AMERICANS TOO SPEEDY.
n.5, Beat the World in Pedalling the
Bicycle.
The American wheelman, who have
earned the reputation of being the fast-
est riders in the world, sustained this
praiseworthy 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 minutes,.30
seconds, which was record time. It was
also in 1891 that the pneumatic tire first
made its appearance in this country, and
H. E. Laurie, an Englishma who was
visiting America on a racing trip, at once
place the one mile record at 2 minutes
27 10 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 theEnglish 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 2-5 seconds made by J. S. John-
son 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 Bufialo rider went
over the same course in 1 minute 35 sec-
onds. .The conditions under which re-
cords arp 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 a 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-
ner in which “Zimmy” defeated all the
amateur English riders at once compelled
the wheelmen 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 “’itli 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. Why, it is
not a question of any trait of general ap-
plication at all. It simply depends on
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 ‘half—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. “’6 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. Oui-
ideal changes with each new case of
heart affection, for if it 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 consenting to
buy a new dress without the faintest ref-
erence to making over an old one.”
VERTICAL PENMANSHIP.
Its Many 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 éxbaustively 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 chuses of physical defect-s among
school children in various European
countries. The report goes on to state, in
effect, that vertical handwriting was de-
cided to be a remedy for some of the de-
fects; that it has the endorsement, of
various international hygienic congress-
es, and that it is rapidly supplanting
slant writing all over Europe. The physi-
cal defects referred to are said to have
been aggravated byill-adapted desks and
the unnatural and wearying positions
which the children were required to as-
sume. 'l‘he 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 vertical 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.

A HAZER GETS Hl8 DESERTS.
thciu‘d Out and Beautifully Decorated
By His Victim.
The seniors of the Kingston, Pa, Semi-
nary. have been in the habit of playing
mlmemus pranks on the juniors as a sort
of it.i;i:Itio:i to the school, and though it
w-m hazing in a. mild form, it never
av on red to sufficient seriousness to
c. lisc complaint.
Out: of these victims was Herbert
Bruinihum, of Rochester, N. -Y., whom
they heul been teasing for some time.
Such mild tricks as dropping a cat
i-Izl‘uli'arh the transom of his room, sewing
“95138 clothes, putting molasses in his
bed and others of a. like nature, did not
deeply disturb his jovial nature, and as
he made no complaint the seniors were
all the more eager to do something to
arose his anger and increase their
fun.
They at last devised a scheme, and one
night recently it was put into execution.
Six students entered Braimham’s room
about one o’clock in the morning.
had sheets drawn over their heads, with
eyelets cut in them. The sheets reached
to their waists, and one and all looked
alike. It was impossible to recognize
them. Not a word was spoken. All had
been arranged before hand. Braimham
was awakened. Before he realized what
was going on a towel had been thrust ino
to his mouth and he was securely gagged.
A pillow was put over his head, his hands
and feet were tied, and powerless to re-
sist, he was carried out of his room, down
the hall and out to the campus.
His effors to release himself never re~
laxed, but tied as he was, and in the
hands of six powerful young men, he
could do nothing. It was freezing, and
as he had nothing on but his night shirt,
he was benumbed with cold. Without
speaking the hazers carried him along
the campus to the pump, and holding
him under the nozzle they pumped water
on him for several minutes. Despite his
sufferings, for the water was freezing on
his legs and arms, he never cried for
mercy, and, at last tiring of their sport,
the hazers cut the ropes that bound him
and ran away.
Plucky to the last, no sooner wa'e his
hands free than he grabbed at the sheet
around one of the men and tore it partly
ofl', revealing ablue and white striped
sweater underneath. There was but one
sweater in the school of that color, worn
by Louis Rockwell, % years old, of Scran-
ton, the left end on the football team.
Though half frozen Braimham recognized
it and as he made the best of his way
back to his room be resolved that, come
what may, he was going to have re-
venge. .
The opportunity came next morning.
'Owing [to a heavy cold :contracted by
his donsing during the night, Braimham
was late for breakfast. As he passed
along the narrow hall leading from the
student’s quarters to the breakfast hall
he met Rockwell, the owner of the
sweater he had recognized the night be?
fore.
“You are one of the cowardly fellows
who hazed me last night, aren’t you?”
exclaimed Braimham.
Rockwell said nothing and tried to pass
out whereupon Braimham attacked him
fiercely. For a moment or two, Rockwell
who was bigger than his antagonist,
managed to ward off his blows, but
Bra-imham, who had taken lessons in
boxing for a long time soon began land~
ing at will. He struck Rockwell heavily
and often in the face, who at last to save
himself, clinched.
Braimham threw him heavily, and
when on the floor continued striking his
face until the blood flowed freely. The
noise of the fight had attracted some of
students and a professor, and they man-
aged to drag the infuriated Braimham
away from his now helpless foe and hold
him.
After the affair had quieted down and
Rockwell had his face dressed it was
found that both his eyes were blackened
his nose hammered out of shape, several
teeth missing, .andboth lips split. His
face presented a horrible apppearance,
being raw all over. Braimham was un-
hurt. :
Rockwell confessed being the leader of
the gang of hazors, but refused to tell
who his confederates were.
A “Godless Traffic."
A trade which has recently sprung into
life is in our judgment an attempt to
make “gain of godliness.” \Ve refer to
the traffic in “individual cups” for the
Lord’s Supper. Enterprising manufac«
turers, with an eye to the main chance,
have taken advantage of the scare of
certain fashionable Church circles, grow-'
ing out of the discovery of microbes, or
disease germs, on the rim of the cup con-
taining the communion wine, and are
offering for sale very small glasses in
which the wine can be passed separately
to the conimunicants. When the scien-
tists peeped through his microscope and
discovered the poisonous germs, and pro-
claimed dangcr, business right at once
saw a source of revenue, and “individual
cups” are on the market, or may be man-
factured to order on short notice. Philan-
thropy does not prompt this trade—it
is a sanitary measure for the money that
is in its . -
The whole thing is ridiculous. \Ve do
not blame the trade; it is their business
to meet demand, to create it, if possible;
but it is only a fad, the outgrowth of a
fear. The scare is a clear case of running
before getting hurt, and this makes the
craze for “individual cups” too silly to
be followed by sensible and religious
people- Admitting the possibility of
danger, no well authenticated case of a
contagious or infectious disease has been
traced to the single cup as far as we have
have heard or read. And religious people
who love and appreciate the communion
of saints ought to be the very last to give
countenande to that, which, at one stroke
destroys, if not the essence, takes away
at least the semblance of Christian com:
