ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.

There is nothing so foolish as work
without a fixed purpose.
Do not spend your time in sitting about
talking of ways and means Of getting fame
or money,
Remember that working out a fixed
purpose in lie is just as amusing as drink
ing champagne and fox hunting.
Do not fancy that talent counts for so
very much in tho world. Persistence
without intellect is better than intellect
without persistence
Don't be afraid because your pockets arc
nearly empty, Only n handful of the
hundreds of millions on this earth arc
forehandcd more than one meal.
Do not fancy that your money and your
social position are aids to doing things
that are worth while. In youth they are
as dangerous as too much jelly cake.
Do not be enthusiastic about anything
except what you are doing yourself. This
does not mean that you are to be narrow
or ungenerous. But enthusiasm Is an ex-
plosive. 1t should DO saved for a serious
purpose.
Don't fancy tina: routh is the only time
in which there is any amusement to be got
out Of life, In reality it is the time when
the most evancscent pleasures only arc to
be had, and that at scandalous prices -

Caring For Bicycle Chains.

The chain Is the hardest part Of tho BIZ
cycle to get along with comfortably.
When a chain gets dry and creaky. 1t is n
good idea to boil it for an hour in hot
soda bath, then plunge IL into a pail of
light oil and allow il to remain immersed
for an hour, at the end OF which time the
oil will have thoroughly penetrated every
bearing part. The chain should then be
hung mp and allowed to drip thoroughly.
A chain so treated will usually run we'll
for days and weeks aftcrward. In an
emergency case on the road thorough
dose Of Soapsuds will always Timber up an
obstinate chain, which will often rCmain
