WHY BICYCLES ARE PLENTY.

he Crop Is Being Sold by Installment, So
Every One Can Buy.
The democracy of the bicycle lies not SO
much in the vast number of riders as in
the diversity of capital represented. Peo-
ole who never owned or expected to own a
horse now sport the most approved ma
chimes. They are, for the most part, people
whose appearance and calling would indi.
cate a struggle for existence.
Where do they get the money to invest
in q wheel or indulge in the sport at allf
one Is tempted to question, in encounter
ing the army of wheelers on every side. A
bicycle calls for some hundred accessories,
more or less essential, if not imperative, tc
safety or comfort. Then if the steel steed
has not the physical cravings Of the horse,
It Is at least constantly mourning acct.
dents. When a rider is not settling an &C.
count in a DOCTORS office or an a%pothecary
shop he is likely to be discussing tires In a
repairing emporium.
The installment company anticipated
this perplexity. The general vogue of the
bicycle in New York has unquestionably
been precipitated by a manufacturer who
sells a wheel on one years time. For 8

er asks $50. The purchaser deposits the
extra IS IS a guarantee. The remaining
SIS is then divided by 10, leaving q
monthly installment of IS. IS. Before the
wheel leaves the establishment, however,
the purchaser must sign a legal agreement
and secure for indorser Of same a property
holder whose property MAJ be reached by
process of law. This secures the manufac'
turer from all loss. At the expiration Of
the year the purchaser finds himself sole
owner of a good wheel for about the same
amount Of money he would have expended
had he rented a machine for the sam
length of time.
The costume is another outlay. A goo(
cycling suit costs at least SIS, not includ
ing leggings, 'leatiler stockings" sweat
or, gloves, etc., which easily swell the sun
to $25 or $50.

The Origin of Horseshoes.

The earliest form of the horseshoe was q
leather boot worn by heavy warehouses;.
The ordinary warehouses; Of the Greeks,
Romans and Persians went unshod, though
methods of hardening the hoof were occa-
sionally resorted to. The very earliest rec
ords Of metal horseshoes is found in a
manuscript Of Pope Leo vi, who died in
the year Oil A. D., but it is known that
they were used at a much earlier date as
real metal shoes of that character have
been found in tombs known to date back
to the sixth century. The Oldest oriental
forms of horseshoes were circular in shape
and fastened with fianges, which clamped
the sides of the hoofs.-St. Louis Republic.

worth, "the Indians have a native dog,
large, savage and shaggy, which goes by
the name of coyote. These dogs are much
larger than the prairie wolves Of that name
and look much more like the big wolves of
the plains. They are, however, and very
plainly, nothing but dogs, and you can Sc

life every method of amusement is resort

say very popular. Everybody but the
chaplain always goes to a dog fight, and
the mere intimation that a dog fight is
pending is enough to hurry everybody
through his business, so that he may be
foot loose to attend. On one of the steam
boats which used to ply up and down the
Alaskan coast the officers had a bulldog
that weighed about 35 pounds, and whose
mission it was to drive way dull care.
Whenever the boat stopped, they would let
Jack-that was the dogs name-out on tho
wharf, and Jack would tackle the first dog
he came to, and then there would be a
fight. Jack was a great warrior and won
all his battles. And so fond was he of
these martial affairs that whenever the
came began nearing its pier Jack always
crowded very %anxiously to the front at the

which we called coyotes.
"There were no preliminaries when

LACK OF EASE IN CONVERSATION.
How to Remedy This Lack of Ease by
Practice In the Home Circle.

