That teardrop that fell in the glass.
Captain Jack Crawford.
THE BICYCLE AND THE DRINKING HABIT.
'If the wheel never does any other good
thing In its history, and II no other benefit
comes from its use, II would for one special
reason deserve the commentator and In
dorsement OF every thinking person IN cre-
alton" said an eminent physician who has
made the bicycle and its use the study OF
years. "My attention was first called TO
one phase OF the wheel by the experience OF
young man who had been for some time a
patient of mine. He had been in the habit
OF taking glass Of liquor occasionally, and
l had warned him against allowing the
habit to grow, but whatever l said seemed
to make very little impression on his mind.
Finally l advised him 10 buya wheel. IhRd
an object In view, but gave him no hint of
1t. He learned to ride one, and one day
asked him to 20 out with me for Il little run
in the country. When we got near one of
the hotels in the suburbs he proposed u
drink, and l assented. l took mineral water.
and he indulged in what he called Il good,
stiff drink to brace his nerves.
~ said nothing, but made up my mind to
keep my eye on him rather sharply. We
rode for a mile or two. and although he
complained OF feeling somewhat rocky. he
got on tolerably well until we came to an-
other tavern. He said he was all out of gear
and the same order was repeated. Half an
hour later, while riding along a level road,
l observed that his wheel had taken on some
eccentric motions, and was going almost
anyway but the one he desired. He became
angry and fractious, and ended up by run
ming into stump by the roadside, and get
ting a bad fall. His injuries were so serious
that he had to be taken home In a carriage,
and was kept indoors for some time.
"When he got out again he came over to
see me, and the conversation turned on tho
best way to become au expert whoelman.
1t was not little gratifying to me to have
him, of his own accord. make the remark
that as long as he rode wheel he should
never take liquor at wayslde hotels. People
who have given some attention to the sub
iect say that there is far less intoxicating
drink taken by young men after they begin
to ride the wheel. They find that II is not
conducive to clearness of head or steadiness
of hand. They cannot go out In hilarious
crowds and overindulge with any comfort
to themselves while wheeling. There is too
much risk of life and limb about 1t. The
bicycle and the grog shop are not good
friends, and as 1 have said before, II the
wheel never does anything else, II is worthy
OF all praise because 1t is a check on the
drinking habit"
