USEFUL ITEMS.

To keep patent leather shoes glis-
tening, rub occasionally with vaseline.
Sift little -four over suet when it
is being chopped, and it will prevent
the pieces from adhering together.
The coffee left in the coffee pot
each morning may be used to ad-
vantage by pouring it over the pots in
which plants are growing.
To keep cut flowers fresh for the
longest possible time cut the stems
each day and put in fresh water, in
which little ammonia or nitrate of
so soda has been dropped.
For rough hands: Borax half
ounce, rose-water eight ounces. APP
ply morning and evening. Or, one
part powdered borax, one part glycer-
inc, sixteen parts rose-water. Mix
we'll together and apply frequently.
1t will make the skin smooth and
white.
If the hair is thin or lacking in
lustre, brush it twice q day for five
minutes at time. If the eyelids and
eyelashes are scanty, rub them at
night with vaseline. If the hands
chap easily, wash at night in warm
water, rub we'll with cold cream and
wear pair of loose, fingerless white
gloves to bed. II the face lacks color,

We frequently note the scaling of
some OF the big trees and logs in the
State OF Washington, but tho full ap-
probation of their size is lost by local
comparison. 1t is only when we see
the records of the big logs of eastern
points that We realize what monster
trees grow around Puget Sound. The
following item is from the Maple Leaf
OF Albert, New Brunswick, Canada, in
one of the numbering counties of the
maritime provinces:
"Some large lumber has recently
been referred to in these columns, but
the following cut at West River, on
the land of Geo. D. Prescott, gives a
still better record; one 3-log tree con-
tanned 9l2 feet, and 12.foot pine log
contained 600 feet of sawed lumber"
Compare this with the item given
by the Trade Register lately, OF a
log 172 teet long that scaled $4,000
feet and another fir in Clallam county
100 feet long, IL feet at the butt and
7 feet At the top that scaled $4,000
feet OF clear lumber. The latter
would more than make cargo for
some of the schooners that carry lum-
Der from Albert to st. John. 1t is
only 90 times as large as the big tree
the Maple Leaf boasts about, and
which is figuratively toothpick COM
pared with Washington lumber.

ELECTRIC BICYCLE INVENTION
New York Man Completes q Scheme
for Lazy Folks.

New York Man Completes a Scheme
for Lazy Folks.
There is no longer any reason for de-
lay on the part Of the lazy people who
have announced that they "will ride
when someone invents an electric
bicycle" James O'Brien OF New
York has completed such an inven-
ton. Taking a twenty-seven pound
wheel he has added battery motor
and switchboard, which bring the
total weight up to sixty pounds. The
battery contains enough power to
last forty'eight hours. The speed Of
this wheel has been tested up to nearly
fifty miles an hour. The electric at
tachments occupy comparatively little
space. They can be detached and the
machine can be used in the ordinary
way. Should the battery or an part
fail, it is not necessary to remove
these parts. If at any time the rider
wishes to use the pedals instead of
the electric power small switch will
cut off the current.
The switchboard is placed under the
handle, 80 that it can be reached with
out trouble by the rider. A woven
silk band is used to connect the motor
with the hub OF the rear wheel. A
striking feature OF the machine is the
electric head lamp.
A German inventor who had the
military use OF the bicycle in mind
has invented benzine motor safety,
which, he claims, approaches perfec-
ton in bicycle locomotion. 1t much
resembles the Pennington motorcycle,
on which a reckless rider is said to
have gone mile in fifty-six seconds.
The front wheel is like the ordinary
safety front wheel except that the
right part of the ste ering rod carries,
besides the brake rod, an arrangement
by which the pace Of the motor may be
regulated. The rear or driving wheel
is disk wheel, with two and one
half inch pneumatic tires. The
diameter is twenty-five inches. The
frame is built of seamless steel tubes,
and has the form OF lady's wheel.
Supported on the fore part of the
frame is gallon tank for benzine. An
explosion" lamp is kept filed from
this reservoir. When lighted it
furnishes the mixture OF gas and air
necessary to keep the wheel in motion.
The gases formed are forced into the
cylinders and the combustion furnishes
the motive power. A double cylinder
puts in motion by its piston rods the
cranks Of the driving wheel. In order
to develop an equal power and to avoid
a dead center q back puller, which
may be regulated for the purpose OF
travelling up hill, has been added. The
circular form above the rear wheel
contains water for cooling purposes.
The wheel may be regulated to
walking pace. and it may be run at
the rate of twenty miles an hour
The cost OF travelling about 800 miles
is computed to be 20 cents. The
motor safety costs to manufacture
about $50.

The powers which would be-

siduously placed himself as an

for all the toll Of preparation, the
anxiety oftheir high post, and the
trouble and worry incident to the
preparation for such action; for

are DESTROYS of acting in concert
with those who, as mortals, possess

with its terse truths. Such ideas
bring heaven to us in the daily life
Of the soul, for it is of the knowl-

lost to US forever, and thus be-
come precious beyond all argu-
ment or cavil. Yours from the
