Wheelmen of England nnil France
now light mock duels on liicycles. It
Is not a mere imitation, lint a genuine
contest with the foiln, which calls for
am iinii'h skill dm the combats which
took jilnce on foot. The first qualifi
cation for n duellist of this Hint is to
Mil. VOM IW'HF.IDT AND 1113
le an expert cyclist. Whoever at
tempts one of these combats on wheels
must be able to perfectly manage his
machine without the assistance of his
blinds. One of the first principles of
exercise with the foils is to keep con
stant watch on one's opponent. The
slightest negligence of this sort may
give a fencer tremendous advantage.
If his wheel distracts his mind from
the object he is trying to attain be
ives his opponent just so much ad
vantage which he otherwise would uot
have. So what it really amounts to
is that tlie man who w ishes to tight bis
duel on a bicycle must leave the man
agement of his wheel to his feet and
lftiees.
The combatants in a mock duel of
this nature are dressed in the ordinary
outing costume of the cydiid. Their
hands are clothed in gauntlets. The
stockings worn are usually faced with
ft very fine quality of chamois skins.
The shoes are of tho regulation bicycle
fashion, with rubber soles.
On the inner side of the trousers,
just above the point where the leggings
and the bottoms of the trousers meet,
is a round piece of rubber about an
eighth of an inch thick nnd seven and
one-half inches in circumference. Tho
object of this rubber is to givo the
rider a linn pressure upon the ma
chine, just as the rubber soles of bis
alines act ns a safeguard against his
feet slipping on the pedals,
Kacb duelist wears a mask which
has over each eye a projection of w ire,
similar in form to a small inverted
tea cup. This gives absolute freedom
of vision.
A short time ago I was fortunate
enough to witness a contest with foils
between two of the most expert riders
iu the United Kingdom. Both were
mounted on American wheels, twenty
eight pounds each. The wheels were
of w hat is called tho new folding pnt
tern. That is, the frame is so con
structed that it is possible to fold the
wheels so that they come Bide by side,
the centre of the frame working on n
binge. It is claimed that a wheel of
this sort enables tho rider to turn more
inickly, and thus forms the best pos
sible wheel for the mock duellist.
F1GHTIMO DUELS ON BICYCLES
Each man took up n position about
fifteen feet from his antagonist. At a
given hignul both mounted their
nteeds of steel and slowly circled about
ouc another, just as we have seen men
fighting with knives seek an open
ing iu which to make an attack.
The left hand rests lightly on the
handle bar. The right baud grasps
firmly the foil, held at an angle of forty
five degrees. Slowly the two circle
about, until suddenly one ridder
dashes forward as if from a catapult;
there is a clash, elush of steel, and
the first passes are over. The circling
movement is oontiued by both men,
who grow more and more wary as the
circle narrows.
"Look out!" calls the director.
"Gentlemen, uo foul, if you please."
This makes the duellist moral wary,
for a foul by either means the loss of
the honor of the conflict.
'Ware!" cries one of the combat
ants, and a thrust is aimed at bia op
ponent's helmet with a force that
would seem snftloieut to throw him
from the saddle. He sustains the
hock gallantly, and the spurks fly as
me ions beat upon one anoiuer,
KeitUet colist bu loat bi squill
liriiuu for a moment. The bicycles
seem nlmost endowrd with life.
The riders evidently hnve forgotten
id nt they nre not on steeds of flesh
mill lilood.
l'nrry nnd thrust, clever defence,
Mows thnt seem powerful enough to
elenve the mask in twain nit these oc
cur with lightning-like rapidity.
Then like a tlnsh of light one cyclist
whirls and circles almttt the other,
nnd before the latter cnn fairly place
himself in a position of defence the
more active wheelman 1ms touched his
antagonist over the heart with the hut
ton that protects the point, of his
weapon. The cyclist who is thus
FIVE HOYS ON A UK VCI.K.
touched is forced to dismount bis
wheel, and his opponent has scored n
lloint. This in ilin method Hint is
generally followed, and, as may be
seen from the description given, is ex
citing in the extreme.
One interesting result in France is
that it is likely to become something
more serious than mere pastime.
Duelling is the vogue there. At the
same time a duel about which there is
n novelty, is something to bo culti
vated. Therefore, the mock duel on
wheels, which the fencing exercise is
called, bns suggested to the volatile
Frenchman n chance to furnish w heel
men with a method of bis own for re
senting insult.
SIX ON ONE BICYCLE.
Hon- a Komi ItuffHlo Father Take Ills
Five bans Wheeling,
Mr. " om Scheidt, of Buffalo, bns
five boys and a bicycle. As the bicycle
is an ordinary wheel intended for the
use of one person, nnd as the boys are
A SEW 8P01IT IN EIT.OPE. -
all of them too small to stride the
paternal machine, it is difficult at first
to imagine the connection between Mr.
Vom Scheldt's six possessions. A
glance at the illustration, which we
reproduce from the columns of the
Buffalo Express, will, however, show
that there is something in common to
all, and that there is something very
vital to the enjoyment of the Vom
Scheidt youngsters.
The spectacle of Mr. om Scheldt
and hie family enjoying a spin upon bis
bicycle must be edifying indeed, espec-
tally when the family tackle a sharp
hill on a warm day. At this distance
from Buffalo, says the New York Her
ald, we can almost lieur the paternal
muscles giouu and see great drops of
perspiration rolling down the Vom
Scheidt brow.
The boy iu front of the family group
is twelve years old, and so is the boy
in the rear. No. 2 on the wheel is
the latest Vom Scheldt to enter this
world of sin and wheeling. He is
about six months old. The boy seated
just behind the baby is five years old.
The Bext is seven.
Mr. Vom Scheidt is as muscular as
be ii kind hearted. Uo hat wheeled

