THE DANGERS OF, CYCLING.
The London Lancet Sounds Note of
Warming.

For the sake of cycling and of cyclists
we wish it were the fact that our knowl-
edge were not practical. Unfortunately
it is founded on nothing but the practi-
cal. We know what cycling means in it's
outside working, but this is little com
pared with what we professionally know
of it from those sufferers from the prac-
tice who do not tell always their most
intimate friends the whole STORY of their
cycling experience. Men who enter on
cycling exercise find for short time. that
it seems to give them a new kind iof life.
They have been confined to the counting
house, the place of business, or the study
they have, so to say, grown old in their
pursuits, and parts of their nervous and
muscular system are wearied with the
monotony. This new exercise comes to
them and all is changed. They discover,
without understanding the reason, that
they have muscular and nervous powers
which have hitherto been concealed
They can cover as much ground in a
week on the machine as they could pre-
viousiy cover in year by their own
muscular powers. There eyes fall on
new pastures, and their intellect is
awakened to lessons read without books
of which they have hitherto had no
knowledge except at second hand, and
then imperfectly. In addition, by reason
of their fresh acquisition, they are
brought into a new social life; they meet
associates to them entirely new, some
Younger, some older than themselves,
but all ''full of cycling;'' they learn from
these new comrades the names and
works of great riders-of one who has
broken his own record by so many sec
onds in race of over four hundred miles
in twenty -four hours; of another, per-
haps a lady, who has ridden hundred
and fifty miles between sunrise and sun
set. These persons they find exalted
INTO heroes and heroines of the wheel,
and there is enkindled a spirit of compe-
tition oftentimes stronger than the in
tellectual spirit itself. Then comes the
competitive effort A book is obtained
and kept, in which each days work is
recorded from the beg inning of the year
to the end. A man utterly unknown out
of his own little circle suddenly becomes
He has ridden, say, some thousands of
miles in one year, or won race, OF made
a great excursion: he is man to know
in the wide and Overwhelming cycling
world. Here are the inducements to
hard cycling, new exercise of body, new
exercise of mind, and new competitive
ambition.
AS contemporary said a few days ago
a propos of these remarks: zone can un-
derstand the insidious strength of the
temptation to indulge overmuch in this
fascinating form of exercise. But the
greater the temptation the greater the
need of prudence and self-restraint; -
We who look on as well as practice the
exercise see the necessity for this advice
with increasing evidence, each month
and year; it is day by day, becoming
more obvious. on the road, on the track,
in the streets of tile metropolis and other
cities, that cycling is breaking its own
record in evidence before the coroner,
before the physician and surgeon, before
the magistrate. before the world at

DOES vERHoEFF.'LIvE?
He Quarreled with Peary. and Perhaps
Hid When the Party Started Home.

The Academy of Natural Sciences and
the Peary Relief Committee of Philadel-
phia are preparing to give to the Kite
and her passengers fitting reception
which probably will take the form of a
grand testimonial meeting.
Facts have just come to light which
give reason to hope that John Mr.. Yer
hoef, who was reported lost, is alive.
Drs Burke and Hughes, who accompan.
led the original expedition as far as Nc
Cormick's Bay, believe he is, and both
have said so to member of the academy
AS neither had seen the other in three
months they have had no chance to COM
pare opinions.
DIR. Burke tells that Verhoeff twas
very peculiar, possessed of indomitable
will and astonished us on the voyage by
performing foolhardy and reckless
tricks. On our way through Melville
Bay he frequently argued that he could
live without any preparation at any point
| where an Esquimau could subsist, and
| appeared determined to demonstrate it.
DR.. Hughes, says Verhoeff gave So, 600
to the Peary fund.- on condition that he
should be Peary's companion on the trip
north, covering some 1900 miles, There
was a misunderstanding very soon, and
Verhoeff was about to leave at Sidney,
| Cape Breton Island, the coaling station.
| DR.. Hughes adds:
| ''Mr. and Mrs. Peary and Verhoeff
| then had a conference, and when well on
to Greenland the latter expressed his dis
satisfaction. The next point of differ
ence was in regard to the stay of Mrs.
Peary with the party, Verhoeff thinking
| that she would interfere with the prog
| ress of the expedition. The result of the
| trouble was that Peary went north &C
companied not by Verhoeff, but by As
| trup, and Verhoeff did not attain the OBJ
| iect for which he contributed the ST.
| 0OO.''
DR.. Hughes thinks the bitter disap-
pointment at the failure of his plans has
| led Verhoeff to seek the Esquimaux, with
whom he claimed he could live, often
chewing blubber in order to become &C
customed to their habits and methods of
life. Verhoeff could get back without
trouble by catching whaler off Cape
York, after he had finished his own in
vestigation.
The arrival of the Kite is expected to
settle to some extent whether Verhoeff
has voluntarily disappeared or is lost
If he took writing and collecting materi-
ais with him, and firearms and ammuni-
ton, DR.. Hughes says it is reasonably
certain that he is alive, but if he neglected
these precautions it is safe to assume
that he has persisted.

Dairy and Creamery.

Sweet cream butter is undoubtedly
gaining in popularity. Only sweet
cream butter is hereafter to be made
from the milk of the famous Guernsey
herd of Vice President Morton, at Eller,
slie, Rhinebeck, N. Y. This growing
popularity of sweet cream butter means
a prettier fight than ever between the
butter extractor and the cream sepa-
rator. Whichever is best, may it win!
One will probably be found best in some
conditions, the other in others.

The hairpins used are not SO much for
con fining the locks in their places as for
actual adornment, and are very fashion
able. They are OF enormous size. seven
or eight inches in length, and half an
inch wide, and are made of various sub
stances, tortoise shell, carved wood, and
ivory, many of them being composed: of
carved figures adroitly pivoted so as to
appear to dance at every breath drawn
by the wearer.
Others are made of glass, and are
hollow and nearly filled with some
bright colored liquid so that at every
movement of the head an air bubble runs
from one end of the pin to the other,
producing q most curious effect in a
strong light. Sometimes an extra fash

HOW TO FORECAST WEATHER.

A Formula of Popular Signs which
are Easily Remembered. ~
r The formula OF popular weather,
signs which is said to be most kindly
treated by the official observers is that
which was adopted by the Farmers
Club Of the American Institute several
years ago. 1t contains 10 propositions,
easily remembered, which are as
follows: ,--
I. When the temperature falls
suddenly, there is a storm forming
south OF you.
2. When the temperature rises sud-.
denly, there is storm forming north
of you.
8. The wind always blows from a.
region of fair weather toward q
region where a storm is forming.
4. Cirrus clouds always move from
region where a storm is in progress
toward region of fair weather.
5. Cunulous clouds always move
from aregion where astorm isforming.
6. When cirrus clouds are moving
rapidly from the north or northeast.
there will be rain within "a hours, no
matter how cold it is.
! T. When cirrus clouds are moving
rapidly from the south or southeast
there will be cold hail storm on the
morrow, If it be in the summer, and
If it be in the winter there will be a.
snow storm.
s. The wind always blows in q circle
around a storm, and when it blows
from the north the heaviest rain is
east OF you; if it blows from the south
the heaviest rain is west OF you; if it
blows from the east, the heaviest rain
is south.
D.: 8. The wind never blows unless rain
is falling within a thousand miles of
you.
10. Whenever heavy white frost
occurs a storm is forming within a
thousand miles northwest OF you.
This is about as far as popular
weather prophecy has yet advanced.
It is not a very great distance, to be
sure, but then it is much better than
trusting to the guess-work Of almanac
predictions, which are made up year
or more in advance.
