On the Decline.

Inc popularity OF the bicycle club
run seems to be on the decline. In
me early days of cycling the CLUB
run was the most popular feature Of
cycle club life. Now. however. the in
creased number of riders has brought
about division OF interest, and the
cub runs lack the support Of the vet
eran riders. New members display an
interest In club runs. and attend these
weekly features rellgiousiy until the
novelty wears or. II is claimed that
al the present time the cycling field is
so broad that riders can travel in al
most amy direction with comfort and
ease. This circumstance makes Il inn
possible for road officers TO choose runs
acceptable TO the tastes OF all riders.
The custom Of holding run each week
Is sim maintained by most Of the local
organizations. but the lack OF interest
In such events is gradually reducing
the regular schedule.

guest who had known him twenty years

the story OF his tiger adventure there

The thing occurred in the Dabrah

beginning of the adventure, to tell the
Story completely, was my meeting a
shikari named Dassa Balhua on the
morning of the day when 1 fell in with
the tiger. The word shikari, you will

Tiger hunter in particular. / was on my
way that day to look over a tract of

and clearing for cultivation, when on
passing Dassa Bulhua's house i saw
him sitting in the doorway and he was

here was his gun hammer out of gear,
so that when he pulled it back it would
not catch and stay at full cock. saw
at once what was wrong with the lock,
and CHANGING to have with me a watch

nve minutes. Balhua was very CRATE
ful, and rode on, leaving him careful

ahead of my story, but will say here
that my stopping to help Balhua out of
his trouble was the means of saving
my own life that day.

The theory of the philosophy of love
and marriage is radically different in
France and America. In this coun-
try the fundamental idea is an unac-
countable and irrational attraction
which presumably can arise but
once in lifetime and can be felt only
for single person among the thou
sands met in the course of early life.
This theory is a sort of survival of the
love science OF chivalry, tempered by
a "reminiscences of Plato's doctrine that
souls were sent into this world in pairs
and circulated in this mundane sphere
iisconsolate until the "coequal and
harmonious" mates happened to
meet" When they did meet each rec

Riders who live out OF town should
get dozen or so extra spokes when

skilled mechanic TO put in a new

tie careful bending to thread 1t through
the hole OF the hub and a little
care In screwing It to the proper ten
sion and to see that the end does not
stand up In the bed OF the rim or pro-
trude through the nipple is all that Is
necessary. In case the end protrudos
as said above Il must be filed down.
Failure TO do this may result in a

not have to be content with thicker
spokes or any kind he may have

One OF the minor woes Detailing cy-
cling tyros 10 the hand cramp which
follows the first lesson. Although
constantly admonished by the instruct
ors against the habit of gripping the
corks as IL they were the horns OF an
enraged bull, II seems actually impos-
sible for the beginner to grasp the
handles naturally. II the handlebars
were charged with electricity the mag
netic attraction apparently present in
them could not be stronger. 1t is
tho magnetism of fear. As a result of
this FIRST lesson the beginner has a
stiffening OF the wrist and finger mus
cles. a species of paralysis which is apt

second lesson the beginner will again
grip iiercely. and his wrist muscles be-
come lame. Is there no person who is
clever enough to devise some way OF
obviating this?

theory Of what love between the sexes
is
Inc French theory is that any two

similar tastes, habits and general ideas
can love one another and be happy in
married life and grow more used to one

is union of properties quite as much
as union Of souls, and that the prob

the matter at once into their own

daughters old enough to be married let

husband are equal partners. This last
arrangement is generally made where
the young people intend to live from
trade and manufactures in small
way. Calls are then made according
to fixed ceremonial law, and be-

and the engagement is long enough
only TO enable the brides parents to
