CYCLE RIDING.
Knees-Up-tO-Chin Position Not n Pretty
One for Girls.

Knees Up Chin Position Not d Pretty
One for Girls.
One of the most serious difficulties
encountered by the learner of cycling,
especially of the softer sex, is the de-
sire of makers and teachers to drill her
into what we may, for want of better
phrase, dub the monkey-on-the-stic
attitude, so much affected among the
park riders. The familiar toy of child
hood, when in repose. has its knees up
to it's chin and its hands at about the
same level, and for some good and suffi-
cient reason that is considered the right
attitude by many. Now, says an au-
thority on cycling, we are far from adj
vocating the ''scorcher" attitude, with
the saddle far back, the handles well
down, and the rider pulled absurdly
forward; but there is something be-
tween the two poses which is much more
correct from all points of view-that is,
an easy upright attitude, fairly over the
pedals, with the handle bar just high
enough to cause the arms to be slightly
bent when the rider sits upright.
Another of the learners most serious
difficulties is to overcome the tendency
to hurry matters. The balancing of a
cycle, and the more deliberately, with
in reason, of course, the attempt is made
the sooner will success attend the eff
fort. Many of the difficulties of the bal
ance are accentuated by the machines
upon which the essay is made; they are
out of true, the wheels do not track, and
so on, but they are good enough for the
work they are used for, and the learners
sensations after relinquishing the
learning machine and mounting trim
and new bicycle are those of astonish-
ment and pleasure at the comparative
ease with which the previously difficult
tasks are accomplished.
Another point often sadly worries the
learner-the question of mounting. In
deed, the fact that the novice cannot
mount" is often quite serious worry,
which makes the learner respondent.
The presen. writer, with % years ex-
perience of continuous cycling on all
sorts of cycles, has probably not used
the step to mount with 25 times in the
last IL months. It is so much moresim-
pie to mount from the curb, or the grass
bank at the roadside, and the expert
does so as often as not.-St. James

A certain gentleman who resides neal
by was convinced by watching bird
and its mate worrying snake under a
tree in which they had built their nest.
that snakes do not charm birds, says
the Washington Supper Table. It was
at first thought the bird was charmed
by the snake, but after watching the
actions of the two for awhile he no
ticed that the bird always kept out OF
reach of the snake-''so near and yet
SO far" After several minutes of that
kind of teasing of his snakeship the bird
would go up in the tree and its mate
would come down and go through the
same ananeuvers. In this way they
kept the snake from climbing the tree
to their nest and destroying their little
ones. Instead of being "hypnotized"
by the snake the birds showed reason
ing power and cunning superior to the
snake. 1t would be interesting to know
If any of our readers ever saw snake
charm a bird.-Pittsburgh Chronicle

An Arctic missionary Saved FROM starvae
tion By Meat OF the Paeistobene Age.
A private letter received from mis-
sion station at the mouth of the Mac
kenzie river, within the Arctic circle,
gives an account of the narrow escape
of missionary and party of Eslximos
from death by starvation. The letter
says that the missionary. with half q
dozen Eskimo attendants, started for
distant village of Eskimos TO hold
services. Mackenzie bay being open,
they went by boat. To keep clear of
drift ice, they followed the shore line
as closely as possible.
On the third day out heavy wind
sprang up, and they were compelled to
land The next morning they found
themselves prisoners, pack ice having
been driven ashore by wind and cur
rents. A hard frost occurred, and was
followed by intermittent gales and
snowstorms, continuing for fortnight,
during which time the party was UNI
able to travel and the provisions ran out.
For three days they were without food.
and they were face to face with starva-
ton. Then the missionary urged the
not find stray ptarmigan or sea fowl.
About two miles from the camp one
of the Eskimos discovered two long
bones protruding from the frozen earth.
He called companion, and the latter
recognized the bones at once as ivory
tusks, and decided to secure them. The
two men went to work with their axes
and chopped away the ground, and,
much to their amazement, soon began
cutting out frozen flesh, perfectly pre-
served. They secured a quantity of
this and fastened back to camp, where
they told their story and displayed their
find. The missionary, who was some
thing of an archaeologist, concluded
that the animal from which the flesh
came was prehistoric mammoth, and
he knew, too, from his reading, that the
flesh was good to eat, and the whole
party that afternoon rejoiced their fam
ished stomachs, and lived on the flesh
for three weeks, when they were able
to proceed on their journey. The mis-
sionary secured the tusks, which meas
nred eight feet in length. He made an
examination of the place where the car
cass is embedded, and thinks that the
body of the animal is not complete. It
is lying on it's back, and the hind por-
ton and legs seem to have been broken
off. He intends to make further inves-
legations during the summer. Tho
ground In the region is perpetually
frozen. The missionary considers that
the discovery of the mammoth was a
miraculous act of Providence to save
himself and the members of his party
from starvation. They had sufficient oil
with them to thaw the flesh and mako
it palatable.
Bones of mammoths have before been
found in the region east of the noun
tains, but this is the first time on record
that carcass with flesh on it has been
discovered. In point of time the mann
I1oth belongs exclusively to the post
tertiary, or pleistocene, epoch of geolo.

