WOODEN RIMS.

They Are America's Most Valuable Con-
tribution to tho Bicycle.
A bicycle without q wood rim in this
country II q rarity, yet only few years
ago tho wood rim was unbeard Of In this
connection, and when 10 was introduced II
was greeted with ridioule ON all sidea.
The wood rim 10 styiotly an American
idea, andkto Charles y. Harrington h due
the credit Of introducing It. Mr. Harring-
tons early life was spent a. the wood
working business In Vermont, and later,
when he engaged In the bicycle manufao-
turing business, 10 was natural for him
to think of using wood for o RAM.
Hundreds Of patents for special features
pertaining tn bicycles are granted each
year by the United States patent Office,
but the majority Of them die . natural
death. Few pay any money to the invent
or. The wood rim is undoubtedly the most
valuable contribution Amerion has given
to the bicycle. Nearly everything else that
has stood the test Of actual use has come
from "the other side" France introduced
the bicycle, but England improved 1t and
gave to riders the suspension wheel, ball
bearings, pneumatic tire, tubular frame
and the ordinary and safety types.
America has held her own in wood
working. In fact, she leads the world,
and the light, strain resisting American
buggy always has been marvel to for
eigners. Its wheels are 80 light that the
foreigner wonders how they hold together,
but the much talked Of resistance Is the
secret Of 1t. 1t fs the combination of wood
and steel that makes the American buggy
possible. The wood absorbs the shock of
vibration-is resilient. The same principle
applies to tho steel rail and the wood ties
of the railway. Without the wood ties the
immense strain would tear something to
pieces A steel trimmed wheel without q
tire is virtually solid, which feels jars
all through; tho wood rim bears jars, as
1t Is the nature Of the wood to bear them,
saving tho wheel and the whole structure
and not suffering itself. 1t Is lighter than
the steel rim, and it permits the frame
also to be made lighter. There are some
incidental advantages also and some not
SO incidental. For instance, tho wood
springs back and rights itself from strain,
while the steel stays sprung and buckled
the wood does not rust and dent, and &C.
menting tho tire Is casier.-New York

uine contempt for any adventure which

of sitting upon the ground. But here 40
In every other part Of Indian life there Is q
rigid observance of custom. Men may
properly ait upon their heels or cross leg

titudes. She must sit sidewise, gathering
her feet we'll under her, and make broad,
smooth lap. When working, she may
kneel or squat, and when resting she as
well as the men may sit with legs extend
ed, but at all other times men and wom-
en- must observe the etiquette Of posture
distinctive of sex. To rise without touch
ing the ground with the hand, springine
up lightly and easily to the feet, is q bit Of
good breeding very difficult to one not to
the manner born. Careful parents are
particular to train their children in these
niceties Of behavior.
Among the Winnebages the little girls
are drilled in the proper way Of standing
when under observation on dress occasions.
Their position Of hands and feet Is also
the proper one for the women in certain
religious dances. While among the Sioux
mother with good sized family Of boys
and girls propounded to me the question
whether white women did not find their
daughters more trouble than their Sons.
She was sure she did. Look at those

they learn how to behave. Now, my boys

Club System of Whist Play.

Every organized whist club should have o
recognized system of whist play. We do not
mean by this that club should adopt any
particular authority, it would not be bad If it
did, but system OF play is essential TO the
clubs success.
The Kate Wheelock Club of Portland, Or,
has taken the initiative. In letter received
recently from their president, Mrs. l. w. Sit
ton, she gives the system of play adopted by
the CLUB as follows:

mere in suit; queen, jack, with four or more
in suit; or at east six in suit without the

The lead OF king proclaims either ace or
queen. or borh, with four in suit
The lead of queen proclaims king with five
or more In suit; or jack, ten, with four or

The lead of jack proclaims king ana queen.
with FIVE or more in suit.
The lead OF ten proclaims king and jack.
Any other lead should be fourth best
