LOCKED MARvELs EVERYWHERE.

Short-sighted man will sneer and doubt
mysterious hidden things,
Around the pinions of his soul weighted
scott oft clings,
To hamper him in noblest flight, to hold
him pinned to earth,
The while 1t jingles it's FOOLS bells in
masqued, unseemly mirth;
Tied down by this, fettered slave. chained
to the lowest clod,
He boasts his fancied liberty and mocks
Almighty God.
All things are mysteries which men behold,
half know, believe;
The wisest infidel knows not the miracle
Of eve;
The why and wherefore hidden in the smil-
The opening of the budding soul within a
child newborn:
The rich dye coloring the flowers, the tint
ing of the skies,
The strange twin picture of each thing
which in the water lies.
Why should he doubt the mighty power
which balances the stars,
The skill of hand and brain, which tints
the sunsets crimson bars?
The wondrouS nicely measuring out the
snowfiakes, dew and rain,
The thoughts materialized frost-etched upon
the window pane?
What knows he of his own small life, the
secret of his breath,
Yet, with a sneer he feigns to doubt the
mysteries of death.
He knows not how he moves his tongue, his
eyebrow or his hand,
How birds migrate obedient to some silent
strong command;
Why murmur breezes soft and low, why
rage they fierce and strong,
Who taught the insects and the birds the
mysteries of song;
How are the seasons measured out, what
fills the ripening grain,
What are the laughs denoting joy, the sobs
which spring from pain.
He cannot fathom sound or sight, the mys-
terry of touch,
To tell what air or light may be strains
brain-power overmuch:
He may not tell what tints shell or scents
the simplest flower:
Defining thought, nerve-force or glance
transcends his utmost power;
He mocks at God, eternity, archangels,
harps and wings,
Yet stands helpless child before a million
common things.
Poor fool, who scorns his faith to lend to
what he cannot see,
Who lays his tape-lines on thought or
mileStoneS on plea;
Who sees a thousand things each day his
lore cannot explain,
Yet finds belief in One who rules subjects
his soul to strain;
Short-sighted, circumscribed and bound his
head he sagely shakes,
Yet could not in year explain the motion
that it makes.

WHEELING ABROAD.
Advice for Cyclcrs Who Contemplate
European Trip.

- European Trip.
In recent number of the L. A. w.
Bulletin there is some interesting in
formation about cycling abroad, and
some valuable pointers for those who
contemplate such trip. First of all
riders are cautioned against relying on
hiring wheels on the other side. The
wheels are cumbersome and worthless
affairs, and large deposits are required
for their safe return.
The steamships will not carry wheels
unless they are Grated or otherwise in
cased, and the best plan is to put one
or two wheels in trunk, well covered
with vaseline and wrapped SO as to pro.
tect them from the salt air and spray
In crates the charge is $3.50, in trunks
they will go us baggage. Do not depend
upon a forwarding company to handle
your cycle unless you want to wait
month for it. One correspondent says:
Under British law every passenger
is entitled to carry 20 cubic feet 600
pounds) of baggage" Another adds:
IF you intend to ride on the cont.
nent, join the Touring Club de France
before leaving America. League men,
bers will be certified by the T. C. +. rep
resentative in this country, who is Col.
+. S. Hesseltine, 10 fremont street, Bos-
ton. The club ticket will pass you
through the custom houses of France,
Switzerland ana Italy. 1t is said that
at Paris one can get a special card of
admission into Belgium from the club
headquarters. 1t is easy to pay duties
at every frontier, but difficult getting
the money back when leaving coun-
try. There is no duty on bicycles at
British ports. The cost of entrance into
the Touring Club de France is $3.50, or
nearly SO. Appoint a leader for your
party; then let him ship all the bicycles
in his name. Let him pass them through
the custom houses. Make him GUS
todian of the custom house papers and
the T. c. T. tickets. Remember, that if
any of these be lost, trouble will ensue
at the first frontier the party attempts
to cross. Let him make sure that his
full name and address is on the card at
tached to each bicycle offered for trans
port by rail or steamer. Unless other
wise absolutely compelled, take your
bicycles on the train or steamer by
which you travel. Do not lose sight of
them. Ship them as baggage along
with your trunks"

