BICYCLE SIGNAL CODE.
Bell Taps to he Used In Passing Other
Wheels.

There are a few cyclists in the city
who have, almost without knowing it,,
adopted code of signals to be used
in passing others on wheels. They are
simple 'and can be memoriZed by any
one in five minutes. 1t is not always
the case that riders should pass to the
right. This rule, it is obvious, is true
when person is simply passing along
ii street without intention of stopping
or turning out, but when stops are to
be made or when n corner Is to be turned
the rule often fails. IN the code of sig-
nails given below il must he understood
that the one giving the signal should
always be obeyed in allowing him to
pass as his signal indicates, otherwise
collisions may occur. The signal should
always be answered by the one to whom
it is directed giving the same signal.
The signals are as follows:
When approaching from opposite di-
rections:
One ring-I will pass to the right.
Two rings-I want to stop at the left
curb or turn to the left into street
or alley and will pass to the left.
When approaching n rider from the
rear:
One ring-I will pass to the right.
Two rings-I will pass to the left.
Three rings (when approaching two
people from the rear)-I will pass be-
tween you.
1t must also be understood that one
ring of the bell means one pressing
of the thumb piece or one turn Of
the thumb wheel as the case may be,
or one stroke of the hammer II IL is n
bell that allows distinct and separate
strokes to be made.-lndianapolis Jour

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

moss-covcred tree cannot remain
healthy.
1t is a mistake to set fruit trees in
the garden.
Moss on a tree affords hiding place
for insects.
I'm application of whitewash is good
10 remove moss.
AS soon as the apples begin to fall
from the trees it will be good plan to
turn the hogs into the orchard.
With raspberries and blackberries all
canes that grow outside the direct line
OF the rows should be treated MS weeds.
good rule in pruning is to cut all
uead or disabled wood and every branch
mat starts out where it is not wanted
as soon as seen.
The growing canes of raspberries and
Diackberries do better IL they are kept
ron becoming too tall, as they are
usually inclined to do.
Trees should be so pruned while
young that the necessity for cutting or
large limbs will be avoided.-St. Louis
Republic.

ice box must have a tight metal floor,
sloped TO carry away the water through
pipe soldered in at one corner. The
other side of the ice box extends to
within ten inches of the ceiling. The
current of air is indicated by the ar
rows. This permits the cold air to drop
down behind the shelves and pass over
the butter. If it becomes warm it rises
TO the ceiling. finds its way into the ice
box and, after. being chilled, again de-

To prevent the ice falling over the
eight-inch side there should be some
Stats arranged so as to throw any drip
back into the pan. To regulate the
temperature hang n ten-inch board in
such way that the ice box may be
closed, 81. partly closed, to retard circu-

ANOTHER GOOD MOVE.
The Illinois Central Adds New Fast
Day Train to Its Chicago-st. Louis
Service. The Diamond special
Continuing As Before.

Beginning August LIST the Illinois Central
will add new solid fast vestibule day train
TO Its Chicago-St. Louis service, which will
make the run between the two cities In eight
and O half hours. 1t will be known as the
daylight Special" and will leave Chicago
at 10 :35 A. NJ, arriving ut ST. Louis ut :O4
=. NJ; returning, leaving bt Louis at 8:82
A. M. and arriving ut Chicago at 500 p. M.
1t will carry free reclining chair car and
an elegant Pullman combination parlor and
buffet car. This in addition to the regular
night train, the Diamond Special, with its
free reclining chair car, It's elegant Pullman
full compartment sleeping car and Pullman
combination sleeping car containing buffet,
state rooms and open sections, which will
continue to leave Chicago at 800 p. M, ar
irving at St. Louis 7;4 A. M; returning,
leaving st. Louis at 10 p. M, and arriving
at Chicago at 1886 A. M.
These trains will, In every sense, be solid
through trains OF the Illinois Central Rail
road for the entire distance between Chi
cago and st. Louis, but they will both run
via new route from Pana to st. Louis, l.
O., over the tracks of the Big Four Route,
the line between Chicago and Pana being
over the Illinois Central via Clinton regu-
lar route of the Diamond Special. Trans
make regular stops In both directions in
Chicago mt 22d Street, Both Street, Hyde
Park and 63d Street Stations, for the ac-
commodation OF patrons to or from the Ken
wood, Hyde Park, Pullman or South Chi
cago districts of the city.

RUINED BY A STRIKE.
Lost "a Position Worth Eight Thousand
Dollars "a Year.

