BREATHING IN CYCLING. Without a good deal of practice the cyclist is apt to get out of breath, ami to breathe through the mouth. To attain a good breathing form one should not #0 fast enough at once to lose* the breath, while the pace may be gradually increased until it is sustained in this particular without difficulty. To practice for this, pedal slowly, and try to habituate yourself to taking deeper breaths than ordinarily, through the nose, not the mouth. If compelled to breathe through the mouth it shows the cyclist is going too fast. By practice. however, it will be made easy to keep the lips closed, and to take deep breaths. STORING FKt'lT. Housewives may be glad to know the following plan in readiness for storing future supplies of pears and apples. It is said to keep such fruit in perfect condition. Previous to storing, lay them for two or three weeks out separately on a dry floor, then pack them away in layers with dry straw between. Keep in a cool place but thoroughly protected from frost. The fruit must alsvays be picked on a dry day.
