CYCLING FOR WOMEN.

A medical writer In the Nineteenth
Century, whose interesting article In re-
produced In the current Littell's Living
Age, furnishes medical view of cycling
for women that is distinctly satisfactory
TO those of us who believe that what
man has done woman can do.
The medical profession, neither by
precept nor example can claim much in
fiuence in the development of cycling
among women, but it is to be credited
with Offering few discouragements to the
sport as INDUCED in by women when its
advice has bcen asked. On the con-
trary, its opinions have usually been OF
at least non-committal nature, il not
always distinctly encouraging.
DIR. FENToN, the author OF the article
referred to, gives us something strong,
aggressive and uncompromising Ia favor
Of cycling for women. "Let II at once
be sald," he writes, "an organically
sound woman can cycle with rs much
impunity as man. Sex has nothing
to do with 1t, beyond the adaptation OF
machine TO dress and dress to machine" I"
Verify, the tide OF public opinion has
come around to accept the truth that
physical exercise has for women all the
advantages and no more OF the dangers
than 1t has for men. IL man 10 all the
better for all tho exercise he can take
with proper precaulion, sc Is woman. II
cycling Is an ideal pastimo or exercise
for man, IL Is none the less 90 for woman
with the bicycle at its present state OF
high development. As DIR. FENToN
points ont: "The amount OF muscular
and organic effort to be put forth can be
regulated exactly to be always within the
powers Of the individual" Muscular
powers and endurance differ IN women as
in men. Women may overdo the exer-
ciso and accidents will happen a.wheel.
But men are not exempt, either. Tho use
or abuse OF the wheel bears no relation to
the sex OF the rider.

The following are extracts from some
letters that have been written home by
a,.young Englishman In Buiawayo, and
have been published In the Independent
and Nonconformist;
"lt is grand fun popping niggers OF
and seeing them fall like nfnepins.
There have been two or three caught in
the town. lately and shot as spies. Crowds
60 to see it. They are stood ten yards
of the firing party, who all blaze at
them at once. 1t 10 quite q nice sight.
One gets cailous and hardened, and does
not object to seeing II.
"Seyeral patrols have been out for a
few hours and come back, having killed
a hundred or two natives. Yesterday
morning was the best. Two hundred
and fifty of our people went out. They
killed over 200 in two hours lighting.
"There are heaps of troops on the way
up. Then the natives will have warm
time OF 1t. They will nearly all get
wiped out That IL the only way to
settle II now. They were never conquer
ed In the old war, but now they will be.
Surrender Is useless. We could never
trust them again. Now the idea Is to kill
the greater portion of every impi. and
thus. teach them a very bitter lesson.
Yesterday three natives were hung
for being spies. They were marched out
OF town about half mile. Ropes were
tied TO branches OF a tree. They were
made to climb.up, the rope was tied TO
their necks and they were made TO jump
off the tree and drop. One would not
for some time; he would talk to Mr..
Coienbrander, who asked him at last !:
Can you see Bulawayo?' The niger
said: Yes So Mr.. Colen brancer said :
Have good look at it, for you will
never see. 1t again. So he did,; then
said, 'Good-by, Mr.. Colenbrander,' and
jumped off. The check OF the sweep
amazed me. They are still hanging as
warning to spies and natives"
A young tradesman of Bulawayo writes
to the Daily Graphic:
"My stand has one big tree on IL. and
Is often used as a gallows. Yesterday
there was goodly crop OF seven Mata-
belle nging there; today there are eight
the eighth being niger who was heard
boosting To companion that he had
helped to kill white men, and got back
TO town without being suspected"
What with allowing a crew OF gamblers
in South Africa TO hang natives, and
allowing Egyptian regiments In North
Africa TO divide among themselves the
captured women as the oils OF war,
we certeinly are introducing Christianity
and civil zation into the Dark Conti-
nent In a somew hat remarka BILE manner.
Between 1t and the Turkish system OF
civllizi ing :the Armenians 1 fail to por-
ceive any difference. London Truth.

of meetings in all the larger cities in the
country carry on the work on On extern

Admiral Montagu's Sarcasms ON the
Niagara's Water Tank Fuss.


