A Yankee Chainless wheel.

The only chainless wheel shown at
the cycle show was the one which was
displayed at Chicago by New York
firm. 1t is similar to the wheel made in
France, but by mechanical authorities
is considered an improvement None of
the running parts is exposed. The
propelling power is obtained from a
series of beveled gears ON the crank
shaft and the rear axle, connected by a
steel rod running through the right
hand rear frame tube. The present
sprocket is replaced by cogwheel of
the same size running on smaller cog
which is ON the shaft extending to the
rear wheel Tue gears are inclosed in a
case made of aluminium. The tread is
the same as in the present bicycle

Lanplight.

If one is obliged to use kerosene lamps
in the home, they should have metal
fount, especially hand lamps. A glass
kerosene lamp is dangerous thing to
have in ones home, especially where
there are children. Children should
never be allowed to touch lamps of any
kind. Never set lamp ON shelf be-
hind a stove. AS it vents it runs over
and is liable to burst. Never turn down
wick to save oil and fill your room
with poisonous gases. Never keep one
lighted in the sleeping room or sick
room. If you must have a light, burn a
candle. Even twist of paper in sau-
Ger of lard, such as our grandmothers
used, is preferable to the terrible smell
of kerosene, even if it were not poison
Gus. If you have lamp suspended over
your dining table, look out for it. ALI
of which advice emanates from Good
Housekeeping.

THE TARIFF BILL.
Likely TO Undergo Many Changes I'm
the Senate.

Richmond Dispatch.
The general opinion in Washing
ton seems to be that the Senate will
make so many changes in the bill
that Mr.. Dingley himself will scarce
lv recognize it when it leaves the
Sinate Our expectations, no vever,
do not run quite so far. We take
into consideration the power of
Presidential patronage Mr.. NJ Kin
ley is giving out appointments in
driblets only, and it is well under
stood that he is going to stand by
the Senators who stand ny him
Already he has sent away from the
White House personal friends OF his,
with the information that he could
not consider their applications until
these were endorsed by the appi-
cants' Senators. In this w AZ he will
he able TO Exercise powerful Influence
Still, We may confidently count upon
great cha yes being made in the bill
by the Senate. In the end the bill
will go to a committee of conference,
and We may presume that after
mutual concessions it will pass.
We say we presume, because it is a
thing almost too horrible to think Of
that the two houses may so disagree.

/ bill Impossible at this session!
| so long have our people been
trouble with tariff agitation they
would prefer that bad bin should
pass rather than have the country
! continue upset until the Republicans
strengthen their for ces in the Senate
From the best Information accessi :
bic to Us, we conclude that if the bill
becomes law by the LIST OF July, il
Will be all that we may reasonably
expect. In the Senate discussion is
free, and We guess that nearly every
member OF tnat body desires to make
at least one speech upon the tariff.

If we do not make q good use OF
what we have, IL is proof that VT

low the waist. This may be done with
hot wire without any danger of splitting

Evening bodices laced or hooked in front
or at the back should have a small, round
whalebone run in at the edges, as they are
otherwise sure to wrinkle.

white MORE Yelours, and the skirt is trim
med in front with four fine plaitings of
white mousseline de sole. The bodice is
entirely covered with Marie Antoinette
achu of MORE velours embroidered with
butter colored silk and trimmed with
ruches and ruffles of mousseiine de sole.
The ffchu is fastened at the left side and
has long ends falling to the foot of the
skirt. The gown is sleeveless, but long
butter colored gloves are worn.

How to Enlarge a Bodfce-To Put In
Whalebones.

Whalebones.
The princess gown has new lease of life
for cereInonious occasions. 1t has a train,
of course, and is in great favor for bridal
costumes.
The bodice of the present moment, in
spite of its apparent seam1essness, its shir
rings, puflings, plaitings lengthwise and
horizontal, and its blouse effects, is really
very close. 1t has tight lining upon
which all the fullness is carefully arranged;
otherwise it would be baggy and shapeless.
If bodice has become too tight, it
should not be enlarged by adding anything
in the middle of the front, as this displaces
the darts. 1t is better to cut new under
arm piece, making it wide enough to give
the necessary enlargement to the bodice.
The whalebOne used in boning dress
and real whalebone is superior to any of
the substitutes now offered, as it adjusts
itself to the figure-should be neither thick

The Saddle Problem.

