A GRAND PROCESSION.
over Six Thousand Kniahts oE Pythias
 Parade In hiiwanEee.


 MILWAUKEE. Wis, July 9.-Unques- tionably the grandest procession, civil or military, ever seen in this city was the Knights of Pythias parade of uni- form rank and non n-uniform Knights. It took two hours for the procession to pass given point.
 Careful estimates by Pythian officers as we'll as by we'll posted military men and civilians, place the number of men in line at over 5000. The uniform rank men in line numbered nearly 5000, nearly every regiment in the United States and Canada being represented.
 As the vast column moved down Grand avenue and brigade after brigade fell in from the side streets, a grander scene of glittering pageantry could not we'll be imagined.
 After the parade the Supreme Lodge convened at West Side Turner Hall, Supreme Vice-Chancellor Shaw presid- ing. The annual report shows that the order had a membership at the close of 1889 of 263, S47, and now about 275, 900. In treasuries of grand lodges, $115, 952.- 03; subordinate lodges, $1,755, ,203. Paid for relief in past year, $7S9, ,455. 53.
 Vice Chancellor George B. Shaw, Eau Claire, Wis, will undoubtedly be elected Supreme Chancellor. There will be a hard fight on the question of crushing out local insurance companies con- neoted with grand lodges.

CYCLING AND HEALTH.
The Bow-LegRod wheelman and Some oa
 His Other Dangers.

His Other Dangers.
 Dr. B. W. Richardson, in the Ascle- piad, points out that unless certain es- sential conditions are obserSed cycling is inevitably injurious to health.
 He thinks that 1t is alwas best to de- lay the commencement of cycling until the body is closely approaching to it's maturity. Even adult cyclists who are too much in the saddle almost invari- ably acquire what may be called the cy- clist's figure. which is not graceful and is not indicative of the full posses sion of perfectly-balanced bodily pow CTS. Hence I should not recommend cycling as a pastime of the schools, and I should not favor it as an exercise. even during holiday times from school, except in the most moderate degree. The systematic pursuit of cycling should never be fully commenced until the rid- CT has arrived at maturity-that is to say, until the age of twenty-one years has been attained.
 The effect of cycling on the upper ex- tremity of the arm and forearm is to slightly bend the limb. the deformity taking place in the armbone and in the fingers, and to bring about an unnatur- al curve of the shoulders. On the lower limbs cycling tells as markedly as it does on the spine, and, as the lower limbs perform the greater part of the work, they usually feel the effects of it most distinctly. Riding brings out and exaggerates any deformity, however slight. The pelvis of the rider, now practically part of the ma chine, is fixed to it, and is almost as rigid as itself. In this position of things the thigh bone is placed under unusual strain. The large muscles in the fore part of the thigh are employed extending or lifting up the leg at great disadvantage of leverage. What .:the strain is on these muscles every young cyclist knows to his cost, and it is not until they get kind of eXtra-natural power that riding is easy. The pres- sure upon the thigh bone causes bow leggedness.
 We still maintain a base error in the machine, by having it so constructed that the pelvis of the rider becomes a fixed part of the machine. This is well shown when the cyclist has to meet a hill. In climbing, we push the machine or drag 1t. We want two entire changes in construction of the machine, one by which we can bring the whole weight oi the body into the propulsion; the other | by which we can call forth all that mus cular @ower which is used with such eff feet in walking and running, but is lost | in cycling. If these two objects were l attained, and there is not the slightest reason why they should not be attained climbing would be just as easy on the machine as it is of it; while the degree of speed that would be rendered appli cable would at least, be doubled; that is l to say. if now in ordinary riding tho four miles an hour of the pedestrian i' changed into eight, it would then, witl
 the same amount of exertion, be turned into sixteen; while the twenty miles al hour of the fastest rider would be turned
 into forty, if that were safe pace t' | trayel.-St. James Gazette.

