One Cause of Freak Bills.

Senator Forney, of the Kansas state
senate, has a young daughter who tells
why her father introduced so many
freak bills in the senate. Whenever
he ran up against anything he didn't
like, she says, s.he would come home
and write a bill again it. There is ons
of his railroad bills, for instance. We
drove to town to church one night, and
there was freight train on the Cross
ing, and it kept us there for twenty
minutes. 1t annoyed pa dreadfully. and
he went home and wrote that bill tic
prohibit trains from obstructing cross
ings more than five minutes. Then one
night somebody stole all our chickens.
The next day pa wrote his chicken bill.
But you will notice that the bill doesn't
protect ducks. Pa don't like ducks.
And he-said if anybody wanted to steal
| them it was all right-the ducks was
punishment enough. Whenever pa sat
down to write a bill We always knew
that something had happened to him, J,

Don't Eat Unless You Are Hungry.

There is a good old maxim which
runs as follows: .'In time of peace pre-
pare for war; and this is as true in
connection with the question of diet in
health as in other things. Too many
people assume that because they enjoy
fairly good health, no improvement
need be effected in their diet. but that
this position is eminently untenable
none who carefully consider the sub
ject will deny. Those whose practice
brings them into contact with the.
weather. classes have frequently an
opportunity of estimating the bad eff
fects of improper diet. AS regards the
poor, they are unable to procure meat
on account of their poverty, and, as a
result, their diet is composed largely of
carbohydrates. In the case of general
sickness, or even without unfavora BILE
climatic conditions, both classes seem
to be unable to resist attacks of dis
ease. 1t is for the most part the APP
parently healthy people who are so
quickly stricken down by disease, while
the chronic invalid may pass through
unscathed, and yet no one seem to UNI
derstand that conditions were present
which predisposed the healthy man or
woman to disease, and that these pre-
existing conditions were largely due
to want of attention to diet It would
be well for those who feel so sure that
they are in perfect health to consult a
doctor for instructions how to avoid
disease: One very common mistake is
to- eat when not hungry, simply be-
cause it is meal time" and act not
one whit less stupid than that of re-
plenishing ones fire because one hears
ones neighbors coal-scuttle rafting,
regardless of the fact that there is
plenty OF coal already on, and that any
addition thereto would be mischievous.

| The fact is that true politeness, the

It is wise cyclometer that shows

It can not be said Of a bicycle rider
that he begins in the way he should go.
AS the handle bar is bent, so shall

A soft answer. turneth away wrath,

The rider who pursueth his way with

AS the spoke is bent, so shall the

straight and narrow way.
The oil cup that goes too long uncoy--

ences. The second one, Bicycling
Through the Dolomites,' 2 appears in the.
current number. Col Waring says:
We found that the bicycle fever had
reached even to our landlord, who was
experimenting with an iron-rimmed
wheel over which the saddle was sup
ported by a pair of elliptic springs.
L tried it, and said it went very
well, though not so soft as the .'pneu.'
81 lifted it, and did not care to go farth-
er. 1 told him it was too heavy. He
said: "Mawknix; muss starker sein"
PROBABLY the extra weight of this wheel
would not be considered in fixing the
load that a Tyrolese peasant would
carry over the hills from the fields,
and need not be regarded as an OBJ
struction to sport. The wheels here
are all much heavier than ours, and
much stronger. They can be sent up
hill by the tougher +hews that grow
in this land, and for safety in going
down hill they have very effective
brakes. The hest brake has two pieces
OF rubber, about two and half inches
long and three-quarters of an inch
square, which are held fiat against the
two quarters of the tire. It holds very
firmly, and it's friction does not come
on the part that is subject to the great
est wear. It is used, not with steady
pressure, but with successive light
squoezes. When one becomes accus-
toned to it, it gives excellent control
to any degree desired-even to hold
ing the machine stock-still under any
load and on any grade. Even the
usual fiat brake has rubber face
which holds better and lasts longer
than metal. My American brakes were
mot in it, on these hills, as compared
with those of the local wheels I rode.
The use Of the brake is exacted by
law in all towns, and it is almost uni
versa! on country roads; SO is the
