Cycling As . means of Exercise.
The various notifications of the b.
cycle adapt it TO both sexes, and in
many cases invalids might be pleasantly
helped by it to health again Pure aiI
and a CHEEKY state are often more eff
tective than exercise or the most potent
drugs
AS rule, bicycling e less desirable
than horseback riding, but many per
sons need the more quiet exercise, and
many Others afford neither 10 keep
nor to hire a horse. As for carriage
riding. it is much too passive an exer-
Use for the needs Of most while the
constrained posture is agreat drawback
In any case.
As compared with bicycling, walking
Is better for some persons, and not 50
good for Others Walking is far less
violent exercise, but the movement in
either case brings into active use the
muscles of the arms chest and back
Most people who can have the use Of
a bicycle find walking too slow and
rksome. and the mental state is an Inn
portant factor in all physical exercise

made at tho harms tho major portion
OF the occupants were OF the male sex.
Gradually however. a. the car neared
the. heart VI the city. the ladies'. bent
on shopping had crowded Into the
car and usurped all the seats; that Is.
with the exception OF one double seat.
which was occupied by an old man
who had long since passed mankind's
allotted three score and ten years and
a youth of perhaps 20 years. The
latter was dressed In the height Of
fashion and had looked with the ut
most contempt at the men who had
one by one surrendered their seats to
the fairer sex.
The car stopped at Twenty fourth
street and two ladies OF matronly bear
ing. each with babe in her arms,
entered. They looked about for a
seat but none was In view. and they
at last settled upon the old gentleman
and aristocratic youth as legitimate
prey, and accordingly edged up to
where the pair were seated. The old
man glanced up and perceived the
child-laden women standing patiently
by; glance about the car showed no
vacancies among tho seats. and then
he yielded mis- seat to one OF the ladies.
The aristocratic youth smiled sarcas-
tically and muttered something about
soft old duffer." The aged gallant
heard this slur and, turning. asked
the youth:

II did. How does that concern

and angry. He never stopped to

How the Hardy DuscassSrs Lived On
These nspsilss- x
The Central Park monagerie has
received from DR.. G. Bauer. OF Clark
university. Worcester. Mass. u very
interesting set OF tortoisea says the
N. Y. World. They IRE seven In
number and their slze Is something
enormous for animals VI their kind.
Each one OF them weighing In tho
neigh borhood Of $50 pounds They
are natives of tho Galapagos islands.
in the Pacific ocean, whore they thrive
In great numbers.
Some OF them are en0rnfoua and In
spite OF their slow movements. necessi-
tated by the big shells in which their
bodies are incased. they have been
known 20 put up pretty stiff fight
against man.
The tortoises from the Galapagos
islands have been very serviceable 70
mariners In the times when steam
vessels were unknown and buccaneer-
ing was a science on the PeciHc seas.
During this period It was q matter
Of great difficulty to provide sufficient
food for voyage between one port
and another. Especially was this true
OF the hardy buccaneers. who found it
inconvenient Mt times to put In for
supplies at public places.
This Is where the Galapagos tor
toises came in.
In passing the islands the captains
laid In a supply OF them, ard let them
live until they were to be used as food.
So large are these reptiles. and so con-
gested Is the material OF which they
are made. that two tortoises are often
found sufficient to last crew of twelve
buccaneers on business voyage OF q
week. The tortoise was first killed
and served up in steaks. When the
steaks were all gone there were chops.
After this came hash. and finally
the remnants including tho shell
were cast into a pot OF boiling sea
water. and the result was tortoise
soup. 1t made rather briny. leathery
dish. but 1t was regarded as better
than nothing.
Mr.. Conklin says that an ordinary
man can not eat a Galapagos Island
turtle. 1t requires a life OF much
hardship to fit the stomach for the re-
ception OF such tawny morsels. The
buccaneers who ate those tortoises
have all become bankrupt and gone
out OF the business, SO that the chief
function OF these curious reptiles now
is to bask In menageries and be looked
AT.
It's twenty years since the menagerie
has had any tortOises OF this kind.
Mr.. Holmes. the keeper. remembers
the time distinctly. He carries tho
animals every morning out into the
enclosed yard, and every evening back
into the antelope house. Two trips a
day. seven tortoise Weighing ON an
average $50 pounds apiece make the
total effort required to be exerted by
Mr.. Holmes 2. 100 pounds.