ALLUDINa to a suggestion that ex- Secretary Villas would make a good presidential candidate, L. A. Kirkwood, of Muncie, Ind, writes to the Indian apolis Sentinel: "No man connected with Mir Cleveland's administration, with the exception of Mir Cleveland himself, was more cordially hated by land grab bers, public plunderers and corruption ists of every description than was Mir Villas. He accepted a public office as a public trust, and performed the duties thereof honestly, faithfully and con- scientiously. He served the whole peo. pie and thereby exemplified in practi- cal way the democratic principles we teach in the politics we preach. MT Villas is a democrat in every respect, eminently qualified to fill the office of the president of the United States, and like others of the party, is worthy of the distinguished honor by the great dem ocracy of the country"

A MISSIONARY in Africa has abandon ed civilization and adopted the savage life of the black men, so we are told. This is only carrying to it's extremes the natural inclination of mankind to re- turn to the habits of their ancestors. Civilization does not bring to us all of happiness and comfort, and there are few of us who do not at times feel the irksomeness of its restrictions and de- sire to secure freedom from it's burdens at whatever sacrifice of it's advantages.

CHARLES H. J. TAYLOR, negro lawyer. of Atlanta, who was minister to Liberia during the Cleveland adminis- tration, proposes to take colored voters of the United States over to the demo- cratic party in body. Taylor has per fected plan for convention, to be held in Atlanta next month, to be com posed of one colored delegate from each state in the union. The purpose of the convention, as announced by Taylor, is to decide upon the best plan of prepar- ing figures to prove to the negroes of the country that they have never received any favors from the republican party and never will receive any. In an in- terview with the New York Sun cores pondent Mir Taylor said that he had visited number of states, north and south, in the interest of his plan and everywhere finds most of the educated and intelligent negroes ill full sympathy with the movement. They begin to realize, he says, that they can never hope to be more than mere voting machines while they remain in the republican party, and that their real friends are the democrats. Taylor thinks that fully 1,000,0 ,000 negro voters will vote the dem. ocratic ticket at the next national cleo. tion.

COURTESY IN BUSINESS.

It Is Always Profitable, Even from a
 Strictly MercenRry standpoint.
 May bring this back if don't like it?" is a question very often asked by customers at the large stores Some times it is not profitable for the firm to take back goods. even if others are bought in their stead, and it Is often question if the courtesy thus extended pays in the long run.
 There can be no doubt, however, that courtesy of language is always proflta- ble. A clerk in one of Chicago's largest retail dry-goods stores tells the follow ing, which might happen a hundred times day in any large city: Two women came to his counter and inquired for Madras cloth. He took some down, and one woman said:
 Why, that isn't Madras cloth. Show | us some of the real article" "I assure you, madam, this is the real | thing. We have nothing else in these ! goods"
 '"They are not like this at Smiths, :" ! said the other woman.
 No" said her companion, they are | genuine goods there."
 I've try to furnish the best thing in the market" replied the clerk, politely. Sometimes we make mistakes, but we are always ready to rectify them. If \ you find that this Is not all Madras cloth, we will agree to get the real article"
 'Will you be sure to give me enough for another dress of the real Madras cloth if I take this, and find that in washing 1t fades, for the real Madras is warranted not to fade, you know, and even if you gave me another dress, it would hardly pay for my loss of time in making this up."
 II am quite sure, madam, that you will find the cloth what we represent. If not, we will do the right thing.
 The goods were finally bought and taken home. The next day the woman, who had left her address with the clerk, was surprised to receive from the firm the following note:
 DEAR MADAM-Messrs. B. and M de sire to state that the goods sold to you yes | terday as Madras cloth are imitation, and not turn the same we shall be pleased to give yoI | In exchange the real article. In case you have | made use of the cloth or damaged 1t in any | way, it will make no difference to us. Please excuse the mistake of the clerk, and return | the cloth at your earliest convenience. Respectfully, -andM-
 This was a good advertisement fol che firm, but even If it had not been the courtesy was appreciated. As the woman said when she returned the cloth: Ut Is worth a good deal to tradG i, with such firm. It is an education il

PORTLAND MARKET.

The week closes with every indication
that spring weather at last is beginning 10
make its welcome appearance after so long
and hard a winter. Merchants in all lines
confidently look forward TO good season,
although the orders so far have been lit
tie slack. The severe Losses east OF the
Cascades both in cattle and sheep will not
be without their effect, but the general
hopeful condition of business all round, it
is expected, will more than make up for
any falling off in that cause. The con-
struction of so many branches of railroads
all over Oregon and Washington wi more
than anything else open up rich districts
for settlement, where the large number OF
immigrants that are gradually setting
among US will find ample scope to earn
good living and much more in many cases,
and it is toward controlling this increased
volume of trade that Portland merchants
are exerting themselves.
