Calendar and Stand issued by
the Pooe Mfg. Co., of Bos-

be torn off daily. The leaves
are 5 1-8x2 3-4 inches, a por-
tion of each is left blank for
memoranda, and as the leaves
are net pasted, but sewed at
the ends, any entire leaf, as
well as the memorandum
blank, can be exposed when-
ever desired. The pad rente
upon a portable stand, which
takes up very little room, and
when placed upon the desk or
writing table, the entire sur-
face of the date leaf is brought
directly, and left constantly,
betoie the eye, furnishing
date and memoranda, impos-
sible to be overlooked. The
upper portion of the stand is
made of pressed pulp, with
the word “Columbia” in rais-
ed letters at the top, the
whole being handsomely gild-
ed, and practically indesiruc-
tible. Besides the month,
the days of the month and
week, the number of the days
of the year passed and to
come, are specified ; and upon
each slip appear quotations
pertaining to cycling from
leading publications and pro-
minent writers on both sides
of the ocean. Although this
is the fourth year of the Col-
umbia Calendar, the quota-
tions are fresh and new, and
mention the notable events in
cycling, opinions of medical
authorities and of clergymen
and other professional gentle-
men, the rights of cyclers up-
on the road, cycling statistics
