Not Adapted for Carriages,

From the American Machinist.
1t is not as generally understood as 1t
should be, perhaps, that bicycle wheels
seldom or never are subjected to lateral
strains. They need to resist only those
strains which pass through their own
plane, and in this plane only have they
any strength worth speaking of. This
is worth remembering when the use of
wheels of this type is being considered for
three or four-wheeled vehicles, where the
conditions are essentially different, and
where, in turning corners rapidly, or in 60
ing over ground that causes the vehicle to
be inclined sideways, a very considerable
lateral strain may be brought upon the
wheels-a strain which the ordinary BIZ
cycle wheel is, very properly, entirely un-
fitted for. This Is to be considered also in
connection with devices for attaching two
bicycles side by side to make a duplex or
four-wheeled machiRe of them. Neither
the frame, the bearings nor the wheels of
a properly constructed bicycle are adapted
to such use without injury.

WAS A DIFFICULT GUEST.

Charles Dickens Experience With
Hans Christian Andersen.
From the New York Herald.
When Dickens first met Hans Christian
Andersen in a London drawing room he
asked his fellow novelist to pay him visit
at Gadshill The invitation was promptly
accepted and the guest remained long
time.
Upon many occasions during this very
protracted visit Dickens found his patience
put to the test by his new friend.
In spite of Hans Christians many merits
and good qualities, his very marked pecu-
Harities made him an exceedingly difficult
person to entertain.
He was extremely sentimental and emo
t,cnal, and frequently, for no apparent rea-
scn would burst into a flood of womantsh
tears and rush away to his own room.
A few days after his arrival he rang the
bell and asked to see the eldest son of the
house.
The eldest son was away. and when Dick
ems himself went to see what his guest de-
sired he found that Andersen wished the
eldest son to shave him, that being the Gus
to m of his own country.
Dickens explained that In the first place
ycung Charles was absent, and that, Sec
with danger for him to attempt the desired
service, as, with the very best intentions,
he would probably nearly decapitate his H.
llstrfous guest.
Under these most untoward circumstances
Hans Christian, weeping, betook himself to
the nearest barber shop and had his beard
attended to professionally.

Iashes swept the velvety cheek, was quite
charming. But when she lifted the lids,
the bold and steady gaze of pair of cold
blue eyes took much of the charm away.
The fact that the child of A village laborer
bred from nothing, accustomed to nothing,
had such receptivity for much that aristoc-
racy, wealth, breeding. lorg descent, i'm
piled, was an interesting feature in herel-
ity. Where and how had the strain come
in that made this possible? Could it be
the mere circumstance OF sex, of feminnity
that rendered her superior to the clod from
which she sprung? Or was she a spon-
taneous instance of new departurs7
wondered for a little In what way the ele-
ment that gave her these capabilities came
into her blood. She had evidently found her
chance and improved it; she could have
wasted no time; she must have gone a
great deal to the theater, that picture and
school of life; she must have read and
reasoned, watched. observed and initiated !;
doubtless she could have passed an eXami-
ration on the hel oines of the novels of
fashionable life. And then, as she appear
ed no more during the passage, I forgot
her. I saw her, however. by accident, just
before the allotted six weeks of her alb
sence ended; but it was in London, after
all, and at the opera She was not caring
for the play, 1 judged, or the music; her
whole attention was given to the boxes

way they wore them, were what she would
carry away with ner.
When I saw Miss Beecher again-she
was at home, and at the horse show--it
was no longer the son of the head of the
house, but the head of the house himself,
who accompanied her. AS faultlessly dress

brilliant and beaming. Rather sure that
she was of an iRpeccabie social morality,
according to her code, l regarded 1t only
as a further step on her ladder. I had no
