makeup, the proper saddle called for by
his conformation and whatever else re-
iatas TO what is best for the individual
rider cannot be determined by reading or
listening to the talk OF those who have
bicycles and accessories to sell. A prac-
teal trial of the things that are offered is
necessary to ind out what one should

Every beginner. who is necessarily with

changes IN many things IL he would use

A Pleasure Briuger.

The bicycle has helped 10 diffuse the
enjoyment Of summer sports and pastimeA
Bicycling is TO the land what boating Is TO
the water. But the bicycle is Of more uss
and pleasure than the boat because Of the
possibilities that attach to X.
The excusiveness heretofore possessed
by seaside resorts and inland watering
places Ks passing away. Sailing, rowing
and conoeing are delightful pastimes, but
boating. at best. is circumscrihed in its
extent and possibilities. Wind and wave
and the shore line are all barriers to a

Chicago Tribune.
The Iowa house Of representatives has
passed an antiSunday baseball law.
which. however. excerpts Second Advent
lists and Seventh Day Baptists from its
provisions. allowing them TO play ball on
Sunday. The law Is an extraordinary one.
10 say the least. The favored sects named
above keep Saturday as their Sabbath. be-
cause IL IS the day on which the Lord
rested after his six days labor. according
To the Chaldean account. which was ac-
cepted BY the Jews and given out by
Moses. Other sccts keep as their Sabbath
the first day or Sunday which was made
tire day 81 rest by the half-converted and
not altogether excellent Constantine, and
which was kept sacred only in the fore
noon. rs IL is now In Catholic European
countries and In all places where Puritan
ism IS not stili In force, as II is IN the
United States. England and Scotland.
Under the provisions of this bill If IL
shall become law, the son OF n Methodist.
Baptist. Presbyterian. Epi&copalian or
Roman Catholic cannot pray. ball on sun
day. the day set apart by Constantine as
the Sabbath. but the son Of Second Ad-
ventist or Seventh Day BAPTIST can play
on that day with inipunity. and as far az
the law IS concerned he can play on his
own Sabbath saturday. without any trou-
bile. except so far as IL may be made for
him Wy his church or his parents. He can
play every day in the week TIE outcome

Sugar Product of 1897.

The sugar season of 1897 was
over some time ago, but figures
showing even an approximate pro-
duction are hard to get, says the
Rutland Herald. c. ]. Bell, presi-
dent of the Maple Sugar Makers
association, writes that the "maple
sugar and syrlp product for Yer
mont for 1897 was 10000, 900 to 49,
600, 900 pounds, one-third increase
from 1906 and double the product of
1895" 1t is thought that there was
rs much sugar made in 1894 as dur
ing the past season. 1t seems to be
the general opinion of sugar makers
that this seasons crop was as fine in
quality as was ever made. The
weather. taken altogether, could
hardly have been improved upon.
President Bell SAYS that Vermont
makes nearly If not quite one-halt
the maple sugar and syrup produced
in the United States. There are g
maple-producing states in the Union
and the crop this year was probably
over 10000, 900 pounds. New York

veterans of Abraham Lincoln Post
at White River Junction last Sun
day of which the Lam dmark fur

"While ready to sacrifice ourselves
for our country we need not go about
Dragging what the Nation can do.
Leave that to politicians who like to
hear themselves talk, and newspaper
correspondents with their ink-sling-
ing. Men who do the fighting are
not boosters. "A man who in state
or congress would save his life--po-
litically-by going against his con-
victions may save it at present but
will lose it in the next generation.
"Iou did not invite me here to
say smooth things, but as Il preacher
of righteousness. l say that patriot
ism and self-sacrifice must be con-
sistent. The country is ready to
do honor to its heroes. But when,
thirty years after the war has closed,
we find u pension list as large as the
expense of keeping up a standing
army in Germany. it shows that the
self-sacrifice that animated one gem
Grafton is gone. Bleeding the coun-
IT,, instead of bleeding for the coun-
try is mark of tins generation. Our
pensions make our country an object
of Jest and ridicule in the ewes of
other nations. The tone of public
sentiment must be raised to stop this.
