Fast Time TO Colorado.

A new through Sleeping Car line between
st. Louis and Colorado Springs will be estab-
lished over the Wabash Rock Island Short
Line, May 18th, 1895 The time will be the
fastest made with through service between
these two points by many hours. A through
Sleeper will leave st. Louis on Wabash train
No. 3, at $40 a. M, arriving at Colorado
Springs the next morning at 100, with di-
rect connection for Denver, arriving at ll.30
a. IN. This is the fastest regular through
service ever established between st. Louis
and Colorado. Returning, the Sleeper will
leave Colorado Springs at 2.45 p. m, and ar
rive at st. Louis the next evening at 6.l5.
Patrons of this line will avoid the only un.
pleasant feature heretofore attendant on Col.
orado travel, inasmuch as the trip through
Missouri's fertile fields will now be by day.
light, and the unattractive portion of Kansas
will be traversed during the night, with the
mountain scenery to greet the tourists in the
morning.
The fast time of this line will naturally
commend the Wabash Route to intending
Colorado tourists.
Particulars will be gladly furnished on ap-

LATEST HANDSHAKE.
II Is Rotary, Muscular and Amusing,
and Was Originated by Eastern
Wheel Cranks.

The bicycle is responsible for new
sGlutation. From the wheel to ride has
been evolved the wheel to shake. The
new handshake is rotary, muscular
and amusing; it is also growing popu-
lar. The bicycle handshake is here to
stay, and war will not diminish its
popularity. The bicycle handshake is
the natural offspring of a rotary mind
busted 12 hours in the day with its own
and other peoples wheels. If men
and women ride wheels and talk little
else but wheels, ii is only natural that
they should soon begin to think wheels,
ard thinking wheels makes the think
er look at life rs thing circular, speedy
and puncturable. The bicycle face, the
high and low-gear laugh, the puncture-
proof self-assurance and the chainless
conversational ability are part and par

WOOD RIMS FOR WHEELS.
Most of Them Are Made In Maine, of
Rock Maple, Which Grows There
In Great PrOfusiOn.

The average annual output of wood
ST. 100000. One of the most interesting
branches of the industry is the manu-
facture of wood rims for bicycles. The
factory where the manufacture is car
ried on has floor space of 74,s00 feet;
it's daily output averages about 1900
rims, and the value of its yearly product
is about 100000. The wood used is
rock maple, and each rim is composed
of three pieces, glued and pressed to-
gether with such force and eXactitude
that the rim appears like one piece, and
only the most searching examination
can detect the joints. After these
pieces have been steamed, bent and
glued they are submitted to an enor-
nous pressure in a steam power ma
chine. They are then taken to the
lathes, one of which turns the concave
surface of the outside and another the
convex surface of the inside of the rim
After passing on to the sandpaper ma,
chine for smoothing, they are stained
and vanished and bored for the spokes
and are ready for shipment. The wood
| must be perfect, and not the least defect
or discoloration is allowed to pass
| Much of the machinery has been de
signed expressly for this plant, and the
machines, as well as all the steps in tn,
construction of the rims, require tn,
supervision of skilled mechanics.

THE BICYCLE HEART.
Interesting and Instructive Comment
offered by Medical journal
of High Standing.

Several well-known French cyclists
have lately, the British Medical Jour-
nal points out, been rejected as unfit for
military service by reason of hyper
trophy and other diseases of the heart.
A contemporary, representing no doubt
lay opinion, processes astonishment at
this result. But medical men will be
ather surprised that the numbers are
SO small. There must be few of us who
have not seen the i'll effects of over ex-
ertion on bicycle. The commonest is
palpitation and temporary dilation, but
even this is sometimes very difficult to
cure. In case which occurred recent
ly lady ordered for fortnight's
change of air after influenza, chose to
spend it in bicycling about so miles a
day. AS a result, she has had ever since
that time-now nine months ago-a
pulse which on the least eNertion rises
to 100, though she has not ridden again.
That temporary dilation occurs is
enough to show the great strain put
upon the heart, and il is al added dam
ger that the sense of fatigue in the
limbs is so slight. The rider is thus
robbed of the warning to which he is
accustomed to attend, and repeats or
continues the strain upon his heart. AS
in other similar cases, the effect is to
render that dlation permanent which
was at first but temporary, and to cause
an increase in the muscle of the heart
by repeated eXertion. The heart pro-
Guced is of large edimensons and of thick
walls-a condition which may, perhaps
give little uneasiness to its owner, bu,
which a medical man will view with
considerable distrust and apprehen'
sion. Weakly and elderly people can
not be too often told that no exercise is
more easily abused, though, if taken iii
sensible measures, few are more health
full or enjoyable.