himself and his five sons hundreds of
miles. He has even tnken them on
several occasions to Ningnra Falls and
back. It ran readily he believed that,
as n contemporary remarks, "This bi
cycle load is the centre of observation
wherever it goes."

This Indian chieftain is on bis first

was taught to ride Inst year by C. C.

SLAVONIAN LAUNDERING.
Mangle fnnnlntfl of a liunmy Log nnil
Hollers, I'rnpelleil by Frail Women,
Hlavonin is in Austria, or rather in
the extreme south of Hungary, but its
people are nearly all Hervinu. Its
plains stretch for miles in an endless
expanse of perfectly flat country. Its
mud is fathomless, its women's daily
task of scouring nnd fighting ngninst
the dirt that the "men folks" bring in
from out of doors on their shoes is
never done. Between times there is
the mnngle.
This is n stout plank abont seven
feet long, rnised to a height of two
feet upon rough hew n logs. The mid
dle of the plunk is gripped by n frame
work rising from the Door to a height
of five feet, with three great beams
running ncross it, tho whole fastened
together with pegs. Upon the plnnk
are laid two rollers, and on these rests
il half log of wood just fitting between
the sides of the frame. This weight is
smooth on its under surface, rough
hewn above, nnd is provided at each
end with three pegs which servo ns
handles.
The ironer, when ready to begin,
A SLAVONIAN WOMAX moNlNOi
takes a sheet, for instance, winds it
tightly around one of the rollers and
puts an old ironing cloth nround the
outside. Thou, lifting one end of the
log nnd placing the roller under it,
she works the weight to and fro, until
the wrinkles are all presumably
smoothed aw ay. Then the sheet is re
moved, folded and put away, and tho
next "ironing" perhaps another sheet
or three or four towels, or hnlf a dozen
handkerchiefs substituted. Tho sec
ond roller acts merely to balance tho
log, although two ironers cnu work the
machine, one nt each end.
The womnn who irons is as pic
turesque as her tools, when she
wears the Slavonian peasant cos
tume. Her shoes are flat and beelless;
she has no stockings, but winds linen
about her lower limbs and binds it in
place with thongs, leaving a space of
two inches or so bare below the edge
of her kilted skirt of coarse, undyed
linen. Her yellow, sheepish jacket is
ornamented with patches of red and
purple leather, quitted on with bright
yarns, and ber head is covered with a
gaudy kerchief. Almost as often, bow
ever, she is stripped of ber finery, ex
cept on Sundays, and wears At her
work bedraggled clothing of western
Europe's unattractive work-o-day pat
tern. The original log of Captain Cook, of
the ship Discovery, in which he dis
covered the Hawaiian Islands, has
been found among the British archives
at London. The log was taken to
Kamtchatka after Cook's death by a
Russian warship, thence to St. Peters
burg, and from there to London.

