scorcbinc aud Reading.

The man who gets so interested In
his newspaper on the street cars that
he Is Obvious to women who stand.
and men who climb over him, has not
endeared himself to his kind; but Kan
sas City has produced even a greater
nuisance In a bicyclst who reads as he
rides. Ii would seem to the casual
observer that the bieyle offered sufiici-
ent advantages to inilict or receive ac-
cidents, even when the rider kept his
eyes open and his wits alert. This
rider is described as going scorching
along with his attention apparently
absorbed by what he is reading. while
terrified pedestrians climb the tele-
phone poles and seek such other places
of safety as they can find. A few days
ago another rider followed him. hoping
to be in at the death: but the literary
bicyclist rode on, reading congenial
tales of battle, murder and sudden
death. until he turned down quiet
street. where he folded his poper. put
II in his pocket, and coasted safely into
his own yard.--New Orleans Picayune.

Good Lesp Year Advice.

May / say just a few words to the
girls who are so anxious TO get mar
ried? l wonder how many of them
would make good wives? Look at your
married friends. How easy it is to
pick flaws in them. But in nine cases
out OF ten We will find the same faults
In ourselves IL We look for them.
Let us try to cultivate the virtues
that a good wife needs. The first is
patience and then unselfishness. We
can find chances to practice these two
every day. Even IL you never marry,
an unselfish life will never be unhappy
or wasted.
