IT should be stimulus to bright
Young men with desire for sea-
faring life to learn that there are
more vacancies in the navy awaiting
the graduating class of the Naval
Academy than can be filed by it's
thlrty-nine members. With the rise
of the new navy, the opportunities
for advancing must, in the nature of
things, be constantly increasing.
Here is an inviting field for youths
of adventurous spirit and lively
patriotism.

WHY THERE ARE ACCIDENTS.
Bicycle Riders Travel Too Fast for the
fetx, of Them selves aud Others.

Bicycle Riders Travel Too Fast for the
Safety of Themselves and Others.
| The alarming increase of accidents to
| bicycle riders this season has been a
subject of considerable comment, says
the Boston Transcript. Last year and
| the wear before there were accidents to
riders and to those with whom they
| happened to collide, while riding at a
rapid pace through the streets, but this
season one can hardly glance over she
columns of a newspaper without read
ing accounts of several of these mishapS.
It almost seems that the wheelmen had
entered in a compact to lnjure them
selves and others as often as an oppOr-
tunity presented itself. The reasons
for the increase in the bicycle accident
list are in the first place that there
are more wheels than ever before,
and in the second place, that the alleged
improvements in construction tend
to accidents. They. new style wheels,
with their pneumatic tires, are without
brakes, SO that the rider cannot stop as
readily as formerly when he sees that
he is approaching danger. The con-
struction of the tire is such that, were it
supplied with brake, the sudden and
determined use of that article would
burst the tire, allowing the air to escape.
The new style wheels run over the pave
ments SO much more easily than the old
style ones that when vigorous young
man gets astride of one of them he is
seized with desire to go like a race
horse, and he does. The combination
of swift riding and no brakes is respon-
sible for probably SO per cent. of the
accidents to the wheelmen and the
mortals who happen to get in their way.
1t might not be a bad idea to regulate
their speed by law, especially through
the crowded parts of the streets.

They wrap bandages around the red
caps. It isn't for decorative pur-
poses, for the bandages are usually
much soiled. Their ways are beyond
finding out. The only reason they
give is that in Constantinople it is
considered the proper thing. The
Persian fez usually has no tassel on
top and is just as large at the top as
at the bottom, like a short piece of
stovepipe. The Cingalese don't ask
for large hat, but they insist on
having floral designs along the edges.
The Japanese have discarded the

Military head wear needs a chapter
to itself. The men in the German
cavalry band wear white helmets,
each with silvered eagle spreading
it's wings from the top. The infan-
try musicians have black helmets
and gold ornaments. United States
marines wear the old-fashioned sol
dier caps. On board the battleship
the officers wear the tidy blue cap
with short peak and a golden eagle
on the front. Customs inspectors
wear another kind. Columbian
guards, launch captains, guides and
newsboys all affect brass buttons and
official caps with more or less braid
and gold lettering. President Higin-
botham, however, manages to get
along with plain 81 derby. -Chicago

The Royal Washup.

Among Queen Victoria's chief enjoy
ments at Osborne is the sea bathing,
which is arranged for the royal family
in a peculiarly safe and convenient
manner. Passengers by the steamers
between Portsmouth and Southamp-
ton seldom fail to notice an abnormally
large barge moored at the end of the
jetty which protudes into the Solent
from the private grounds at Osborne.
This remarkable vessel is SO arranged
that when desired the water rushes
into it and forms a spacious bath, which
is as comfortable as it is safe.

dred armed marauders rode into the
town where he was holding court,
and demanded, with threats and VIC
lence, the release of ten white-caps
under Indictment. The plucky judge,
although deserted by most of the
court officials, left the bench, and,
facing the mob bristling with shot
guns and muskets, denounced them
as criminals; then, finding them per-
sistent in their purpose, broke
through their ranks, made his way
to the court house, rang the bell,
summoned posse Of citizens, and
compelled the attacking party to re-
tire. Ii is not often that judges are
called upon to vindicate in this virile
fashion the majesty Of the law. but
it is to be hoped that whenever such
emergencies arise they may be met
in the courageous spirit manifested
by this Mississippi judge.

