CYCLING.

The use of toe-clips, even by lady
riders, is steadily increasing. They
make peddling easier and the foot pres
sure more uniform and more constant;
they keep the foot in place, prevent the
slipping Of pedals at critical times and
save the rider many bad falls and per-
haps serious accidents. Riding with toe
clips is vast y easier than without and no
rider who ever used toc-clips continuous
ly for week was afterwards content to
ride without them.
Few people know where to place the
foot to the reach on a bicycle. The ma
jOrity Of wheclmen are Of the opinion
that the pedal should be on dead CEN
tire at the bottom Of the stroke, this they
argue, being the fu'thest point from the
saddle. This is a wrong impression. TO
get the furhcst point from the saddle
the pedal should be slightly forward of
the bottom Of the stroke, so as to be al
most in direct line with the diagonal
tube which runs from the saddle to the
crank-bracket Testing the reach other
wise, the rider will find himself or her
self over-reached at the most effective
part OF the pedal thrust.
There is Il sad mix up in the puglistic

Lively Times on Election Dev.

Election day in Kentucky was day of
bloodshed, for IA men are reported dead
and many injured as the result of street
fights and riots. In Frankfort there was
bloody street encounter between Demo-
Gratis and Republicans, resulting in the
death of three men and the woundng of
two others.
The difficulty began by Republican or
ganizing party to head off party of
Democrats who, it is claimed, had taken a
number of negroes to the country to pre-
vent their voting.
A race riot occurred at Paris, KY, in
which 100 people participated. Two ne
groes were fatally wounded.
At Lancaster two prominent citizens
fought duel to the death with pistols.
At Paducah, Killion Broyles was killed
by Bates Potter, and at Bardwel Thomas
Creden lost his life from arguing politics
with his neighbor.
At Junction City j. E. Wright and Jason
Blakerty, who were old enemies, met at
the polling place and had desperate quar-
rel over some election matter. Both drew
pistols and duel followed, in which both
men received fatal injuries.
A number of tough characters created a
disturbance at the Crooked Creek precinct
near Mt. Vernon. A sheriff attempted to
restore order, when general shooting af-
fray took place between the sheriff and his
deputies and the disturbers, three of the
latter being killed.

John T. Griffin died at the home of his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John Griffin, on
Shows avenue Saturday evening. He had
been in poor health for about year, and
was obliged to give up work in May, when
it became evident he was victim of the
so common, but dreaded disease, consump-
ton. He was confined to the house only
about two weeks before his death. NJ.
Griffin was a native of Westmorellnd, but
had been an employee in the Hinsdale and
Ashuelot mills for years, during which
time he had made many friends, who will
be saddened by his death, at the early age
of p years and nine months. He is sur
vived by his parents, one sister, Mrs.
James CarmOdy, one brother, James
Griffin of Hinsdale, and one half brother,
George Purcell of Ashuelot. The funeral

day morning, and the burial was in Keene.

To enter on the great work of draining
the Zuyderzee in Holland a sea wall must
grst be built at a cost of $4,000, 900; it
will take nine years to complete it. Be-
hind this sea wall a large lake is to be re-
tanned, to be known as Yssel Lake, to re-
ceive the waters of the rivers now flowing
into the Zee. By means of tidal locks and
canals this water will be allowed to flow
into the ocean at low tide until the salt
water is drained off, and the lake becomes
a gigantic fresh-water reservoir. Naviga-
tion canals will also be dug to put the cities
on the sea coast in communication with
Lake Yssel. 1t will require all the working
force of Holland for a generation, and an
expenditure of 1888, OO0, 900, to reconquer
from the sea the vast tract of submerged
lowlands; but when it is done, twelfth
provence will be added to Holland, which
will form not the least wealthy portion of
the kingdom.

ever completely relieve but a radical
cure. The start of so-called female som.

It may be that in the beginning some small
hygienic measures would stop the trouble.
Certainly at this time, little bit of the
trouble becomes worse, it is harder to cure,
but still 1t can be cured. Dr. Pierce's Fa.

trouble of this character. 1t may be abso-

Unitarian Congregational Society VIII
Get $4,000.

The Unitarian-C congregational society of
Bernardston has won its case against the
estate of the late j. p. Hale of New York
to recover the bequest of $4,000 with in
terest. The contention of the defendants
was that the bequest was outlawed by the
failure of the legatees to claim it. The
supreme court of the city and county of
New York has given a decision awarding
the society the full amount of the bequest
with interest to the date of the suit, the
whole amounting to about $1,000. The
defendant heirs will probably ask for an
other trial. The socety's counsel is Frank
G. Wild and he was assisted in taking
dispositions in Bernardston by L. W. Girls
void of Greenfield.

COrser's Store News

OUR GOODS are bought at
the best adv ,ntage, and sold
right. "Live and let live" is
an excellent motto for anybody,
and we aim to follow it.
As to quality, the best is the
cheapest, as a rule, and the best
is none too good. We aim
rather at quality than quantity
and price.
If a customer gets a class of
goods that suit in quality he
doesn't care so much for the
price. But we still have some
trade who do not care very
much for the quality if the
price is only low. So we try
to supply either class. We
have all the staple groceries
and many of the fancy lines,
of which few years ago were
not kept in town, and in fact
all of our lines are more .om-
plete than ever before.
We have just added steam
heat which we think will bene-
fit us all in many ways, give us
that much needed "more room"
and keep our cellar from freez-
ing, which has been a great
annoyance as We could not eep
fruit and vegetables in the win
ter.
To those who are not our
regular customers we would
like to have call and get prices
and look our goods over.

His inference is correct so far as
some places are concerned, but there
are others where the credulity of the

Mixing fiat with good beer is a prac-
