one Yiem of Gear.

The average gear on wheels this
year is about 66i TO 6S. For ordinary
riding purposes the gear should GER
tainly not be higher than this, as 1t
will be found hard to propel a wheel
up hin or against strong wind. Do
not let so much of the talk about how
easy it is to acquire speed with high
gear lead yoh into ordering your wheel
too highly geared. The saving in the
number of pedal revolutions on very
high gear is not nearly so great as is
commonly supposed, and 1t can be set
down as truth that if you wish to go
fast you must pedal fast. while II Is
also true that the exertion required to
make each revolution of the wheel In
creases proportionately to the height
of the gear. The best average gear
it has been found from experience, is
66s.-New York Herald.

Thought OF the wrong machine.

Inability to recall names causes enl-
barrassment sometimes. There is a
Boston society woman who cannot re-
memeber names, neither can her daugh-
ter. One day, according TO the re-
later of the story, they met Mrs
Howe, ard afterwards said to each
other: ''Now, we shall be continually
seeing her, so do let us try TO recall her
name" II know what we can d." re-
marked the daughter. "Howe invented
the sewing machine, didn't he? Well
just think Of machines and wc'fl &c sure
to get her name" The two ladies wcr,
to five O'Clock a few days afterward
and Mrs. Howe was there. Up saileG
the mother with her sweetest smile AMI
exclaimed: "My dear Mrs. Singer, how
delighted am TO see you again." Soon
afterward the daughter appeared and
with equal charm Of manner exclaimed:
my dear Mrs. Wilcox, how are your
