The London papers have made numerous
comments on the wonderful effect that a very

SIR HENRY BIssEMER recommends the isse-

called bank note made of metal n would
answer all required purposes and would make

proposition is to take a thin plate OF aluminium

would represent the value Of 81 and should be
made redeemable on presentation. Its intrinsic
value would be small, of course. but by means
OF a newly invented process it could be made so
1t would defy all the ingenuity of the forger
which would really make il a thing Of great
value after all. The metal Is so Ignt that the
little aluminium disk could never be mistaken
for a silver coin; and it would surely be a much
peaSanter thing to handle than crumpled
dirty bank note. impregnated, possibly with
the germs OF many diseases.
AFTER examination of a great number of
statistics on the subject, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch, the inference is drawn that bicycle
/ riding, when properly taken, is one OF the best
cures for dyspepsia known to the medical pro-
fession. Pepsin and other drugs are recon-
mended to be laid aside by the business and
professional man. and after business hours
every afternoon short ride on the bicycle
should be taken at a moderate speed The ex
ercise must be stimulating and not exhaustinz
About one hour daily is recommended for this
exercise, and beyond that point there is danger
of exhaustion. The pleasure OF riding should
be taken systematically, ana not spasm odically
This will generally cure all forms OF dyspepsia
functional. emotional and nervous disorders
Of the stomach. The man who dii-
gently works at manual labor for bis
living seldom suffers from dyspepsia because
his system can dispose of all the food put in 1t
but sedentarY workers have 60 have deliciousy
cooked and appetizing dishes set before them
to make them eat. Consequently there Ia taken
into the system material that is hard 10 digest
ana some strong physical exercise is needed
daily TO stimulate the stomach in its work
Walking is not sufficient exercise TO cure or
prevent dyspepsia IN such people. The bicycle
ride gives the necessary relief and relaxation Of
the mind. Govt and rheumatism which have
been brought on by dyspepsia arc also greatly
relieved b. this form OF exercise. Evidently
the bicycle has come TO stay as q health pre-
terver II for nothing else. and it's use win con
