VACANT LOT FARMING.
The Pingree Potato Patch Plan Found
Satisfa Glory.
Philadelphia Times.

EHlIdQelpnla Times.
The results thus far obtained from the
potato patch experiment in Philadelphia
are sufficient to show that the plan de-
serves and should be given a much wider
application The experiment, begun too late
to secure any large body Of land for the
present year, has demonstrated that twen-
ty-nVe acres is furnishing the means of liv-
ing to nearly five hundred persons who
otherwise would have been out of employ
ment. By this experiment these people have
become largely self-supporting and they
have gained in manliness and self-respect
as we'll as in the ability to care for them
selves Most of them have learned a new
calling, and by so much have added to their
capacity for future Self-support, for the
man who has successfully cultivated a
quarter Of an acre of ground for himself
will be valuable man for market garden
erS and farmers to employ.
Another year should witness the applica-
ton OF this method upon a largely extended
scale. AT very moderate estimate the
area cultivated this year could be multi
piled a hundred fold without including an
acre that is now cultivated or put to any
other practical use Between the built-up
area of this or any other large city and
the cultivated suburbs there is always a
wide belt of unused land held for Specula-
tive purposes that might be utilized for the
support of large population, and we hope
that the committee of philosophical citi-
ZenS who have made the first successful eX-
pertinent on a small scale will begin early
and work zealously to secure enough land
so that as many thousands may share in
its benefits next year as there have hun
dredS this.
Many speculative landowners are doubt
less reluctant to allow the use of their land
for this purpose but it should be possible
for the committee to convince most owners
OF vacant lots that cultivation Will Deneht
rather than injure their land. A persistent
effort in this direction will remove a great
deal of prejudice and put enough land at
the disposal of the committee to enable it
to extend its successful enterprise next
year very greatly.

According to a New York exchange, a
bicycle dealer in a small town in the west
ern part of the Empire State. noticing that
the farmers in his section stopped leaks in
sugar pans and kettles and in molasses bar
rels by dropping a handful of cornmeal in
the defective utensil, wondered why the
same scheme would not work on bicycle
tires
He concluded to try it on a defective tire
and inserted two tableSpoonfulS of corn
meal through the valve stem, after which
he poured in small amount of water The
tire had been porous, and there were half
q dozen places where the air came out
After doetoring ii In this manner, however
and pumping il up, he found all the leaks
had stopped, leaving the tire perfectly
tight.
Since then he has tried it on many So
called porous tires, and says that ii has
never failed to work TO his entire satisfac-
tion. This method has several advantages
over the other so-called puncture proof
compounds. II is easy to secure, and costs
nothing. and besides cannot possibly injure
tire. OF course, in a few weeks the water
inside the tire will eVaporate, but it is an
easy matter to fill the barrel of the pump
with water and inject it into the tire
through the valve

New York Advocate.
Lord Roseberry says that he has noticed
that everyone who plays golf is disqualified
for business, and gives an instance of a
man in very large business who would not
read his morning mail on the day that he
was going to play golf for fear it would
disturb his nerves. An instance is reported
to US of a mans refusing to play golf be-
cause he said he could not do il and not
use profane language" 1t is not so much
the game as. there as elsewhere, the col
lision Of pride, ambition, love OF approba-
ton and sometimes combatiyeness, envy,
and malice which affects the nervous sys-
TENS of men. Self-control is the rarest of
virtues, and competitive games often re-
veal its absence where successful business
cares might have raised the presumption
of it's presence. Divers golf clubs are play
ing on Sunday, thus joining the democrat
izing social forces.

HnlaueIpnla PRESS.
The effect of the popularity Of the bicycle
upon the use of the horse and carriage is
apparent everywhere, but nowhere more
than in Philadelphia. Livery stable proprie-
tors of the present day claim that their
trade is not to be compared to what it was
before the coming of the safety wheel and
this claim is borne out by the ngures at the
office of the board of revision of taxes
showing the value of horses and carriages
for hire before the bicycle became so popu-
lar and since that time.
In 1894 the taxable value of the horses
and carriages IL the city kept for hire was
$3,4S4 155. In 1895 their value was 81, SIS, 0S2,
and last year their value was 81, 725, 800,
showing a falling off in value of $1,75S, 655
during the two years when the bicycle was
most popular. AS bicycles are not taxable
property and horses and carriages for hire
are, the loss to the city in the decreased
value of the latter for last year was in the
neighborhood of $51 600.
The value of horses and carriages for hire
for 1881 is placed at 81, 705, a slight in
crease over that of 1886.

II think" said the athletic girl. that she
is right lazily motioning toward the trim
girl. THE proper way to clothe the feet
and legs for bicycling, and the one most in
fashion, is to wear thin stockings and low
shoes, but I have gone even a step farther
and have discarded long thin stockings.
What You ride without any," shrieked
the trim girl and the two matrons just
gasped.
Yes; I don't wear stockings any more"
she answered, quietly. You know, of
course, that I've just returned from Paris,
and masculine hosiery is the latest fad for
women there. Women who pretend TO dress
well have packed away all their long stock
ings, even those of the sheeniest silk. and
have accepted half hose as their substitute.
Do you want to see a pair?' she went on,
lifting her skirts daintily. You see, they
are of exactly the same length and style
as my brothers or fathers, and they are,
oh, so cool. You see my leg is bare for al

which has always characterized feminine
hosiery. OF course. the faddish woman

For Women Riders.

Rochester. Post-Express.
1t is said that more women than men are
hurt while riding a bicycle because women
have never learned to calculate speed or
distance. An expert wheelman can tell at
a glance whether he will be able to pass
in front of wagon or another wheelman
at a street crossing, while a woman will
quite often try to do so without the least
knowledge as to whether it is possible or
not. They quite frequently hesitate in dis
mounting when there is danger Of getting
caught, until they are too near the, obstacle,
mount from one side of the machine and
with the pedal in exactly the right po-
sition, there is great danger of an accident.
Instructors should teach their pupils to dis
mount on either side of the machine with
equal facility, and with the pedals in every
possible position. This applies TO men as
we'll as women learners, and attention to
this will greatly lessen the number of ac-
cidents on crowded streets.

No; as yet they are only made of an ex-

Bicycle Rules in New York.

Boston Transcript.
The rules for Wheelmen which the New
York park commissioners have promul-
gated are sensible and practical and are
worthy the thoughtful consideration of all
parties in other cities. Under these regula-
tons park policemen in New York will
promptly deal with cyclists who ride faster
than eight miles an hour. who fail to show
a white light thirty minutes after sunset,
who coast or ride without using the handle
bars, or dismount in the middle of the road :;
who fail to sound their bell when passing
carriages or ride more than three abreast J;
who indulge in trick riding or make NUS
ances of themselves by carrying gongs in
stead of bells of ordinary size. Some of
these regulations may seem unnecessarily
exacting, and it is undoubtedly true that
some of them might be eliminated were all
bicycle riders careful and sensible persons,
but unfortunately they are not