MERRILL'S BICYCLE.

with. q vertically Sliding saddle post or
standard which moves up and down be-
tween grooved rollers arranged in a
boxing in the top bar of the frame, as
shown in Fig. 2. The arrangement is
such that, while the pedals are rising,
the crank with which the saddle stand
ard is connected makes it's downward
movement, the weight of the body be-
ing thus applied to assist propulsion.
There is also q second or idle crank con-
nected with and six inches in front of the
pedal crank, there being a shoelike con-
nection between the pedals of the
cranks, this feature being designed to
afford more freedom and a better sup
port for the feet, in connection with the
movement of the saddle, which has
slight fore and aft as well as an up and
down motion. To the rear of the sad
die are connected shoulder straps,
adapted for application as shown in the
full and dotted lines of Fig. 1, so that
when the rider presses down upon the
pedals, and raises his body, he will exert
an upward pull on the crank with which
the saddle standard is connected. The
improvement is also designed for appli-
cation to tricycles and all forms of foot
propelling vehicles.-Scientifc Ameri-
can.

Look Out for the Dog.

Keep an eye out for dogs. There is
risk not worth taking in riding by a
canine who manifests symptoms of ugli
ness, but it is a rare dog that will dc
more than express mild disapproval il
you do him the favor of dismounting
and walking past his domain. Never
kick at the dog while you are in the
saddle, for, when you do that, the
chances are all in favor of the dog
Never run away from the dog, for the
dog likes the flavor of towards and gov.
erns himself accordingly. If you can
possibly avoid it, do not shoot the dog
for, although he may have a misguided
idea of his duty, he is considerably more
than half human and there are those
who by reason of his death will be
called to mourn the loss of faithful
friend.-American Cyclist.

PEACE OF SUSPENSE.
An Experience Which Brings Us Not
Only Pain But Power.

ohly but Io"Srs
In one of her very suggestive little
papers Mrs. Meynell says of a certain
woman that 'she had learnt the difficult
peace of suspense" These words hap
PLY express in compact form one of the
most trying experiences through
which men are compelled to pass, and
they also suggest the possibility of
meeting even this experience with
quietness of spirit. That nothing is so
hard as suspense" all men are agreed in
acknowledging. Even the bravest, for
whom no act is too daring, or the most
persistent, who refuse to be beaten or
discouraged, shrink from long-contin-
ued uncertainty. 1t is easy to charge a
height flaming with the glare of swift
ly-exploding cannon, but it is difficult
TO stand quietly and patiently while
the same guns rake the waiting ranks
volley after volley. IT. is not difficult
for healthy men and women to act even
when action involves the greatest peril;
but the greater the vitality and force of
a man or woman, the greater the strain
of inaction. Action is a natural relief
to the spirit, normal form of it's ex-
preston; inaction is denial of the in
stinct to act, repression of natural out
go of energy. But action is not all of
life; action is, as Matthew Arnold
pointed out, wastedand even pernicious
unless it is based on intelligence. To
act wisely and effectively one must
thoroughly understand the ground of
his action. Now, it often happens that
in suspense we are unconsciously pre-
pared to deal with a problem which
we long to solve on the instant, but
which we are not yet in a position to
solve. Suspense is painful lesson, but
lesson nevertheless; an experience,
that is, which brings us not only pain
but wisdom and power. 1t has often
happened to the greatest men to be
compelled to wait long on unfavorable
conditions and to be kept in almost in
terminable periods of suspense; and
no careers are more admirable than
those which have taken shape under the
pressure of long uncertainty. The sus-
pense which educates may be painful,
but it cannot be fruitless; and he who
discovers this truth and lays hold of it
for himself is in the way of learning
the difficult peace of suspense."-N. y.