A Diagnosis OF ths Hacking. Persistent
and Dangerous Ma'ady.
A writer in the west facetiously
writes: Nature with lavish hand has
endowed the human body with no less
than s'teen million of spots to which
an ache or pain can be attached.
When each one OF these spots both
inside and out Is filed with a hard
platinum tipped pain; when your head
aches 80 that you are conscious OF all
the rufiies and scallops on your brain
just as you see them in the pictures in
your physiology; when your heart
thumps and your stomach wobbles and
you have the feeling that something is
wallowing through your inside works;
when your sternum feels stove in and
there Ia an uneasiness under your
shoulder blades. as though your wings
we're beginning to sprout; when you
are one moment alive to the finger tips
with thinking OF the things you must
get up and do. and the next complete
ly exhausted by even the thought OF
doing them; when your backbone has
the sensation OF being twisted with a
monkey wrench; when you are SO dizzy
that you can't see, and your ears ring
and eyes water. and your nose Is in
such state that it is presumption to
lay aside your handkerchief for one
short minute; when you cough and
sneeze and groan in turn lin fine, when
you feel like the very deuce-you can
set 1t down that you have the grip.

'Churn- dog" stories are always In
order. A city man. who used to live
on farm, as SO MANY city men did
when they were boys, sends us this:
At home on the farm we had num-
Der OF cows, so many that churning
was too heavy task for even the
men folks. so Mr.. L. rugged up dog
churn. an inclined wheel. a sort Of CO
nine tread-mill. 1t became the duty
of Ponto a large white mastiff, to
tread that monotonous cycle. and, not
withstanding the toothsome bit Of
meat that was fastened on lath with
in four inches OF his nose, he was not
at all proud OF his position and re-
sponsibility.
He made several attempts to shirk
his task and twice succeeded. He
got to know when churning day came
around as we'll as any one in the
house.
On the morning OF that day he
would loiter about tho kitchen door
until he was fed. and as soon as he
heard the notos OF preparatlon-the
bringing OF cream jugs, preparing the
churn, etc. he would put for the
woods and would not be seen again
until night
The day OF churning was changed
and next morning a more crestfallen
and astonished dog was never seen when
he was collared and harnessed TO the
beam which set the dash In motion; he
looked positively foolish. He. did his
work. but with lowered head and In
cogitation evidently. On another o.
casion he tried another dodge When
they were about 70 put him on the

CITY OF RUNAWAY HORSES.

Dangerou, Character Of y Stroll In Ban
Gor--The wild Maine Colt. IN
The report OF stntisticlan that
more lives are lost in the United States
every year through runaways than by
railroad disasters will be readily be-
lieved bv Maine people. writes a Ban-
gor correspondent tor In this state the
runaway horse often causes more ia
talities In single month than can be
laid to the railroads for the entire
year. Almost every other man In
Maine owns u horse OF some kind. but
only small proportion OF the owners
are horsemen, and the horses for the
most part are q wild unframed lot
easily frightened by the breaking OF
breeching, tug, or whiffletree, or by
any OF the numerous little accidents
that are liable to occur at any time.
Thousands OF fine colts are raised in
Maine, but few OF them are properly
broken. with the result that the state
Is filed with upmanageablo, dangerous
horses.
Bangor has long been noted for the
runaways that occur almost daily In
Its streets, and SO pronounced has the
nuisance become that In certain local
tiles pedestrians are In more danger
than they would be In crossing West
street or Broadway. In New York
Bangor Is the center OF a large farm
ing district and hundreds OF unframed
colts and green horses como into the
city every day from the surrounding
co.,ctr,, oil saasona ~ The una,.
several hundred farmers' teams are
daily budding together In the open
market places Of Pickering and Hay
market squares. and when a runaway
occurs there the results are disastrous.
The principal streets Of the city are
traversed by an electric railroad, and
the cars on the line. with their pecu-
liar noise and occasional emission OF
sparks are the pet aversion OF the
country horses
