we should be presented with an appre

true that the arsenic is confined In the

in even small quantities, gives rise to

toms which we are accustomed to asso-

reports that arsenic is present in more

cheaper specimens, but is met with

many and other countries the use OF
arsenic by paper manufacturers is pro-

CARRIED TO EXCESS.
Mania for Light Wheels Needs the APP

No reason can be advanced why

His objection to a brake cannot De
founded on its cost or weight, because
it costs nothing, and the weight Is so
small as not to be noticed except by a
rider with a plant imagination.
The matter OF weight is vegy much
overdoue, and riders make too much
fuss over an ounce added here or there.
AS matter of fact, pound or so one
way or the other makes very little II
any difference to the ordinary road
rider He doesns feel it, and generally
his wheel is a great deal better for the
extra weight in it. In track Work the
weight will make a difference, OF
course but racing wheel can be cut
down in weight TO the very last notch.
Up to the point where the rightly OF
the wheel is maintained it is perfectly
safe 10 reduce the weight. But the rae
ing wheel is used on a smooth track,
where the conditions are perfect. Such
a wheel would never do for road work
of any kind though they are frequently
used for that purpose. That the wheels
stand the strain to which they are sub
iected is more matter OF gCod luck
than anything else.
Whether on level roads or on hills or
anywhere else, every rider should have
his wheel equipped with brake OF
some kind. Those VINO object to the
hand brake should use one OF the foot
brakes recently introduced, which are
very neat and answer every purpose IN

HOW DICKENS WROTE.
The Novelist was Systematic and Meth
odical in His Work.

Stephen Fiske presents most inter
estiug pen picture Of Dickens, his family
and of "Gads Hill, where he was
frequent and welcome guest, in the
Ladies' Home Journal. OF Dickens
method of work Mr.. Fiske says; Dur
ing my visits Dickens was not at Work
upon a novel, but he shut himself IN
Fechtegs chalet from II a. m, to
D. m. almost every day. This was an
other part of his methodical system
If he felt in the mood he would write
an 'Uncommercial Traveller article; II
not he would answer letters, read All
Tie Wear Refund proofs jot down ideas
fill M the time with some sort OF
literary labor This, he told me, was
his self discipline. The one room IN
the chalet was sparsely furnished, ano
had widows on all sides commanding
que. pleasant views of fields and plan
tAtions. He seldom talked Of his books,
bu. ere rainy day he showed me the
bound manuscript Of one OF them, and
told me his method Of planning a story
Having selected a subject he would write
down the name of the hero and sur
round 1t with queries: Shall he be
rlcho Parents or guardians" Defraud-
ed OF his property? An early love?
and so on with the other characters as
they occurred TO him. He always used
blue ink, and so did Yates and Hal
Iliday. and the other writers of what
was then the Dickens school, They
all called him chief, and he liked the
