be well TO provide that the county central COM
mittees of the three parties receiving
the highest number OF votes at the last
election be required to select the judges Sno
clerks to which their party would be entitled,
and place them In the hands OF the mayors Of
the cities, or township trustees, at least ten
days before the day Of election. This would
place il beyond the power Of any OFFICIAL to
select fneffcent men to act for any other party.
An amendment providing for a square at the
top of the ticket in which anyone who desired
to vote the entire ticket could make cross,
would facilitate voting. 1t would also seem as
though some inexpensive provision might be
made by which the votes could be counted as
they are cast, SO that the result might be an
nouuced in few minutes after the polls are
closed.
Commissioner OF Elections.
The law providing for commissioners Of cleo
lions should be repealed, and the mayor and
council OF cities should h=ge charge OF the

at a much less cost.

YOUR hands are free to guide your
wheel: your body is erect; you do not
then get into the habit of swaying from
side to side to put your weight first on
one side and then on the other; and
YOUR whole muscular movement is
regular and normal. Try riding with
out putting either hand on the handles,
and sitting erect. Ifyou ride well you
can easily keep your balance, and in an
instant you will be in the correct posi-
ton. Once in this position, place the
hands lightly on the handle-bars, and
you will be in a healthy and proper
situation to gain benefit from your
riding.
In riding 10 miles, for intance, l
should never 60 the whole distance at
one pace. Slow, steady riding has its
merits so has sprinting for short dis.
tances. When q good, clear road
looms up ahead, have brush for two
or three hundred yards with the boy
who is with you. These little races
are good things. They quicken your
movements, and they keep you from
forming bad habits, or letting your
body sag into set, immovable positions.
They also bring the muscles into diff
ferent kind of play.
In fact, in bicycle riding, as ir about
everything else, you should remember
that there is right and a wrong way;
that you need not only endurance, but
speed, and that changing from one to
another, keeping up variety, is one
good way of avoiding bad habits

When it rained he would lie down
with his ear to the waterspout and
listen to the music made by the patter

BY the time the war broke out Tom

cloud still remained, and he knew no
sentiment. There was no gratitude
about him, and he was moved only by
music. As stated, he repeated every

vanity. But he hated women, and

Pretty soon the news of the miracu-

The shaft is usually channeled, or
grooved, SO as TO allow the flow of
blood from the wound. Arrows per-
tanning to different tribes may be dis
tinguished by the expert after ex-
animation of the feathering, painting
or carving. Indeed, it is said that in
dividuals Of the same tribe can tell
each others arrows in the same way.
The tomahawk and war club are
hardly used at all. Their place has
been taken by the knife, one or more
being always carried by wild Indian
in sheath attached to his belt. Used
principally for skinning game, these
knives are nevertheless, at close quar-
tiers, deadly weapons of attack or de-
fense. They are also used for scalp
ing.
Scalping is not a religious ceremo-
ny, as many have supposed. 1t is
simply a proof of killing-evidence
beyond a doubt.
1t would seem that scalping is fatal !;
but in itself it is not necessarily so.
Numerous instances of survival, even
when the victim had been wounded in
addition are on record. One spring
day in 1868, Thomas Cahone and Will
lis Edmonston, freight conductors of
the Union Pacific railway, were fish,
ing in small stream near Sidney, Neb.
They were unarmed, feeling sure that
the handful of regular troops station
ed at Sidney would keep off any prowl-
ing Indians.
Suddenly party Of mounted Sioux
swept down upon them. They put
eight arrows into Cahone, one of
which passed under the point of the
right shoulder blade and came out an
inch or two under the breast. Four
arrows were fired into Edmonston.
The scalp proper Of Cahone was
taken by one Indian, while the second
took a piece about by 7 inches from
the left side Of the head. Edmonston
was not scalped, for at this juncture
the soldiers and citizens from Sidney
hurried out and the Indians took to
flight. The wounded men were taken
to the town, where the arrows were
cut out. In 1883 l met Cahone, who
was then a passenger conductor run
ming east from Ogden, Utah. He said
he was in excellent health, having
never suffered from his wounds or the
scalping. He wore q skull cap, as
may we'll be imagined. Edmonston
was at the same time passenger con-
ductor running west from Ogden