How to Remedy This Lack of Ease by
Practice In the Home Circle.
There is one great reason for this lack
of conversational power-in too many cases
the art is never practiced inside t. , home
circle, writes Louise Royle in The Ladies'
Home journal. No attempt. at pleasant
converse is ever made save when visitors
are present. The various members of the
family may gossip II little or discuss pure.
~ personal affairs, but they maxi no at
tempt at entertaining talk. In point Of
fact, the art Of conversation is like a game
of battledoor and shuttlecock-one needs
the %quickness and dexterity Of constant
practice. In many busy households the
only general gathering of the family is at
mealtime-a time above all others when
worry should be banished, if only for the
sake of physical comfort. Yet this is the
very time when the mother will complain
of domestic worry, the father Of business
cares and the daughters of shabby frocks.
All this should be changed. 1t ought to
be a rule in all households that disagreea-
bles are to be banished ut mealtime. If
complaints must be made, let them come
at a proper time, but do not imperil your
digestion by eating while you are in al
irritated and disconnected frame of mind.
Pleasant talk relieved by al occasional
laugh will be more beneficial than pounds
of pills. In the household there should moi
only be an avoidance of unpleasant topics
but an attempt to find agreeable ones
Each member OF the family should come
to the table prepared to say something
pleasant. Any bright little story or merry
joke or any bit Of worlds news that will
loosen the tongues and cause animated
talk-how it will increase the brightness!

profound discussion-it should be JUS

To Clean Black Lace.

A very excellent method Of washing
black lace is to put in a small basin of al
cohol and to press and squeeze it therein
until clean. When 1t is taken out, it
should be pressed between the hands, the
edges carefully pulled in place and then
laid upon sheets Of paper under a heavy
weight until it is quite dry. It should
never be ironed. Some people use coffee or
beer for the purpose, but the economical
woman finds that alcohol is far the best
Vogue.

rails is of the reverberatory type, thir- ty-f1ve feet long, with grates on each side at each end. The furnaces are fired with bituminous coal, green" fire being used, and forced by blast from beneath the grate. Above the grate the flames meet a hot blast to increase the combustion. This blast Is treated by passing the cold air through a heater in the furnace and meets the flames before they pass the bridge wall. The amount of air is regulated by a valve in the cold air main, the propor- tion of air to be directed between the cold blast beneath the great being de- termined by the valves and placed in the pipes just before 1t reaches the fur mace. The length of the furnace being thirty-five feet leaves distance of two and a half feet between the ends of the wall and the furnace doors. This insures the rail from contact with air that might enter by the doors and therefore prevents loss of weight by ox- idation. r s In this process it is absolutely neces- sary to heat the rail uniformly, and the length being thirty feet, it was quite problem to do this. However, by the construction of the furnace and the | handling of the fires, this has been ac complished very satisfactorily, and the rail on leaving the furnace is of a ini- | formly cherry red, about twelve hun- dred degrees Fahrenheit. It was also
 desired to roll the rail at as low a | temperature as possible, in order to prevent undue oxidation and better the character of the steel. About ten rails are charged into the furnace at one | heat and the time of heating is about fifteen minutes, but it is expected to
 reduce this to ten minutes.
 After the rail has been heated 1t is
 run to the rolls. Before entering the
 rolls it meets two revolving wire brush es that remove the scale. But two passes are made; the first eompressing

4 coon SC8OOL TICKET.

Those who made the school ticket which is composed of Messrs. Stoddard, Farnsworth and Asher did a good piece of work. They also did piece of work which will find ample and conquering favor at the polls. It is a good thing for the schools that MT. Stoddard is willing to devote his ability and his at- tention to their service. He is very sound. clear-headed and pub1ic-spirited man, and thoroughly in sympathy with all that tends to raise the general average of intelligence and education in the community. His superior skill and capacity in business matters will be very useful to the district, and his habit of having an opinion of his own and be- ing ready to express it and stand by 1t will be helpful. Of course he has not sought the nomination, and member ship in the board will mean for him extra work and extra care that he might we'll wish to avoid. The district is to be congratulated on the fact that he is willing to serve it, and the vote given him will doubtless show hearty approv- al of his public-spirited action in con- senting to take the nomination.
 The rest of the ticket is also all right. MT. Farnsworth has distinguished him. self by refusing offices that carry with them both honor and profit, and now consents to become a candidate for en office which Is not profitable, which does not bestow any overwhelming amount | of honor and which carries with it much unselffsh work for the public good.

 has shown a great deal of skill goot judgment and tact as member of the Board of Education's Committee or | Schools He is we'll entitled to re-elec tion, and it is greatly for the interest of the district to re-elect him.
