repetition regarding the rule of the
road as it applies to riders of the bicy-
Gle. 1t is, of course, the same for them
as for those who drive or walk, but its
requirements are frequently violated.
When meeting a vehicle coming towards
her cyclist should turn out to the right,
and when passing one going in the same
direction as herself, to the left. If this
simple formula were strictly and uni
versally adhered to, large proportion
of the trouble which occurs on the road
would be obviated. 1t is most often dis
regarded in the case where the rider has
to pass a carriage or another wheel go
ing in the same direction. There fire.
quently seems to be plenty of room to
shoot by on the right side, but 1T ought
to be remembered that the vehicle ahead
has the first claim to that side of the
road, and would have to move in closer
to it if crowded by anything coming the
other way. Then the erring rider would
be caught in pocket" and might have
serious reason to regret the attempt at
unlawful passing. When two cyclists
riding together wish to go by a wagon
ahead, they will sometimes separate, one
passing on either side of the vehicle.
This is always wrong, and extremely
inconsiderate of the driver, besides being
likely to brighten the horse; and if he
shes, one rider or the other is bound to
be hurt.
looked out for in passing from behind,
and that is to watch carefully for any
thing coming in the opposite direction.
If you have been riding behind a car
riage, and perhaps could not see the
whole road ahead, it is dangerous to
turn out and pass suddenly before as
certalnlng whether the coast is clear.
An experienced bicyclist said recently
that nothing annoyed him more. on his
trips than the carelessness of many
riders about turning around in the middle
OF a much-frequented street or cycle
road. They will do this without the
slightest sign or warning to those be-
hind, and without even looking over their
shoulders to see who may be near.
Under such circumstances it is often inn
possible to avoid collision, or at least
a fall for the innocent rider following,
who swerves violently to one side to
avert disaster. If a vehicle drawn by
horses should be coming close behind
there is danger of the thoughtless turner
being run over.-Harper's Bazaar.

The Captain an Autocrat

From the humblest craft that crawis
across the Atlantic in eleven or twelve
days to the flyers that smash records
in a week between New York and Liver
peol, discipline of the most rigid and
severe character is maintained on board.
The captains word is law in everything.
The Gar of all the Russias is not more
aut0cratic than the captain of an ocean
steamer. AS a general thing he is a.
genial gentleman and scholar. He sits
at the head of the principal table, and 1T
is always distinction to be given
place near him or even seat at his ia
bic. This distinction he cOnfers him
self. leaving the selection of the seats
Of the other passengers to the chief stew
ard or the second steward. AS a gen
eral thing the skipper is fund of anec-
dote. He is well-seasoAed old fellow
in the first place, and then, his contact
with many men of many minds, especial
ly the close contact that one gains at
sea, gives him an experience of men
and things that all the books in the
world would fail to impart.
He controls everything on board, down
even to the manners of his passengers
when they need supervision. If man
should prove himself distasteful to his
companions at the dinner table or in the
smoking room, or if he should over
step the bounds of propriety by practical
joking, he is extremely likely to receive
a courteous but decidedly plain hint
from the captain through his steward.
On one occasion fashily dressed young
woman, who, crossing from Liverpool to
New York, caused considerable comment
among the rest of the passengers by her
outrageous and open Irritation with q
young man who had picked up an ac-
Quaintance with her shortly after leaving
port. They remained on deck at night
Ion 4hN 9th rNnc rnrc hod Isn-
tired This went ON for two nights,
till the captains attention was drawn
to the proceedings of the two. Then
he interfered. He sent civil message
to the young woman, intimating to her
that he expected all the ladies on board
to be in their rooms by IL o'clock.
There is nothing of the sneak or the
spy about the ships captain, but as he
is responsible for his ship and for his
passengers he take pains to know con-
stantly that everything is proceeding cir
cumspectly.
Not long ago young priest, who had
come for the first time to the United
States on mission. went astray. On
his return trip on Cunarder he drank
so heavily that he was on the verge of
delirium tremens. The captain saw his
condition and directed the steward not
to supply him with any more liquor.
This order was strictly complied with
till the bracing air on the water had
brought the unfortunate priest to him
self again. Another matter that the
captain looks carefully after is excessive
gambling on board. Of course he can
not and does not object to a quiet little
game of poker, but if any hint of heavy
betting reaches his ears he quickly in
terferes to put an end to it.
With the men under him the captains
nod is law. He is one of the hardest
working men himself on the ship and he
sees to it that every other peg fits e1-
actIy into its hole=RronklYn EAGLE

While it is generally believed that there
will be no failure to elect President and
Vice President this year through the cleo
boral college. the possibility of such a
contingency is being discussed in various
quarters with more or less seriousness.
The possibilities of a presidential cam
p1ign include some startling propositions,
aad among them Is not only a failure to
eject in the usual way, but failure to
elect either President or Vice President
by House or Senate, and the plunging of
the government into chaos. We do not be-
