WOMEN WITH WHEELS.

Miss Yatman, a member of the Excel
sior Cycle club Of New York, claims a
record of 8, 600 miles for the season.
Let every woman remember" says
the old rider, that correct position
calls for nearly straight arms. The bend
at the elbow should be very slight.
Two women riding brakeless cycles
recently undertook to coast some steep
grades in Druid Hill park, Baltimore.
Painful injuries, including several ugly
cuts, resulted.
Princess Maud, who married Prince
Carl of Denmark, will not lack for
means of locomotion. Among the pres
ents received are not less than AZ ladies'
bicycles, for it IL known that Princess
Maud is an enthusiastic wheelwoman.
One Of the FIRST presents made by the
queen of Italy TO her new daughter-in-
law, the Princess Helene of Montenegro,
was magnificent bicycle with ivory
handles and decorated with the arms of
Savoy and Montenegro in enamel and
gold. The queen evidently means TO
keep on good terms with her daughter
in-law.

COFFEE IN NICARAGUA
CROP FELL SHORT DURING THE
YEAR 1896.
Planters Are Making Preparations to
Cultivate Sugar Cane Instead of
Coffee-The Sale of Free Labor.

A correspondent writes from Mana
qua, Nicaragua, TO New York as fol-
lows: A terrible state of affairs pre-
walls in the labor market here. The
system of selling labor has resulted in
reducing very large numbers of-men,
women and children to a state of slav-
cry. Owners of coffee estates recently
held meeting with the object of in
fuencing the Government of Nicara-
qua to establish in Cuba a labor
agency to induce Cuban laborers to
migrate to Nicaragua.
Men and women here are now en-
deavoring by every possible means ex-
cepting an armed revolution, to escape
from the servitude incident to the sale
of their labor, authorized by the CON
stitution of Nicaragua and enforced as
vigorously as possible by the military
power, until the money for goods adj
vanced to them and interest thereon
and heavy fines for delinquency have
been paid in full by labor at low rates.
This years crop of coffee in Nicara-
qua is estimated at about 80 per cent
of a full crop. The deficiency has been
caused by insufficient rains during the
year. The twigs on which the coffee
crop of 1897 is to. be borne are fror,
drought so short and small as not TO
be able to yield full crop in many
estates in Nicaragua this year. A num-
Der of persons in Nicaragua, especially
in the eastern portion, are making
preparations to cultivate sugar cane
instead of coffee as heretofore.

THE LIFE OF A WHEEL.
With Good Care a Bicycle Should Last
Four Five Years.


with Good Caro- a Bicycle Should Last
Four or Five Years.
The question is asked, "What is the
life of good wheel?" Much depends,
of course, on the usage it receives. TAX
ing for granted that it is not abused, it
may be said in a general way that a
wheel should last four or five years
without losing the essential quality Of
easy running. There are lots of bicycles
Of the 1892 pattern now in use. They
do not move so easily as wheels made in
1896, but that is more often on account
of improved methods of construction in
the newer wheel than because the old
one is worn out. This estimate does not,
of course, apply to racing wheels or the
wheels Of men who do centuries" every
other day or so. 1t is based on the as
moderate sort, who covers an average Of
about 70 miles a week during nine
months of the year-that is, about 8, 900
miles in the course of the IL months.
In other words, really good bicycle
should hang together in fairly good con-
dition till it has been ridden 10, 900 or
$4,000 miles. In that period two chains
may be worn out and three pairs of tires,
and possibly it may be found advisable
to change some of the balls in the bear
ings. This does not mean that the rider
will have all the satisfaction enjoyed
by the man who always rides the wheel
of the year. 1t simply means that, if he
mada n iudicial selection in the first
place, he will have mount, more or
less comfortable, for the period men
toned. New York Pest.

To .sTrue" the spokes.

The grating noise sometimes heard
while riding, which is often attributed
to the chain or sprooket. is frequently
the result of the spokes being untrue.
To ''true" the spokes, get piece Of
chalk. pencil sharpened; hold the chalk
near the lower rim, SO that it will just
miss the spoke, and then revolve the
wheel. AS the spokes which need tight
ening come into contact with the chalk
they will be marked and can be tight
ened. Then, in the same manner, find
the next loose spoke, until all have been
adjusted. Spin the wheel around once
more, and if none of the spokes is
marked the wheel is true, SO far as the
spokes are concerned. New York

QUEER PARIS CUSTOM.
Dandics who Carry Canes and Ride In
Long Trousers.

Dandies Who Carry Canes and Ride In
Long Trousers.
"In Paris" said q New Yorker who
recently returned from the French me.
tropois. at is considered the smart
thing for men to ride on the Bots not in
bicycle costume, but in ordinary cloth
ing, with long trousers, and quite as q
man would dress for an afternoon walk.
The only difference lies in the fact that
the trousers are turned up very high.
sltil they show the sock above the shoe.
lhe socks were always elaborate, and il
the shoes worn were not low patent
feathers, they were of tan with white
canvas tops, or of patent leather with
tan REORGANIZATION very dear to the
hearts of Frenchmen, although they
have never become popular here among
well dressed men. A conspicuous fea-
ture of the costume is the cane, which il
carried in the hands, parallel to the
handle bars of the machine. The cane is
not merely ornamental, but is used for
a very practical purpose. If rider
wants to stop and speak to an acquaiut-
ance on one of the walks along the road,
be keeps the wheel upright by sticking
the cane into the ground. This is re-
garded as the proper fashion for after
noon riding, but only by the dandies
Most of the Frenchmen who ride are
quito as enthusiastic and earnest about
it as we are here. Most Of the women
who wear bloomers now are of class
that is very distinct from those who
have returned to skirts. A year ago
boomers were very general among all
classes of women riders But now they
have practically been given up only to
those who have no objection to attract
ing the sort of attention which the
bloomers do even in Paris. 1t has be-
come very general, too, to see women
in this costume about the streets at
night, and the Moulin Rouge, Bullier's,
and other similar resorts usually show
their share of women in that get up.
Their excuse always is that they have
just gotten off the bicycle, which is
common enough in all classes of Paris
life to make the explanation seem plaus-
ible. New York Sun.