BICYCLE BAGGAGE CAR.
a New Arrangement for Carrying
Wheels on Railroad Tested with
Gratifying Results.

The conveyance of wheels between
stations, says the New York Herald, has
been a problem that many railroad
companies in the eastern states have
been coping with for the last year or
two, and the solution seems to have
been discovered by II. b. Fullerton,
special agent of the Long Island rail-
read.
Mr. Fullerton has had an ordinary
round-top car fitted with specially made
bicycle holders, the latter being placed
in row, few inches separating the

ynreIine an a Lubricant.

Vaseline is becoming very popular as
lubricant for bearings and has much
in its favor for the purpose. 1t is a
mistaken idea, however, that the bear
ings are to be taken apart for putting
it in. All that is Necessary is to melt
the vaseline in any kind of suitable re-
ceptacle and then inject it into the
bearings with the ordinary oil can
Vaselne has the peculiar property os
furnishing as good fabrication as oil,

forms film around the crevices and
makes the bearings almost dustproof.
In using it, however, wheelmen should
be very particular to secure only the
purest kinds.

LABOR.

Now the rosy hours OF morning
Wake thee from the nights repose;
Fresh, with vigor crowned, uprising,
Labor till the day shall close.
Not with idle thoughts be musing;
UP, be noble, and be true.
In life's field of ceaseless labor
Something waits for thee TO do.
Every hour and every minute
Brings its store of toll and care.
Up, arise! and do thy duty;
Act thy part and claim thy share.
Leave not till to-morrow's dawning
What to-day might well be done,
For the golden morrow coming
May perchance thy life outrun.
Let the morning sunbeams find thee
Working out some noble plan.
Up, and bear thy standard bravely,
And in earnest play the man.
Toll with pleasure, cease not doing;
Toll and care will soon be past.
Labor now, while thou hast power;
Rest comes sure and sweet at last.

GREATEST DANGER AwHEEL

No matter how stout a mans courage may
be,
There are times when he's certain to
quail.
Though the blazing of battle he calmly
may see,
In peace all his firmness may fail.
Though bullets which sought in his being
to lodge,
Serenely he often defied,
He'll trembie and pant as he struggles to
dodge
The girl who is learning to ride.
A marksman afar will perchance miss his
aim
When dynamite deadly is fired.
For cen mathematical skill cannot claim
To guarantee all that's desired.
But when her front wheel seems to waver
a bit
And she thinks that it's time to collide,
You know you're a target that's bound to
be hit
BY the girl who is learning to ride.

A REMARKABLE CASE.

The following case was printed originally
in The Monitor, a newspaper published al
Meaford, Ontario. Doubts were raised az
to it's truthfulness, consequently close
watch was kept on the case for two years and
the original statement has now been COM
pletely verified.
Mr.. Petch had been hopeless paralytis
for five years. His case has had wide atten
ton. He was confined to his bed, was bloat
ed almost beyond recognition, and could not
take solid food. Doctors called the disease
spinal sclerosis, and all said he could not
live. The Canadian Mutual Life Associa'
tion, after thorough examination, paid him
his total disability claim of 81 600, regarding
him as forever incurable
For three years he fingered in this condi.

was happily married In 1852 to George
Weld who survives her. Nearly all hbr
married life has been spent 10 our town.
She became q Christian at an early age
and united with the First Baptist church.
For the past ten years she was a beloved
member of the Bethany church. She
was woman of rare loveliness of charac-
ter, and won all by the gentleness Of her
disposition and her sweet Christian
spirit. Her death was triumphant. She
