OF the scheme. He uses ten-foot mast
and an eight-foot boom and fastens the
mast in a head block. This block must
not be fastened to the handle bars, but
must tie bolted to the joint below the
elbow, as this allows the free use of the
handles to direct the wheels course.
The cost of the whole outfit, including
q nice sail, ought not to exceed $40.
1t requires but very little practice to
become an expert in handling the sail,
and with favorable wind the speed
ought to be about thirty miles an hour.
AS matter of course, great care must
be taken in sailing along the country
roads. While scudding under stiff
breeze the rider might suddenly bring
up against some startled nag or irate
bull, which might have serious re-
suits. Many of the later improvements
in cycle sailing tackle dispense with
the boom entirely, and simply carry a
triangular canoe sail of generous pro-
portions rugged on an exceedingly

Thanks to the Bear.

Almost hundred years ago two
young men who lived in a Kentucky
fort went out to look for a strayed
horse. They wandered hither and
thither through the woods until, to-
ward evening, the,' found themselves
in wild valley six or seven miles
from home. Here the younger of
them, Francis Downing by name,
fancied that he heard the swapping
of twigs behind them. Some Indians
were logging their footsteps, he be-
lieved. His companion, Yates, treat
ed the matter as a jest, and offered
to insure Downings scalp for six.
pence.
Downing was not satisfied, and
finally, as he continued to hear the
suspicious noises, he fell behind
Yates some twenty or thirty PAGES.
and at a favorable spot sprang sue
denly aside and dropped into thick
patch Of huckleberry bushes. Yates,
who was singing, continued his
course, and was soon out OF sight.
Almost at the same moment two
Indians pushed aside the stalks of a
canebrake, and looked cautiously in
the direction that Yates had taken.
Poor Downing, fearing that his own
movements had been observed, deter
mined to fire upon the savages, but
in his nervou sness-he was hardly
more than a boy--he let off his gun
without taking aim.
Then he started to run. Very
soon he met Yates, who had heard
the report, and had FASTENED back to
see what was the matter. The enemy
was now in full view, and the two
white men ran for their lives Yates,
who was the faster Of the two, would
not leave Downing in the lurch.
The Indians gained upon them
steaCly, till they came to deep
gully. Yates cleared it easily enough,
but Downing, being pretty well ex-
hausted, fell short, and after striking
the farther bank, dropped to the bot
tom. The Indians meantime were
crossing the gully little farther
down, and seeing Yates making off
ahead, they took chase after him.
Downing crept along the bed of the
gully till it became too shallow to con-
ceal him; and then, looking up, saw
one of the Indians returning, evident
ly to look for him. Again he took to
his heels, and the Indian followed.
All hope of escape was dying out Of
the young fellows heart when he
came to an overturned poplar
He took one side OF it and the In
dian took the other. Just then the
Indian yelled. A she-bear, it ap-
peared, was sucking her cubs in
bed which she had made near the
roots of the tree. She greeted the
Indian with hug, and Downing did
not tarry to see how the interview
terminated. New hope put new life
into his legs, and he reached the fort
in safety, where he was welcomed by
Yates who had arrived two hours be-
fore

MEMS SOCIETY CLOTHES. Y
What They Should Wear When They Go
Out on Pleasure Bent.

Women generally know how to
dress themselves and their children
for most Of the functions" OF society.
But they are often sadly perplexed as
to how their husbands should be at
tired. Beyond knowing that men
should not wear evening clothes be-
fore o'clock, their ideas on mascu-
line garb are vague. And, as they
frequently have to decide the Ques-
tion of what their lords and masters
shall wear, it would be wise for them
to read, mark, learn and inwardly
digest the following facts:
At 2 o'clock weddings, known as
morning weddings, which are about
the only early festivities to which a
man can be dragged, the bridegroom
wears dark-striped trousers, double
breasted trock coat, undresSed pearl
gray gloves, white four in-h hand, tall
hat and big boutonniere. The ushers
are similarity attired, and the mas
culine wedding guests who aim to be
correct, wear clothes OF the same
general fashion, though, Of course,
the style of their ties, gloves and
boutonnieres is not prescribed by
law. At all fashionable morning
affairs this uniform, with some in
dividual variations, is correct.
In the evening, OF course, evening
clothes are necessary. This season
prescribes a three-button, plain shirt
front, a straight, stand-up collar,
either black cloth waistcoat or
double breasted, four buttoned white
one. No jewelry is worn, and pearl
gray gloves, stitched with black, are
considered in best taste, as are patent
leather shoes. York World.

ton, indeed if it can be practically
demonstrated that man in riding this
contrlvance can use his arms as effect
ually for a driving power as he can
his legs. Aside from this advantage
there will be an opportunity for the de-
velopment of as formidable biceps as
there is now of calves.
When it comes to speed this new
machine is a marvel; there has been
nothing in the way of hi, tri, or any
kind OF cycles that have approached it
for swiftness. 1t is claimed that with
a VALERIE handled by an experienced
rider the average speed will be about
thirty-seven miles an hour! If all or
even half OF the wonderful things
promised for this new machine be true,
we can look forward to complete
revolution of bicy cling.

The Wise Men of Gotham.

AS King John was passing through
the village of Gotham, on his way to
Nottingham, he proposed to make a
short cut across the meadows. The
villagers, thinking that whatever
road a king took thenceforward be-
came public road, objected, much
to Johns annoyance.
Shortly afterward he sent some
messengers from his court to learn
the cause of the villagers rudeness.
Hearing of the coming of the kings
servants, the villagers hiu upon the
following plan Of turning aside the
monarch'S wrath:
When the messengers arrived, they
found some of the inhabitants en-
gagged in trying to drown an eel in a
pond; others were busy rolling cheeses
down a hill, SO that they might run
to Nottingham for sale, while a third
set were employed in placing hedge
round a bush on which cuckoo had
perched, in order that they might
enjoy perpetual spring.
The kings servants thought they
had come among village Of fools,
and, having reported what they had
seen, John formed the same opinion.
and troubled himself no more about
what he considered their incivility to
him. Hence people have talked about
the wise men," or "the FOOLS" Of
Gotham.
There was much wisdom in their
folly, however. There is to-day, so
it is said, a bush growing on the site
of the one wherein the cOokoo

Windmill Power.

Inventors are hopefully seeking to
compel the wind to perform more
important share Of the worlds work.
TO encourage their efforts, the
Netherlands Society for the Promo
tion of Industry offers gold medal
and $50 for the best paper on the
use of windmills and electric accu-
mulators for supplying power to
factories. Points especially to be
considered are the average energy
common windmill can produce in
conjunction with storage batteries,
the installation most suitable, the
cost per horse power hour, and the
economy Of the system on large
scale.

A Good Judge.

A cattle dealer arrived in Paris the 9th
or day, with the intention of having his
portrait painted in oils He applied to an
artist near the Madeleine and in conclud-
ing the bargain dwelt strongly on his
wish that the likeness should be striking
and unmistakable. The painter promised
that it should be so
Indeed" he added, "I will appeal to
the most disinterested Judge possible-to
your own bulldog. We will show him the
picture and see whether he recognizes
you."
Accordingly when the picture was fin
ished it was brought into the dealer S
lodging, placed on the floor, and the dog
was called in. He instantly ran up to
the portrait and began to lick 1t, wagging
his tail and showing every sign.of delight
ed affection. The grateful dealer, con-
vinced of the accuracy Of the likeness, in
stantly paid down the sum demanded by
the artist, quite unconscious Of the fact
that the ''counterfeit presentment" Of his
