The wheel and the Horse.

Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph
That man can travel further than horse
has long been known, but the wheel is
showing that man can also transport him
self by his own power faster than a horse
can carry him. The ease with which an
ordinary wheeling pace passes by a car
riage on the road is a matter of common
observation, but even on the racing track
the horse is losing his superiority in the
matter Of speed. The little Welsh wheel
man. Michael, has ridden thirty-two miles,
every one of which was ridden in less than
two minutes. This feat leaves the trotting
horse hopeleSsly in the rear and the time
seems close at hand when the running
horse too, will be outclassed. The racing
cyclists are cutting off the seconds so fast
that before the season is over 1t is quite
likely that the record of the running horse
will have been beaten. few weeks ago
Gardiner rode a mile in 1:39 rs at Phila-
0elphia. On Aug. a. McDuffie, at the
Charles river track, cut the record to
1:38 1-5 On the 18TH, Platt-Betts rode a
mile in 1:37 3-5 at the Crystal Palace track
London. This is very close to Salvator's S
running mile record Of 1:3512 and indicates
that very soon man will hold the record of
being a Speedier as well as a more enduring
animal than the horse.

too many novices are teaching other n0vi-
ces how to ride, and IL is not surprising un-
der the circumstances that errors are
made and ingrainSd into the rlder style
which are never eradicated. Even in the
cycle riding schools matters of this kind
are simply passed over. The instructor who
turns out a riding pupil in three lessons or
so. 1t matters not how he or she rides so
long as balance is preserved a straight or
nearly straight course secured and the lee
ing is improved on it will be impossible. or
next TO impossible, to hope for any i'm
provement in this direction.
Yet cycle riding schools are just the
Places where style ought to be appreciated
and it's Importance insisted on. A graceful
rider is a taking sight, and 1t shows the
it secures THE appreciation of cyclists Of
all degrees of efficiency and of those who
nave not yet become cyclists. We have
seen a few-a very few-such riders, and
III each case the rider was of the gentler
sex. e do not think that this fact hangs
on the well-understood penchant of the fair
Sex to appear as attractive as possible at
all times; rather would we put 1t down to
some happy chance that set the handle
bars, saddle and pedals in such relationship
to each other as permitted one, who in any
case would have been possessed of a taking
style, to pose to perfection.
With all this it appears to us that the
acquisition of a good style in cycling is
considerably more a matter of advice and
ing. In its highest development the rider
will, of course, require some natural gifts
or physique or carriage. but 1t seems a
much simpler task to obtain a correct pose
on an inanimate than an animated seat
The same trouble as is spent on securing
good results in the riding masters hands
would yield at least equally satisfactory re-
suits in the cyle teachers, and let us hope
that fashion will equally approve both

ANTI-sNoRING DEVICE.
Chicago Carpenter Has Invented a
Useful Apparatus.

Let no man whose snores disturb his
boarding house at night henceforth make
the feeble excuse i can't help It, He
can for a Chicago carpenter has invented
an anti-Snoring remedy which is said to
be infallible. 1t comes in various sizes,

for It looks more like a block and tackle
than anything else.
The inventor IS 5. Anderson, who lives
in a part of widest Chicago known
Prairie avenue He was accustomed to
snore with such energy that, 1t is said the
inhabitants Of the surrounding townships
placed the rain barrels under the spouts

goes, which rose and fell with a rhythmic
measure. Sometimes II was dramatic In

the carpenters mind was restless, and
again it was soft and low.
''Sam, said his wife, you have got to
get something to stop that snoring. The
neighbors. say they won't submit to 1t"
So the faithful Anderson began a series
of patient experiments. lie burned his
throat with wonderful mixtures which
made him feel as though he had swallowed
a stream of tacks. he slept without
pillow and then used two pillows under
his head instead of one. He consulted sew
eral physicians. But all TO no avail. Then
he bethought himself of his trade, for he
was a sklliful carpenter. Long nights ne
sat up poring over plans with callpers.
and welding the T square over blue prints.
Then peace and quiet fell upon Prairie
avenue like a balm to heal the blows of
sound. S. Anderson, who had slept so
loudly for years before, sank to rest like
INQUIRE. and they for the first time saw

by any means to be confounded with the

We have the highest regard for him. and
see him passing away with profound sor-
row. He is inseparaby associated with
Southern society of ante-bellum days. and
the history OF the South is by no means
complete with the negro and his character

the family to which he belonged, omitted.
These things are little understood oy the

We are pleased to know that the Kew
Edward L. Pell of this city, is collecting
material for a history of the efforts made
by the South for the moral elevation OF the
history. while not easily available, are more
abundant than is generally supposed. Not

as for example, Stonewall Jackson, in the
Sunday-school for slaves at Lexington
would make another long and touching
chapter All this is nothing, however, as
compared with the work done for the negro
by the women Of the South. The idea that
the Southern women were made herolnes
by the late war is far from the fact. They
were heroines from the beginning, and they
had been in training from the time that the
slaves came into our possession. Instead of
the many public charities in which they
are engaged to-day, they devoted their time
to the INSTRUCTION of the slaves and the the
amelioration of their condition. Seek any
