintain his equilibrium was
all right, but upon a level stretch there
was no possible way of keeping the ma

soon discouraged the sport. Compare
