found with the brake (chiefy by
women) is that, In lengthy descent,
the necessity Of holding it tightly tires
the right hand,
A brake that was invisible and that
kept up the desired degree of friction
indefinitely would, therefore, prove
welcome by setting at naught the two
principal objections that we have just
formulated.
Such a brake has been in existence for
the last two years. 1t was devised by
an Englishman, Mr.. Alfred Williams,
and representation Of it is given in
the accompanying figure.
The block Of this brake, which is con-
cealed beneath the crown OF the fork,
is mounted upon a rod, which is itself
concealed in the steering head. This
rod terminates above in a rack, with
which engages a small pinion that may
be revolyed in one direction or the other
by turning the right hand grip, The
Transmission of the revolution of the
grip to the pinion is effected through
the intermedium of series Of joints in
the handle bar. The friction Of all these
joints in the handle bar is sufficient 10
keep the pinion firmly in place in the
position that is transmitted tc itin act
ing upon the grip, In this way, owing
to such ingenious arrangement, there
is obtained an invisible brake. which
may be frightened to the desired degree
at viii through a slight turn Of the griT
without any fatigue to tie bicyclst. A
slight turn in the opposite direction al
once loosens the brake either partially
or totally.
The brush with which the brake
block is provided has the effect Of clean.

"Why?" asked WILDLY.
"For the sake of your personal safety.

crime too often for one to deliberately
put his head into halter"

THE WHEEL DEFENDED.
Religious Paper Encourages the is
of the Bicycle,

Religious fnper Encourages the Nso
of the Bicycle,
The bicycle has been declared The
source Of injury to many good trades
and causes. II has been claimed that
It has decreased the sales Of oil paint
iugs and shoes, hot house flowers and
dress goods, groceries, and theater
tickets. 1t has broken up meetings in
the interest Of philanthropic endeavor,
decreased the attendance at lectures
and finally diminished the congrega-
tion in the churches. There is truth in
some Of these statements, and much inn
agination in many Of them. lfthere are
any who find that bicycle riding is in
terfering with their participation In the
worship Of the church on the Lords day
they should look TO It. They are, per-
haps, imperiling an eternal heritage
for temporary gains or pleasures.
There is time enough in life for propor-
tionate Living, and place for both wheel
ing and worship. The church likewise
should look TO it that It makes provision
for the needs OF all, and stands open
where bicyclists can enter and breaches
to men awheel. But what must be re-
membered In fairness and emphasized
is what the church gains from the BIZ
cycle. As an annihilator Of all distances
it is lessenlng the distance to church
from homes whose remoteness has been
burden. As an improver of roads it
is bettering the roads that lead to the
house of God. As a promoter of sim
plcity Of living and out of door natur-
alness it is relieving the approaches to
worship of some of the couventoualittes
of dress and outward ceremonial. At a
time when the church Is making effort
in many directions to cast aside tradi-
tioual observances, and find men, by
every means, where they are, move
ment from the other side that tends TO
bring men as they are to church should
be welcomed and encouraged. bcy-
Gle suit in pew is a wholesome and
welcome sign. 1t means that simplicity
and that reasonableness in dress every
where which have kinship to true re-
ligion, and it means further that men,
out OF their work and out of their play,
are finding immediate access TO wor.
ship; that another step is taken toward
the more perfect union of the church
with the actual everyday lives Of men.
The Church.

THE tricycle. CAB.
A New Device That IL Meeting witt
Favor In Berlin.

A New Device That IL Meeting with
Favor In Berlin.
A tricycle. cab is one of the latest fea-
lures of the streets of Berlin. 1t is
called the Heydt cycle, so named after
the inventor, and company has been
organized in the German capital which
now has 500 of these tricycle. cabs in
use. The cab is built on the principle
of the bicycle, with the difference that
1t has three wheels instead of two. The
two large wheels support comfort
ably cushioned seat on their axle, and
the small wheel in the rear is used
for steering purposes only. In this tri-
cycle cab the coachman or operator sits
in the rear and the passenger in front.
The conveyance is propelled by a sim
pie up and down movement of the feet,
Just as a sewing machine is operated,
and there is no chain or sprocket ar
rangement.
This new device has met with great
favor in Berlin. The cab is cheap and
light in weight and can be propelled
with great ease and at great speed. A
mile ride costs something like u cent
and a half, which is infinitely cheaper
than the charge for the regular cab
service. The cab can be very cheaply
constructed, and, as no horses are re.
quired TO be stabbed and fed, that ex.
pense is entirely done away with, and
the company is making money.
The cab is so constructed as to be
suited for all kinds Of weather. Fol
bright, balmy days, when no covering
is required, there is hood arrange
ment which can be detached. In stormy
weather it can be easily replaced, thus
affording the passenger all the protee
tion desired from the weather.
This cab has been found Of especia
benefit to oinyalids. They can be wheele,
about comfortably and quickly, whicI
is a great advantage over the heavy ant
cumbersome invalid chairs.

DOWN in FAIRY DELL.

Little Dottie Daniels, wait bit and tell
All the pretty tales you heard down in fairy
dell;
All the little whisperlngs and the trllling
words
Gargled in the crickets throat and the
meadow birds.
Tell us how the birds themselves know the
days TO sing,
Know the frosty winter days from the
days of spring;
How the leaves of summertime, when the
summers old,
Turn from deepest green my dear, to
crimson and to gold,
Tell us how the angels come, tripping
through the blue.
To tip their tiny dippers up brimming full
of dew;
And how the dewy showers look, twinkling
from the skies,
When a body takes them in through
fairy's eyes.
Tell us, Dottie, did you see in your fairy
grot
All the eerie little caves that the imps
have got,
All the homes the bats have found, and
the naughty notes
That lodge at night in peoples eyes and
tickle peoples throats?
Did you see the spinning shop where the
spider sits
And weaves his gauzy web about and knits
and knits and knits-
See him wink his wicked eyes and lick his
fuzzy jaws
All because butterfly was coming toward
his claws?
What a host of pretty sights must have
met your eyes,
When you dwelt in fairy dell under starry
skes
What delightful symphonies must have
filled your ear
When you lay awake at night and listened,
Dottie dear!
