Early nLeycle BreaIsrasts.

Bicycle breakfasts are a popular way
of entertaining friends who ride wheels
this Yeason. \ series of such breakfasts
have recently been given by a club in the
n~eighborhood of the sound, where the
roads are all that could be wished. The
meet usually takes place on a Saturday
morning, allowing the male guests who
have come to spend Sunday to partici-
pate in the pleasure. The time for meet
ing is at the early hour of eight a. m,
and after partaking of coffee or choco-
late, with dainty sandwiches and rolls,
the cyclists start for a two-hours' spin,
returning to find a dainty but substan-
tial breakfast awaiting them. The table
and room are always decorated with
foliage from the woods or field flowers.
Several of these repasts have been
served upon shady broad verandas.-N.

Sometimes the top layer is busted with
fine bread crumbs. The dish is heated

served with roast meat. AT other times
a cupful Of gravy and the tomatoes are

Occasionally it is used as the base of a

Training of French Children.

I would now beg you to consider the
less pronounced persons of our little
boys and girls, who are required, above
all else, to be amiable in the sense the
word has in France, where it means
lovable, having nothing of the luke
warm and hollow meaning of the Eng
fish word ''amiable." The aim Of their
education differs in the two countries,
In America good parents have but ons
thing in view-the rational develop
ment of individuality and of response,
bility; while this, in the girls case as
well as in the boys, is the constant La
Dor of parents in France-to keep their
children in tutelage, to prevent them
from seeing what is going on outside,
and to give discipline and complete sub
mission the first place. In fact, their
children are being more specially
trained for the ~eXigencies and the ac-
complishments of a social life whose
machinery has been running on for
centuries, while Americans are being
psepared for individual struggles such
as they must necessarily make in a
new c~ountry.-Th. Benton, in Century.

of the mud thrown by the wheels. The
real wheel is driven by the right-hand
chain. There are cranks at the ends of
both aNles. The cranks on the top axle
are two inches long, and the leverage Cb-
tanned makes their length equivalent to
four inches. The length of the lower
leverage cranks is three inches, which
is equal to seven inches, by reason of the
leverage of the pedal levers, which are
connected with the four cranl,s by rods.
This is a gain of half an inch over the
cranks used on other wheels, and the
length of the stroke is reduced from 10
TO 12 inches.
The lever sprocket on the left is on the
crank shaft and is independent of the
wheel. The upper left-hand sprocket
has the same number of teeth. and The
chain delivers the power to the larger
of the right-hard sprockets, which
transmits it to the right-hand sprocket
on the wheel.
The four cranks being set on quarters,
4 is represented that there ran be no
dead centers, the result being a steady
pull on the driving chain. At all times
the cranks are three inches off centers,
and the uniform delivery of power to
the driving wheel is said to make the
machine run more easily than a lighter
one of standard make. The whee! il
Illustrated weighs 26 pounds, and the in.
ventor considers it a better hill climber
than any other, notwithstanding it's
greater weight and increased number OF
bearings, oil of which are fitted with
balls and adjustable cups and cones.

mates that such a sprinkler would cost
less than one now in common use. In
large cities, like New York, where there
are street cleaners at work all the time,
he would assign one of his machines to
each mile or two of street. This might
make 1t necessary to have more of the

cheaper in the end.-N. Y. Tribune.

WHEELING IN IRELAND.


Great Demrnd Reported for Hlgh-Grade
American achine
The American vice consul at Dublin,
reporting to the state department on
bicycles imported from the United
States, says that though the present
year has been the busiest yet known
in everything pertaining to the cycle
trade, the general opinion IS that the
coming year will far exceed it in bust
ness done.
During the season now closing it has
been no easy matter to secure a ma
chine from the first-class makers with
out considerable delay, as they have
been unable TO meet the large demand.
The consequence Of this delay is that
many of the Irish agents are looking
to the United States for a part of their
supply, and are even at present stock
ing their depots with American ma
chimes or looking out for American
agencies, end if manufacturers proper
ly use their opportunities there is no
doubt but that American cycles will en-
joy a large share of patronage from the
cycling public, and that the best grade
of American machines will obtain as
firm a footing aud ready a sale as the
best British makes now have.

