Notes for WheeImen.

The Iowa state Board Of Health has
recommended that cities and towns u
the state prohibit the riding OF bicycles
on the streets with handle-bars more
than four inches lower than the saddle.
and that Wheelmen be required to hold
their heads in a position to command a
view of the street ahead for al least 200
feet. All this is in the interest Of
health. especially the health of the man
who does not ride 4 wheel.
The cleaning of bicycle is anything
but a pleasant task. The pores Of the
hands get filled with dirt aud graphite.
which makes them exceedingly hard To
wash A whcelman suggests that be
fore cleaning u bicycle the hands be
well rubbed with ncatsfoot or lard oil
on tallpw.- The oil left on the hand"
prevents the dirt getting into the pores,
and soap ana water readily removes
the oil and dirt after the cleaning Of the
wheel has been completed.
Dealers in bicycles have found that
there is a demand among cyclists this
season for narrow handlo-bsrs, and a
corresponding decrease for the ram s
horn or drop bars The reason as
signed for this change is that wheel
can be more perfectly controlled when
the distance between the grips IS less
and it is not so tircsome on the arms
ms they rest nearer to the body and IN
more natural position. The leverage IN
the steering post is not go great, h""-

sharp Nantucket man is said to have
got the better Of the great defender of

however He had small case which
was to be tried al Nantucket, one week
in June. and he posted to Wcbsters

with a neighbor over a matter of con-
siderab BILE local interest, and his pride As
litigant was at stake He told Web
ster the particulars, and asked what
he would charge to conduct the case.
Why" said Webster, you can't

stay down there the whole week. and
my fee would he more. than the whole
case is worth. l couldn't go down there
for less than $1,000 | could try every

in every case that came up for hearing.
The shrewd Nantucketer hired Daniel
out to all his friends who We're III litiga-
