An old fashioned high bicycle has
been attracting some little attention
on the streets for the last few days.
The diameter of the front wheel is
over five feet and it would seem as if
one revolution of the wheel would go
twice as far as an ordinary bicycle of
today, but this is not fact for r.
geared bicycle by one revolution of the
sprocket will Guido the old one by
several inches A long period of de-
velopment and invention has inter
vened between the old time wheel and
the automobile as it puffs up the
street today and the sight of the for
mer device for transportation takes us
back to the old time. Less than a
quarter of a century ago the old wheel
was in prominence everywhere, last
week a meeting of the automobilists
was held at the Pavilion parlors.
The work on the cleansing of the
reservoir is progressing steadily. Not
many men are kept at work on the job
at time to keep the water from be-
coming roily so that it cannot be
used Thus far the fact that the re-
servoir is being cleaned has been
hardly noticeable in the water as it
reaches the city. 1t is slow and tedi-
Gus work, carrying the refuse by boat
to the dam and the use of wheel
barrows is employed on the banks near
the upper end. Much qualification is
felt at the recent report of the analy-
sis of the Berlin water, in that it was
pronounced biologically and chemi-
cally pure. p. S. Smith visited the
water works in several of the cities of
New Hamshire and New York this
summer and reports that the Mont
pelier water is as clear, and clearer in
some cases, than in some cities after
the water has been through filtering
station.

this scheme was followed in the
makeup of the tally oaIds-oak leaves
pasted on cardboard and cut out to
the shape of the leaf-and in the
device for indicating partners, in
lunch cloths and napkins. The effect
was beautiful, and the scheme was
worked out in general and in detail,
with good taste and rare art. The IA
vors for lone hands were carnations
red and white, and the gathering bou
quets of the beautiful flowers indicat
ed the players whom fortune was ia
voring. Mrs. Pearl f. Blodgett wa
the winner of the progression, an'
} Mrs. w. e. Harlow of the lone hand
prize. A supper in keeping with tn