IN CYCLEDOM.
BICYCLE NOVELTIES.
Things That Add to the Whcelman's
Comfort and Snfety.

innings 1nnt AuO TO the Whcelman's
Comfort and Safety.
The latest improvement on tandems
is an adjustable bar in the frame which
converts diamond frame into frame
for women cyclists. 1t is the top bar,
which attaches horizontally if gen
tleman wishes to ride or can be taken
out and adjusted at an angle, the back
end of the bar being affixed to the lower
end of the saddle bar for lady. The
tandem is an expensive machine, and
this adjustment makes it suitable for
two women, two men or a woman and
her escort.
There are great many novelties for
bicycle riders being made in sterling
silver. Some of them are for parts of
the wheel, others for the convenience
of the riders, especially on long rides.
Among the parts of the machine which
help to make a woman's wheel hand
somer are the self-locking name plates
of silver, engraved as fully as desired
This cannot be taken off by thief
unless it is filed off. 1t fits around the
front bar and has chased margin.
Handles, or grips, are made in either
cork or celluloid, heavily mounted in
silver or gold. The ends are often set
with amethyst or topaz. They may be
had in ivory to order and set around
with pearls or any other stone desired.
The tool-bag plate is shown in a
modest little size, 10 be marked similar
ly to the name plate of the machine.
A solid silver cyclometer of the finest
make comes in fine plush and satin
case, and no doubt keeps more accu-
rately the number of miles travelled
than an ordinary nickel-plated one.
The newest arrangement for drink
ing anything anywhere is the drinking
tube. This has the appearance of two
small spoon bowls perforated all over
and fastened together so that they form
n small fat-sided ball, the handle being
a hollow tube with a hole in the upper
end through which one may drink from
spring by the roadside or a stream
of water. This may be an improvement
over a straw or the hand, but it is n
dainty person indeed who will take the
trouble of carrying one Of these orna-
mental affairs on a bicycle trip.
The combination of comb and brush
In one is perhaps the most useful of
anything a cycler can carry. This is
made in tortoise shell with the usual sill
yer back, but there are shell teeth only
half way down the comb. In the other
half are set stiff bristles somewhat like
those in toothbrush, which serve for
n brush

A Common Temptation.

There are few temptations more COM
mon to ardent spirits than that which
leads them to repine at the lot in which
they are cast, believing that in some
other situation they could serve God
better. If each such man had the spirit
of self-surrender, the spirit of the cross,
it would not matter to him whether he
were doing the work of the main
spring or one Of the inferior parts. 1t
is his duty to try and be himself, simply
to try to do his own duty. w. Rob

Another Legal Triumph.

Here is the latest triumph for the
bicycle, or rather for the rider. A lady
intending to spend two months va
cation in the province of New Bruins
wick, Can, bought wheel and shipped
1t to her destination by express. The
wheel was delayed en- route and never
reached it's owner, who was unable to
rent machine anywhere in the vicin-
ity. On her return she refused to ac-
cept the wheel from the express COM
pany, but brought suit and recovered
the cost of her bicycle, on the ground
that it had been rendered useless to her.

Why do not wheelmen one and all

Do Not Use Tobacco,

An authority advises against the use
of tobacco while awheel, stating that
chewing affects the circulating system,
smoking, especially cigarettes, affects
the heart and breathing, making one
short-winded. Concluding, he says: "A
cigarette smoker will find that it re-
quires more exertion for him to ride

than it does noncigarette smoker to
push an old-fashioned, rusty, out-of-

THREE-CRANK BICYCLE.
1t Utiltzcs the Weight of the Rider to
Some AdyantaCe.


The illustration represents a bicycle
designed to facilitate utilizing the
weight of the rider, in addition to the
pressure ordinarily produced by the
feet, for the propulsion of the machine,
thus augmenting the total propelling
power and giving the body of the rider
a movement similar to that of pedes-
trian. In this bicycle are embodied the
elements of three inventions, one pat
ented in 1881, one in 1884, and one for
which patent has just been issued, the
inventor being Nelson Merrill. The
