Physical Complaints Which the Present
Style Infict Upon Riders.
A well-known physician, who has
given some attention to the bicycle and
has learned how to ride one, although
not yet a regular rider, says, accord
ing to the New York Tribune: II don't

to get a correct saddle. To get that
I believe shall have to invent one, and
7 am seriously thinking of setting
about it as soon as l get the time. This
is q matter to which have been COM
PEELED to pay attention, because many
Of my patients are bicycle riders. The
wonder in my mind is that more injury
As not caused by the use of improper
saddles. Most saddles are constructed
on radically wrong principle and
throw the weight of the body just
where it ought not to be. There is
one saddle quite widely used for which
the claim is made that it is constructed
on correct physiological principles, but
that is true to only q limited extent.
Still, it is start in the right direction.
A bicycle saddle should be cut out in
the middle and provision should be
made for the weight to rest on the
sides. I am not sure but that some
contrivance whereby the two sides OF
the saddle might move up and down
with the morton of the legs will not
prove to be the correct solution OF the
problem"

WILD HOGS in ARIZONA.

Running st Large They Become Perfect
ly Untamable.
The widest of wild hogs live both
above and below the Yuma, on the
Colorado river, says the Montana
Farmer. When the late Thomas Blythe
was trying to settle q colony at Lerdo,
As miles below Yuma, on the Colorado,
he sent down large number Of very
fine full-blooded Berkshire and Poland
China pigs and turned them loose on
the banks Of the river near Lerdo,
where they lived on roots, grass, weeds,
tules and mesquite beans, bred and
multiplied, kept fat and filled the low
and tule lands with a large number of
fine porkers.
Never seeing human being, except
now and then lone Indian, they soon
became wild, and wilder still, and scat
tered until the woods and lowlands
were full of them. Notwithstanding
that the coyotes slaughtered the little
ones in great numbers, they have in
creased until at the present time It Is
estimated that there are more than TO-
600 Of them roaming up and down the
Colorado and Hardie rivers, from their
mouths up as high as the tide runs, or
from 65 to rs miles from the gulf.
Their range gives them the finest Of
feed-wild sweet potatoes. tules, stay
fish, CLAIMS, dead turtles and seaweed
along the river bank at low tide. They
are unmolested except now and then
by hunter who finds his way down
the river.

LoNe-DIsTANcE TELEPHONE.

Instances In Which 1t Has Given Pleasure
to Message Senders.
A good many stories are told of the
strange uses of the long-distance tele-
phone. The day the line was opened
to Merrill, Wis, a Chicago man, lolnt-
ing in the northern woods, came into
town and learned of the innovation,
says the Tacoma Ledger. He went
into one of the ''sound-proof'' booths
and had himself put in communication
with his family. AS they had a tele-
phone in the house, the task was a
small one. He chatted with his wife,
told her fish story at which she might
smile without embarrassing him, since
he could not see the sign of incredul-
ity; talked with his boy and girl, and
then called for "Gyp."
"Gyp" was a setter, great family
pet, which had been left behind be-
cause of an accident which rendered 1t
lame. "Gyp" was called to the tele-
phone, and he stood on a chair, his
forefeet on the back, and his mistress
held the transmitter to his ear.
Hello, 'Gyp!'" called the master
from Merrill. And the dog in Chicago
pricked up his ears and whined. The
master whistled cheerily, and the set
ter barked directly into the receiver.
He knew his masters voice, and the
whistle as well; and the master cheered
him by ready laughter at the prompt
and eager reply.
It was worth the $2.40 it cost.

VERY GLAD OF IT.

Pardonable Satisfaction Of an Ohcer Over
Womsn's MisfOr|une.
A good story of a military officer Is
told in the New York Times. It ap-
pears that in the crush at the diplo-
matte reception at the white house he
was pushed violently against formid-
able looking woman. She glared at
him for an instant, and then said, in q
menacing way: "Be good enough to
give me more room"
Pardon me. madam. but i cannot" "
answered the officer.
Whereupon the lady detached a long
pin from her bodice and plunged it in
to the urn of the man. He braced
himsek and did not vince; and she
drove it in again. After repeated At
tacls she remarked:
II don't believe you can help it, after
all, or you wouldn't allow yourself to
BE- pricked in this way"
II told you, believe, that I couldn't
help myself" answered the officer.
Later in the evening. when the officer
was in the east room, the Same lady
made her way through the crowd and
spoke to her enemy:
ut was diamond pin, and have
lost it."
The officer bowed very low and said:
"Allow me to say, madam. that ] am
very glad Of it."

Interesting Gossip About the SULTAN
Younger Brother.

Interesting Gossip About the sultan's
Younger Brother.
Mr.. Richard Davey, perhaps the
ablestand dbest-informedc correspondent
in Constantinople, writes the follow
ing interesting royal gossip to the
Westminster Gazette:
Sultan Abd-ul-Hamid II. has four
living brothers. These princes are the
deposed and insane Sultan Murad w.,
who is his majesty's senior by four
years; Reched Effendi, the heir-appar-
ent, and two much younger brothers,
War-ei-3in Effendi and Suleiman Eff
fendi. Prince Selim-or, as the Turks
say, Selim Sultan-is the present sui
tan's eldest son, but he stands no
chance of succeeding to the throne un-
til his uncles and the three sons of his
eldest uncle, Murad ", are dead. be-
cause the succession in the Ottoman
imperial family passes to the eldest
survivor, and not from father to son,
as with other European and eastern
dynasties.
In former times matters were con-
siderably simplified bya general massa-
ere, on the accession of sultan, of all
the males who stood in the way of his
direct issue. When you visit the Tubeh,
or tombs of the imperial family, which
surround the seven imperial mosques,
you may observe that certain of the
collins of them of mere infants
have the turbans affixed to their
heads lightly inclined to the left. This
means that the body beneath, is that
of a prince who died violent death
was murdered.

roo FAT TO SINK.


"A Woman Who Found One Method sf
suicide 1mpracticable.
At AIMS Mills, little hamlet near
MELVILLE, Pa, lives Alexander Geese, .
well-known farmer and respected citi-
zen. His wife, Sarah Jane Geese, has
q reputation as being one OF the
heaviest women, II not the heaviest, In
the county. OF recent years, says tho
Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette, her
weight has been steadily increasing,
until now she weighs over 300 pounds.
She and her husband have 10 children
and their domestic life has been happy
but her sze has evidently preyed upon
her mind, making her despondent. One
morning recently she left her home and
proceeded to the banks Of the Como
doguinet creek, q stream about 100 feet
in width, which runs near her home.
She took her position on Gallows bridge
and jumped into the deep stream,
swollen and muddy from the recent
rains, proposing to end her troubles.
She had neglected to consider SUBJ
ject which has an important bearing on
a project such as hers-that of specific
gravity. She was too fat, and despite
her most desperate efforts her body
would not sink, and although she tried
to hold her head under long enough to
drown herself, she did not succeed. Her
heavy body turned over and over, and
finally righting itself, floated peaceful
ly down the stream, with the head on
top. By this time the woman was near
1v frozoy and mazda M further offOrfa
to end her life. For three hours her
body floated calmly on the stream, un-
observed, gradually floating downward
with the current. She was finally dis
covered and rescued.
