Don't allow your vanity TO exceed

The art of living Alright consists OF
the ability to recognize an opportu-
nifty when it is presented; whether il
be the opportunity to acquire mental
or spiritual development, earn money
or gain social advancement.
We should not forget the fact that
every man and woman of average mind
and ability can do some one thing bet.
ter than any one else can do it, hence
We should not be conceded enough
to think because we know little, we
know it ALL A good advice is to try
and discover our special gift and foster
it in every possible way.
The art of being good looking should
be cultivated, as we know from ex.
perience that we are more apt to listen
or except the advice of we'll dressed
person than from an i'll dressed UMPIRE,
possessing one. If all girls bear this
in mind, how much greater their in
fuence would be.
The plainest of girls can greatly i'm.
prove their looks if they try. Nicely
dressed hair and becoming dresses,
neatly put on, and gracefulness will dc
much for them in that respect.
Slouching, balancing from side to
side as we walk should be avoided as
well as swinging ones arm.
Beauty is Heaven sent gift and il
cannot be wrong to cultivate it, provid
ing that you are not eXtrayagant, OF
undue amount of time spent in your
toilet.
Belle: You should not delight in
blushing, as it shows that you have Z
Slight nervous affection.
The man or woman who depends or
amusements and entertainments for the
happiness of his life is very unfortu
nate being, and is, whatever his com
forts or luXuries are, a slave to acct
dents and incidents of life.
All the best of life should come from
within, as developments are greater
that requirement and of far more de-
termining force.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR BIOYCLISTs.
From Hdrper's Round Table.

I. A good bicyclist is careful of his
roads, therefore when taking header
be careful not to hit the road too
hard with your forehead. You might
make dent in the pavement,
2. In falling off your wheel do not
fall on both sides at once. Failure to
observe this rule will result in dividing
you against yourself.
3. Always be courteous. If the
trolley-car has the right of way over
the track do not dispute with it. A
boy in Massachusetts who broke this
rule broke his right arm and his cy-
clometer at the same time.
q. Be cautious. In riding from
New York to Brooklyn keep to the
driveway. Don't try to wheel over
the suspension cable. You might
slip and fall into the smoke stack OF a
passing ferry-boat.
S. Keep your lamp lit when riding
at night. The boy who thought he
was safe because he had parlor-
match in his pocket came home with
spoke in his wheel that didn't be-
long there.
6. Do not be rough with ice-carts
and furniture trucks. If you must
run into one of them do it as gently
and tenderly as if it were baby car
riage.
7. A merciful rider is merciful to
his wheel, so do not force a bicycle
beyond the point of its endurance
unless you want to walk back with
your wheel on your shoulders.
8. Keep cool. If in the course o
ride you find yourself in a tigh'
place, with skittish horse to the lef
and steep ravine to the right, and {
bull dog directly to the fore, takt
ravine. You'll 60 into it, anyhow
and if you take it alone without drag
ging the dog or the horse after you
your chances will be improved.
9. Never use spurs on the pncu
matte tires of your wheel. The us
of spurs ia this manner is likely t.
leave your bicycle in winded con
dtion. Spurs are not comfortable
either, in case Of throw.
| 10. Do not be stubborn with
balky wheel. If the front wheel get
into rut going east, and the hin
wheel in another going west, dismour
and argue the matter standing, unles
you are tired, and want to lie dow
by. the roadside without making tn
effort to do so unassisted
