Persons who ride or drive above Fifty
ninth street cannot fail to note that
within a year there has been a sudden
and marked increase in the number of
bicycles on the road, and residents on
any well-paved road in the same part of
the city can testify that "the steel
horse" as the bicycle has come to be
called in England, is often on the road
as early in the morning as horses less
tough of fiber. The popularity which
bicycling has suddenly reached in New
York is as gratifying to many who never
the most earnest devotees of the new
sport, for anything that will offer the
young men of our city new inducement
exercise out of doors is of general benefit
to the community. The steel horse has
its limitations not by these, but by its
possibilities, it should be judged. It is
shapely, swift and safe. It never throws
its rider, although the rider sometimes
throws the horse. It never stumbles,
balks, bucks or kicks never takes the
bit in its teeth and attempts to run
away; it has not the vice so dear to all
other horses, of casting shoe at exactly
the wrong time, and it can make its best
time and distance without being blown
or running the risk Of laundering. It
can be turned loose anywhere immedi-
ately after use. Nospecial stalls nor any
disagreeable and expensive retinue Of
stable-boys are necessary to its safe
keeping, and the owner is never likely
to be greeted in the morning with the
information that his corrser has died
during the night. Such an array of
special merits should be enough to com
mend anything to the favorable notice
OF spirited young men. Even men who
are not young could make their days
cheerier and gain apromise of additional
days in which to be CHEEKY, by making
frequent use of the steel horse. e.-NeW

Habitual Mouth Breathing.

Many people sleep with the mouth
open, and thus make this organ perform
q duty which should be transacted by
the nose. There are many objections to
this, and DIR. Wagner clearly points them
out. The air in passing through the
channels OF the nose, for instance, is
raised to the temperature of the body
before it reaches the larynx. Thus
breathing, no matter how low the tenn
perature may be, the sense of cold is
never felt below the border of the soft
palate. But when one breathes through
the mouth on Geld day the sensation
proceeds as far as the larynx, and an ir-
ritating cough may be caused. Then,
again, IN nose breathing the air is moist
ened by the natural secretions which
cover the turbinated bones in a condi-
tion OF health, and the short bristly
hairs at the openings of the nostrils act
as n filter to arrest impurities and reduce
the likelihood of laryngial, bronchial, or
pulmonary, disease. Infants, athletes,
savages and animals breathe through the
none-theo ordinary civilized man employs
the mouth to an unnecessary, and often
10 very injurious, extent.
The causes of mouth breathing are
myriad. Complete or partial closure of
the passages, polypus, congenital bony
closure, enlarged tonsils, protruding
teeth, adhesion of the soft palate of the
posterior wall Of the pharynx-all these
are sufficient causes Of mouth breathing.
The indications are not SO subtle as not
to be readily recognized. Retracted
lips, open mouth, receding gums, pro-
truding teeth, shrunken alac, decreased
size OF the nostrils' orifices, wrinkles at
the eyes outer angles, and lines extend
ing from the alac TO the mouth angles.
are the predominant signs. The effects
OF mouth breathing upon the pharynx
are often most deplorable. The mucous
membrane becomes much irritated. A.
chronic engagement of the blood ves-
sells may take place, until permanent
dilitation Of the vessels is produced, and
80 on until the disease known as clergy
mans sore throat is produced. The
writer devotes a part of his space to
showing the bad results of sleeping with
the mouth open, and suggests an appro-
pirate remedy. II all snorers were to
adopt 1t one Of the most disagreeable
noises OF the night would be silenced,
for people who breathe through their
noses while sleeping never snore. The
nifty short and clearly printed pages of
which this monograph consists appear
TO exhaust the subiect.-Dr. Clinton

scoville, Guiteau's lawyer, it is said, mis-
apprehends the situation, and has not the
ability to manage the case with proper refe--
ence to the public temper. Some things that
he has let drop show that his experience as q
real-estate lawyer and lack of practice in crimi-
nal proceedings may lead to a course that can
not be anticipated except with alarm in view of
the inevitable effect such line of policy would
have upon certain elenleuLs in the country.
Unless he accepts judicious advice and proceeds
with more discretion than he has indicated we
may expect to see the unrefective public ex-
cited again through the same agencies as
characterized the wild utterances during the
first few days after the tragedy of July 2.

HumOr and Happiness.

All pure, sweet laughter is a sign Of
happiness, and happy people are much
more apt to be virtuous than the unhap-
py. Be good and you will be happy is
hardly a more valid saying than be hap
py and you will be good. In the matter
of thought and character, it has many
times been observed by the most careful
students of the mind that the lack of hu-
NOR involves very serious intellectu.-l
defect, a lack of nice discrimination.

In the garb that was guiltless of colors

Well-prcportioned and graceful found her,
Although quite alarmingiy slim. =

And though could not understand ali

Impressed by her limpness and langour,

She looked back mild sort Of anger
Posed anew, and continued to stand.
Some praises next tried to mutter

She said 1t was utterly utter,"
And waved it with languishing grace.

A dispatch from Tunis states that an attack

Gently attacked Ali Bey. The station master,
an ex-Lieutenant in the French army, and
chevalier of the Legion of Honor, was burned
alive, and ten employees, mostly Maltese and
Italian, massacred. Six hundred French troops
went there the 30th ult., but the Arabs disap

was undoubtedly caused by the wholesale de-
struction of the olive forests, villages and vine-
yards which General Sabatier conside: ed nee

THE DEMON ARCHITECT.
BY M. E. LOCKE.

Somewhere have read a strange story,
Sent down from the ages of old;
1t may be some monk in his clostef
This wonderful story hath told
So long it hath been since read II,
1t looms indistinct to my mind;
1t seems like far-distant echo
Borne on by the whispering wind.
How once in Cologne the Archbishop
A mighty cathedral would raise,
That, reaching high into the heavens,
His greatness should silently praise.
The architect he had commissioned
Wrought many and many plan,
Dreamed long over that which should make hin.
Eternally known unto man.
But, long though he patieD.i labored,
At last he was brought to despair;
No plan he could draw appeared worthy
OF projects SO vast and SO rare.
One night, as he sat by the river,
His head sadly leaned on his hand,
A demon approached from behind him
And rapidly drew in the sand.
A vision of marvellous beauty
Was sketched on that treacherous sand~
wonder Of columns and arches,
And steepies and minarets grand.
But line after line the scene vanished,
As fast as it ever had grown,
And back to the depths of his sorrow
The suffering artist was thrown.
On parchment the demon then drewit,
Which snatching, the architect ran,
And, battling back his pursucr,
Trtumphantly clung to the plan.
"Thy cunning shall profit thee nothing"
The demon thus terribly swore.
"And, though the design shall be finished,
Thy name shall be heard nevermore."
Long years had they toi'ed at that building,
When the architect mounted one day
High up on tower, to chisel
His name where forever 'twould stay.
But suddenly down fell the scaffold,
Before the good work was begun;
The days of his life had been numbered
The course of his life had been run.
And, now that the labor is finished,
Nowhere in the world is it known
The name of the artist who fashioned
The beautiful church at Cologne.

Treasury Departments burglar-proof safes,

Jail, and duplicate key be held by the United

to unlock the safe. The safe en- route will be

to be traversed is commons and sparcely settled,
and grave apprehensions for the prisoners
safety are entertained.
