they can receive constant treatment.
This they refuse 10 do. Their peculiar
trouble, 30 noticeable and odd, has
made them very sensitive, and they will
not travel where they will be subjected

People within radius Of few miles
are 80 accustomed to the thing that tbcv
never mind or mention il. Consequently
very few people outside of the inmedi-
ate vicinity, and the physicians who
have attended them, ale cognizant of
the circumstances.
The years of incessant laughter have
told somewhat on the faces of the fam
lly but not so as to be very noticeable.
There are scores of lines under the eyes
and above the cheeks, caused by tbe
drawing up of the skin. Then their
mouths have become wider, and thew
keep them closed with difficulty. The
most marked result Of the disease, how
ever, is in the voice. The entire family
talk in the same tone, resembling as
nearly as anything the voice of an alto
singer. Males and females have tho
same infection and intonatios. Most
OF them have more or less trJuble with
their eyes, several having become very
near-sighted. The pupils have con
tracted and the entire cyeball il dimin-
Ished IN size. This is accounted for by
the contraction Of the eyes while langL-
ing aud the effort required in woraing
or reading while undergoing an attack.
Very little physical annoyance is caused
the lauRhcrs. They read and write.
sleep and work without any trouble.
The only thing they seem unable 10 do
while attacked is to eat, and that can
be readily understood. Several Grand.
children have been born, and in all but
one instance they were taken soon after
birth with stated attacks AT the Same
hours ~ THEN parents. OF course they
do not laugh as the older ones 10. but

Bicyclr Clubs.

The bicycle clubs in America, which
are reported and recognized a. amateur
wheel clubs, are now 100 in number.
They have an aggregate membership Of
about 1000, and they include probably
near one-third of the active wheelmen.
owning wheels, on this side the Atlantic.
Forty eight Of them, or little less than
half, have joined the League Of Ameri-
can Wheelman with their whole active
lists. These clubs exist in twenty
of the United States. the District Of
Columbia and Canada. They are COM
posed almost wholly Of men, and Of gem
tlemen in the good American sense Of
that word. The average age Of members
would probably be not far from thirty
years. Every profession and business
and trade is represented in their ranks
They are less than majority in num-
bers, but more than majority in in
fiuence, among those upon whom the
cause Of bicycling in this country rests.
This is for winter reflection.
Three years ago there was not a
bicycle club in America. Two years ago
there were dve. One year ago there
we're thirsy-five, and to-day there are
one hundred. The membership Of the
older clubs has in the meantime con-
siderably increased, their achievements
have grown better, and their life and ac-
tiviiy stronger. They have not proved
transient groups; they are permanent
organisms. There was no craze about
their inception, and there is no prccari.
BUSINESS about their existence. They.
like the noble wheel, have come to re.
main, and TO increase and multiply.
Let them be kept warm during the
winter, and they viii leap to new life IN
The spring. bicycle World.
