The fall months In the Missouri valley lend an exhilarating charm to the exercises that cannot be equated by any other season. There Is umiueHtloncd delight In spinning over the roads In springtime' and watch ing the transformation of fields and trees from the dreary brown of winter Into glorious emerald.

Not motu than thrco PLTKOIIS shall ride abreast un any public highway. " It Is difficult. If not Impossible , for a cyclist to "scorch" without bending over his machine.

Jimmy Michael , the Welch wonder , who stripped Starbuck of his laurels at Minhat- 1 tan track In a thirty-three mile paced race , j tells some wonderful things aa to Just what food he has consumed during thn la t six. i jcars of his phenomenal career nvvhcel. Ho ' writes to the New York Journal : "Whit do I eat ? To my mind that Is Hie most Important part of my work , because thn stomach must be handled carefully , as It I' here the greatest good and the great est harm nnd their center. "Let us sco how much meat food I have taken Into my system In the last six jc.ars. H has been almost cntlicly beef , which Is beyond any discussion the most healthful animal food that can be taken for purposes of training. My breakfast almost Invariably consists of a steak , as docs my lunch , vvlillo for my supper my opputtto demands roast and boiled beef "I have figured the amount consumed at not lews thin six and one-half entire beeves during the time I have been racing , that 4s , six jear.3. Take , for Instnce , about two pounds o. day , and I assure > ou I have not cattn ICFS than tint. By calculation that means 730 pounds a year , or 4,580 pounds In six yean. Mark the effect It has had upon me. I have not gained over ten pounds I'ur- Ing tills time , and that additional vveight Is represented in natural growth , slightly moro developed bone and harder muscles. "N'ot one man In a thousand In cverj Iny consumption of beef will equal that amount in txvclvo jears , because the average nun adds materially to his dally diet by eating oil kinds of vegetables , something I never touch. Vegetables have a tendency to nnko slow fat nnd to doultm the muscular organ ism ; particularly Is this true of potatoes , ! beans nnd corn. To the vvorklngman uch food Is almost Indispensable as he regulates his hour * of work to that the strain is light and the ph > sical distress practically none , and ho requires some fat. If all the beef I have eaten were concen trated Into extract It would be sulllclent to run n good sired hnspltil for a vcar , jet the dllfercnco It lias made In my weight Is al most Imperceptible when n icasonable allow ance Is made for natural growth. Every mouthful Is thoinughly masticated , so as to aid digestion Ibis Is absolutely necessary for the preservation of the functions of the stomach. I advise nil training bicjcllsts novcr to cat meat more tha'n medium done , as all the nutriment will bo cooked out of it If It Is overdone Cold boiled beet Is not , ns n rule , good for training purpobi-s , but least beef , If rare , Is excellent. Now as to m > drinking. Tor breakfast I take strong tea and make IU myself In my own pot , allowing it tn steep some minutes , sou Ing It hot and without sugar or milk. Sugar of any kind or In any form Is fatten ing and dulls the senses materially. I drink about a quart ot tea each day. Including what I frequently consume at night before retiring That comes to about C49 gallons sliuo 1 have been racing At lunch and supper I drink a pint bottle of Hass' White Label ale , not too cold. On nn average I drink as much ale as I do tea , and find both absolutely necessary to my inaintj-'nance at the present tension. I have not taken a drop of pure water since I have been In the business , and would ndvlBO all men training for wheeling to avoid It at all times. More disaster to the system comes from drinking water while out on a run than from an > thing elsechllls the blood , stiffens the muscles And operates against perfect digestion when taken under those conditions. If a man Is Inclined to temperance tea will bo a good substitute and will do more good than anything else to build on. I would warn all ilders against coffee ana Eaino of all kinds Even chlchan Is bad , but wild game is reallj destructive. As to oysters nnd clams there Is llttlo or no nutriment In them , and they only overload the stomach without doing It an > good. Uread , plain white bread , is always gool. I eat perhaps a loaf a day. If It can be had from home made yeabt so much tht better. Do not cut too much butter on It. Pies pastry and puddings are all wrong and should be carefully avoided at all times They contain too much sugar and leave bad effects. Highly seasoned food should be avoided as pepper and salt In moderate quantities will supply all craving for seasoning. lloiled eggs are good at times , and dippct toast has Its value. Do not eat until joi aio full to satiety , but eat enough to satisfy your ordinary hunger , as stuffing will weight you down and the process of settling foot will draw on you. After each meal bo careful to walk a lit tie , and as soon as the food Is settled Jo ( along the roadwaj on a dog trot and thci take to your wheel for a long run , enl > resting when. > ou return for jour rubdown Halting along the roadway ami resting will shorten your wind and fix you In Just the light shape to loao every lace you go Into A great many queries come to mo abou breathing when In a race.