The reason that certain animals lap
instead of drink seems to be an arrange
ment of nature to prevent carnivorous
animals, whose stomachs are compar-
atively small, from notwithstanding
themselves with water. Most of the
animals that suck when drinking are
hesbivorous and have large stomachs,
or more than one, with a paunch or re-
ceptacle for unchewed food, and with
them digestion is a slow process and
there is little, if any, danger of over
distension, although such thing is not
unknown with some domestic herbivor-
Gus animals. Digestion is much moro
rapid process with the carnivora, and IL
is important that it should not be de-
layed by the ingestion of large quanti-
ties of cold water. by tapping the
mouth and throat are thoroughly moist
ened, while the water is supplied to the
stomach in small quantities. properly
warmed and mixed with saliva. 1t may
be fairly assumed that the carnivora are
of more recent creation, for the herbi-
yorous animals are their food, and that
therefore tapping may be considered
more highly developed way of drinking
than sucking. Detroit Free Press.

THE NEWLY RICH.

somc of the Demonstrations OF Suddenly
Acquired wealth.
The sudden elevation from poverty
to riches is generally accompanied by
sometimes startling and always anus
ing manifestations. Nine men out OF
ten. when they find the gaunt wolf of
hunger and inconvenience forever BAN
ished from their door first think of tho
style in which they should live in order
to conform to the munificence of their
suddenly-acquired fortune, and they
invest forthwith in as costly a house
and grounds as they can afford. Some
take extreme delight In parading the
fruits of their new wealth before those
of their neighbors whose opulence is OF
more mature age, and who have there
fore offered many a (fancied) snub.
A case in point is that of lawyers
young assistant, living in a neighboring
state, who short time ago was for
tunate enough to come into property of
the value of nearly quarter of mil
lion dollars, which enabled him to en-
bark on policy of revenge which he
had long cherished in his mind, but
which he had not the slightest hope OF
ever being able to carry out. His en-
ployer, man of obscure origin and
most offensive manners, had been in the
habit of treating him with the utmost
disdain, and, not unnaturally, the clerk
thirsted for an opportunity of paying
him back in his own coin.
The opportunity came with the adj
vent of his great riches, and he took the
fullest advantage of every occasion to
excite the envy of his quondam en-
ployer and to belittle him in the eyes
of his friends. He made q practice OF
driving in state past the lawyers Office
two or three times a day, his turnout"
in the morning being a smart and dash
ing tandem, and in the afternoon an
elegant carriage and pair. If the at
torney attended the theater or any pub
lie meeting his once-despised clerk was
there occupying better position than
himself.
Happening to hear of a debt of $2,00c
or 900 owing by the latter, he bought
it at premium, sued for and recovered
it, and administered the coup de grace
to his enemy by making him bank.

ON delicate laces so long displaced for
heavy cotton guipure and valenciennes
and darned tulle are once again worn.
The latter seems TO owe its revival 20
the popularity of piece tulle. Guipures
continue to be used, but it is to fiat APP
pliques that they are suited, while net
laces are used for ruffles and ruches,
and have quite different expression.
Both kinds are used in the following
casino gown made by Nicaud: The ma
terials are strawberry red taffeta and
'scru batiste. Over the gown of taffeta
is a skirt and low-necked sleeveless
blouse of the batiste, making trans
parency. The batiste has guipure in
irregular patterns appliqued on the
front, with the batiste cut out from
under the lace, and is bordered with
net lace ruche about two fingers wide.
The ruche borders the neck and arm
holes, the bottom of the skirt, and out
lines some of the guipure insets near
the foot. All the lace is yellowed to
the same tone as the batiste. Tabs OF
batiste bordered with ruching stand
out from the top of the collar band, and
ruching borders the wrists.

asked of Molas. Doubtless the secret
Of the hiding place is known to those
who live IN the house, and they will
drag us out and butcher u.s."
1.-THE woman Tulsa says that il is
known to none except herself, lord, for
she declares that not two months ago she
discovered it for the first time by the
accident of the broom with which she
was sweeping the floor striking against
the springs of the panel. And now let
us come out for while, for it is not yet
eleven o'clock, and she says that there
will be no danger till after midnight. "
''Has she any plan for our escape?"
asked.
''She has plan, though she is doubt
full of its success. When the murderers
have been and found US gone they will
think either that we are wizards or
that we have made our way out of the
house, and will search no more till
dawn. Meanwhile, if she can, Luisa
will return and, entering the chamber
by the secret entrance, will lead us to
the chapel, whence she thinks that we
may fly to the forest"
Where is this secret entrance,
Molas?"
"I do not know, lord; she had no time
20 tell me, but the murderers will come
by it. She did tell me, however, that
she believes that man and a woman
are imprisoned near the chapel, though
she knows nothing of them and never
visits the place, because the Indians be-
Geve it to be haunted. Doubtless these
two are Zibalbay and his daughter, SO
that if you live to come so far you may
find them there and speak with them"
Some minutes before midnight we
sxtinguished the light, and, creeping
one by one through the hole in the pan
cling, closed it behind us and took our
stand in the little dungeon. Here the
darkness was awful, and as the warmth
of the wine we had drunk passed from
our veins our fears gathered thick upon
us and oppressed our souls.
