Now York Evening Telegram.
'tWhat is the best way to Learnt" is
the question asked OF every Wheel
woman by her friends who contemplate
cycling. and the answer is frequently the
recommendation OF a pet riding school
or club where tuition is given; hut
these can be easily dispensed with II
some cycling friend will devote a small
portion of her time to giving the no
ginuer few hints and the machine a
stesdying hand.
Having mounted with tho friends
assistance. the next thing to be- mastered
is the art of keeping your balance.
To the finished rider it seems incredi-
BILE that there should ever have been a
time whom this was a matter OF dill
Guilty, yet until the knack ia acquired
it is very real one. Sit straight-that
is the secret: hut this is easier said
than done. Sit straight ard perfectly
upright, with your shoulders square
with the handle bars anu your gaze
fixed upon the road few yards in front
OF tho machine.
At first you will list over to the right
side or the left. and here your friends
helping hand comes in and assists yor
TO reuover the perpendicular by placing
her hand upon your waist. She shoulc
correct you whenever the sightea
tendency to lean to one side manifesto
itself. Following those instruction.
with patience and perseverance, il Tho
only way to acquire balance. Som'
muster tho knack in few minutes,
others in few weeks, says tho lady.
An article much used in clyinl
schools abroad, capital for assisting botl
teacher and pupil, is a leather bol
fitting tho waist, some six or eigh
inches doep; behind it is furnishes
with handle. which tho teacher hold
in her right hand, thereby supporting
and regulating the riders movements
whiie with her left she guides th

destruction. about s. 30 o'clock Tuesday
evening. Tho bravery of Mrs johnson
prevented serious contlagratiun and
but slight damage was done.
Shortly after o'clock, Sarah, one Of
Mr.. Johnson's daughters, assembled the
stairway with lamp, which sue placed
at the head Of the stairs. She had
scarcely left the lamp before it became
disarranged and toppled over, falling
down stairs. The oil, whiuh saturated
the entire stairway, became iguited. and
10 AN instant there was blaze from
the first TO the second story.
The occupants of the house became
alarmed and Mr.. johnson ran TO the
Fame engine house, and informed the
members that his house was ON fire. In
the meantime Mrs. johnson caught up
a bucket Of water and threw 1t on the
fire. The water had but little effect,
hut she succeeded in smothering the
flames with large piece OF carpet,
which she found in the store room.
As snon as the fire was. discovered the
neighbors rushed in to aesist in ex-
tinpuishing the flames, but the greater
part of the work was done by Mrs.
johnson, and, strange to say, although
at times she was surrounded ny fire, she
was not injured in tho least.
As soon as the Fame members were
notified they hastened to the scene, hui
Mrs. johnson had worked so quickly thai
there was no fire when they reached the
