two stones in his hand. When he drew
back a stone to throw it Mr.. Davis jump

He got up and chased the boy, but he
ran and got away.

Cycling is not mOnOtonous, and while
calling for on the part of the
rider, it makes no exhausting demand
upon his mental energies. But it is in
the wonderful range of exercise that it
offers to it's devotees that cycling
stands pre-eminent. Mount a rider on
a cycle on a level road, and the amount
OF force necessary to carry him fifty
yards is infinitesimal compared to that
expended in walking the same distance.
But, although the effort expended is so
small, his legs are subjected to a
rapidity and extent of movement as
great as in running. That little force
is used is shown by his breathing. His
wind is not affected. We have said be-
fore that a nan breathes when he
wants air. He wants fresh air when
the carboni acid gas in his blood has
reached a certain percentage. Now, in
accordance with the law hat every
effort reduces some minute portion of
the body to ashes, it follows that the
greater the effort the more the car
bcric acid gas. But, since the more III
ashes the oftener a man wants to
breathe, it is practically the SAM thing
to say that effort may be measured by
the rapidity and depth Of the breath
ing. A cyclist going at a moderat pace
does not breathe rapidly. But on the
other hand, his legs are in rapid mo-
ton. Let us remember it is movement,
not effort, that quickens circulation.
The rider is not breathing rapidly, but
the blood is circulating freely through
his whole body. His lungs get an
abundant supply, and, his breathing
being unembarrassed, the air he in
spires is generously absorbed In other
words, he manufactures little carbonic
acid gas but he takes in a large supply
Of oxygen. The blood in his arterial
system becomes a vivid scarlet. Mus
cular movement draw the blood to the
e~xtremities, in the absence of having to
pump against a stagnant circulation,
has only to follow on" This, then, is
the condition of a rider cycling in mod
eration; he is developing his muscles
by exercise; not the leg muscles only,
but also those of his loins, back, abdo-
men, chest and arms; his heart is beat
ing easily, his lungs are doing their
work to perfection, and there is circu-
lating in his blood more life-giving
oxygen than his body well knows what
to do with.-Chamber's Journal.

The most wonderful child that ever
lived, or probably will ever live, I'm the
history of the world. was little Christian
Heinrich Heinecker. born at Lubbock. Ger
many, Feb. 6, 1721, and died June q, I725.
When but nine and a half months old this
child could pronounce every word in the
German language: when one year old he
had familiarized himself with all the lead
ing events Of the worlds history and
knew more of the Pentateuch than all
the learned men of his day. At fourteen
months he could give a complete history
of every book in both the Old and New
Testaments, and before he had passed
his second year. could answer all ures-
tions correctly in geography. or ancient
history. Before his death. which occurred
in the fifth year of his age, he conversed
fuently in Latin, French and Dutch. 4
short while before his death he was called
before the king of Denmark, and he pleae-
ed his royal highness so well that the
king had every mark of respect paid him.
Returning home, he was placed under
close study of new branches Of knowledge.
which proved too much for his delicate
constitution, and this child, who had been
a BABY, boy, youth, man, and savant. ia
less than five years. died leaving a record
which will probably remain forever un-
broken.

Comparison of Dingley aud Wilson Tarif fl
Bills

bills
Washington, July 31.-The COMPARE
son of the present tariff law with the
Wilson act authorized by congress has
been completed. It was made by
Charles H. Evans, who has been en-
gagged in the preparation of all the tar
if bills with which congress has dealt
since 1872. The comparison is made in
rates expressed in ad valorem terms
between the present law and the Will
son law. The statement places the
average duty rate under the new law
at 54.66 per cent, ad valorem, as
against an average of 40.10 under the
Wilson law, the averages being figured
upon the basis Of values in 1896.
The schedules show the following in
creases in per centages: Chemicals,
from 1883 to 30.67; woods and woolens,
1852 to 1854; silks from 1876 to 53.41;
metals, 3S.11 to 1924; sugar, 1894 to
74.16; tobacco, 109. 06 to 121.90; agricul-
tural products, 22.A to SS.42; spirits.
etc, 61.54 to 1888; cotton manufacture
es, 42.7 to 1888.
Some of the increases expected in
revenue are as follows: Chemicals,
from SIS, GIG, 239 to $S,423.0S4 earthen
ware and glassware, from $13, 1876, S39 to
$12, 3O3, 14S; metals, from $13, 1856, 416 to
ST., 4S7, 4S2; woods, from $6O5, 749 to 49,
439. 536; ugar. from s29, $40. 703 to s54,-
207, 642: agricultural products, from
3, 727, GA to $14, 587, 601.
These estimates are based upon the
supposition that the value n volume
of imports will remain the same.

oAy ~ Sy 0otS o1s
Messrs. Jackson & Bell, City:
Allow me to endorse what Mr.. Fennell
says about colored men as jurors. 1 have
been Oh the jury with them-both on
grand and petit juries-and have never
found them unreasonable in any matter
that came before US, on either grand of
petit juries.
I think with Judge Sutton. that we need
more of the most intelligent men on the
jury. And no man who has either prop
erty or intelligence should shirk his duty,
and. as a rule. a man who has property
should have intelligence. 1t is deplorable
to see so many of our best men shirk
their duty in this respect. / hope they
will reconsider and let the commission
ers know they will serve and have their
names put back in the box. At times
there might be one or two men Of SUI
perior intelligence on a jury, and they
would be able to explain a tangled matter
so that any man could see the matter fin
the right light and thus carry a case the
right way, when, otherwise, it might have
been decided wrong by the jury not un-
d~erstanding.
Yours respectfully.

New Kind Of Kite

A new kind of kite was flown in the air
at a hight Of LOCO feet from the roof of
the stock exchange building all day yes
terday. Its inventor, Silas Conyne, SCI
North Whipple street. says it combines
all the perfect points of other kites. says
the Chicago Tribune. Being different in
shape from most other kites, many peo-
pie on the streets who saw it hailed it as
an airship. 1t consists of two triangles
connected by a light framework. and hav-
ing wings on each side after the Malay
pattern. 1t is a combination. in fact, of
the Hargrave and Malay kites. 1t weighs
seven and one-half pounds. and has nine
square feet of surface. 1t leaves the hand
at an angle of 45 degrees. The inventor
says he can send it out and make it re-
turn to him without it once touching the
ground. provided the wind is as favorable
as it was yesterday. He says he has test
ed its carrying powers, and that it will
bear a load of four pounds in the air.
Conyne says he has a kite four times the
size of the one which he few yesterday,
and that he will experiment with that
next week from a downtown point to see
whether it will carry a weight of twenty
pounds. 1t is sixty inches high and meas
ures ffty-four inches from tip to tip Of
the wings.

that their mine will resume tomorrow
