A brake adapted for use on Il Dicy-
Gle was made the subject Of a recent
patent.
The invention consists of n pneumat-
ic piston and cylinder which is fast
cncd to the frame of the bicycle. The
piston is provided with Il plunger rod,
extending outward from the cylinder,
and is shaped into a spring bow at its
end, upon the ends of which is fast
cned a span Of plant material, such as
leather. The cylinder of h device IS
positioned on the frame of the bicycle
so as to allow clearance of the span
with the wheel, and when set by pneu-
matte pressure it engages with SAID
wheel and retards its motion.
A rubber tube connects with a bulb,
held within convenient reach OF the
rider on the handle bars, and is ADAPT
ed. when depressed by the hand, to set
the brake and hold it set until tpe
bulb is released.

HINTS FOR THE E E

Never come from high heels to low
heels at one jump.
Never veal leather sole Innings to
stand upon. White cotton drilling or
linen is much better and more health
full.
Never wear a shoe that pinches the
heel. Never wear a shoe or boot so
large in the heel that the foot is not
kept in place.
Never wear a shoe with a sole mar
W than the outline of the foot
traced with a pencil close under the
rounding edge.
Never wear a shoe with a sole turn
ing up very much at the toes, as this
causes the cords on the upper part OF
the foot to contract.
Never wear one pair of shoes all the
time unless obliged to do so. Two
pairs Of boots worn a day at a time
alternately give more service and are
much moro healthful.
Never think that the feet will grow
large from wearing proper shoes.
Pinching and distorting makes them
grow not only large but unsightly. A
proper, natural use of all the muscles
makes them compact and attractive.

ABUSING AN EDUCATION.
The Neglect of self-Culturc Is a Ruinous


Wastefulness of Advantages.
In a thoughtful paper on IA Waste
of Education. in the Woman's Home
Companion, Brand Bunner Huddleston
speaks of the tendency of women to
permit their talents to rust out; MEN,
tai culture may be the most costly or
the most valuable gift Of parents to
their children just as they care for 1t
after they get it. 1t Is certain that few
would equally neglect a material prop
erty of like monetary cost as they often
do their Quotations This, too, when
money is the very shortest tape-line
by which a mental gift may be meas
ured. Perhaps it is due in part to the
mistaken idea that when we have
quilted the school room We carry with
us a stationary fund of knowledge that
will, or ought to be sufficient for our
future. - = . Look at the piles OF
hard dollars and the illimitable hours
of time spent every year in the study
and practice of music alone; except
for the good they are to teacher and
to the makers of musical instruments.
the half might as well be wiped out OF
existence at one clean sweep. A decent
little eternity might be made out OF
and repeat itself generation after gen.
Grafton in the very face of the fact that
music is an Incompatible addition to
home life, and on that account, il for
no more lofty or selfish reason, ought
to be perfected and never neglected
by Woman. How many Of your women
friends will undertake to entertain even
the family circle with a creditable per-
Torrance? Usually their pianos stand
idle from the period Immediately sue
ceeding their marriage until there are
daughters old enough to be put at les
sons; then the old folly will be re-
peated. What folly? Not the placing
of children to study music or any other
accomplishment that is for their good
or that the purse will permit. Let them
have all the advantages within reach,
but also teach them appreciation; the
folly consists in fostering through ex-
ample, and by a tacit acceptance of the
existing state of things, the idea that
it can be other than a sinful waste OF
time to acquire a good thing and then
neglect it. No one has any business
to learn a thing that is not worth re-
Numbering. 1t is foolish from a mere
ly unitarian point of view. Thus II
may not be possible or desirable fol
every mother to teach her own chill
dren, though some count it a sweet
privilege to do so, yet it pays them tc
keep thoroughly posted, if only tc
judge of the quality of work being
lone by the teacher, and to supply tina
home cooperation which is so need
full to the conscientious student ant
the teacher"

A hungry guest at a Chicago hotel,
who sat at one of the tables unnoticed
for several minutes, called a waiter to
him at last and said: Young fellow,
I saw that man over there hand you
a tip of half a dollar just now" Eyes,
sah.'' you've got his order, have
ycu?" We'll, now, I'll give you a tip
also-which is this: Bring me exactly
the same order, served in exactly the
same style as his, and with the same
promptness, or I'll report you. Do you
get the idea, young fellow?' Eyes,
sah." The two dinners were served
at the same time, and were precisely
alike.

