Americans need not think that they
are the only people who have made
the bicycle popular. The London Cy-
Gle. a trade journal, has made COM
putation of the capital invested in the
manufacture Of wheels and the annual
expenditure Of cyclists, and the result
is some astonishing figures. 1t esti-
mates that no less that f16, 100000 are
invested in the making of various parts
of the bicycle, in the 100000 wheels
now in use, in agencies, depots, repair
ers, the manufacture Of bells, lamps
and saddles, clothing, shoes, and the
keeping up of race tracks, clubs and
riding academies. The annual eX-
penditures are placed at f12,500, 600.
If these figures are even approximately
correct there must be about $5,OOO,000
a month expended in Great Britain on
account of the bicycle. AS a great deal
Of this is spent by people of moderate
means, there must be somewhere a
consequent falling off in expenditures
for other things Indeed, shopkeepers
in England, like their brothers in
America, complain that the bicycle
craze has hurt business.

Present Decision.

If, instead of being influenced by a
hazy and underlined feeling, we bring
clear thought to bear upon it, we shall
find that the only supreme and final
test Of conduct must ever be the convic
tions which we hold at the time.
Not whether any other person or the
whole world approve or disapprove, nor
even whether we may or may not con-
tinue in future years to maintain them
ourselves, must be our question, but
whether at the present moment we be-
lieve in our inmost heart that such &
course is the true and right one to pur
sue.
If this be not our guide-if any other
voice, opposing that of conscience. be
obeyed-then we act in defiance of our
own moral sense, which is plainly the
swapping of character.

AS the cry in 1S57-59 was pixies
Peak or bust so now the argonauts
are yelling, 'Ho, for the Yukon" The
rush of the enthusiasts continues and
the vessels at the Pacific coast points
are not able to accommodate the
crowds desiring to take passage. Some
men even propose to make part Of the
journey to Sitka on foot. 1t is not like
ly that they will actually make this
journey, or if they do that they will be
heard of again. A st. Louis man pro-
poses to go to the diggings in a balloon,
and he is not less wise than many who
are starting for the gold fields by other
means. Hundreds of those who are
going to the Klondyke region are to-
tally untitled for life under the circum-
stances they will encounter there. The
hardships there are intolerable almost,
and the chances of fortune decidedly
against the ''tenderfoot."
