SAIL RIeeED FOR. BICYCLE.
InventiOn of an Evanston Editor Said
to BE of Value DO knights
of the wheel.

r. o. Vandercook, editor of the
Evanston QIl.) Press, has perfected "a
bicycle sail rigging which was tested
recently with satisfactory results. lie
will probably patent the invention and
put 1t upon the market. 1t consists
of rigging similar to an icebont, hav-
Ing single upright mast and an arm
similar to a bowsprit. These are sta
tionary and the sail Is controlled by
sheets held Id the hand of the rider.
The bowsprit is fastened just above
the front fork and extends forward
and downward about seven feet In
length and within seven inches of the
ground. The mast is six feet high
This gives q spread of canvas of some
thing over Is feet square. This DEVICE
overcomes the former trouble that was
met with iIl bicycle sails, as it pre-
vents lateral pressure, the weight Of
the rigging and the pressure of the
wind being us low as the weight of the
rider. ....
Mr.. NandercOok claims he can use
this sail TO an advantage in travelling
almost any road, with the wind any
where but dead ahead. Even. then he
can tack the. same as an iceboat II he
has wide thoroughfare. 1t can be
used, however, only when the wind
Is blowing at faster rate than the
speed of a cyclist. A man travelling ten
miles an hour without the sail when
the wind is blowing 20 miles can make
the 20 miles an hour without any more
effort

WARS AND MATRIMoNY.
Of Peace and Pros
pcrity.

There is a close connection between
marriage and the price of wheat, beef.
pork. beans, corn and other things
which go to make up the main portion
of human food AS the prices of these
commodities 60 up the number Of mar
riages goes down. From 1851 to 1854
times were good, food was cheap, and
the marriage rate in Massachusetts,
went mp TO 20 per LOCO. Between 1865
and 1859 there was great depression Of
trade, and in 1858 the marriage rate
went down to II per 1000. The years
from 1873 to 1879 form another period
of depression. Factories were closed
and manufacturers Of every kind suf-
fered severely. In one year, at least.
crops were short and the prices Of food
were high The result was immediate
~ seen in matrimony, for in 1874 the
number Of marriages went down from
q per 1000 Of the population 10 IS.
and in 1876 and the following two years
declined to Is per 1.000-a tremendous
falling Off from 2G per Loco the figure
attained in 1854. which was the banner
year in the state Of Massachusetts, for
matrimony.
Almost as unfavorable as that OF
hard times is the influence of war upon
matrimony. Whenever Mars is in the
