the least color you would see 1t fall to
the floor, obscure the figures of the carr

to wonder why people who live In ILL
ventilated houses are almost always
sick, particularly in cold weather, when
doors and windows are shut.
A dull headache, bad taste IN the
mouth, fatigue after exertion, and faii-
ing, capricious appetite, are among the
evidences that bad air has weakened the
system. So far, no clearly marked dis
ease has appeared, but the body is at
the mercy of the first attack, as a
crippled ship is helpless in a storm.

NEW JERSEY LIFE SAVERS.
Work of Brave Men During the Past
Wear.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Is, 1894.-Mr. Kim
ball. the General Superintendent of the
~Life-Saving Service, said yesterday that
the new station on Seven Mile Beach, N.
j., was complete and the equipments
were now being forwarded. The station
will have a crew of seven men.
"The completion of this station" said
Mr.. Kimball, will make forty-one on the
New Jersey coast, the greatest number
flor any shore line of the same dimensions
along the Atlantic coast. Nearly 800
men are employed at these stations, and
they are as skilled, as brave and as con
scientious as any lot of seamen in the
entire service. All the stations are in the
best condition and must he kept up to the.
top notch, owing to the amount of traffic
along the coast. I have never a any
trouble with the New Jersey men either
on account of cowardice or for neglect of
duty.
The New Jersey coast requires men like
those. 1t consists throughout its whole
extent of a narrow strip of sand beach,
varying in width from a quarter of a
mile to five miles. AT a distance of from
one to four hundred yards from the
shore, it is bordered by outlying SAND
bars over which, in Violent storms, inn
mense walals of surf continually form
and break. The shores, exposed to all
the fury of the easterly storms, are
constantly skirted by vessels bound into
and out of the ports of New York, Phila-
delphfa and Wilmington, while the coast

Cyclers, held last night in Hauser Hall,
Hoboken, was, without exception, the
largest affair of the kind ever held by
any bicycle club in Hudson county. The

county, was crowded to the doors. Not
even standing room could be had at

ton and Rosa Baumann, in songs and
high kicking; Williams and Hughes, com-
edians; Fred Ward, parody singer; Eu-
reka Mandolin Quartette; William (Billy)
Williams, plantation songs, and the LAT
ayette Musical Clubs string band. There
was also a three-round go between Joe
Tinelli of Hoboken and Zeno of New
York.
The drawing for the $3.50 bicycle was
won by No. 95. The holder of the tickle
is a Mr.. Henry Helms of No. 109 East
Fourteenth street, New York. Mr.. Helms
was not present.
Among the many cycling clubs repre-
sented last night were the Montclair

the Hudson County Wheelmen, with IS;
Hamilton W~heelmen, Hillside Wheelmen,
New York University Wheelmen, Metro
