About Money.

The earliest record of a real estate
deal ia III the Old Testament. where
it is said Abraham bought the field
of Ephron for four hundred shekels
OF silver. Coined money was not in
use. for we read that Abraham
weighed unto Ephron the price.
Silver and gold in those days were
in the form of ingOts or bricks. and
the amount needed was cut off and
weighed. Since that day man has
made a considerable advance, and
now has gold and silver coins OF
various names, as: Dimes, quarters.
dollars, eagles, double eagles, marks,
kreutzers, forms, ducats, Argentines

What Woman Physician Thinks
About the Bicycle.

Certainly bicycling cannot injure
any healthy young woman so long
as she does not Gover-exert herself.
Indeed, any sport which will keep
young women out OF doors. and give
them healthful exercise so that circu-
lation ia stimulated. is, something
which should he favored by every
one. As soon as q young woman
has learned to balance herself and to
work the pedals without any more
thought than she would give to
moving her feet in walking, she can
then cover long distances without
the slightest injury resulting from
exertiOn.
The bicycle is certainly a great
boon to young women who cannot
have horses and carriages, for here is
steed which they can purchase at
small price, and keep at a small cost.
1t has been a source of new vigor to
the typewriter and stenographer,
and it has given new strength TO
Tire SCHOOLGIRL, and fresh courage to
the school-teacher. If there is any
injury at all to health in bicycling,
it is that single danger which is,
common to all forms of exercise,
namely, unframed over-exertion.
This seems to be the trouble attend
ant upon the playing OF tennis by
young women. For men, any form
of exercise, as a rule, does not in
volve any extra exertion; for men
are usually accustomed to constant
muscular endeavOr, and are, there
fore, not so likely to overstrain in
the same proportion as women.
Two-thirds of our young women,
in the matter of muscular endeavor,
fall tar short of what muscular
development should be. The cause
of this is undoubtedly the nom
adaptability of wOman's dress to
any great muscular exertion.
In the matter Of the hygiene of BIZ
cycle riding there ia one item in
which women have the advantage
of men; for women, as. a rule, take
the proper position when riding,
that is, an upright and natural one.
while the men lean over In a most
unnatural position, which results in
almost permanently round shoal-
