THE BICYCLE’S POPULARITY.
, The Reason Why It Has Taken Such a Hold on the Peaple. ' A writer in The Wheel, the secret of the bicycle’s
discussing popularity,
The secret seems to lie in the fact the wheel has revealed to us that our naturat powers of locomotion have beea multiplied. “Two blades have been made to grow where but one grew be- fore.”’
The draught upon our strength nec- essary to walk a mile is sufficient to enable us on wheel to travel five mi'es
or more. <Astride of it “magnificent distances” become insignificant. What a glorius feeling of freedom
comes over us when the countryside, smiling and gay, brings to the rider a Bort of contagious happiness! What independence! We have not had to be carried there by the horse of the rail- road, and we are proud to say: “I did it!
Inventors of auxiliary power appli- ances for bicycles should take notice of the fact that the secret to-day of the bicycle’s pepularity is not merely because a person is enabled to ride fast or far, but because the riding was without foreign assistance. Vanity and egotism cut a considerable figure in the wheel's popularity. To say “I rode on an electric motor bicycle to Albany to-day’’ would mean the same as to say ‘I rode ona railroad train to Albany to-day.” But to say “I rode my wheel to Albany to-day” means something entirely different. The rid- er who did this in fast time would be hailed with great applause, and the telegraph would aunounce the fact to the world.
In improving the bicycle the main idea is to get the most results out of the least power applied by man to the pedals. Auxiliary power has nothing to do with bicycle improvement. It belongs to a class of inventions de- signed to carry or convey, not to those by which man carries himself,

Substitutes of Hay.
From present indications the hay crop will be short next winter, and feeders will have toe pay good prices for it. A great deal of the hay crop has been destroyed by dry weather, and chinch bug, while in Some ways the acreage was reduced this year be- cause of the talk about bicycles and electric and cable cars making the de- mand less. But somehow the latter predict’ n has not been fulfilled. Hay is not in great demand just now, but prices are very high, and the outlook not very encouraging for lower prices.
What is a feeder and dairy man go- ing to do, then? If the hay crop has been reduced ke cannot depend upon laying aside enowgh fodder for next winter’s feeding, and he surly cannot buy in the fall, There are many sec- tions of the country where the crop is light and farmers are asking them- selves this question. Dairymen are especially considering the best thing to do.
It is not too late in the middle of
summer to take effective steps to lay in a good supply of winter fodder, but the work cannot be delayed much long- er. One can sow millet, cow peas or crimson clover and rye for pasture. Late fall pasturing will help out, and in order to do this it will be necesSary to sow immediately for it. By doing the work now the rye and crimson clover will provide the stock with good fall pasture until freezing weather is here. Cow peas started now make an abundant supply of fall pasture. A good plan is to drill rye in the corn field. When the corn is harvest- ed the rye will take complete poSses- sion, forming spendid pasturage for the cows, The corn fodder must also we preserved carefully. The stalks should be gathered under shelter as soon as possible after the corn is husked, The longer they stay out in the field after that, the less nourish- ment they are likely to retain,
Another good plan is to prepare for very early spring pasturage. Ry* sown over the same old pasture field late in the fall and harrowed under will give an early pasture. By sup- plying the animals with late and early pasturage the quantity of hay for win- ter feeding will be lessened.—J. D, Morrow.
Breitish Self-Reliance.
In a recent controversy on the ques- tion of foreign clerks in the city, a London merchant wrote to explain that German clerks were in all respects but one vastly superior to English clerks. They talked more languages, they were more regular in their hours, they cost half, they never grumbicd, they took shorter holidays and work- ed longer, and they never drank or gambled, or gave any trouble. The one drawback was that they couid not be induced to take responsibility, whereas the stupid, ill-educated, tire- some Englishman would, and _ that made him, after all, worth twice as much as the German, NO; the failure to take responsibility is not the vice of our race, and, while this ts so, we need not fear the burdens of emptre becoming too great. Be the problems that beset us what they may, depend upon it, there will always be English- men perfectly willing to assume them, and cheerfully and without any his- trionic heroism, to do their best In a spirit worthy of the occasion.—The Spectator.

THAT ACHING HEAD.
What Causes It and How Overcome. How often the remark, “Oh, my head
aches,” and there are so many varieties of aches and pains the head is subject to all along the line from the dull and heavy and oppressed feeling over the eyes to the persistent, racking and torturing misery of Sick Headache. The cause is in most cases the same, the overflow of poisonous uric acid is not extracted from the blood by the Kidneys, and accumu- lating in the blood, causes high and irre- gular pulse, headaches, mental depres- sion and nausea. Chase’s K. & L. Pills tone and restore the Kidneys, excrete poisonous matter from the blood, sending it on its way pure and health-giving, cur- ing Headache, and removing all the at- tending symptoms from its wake. Mrs. G. Bird, Harriston, Ont., while attending the 1894 Fall Exhibition at Toronto, was taken very ill with Sick Headache and dizziness.

