IN Switzerland we could do very little
riding. as most Of the places we went 10
were very wild and hilly. The ROADS
around the lake at Geneva, however,
were very good and we derived much
pleasure from them.
"As the wheels OF our party were al

ton. we had no trouble whatever with
them on the GERS. and sometimes when
there were with us some cyclists who
belonged 20 the League Of French Wheel
men, we had them carried free.

I have noticed that a few cyclists have
attempted riding on the Missing Link

as the track has not been rolled, ana

be lifted just before the crank passes

Very few things make a wheel run
easier than lubricatng. With the King
of Greece riding a bicycle, surely, II
there is any virtue in a name, this is
one wheel which should always be well
fabricated.
one Of the many evils of scorching is a
very dry mouth. Anything kept in the
riders mouth. like a piece of toOtnplc6 or
a pebble, contributes to Keeping up the
secretion of the saliva. 4 dry mouth and
throat oblige the wheelman to drink
often. and a large quantity of liquid, Of
whatever nature il may be, ends by de-
bilitating or irritating the stomach.
A very unpleasant accident in riding a
wheel is the mishap OF getting stung by
some insect To some persons 1t results
in nothing more than a singing pain
which soon passes off. In most people,
however, it Is much more serious. On

A southerner's Bravery.

more rabid secessionist or a more popu-
lar man in California than Charlie Fair

Of Lord Fairfax" said City Attorney
Creswell yesterday. HE was man OF
such undoubted courage, such scrupu-
lous honesty and such distinguished
courtesy that his violent prejudlces
against the north were forgiven before
they were expressed, and his open de-
clarations Of disloyalty forgotten as
soon as spoken.
while the clerk of the Supreme Court
in Sacramento he engaged in an alter
cation with a man named Whltcomb
Lee. without warning Lee drew a
sword cane and made lunge at Fair
fax. The keen blade penetrated his alb
domen a couple of inches before he
could seize It, Fairfax held the blade
with his left hand while he whipped out
a revolver with his right, and with the
sword still in the wound. he leveled his
pistol at Lees head and said in the cool
est tone:
Draw that sword and put 1t up.

gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man

Saunders & Co, of London, offering to
build on the lake fac smile of the
transatlantic steamship st. Louis, to be
of the same size as the original, and ele-
gantly fitted out. The interior Of the
ship will be used as restaurant, and
the vessel will be reached from the
shore by gangways. This is a duplicate
of an exhibition now being given at the
Antwerp exposition. Henry G. Kilt

Outdoor Games and Sports INDUCED In
at Frontier Posts.
An enlisted man serving on the from
tier has opportunities for sport that
would be envied by hundreds of wealthy
men, especially in the way Of hunting
and fishing. He plays all kinds Of out
door games, Is regular in his habits,
has stated times for meals and for
sleep, which all tend to the development
of his physical powers and the training
he receives straightens his frame and
gives him an easy, upright carriage
that never after leaves him until old
age lays the weight of its hand upon
him. The post exchange is fitted up
with billiard and pool rooms, lunch
counter and card-room. Only the best
grades of beer are sold there, and
drunkenness cannot exist under pres
ent restricted rules. A pleasant room
Is always set aside as a reading-room,
where current newspapers are on file,
and in addition to this, each company
usually maintains a library. A post
school is maintained for six months Of
the year, where he who wishes may inn
prove his mental condition. He is pro-
yided with excellent clothing, which
when altered to fit neatly, is the nat
test uniform known. A drunkard or
other questionable character may pos
sibly creep in among the men enlisted,
but he is soon Spotted" and, under
the law that five previous convictions
by courts martial are sufficient to
award dishonorable discharge, he Is
soon gotten rid of. 1t is creditable to
the army that all men now serving in
the ranks, except possibly few left
over from the old army are capable Of
reading and writing the English lan-
guage-that is, in limited sense.
