For our own little arguments there Is

Gent reason; for the disputes OF other
folk the excuse appears eT9rs alsurdIy

Greig and Miss Elsie Norman, both re-
turning from India on the Bengal,
should break off with amazing sudden
ness their engagement just as the Ben
gal was nearing the Bay OF Biscay it
was not easy to see.
But they did.
"And I suppose" said young Greig,
with a face that looked less bronzed
than usual that nothing | can say will
alter your decision? Your mind Is
quite made up?'
ut always is declared Miss Norman.
She held tightly to the brass rail and
looked away at the spot in the distance
which represented Spain. II is best

structor holds the latter to prevent the pu-
oil from tipping away from him. II the
pupil falls toward him he catches him. The
strap gives a feeling of security, and the
pupil pedals with confidence not born OF
black and blue spots.
CANNOT MOUNT.
The question Of mounting and dlsmount-
ing is not taught except casually, as the
pupil mounts and gets off. So. when he ar
rives at shore, he has yet a lesson to take.
The road lessons" so necessary TO every
learner, are easy things after the experience
aboard ship The hills and dales present
no terrors, and the question of turning
out" has been learned from the extreme
caution necessary in avoiding the ropes
and posts aboard ship. But the car tracks,
the wagon wheels, the ruts and the slip
perry places must all get their share of lee
turing from the instructor. But after be-
ing taught at sea, one or two road lessons
will suffice, even for the most cautious.
So great is the cycling craze now that
ship captains are more than willing to give
up part or the deck to the exercise. And
they are perfectly prepared TO stretch ropes
or in other ways fortify the sides. so that
all danger of accident is past. People in
falling from wheel, unless in going down
Hill, do not take headers. There would be
no danger of diving frantically overheard
from the saddle of a refractory wheel.
When beginners fall they get a dump"
The wheel wObbles, they try TO catch them
selves, make a wrong movement, and down
they go all in a little heap, with the bicy-
Gle on top, by some strange arrangement Of
things.
The one who really works at these les
sons is the instructor. He. poor. respon-
sible man. feels 1t a disgrace to allow his
pupil to fall. And when he takes a begin
ner he practically pledges himself to keep
that pupil in the saddle until he has learn
ed 10 keep the saddle for himself. Aboard
the ship the first lurch sends the timid
balancer out of the little leathern triangle
of a saddle plump into the loag-suffering
arms of the instructor. The second mrch
sends the pupil as far the other way. and it
is one fun lesson before he learns that the
saddle of a bicycle is like the saddle of A
horse-always ready for you if you are
ready for it. The saddle will hold YOU il
you will only stick fast to it, But. oh,
dear, it takes practice before faith in
wheels and leather are developed.
THE OUTFIT.
The bicycle instructors outfit is kit of
tools for mendrg a bicycle; set Of saddles
for all tastes, and wheels both masculine
and feminine. lie has to deal with people
Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1896-07-12

who are not used TO putting up with
everything" and ne must accommodate
himself to them. The woman who cannot
possibly ride anything but nickel wheel
must be met as far as her demands are
concerned. And the man who has heard of
such and such a saddle must have it pro-
duced for him. even though the willy in
struttor has 10 carve the saddles name

II cycling aboard ship IS half as much
fun as on land there Will have to be cycle
galleries constructed around the decks, and
cycling hours will be bulletined for all TO
read. \ rainy day gallery will also be
built. and cycling at sea will be the subject

cycling suits. He has sweaters and blazers
and knee breeches for men; and trim little
caps. blouses. coats apd knee skirts for
women. These he will rent by the lesson

The number Of lessons required 10 teach
the bicycle aboard ship will be about eight
So the instructor calculates. They NUT be
taken two a day. from the day after the
ship sails. Each lesson will half hour

The first lesson IS the hardest. In learn

In dipping the waves the effect is like go

Two West Superior men have in
vented a new means of heating dwell
ings, which promises comfort on the
basis of close economy, and places
advantages within reasonable means.
It is combination kitchen range and
heater The plan is to heat the en-
tire house with hot water direct from
the kitchen range while fire is kept
for cooking, and the extra expense
over that of fire for cooking alone
will not be more than the cost of two
or three tons of coal. That is for a
house of ten to twelve rooms. In the
range is damper which can be OPP
ened during the winter when it is
necessary to heat all of the house
and the same fire will heat water for
warming the house and do the cook
ing; but in summer, when only cook
ing is required, the damper is kept
closed and the fire is built in another
box, directly under the cooking grid
dies, and only water enough is heated
to supply the bath and other house
hold needs.
