Bicycle Wheels.

1t is not as generally understood rs It
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 d different,
and where, in turning corners rapidly,
or in going 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 bicycle wheel is,
very properly, entirely untitled for.
This is to be considered also in connec-
ton with devices for attaching two BIZ
cycles side by side to make a duplex, or
four wheeled machine, of them. Neither
the frame, the bearings nor the wheels
Of a properly constructed bicycle are
adapted to such use without injury

A Roy. A Cow. 4 Bee,

An exchange says that IA humble
boy with a shining pail went singing
down the leafy dale to where the COW
with a brindle tail on the alfalfa did
regale. A humble bee did gaily sail
over the soft and shady vale to
where the boy with the shining pail
was milking the COW with Il brindle
tail. The bee lit down on the cows

mosphere, and through the leaves OF
a cottonwood tree the boy scared in

1t is room in which the feminine men,

for little chat is invited. There after
dinner the masculine guests assemble
to talk and smoke and be entertained.
Once inside this sacred place the hours
become moments. All the wealth O!
story and anecdote is poured out and
the enjoyment is supreme. There are
'dens" in Lincoln which possess many
attractions. One of these Is the res
session of the senior editor of the morn
ing contemporary. The room has a
pleasant east win low outlook. The Gus
tomary fireplace adds to the cosy ap-
pearance. The walls are line1 to the
ceiling with rare books, gathered
through many years. These books of
themselves possess a sufficient charm
to make the minutes fly. The associa-
ton with a genial host makes the COM

tains a great many curious and inter-

fair commissioner by Governor Boyd,
at the instance of Mr.. Hitchcock, editor
of the World Herald. He was continu-
ed in office by Governor Crounse in the
face of a general protest. This man OF
crackers made a dreadful mess Of the
business of Nebraska's representation
at the worlds fair. He displayed mark
ed zeal in pouring champagne down the
throat of Lillian Russell. for all of which
the people of Nebraska had to pay. In
the real business of his Office he exhib-
tied an incompetency and prodigality
that are perhaps unequaled in the his
tory of this state, unless it be in the case
of ex-oil inspector Hilton, another relic
Of the Crounse administration. Hilton
was given a lucrative state Office for the
purpose of ena bling him to satisfy pri-
vate indebtedness to Governor Crounse.
He went out of Office owing the state
several thousand dollars. Attorney

time in no better way than in going af-
ter this precious pair, Garneau and Hill

accepted the portfolio Of the local gov
ernment board In the cabinet of 1885,
hoping to be able to modify the pre-
mier's plans; and, even after the re-
lection OF the home rule bill of the COM
mons and the defeat Of Mr.. Gladstone
at the general election Of 1886, Mr..
Chamberlain's colleagues did not then
regard his estrangement as permanent,
but actually projected the famous
Round Table conference for the pur-
pose of healing the breach In the lib
eral party.
Was Lamcnsablc Failure.
How completely that project failed,
and how fatally the failure perpetual
ed the schism are matters Of common
fame In the United States. The prob
ability Is that there were faults on both
sides. Certainly there was nothing of
the wise spirit of compromise on either.
Mr.. Gladstone was denied the supreme
desire of his political life-to give to
Ireland some large and noble need of
national justice and prosperity. Mr..
Chamberlain was driven out Of the
party to which he was closely allied
by the convictions of O lifetime as to
all questions but one. The largest
hearted statesman of the century went
into retirement without the eclat of
triumph in the most humane and most
magnificent of his undertakings; and
the man who Is at bottom the most
thorough going of English radicals,
was forced into the camp of those who
for years We're his pet aversion, but are
shrewd enough to make such conces-
sions now as will enable them to utilize
his talents and his following.
1t was capital stroke Of policy on
the part of Lord Salisbury to give Mr..
Chamberlain the colonial portfolio. The
post removes him more than any other
of equal dignity in the cabinet from the
personal conduct Of matters especially
rich In political rancours. The colonial
minister stands little apart from his
colleagues and his party in regard to
the controversies of the day. Indeed,
If he have any enemies of his ministry,
these are apt to be on the government
side.
A Place Of Many Duties.
The work of the colonial minister
ranges from the infinitely great to the
infinitely little, from the conduct Of
quasi diplomatic relations OF alliance
and corporations with the huge COM
monwealths Of Australia and Canada to
the care of such busy communities as
the Virgin islands. where they have two
policemen, and the petty anarchical

A young missionary came back from
Africa not long ago to build up his
health, which had been previously shat
tered by three years residence In the

years he. had lived continually among

practical good he had accomplished.

he will soon recognize and accept re-
ligious truths" Yet, broken in health
and having but one convert prospect
lively. the missionary was fully deter
mined to return to Africa as soon as
his health was restored TO him. Said
he: 1T Is not true for me to judge
either by, or of, results; II Is my part
to simply keep doing what l believe
to be my duty!"
A nobler incentive never inspired In
those lives of heroism with which the
history of humanity Is illumined. We
see thish motive shining In the life of
Francis Xavier. who. in the full glory Of
his youthful beauty, put wealth and
ilattery and all the alluremcnts OF
courtly age behind him and set
out alone, clad in robe of serge
and penniless, to bear to heather
fishermen In plague-ridden India the
promises. the teachings and the con-
ISOLATION of his faith. And this same
sense of duty has wrought every other
shining example to which we look with
reverence; upon the battlefield, in the
