"At length, one day, Professor Bowman,
our instructor in natural science, came to
me and advised me to try Dr. Vfllismj
Pmk Pills for Pale People. They had cured
him of an illness cnilar to my own.
"I resolved to take his advice.
"The first box of puis did me good.
The second box gave great relief, such as I
had never experienced from the treatment
of any physician.
" Sis boxes of the pills cured me. I feel
better and stronger than for years. I cer
tainly recommend the medicine."
To strengthen his testimony in the eyes
ff it.. l I - U1 J u a-
its truth before Lyman J. Scuddcr, a local I
Notary fublic.
The cure of Professor Barnaby was ef
fected by restoring tone to the nervous sys
tem, the weakness of which caused his in
digestiomand was the reason for his break
down. The pure, powerful vegetable in
gredients of the pills supply the elements
necessary to build the wasted nerve cells, and
by purifying the blood, assist in the cleacs
ingand upbuilding of the entire system.
The almost miraculous power of the
pQls has been exhibited in thousands of
cases like that of Professor Barnaby. prov
ing them to be nature's specific for the ner
vous breakdown so common among hard
workers.
All druggists sell Dr. VttliW Pink
Pills for Pale People, and count them
among the most valuable medicines that
adrntilic research has ever revealed.

About It.
When rider is about to replace the
chain upon hia machine it frequently
happena that difficulty ia encountered
in the effort to join the ends and In
sert the chain bolt. Sometimes, in de
spair, he loosens the rear wheel and
shove it forward, although he knows
that the chain adjustment waa right
before the chain waa removed.
The trouble la due to an effort to
join the ends of the chain in the
wrong way. He should begin by lay
ing one end on the large sprocket, an
shown at left of the picture, and hold
HOW TO JOIN A CHAIN.
It there with the right hand, while
carrying the chain over the small
sprocket and around forward under
neath with his left one. Then chaugc
hands. Hold the end of chain ou top
of sprocket with left hand, and pick
up the other end from below with
right hand, and bring it into position
shown at right sido of picture. Both
ends will then fit over the teeth of tho
sprocket wheel and will fall exactly
into place, so that the bolt will fit in
without difficulty. L. A. W. Bulletin.
RIGHTS OF WHEELMEN.
Illercles Have as Manr Prlrlleses in
the Pobllo Highway as Other
Wheeled Vehicles.
An example should be mode of some
of the teamsters who insist upon dis
regarding the rights of wheel riders In
the public streets.
Many drivers of teams take especial
delight, apparently, In occupying as
much of the paved streets as possible.
They do that particularly on streets
where there are railway tracks. Driv
ers of heavily loaded trucks and
wagons Insist upon getting in the mid
dle of the space between the curb aud
the railway tracks, and will turn
neither to the right nor the left to let
a wheel rider pass, when they could
easily make room without inconven
ience to themselves.
Perhaps the drivers are not aware
of the fact that a law was passed at
the recent session of the legislature
which provides that wheel riders shall
have the right of way ia the gutters of
all roadways, and making It a misde
meanor for any driver of a team to re
fuse or neglect to turn out when noti
fied to do bo by a signal from a wheel
rider's belL
It Is pure meanness which prompts
drivers of teams to obstruct the way
of wheel riders, and If the police would
arrest a few of them a good example
might be set. Ittoycles have just as
many rights In the public highways as
have other wheeled vehicles, and. Inas
much as wheel riders are forbidden to
nse the sidewalks, an sffort should be
made to save the portion of the streets
to which they are entitled from un
necessary obstruction. Cleveland

SCREWING ON PEDALS
A Subject Old the Safet? lUcrcle
Itself la Aft-ata Coming l'p
(or Dlamaslom.
The question how pedals should be j
screwed Into cranks Is being discussed ,
on the other side, and much the sumo ;
arguments are being used that were i
used here hi a similar discussion some ,
tlaio ago. It Is curious how lntelll- I
gent, practical and experienced men i
differ on this subject, and how various i
are the explanations of those whoso '
opinions do coincide. After every- j
thing la said, however, one fact re
mains, and that is that the right side
pedal pin must have a right-hand
thread and the left side pedal pin a
left-hand thread. In other words, it is
necessary to have both pedal pins
nraw irrarnnia th flnnt of fhn fnn-
I chine aa ther are Dut Into the cranks.
Experience has proved conclusively
that, with a good fit, pedals put ou
this way need to be screwed up but
moderately tight, while pedals
screwed on the reverse way (toward
the rear) have to be jammed hard In
a disadvantageous and Injurious man
ner In order to make them hold. L. A.

Aatomatle Chain Cleaner.
A Providence (R. L) inventor has ad
vanced an attachment for automatic
ally cleaning the chain of a bicycle
when It is In motion. The inventor
claims to have provided a device
operating with practically no friction
and simple in construction. It con
sists of a rotary brush on the arm at
tached to the lower stay on the
sprocket side of the wheel. The lower
portion of the sprocket chain passes
between the forks of the arm, rests
upon the brush, and, as there is al
ways more or less slack in the chain
at this point, its own weight keeps it
in contact with the brush, which is
made to rotate and clean the chain as
It passes over It

Dr. Sargent, of the Harvard uni
versity gymnasium, says that the
chest capacity of the person who aits
upright on a Wheel Is 40, one who
sits at an angle of 45 degrees, 200, and
the one who assumes the scorching
pose 210. Dr. Sargent approves of a
rider loaning over at an tingle of 4!i
degrees. pisviJed the beiid is held

Secret ftatnre of the Flies A Substi
tute for Slarrlaae A Negro's
Illustration.
The southern darkies are a constant
source of amusement, when they are
not the cause of unmitigated wrath,
to the northern people who go down
there among them. The other day a
young northern woman, living In
Washington aud possessed of a deep
aud abiding antipathy for flies, com
plained to Luclnda, tho oolored serv
ant, that there were a good many of
tho pests In the house.
"I don't see, Lucludu," she remarked,
severely, "how all these flies could get
In If you kept the screen doors closed."
"Well, I dunnu, eitheh, miss," cheer
fully remarked Luclnda. "Hut you
know they ia of a sec cot nachuh, mlsa."
Down In Mississippi, in one of the
lumber towns, wldch is owned by
northerners, the house servants and
some of the laborers are darkies. They
are not very strict In their notions of
law and order, and they have their
own nnd very lax Ideas along the line
of matrimony. Wives aiul husbands
are swapped off with such freedom
nnd frequency that It is rather hard
to keep track of the exact contempo
raneous combination among the ne
groes at a given time. The colored
: people have solved the delicate point
t of expressing exact relationship by
i avoiding the subject of matrimony al-
together.
I " 'Uze she's cookln' fur Duke John
j eon now." That's the way they put it.
' The woman doesn't "marry" anybody.
She "cooks fur" him.
One of these darkles yin tolling
I about a woman on a steamboat. The
levee hod caved so that the boat had
I to land further up than wual. It was
st night and the searchlight, tamed
; on the bank, did not reveal anvthing
familiar to the woman. She hung
back, therefore, and the darkv who
hod been detailed to put her ashore
I didn't know what to do.
j "She stood thah like a horse loolcin
at a strange gate," he said.
! It was this same negro who was one
day listening to one of his sequalnt
I nnces dilate on experiences with the
Lord. From the darky's accounts
these experiences seemed to have
been extremely Intimate, and without
a word of comment the negro spoke
up and said:
"Wen you all seen de Lord, wah lie ?"
That is to say: When you saw the
Lord, where woe lie?
The boaster was quite taken aback
by this simple question and subsided.
