in II hours and 35 minutes. This was
lone entirely for her own qualification
and pleasure, yet Mrs. Rhinehart made
a complete registration of her arrivals
and departures. If her feat were to be
questioned she could produce the neces-
sary affidavits. Mrs. Rhinehart's rec
ord is one that is not equaled by many
male bicyclists, and probably by no
lady rider in the country. She rides
purely for pleasure. She has never
cared to break any record and has re-
fused to enter contests. She is an easy,
graceful rider, averaging thirteen miles
an hour, coming out fresh and untired
at the end Of trips that few could en-
dure. Her fastest riding is always
done ear the finish. When she began
riding Mrs. Rhinehart was an invalid.
She is now the picture Of health. Mrs.
Rhinehart was the only woman given
a place in the recent relay race from
San Francisco to New York. She car
ried the message from Red Butte to Tie
Siding, Wyo, nine miles in 81 minutes.

w. S. Stratton, the many-millioned
mine owner of Cripple Creek, is learn
ing that there are compensatory dis
advantages attached to the possession
of great wealth. Only four or five years
ago Stratton was a carpenter who was
glad to be able to earn a few dollars
a day in the sweat of his cold chisel.
Now he is estimated to be worth at
least $4,000, 900 in discovered and an
almost infinite amount in covered
riches. He will not permit more than
$1OO,OO a month to be taken from his
Independence mine, because he cannot
find desirable investments for more
than that sum. But he is not happy.
"A generous, good-natured man, his gen.
crosby and good nature are continually
being imposed upon, and attempts to
blackmail are constantly made against
him. Almost every day his life is
threatened. Meanwhile, he cannot eat
or drink more than he could when he
was poor, nor wear more than one suit
Of clothes at one time.

Still more interesting than the voyag

Still more interesting than the voyage
made by the two Swedish sailors in a
rowboat from New York to Havre,
though that was a signal exploit of fool

Capt. Joshua Stocumbe, Of Boston. He
is reported to have navigated the
schooner Alameda Spray from Boston
to Apia, Samoa. with no help whatever.
The story sounds improbable, but If it
Is true Capt. Stocumbc must be n Of
the bravest men and biggest fools Of
the present generation. 1t is difficult
and dangerous for q ship with her full
complement of e to round the Horn,
and even such a ship encounters perils
innumerable in the course from Val

by the Alameda. But a schooner with
one sailor making that journey must be
as buoyant as the Flying Dutchman.

The Rev. Julius Feicke, late Of Jer-
sey City, later of Hoboken, and now Of
'the outskirts of Philadelphia" does
not blur his motives by any false pre-
lenses, and frankly avows that when he
puts his hand to the plow he is ready
to turn back at any time when he is
convinced it would be more profitable.
Although Mr. Feicke is engaged now
in leading a little flock near the City
of Brotherly Love, he will be remem-
bered more particularly for having
turned a former little flock in Jersey
City over to another leader about a
year ago in order to open a saloon in
Hoboken. Mr.. Feicke explained his
action at that time by the statement
that he had assumed the responsibility
Of supporting his family, which fact the
people who regulated the size Of his
salary did not appear to appreciate,
and that the saloon business, especially
in Hoboken, seemed to offer the most
hopeful prospect Of satisfying his am
bition to obtain a living return for his
labor. 1t may be regarded perhaps as
- NA'Sih$S lump IL "a VI ~
ligion that Mr.. Feicke has been no bet
ter able to make both ends meet behind
the bar than in the pulpit, and undoubt-
eddy he is wise in preferring the en-
vironment Of the preacher to that of the
barkeeper since he demonstrated he
cannot make a living in either vocation.
But it is safe to predict that Mr.. Feicke
will not remain content long, and that
his present move is merely a run to
cover" A man who can make the tran
sitions from pulpit to bar and back
again within a year betrays a spirit
hat will not be daunted by n few fail
ures. He may not be a good preacher,
o yet a good saloon-keeper, but he
inspires a confidence that sooner or
later he will discover what he is good
for, and promptly do it.

Malarial Fever.

Nu010I10l ever.
This disease-alsO called fever ana
ague-is best described as a periodical
fever. Its chief characteristic is not
so much the nature Of the single at
tacks as the peculiar of their
repetition. The two principal types
Of malaria are intermittent fever and
remittent fever. The intermittent type
is characterized by recurring attacks.
In which, as a rule, chill, fever and
sweating follow each other in orderly
sequence. One generally knows a few
hours beforehand, by unpleasant sen
satlons, and sometimes by headache.
that a chill is approaching. The entire
duration of an attack is usually from
twelve to fifteen hours.
The periodicity of the attacks is mosr
striking; they occur with regularity at
the end of twenty-four, forty-eight or
seventy-two hours. During the inter-
vening period the patient, feels pretty
well, and except in unusually severe
cases is able to be about. The remit
tent type of the disease has no distinct
lntermissions Of the fever; the temper.
allure is constantly above the normal,
though marked remissions occur.
Malaria is caused by the presence in
blood Of a parasite, a minute or
ganism which can be seen only by tho
aid of a microscope. The natural his
tory Of this parasite is not known; mol
do we know how the organism enters,
or how or in what form it leaves the
human body. It is known. however.
thai these organisms are always pres
ent in he blood of a person suffering
from malaria, and that they disappear
with the disappearance Of the symp-
toms. or with the administration Of
quinine. Low, marshy regions, with
abundant vegetation, badly drained
low-lying districts, old river courses,
tracts of land which are rich in vege-
table matter, and particularly dis
tricts which have been allowed to fall
out of cultivation, are favorite local.
ties for the development Of the ma
larial poison.
In regions where malaria constantly
prevails, it occurs most frequently in
spring and autumn; in temperate re-
gions it is at it's worst in September
and October. Wherever it prevails the
drinking water should be boiled, and
unnecessary exposure to the night air
should be avoided--Youth's Compans

His Science Was a Little OFF.

One night a young man in Divinity
Hall at Yale undertook, with a toy
rife, to hit a lamp. But his aim was
poor and the ball passed through the
window of an eminent and venerable
professor Of science and imbedded it.
self in the wall.
This was the opportunity for the pro-
fessor and for science. He, too, set to
work and computed the curve, and
with the exact skill of infallibie fig
ures he traced the bali right back to
the room of an innocent colleague, who
didn't even know the rife had been
fred.
The unfledged minister fatty denied
all knowledge Of the affair. But men,
even ministers, have been known to
make denials in self-defcnse, and the
professor had the proof with him. There
was the bullet, there were the marks
of it's course, and there was the CON-
putation worked out.
1t looked as if a pulpit career was to
be nipped in the bud. But the guilty
student heard what was going on. He
called on the professor, confessed the
offense, pointed out that the man of
science was 200 feet out in his COM
putation, and advised that the matter
be dropped right where it was. And
that was done.-Hartford Courant.