AS MODELS.
Some of the Experiences of an Artist in
Sketching from Life.

5Onne OF Dne experiences OF an AEJlsG LA
Sketchins from Life.
Leaves from the Sketch Book of an
Animal Artist" Is an article by Mere
dith Nugent in the st. Nicholas. Mr..
Nugent says: There was an elephant
in the Observation-Disclosures that would
not pose unless he were paid for it, an
paid in advance. Then he took pay
ment in buns and pie, but If these were
not forthcoming, he would deliberately
walk to the farther end of the enclo-
sure and turn his back. The only way
to get a drawing of this big fellow a
to Engage some n to feed him mean
while. In the same gardens I saw an
unusually interesting sight one morn
ing. A little sunbear with a large mar
row bone in his shaggy paws was re-
sorting to all sorts Of bear devices to
get the sweet marrow. Suddenly he
lay down on his back, placed n end
of the bone in his jaws, and with his
hind paws tipped the other end of the
bone so high up that the choice NOR
sci slipped into his mouth. If the ami
, NAL could only have understood the
shouts of approval that greeted this
4 performance, / think it would have
turned his head. In n of the sketches
you will see how this feat was accomp-
lished. AS a rule l find the models
very good natured. True, they keep a
sharp eye on me for the first few days,
but after that are generally quite
friendly. OF course, there are some
parts of the business they do not like,
, The oriole never was happy when !
held him in my hand for close inspec-
tion, but a beautiful cat which rebelled
. when l first placed her in a bird cage
, to keep her in front of me-grew sc
fond of being there, that after l fin
ished my drawings she cried n cried
to be put back into the cage. Intense
curiosity is the great characteristic o1
animals when in the studio. They are
as much interested in you and the sur
roundings as you are in them. This
! is especially the case with birds. Leave
the studio but a few minutes, ant
these two-legged fellows are hopping
into everything. OF course they in
spect the paper on which you have
been drawing, and the paints, and thu
brushes, and occasionally vary thes'
proceedings by taking a bath in thu

Remains of the skulls of two wild
horses have recently been discovered
in Ireland. They indicate that the
animals were very much smaller than
the horses of today. The remains
were found in the gravel underlying o
bog. Similar discoveries have hereto

them in Shandon cave. Biologists be-

Southern States.
Last years cotton crop amounted to
S,532,7O5 bales, says the PHILADELPHIA
Record, apportioned to these states:
Alabama, S33,7S9; Arkansas, COS. 643;
Florida, 48,730; Georgia, 1899, $40; In

South Carolina, 936, 463; Tennessee,
236,7S1; Texas, 2,122, 7O1; Utah, 1923. and
Virginia, 1889. A decade ago only 6
per cent of the crop, then 1000, 900
bales less, was used in these states,
whereas now the percentage has near
ly doubled, IL per cent being the figures
for the year just ended. There are
4C2 mills, operating 3,344,327 spindles.
The Sea island product, 104, 1858, was
the largest ever grown, and it's value
was $4,000, 958, an average of 16. So cents

climate of Texas has been found better
adapted to the cultivation Of Egyptian
cotton than are the fertile Nile lands

London Goodwill. Here are some of
the things he says in an interview: Il
shall never finish the History of the

is impossible to do one-half the work OF
this stupendous diocese, leaving out the
question of writing any book. There
could not possibly be anything more
CHASTITY from a human point of view

said: You are strong and wiry, and

! country in the world and its clergy
the most extraordinary people in it.
They do an immense amount of work,
but they really are the most self-cen-

them, DR.. Creighton replied: "Oh, yes.
I am very fond of them; that is one of
the functions of a bishop, to love his
i clergy; but, with your true British spir-
it, each mar thinks that the entire or
, ganization of the diocese is central
! around his particular parish and each
thinks that his own particular trouble
or grievance must be settled by the
bishop, and that the bishop exists only
for the purpose of preaching in his
church, while I do have to request not

A young woman went into a large
~dry-goods store not long ago and began
openly to pocket articles from the
counter. On being arrested, she said
quietly that having no home but the
streets, she preferred to spend the
night il prison. The incident empha-
sizes President Eliot's recent caution
to would-be philanthropists. Hospitals
and asylums and reformatories are but
necessary palliatives Of developed evil
whereas churches, schools, museums
gardens, gymnasia are instruments OF
moral construction, and to train a
child to avoid evil and pauperism ls
better than to help the adult out OF
those conditions.
