injury From Bleyele Riding.

One evil traceabe to bicycling is the con
firmed stoop which has already declared
itself in many wheelmen, a result so com
mon in the less strongly built bicyclists of
the continent as to have found its way into
classification as the "kyphosis bicyclista-
rum"
The dOrsal curvature posteriorly, which
used to be rare in boys under IA years of
age, is, now that the bicycle is so largely
used, very frequently met with, particular
ly among those young bicyclists whose
spinal column is developing more rapidly
than the ligaments and muscles, and in
whose case, therefore, the equilibrium be-
tween those parts is more or less disturbed.
Were it%nerely an unsightly deformity,
the stoop in question ought to be combated
in every way, but confirmed dorsal curva-
ture posteriorly has consequences of its own
quite mischievous enough to call for i'm
mediate counteraction. The displacement,
rested or diseased development of these
organs, which kyphosis inevitably induces,
are all too serious to warrant the slightest
neglect in remedying them.
Exercise of a kind to accustom the spinal
column to an action directly antagonistic
to the inclination forward of the bicyclist's
attitude is what is needed The use of the
lndianclubs or such similar means of in
curvatng the spine anteriorly, throwing
out th chest and maintaining the head
erect, hould be practiced with that object.

CHAPTER TX.
THE BAD BOY IN LOVE.


"Are you ChristianY' asked the bad
boy Of the grocery man as that gentle
man was placing vegetables out in front
of the grocery one morning.
"Well, / hope so, answered the gro
Gerry man. 81 try to do what is right
and hope to wear the golden crown when
the time comes to close my books"
"Then how is it that you put out a box
Of great big sweet potatoes, and when we
order some and they come to the table
they are little bits of things, not bigger
than radishl Do you expect TO get to
heaven on such small potatoes when you
use big ones for a signT asked the boy
as he took out n silk handkerchief and
brushed a speck Of dust off his nicely
blacked shoes
The grocery man blushed and said he
did not mean to take any such advan-
tage Of his customers. He said it must
have been mistake Of the boy that de-
livers groceries.
"Then you must hire the boy to make
mistakes, for it has been so every time
we have had sweet potatoes for FIVE
years. said the boy. "And about green
corn. You have a few ears stripped
down to show how nice and plump it is,
and if we order dozen ears there are
only two that have got any corn on at
all, and Pa and Ma gets them, and the
rest of US have to chew cob. Do you
hope to wear crown Of glory on that
kind Of cornT
"Oh, such things will happen" said
the grocery man, with a laugh. But
don't let's talk about heaven. Let's talk
about the other place. How's things
over to your house? And say what's the
matter with you? You are all dressed
up and have got a clean shirt on and
your shoes blacked, and / notice your
pants are not raveled out so at the bot
toms of the legs behind. You are not in
love, are you"
"Well, | should smile" said the boy
as he looked in small mirror on the
counter covered with fly specks IA girl

said she was afraid Pa had took to drink

any firing of guns, and | said no, and
then she put a wet towel on PAS head"
"You ought to be ashamed" said the
grocery man. "How does your Pa like
your being in love with the girlY Does
he seem to encourage you in itT
"Oh, yes, she was up to our house TO
borry some tea, and Pa patted her on
the cheek and hugged her and said she

Theurious statement is published in the
organof the Palestine Exploration fund
on tn authority of DR.. Lorter that the
Dead sea loses every day by evaporation

says bis enormous mass is easily drawn up

on tn globe.
Thi vast basin is remarkable as being

The Modern Tendency Is Toward Cen
trulization of Social Life.