To pack eggs in salt, use "coarse

with three inches salt. On this place
the eggs, large end down, fni enough
apart so they will not touch each
other or sides of tub. Then cover
this layer entirely with salt; follow by
another tayer of eggs, and so on until
the tub is full. Keep in a cool dry
place. II. O. ltufllngtoti, in New Eug

Itennvatlng Feathers.
On wnsbdny when the boiler bns
soapy, steaming water in it place a
stick ncross the top to ' help support
the bed, pillows or whatever contains
the feathers. Arrange the bed nicely
over the boiler; it can easily bo done
by doubling. Turn the bed, thnt the
steam may thoroughly permeate nil
parts, then bang or expose in the sun
and air. This will not enliven feath

Nice Wn.vln Serve Ornngcft.
Here is n nice way, though just a
little troublesome, perhnps, to serve
oranges. Make a rich, thick syrup of
sugar and water in which you have
boiled orange peel till it is tender.
I'ut the peel aside to use when dried
for seasoning other things. Select
large, rather tart oranges, peel and
divide them into single sections with
out breaking the skin. Drop a dozen
or so of these sections'ihto the boil
ing syrup nt n time, leave a few min
utes, nnd then Iny on a sieve to drain
over n deep dish. Treat nil the sec
tions this wny, nnd by the time yon
hnve finished the lot the first hatch
w ill be ready to dip again. It will
take about half a dozenilips all around
to do the business. Vnon cold serve
piled up iu little glass dishes.
True Ittitrfor ('milling rotators.
So simple n thing ns a potato is in
suited by half the cooks ill Christen
dom. When potatoes nre to be boiled,
pure and simple, only a vandal will
peel them before cooking. Potatoes to
lioil should be of uniform, medium
size, so that one w ill be all that one
person wants to eat; and not any more
than n healthy appetite will demand.
Cutting them injures the flavor for
boiling. They should be smooth and
plump, nnd should be scrubbed with
a clean sen-grass brush thnt is used
for no other purpose. They should
soak for hnlf an hour in cold water
before being put in boiling water, and
should not cease a good steady boil in
A covered vessel until they nre ready
to serve, l'onr oil' the water, nnd set
on the back part i f the stove with the
liil on" to let them dry thoroughly be
fore serving, and then you will hnve a
nice, mealy potato well worth the
trouble you have takeu. The same
rules should be observed for baking.
Tho oven should lie mode rntely hot,
increasing to a good heat rapidly.
When done, which you ascertain by
testing with a fork, take in n linpklu
and break the skin on one side, to let
the steam escape, drop a lump of but
ter in the break, if vou like, and re
turn to the open oven for a moment
or two, till ready to serve. Washing

CONGRESSIONAL,
June 10. The sugar schedule wns
then taken up, and Mr. Allison, on be
half of the Finance committee, of
fered an amendment making D5-100 of
a cent the duty on refined sugars. Mr.
Jones, Democrat, Arkansas, argued
that the proposed schedule would In
crease the profits of the refiners. Mr.
Vest, Democrat, Missouri, said the
surar trust had a capital of 175,000,000
common stock and $75.mki.OOO preferred
stock, an aggregate of $ISO,0Hl,000, with
profits of 12 per cent, on Its common
stock artd 7 per cent, on the preferred
stock. He said there might be some
doubt In the Senate as to what the new
schedule did for sugar, but there wan
no doubt In Wall street. The sugar
stock went tin from 14 to 15 a share art
soon as It wns known what the new
schedule contained. Mr. CarTery, De
mocrat, Loulslann, placed the proms
of the trust at cent a pound on 4,000,
OOft.O'iO pounds of sugar, w hlch would be
ii'o.noo.ooo.
No final action was tnken on any
feature of the schedule. This leaves
the House provisions of the bill, with
an amendment Increasing the House
tlliferentinl from 875-1000 to 95-100 cents
per pound. The provisions relntlng to
the Hawaiian treaty went over by
mutual consent.
.lames T. Loyd, elected to succeed
the lute Representative Olles, of the
First Missouri district, took the onth
In the House to-day. A resolution wns
passed to pay the salaries of certain
consuls. The Speaker declared the
House adjourned until Monday.
June 11. The tariff bill was tnken
up. and consideration of the sugar
schedule resumed. Mr. Oormnn In
dlsciinHlng the bill remarked that the
bill increased the burden of every man
by 10 per cent. Mr. Allison held thnt
the bill would be of no more advnntnge
to the sugar Industry than the Wilson
hill was. Continuing he snld It was
the policy of this bill to establish the
production of sugar In this country,
and keep the $100,000,000 annually paid
for sugars by our people at home.
PENNSYLVANIA LHGISLATURE.