THE value which men place On

S., 500, 900, 600 is placed in the United

SOME of the homeopathists who

SOME Of the homeOpathists who as
sembled recently in Worlds Fair
Congress in Chicago were decidedly
aggressive. One claimed that the
maximum proportionate death rate
among patients treated by members
of his school is never SO high as the
minimum death rate among patients
subjected to treatment by the "regu-
lars" and he cited figures to prove
this, leaning most confidently on sta
tistics compiled many years ago. An
other made the broad assertion that
medical science was not a science
until Hahnemann founded the school
of homeopathy and characterized as
harmful ones some Of the more inn
portant discoveries made by investi
gators belonging to the old school.
All this is very pretty" and may
have been deemed cogent by the
audiences to which the remarks were
addressed, but if SO that does not
prove it was wise or prudent to make
them. The logical result will be
similar attacks upon homeopathic
faith, practice and practitioners when
the brethren of the older school come
together: and if this be not the result
the event will show the latter to be
the wiser Of the two, in this respect.
No good end is to be gained by such
attacks in gatherings intended to de-
velop the best lines of thought on the
subjects treated and to furnish bet
ter means than before of becoming
acquainted with the most valua BILE
features in the different lines of study
as presented by persons distinguished
in each So far as the different
schools of medicine are concerned
verbal fighting between them is less
likely to gain converts to either than
to induce a feeling akin to that eX-
pressed by Mercutio when he said,
"A plague on both your houses" The
comparison of alleged statistics
proves little or nothing unless it be
first of all settled as to the number
Pc hundred who being sick would
get we'll without any medication
whatever. Doubtless some adheren, S
/ OF each medical faith think there are
noEe such, but if so it is because Of
| dense ignorance, not knowledge.

SOMETHING more than a mere
obituary line is due in announcing
the death of Dictator, the greatest
sire of fast trotting horses that the
world has produced. He died at
Ashland, KY, May q, at the age of
30 years. He had been unable to eat
any but ground food for the last five
years. He was nursed with the
greatest care by his owner, Henry
Clay Mcdowell, the well-knoWn
breeder OF horses of the Kentucky
strains. Dictator was a full brother
of Dexter, splendid brown horse
with white legs. who was the first to
beat in 2:174 Flora Temples time OF
2:19. He was the father of the Ra-
cine horse, Jay-Eye-See, with the
wonderful double record Of trotting
in 2:10 and pacing in 2064. He was
the sire Of Nancy Lee, the dam Of
Nancy Hanks, whose record of 2:O4
with pneumatic tired sulky sur
prised the world, and which Robert
Bonner disputed as not fair record.
He was of Hambletonian stock and
patriarch whose blood courses in the
veins of more than eighty horses with
records of from 2:3O to 2:04, that of
Nancy Hanks, the latest and best Of
his line.

Unfortunately the preacher, who
came from the north of Ireland, had
a slight touch of Doric in his speech,
and pronounced the first clause OF his
text as follows: "For moi people is
foolish"
On reaching home the old lady
asked the chairman how he had Ell.

SOMETHING ought to be done to put
stop to the publica ton of unauthor-
lied and unwarranted rumors affect
ing the credit of business houses and
individuals. Scarcely day passes
that some idle rumor does not find
its way into circulation which does
cruel wrong to perfectly solvent con-
Germs and seriously disturbs business
confidence. In one case recently a
news agency sent out statement
that one Of the oldest and largest
firms on Wall street had announced
its suspension, The house had large
connections, and in the feverish con-
dition of the stock market the report
had an instantaneous and mischiev-
Gus effect. Inquiries were at once
instituted, and it was discovered that
the rumor was absolutely without
foundation, and had evidently been
given currency in a spirit of reckless
ness calling for the very severest con-
demnation. The injured firm, very
properly, after running the rumor to
it's source, determined to make an ex-
ample of the persons who set it afoat.
1t is to be hoped that this course may
be pursued in all similar cases, to the
end that the manufacturers of ru-
mors of this sort may find the bust
ness too dangerous to be prosecuted
hereafter.

EVERY new advance in the scien-

velop some corresponding drawback

surgeons lately held in Paris, Prof
Lannois declares that people whose
ears are not perfectly sound should
avoid listening at the telephone, as
it produces headache, vertigo, hyper
esthesia, insomnia and sometimes
mental disturbances. He counsels a

from the record made by the Bedou-

The metal was not uniform in hardness
and the train robbers saw encountered
a place in the bar which seemed to
effectually resist the encroaching saw
teeth. In his impotence at the want
of progress he was making, Mr.. Hedg-
peth forgot himself and swore. Not a
muttered, incoherent oath, but an oath
vehement and sonorous, which fully ex-
pressed the Indignation felt by Hedg-
peth against The manufacturers of that
particular steel bar. A sleepy guard
was aroused by language go unbecoming

ing, and thus the escape was frustrated.
The moral of this incident is that if
Mr.. Hedgpeth had been Christian
train robber, he might have succeeded
in effecting an escape, thereby affording
employment to detectives, and also in
furnishing job to workmen whose SER
vices would have been called to repair

SCIENCE SETTINGS.

AMBER, often classed among gems, is
fossil product. Most of the speci-
mems inclosing insects are manufac-
tured from gum copal.
A SCIENTIST claims to have discovered
that the eye of man is luminous to the
extent that one can, in total darkness,
see the movement of his arm by the
light of his own eyes.
A METEOROLOGICAL station has just
been successfully established on the
Misti, the volcano of Arequipa, in
Peru, at an elevation of nineteen thou
sand feet above the level of the Pacific.
AT the north pole there is only one
direction-south. East and west have
vanished. The hour of the day at the
pole is a paradoxical conception, for
that point is the meeting-place of
every meridian, and the time of all
holds good, SO that it is any hour one
cares to mention.-San Francisco Ar
