with friends much on the road. II re-
quired too great an effort to start the
tandem for the riders to dismount and
acquaintance hailed them. The two
were compelled to keep on their road,
the rear rider having an uncomfort-
able time of it trying TO stretch her
neck to see where the steersman was
taking her, and compelled to trust
blindly to the care of her escort in the
matter of safe steering. Many at
tempts have been made to obviate the
Objectionable features of the tandem
and still retain its few good qualities.
The effort to do this gave us the twin
wheel, the riders of which were side by
side. 1t was not success. The wheels
took up too much room.
The bicycle rickshaw solves all these
problems at one shot. The lady in the
charming little carriage cannot be ac-
cused of failing to help the bicyclist,
for she has merely to sit still and be
wheeled along. Instead of an unsightly
double wheel, the rickshaw is one of
the prettiest and most graceful convey
ances ever put on the road. If stop
is desired it can beNmade without the
slightest inconvenience, and bicyclist
and occupant of rickshaw can converse
with mutual acquaintances or with
each other, and start off again with
ease.
For anyone unable to ride bicycle,
and unwilling to learn, the bicycle
rickshaw is simply the acme of delight
for all the pleasures of bike trip can
be enjoyed to the full, with the added
boon of eXertion not being necessary.
The bicycle rickshaw can be used by
invalids, but not for long journeys, as
the strain on the bicyclist going uphill
Is rather too much, and it is necessary
for the occupant of the rickshaw to get
out and walk on the up-grades. She
gets her reward going down the de.
slime, for :his experience is one to be
remembered always with pleasure
The bicycle rickshaws will probably be
lsed by many with menservants to
propel the conveyance. The sight OF
these occupants of the rickshaws meet.
| ing and holding social converse will
soon be common one in our parks and
fashionable outdoor meeting places.

THE BICYCLE RICKSHAW.
Latest Fad for Lazy Women who Like
to See the Summer Mnn
Exert Himself.

The bicycle built for two is to go the
way of all things that have had their
day. A charming device is to take its
place this season, known as the "bicy
Gle rickshaw." The rickshaw is at
tached to an ordinary bicycle by means
of strong steel wise, and can be ad-
justed in few minutes. 1t has pneu-
matte tires, and rides as smoothly as
bicycle. The occupant has merely to
sit still and allow her husband, brother
or sweetheart to prcpel the bicycle,
and with it the rickshaw.
The weight of the rickshaw is only 2s
pounds; and, with the easy movement
of the light, pneumatic-tired wheels, it
requires very little extra exertion on
the part of the cyclist to carry it with
him. The sight of these graceful little
conveyances skimming along the bicy-
Gle roads and park rideways will be a
most enchanting one. They possess so
many advantages over the tandem BIZ
cycle that they are sure to supersede
these almost entirely.
In the first place, the spectacle of
woman riding tandem has never been
one of which the average citizen ap-
proved. Then, again, there has always
been doubt about the comfort and So
ciability of this style of wheel. Con-
versation was next to an impossibility,
except with the accompaniment of n
mutual stretching of necks that was
disagreeable and often dangerous, for
the steersman has his work cut out to
avoid obstacles, without trying to carry
on social conversation with the occu-
pant of the rear saddle.
The question as to who was doing
the work usually came in to disturb the
harmony of the occasion in the event
of husband and wife being the tandem
riders. When the muscles began to tire
and the wheel to drag, the mutual ac-
cusations of You're not exerting your
self at ALL were sure to be the prelude
to n more or less acrimonious debate
that marred the enjoyment of the out
ing.
Then the tandem was always the di-
rect opponent to social intercourse

WATCHING THE SICKBED.
Why the Physician Frequently Pre-
fers N Hired Nurse to Relatives
or Close Friends.

II requires strong health and steady
nerves to watch by IL sickbed. For this
reason a hired nurse is often preferred
by physicians in n critical case to the
relatives and friends of the sick. Moth.
ing is so Objectionable in n sickroom as
a display of emotion or nerves. Steady
watching, night as well as day, is often
necessary when the disease reaches a
crisis, and on such occasions the most
devoted friends are likely to be so un.
nerved by anxiety that they cannot
care for the sick properly. The night is
the most dangerous time in sickness.
There should be fresh nurses put on to
watch the sick at night in cases of seri-
oGs disease. One who has watched the
sick during the daytime is unfit for
watching at night, when the greatest
care is necessary and when the facul.
ties should be on the alert to notice
auy change. In regard to the sick at
night, an eminent physician says:
The attendants on a sickbed are well
aware that the objects of their anxiety
experience in ordinary circumstances
the greatest amount of suffering be.
tween midnight and daylight. or the
usual period of the growing of the cock,
If we contemplate frame at this
period weakened by disease, we shall
see that it should not be exposed to a
cold temperature, against which it is

temperature and the air approaching
to saturation in their combined influ.
ences act with painful energy, and re.
quire from an intelligent nurse due

THE MEETING TIME.

oh, bitter is the sorrow
When here We part In tears,
And heavy is the burden
OF long and lonely years!
But what will be the meeting
When life's sad journeys past,
Within the Fathers keeping
We find our own at lastl
As mists that cloud the morning
AS shadows of the night
Forgotten In the glory
OF noontide's radiant light
The weary years of waiting
AS nothing then shall seem,
The pain, the loss, the sorrow
Remembered as n dream.
oh, what will be the meeting!
No words its JOY may frame!
When face to face we see them
Immortal-yet the same:
When dear, long-silent voices
Shall speak our names once more,
And smiles of welcome greet us
AS fondly as of yore!
oh, blessed thought of comfort,
When those we love have gone
To seek n better country,
And we are left alone!
Shall we not wait in patience
A little longer here,
AS those who know that daily
The meeting time draws near?

Evening shadows were gathering
when Death came again. The room
was all in half lights; n mothers room
still, but no longer that happy mother
of little children. No little shoes
upon the floor, no little stockings in
the work basket; the low rocker
where so many lullabies had been
sung was gone; the little pile of
school books and states was put away;
the lessons to be learned in mothers
room were not to be conned from
books, or written upon states. The
mans face still looked down from the
mantel, but the pictures around it
were no longer of children, but of
men and women. All was changed,
all the childish life was folded away,
but the anxious ones as he passed
them looked with eyes that stirred
his memory, the fathomless, ages-old
memory of Death, with a recollection
of two other faces-the child and the
woman, neither of whom would go
with him in these buried years.
But now he had scarcely paused by
her side when she said to him as one
who greets and welcomes and half
chides friend who has tarried too
long: "Why have you waited such a
weary time to come for me? l have
been watching and praying for you
oh, so long! and you let me linger."
And. as he gazed upon her out of the
depths of the past he remembered her,
! although it was an old and worn face
that was lifted so wistfully to his,
white and lined, framed in snowy
hair, tired and grief-stricken, but the
voice was the same, though all it's vi
brant tones were stilled, that voice
that always took on softer measure
at one name. So it was that when
they found her, the men and woman
who called her Mother, on her face
was strange, sweet peace, and a
smile almost of triumph and much OF
! youth; for it came when she placed
her hand in that of Death, and said:
"Yes, | will go with you to Paradise
for John is there"
