BICYCLE EXERCISE.
How to Ilerlve the l.reatest Amonnt of
Uood From the I'm or the Wlionl.
How a bicycle should be ridden do
ponds wholly upon the Incentive for
riding It- If the muohino U ustod in
buiiienB, a possibility now in many
cities, no rules need ba laid down, a
the practical ridor will always go about
it in the moot matter-of-fact way that
will accomplish bin end; and if he ridea
the wheel to win laurels on tho racing
path, he will need no outside advice as
to the hows and wherefores of this
branch of tho sport Those who rido
for pleiwure, for tho sake of the exer
cise, or to get away from the din and
dirt of the city's turmoil, however, may
frequently gain a hint or two from the
experience of others, and looking ut
the matter in this light, I shall be glad
to give very briefly my views upon the
subject.
There are two methods of using a
bicycle for pleasure, the first for the
mere exhilaration and excitement of
self-propulsion,' ut a brisk pace, cither
for physical development or to reach a
given point within a given time; the
second for tho more quiet enjoyment of
every thing that pertains to out-door
lifo and nature. I find plcasuro in both
forms of the exercise, and think that a
combination of both conduce to the best
results. There is an excitement in a
thirty-milo dash over good roads that
must be experienced to be fully appre
ciated. My usual gait in accomplish
ing such a run is from nine to ton miles
an hour, with absolutely as few stops as
possible. Tho first ten miles are always
the hardest; then tho muscles stiffen to
thoir work; one gets his second wind,
and even the hills grow less difficult,
and in my experience it is less fatigu
ing to pull stiff grade by dogged per-
sistenco, and to rest in tho saddle after
wards by sauntering for half a mile,
than to dismount. I never drink a
drop of any thing on the road if it can
possibly be avoided, a few fruit, lime
or lemon tablets, which may be carried
in the pocket, usually relieving thirst;
and a bit of ice on a hot day is a surer
relief than pints of water as a summer
drink. Frequent dismounts, in con
nection with a hard pace, are fatiguing,
besides affording capital chance to take
cold by a too sudden cooling off. One
can make a business of resting with
far more comfort at tho end of the jour
ney, in dry clothing, and after a refresh
ing bath and rub down.
, On the other hand, there Is no
greater joy than to take tho road on a
bright morning, with a congenial com
panion or two, lady or gentleman
(though with lady companions I al
ways use the tricycle) and go forth
with no other object than to upend a
happy day,- wandering at sweet will in
the pure air and sunshine. The saun
tering pace, the mad-cap coast, the
'speeding over the level, sand-papered
stretches, the quiet road-side pauses,
and the delightful "browsing and nib
bling," as Maurice Thompson puts it,
about the haunts of nature, all con
tribute to make the day so spent one to
live in the memory. To my mind, the
use of the bicycle making the means
and not the aim of enjoyment gives
the most satisfactory and far-reaching
results. But, after all, chacun a son
.gout. Charles Richard Dodge, in
Chicago Inter Ocean.
ROUGH EMPLOYMENT.
A Young Man Decline to Serve as Mes
senger on a Texan Railroad.
A verdant young man visited an Aub
Hin (Texas) express office the other
day, and inquired if they wanted a man
to run as messenger on the railroad.
The boys hadn't much to do that day,
and they concluded to havo a little fun
with the rustic. They said they were
looking for tho right kind of a man to
put in charge of an express car on a
new line that had just been opened
through a very dangerous part of Tex
as, but that they must first test his fit
ness for the position. They wanted to
know whether he had the necessary
nerve to withstand the shock of a col
lision or to resist train robbers. He
said he believed he had the nerve, but
they might test hiin in any way they
thought proper.
Then they put him into a crockery
crate with a lot of stone-coal, old stove
plate, coupling irons, broken railroad
lamps and water coolers, and rolled
him down stairs into the cellar. This
they told him, was to see how he would
behave when flopped down an embank
ment in an express car. He stood tho
flop very well, consider, ng that he was
a green hand at rallroiuling.
As he was endeavoring to crawl out,
they dropped a box of merchandise
marked "Glass handle with care,"
down through a hatchway on top ol
him; and during the confusion incident
to disencumbering himself of the
debris, four masked men jumped on
him with slung-shots, and then bound
and gagged him, pistols being dis
charged in close proximity to his head,
meanwhile. Then they chucked him
into an empty coffin box, stood him on
his head and yelled "fire!"
An explosion of dynamite immedi
ately followed, which blew the box
open and drove the would-be messenger
through a two-inch partition. When
they dug him out he appeared to have
grown twenty years older during the
civil-service examination. He said he
-knew it was a hard life running express
messenger on a Texas railroad, but ha
had no idea that it was as rough as
that. He added that he didn't think
his parents would like him to follow it,
and if they could find some man to
make the trip ia his place he would
prefer to consider himself discharged.
'lhey let him off reluctantly, assur
ing him that his qualifications were first
class. He wai next seen inquiring hi
way to the nearest powder mi!L Ha
said if h'j must work out he preferred a
situation whci-e he would be safer tliiD
in aa expres car. TtX'it i'iflings.

Purity of heart depends much, so
far as our moral agotuis concerned,
on keeping tho imagination free from
tho secret contemplation of forbidden
objects. Keep the door of tho imag

Weak minds make treaties with
the passions they can not overcome,
and try to purchase happiness at the
expense of principle; but the resolute
will of a strong man scorns such
means, and struggles nobly with his
foe to achieve great deeds. IJenry W.
Longfellow.
You can know something of the
inner nature of a man by, noting his
favorite amusements. An evil-hearted
person naturally turns new and then to
some sinful or questionable diversion
and the zest of his enjoyment will bo
tray him, no matter how correct his
ordinary, outward life may be.

Don't judge a man by the house he

Divorce yourself from fret, worry
and grumbling or talking about your
health. Never ask persons about their
health or stories of pet ailments; as all
scuh talk is a welcome to the com
plaints and a call for thorn to come to
you and abide with you. Nine-tenths
of the ills that bother poople como
from the fret and inquisitivenoss thus
absorbing the aches of action. Trust
your stomach and your brain as friends,
and they will escort you post hundreds
of funerals and to fun, frolic and use

First Railroad in Morocco.
1 The Belgian Embassy which recent
ly visited tho Sultan of Morocco at
Mequinez presented that bnrbario
monarch with the first railroad ever
seen in his d ominions. It was only a
miniature affair, which had been
brought overland from Tangier on the
backs of mules and camels; but a
railroad's a railroad for a' that, and
it was with the liveliest interest that
the Sultan witnessed the first trip of
the tiny locomotive and its one car on
the track laid for them outside the
I walls of the capital From such a
small beginning it Is hoped that In
time a Morocco railway system may
be developed, ll'.uitraled Weekly.