The story of Richard Reese Tor
Recycs), the counterfeiter who was ar
rested near Los Angeles recently, is
tragic example of the mutability Of
human affairs. Reese has seen but two
years less than half century of life.
His training was that of mechanic.
He is not man skillful with hands
alone but one who works with both
hand and brain. When u. S. Grant
was running for president, years ago,
there was II big political celebration in
Chicago. Grant was there, and Reese
rode in his carriage us representative
of the laboring classes, proclaimed by
his fellows the most skillful mechanic
in all America.
As the years went by the mans repu-
tation grew and increased. At last he
obtained n place in one of the great
shops at Homestead, Pa. Eventually
he rose to be foreman, with n salary of
$4,000 n year. Then came the great
Homestead strikes, which brought ruin
and death to so many men. Reese was
infected with the labor doctrines then
prevailing. When the struggle was
over Reese was ruined man. His place
was lost, and n reputation established
as a man who could not be relied on in
u strike.
Reese came to California. He came
to Los Angeles some months ago, ex-
pecting to obtain a position rs foreman
of the rolling mill. There was some
hitch, and in consequence Reese OBJ
tanned only subordinate position. He
was not content with this. There was
@ dispute, and Reese's connection with
the mill ended.
Reese got very poor, indeed, and pow
erty drove him to crime. He put his
skill as n mechanic to the evil use of
making bogus money. He declares he
has been engaged in the nefarious bust
ness but few months, meaning to save
money enough to buy little home for
himself and to get another start. Tint
accomplished, he had vowed to live an
honest life again.--Los Angeles Times.

PRIVATE CUSTOMERS.
Why Mrs. lockwood Prefers Their Trade
to store business


have herd complaints from some
who have tried furnishing butter to pri-
waite customers. They say their Gus
toners are over particular and given 10
fault finding. In short, that il is more
trouble 10 eater to their tastes than the
butter is worth. In all my experience
have not had the least trouble in this
respect. Our customers all understand
tha; if a any time a crock of butter does
not suit they are expected TO return it
AT cur expense and il will be replaced
by another. | think il is no more than
right that person paying such a price
for butter should get what they want,
and have found none who are any more
exacting than should be under the cir
cumstances. l may have been partic-
uiarly fortunate in obtaining unusually
desirable customers, but certainly
there is no fault or complaint. In our
correspondence year after year, l have
ever received most courteous treatment
from both men and'women. There has
been nothing which would indicate the
difference, socially speaking, between
the wealthy patron and the poor
farmers wife, who supplies them with
their dairy batter. We take great pains
to make the butter look neat, and. al
though butter in crock does not APP
pear TO the eye in the way that printed
butter does, some difference is dscerni-
he even there. 1t is the practice of
some butter-makers to tie bits of old
muslin over the butter. This is alto
gether too suggestive of its foMnaS
period Of usefulness to please the fas-'
tidious person. 1t is better to buy
parchment paper, which comes cut in
circles u fit the different sizes of crooks,
FOR this purpose. Pack the crock full
cut off the butter directly Mt the top
edge of the crock. Remove the surplus,
place a circle of the parchment over il
and smooth down and see how neat IL
looks. In summer sprinkle layer
OF fine salt over the top to prevent the
heat from melting the butter and soil
ING the paper. We buy new light yell
low paper to tie over the outside and
think it looks much better than old
newspapers. The name and address was
formerly written on an express tag and

favors writing it upon the top with pen

A MARKED ADVANCE.

Average Country Load Better Now Than
IL Was a Few Years Ago.
AT a recent public meeting not far
from here good dominic, rising TO
speak, prefaced his remarks by saying
that there ought to be added to The
litany an appeal like this: "From lum-
bago and newly worked roads, good
Lord, deliver u.s." Riding over the
country at this season of the year the
wayfaring man may well Join the
brother in this earnest petition; and
IL power could be given to the horse to
speak as did that patient animal of sa-
cred history in Balaam's time such q
chorus would arise as would disturb
the dreams of the would-be legislators
who play with the question of good
roads at our state capitals every win
ter, and arouse them to a better sense
OF their duty in this respect than seems
to have impressed itself upon them as
yet.
Still, it is n far cry from the old way
of working the roads with the plows
and old-fashioned scraper to the mod
ern well-made road machine. Save in
some of the districts where men still
declare that there is no true way to
improve the roads except to turn up the
mud and stones aong the side and haul
them into the track with a scraper,
there certainly has been a marked adj
vance within the last few years. 1t is
true we have not yet learned to use the
road machine as it should be used. It's
capabilities are not at present fully I'M
derstood by all. A first-class machine
in the hands of good man will certain
ly make a good road. 1t is not all of
roadmaking, however, to haul dirt.
clods and stones into the highway.
The machine must be followed up close
ly by men with rakes to remove all looee
stones, and they by teams to draw all
these away. When thus made smooth,
if the pike be made wide enough, the
result will be much better road.
The use OF gravel is also growing In
favor. Some of our worst pieces Of
road have been greatly improved by
this means. The intelligent overscer
will study his beat and the available
material then act accordingly. Road
making is an art just as much as that
of building railways. When we come
to understand this, and that the better
our roads are the more valuable our
lands, there will be less killing time
when the season of the year comes to
work out our tax. 1t is for the interest
of everybody TO have good roads. We
all use them and ought TO take pride
in maintaining them. But if we will
not, and il seems to be fact that some
men can never be coaXed into looking
out for their own interests in this mat.
