"After tho holidays—one's bicycle raiafc be eleaned-r-if not repaired. I remember a year or two ago whan 4 bikes' were the latest sensation for young hdies. with what assiduity their young owaere wiped and oiled and polished the beloved * whesls.' No mad was allowed to t emain upon the spokes, no soar upon tho enamel was left unsalved with varnish. Up n almost! every veraadah was to be seen the kn ellns fora of some charming Miranda, inbbtng &r& Boourlng her 4 machine' with lips compressed and fait locks dying back from earnest ©yes in the morning breeze It was quite a pretty picture and aff.rded aplendid opportunities for exchanging •Good morning,' and other compliments, with nice fellows, who at such times cf the day were passing the gate on their way to the office ; for Miranda does not bar.a; over the gavden gate looking out for her * boy' fn the manner of 'Armt.' Now, the poor bicycle la run over the stony path and trundle .i into tho shed, mud and all. A shabby hiko indicates the hard riding of its owner'; besides nobody is pa-ticu lat" about their wheel now-a-daya Nevertheless tot those neat and natty -'persons, who do not like using anything soiled or injured, I copy oab the follow lag. Beeswax and turpentine make a grand bicycle enamel restorer. Melt half an ounce of wax in half a pine of turpentine, in a cool oven, and use cold. It must be tabbed on with a soft oloth, then polish the enamel wfih a dry duster, finish off with Chamois leather. It is not necessary t6 say that all dast (not to Bay mud) moat be wiped or brushed off before attempting to 'polish.' In any person, place or things cleanliness must come before polish. Mentioning Chamois leather, not many people know of what great use it Is to the hoassmaid in cleaning windows and indeed any glass, whatever, A ©lean Chamois leather, cold water (no soap), aid & definite intention on s;be part of the operator, to make clean will answer that purpose far more speedily unit satisfactorily than quantities of 11 whiting' cloths, soap and hob water. Then to persevere the Chamois leather wash it carefully when yowr task is over, and hang 1b in the shade to dry, and while ikying, pall it and stretch it. If you omit) to do this, It will riot only dry, but * dry ap,' and be stt2 and scratchy, qalckly tear and become useless. So i! you forget it and It should dry hard and papety, rinse it again through cold water and remember to pall it oat while it is drying . Here are a few more housekeeping hints -■-To clean Ohioa or Indian matting— Wipe well with a cloth wrung out of salt, (oot too much salt) and water. The salt prevents the matting from turning yellow. Ladies whose 6ight is not very strong will find it a great help ts> spread a white oloth over the tables ac which they are aewjng ; or to turn their back upon a good Hght, and work with a white doth spread upon their knees. Teaeqpa will italn when left standing witktea in them, especially if the tea has been made without milk. Such stains can ba removed by rubbing with salt and vloegar. What should we do without salt 1

THE KING'S HEALTH.

The Lancet says it has every ground for stating that reoeni ramours regard ing the health of Hm Majesty the King •re entirely without truth or foundation. He ie in good health, and has undergone oo operation whatever. The British Medical Journal cays:—We have reason to believe that there is not one wovd of truth in certain statements which hue recently appeared in some newspapers vrth regard to the King. Beater's correspondent *t FraafaH on Maine ssys s—With reference to the reports which have been published abroad regarding tha state of the health of King Edward, the Frank furier fieihmg publishes the following : When King Edward left here on September 6 h on his way to Copen hagen, His Majesty said, in coarse of conversation with a gentleman resi dent in this city—- 1! am feeling uncommonly well, and I certainly hope *o visit Frankfort and Hombarg again t&%% year.

A NOVEL BANQUET.

Mr Andrew Oarnegie is to be the guest at ft novel banquet, at which railroad spikes and T rails will appar ently go to make up a large part of tbe solid portion of the menu, while some thing suggestive of molten iron will form the liquid adjunct.

Moilds in the shape of railroad epikss ate being made for tba bread, while the ice cream will be in the ibapftof Trails.

Fried oyster® will be served on a miniature locomotive, and when the blast furnace is tapped there will issue from it punch instead of liquid iron. These are only a few of the queer things that will be seen at the ©sa qtteting board on tbe occasion— Paily.- Express