The Niagara's water tanks, or, to speak
more correctly, her speed, seem to worry
English yachtsmen not a little, and the
British yachting papers are full of letters
on the subject. The Field OF June i3 has
letter from Admiral Victor Montagu,
one OF the foremost members OF the
Royal Yacht Squadron, in which he says |:
"There must be others besides myself
who have read with amszement the re-
port that the Y. X. A. thought IL neces-
sary to send representatives post haste
to board the Niagara to learn something
as to her water tanks. They even did
not wait to see the ownor of the Niagara,
but surveyed the vessel in his absence.
This reads very serious. -Rew-hear
that these tanks were only intended to
support the crew, but that the officials
deputied to go cn board thought 1t neces-
sary to order the said water tanks to
have certain pipe disconnected that
could he usedeto run water from one tank
to another. i do not think this Is a
satisfactory ending to arrive at. Either
the tanks should not be where they are
placed, as tending TO cast suspicion as to
their being used for peculiar purposes, or
else the pipe should ne left for the pur-
pose 1t ID supposed to meet-namely, TO
run stream of fresh water from one tank
to the other as they are filled. Severing
some metal connection Is OF no use; any
piping other than metal would have the
desired effect. 1t seems to be 'straining
at gnat in order to swallow a camel,
and think it would have been far better
to have lett the connection as il was and
accepted the word of honor than TO order
the severing of O metal connection which
could be reinstated by any other mode to
answer the purpose equally well. The
Americans seem to build fast boats; the
Defender was fast boat; the Niagara Is
another. Why don't our designers take
the hint and place our water tanks in the
bilges; and as regards the Defender,
whether she carried water tanks IN ex-
cess of what the requirements of the crew
demanded or not, she had the peculiar
fgift which none Of our boats have) OF
being able to practice o teal delusion on
thirty-two pair of eyes with a vengeance.
Perhaps American crews suffer more from
thirst than English crews, and tanks
have to be carried in extra proportions.
Empty tanks must be deal OF useless
weight. / do not think il i built 20
rater to race in English waters, should
care TO carry empty copper tanks, espec-
tally when / find my crew landing feather
pillows, nail and tooth brushes, ETC., the
morning OF a race The proverbia jar OF
beer and a couple OF breakers would have
to do for my 20-rater, when racing, and
II l were owner OF Niagara tomorrow out
would come my copper tanks and in
would go two or three cloths to my top
sail.'

The Fourth OF July committee OF tho
City Council is entitled to public COM
mendation and congratuIation for the
adequate, proper, and in every way ad-
mireble program that II has prepared for
the patriotic celebration OF the Fourth
OF July. tomorrow.
Nothing that could be reasonably
asked for could contribute TO make the
arragements for the days festivities any
finer than they are. There Is variety and
significance enough TO satisfy alike the
lovers OF holiday entertainment and the
soulful patriot. Bells viii be ruug, can
non will be fired, bands will play, and
the public flags will fy. There will be
military, civic and trades display in the
music en- Dexter Training ground in the
afternoon and fine exhibition OF
aquatics on tho SeeKonk. In tine evening
there will be parade OF bicycles that
promises to exceed for novel beauty any
show ever given In the town.
The Declaration OF Independence has
not been forgotten. In recent years 1t
has not infrequently been overlooked, but
this year the committee have the backing
OF the Sons of the American Revolution
to secure its memory. There will be
patriotic exercises in the Ground Top
Church, beginning at high noon, when
an Grafton W orth listening to VIII be de-
livered and the Declaration OF lndepend
ence viii be read--and that will be worth
listening to, because II is "a good thing
for every American to hear and Wen be
bound, it will be a good thing to hear
Professor ALoNzo WILLIAMS read it.

PROVIDENCE POETRY.
IP NOT--WHY NOT2

What good 10 thy money,
Why eager for wealth,
Why hoard up thy gold
Aud harden thy soul?
oh miserable being, so
Hard and SO cold, TO the
Necessities OF others who live,
Only live, when you have
So much, that to give
From your abundant store
OF wealth, one dollar perhaps
Might give some one health.
Look around your own home;
No need ever to roam to
Find misery, want and strife,
IT'S in your everyday life that
Ycu meet some poor creature
Without any home. Yet,
Out from your little State
Missionaries are sent, for what?
TO feed, and to clothe, perhaps,
The soul OF Hottentot.
TO teach him TO pray to God,
To teach him of what he knows not.
Why not feed creatures here at home
Before TO foreign countries roam? For
III God wants the soul of Hottentot,
He will save 1t, Pm sure.
III not, why not? "MILENIA." !"