IN CYCLEDOM.
H RUBBER I r
whsre the PrOduot Comes From OF which
1t Is Made.

where the Product Comes From OF Which
1t Is Made.
Very few people know much about
the article which enters to such a great
extent into the composition of the pneu-
matte tire, says American Cycling. All
the rubber used in bicycle tires comes
from South America. The United
States imports yearly 500, OOO, 900 worth
of raw rubber from the south half of the
western continent. 1t comes to this
country free as a raw material, but the
republic of Brazil exacts a duty of 21
per cent, or more than one-ffth of its
value. 1t Is an established fact that can
easily be proved that the export duties
on rubber and coffee alone support the
republic of Brazil. 1t would be impos-
Bible to estimate on the raw rubber out
put of Brazil for the current year, but
in view of the wonderful demand for
that article by tire manufacturers alone
It must considerably overlap the $780,
100000 worth which was used in this
country for the year 1895.
AS this country has in years past used
more than three-fourths of this product
of Brazil, it can readily be understood
how much the United States have bene-
flied Brazil and how much more they
are benefiting the South American re-
public by the increasing demand owing
20 the bicycle industry. 1t is estimated
by those who are best able to judge that
there will be 100000, 900 invested in bicy.
Gle tires in 1896. The remainder of the
yearly import is used in various lines,
such as rubber garden and fire hose,
betting, rubber used for insulation and
countless other purposes. The amount
used annually in the manufacture OF
rubber hose for air brakes is of itself
almost fabulous.

Why Parents should Develop Precision

why Parents should Develop Precision
and Accuracy In Children.
There is no habit that young people
can acquire that is likely to be so valu-
able to them in every relation of life as
the habit of being exact. Indefinite
ness is a crying fault of youth. It is an
easy thing to get into slipshod habits
of thought and work. Such work may
be brilliant, but unless work is directed
toward a definite purpose it is valueless.
Thought that appears in brilliant
flashes is as useless for guidance as the
light of a jack-o'lantern. A beacon
light must be steady and certain. The
value of a fixed definite purpose in life,
steadily adhered to, cannot be overesti-
mated. 1t is the secret of success, and
sc fully is this recognized that some
one has defined genius merely as the
power of persistence. He who has
ability to maintain a fixed purpose in
spite of disappointments and apparent
failures, must, in the end, win, if he is
guided by honor and truth.
Exact habits are best formed in
youth. 1t is next to impossible for a
man or who has grown up in
"happy-go-lucky" habits of work to
turn back and learn to be exact. Par
ents often excuse ~inaccuracy and care
less ways in children on account or
their youth. 1t is a great mistake to do
this. While youth cannot be Justly bur-
dened with the cares of age, yet Whist
ever a young person is called on to 90

mon habit of acquiring a smattering
of many things should be discouraged
as a vice. 1t is far better for the young
student to have two studies and pursue
these to the definite purpose of COM
pretending them thoroughly than to
take up a dozen, of which he can only
secure a frivolous knowledge.
The habit of giving simple, accurate
Information is a most rare and valuable
one. Not one person in ten can give def
mite, clear directions on any stated
subject of which they have full knowl-
edge. Yet this is a habit which success
full business men are compelled to ao
4uire. The trained specialist in any
branch of art OF science is chiefly valu-
able because he has learned to crystalline
his information and reduce it from
eaporous theory to something that can
be made practical. From the earliest
childhood, children can be taught to
be exact and clear. This is the chief
value OF the kindergarten system,and it
should be supplemented by home
training for the same object. Children
who learn to know what they are
taught clearly and definitely will have
nothing to unlearn, no superstitions
and false ideas to correct when they
FAC maturer wears. An early train
irg in definite, correct methods of work
has trained the mind as well as the
hand, so that the small student from
these schools is at once ready to enter
the paths of higher knowledge by a
royal road.-N. Y. Tribune.

Gelatine capsules that can be turned

This was followed by two years hos.

pie. In Toxic three years g she mar
ried a Spanish merchant, Eca da Silva.
business interests took him to Homo
lulu, but the e~nervating climate did not
agree with her, and it was decided to
come to California. With them is their
little year-old son.
DR.. da Silva is re~cuperating, and the
stay in California may be prolonged in
definitely. She has been induced to
take up a work recently instituted
here-that of interesting the young
peoples societies in foreign missions.
To that end she will lecture next month
through southern California. Her last
aIk was replete with interest. She
gave an insight into the life of Chinese
women, and told of the possibilities for
them. She urged a course in medicine
for those who would go into missionary
fields, as in that way the home life oi
people could be reached, and while
healing the bodies the hearts could bc
reached. She gave as the reason why
Christianity had not done more for hel
people that it had not reached the WON.
