They Beat tho World in Pedalling the Bicycle. earned the reputation of being the fast.- est riders in the wmld', sustained this praisew 01 thy title admirably last season by creating new records for all the short distance marks. In 1889 the one mile re~ cord was 2 minutes 29 4-5 seconds, and the two mile record 5 minutes 11 seconds. In 1891 the safety wheel began to grow into popular favor, and Peter Berlo rode a mile on a solid tire wheel in 2 1ninutes,;30 seconds, which was record time. It was alsovin 1891 that the pneumatic tire first made its appearance in this country, and H. E. Laurie, 'an Englishman, who was visiting America on a racing trip, at once place the one mile‘ record atr2 minutes 27 1—2 seconds, and the two mile record at 5 minutes 28 seconds. Laurie was the first man to race on a pneumatic tired bicycle in this country. Up to the advent of the pneumatic tire the English racing men were riding a trifle faster than the Americans, but their supremacy was of short duration. The one mile straightaway record of 1 minute 35 25 seconds made by J. S. John— mn at Buffalo last October, electrified the wheelmen in this country and in Eu- rope, but it was only a few weeks later that E. S. Leonart, a Buffalo rider went over the same course in 1 minute 35 sec- onds. The conditions under which re- cords are now made differ materially from those of years ago. Constant changes have been introduced both in the construction of the wheel and in the method of acquiring records, the sole ob- ject being to favor the rider. \Vheelman also have the advantage of improved tracks each year, and, as a consequence, succeed in placing the records lower and lower. Pace-making is a business that is essential to fast time, and the Ameri- can racing men are rapidly acquiring the knowledge of how to pace 3. record man. Before the visit of A. A. Zimmerman to England about four years ago, the for- eign racing authorities placed little cred- ence in American records. The easy man- nerin which “Zimmy” defeated all the amateur English riders at once compelled the wheelmeu in England to recognize and accept American records. The fact that the latter are superior to the foreign times is conclusive evidence that the tracks and racing men of this country are speedier than those to he found any- where else. WOMAN’S IDEAL MAN. A Young \Voman of Observation Says It Varies “Nth Every Attachment. “I suppose it’s a perfectly harmless amusement,” said a young woman of observation, “but for the life of me I can’t see the use of all this discussion that’s going on concerning man’s most attractive trait to women. \Vhy, it is not a question of any trait of general ap- plication at all. It simply depends 011 the woman’s idea of what is most at~ tractive in some certain man at some certain time. She may hold to the ideal all through her girlhood that the only worshipful man is the poetic and soulful creature, and then flop completely over and throw herself at the muddy feet of the tousle headed ‘11a1f-back’ of a college football team. “It’s all nonsense to say that we wom- en have got any well-sustained, well-de- fined ideals of manly character. \Ve do not fall in love with a man because he fills out our plan, but because we like the fellow; because we cannot help our- selves, in fact; and then we make the astonishing discovery that his character- istics are just those that we admire. Our ideal changes with each new case of heart affection, for ifit were not so how could we manage to endure a change of sweethearts? I believe there are some girls in this world who have made a se- lection from the other sex by rule and rote, but they are simply freaks, and I look on them with mingled wonder and pity. “Courage, tenderness, deference, devo- tion, physical charms, mental attain- ments; these are all characteristics that we like in men, but it is silly to try to pick out any one of them as being the most attractive to woman in general. To every Woman that manly quality is most charming which is possessed by the man most charming to her. He is not charm- ing because his qualities first made him so, but his qualities are the most charm- ing because she finds them in him. “Just now, by the by, my opinion is that the most charming characteristic in a man would be that of consent-ing to buy a new dress without the faintest ref- erence to making over an old one.” VERTICAL PENMANSHIP. Its litany Advantages Over the Slanting Style. To be Adopted in Boston. To the casual observer there appears to be little importance in the movement to substitute vertical for slant writing. But to the Board of Supervisors for the Bos- ton public schools it presents itself as a matter of weighty import. In a recent report this Board exhaustively discusses the subject of penmanship in the public schools. They say that the question of vertical versus slant writing has been under investigation and discussed for about three decades; that it has been from the first not a. question of. taste, but of hygiene; that it- grew out of inquiries into the causes of physical defects among school children in various European countries. The report goes 011 to state, in effect, that vertical handwriting was de. cided to be a remedy for some of the de- various international hygienic congress es, and that it is rapidly supplanting slant writing all ov01 E111 ope. ’lhe physi— cal defects lefeired to me said to have been aggrevated by ill-adapted desks and the unnatural and wearying positions which the children were required to as. sume. The Supervisors are opposed to the use of slates in the primary grades of the public schools. It is not only a hygienic, but an art improvement, according to the Boston Board, to do away with slant writing. They find that the vcltical writing of ex- perts and of school children of all ages is more legible than the slant, and this fact commends it to business men as well as to printers—Washington Post.
