WHiRR OF THE WHEEL.

In Ceylon, according TO an English
cycling paper, the bicycle ON the high.
way has priority over other vehicles.
There seems to be an impression
among some wheelmen in this counl

that is mistake, as they occasionally
discover to their cost.
A solid tire elastic wheel has an outer
and second inner double rim, both
connected with the hub by spokes,
mounted within which, and nearer the
hub, is the third rim, connected with
the hub by series of coiled contract

An Indian territory genius has
evolved a sail for the bicycle that will
enable cyclists to scoot along before
favorable wind without any effort on
their pant. This invention had better
be kept in Indian territory. Nearly
all the accidents nowadays are caused
by too fast riding. What we want is
something to make the wheelmen go
slow.
A well-known physician says: mo
sport or pastime under the sun APP
peals more strongly to the weak and in
valid than cycling; but the temptation
to overdo it is very great. Cycling is
pastime for the delicate, but unless this
class of riders exercises much self-con-
troll, there is, no doubt, great liability
to overstrain of the heart and other
vital organs. A goldenrule to all deli
cate cyclists is expressed in one word
moderation"

Deer hunting started off Friday
with a result about as fatal to man as
to the nimble animal of the forest.
The Rutland Herald of Saturday
says;
Yesterdays returns from the deer
hunting parties contained more casu-
alties than game. Beyond one grain
fed buck weighing 307 pounds, shot
back of Gleason's millin Shrewsbury,
Rutland saw very little of the results
of the open deer season yesterday.
Two men drove into town yesterday
afternoon with small headless buck,
and they had not gone far with the
exhibition of their prize before Wes-
ley Austin, fish and game warden,
took the carcass in charge. 1t was
dyblown and he directed the men to
produce the head. They left town
and late last night they had not APP.

Word came from Bennington that
John Harbour, Woodford lumber
man, was found dead with a bullet
hole in his head at Glastonbury yes
terday morning. He had gone into
the forest Thursday with Wilton
Wall, intending to camp out and SO
be prepared to hunt early yesterday
morning. The two became separated.
Wall heard the report of gun and
groan. He went to Woodford for
assistance, but could not find the
camping place on his return until
after long search. The body was
found sitting in an upright position
against tree. Harboul's gun, which
was lying by his side, had not been
discharged, and it is thought that he
was shot accidentally by another hun
ter. He was As years of age and
leaves wife and four children.
Word comes from Shrewsbury that
boy discharged shotgun at doe
yesterday and portion of the charge
took effect in the body of farmer,
who conversed with himself rapidly
for few minutes without the use of
dictionary.
Constable Aldrich of Shrewsbury
shot small buck yesterday in his APP
pie orchard, where the animal had
been in the habit Of going for some
time.
Two bucks were brought into Wal