CARRIAGE CG THE FUTURE.
Interesting Speculation as te Its Probable Characier.
The electrical carriage, or horseless vehicle, promises to a fad in Gotham, and may eventually supersece the bicycle in popular favor, The horseless vehicle und the bicycle wil probably sooner Or later be manufac- tured as a sort cf comp site carriage, to carry anywhere from one to a dozen persons. When horses «re dispens*| with it will no longer be necessary & have the vehicles Ligh enough to en- able the rider to overlook the animal,
become
and this will produce a change 4&5 radical as that from the old high- wheeled bike to the safety. The car-
rigge of the future wii probably b £0 low that one may step into it trom the street with perfect ease, and the danger of being thrown out from a runaway cor collision will be reduced to &@ mimimum. The carriage will, of
course, have low wheels and elastic tires. For light vehicles the pneu- matic tire my be used. while for
rougher and heavier work some strong cushion tire will be more serviceable Then the dashboard, originally design- ed to pretect the driver from the mud thrown up by the horse’s feet, as well as from the kicks of the animals, will no longer be needed, because there will be no horses te splash and kick. The aim, «se in the bicycle, will, no doubt, be lightnere combined with strength. It is quite Mkely that the most popular and usefu! form of horse- less carriage will be a light vehicle foi two persons, which can easily b¢ stored in an crdinary dwelling, an: this will take the place of, or supple- ment the bicycle in families of moder- ate means. All this is very interesting, and the modern horseless carriage wil, no doubt, come in time; but before it can come into general use in thi: country, there must be a vast improve- ment in the common roads, The or- dinary country road is bad enough for bicyclers, but the rider of the two- wheeled vehicle can ,ick his way and traverse a smooth rut or track of @ few inches in width, while the three o1 four wheeled vehicle must have a wie, smooth causeway. The multiplication and cheapening Of means of travel is a@ vast benefit to the health of the people. The bicycle h-s already ac- complished much for the public health, but its benefit is mainly confined to the active or robust. The horseless carriage will give the aged and feeble as well as the strong, the means of outing.—New York Commercial-Adver- tiser,
00D THINGS GROUPED,
~ Whe Mighest and Lowest Barometric Pres- sure Ever Registered.
The highest barometer-pressure eve! recorded is believed to have been noted at Irkutsk, Siberia, on January 14, 1893, the reading being 31.8. This phenom- enon was attended with very low tem- perature, the mercury dropping from 26 to 51 degrees below zero in two and one-half hours. On the same day there were several ctpervations ‘make in North Sweden, which showed a read- ing of more than 70 degrees below zero.
The lowest pressure ever recorded by skilled meteorologists was 27.8 inches, This reading was taken on board a British ship during the prev- alence of a severe storm on the Bay of Bengal in 1885. The area Of this amazing low pressure was found by observation to be less than 3,000 feet in diameter,
Blilistering a Corpse.
One of the so-called “unfailing tests of death,”” which has been introduced into France, Germany and Holland during the past few years, is known among the undertakers as “the blister- ing precaution,” and consists of pro- ducing a blister on the hands, feet and some other exposed portion of the body of the supposed corpse. The test is said to be infalible for this reason if the blister produced by the appli- cation of a lighted candle, or redhot iron, or fire in any form, is shown to contain water or a waterish fluid upon being opened, there is still life in the body, and a burial under such cir- cumstances would not be advisable. On the other hand, should the blister be empty or contain steam only, the sor- rowing friends may rest assured that the vital spark has flown, and that there is no danger that the corpse is being ‘buried alive.”
A Bird-Eating Tnaee?.
The “Great Mantis” is an insect ot Southern Brazil and Venezuela, which eats birds. It is four or five inches In length, not including his strong jaws and immense, nipper-like forelegs. This pair of enormous “pincners” are equal in strength to those of a craw- fish or a crab, and are used by the giant Mantis in capturing its prey The food of this cannibalistic insect consists of spiders, grasshoppers, smal] fnakes and lizard, and, according tc Brumlister ,the most robust specimens of the genius wil not stand aside with an empty stomach if he can manage to get his nippers on a bird of the size of a canary, warbler or chick-a- dee. The great Mantis resembles a combined leaf and twig, both in coloy and shape, and, being aided by this resemblance, is able to stealthily ap. proach its prey, whether is be rep- tile, insect or bird, and seize the un- suspecting creature with its razorlike claws,
