In purchasing a wheel take as much care to have it fit you as you would in obtaining a gown or a suit of clothes. 2. Be sure that when sitting upright you do not have to reach to maintain the ball of the foot on the pedal dur- ing an entire revolution. 1 ' 3. Adjust the handle bars at a level which, when the arms are fully ex- tended. will kcep the body in an almost upright position. In riding long dis- tances, the handle bars should be drop- ped a trifle, so as to increase the lev- eiage by a backward as well as a for- w aid push. 4. Befo1e purchasing a wheel make an arrangement with the dealer where by you may be allowed to make trials of different saddles until you find one that is perfectly comfortable, for a. properly fitting saddle is the most nec- essary element in safe and comfortable riding. No one saddle will fit all,r.id- ers; sometimes many must be tried. before the correct model is found. In: cline to a saddle that is stifi and mod erately provided with springs, and which is broad and short, rather than long and narrow. A soft saddle, whetb. er of padded leather or inflated rubber, will always chafe when ridden a long distance. The pommel found on the majority of saddles‘is a very neces- sary adjunct; it cannot be dispensed with. There must be sufiicient'cut out at the sides of the saddle so that there will be no interference with the mus- cles of the interior and posterior aspect of the thigh on the downward stroke. This lack of common concavity to the sides is a common defect in the many so-called anatomical saddles. The most important object to be attained in the adjustment of the saddle is to have the pommel high enough to give the body a. slight tendency to slip back- ward. 5. The average woman should never ride a wheel geared higher than 64 inches; the average man higher than 70 inches. Remember that the higher the gear, the greater the power re. quired to move a given distance. 6. After having become accustomed to a bicycle, never take a. ride so long that a geod night’s sleep will not en- tirely remove all traces of fatigue. Twenty-five to fifty miles a day, ac- cording to the surface of the country, should not be exceeded by the average rider. ".Always walk up a steep hill; it saves your heart. 8. Neve1 ride simply with the idea. of arriving at the earliest possible mo- ment at a given destination; ride for the pleasure that is to be gotten from it. 9. While riding use the same sense in drinking that you would in water- ing a horse. Also, like a horse, stick closely to water as a beverage. Re- member that alCohol stimulates the heart and circulation in much the same way that exercise does, and that if you use it in any form while wheel- ing the reaction is speedy and long- reaching. 10. Never ride on a full stomach; it will interfere with the heart’s action and respiration. A SUGGESTION FROM PARIS. ”i 0 FASHION GOSSIP. If a woman would have the latest elegance in silk petticoats, she must avoid the rustling kind and wear dainty, tied with silk crepe. Narrow fancy belts are qui‘e as: popular as ever, and the latest novel- ty is of white leather, with Clasps of gold and turquoise. The belt Clasps are all.more ornate than ever, being studded with rhinestones, imitation jewels and pearls, and fashioned in rococo designs of both enamelled and plain gold. ‘ The new spring coat will have vari- ety in style to recommend it. but the one which is expected to lead is the “Watteau” sacque, with plain straight fronts and a plait in the back, and cut so that it outlinesthe figure at the s-.ide 0t11e1 jackets are 011 the. cider of the 1eefe1. fit more closely in the back, and are either single or double-breasted. 1‘ Lay out the course, 'Shylock soft brocaded silk skirts, 1'uf-- A TORTUOUS TOBOGGAN SLIDE None but the Darling Could Ever Have the Courage to’ Try It. The steeplechase course of the tobog- gaming world is a twisting, winding mountain path—an icy incline three- quarters of a mile long, with a descent of over 600 feet—running from St. Mo- ritz, in a valley of the Swiss Alps, in the province of Grisons, to the fields of Ciesta, nearly a thousand feet below. St. Moritz is near Davos-Platz, and, like it, is a famous Winter health re- sort. As soon as a foot of snow has fallen the St. Moritz tobogganers begin to which it takes two-lye skilled laborers, with some ama- teur help, six weeks to construct. In the beginning four men, arm in arm, tramp over the projected course sev- eral times, beating down the snow. Then snow shovels are used to fill up inequalities, and to bank the curves and corners. The whole is then iced until it is more slippery from start to finish than the fabled descent to Hades. If it were in a straight line it woull be nothing remarkable, and sliding down it would be the child’s play that it is on- the long direct chutes in” this country, Canada and Russia. But its course is, instead, most devious and desperate. - It twists and turns, describes semi- circles and S's, goes downhill and up, or, on occasions, keeps level. It has “leaps,” and “corners,” “banks” and “straights,” which give the daring coaster wildest excitement of the most varied sort‘during every one of the forty-odd seconds while he is hurling headlong down its length. If the very sharp corners and curves were not banked high, like a cycle tra -ck, there is no telling where the adventuious tobogganer would finally land—New York Journal. Refused to Ofliciate.

Twelve years ago. during the great miners’ strike, mine 139, at New Straitsville, owned by John Elliot of Zamfsville and operated by the Great Vein Opal Company, was fired. It was afterward abandoned. Recently the discovery was made that the coal has been burning all these years, and threatens, unless extinguished, not only to communicate to other mines, but to let many houses drop through the roof. As real estate is already low enough in that vicinity, the land own- ers object to the threatened collapse.
