June 30, 2009 on 10:00 pm | In Sports Web | No CommentsI have heard folks say that the bicycle is going out of fashion. That
is sheer nonsense! What have boys, or sturdy young men, or sturdy old
ones for that matter, to do with fashion? The bike is here, and it has
come to stay, and to go on revolving as long as folks live on a
revolving world.

The keel, like the runner of a skate, runs along the center of the
bottom of the boat. It keeps a boat under sail from sliding sideways.

bait. A small, fine-meshed net, fashioned like a sieve and handled by
two, is one of the best means of collecting minnows. They should be
kept in a bucket and taken out with a scoop made of meshed wire, and
the water should be frequently changed.

The marble is shot from the hollow of the crooked index finger, and
projected by the thumb. Good shooting is often done in this way, but
the most expert shots place the marble on the point of the index
finger, and project it with a firmer grip of the thumb. This method
is more difficult to acquire, but it pays as does everything that
requires practice and effort. A good player, as in billiards, can make
his taw carom for position, or he can make it remain stationary, while
the marble struck shoots away in a straight line.

If not the very oldest, these tops are certainly the most widely
distributed. If a good whip top cannot be bought, a first-rate article
can be made from a section of a rounded timber, either natural or
turned. It may be of any size, but from two to three inches in
diameter, and about a half inch or more in length is the best. Whittle
this, with care, to a blunt point, into which drive a smooth-headed
tack, and there you are. With colored crayons, or paint, the top may
be decorated, so as to add to its effect when spinning.