THE FALLS OF NIAGARA.-The Nj
agara river extends from Lake Erie to
Lake Ontario, distance Of 80 miles.
1t receives the waters of all the upper
lakes-Erie, St. Clair, Huron, Michi-
gan, Superior, and number of small
er ones. From source to outfall it
has q total descent of 334 feet; but a
greater part of the fall occurs within q
distance of seven or eight miles, be-
ginning with the rapids, two miles
above the great falls, which received
their name-Niagara, meaning the
"thunder of waters"-from the abor-
igines. Their roar, under favorable
circumstances, may be heard at a dis
tance of Is miles.
There are three distinct falls: The
Horseshoe fall-so called from its cres-
cent shape-is by far the largest, and
is in the direct course of the river. 1t
is 1000 feet wide and 154 feet high.
The American fall is ego feet wide,
and the Central fall is 243 feet, each
having fall of 1853 feet.
The water flows on perpetually the
same, full and clear; neither the
SHOWS of winter nor the evaporation OF
summer, neither rains nor drought
materially affect it-exceptilg that
about once in every seven years
there is q gradual rise and fall, which
IS attributed to some undiscovered dis
turbance that affects Lake Erie.
This wonderful cataract is 447 miles
from New York, within single days
journey, and is reached more directly
by the New York Central and Hud-
son River railway, Of which it forms
the western terminus.-Dr. A. \. Bell.

THE OLD FRIENDS

The old friends, the old friends
We loved when we were young,
With sunshine OH their faces,
And music OH their tongue!
The bees arc in the almond flower,
The birds renew their strain
But the old friends, once lost to us,
Can never come again. .
The old friends, the old friends!
Their brow is lined with care
They've flrrows in the faded cheek,
And silver in tho hair;
But to me they are the old friends still,
In youth and bloom the same,
As when we drove the flying ball,
Or shouted in the game.
The old men, the old men,
How slow they creep along!
How naughtily wc scoffed at them
In days when we were young!
Their prozing and their doing,
Their pirate of times gone by,
Their shiver like an aspen leaf
If but breath went by.
But we, we are the old men now,
Our blood is faint and chill;
We cannot leap the mighty brook,
Or climb the brcakneck hill.
We maundcr down the shortest cuts,
We rest on stick or stile,
And thesyoung men, half ashamed to
laugh,
Vet pass us with smile.
But the young men, tho young men,
Their strength is fair to sec;
The straight back, and the springy stride,
The eyes as falcon free;
The shout above the frolic wind,
AS up the hill they go;
But, though so high above us now,
They soon shall be as low.
Oh, weary, weary drag the years
As life draws near the end;
And sadly, sadly fall the tears
For loss oflove and friend.
But We'll not doubt there's good about
In all of humankind;
So here's health before we go,

RIDING ON A WHEEL.

ing Bad Habits.

~ --r-"--"N
The proper position for bicycle rid
er is, inJ.he first place, an upright one.
He should push nearly straight down.
~ar1with his legs-not backward, as
one must do who leans far forward.
His arms should not be rigid and ex-
tended to their full length, but o little
bent, and the handles can be easily ad-
justed to bring this about. The reason
for the bent or slightly bent arm is evl-
dent after moments thought. lfthe
arm is stiff, rigid and extended to the
full length, the "pull" which you give
the handles on going up hill, or indeed,
while running along level road, is a
dead pull. There is no life in it.
Each jar to the machine is jar to
your body, your head and neck, and
consequently, a jar to your whole sys-
TEN. On the other hand, if you ride
with your arms little bent, and act
ing as n kind of u buffer to all jarring
influences, they will save you an lnJu-
rious, though unnoticeable shaking-up
eaCn tllHc you So oul. Inv why ~
in which you will notice change Will
be after you have become accustomed
to the bent arm method. Then you
will find you can ride longer without
becoming tired.
Another feature of this stiff arm IS
the position into which the shoulders
are thrust. Try it; grow little tired
with long ride, and then see where
YOUR shoulders are. You have gradu-
ally come to lean on your arms for rest.
Both shoulders have been thrown far
back your head and neck are stretch
ed far forward, and your chest has, so
to speak, sagged forward out of its nat
ural position. Keep this up long
enough, and you will be a fine looking
specimen.
No; the weight of your body should
never come on the hands and arms, buG
on your thighs, and thence be transfer
red to the seat with the unconscious
springy action of your legs, which in
measure allows some Of your weight to
come on the pedals. In this position