A Vi lt to the live-saving eslblUument la part of the diversion of the suiiner boarders at nearly every hotel or hamjt along the Atlantic seaboard. The crews manned tha stations at midnight on July 1 , and will remain on duty until the s : 10 hour enduring May 30. The stations are close during Juno and July. The city people who have trgcd { through the shitting sand to thu aUtkis , say tha New York Sun , have been am ed this year to find that tha bicycle has a conspicuous a place at the stations as the leboati. Tha whtiul * . howtiver , are ludlvlUuj posscialonu. They do not form ft part of the equipment furnished by the life-having service , which , Indeed , gives only a tacit conicnt to the use of them , "How do wo use the -wheel ? " repeated a stalwart life saver stationed on Long Island. "Well , except In stormy weather , the hard , firm strip of beach just along the edge of surf makes the best Ro't ot a blcyclo path Whenever we have to make a trip In the daytime , say to go for the mall , or on any other business , wheeling beats walking every time. The surfinnn on day watch must bo un duty from sunrise to sunset , and he finds that the use of the wheel enables him to keep.i ( better lookout throughout the en tire stretch ot his beat than formerly wns the case , "Hut It la at night that the wheel Is most useful. Usually we work the beach In four- hour spells on duty with two aurfmcn In each watch , We have to set out In opposite directions from the station and patrol from the next station , when wo exchange our metal checks and relurn to the homo sta tions. This means a trip , to nnd from , ot nnywhcro from four to six miles. On foot wo seldom made more than ono journey of It , hut when the conditions are favorable for wheeling wo can cover the beat repeatedly during the four hours. In thick nnd stormy weather the bike Is useless , but on a fine , moonlight night , with the tide low nnd the sand smooth as a sprinting path , the wheel Is just the thing. A surfman then swings his bench lantern over his nrm , and , with his pockets filled with red Coston handllghts for an emergency , he wheels along close to the surf , and Is able to keep a better watch than when on foot. "There la only ono drawback. The shells cut the tires at a great rate. Some of us use the old-fashioned solid tires on that ac count , and the rest of us ail put In our spare tlmo patching up punctures. It seems to mo that the government should provide for the llfo savers solid tire wheels. We all think this would promote the efficiency of the service , and some of us thought of getting up a petition If It would do any good. " JsO.NG 7)1 ? THU WIIC1SI * .

Miss Saffon ! , who Is picsldent of the Iowa Unitarian ntsoclntlon is ono of the most conspicuous of Iho women pistors Shu Is about 40 jeais old energetic , affable and a good speaker. Two other women pastors aio Hev Marlon Murdock and Huv Flortnro Uncle They arc both stationed na co-pastors at the ritst Unitarian church In Cleveland. They took their theological eouise nt Meid- villu and n s > peclal course at Manchester col lege Oxford Still another Unitarian paator Is llcv Mary T Whltne > of the Unity church.

Harriet D. Ilojnton , the last being , with her husband , Rev.

John Mur- lay , the founder of Unlversallsm In America , gave to his wltoltho hcaitlcbt incourage- ment In her lltcrafv pursuits as fni back as 1792 , land It may lit said of this lady that in her espousal of the cause of equal lights for the sc\es she appears to have been quite abreast of the position taken by the advocates of that principle today. Mai la Cook and Ljdla A. Jenkins , both of Now Yoik state , were thu ( list womun who are known to have preached Universallsm. They preached for a shoit time In the caMy pait of this contur > , though neither of them sought ordination. Oljmpla Drown was the first woman upon whom ordination was con ferred This occuirud directly after her graduation fiom the Canton Theological school In 1SG3. There aio now sixty-five women in the ministry of the Unlversallst church. Most of these are ordained , vvhllo these who are licentiates are. In nearly every Instance , pursuing their theological studies preparatory to ordination. Of these alxtj- flvo more than one-half are married and have raised or are rearing families. Thico hold pastorates Jointly with their husbands , and not a few are the wives of clergymen husband and wlfo ministering to different parishes on the same circuit. Among the names most widely known may bo mentioned Hev. Augusta J. Chapln , D. D , now of Mount Vernon. N. Y , , the first woman In the woild to receive from an Institution of learning the dcgiee of doctor of divinity. Miss Chapln has studied and traveled abroad and her attainments have made her much sought after as a college lecturer on liter ature. Hev. Florence Kollock Crooker has met with exceptional success as a pastor.

In fact the women ministers of the church compare very favorable AS to abilities \\llti the men , nd the quality of their work Is fully up to the Blandanl of tli.M of their brothers The ConKrcRntlotnl church of to lay draws no line of eligibility to pastoral ordination between men and women.
