| DO you notice the way they do things
over in France as compared with the same
thing in this country? A few months
ago an anarchist killed the President OF
the French republic. The other day after
| brief but fair trial the culprit was taken
out and put TO death by chopping off his
head which fell into the basket with
the accompanying dull, sickening thud.
There was 10 sentiment wasted, no gar
lands OF flowers, no petition to the Cover
nor for commutation of sentence.
The Biblical law was carried OUT "An eye
for an eye and tooth for a tooth" The
vast machinery OF the law moves so
slowly in this country that many times the
cogs OF the wheels become clogged and
fail to work. 0) the crime, CD the trial,
(3) the conviction, (4) the penalty in
quick succession, marks the manner of
melting out foreign justice which might
be emulated with profit by this country.
A New York physician, behind the
screen OF non de plume, takes the women,
young and old, to task for presuming to
ride bicycle. He tells the fair and not
so fair adherents of the wheel that they
would better remain in the seclusicn OF the
home sphere rather than make exhibitions
of themselves on the public thoroughfare
immodestly, as he styles IL, propeling the
modern device for promoting causes for
subsequent illhealth. This writer, in a I
column article, pointed out the reasons
why ladies should not ride bicycle. The |
probabilities are that nine ladies out of |
every ten who read the article said to |
themselves, IL not to others: "The saucy
old thing; he probably never rode |
bicycle, and IL he did he never knew how
exAilsFatiag- it was; what a healthful
glow tgave to the cheeks; how it devel-
oped muscle and gave one the privilege
OF being envied by those who have
not the liking for the kind OF sport which
is only obtainable by biking." In the
article referred to the doctor advanced
the opinion that the riding OF bicycles by
ladies was equivalent to continual going
up flight OF stairs, and as that generally
proved injurious, so also did the propel-
ling OF the wheel.
The Salvation Army.
There was time, not so very long ago.
either, when the Salvation Army was
,coffed at by all classes of people
outside the strictly religious world.
They were hooted and in some instances
stoned, and their manner of conducting
md attracting attention to their meetings
vas severely criticised. Within the last
week the Salvationists laid the corner
tone to a prospective $780, building.
