SOME LATE new THINGS.

To open tin cans easily. without the
I aid of can operer. simple device con-
ssts of band around the upper edge
of the can rim with projecting ear to

from the can, when the end of the can

Water skates are just coming into use
broad fiat plate with an upturned
rounded front end being strapped to
the foot. the under side of the plate be-
ing fitted with folding fins which open
as the foot starts to slide backward and
close as it moves forward on the water.
One of the latest handy combinations
consists of a step ladder which can be
changed into a table. the steps folding
fiat and fitting together TO form the
top, the ladder supports being divided
in the center and attached to the
corners of the ladder to form the legs Of
the table.
Street cars are now being built with
vestibuled ends. in which folding doors
are used to inclose the motorman's Sec
tion, leaving room enough on each end
of the car for passengers to enter the
car without interfering with the mo-
torman, the doors fitting in a recess
when not in use.
In a new ice velocipede the wheel is
fitted on two runners, with slot in the

whole appliance folding up in a small
bundle easily attached to the wheeR-

USE OF TOE CLIPS.
They Are of Real VaIue in Spite of
Old Traditions.
apl. oily. 1897.

Old Traditions.
Many cyclists scorn the use of toe
clips as the fad of the scorcher. That
is where they err. A sense of security
is invaluable to the cyclist. If he is
well seated and feels certain of firm
hold upon grips and pedals, the diff
culties and annoyances of rough rid
ing are greatly lessened. The toe clip
as applied to the old-time wheel. was
most dangerous thing for road use
and affected only by daring riders who
fancied imitation of the racing man
the chief end of cycling existence. But
the invention of the safety" and con-
sequent passing of the header" adj
vanced the clip to leading place
among accessories and gave it new i'm.
portance. The common assertion that
the toe clip is dangerous may be re-
garded as wholly due to lingering mem
cries of bruised heads and bloody noses.
primarily caused by misplaced conf
dence in the appurtenances in the days
of its use on the high bicycle. The only
fall sane rider can get from a safety
is side fall, the bad results of which
cannot be much increased through use
of toe CLIPS,

The Curse of Farming.

The first great lesson that we must
learn to avoid waste. That has beer
the curse of farming. We pay taxes on
land that we do not farm; we only half
cultivate our fields, and so waste both
land and labor; we have large per.
centage of crop in field; we waste
time and capital raising inferior ami
mails; we waste money in buying what
we should raise ourselves; we waste en-
ergy in trying to 90 more than any one
man can do right; we waste opportuni.
ties to improve our condition by staying
away from institutes and by neglect
ing to read papers; we waste-in thou
sand and one ways we waste and then
we are ready to say that farming
doesn't pay" Troy IN. " Times.

NV Thought md Hern.

The gray of the sea and the gray of the sky.
A glimpse of the moon like a lf-closed
eye;
The CLEAN on the waves and the lights on
the land,
A thrill in my heart-and my sweetheart's
hand.
She turned from the sea with a woman's
grace,
And the light fell soft on her upturned face,
And / thought of the floodtide of infinite
bliss
That would flow to my soul with a single
kiss.
But my sweetheart is shy. so dared not
ask
For the boon, so bravely wore the mask;
But into her face there came a flame
/ wonder could she have been thinking the
same?

And thinks It might be brushed,
And says that when / tied my tie

1T is SAID

That with money man may pur-

That those who are much together

That memories of what we learn

That there is no emotion ever invent

controlled or purchased by hard cash.

Death loveth not the woeful heart,
Or the soul that's tired of living.
Nay, it's up and away
With the heart that's gay
And the life that's worth the giving
Seldom he stops where his Welcomes sure
Where age and want are signing.
Nay, it's up and away
For he scorns to stay
With the wretch who would be dying.
All, it's youth and love and cloudless sky
The epicurean's after.
Nay, it's up and away
When the worlds in May
And life is full of laughter.

DnY nv Day.

Day by day the year unfolds
All its chamber-treasure holds;
Day by day the leaves expand
Till the green wood tents the land;
Then we ask some smiling morn:
when was summer born?"
Day by day some beauty wanes
From the forest. from the plains;
Now the Swaziland now the sheaf-
Day by day the falling leaf:
Then, some lonely eve, we sigh:
when did summer die?"
