Benefits Of Bicycle Riding.

Among the main reasons which
bicycle riders give for their choice
of locomotion are the following:
Bicycling is a popular, clean,
nealthful sport, and wheel is good
company.
The wheel is a time saving ma
chine, and in this busy age time is
money.
Exercise on the wheel is better
than walking, because the weight of
the body is principally supported by
the saddle. Strength is economical
and the exertion Of force distributed
more generally throughout the mus
eles of the legs, arms and body, and
equal results in progress rea he'd
by far less exertion, or pro-
portionately greater results by the
same exertion. In other words. the
wheelman rides ten miles in an hour
with less fatigue than he would walk
four in the same time, because in
walking almost all the muscular
exertion is thrown on the legs.
Few people breathe properly.
They use only the upper portion Of
the lungs and leave a large resi-

THE READING COAL COMBINE
DECLARED ILLEGAL.

The decision of Chancellor McGill,
of New Jersey, if it shall stand as
the final law of that state, and if the
tribunals of other states shall adopt
its conclusions as their own, will
prove to be the heaviest blow the
practice of combination has received.
1t will affect, of course, trusts and
other methods of consolidation which
have already been considered judi
cially, but it goes further 1t relates
not only to the way in which corpo-
rations and capital aim to accomplish
their purposes, but also to the OBJ
jects themselves.
The matter came before the
chancellor in a suit brought by the
attorney general to restrain and en-
join the Port Reading, the Philadel-
phia and Reading and the New
Jersey railroad companies from en-
forcing the lease and the agreement
recently entered into for the united
conduct of their business. The in
junction is granted and the several
companies are ordered to resume
their several franchises and operate
them separately. The chancellor
does not found his judgment upon
technicalities. He does not say
merely that these corporations can
not get together in this way TO do
what they intend. He holds that
they cannot get together at all to do
it in any event. Evidently he re-
CARDS the popular title Of the move
ment, which has recently attracted
much attention, the Reading Coal
Combine" as an adequate definition
from the point of view of court of
equity. "The attorney general, 4"
he says, "may have his injunction
when the act complained of tends to
do a public injury" He believes
that such is the effect of this con-
solidation. 1t is designed to prevent
competition and such is its result.
By this lease only one competitor
is silenced, and "only little more
than one-half Of the entire coal
region is controlled. +" But this is
only one step, and other steps viii
complete the process. "The com
modify in which these companies
deal is necessary of life in the
state of New Jersey" An advance
in its price ''is felt BY population
of hundreds of thousands" With
an absolute monopoly "the pro-
moters and sharers may have what
ever price their cupidity suggests.
The monopoly or whatever goes to
it is, therefore, against
public policy and must be prohibited.

How to Arrange Flowers.

When flowers are to be so ar
ranged as to look ike bank OF
bloom, or just as they grow, fruit
cans and bottles of different heights
are convenient vessels to arrange
them in. Do not crc wd the flowers,
and cut them with long stems.
Then set row of the tallest jars for
background, those little lower in
front, and still lower in the fore
ground. To conceal the receptaeles
in the foreground either drop vines
or flowers over the front of the jars,
or arrange them in long, narrow
baskets, or in rustic boxes used
for window gardening. Nasturtiums
grouped in this fashion with the
very dark flowers in the back, the
deep orange flowers in the middle
distance, and the ightest shades in
front, are very effective. Such a
mass of flowers is particularly eff
feetive if arranged in front of mir
ror. The mirror need not necessarily
be over the mantel of an expensive
fireplace, but a long, narrow glass
framed in simple band Of oak or
pine, suspended over simple man
tel, adds grace to a number of pref
ty rooms that know. The simpler
the lines to the mantel the better, as
fretwork and many scrolls, curves
and attempts at ornamentation make
the cheap mantel hideous.-New
York Evening Post.

He Wa. Taught to Eat It.

Speaking about corn and chol-
era, said w. FL. Carr, formerly
chief clerk at the Fifth Avenue Ho-
tel, ~ remember an amusing Incl
dent that came under my observa-
ton. A titled foreigner who evil
IDENTIFY had never studied agricul-
ture, was a guest Of the house. One
day happened to sit at the same
table with him. 1t was about this
season of the year. The waiter
served lot OF side dishes, including
cora. The titled guest inspected an
ear and then laid it back on the
plate. Taking his knife and fork
he began to dissect it, cutting il
into slices and strips. He jabbed
his fork into the center of the cob
and left il there. The other guests
at the table tried to conceal their
emotions with napkins. A gentle
man sitting near me ordered some
extra ears to snow the foreigner
how to get away with corn. There
was profound silence all around
the table, especially near the would
be corn eater. The following day
the titled visitor ordered double
portion Of this succulent vegetable. =

Maud s. to Trot Again.

Maud s. is still! queen of the trotting
turf,
Mr.. Bonner admits that Nancy Hanks
is wonder. but he believes that much
Of her speed is due to the recent i'm
provements in both the tracks and the
running gear of the sulkies.
Ii is admitted that the pneumatic sui
ky is several seconds faster than the old :
style vehicle, and the kite-shaped course
will take still more time from the rec
ords. Maud S., however, will try for her
new records on regulation ellipse-shap.

The great mare is at present at Mr..

Mr.. Bonner said to reporter that he
considered Maud S. the fastest trotter in
the world. There is no doubt in. my
mina,a said he, ''that Maud can lower
her former. record by several seconds
with the assistance of the pneumatic
sulky. The only fear THAI have is that
she may not be able to get in condition.
When offered $4,000 to the owner of
the horse that went q mile in faster ime

the horse has not only less weight to-
pull, but he can move at a perfectly free
gait. The heavier weight brings strain
on the horse that gives him an unnatu-
raj az ton, and SO, of course, he is bound
to lose just SO much speed. l feel sure
shat Maud will lower all records in fine
shape"
Mr., Bonner hopes to have Maud in
condition by next spring, and the trial
will take place as soon as possible there
after 1t has not beer decided who will
handle the reins or on what track the
flyer will make her effort.