tralization of Social Life.
In the heart of a crowded city, in the hot
month of August, / once met woman
whom had known some 10 years before as
a resident at one Of the most beautiful spots
In what Is perhaps the most beautiful
county Of New England. She told me that
she now lived, all the year round, in big
boarding house on - square. Fourteen
likes Of horse cars" she continued, not
without pride, pass the door, and there
are two large hotels nearly opposite"
Good God, madam" / could not help e3t-
claiming in pity, how you must pine for
the countryP' pine for itl' she answered
in astonishment. "Why, the folks wanted
me TO come up and visit them this surn-
mcr, but couldn't bear to leave the CITY
And forgot to tell YOU" she added. with
the air Of one who cals the climax, there's
a brass band that practices twice week in
the building next door"
When ] heard all this, still pitied the
woman, but for different reason. Her
case, take IT, was a typical one. She was
simply victim to what / shall venture TO
call the national vice Of undue greuarious-
ness. This vice-or habit if the reader
prefers that term-is acharacteristic of the
age 1t begins to attack even the morose
ana healthy nature of John Bull, but obvi-
ously its manifestations are most common
| and most extreme in our own country.
Many proofs Of this statement will at
once occur TO the reader-the railroad cars
in which we travel, the apartments in
which we live, the continual exodus from
| the farm to the village and from the vii
| Iage to the town, the form which our
| amusements take, and, above ALL the i'm
/ mense development of clubs. Almost
every function of modern life is discharged
| through the medium of club. To dine in
a crowd, to be charitable in a crowd, to go
out in a crowd to view the face Of nature,
and, perhaps, greatest absurdity of all, to
read poetry in a crowd-such are the ambi-
| tions of a typical American.
! believe that there are in existence so
cieties Of drunkards not for legitimate
| purposes of conviviality, but with the weak
intention Of reforming in body. There is
certainly club of persons whose bond of
union is desire to free themselves from
the dreadful vice of procrastination, and |
have observed advertisements of "Rest
Glasses" at the seashore for clergymen and
| schoolteachers. There are immense sum
mer towns or camps on Cape Cod where
people are herded together almost as close
ly as the occupants of a tenement house in
the city, and this for pleasure.-H. G. Mer-
| win in Atlantic.

ONE of those disasters that have
visited so many other cities,in the form
of widespread conflagratiOn, paid its
respects to Minneapolis, in few hours
sweeping away two millions of lumber
saw mills, and two hundred houses.
Fully 1900 people were rendered
houseless and homeless. The terror OF
such calamities can only be properly
appreciated by those who are the sub
jects OF them.

STORE ORDERS.

A Boston newspaper reports that
everywhere in that region it finds
mill owners paying their hands in
store checks, which orders for provi-
sions and other necessities serve just
good purpose as currency"
,ppy New England The store order
, ITEM muga 3 vastly better managed
ere than in this region. Happy be-
Ause this system 'keeps the wheels OF
industry moving" and helps to restore
confidence.
Primarily, what is the difference be
tween the store order and the bill ofex-
change? The order is means of en-
larging the field of barter, and that
is precisely what the bill is. But
very small part of international trade
1. carried on with money, and the same
may be said with reference to inter
state trade. The bill rests mainly on
the confidence which men who have
never seen each other, men of different
nations and languages, have in the in
tegrity Of each other, on the confidence
which one feels that the other will be
Just to him.
When barter was the rule there were
no panics. There was not much TO go
into panic about, to be sure, but that
does not materially alter the case
Would there be any panics now II the
svstem Of barter were carried out to the
limit which the larger productions and
wider exchange allows? A? If 1t were
nossible to make an experiment In
time of avsIage prosperity to determine
how much money is actually needed
70 carry on the business of a nation
successfully, the result would astonish
most persons. We cannot eat money
ar wear it. A man in a desert Of
adrift at sea would cast it from him as
useless burden. If we have in super
abundance what we cannot eat and
wear, what is the just occasion TO
fear?
Do not mistake this as an argumen
for store orders. The point OF it j
that the popular notion about tn
amount of money really needed il
business is superstition, and out
superstitions panics of all kinds in al
ages have grown. 1t is safe to sa!
that, as a rule, distresses like the pres
ent have come upon people not wheI
the necessities were scarce, but wheI
they were in overlooking abundance
1t is not money which makes wealth
It is wealth which makes money an
wealth is the product of common sens
directing energy. But it is not com
mon sense to say that in such coun
try as this, with it, present teeminI
fulJuess Of almost everything whicl
ga artrequires, there is good reason Il
I'd see KANT and hunger. It is not NOR
II G, ID. Ahich Is needed, but conhdenc
