SO GOES THE WORLD.

laugh and the world laughs with you;
Weep, and you weep alone,
For this brave old earth must borrow it's
mirth,
It has trouble enough of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh! It is lost on the air. III
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from a voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve and they turn and go
They want full measure Of all your pleasure,
But they do not want your woe.
BE glad. and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all;
There are none to decline your nectared
. . wine.
But alone you must drink life's gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by;
Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For long and lordly train;
But one by one we must all file on ~.
Through the narrow aisles Of pain.

In Favor Of tn, Bicycle

Comparisons based on the length of
the stride in walking and the portion
OF the circumference of the wheel re-
volved by one stroke OF the pedal are
not very reliable. az they vary with
almost every make Of machine.
The shortest way of arriving at the
approximate truth is to compare the
amount of work actually accom-
plished in given time by each meth
cd of progression.
This has been pretty accurately
done, and it was found that while a
smart walker IN good training can
walk five miles in an hour up and
down hill. Abe same man on a bicycle
can cover fifteen miles in the same
time without mourning more fatigue.
OF coarse. the same man doing his
best at both exercises can only exert
given amount OF force in the given
time. The only difference is in the
application of the force and that is
here as about three to one in favor OF
the bicycle. Pearson Monthly.

BY planting a flowing mustache upon

woman, is continuing his experiments
in that direction. The doctors lat
est achievement, performed few days
ago, with every evidence OF success, is
that OF supplying a bald-headed man
with covering OF hair that q football

whom this operation was performed
is Charles Mueller, OF Washington,

material was drawn to, cover the

from the head of Gertiesu piece of
scalp one and g. quarter inches wide

well covered with ! hair, and
replanted it upon the head
Of Mueller. This operation
took place on Saturday, and the
Philadelphia Record says there is
every evidence Of the transplanted
piece OF scalp with hair attachment
growing. The soreness created by the
removal OF a portion, of Gertiesu's
scalp is almost healed, the doctor
having SO skillfully drawn the LAGER

move all evidence of it's removal with
the exception of two small spaces,
which he purposely left open with the
view Of further experiments. He will
cover those spots with hair-covered
skin taken from some animal, and up
on the successful attachment of that
