CUT IN BICYCLES.
Coney Island Dealers Sell $1OOWheeI
for $50.

New York, June 11-Reform has
struck Coney Island. New signs along
the boulevard proclaim that 500 bicyc-
les Of a standard make and really
meant to sell for S100 are on sale for
$50 each. One OF the largest concerns
in the country has cut it's side line of
second grade wheels from $50 to s65
and from $50 to $50 to meet the slash
made by the mushroom manufacturers.
A big delegation Of would-be bicyc-
lists went over to PHILADELPHIA Satur-
day to get a. 800 wheel of standard
make advertised by a big dry goods
store at S25 each for that day only.

San Francisco Call. Perhaps the
most absurd and illogical argument of
the goldites is. that if you melt a SO
gold piece its commodity value is still
$40. and that ten silver dollars melted
are worth about So as commodity Of
course that is So Would anyone be
fool enough to sell his 25s grains OF
standard gold for less than $40 when
he could carry it to the mint and have
it coined into $40 without expense? Is
that not why standard gold bullion is
of equal value with the same quantity
coined? Would 1929 grains of stand
ard silver have a commercial value of
only 50 cents, if its owner had the privi-
lege of taking it to a mint and having
it coined without expense to himself
into 81. Does not the coin value of sill
yer and gold fix their commodity value?
A Mexican silver dollar may be melted,
but it retains its value Of 81 because
its owner can take it to the mint and
have it coined into 81 free of charge.
Therefore. what is it that makes me-
taliic money honest money? Why,
simply giving it the privileges of the
mint Nothing more nor less. AS we
have said the reason why 258 grains
( of standard gold is worth $40 is because
the government viii stamp Ten Dol
( lars" upon it and make a legal tender
for that number Of dollars. Now. all
! that the advocates of bimetallism ask
is that the same privilege be given
7 4121k grains Of standard silver that is
given to % $40 grains of standard gold.
then the whole problem of bimetalhc
! money win have been solved.

HINTsFoR THE HOME LAUNDRY.

The difficulty experienced by house
keepers generally in having washing
dene at home causes many who can i'll
afford the expense to send their clothes
to laundries, where inferior soap and
injurious washing fluids are used,
while if proper attention is given the
work it may be done quite as satisfac-
toriIy in the home laundry.
Assert the clothes, divide the table
and bed linen from the wearing apparel,
and the fine garments from the colored.
First immense the white articles in
hot water and wash carefully with
Ivory soap. After all are taken through
the suds, put in tub, pour boiling wa
ter over them, let cool, wash out in clear
water, rinse in blue water, wiring,
starch and hang on the line. The col
ored clothes should then be washed
IN the same way. without scalding.
When all are dry they should be taken
from the line, sprinkled, folded evenly
and laid in the clothes basket. The
ironing must be done with hot, clean
irons, and the clothes hung up to air.

The cOssACK DRILL
Net Compulsory, But Beneficial to United
States CaValrymen.

| Net Compulsory, But Beneficial to United
! States Cavalrymen.
The Cossack drill as it is known, is
not a compulsory drill in the United
States army in any sense OF the word.
1t is offered to the men, and they may
learn it or not, as they please. Troop
Us men Seventh United States cavalry
have learned it perfectly, and they dis
played it last spring i'll the field i'll
state of absolute perfection. Speak
| ing of the drill at Fort Riley, Capt.
Darlington said:
'What the public has named the Cos
sack drill, as far as it applies to my
troop, is the introduction of acrobatic
feats into the cavalry drill, and has
for its object variety and relief from
the tedium of formal drill, cultivation
of se1f-confdence in the rider and the
thorough training of the horse. 1t is
the means of creating interest on the
part of the soldier in his horse, which
is the first step in the making of a cav
alryman. 1t also brings about a healthy
spirit of rivalry in feats of horseman-
ship, as well as in the care and train
ing of the horses.
"The animals are taught to lie down,
rider up, primarily to discipline them,
and, secondarily, the principle can be
successfully applied in the secreting
of small detachments of cavalrymen,
such as patrols or scouts. With troop
of trained horses such small bodies Of
troops can be almost instantly con-
cealed in ravines, washes, tall grass or
slight underbrush, and an enemy pass
very close to such a concealed force
without being aware of its existence.
The soldier, if occasion requires, may
fire over their horses on the ground,
using them as breastworks. This is d
valuable feature, and not only pro
tects the man, but if the horse escapes
injury as well the soldier has good
mount under him upon which to get
pway if he is too close pressed. You
know, in war it has ofttimes become
necessary for soldiers to kill their
horses to use their carcasses as breast
works. In such a case, even if the en-
envy be driven off, the 'cavalryman finds
himself in a very undesirab bic position,
afoot in an enemy's country. Again.
in accustoming the horse to the reports
Of firearms, for when he is down and
his head held down he is perfectly pow
erless to get away.
''The degree of self confidence which
the men acquire from this drill is also
to be considered. When a man finds
that he can stand on his head on his
horse, while at a gallop, ne has a bet
ter opinion of himself and will make
extra efforts to further improve both
himself and his horse. Improvement
in horsemanship,s skill in the use of arms
when mounted. nerve, confidence and
good judgment have been most marked
since I began this drill in my troop
about 21s years ago. Portland Ore
