Bicyclists on their wheels are to be ad-

all. The bureau of public comfort has
decided't to take the barred-out wheelmen

riders are making the grand rounds on
foot. A structure 400x255 feet is to be
built under the superstructure of the in
tramural railroad, just south of the Six

date 1000 bicycles, and a charge of %
cents will be made for keeping the wheels

will be used, and all the tools needed for
making repairs will be found by the
wheelman whose pneumatic tire has been
punctured or whose pedal has gone aszew.

In Mulberry Bend, New York, the
! thrifty tenant melts down the lead
joints of the water pipes and casts them
! into coin, after which he asks his land
/ lord why the diavolo he doesn't see to
the plumbing. But there are queerer
ways of making money than that in
this city. One of them was recently
laid before me in story which ap-
pealed strongly to me as a young man
trying to make his way in the world.
The narrator was devoted TO the heal
ing art. He had been educated for a
ward heeler, but somebody had turned
"agin him. and so he had opened an
Office for the healing of canine diseases.
Business, he told me, was not good at
first, but by permitting faro bank on
the second floor to have a private en-
trance through his Office he managed to
rub along.
''See dat purp?" said he. in his native
language, which l understood quite
well, having frequently visited the
ward in which he was born. Say, he's
de bes' case I ever had"
He looked like one OF the worst. Ap-
parcntly he had been run over by a
scythe chariot such as the early Britons
employed to discourage immigration.
He was shaved in many places, and was
adorned with interesting designs in
court plaster.
''Wllat is he, or, rather, was he,"
asked.
''Well, de most o. him is bull terrier,
should say. Say, he's played in hard
luck; but he's dead game, I'm tellin'
yer. Jes' watch him. Are you onto his
curves?"
l was. The dog evidently brooded
over his injuries and cherished deep re-
sentiment against. the author Of them.
He was sharpening his teeth on an iron
chain and meditating revenge. l did
not intrude upon his meditations.
"'Bout two weeks ago." continued
the meditative gentleman, "a Teddy

MUSIC TO DANISH INSOMNIA.

VIII Induce Slumber.

DR.. Blackman Thinks Hand Music Boz
1 VIII Induce Slumber.
Music rs curative agent has been
known and valued from the earlies,
ages. says the London Telegraph, and
the recently established Guild of St.
Cecilia, whose professed object is to ap-
ply the soothing influence of melody to
patients in hospitals and elsewhere, is
only carrying out the prescriptions of
physicians who fo1rished two thousand
years ago. The Athenian doctors "ban-
ished fever by song" Thales found
music most efficacious in the plague,
and Aulus Gellius even went so far as to
maintain that it produced beneficial
effect in cases of bites and stingS. In
their work on Psychological Medicine"
Drs. Bucfnill and luke remark that
music is the first recorded remedy en-
pioyed for the relief of madness. A
novel, and possibly useful, suggestion
in the same direction is mentioned by
DR.. J. G. Blaclnnan in the Medical
Magazine.
1t is that musical box worked
by an electric motor might be advan-
tageously employed in cases of insomnia.
Some care, no doubt, would have to be
exercised to see that the mechanism
worked properly before it was started,
ss nothing would be more likely to
drive sleep permanently away than
musical box out of tune or liable to I'M
accountable and abnormal spurts of en-
ergy. Tt would also be trying TO a
nervous patient if in the Silly night
the electric currentwere turned off alto
gether and the box became suddenly
silent. 1t is possible that burglar in
ones bedroom might be soothed and
induced to surrender his booty by the
strains of Home, Sweet
Home" but it is also possible that he
might not. One or two interesting
instances are recorded in the article of
the benefit which has resulted in hos
pitfalls from the musical treatment, and
the sieepless soul might do worse than
try the prescription contained 10 it.

OUTLINED.

Behind the wills OF the past
Is . country of sun and shade,
Where the roses bloomed too fast
And the children laughed and played
And thousand Joys were planned.
And . thousand songs were sung:
Oh, that was Q lovely land
Where We lived when We we're youn8i
Behind the walls Of the'past
Is a country OF wild regret
Where the roses died too fast
And the sun in darkness set
Full OF thofns that pierced the hand.
And gifts to the thankless flung:
Oh. that was a bitter land
Where we lived when We were youngl
Yet when we think Of 1t all
OF the passionate grief long spent
The tears that have ceased to fall
The pain that Is deep content:
OF the yearning soothcd apd stilied,
The shadows that passed away
We know that the life God wiled
Is the life we live to-day.
