SAFE RULES FOB BICYCLING.
Things to Do and to Avoid, as Set Forth by
a Physieian.

Physician.
l. In purchasing a wheel take as
much care to have it fit you as you
would in obtaining a gown or a suit
of clothes.
2 BE sure that when sitting upright
you do not have to reach to maintain
the ball of the foot on the pedal dur
ing an entire revolution.
3. Adjust the handle bars at level
which, when the arms are fully eX-
tended, will keep the body in an almost
upright position. In riding long dis
tances, the handle bars should be drop
ped a trifle, so as to increase the ley
erage by backward as well as a for
ward push.
4. Before purchasing a wheel make
an arrangement with the dealer where
by you may be allowed to make trials
of different saddles until you find one
that is perfectly comfortable, for a
properly fitting saddle is the most nee
essary element in safe and comfortable
riding. Ne one saddle will fit all rid
ers; sometimes many must be tried
before the correct model is found. In
cline to a saddle that is stiff and mod
erately provided with springs. and
which is broad and short, rather than
long and narrow a soft saddle, wheth
er of padded leather or inflated rubber,
will always chafe when ridden long
distance. The pommel found on the
majority of saddles is a very neces-
sary adjunct; it cannot be dispensed
with. There must be sufficient cut ont
at the sides of the saddle so that there
will be no interference with the mus
clcs of the interior and posterior aspect
of the thigh on the downward stroke.
This lack of common concavity to the
sides is n common defect in the many
so-ealled anatomical saddles. The
most important object to be attained i'll
the adjustment of the saddle is to have
the pommel high enough to give the
body a slight tendency TO slip back
ward.
3. The average woman should never
ride a wheel geared higher than 6l
inches; the average man higher than
20 inches. Remember that the higher
the gear, the greater the power re

that Il good nights sleep will not en-

Twenty five to fifty miles day, ae-
eordng to the surface of the country,
should not be exceeded by the average
rider.
T. Always walk up Il steep hill; 1t
saves your heart.
S. Never ride simply with the idea of
arriving at the earliest possible mo
ment at a given destination; ride for
the pleasure that is to be gotten from
it.

BULLETIN ISSUED.
Cotton Opening Very Fast and Much Has Been
 Picked.

Special to The Age-Herald.
 Montgomery, Sept. 22-The Alabama section of the climate and crop service sends out today the following bulletins:
 During the week ending September 20 the weather was generally warm and dry over this entire section, except the last two nights which were rather ccol but not enough so to be injurious to ma turing crops; the only rainfall was light and scattered and hardly enough to af- feet harvesting of crops.
 Cotton is opening very fast and much picking has been done; many corr9spon- dents report it as stopped making fruit and the concensus of opinion is that the top crop is not worth reckonig on; cat erpillars are injuring the lowland crop in some southern countries; there is s,il considerable complaint of shedding on sandy land, though rust is not So general as at last report; it is now Though. the bulk of the crop will be gathered tv October 15 or 20, and there seems to be mo doubt that the yield will be decidaly sihcrt of an average one. Late corn is being housed in good condition, but the yield will be shorter than anticiratel in some northern counties; the entire corn yield for the year will be far short of an average one; very good fodder and hay crops have been saved; sweet po- tatoe only fair yield; sorghum pod crap and cane while promising, will be bs- low an average yield; field peas good crop; rice, fair yield; apples are TO :ti1g badly in some localities, but grapes have made good yield

DAY OF DISASTERS.
Riggs Twaddle Committed Suicide at Lincoln.
 A Negro Falls in a We'll.

Special to The Age-Heral
 Lincoln, Sept. 22-At o'clock 'fs
 morning Riggs waddle, a youngTvih1'tef 'f
 man, aged 91 years, comm1f. suicide
 at the home of H. H. He-..g, three miles
 north of Lincoln. Sabous 5 o'clock he
 went to tb~gotton field In apparently
 cheerf,-spirts. At 8 o'clock he return
 ca the house and asked the young la dies, daughters of Mr. Herr1rg, where he could find loaded shells. Supposlng he wanted to shoot some small game he was given a correct answer. Waddle then entered his room and in very short time the young ladies heard a shot, ard one of them opened the door, which Waddle had previously closed, just in time to see him fall.
 The entire top of his head down. to the base of his nose was blown off i'm two pieces, each piece falling on different beds located on either side of the un- fortunate man. His brains fell out on the floor ard every pant of the rocrn was more or less marked wftah his blood The gun was a double -barreled, breech-Ioad- ing shot gun, loaded with No. shot, and the left hand barrel was the one which did the work. Coroner Richard Hene, of Talladega. was telegraphed for and came up and held an inquest Monday evening. The verdict of the jury was tha,. he came to his death by the dis charge of a gun in his own hands. No motive for his rash act could be dfscov- cred.
 At 2 o'clock Mcnlay evening Perry Embry, colored man, aged S6 years, living five miles northwest of Lincoln, sat down on the partially decayed curb ing of well, which gave way, and Elmbrey fell into the well, breaking his neck.
 At 4 o'clock Monday evening Rev. T. K. Trotter, psEIor of the Lincoln Baptist church, received telegram sta ting that his wife, who is at the bedside of a very sick saster-in-law at Dukes, Ala, had fallen and dslocated her hip. .
