When the lever is released the pres
sure on the saddle renders the adjust
ment firm. As both handle bar and
seat post tubes are slotted to receive
the internal adjustments, they cannot
be inserted out of line with the frame.
And these are but few of the good
things that the manufacturers have in
store for.the riding public next year.
There are to be gear cases galore. Up
to this time few makers in this coun-
try have made any attempt to fit gear
cases to their bicycles, chiefly because
there has not been very large demand
for them.
The muchmooted question of power
transmission will resolve itself in the
minds of many riders, whose analysis
of the subject does not comprehend its
strictly mechanical phase, into study
of internal gearing solely a mitigation
of the nuisance of mud clogged and
stiffened chains, reform which gear
cases alone could accomplish without
sacrificing the many points of superb
ority which the chain possesses over n
vi btNtl StuiS.
some unexpected discoveries are made
which will greatly improve the best of
present chainless patterns, chain
driven machine will be preferred as
possessing fewer disadvantages, espec-
tally as the addition of gear case
will be an effectual remedy for one of
the principal drawbacks which bevel
gears are intended to overcome.
There are several new designs of
handle bars on the market. One in
particular has device which will alb
sorb the vibration before it enters the
bar. The bar is rigid in steering and
is also rigid in climbing hill, as the
pull tends to strengthen the spring by
which it is fastened to the head

The odor of food is always to be
dreaded in the upper rooms of a home
where sometimes there seems no pre-
venting the penetration, no matter
now far removed the kitchen, of GER
tain highly-scented dishes. In the
sick room it is peculiarly to be feared,
as is the lingering odor of medicines
and of food carried there, which often
distresses the invalid. In such cases
it is well to have laid aside, for the
purpose, number of sheets of brown
wrapping-paper which have been
soaked in saltpetre water and allowed
to dry. On one of these pieces n
handful Of dried flowers Of lavender
to be bought of any druggist
should be placed, and then the whole,
laid in fireproof utensil, as n coal
scuttle, should be set blazing. The
.efreshing scent will completely de-
stroy any rival, and will not prove a
remedy worse than the disease.
