MASTERING THE BIKE.
How the Beginner Learned to Ride HI

How the Beginner Learned to Ride His
Silent Steed. -fs-t
The only help I got in learning to ride
the bike was from my wife. The little
lady would grab hold of the framework
Just over the rear wheel and maintain my
200 pounds Of peerless manhood while
talked to her and told her what 10 do and
demonstrated with her for not doing what
I thought she ought to do. do not be-
lisve any one else could have helped me as
much as she did. You see, could hardly
have talked as freely to any one else.
The last time she helped me my conver-
sation ran something like this:
s'Now give me a good start. Hang on !
Hold upl Great Scottl Are you trying to
run me into the ditchP Jane, pay atten-
ton to what you're doing. You'll kill

I'm running into a rock-can't you see
amf Therel I told you I would. It was
all your fault. I should think you would
have some sense by this time"
I did not stop here, but have to make
break in the report of my remarks to say
that just here young lady of whom am
ra ther fond in a paternal sort of way, and
whom faIniliarly call Puss, rode up on
her own wheel and went along with me.
although some few yards away for safety 8
sake. L did not stop talking to the little
lady, though. By this time was too mad
to care for appearances. So I turned to
Puss and continued:
ibid you ever see such a fool womanf
Why can't she hold this blamed thing
straight? Here I am wabbling around
like drunken man.
Puss merely grinned and showed her
pretty teeth and gurgled delightful little
girlish laugh. That made me all the mad
der, and 1 began at my wife again.
Snow, Jane, do use some sense. Hang
on! Put some muscle in it. How would
you like it if let you skin around like

And, crash, bang, I went into the fence,
just as had predicted. 1 picked myself
up, and after an examination found that
no bones were broken. Then examined
my wheel and found that it was all right.
Then looked around to find my wife and
give her a piece of my mind There she
was, three blocks up the street. just at the

SCANDINAVIAN WOMEN cARDNe AND SPIN
MING wooL.e'
cannot get enough money to c1othe
themselves and their, families comfort
ably. Then the Scandinavian farmers.
many of whom have large docks of
sheep, find that they cannot sell their
wool for enough to pay for much more
than the cost of shearing and feeding
the sheep.
1t is this combination of circum-
stances which has set the spinning
wheels going. Just how many of them
there are in the land in active opera
ton. of course, it is impossible to esti
mate. No doubt many thrifty Norwe-
gian wife brought her spinning wheel
along with her when she left for new
land. Those who did not have had to
buy them. There is duty of % cents
levied ON such articles, and the expense
of TRANSPORTATION brings the total cost up
to about Sc. 80 each.
1t is remarkable what skill these
Scandinavian women display in using
the product of these spinning wheels.
OF course with the simple wheel they
cannot do any weaving and can simply
make Syarn, but the yarn they knit in
to a coarse, rough, but very durable
cloth. It is a crude product compared
with the finished web which comes
from the loom of the. woolen factory,
but it is serviceable and can be worked
up into shirts, jackets and even trou-
sers. This kind of clothing is very COM
Portable during the cold winters of the
northwest, and it will wear like raw
hide.
After the wool is sheared from the
sheep it is washed and dried. Then it
must be carded and combed to remove
the burs, straw and seeds which the
sheep has accumulated in his coat. This
process is kept up until the wool is soft
and fluffy and comparatively clean.
Then it is ready for the spinning wheel
and is converted into yarn or thread,
which is coarse or fine according to the
skill of the spinner. The stockings
which the Scandinavian women knit
of homemade yarn are in great demand
throughout the lum mbering district and
readily sell for so cents pair.
The amount of patient labor which is
required to knit enough cloth for a sim
gle suit of clothes can hardly be real
lied. Yet they turn out an amazing
amount of knitted cloth during the long
winter months. The secret of it all is
that whenever their hands are not other
wise employed they hold the wooden
knitting needles, which they ply with
mechanical deftness. Som metlmes they
knit thick blankets in this manner, but
more popular way is by making
squares of cheap cotton cloth, which are
filed in with raw wool and then pieced
together like the old fashioned patch
work quilt.
An outfit for weaving is much more
complicated and costs about $35. It con-
sists of a hand loom, spooling machine
for winding the thread after spinning,
a shuttle, a stretcher and other minor
appliances. Not few of these primitive
clothmaking machines are in use
among the Scandinavian settlers, who
have proved that they have not forgot
ten the lessons of thrift and independ-
ence which they learned in their native
land ANNETTE CRAWFORD.

A SPINNING REVIVAL.
TEN THOUSAND WHEELS BROUGHT
FROM SWEDEN AND NORWAY.

The scandinavian Women of the North
Their Native Land and Spin and Weave
For Their Families.
One rather curious result of the prev
alence of hard times throughout the
northwestern states has been the impor-
tation of no less than 10. 600 spinning
wheels from Sweden and Norway.
Many of them were sold in the northern
districts of Minnesota and Wisconsin,
but some were sent as far south as Texas
and as far west as the state of Washing
ton.
Spinning wheels are made by few
American manufacturers. They are not
meant for use, however, but for parlor
ornaments. The greater part of those Of
American make eventually find their
way into the homes of the we'll to do,
where they are trioked out with ribbons
and pass as relics of 100 years ago.
Those which are shipped across the
ocean and sent to the northwest are not
made as bric-a-brao. They are meant
for business The Scandinavian women
who purchase them have not been so
long away from their native land that
they have forgotten how to card and
spin and weave. They might be able to
buy the American made spinning wheels
cheaper, but they are not the kind they
are used to and probably are not SO sub
stantial as those which are made in Eu-
rope and are meant for use.
Among American women spinning
and clothmaking have been practically
lost arts for more than a generation.
Probably not one woman in thousand
knows how to use the spinning wheel,
but the Scandinavian bred women are
brought up i'll a different school. When
they first came to the United States a
few years ago, they found that cloth
was SO cheap that with the good wages
which they and their husbands and
brothers could make it would be false
economy to weave and spin.
But in the last few years times have
changed. Work is scarce and hard to
get, and although cloth is cheaper than
ever before many Of the new settlers