When asked why wheelmen generally
were so dissatisfied with their saddles,
q prominent manufacturer recently said:
You can find the same thing among
horseback riders. Few of them ever be-
come satisfied with any one saddle. No
two persons are built alike, so that few
saddles can be found to serve two mas
tiers. The aim of most saddle manufac-
turers is to strike general average.
Saddles, like shoes, gloves and clothing,
should be made especially for those who
are to use them. This naturally costs
more. My experience has taught me
that the most satisfaction IS obtained by
owning three or more saddles of differ
ent makes and using them alternately =

The Wise Bachelor.


The devil might still be an angel if
he hadn't got into politics.
A man is fool who marries for love
alone; woman is fool who doesn't.
A woman likes dog because it ism t
ashamed to howl when it gets lonesome.
When a woman boards the train for
her wedding trip, her ideals fly about
as fast as the telegraph poles.
When you see girl that doesn't act
ashamed to let you see she wears big
shoes, you may be sure she has pretty
feet.
There never was a married woman
who sympatnized with an old bachelor.
and there never was married man
who didn't.
I wonder If it's better for man to
marry a woman he loves, but can't be
happy with, or one he's happy with, but
can't love.

BEET SUGAR.
Indiana Should be Interested in 1t.

"The people Of Indiana are get
ting very deeply interested in the
culture of beet sugar." said Mr.. F.
G.. Ralston Of that state at Wizards.
''The establishment of beet sugar
factories is being considered in
many parts of our western country,
and the benefits they promise to a
community are hattering in the ex
treme.
"The culture OF the sugar beet is
not only profitable but requires the
employment of a large amount OF
unskilled labor, both in the field
and factory. The price of land near
a sugar factory has never failed to
rise ia value.
"But aside from the selling of the
beets and the production of sugar,
there remains after the extraction Of
the saccharine matter very valu-
able product-beet pulp. The re-
fuse from single factory can sup
port a many as 800 head of cat
tie. Cattle and hogs thrive on it,
and prefer it TO any sort OF feed.
All in all, ] do not believe better
paying crop can be raised, and the
next few years will see atremendous
increase in the acreage devoted to
sugar beets. Washington Post.

Women and Postal Banks.

Wherever postal savings banks
are in operation women are among
the most appreciltive patrons OF the
system. As a rule women are more
careful of small sums than men, and
seem To have a more practical reali-

lations. In many families it is on
ly the foresight Of the wife that lead:

day OF adversely.
The desire of women more gen
orally than of men l. for a place Of
absolute safety for their small saw
ings rather than high rates Of inter
est. Consequently they are es-
pecially appreciative Of the stability
which the postal savings bank al

Probably congress could do no
other one thing that would so com

try as would the establishment of a
postal savings bank system.-Chi-

w. CT. U. COLUMN
CONDUCTED BY MRS. NJ. L. HOBBS.


That the tempter who is response
BILE for placing the saloons on our
thoroughfares is greater criminal
than the saloonkeeper's victims, is
aptly illustrated by the following:
Hon. John c. Kunkel, Ct Harris
burg, Pa, who resigned his seat in
congress and entered the ministry
was in his early career as lawyer,
regarded as an indolent young man,
spoiled by wealth and indulgence.
He was briefless young lawyer,
when the Judge asked him to de-
fend a friendly boy arrested for
stealing. The evidence in behalf OF
the state was given without inter
ruption. A miserly old man had
the boy bound to his service. He
wanted to try the boys honesty
He placed silver coins in various
parts of the house to ascertain
whether the boy would steal. FL
nally the temptation succeeded.
The boy took and concealed a hall
dollar. The evidence was clear and
undenied. The prosecuting attor-
ney reviewed the proof, and not a
ray of hope could be seen for the
defenseless boy. His assigned
counsel had not opened his mouth.
But now he arose, apparently en-
barrassed and hesitating, and
reached for a book. The audience
Uttered, and derisive voice was
heard to say, Hes got hold of the
Bible for a law book" Kunkel
looked up with courage and ex-
claimed, "Justice wants no better
law book" and upon this text he
made his maiden speech. His elo-
quence and logic soon convicted the
miserly old tempter and won sym
pathy for the friendless, tempted
boy. The accuser crept from the
court room TO escape mob violence,
and the boy was triumphantly vindi-
Gated and acquitted.
Moral: Let the friends of the
tempted rise in righteous indigna-
tion on election day and voice their
sentiments at the polls in such a
manner that Governors Boise, Jack
son, Drake, and Others who are re-
sponsible for the mulct saloons in
Iowa, will convict them for their
crimes against civilization, and re-
move the tempting saloons that are
Turing men and boys to destruction.
