ABOUT WHEELS.

The use Of golf stockings has become so
common by lady cyclists that the stock
ings are made To order in any color de-
signs that are chosen by the buyers. They
are vastly more comfortable than leggings
or high CATERS. During the cold months
they are more healthy than cotton stock
inGs and the ladies' really are wise in adopt
ing them.
The bicycle is a slender. graceful and al
together harmless arrangement, chiefly
composed of two wheels turned by two
crapks, one of which is seated on a saddle
and operates the machine with his feet
Cycling World.
Tie great city of CyclopOlis was full
OF wheeis-bicycles, tricycies, mono-cycles,
autocycles, demi-cycles, electric cars, pet
roleum cars, auto-cars, and thousands Of
other kiEds of cars. But one day wonder

of the smart and wealthy inhabitants of
Cyclopolis.-St. Pauls.
A. &. Batchelder. the official Handicapped
of the L. A. W, says the chanless wheel,
Will not be popular until 1898. He gives
his reason for this statement by saying that
nearly every patent for chainless gear
Is owned by one big manufacturer, who
ma y license others to use the same gearing
but TO do so special machinery will be re-
quired, and it is impossible for the ma
chinery to be made in time for the business
Of 1897. The one manufacturer who has
the necessary machinery will place the
only chainless wheel on the market 1t will
be impossible with present facilities to turn
out more than three thousand of these
wheels for next year.
IN our crowded streets the bicyclsts are
at tue absolute mercy of truck drivers,
most of whom seem to take malicious
pleasure in forcing wheelmen against the
car tracks or into the wet and slippery gut
tiers. Minor accidents to wheelmen are
exceedingly numerous, and it / s almost
miraculous that fatal consequences do not
often follow.
Truckmen will do well to note the ac-
tion of police magistrate, who has
promptly fined an offending driver.
If bicyclists, instead of sw wearng at
teamsters, will promptly call policeman
when they are ridden down, the police
magistrate will do the rest.-New York

POINTS on CYCLING.
Some Hints to Wheelmen to Make
Their Sport Enjoyable.
Hdrper'S Round Tao


There is an important feature of bi-
cycling which comes, or should come, to
the attention of every rider about this
time of the year; that is, the question Of
a thorough Gverhauling of the wheel it,
self. This is of the greatest Importance,
and should be done whether the bicycle
appears to be in good running order or
not. For example, You have been riding
a wheel in the country, or near the sea
shore, and thought You have Kept the " heel
in good running order, the spokes are
little rusty. and the bearings must be more
or less filled With dust and sand. The
rust Oh the spokcs not only looks badly,
but tends to weaken the wheel.
A little grit mixed in With the oil and
the balls of the bearings is quite enough
to wear the bearings themselves as well
as the balls, and in short time render
the wheel practically USELESS. unless an
entirely new set of bearings is put in.
Even il you have not been in the country,
the fact that you have used the wheel Il
little each day, and only wiped Off the
outside OF the machine aud reoied the
bearings occasionally, is enough to prove
that the machine should be taken apart

interest is being taken in the game, not

OF the brave boys never relaxed until
the last OF the eighteen shipwrecked

and final trip, however, when the boat
struck the beach, the danger being
over and the stimulus to action re-
moved, their young and slender frames
gave way. Dropping their oars they
fell helpless across the seats. When
aroused by the soldiers and lifted from
the boat their limbs were 80 weak and
benumbed that they could not stand
without support. Hot coffee and the
warmth of the beach fire soon restored
animation but they reached the fort
in worse condition by far than those
whose lives they had saved. A few

having died out, eyes were turned to-

disappeared, ali excepting the stem
and stern posts, having been complete

every man on board must have per-

discrimination, was granted each oi

Food for Your Pet Bird.

"For achange, for canaries and other
BIRDS" said an experienced raiser OF
birds. "nothing Is better food than
the various kinds of grasses which are
now going to seed. Around any grass
plots can be found grass which has
gone to seed. This is natural food
for birds at this season of the year,
and 1T should be freely given them.
The birds will relish the change very
much, and it will improve them in
plumage and song. They are tired Of
the ordinary seeds, which are good
enough when there are no others, but
now seed of every kind is in profusion,
and needs only to be picked up.
''rhe pepper grass is now in full
seed, and it is great bracer for the
feathered pets, and especially for
canarIes. Birds like green stuff at sll
times, but are specially fond OF grass
seeds of any kind. My experience Is
that no mistake can be made, and that
bird never eats any seed that it does
not like and that is not good for it. Z"
