WOMAN AND HOME.
HINTS FOR wHEELwoMEN,
Their Education should Not End wlth
Learning TO Mount and Ride

Their Education should Not End wlth
Learning to Mount and Ride.
When the average young woman
learns to dismount without bruising
herself, and to mount without the as
sistance of a large body guard, she fond
ly imagines that her woes are at an end.
She does not foresee the repair shop;
her prophetic soul gives her no warning
of the punctured tire; the mantle of the
seer does not fall upon her, and she
has no hint of mornings spent. in the
basement area cleaning her machine.
She does not guess that course in
practical mechanics should be taught
at the cycling academy.
Every woman who intends to ride
should learn to adjust her saddle and
the handle bars. Before she goes for
ride she should test the saddle to see IL
1t is perfectly firm. If it is not she
should be able to tighten it. II she rides
at night she should see that her lamp is
filed and trimmed, that its glass is
clear, and that it is firmly fastened in
its place, so that no jolts or jars will dis
turb it. OF course, If she rides at night,
SiiC must NC pIONlutu CllntT WIFI lndlCIl-
es or an escort.
She must also learn the use of the va
rious tools found in the tool box. She
may spend many a pleasant hour in
cleaning and oiling her WHEEL All the
parts which are the centers of revolu-
ton should be kept scrupulously clean.
The dust of the road enters the crevices
and combines with the oil in a way
that is fatal to speed and ease in pro-
polling the machine. Cheesecloth rags
which are free from lint should be
used to clean these parts. They should
be oiled once for about every 100 miles
If the cyclist be fairly frequent patron
OF the road, and about once fortnight
if she does not ride often or far at a
time.
When the chain begins to look clogged |
it should be removed and soaked in kerr
osene TO clean it. Then it should be
thoroughly dried rubbed with some |
good lubricant, and restored to its posi-
tion.-Chicago Tribune.

MANLEY'S FIGURES.
He is Astonished That Vermont Did
Not Stand by Reed.

WASHINGTON, May 3-Mr. Manley
Of Maine tonight gave out the follow
ing statement:
Since my statement of week ago
there have been elected forty-six dele
gates. The elections have occurred IN
Michigan. Illinois, Missouri, Arizona,
Indian Territory, Vermont, Alabama
and Georgia. They can be assigned as
follows: In Alabama and Arizona two
sets of delegates have been elected, and
they are therefore placed as they ought
TO be. in the contested column; Indian
Territory. Michigan, Missouri, and Illi-
nois are placed in the column for Nc
Kinley.
The convention in Vermont was sur
prise to the friends of Mr.. Reed. They
had a right to expect that Vermont
would ioin with the rest of New Eng
land and send a delegation pledged to
support the New England candidate.
The delegates selected unGuestionabiy
prefer the nomination of Mr.. Reed. How
far they will feel bound oy the declara-
ton of preference for Governor Nc
Kinley by their convention time alone
will determine. 1t must be remembered
that the convention did not instruct the
delegates and left them free to exercise
their own Judgment

was very large.
