Bicycling In Denmark.

The fat little country Of Denmark
is a paradise for wheelmen. One of
them who is visiting in this country,
says: 'They say everybody in the king
dom Of Denmark rides a bicy Gle That
is stretching things a little, but still
the Danes are very fond of cycling and
the wheel is in great demand there.
Out of Il population of 2.225,OO0. at
least $4,000 are riders, among them
sex. In my native city, Copenhagen,
10000 of the 100000 inhabitants are
devotees to the sport. The young farm
ers are among the best riders we have,
one of them winning 360-mile road
race from a field OF thirty cracks last
year. For many years the Danes have
competed with Norwegians, Swedes,
Germans, Dutchmen and English, and
have had varied SUCCESS In 1889 Bran

was distinctly visible, while from under
the canoe the frightened sal1non-trout
were swimming seaward in such num-
bers it seemed as if it would be difficult
to drop a stone into the water With0u>

From the time we started was puZ-
zled to guess what the Ainus could be
taking thirty dogs with them for. I
was soon to find out At n certain
point all the men and dogs came to a
halt. Half the men and dogs then
moved farther along the waters edge,
about two hundred yards.
at a concerted signal the dogs were
started from their respective points,
and swan straight out seaward in sin
gle file in two columns. At q wild,
sharp cry from all the Anus, the right
column wheeled left, and the left col
iumn wheeled right, until the head Of
each column met. Then, at another sig
nal, all of them swan in line toward
the shore, advancing more and more in
crescentic formation.
AS the dogs neared the shore, increas-
ing numbers of fish appeared in the
shallow water, frightened forward by
the splashing Of the advancing column
Of dogs, which, as soon as their feet
touched bottom, pounced upon the
fishes as quick Us flash.
The animals promptly brought the
fish which they had seized to. their mas
ters, who cut off their heads and gave
each dog the head which belonged to
him as his share OF the catch. The dog
who caught nothing got nothing.
I believe this dog-driu Of the Anus is
entirely unique. It is all the more re-
markable, too, as the dogs, many Of
which have been captured from the for
est, are still han-wild

are they here? 1t isn't that they are not
here. They will not lower themselves to
become the tools of another. They dc
not propose to be corralled like so many
animals. They would rather keep away
than lose what manhood there is in them
They only ask for work, not charity, anc
to be paid for that work and not bC
