The Right Rev. A. Cleveland Coke, Of
Buffalo, recently stirred up the wheelmen
and wheelwoIIen by stating that bicycling
is grossly immodest as well as ridiculous
for women wLen they ride on city streets.
Bicyclists will hold a big tournament at
Chicago July "a and 25. There are many
live wheelmen in Chicago.
Wheeling nourishes in Buffalo, where
many miles of asphalt streets I'LL a want in
the bicyclist's nature. Riding on asphalt
requires little effort, and the wheclman
feels as we imagine II bird must feel rs it
flies through the air.
The big tournament ut Peoria, Ills, will
occur Sept. IS and 10 this year.

FROM a cursory perusal Of the state
university catalogue Tor 1892 the con-
viction is forced upon US that "A. A.
johnson, A NJ, d. D., President, % is a
many-sided man. His name and titles
appear formally under ten distinct head
ings, relating to ten distinct branches of
university work. A man OF DR.. John
sons modest and retiring disposition is

THE ROCK SPRINGS ENPLO.
SION

There is a good deal of poetic justice in
the circumstance that the two reckless
Finlanders who caused the fearful explo-
sion at Rock Springs should themselves
pay the penalty of their lives for Their
toolhardiness. The force OF the explosion
must have been something terrific to have
broken window glass IN houses two miles
away from the scene Of the disaster This
can readily be conceived when the i'm
mense mass of powder and dynamite in
volved is considered. 1t is therefore
chiefly surprising that the loss to human
life is so small and the damage to property
so comparatively little. Had the explo-
sion taken place at a time when the mines
were idle the sacrifice of human lie might
have been something fearful to contem-
plate, and the daredevil Firms would
have been whirled into eternity with many
others for whose death they would have
been directly responsible.
Under all tie circumstances, bad as
they are, it is perhaps a matter of con
graduation that they are not a great deal
worse.

DOES IT Ply

Omaha is co%ngratulating itself on the
fact that Geo. Francis Train in his recent
tour of the world placed several thousand
folders advertising that city on the top OF
the Egyptian pyramids. Just what prac-
teal benefit is expected to flow from this
proceeding is not clearly stated. 1t may be
cause for thought to the wandering sight
seer to find such an anomalous juxtaposI-
ton, the civilization of 1000 years ago
contrasted with the civilized methods
adopted in this century by busting towns
of a new Western continent to advertise
themselves and their glazing %glories.
We remember reading a few years ago
the account of a Pittsburger crossing the
Arabian desert. He had long been way
from home and friends and perhaps was
somewhat homesick. In the midst of
the desert he came across a barrel bearing
the name and address of a Plttsburg firm,
that he was almost moved to tears. A
wandering Omaha man may yet be
similarly affected no finding the grand
Eloquent Omaha folders m the bowels of
the pyramid, but We op,ue that the sight
of them will not draw any very scnti.
mental reflections from the breast of the
wandering Arab.
The advertisement is a sentimental
success, but Judged by the universal
American stand point, does 1t pay? Well,

Evil Effects OF Catarrh.
FROM

1t has been the rule to consider nasal catarrh
almost entirely n local disease, and one that
has very little effect upon the general system.
All this is being rapidly disproyed, and it is
being shown that II the nose is in an un-
healthy state there is quite a long list of affec-
tions which may be induced in consequence
Hay fever has often been cured by appIica-
tions TO certain points In the nasal passages.
Asthma, also, has yielded to the same treat
ment. 1t is a well known fact that when the
victim OF catarrb suffers from dyspepsia
scarcely any Improvement in the latter can
be made, no matter what Is done for it, until
the former is on the gain.
Evidence Is not wanting to show that severe
functional disturbances of the lungs, and even
of the heart, are sometimes induced by nasal
trouble. Recently there was reported the case
OF "A woman who had had epilepsy for several
years, and, although she had patiently sought
relief, no Improvement took place until appli-
cations were made to her nose and its condi-
tion improved. Unde that line OF treatment
entire recovery occurred. Very many other
cases are on record which show that the rela-
tion of the nose and other parts of the system
Is very intimate, the connection being, of
course, through the nerve system,
