The proper adjustment of the wheel
should next be considered, for the handle
bar and saddle need fitting quite as much
as the gown and should receive no less
careful attention. The saddle should be
tilted slightly toward the front. The aver
age woman rides with her saddle tilted
backward, which throws the rider out of
position, forcing the entire weight of the
height, mount the W heel, sitting as far
back as possible upon the saddle; then turn
the left peda. to its lowest point and
place yourheel upon it. You should be able
to do so easily; also to place the foot
beneath, allowing the pedal to touch the

your body at right angles with the saddle,

clasping the bar several inches from the

if you would appear graceful.
In riding sit firmly upon the saddle

other-an objectionable habit often caused
by too high a saddle. Ii you feel yourself

as though you feared they might be hurt
by the wheel. If you indulge in this prac-
tiee, the rider just behind you is apt to
have ridiculous spectacle presented to
his vision. Turning the ankles out is
bad, but when the rider is also unfor tunate
enough not TO understand the proper ankle
motion, it is pity indeed. This is a

Democratic party hard times set in, let
us trust that with the advent to power
again OF the Republican party conf
dence will lie restored and business
commence to revive. At least this is
the hope of long suffering people, and
it believes Mr. Mckinley and his adj

their expectations. On the wisdom and
courage of the party during the next
