lieve that no person who is not sufficiently robust for the most exacting athletic feats should ven lure to mount that vehicle This, it seems to us, is quite as absurd as E the notioneof the opposite extrem- ists that the wheel is q necessarily wonderful promoter of health and longevity. Violent exercise of any kind is not good for the average constitution. Persons who have organic diseases of any description should not undertake to rush bi-. cycle up a steep grade. A person whose heart or lungs are defective has no reason to hope for immunity in such exercise. No reputable physician would advise or fail to warn against such a risk.
 eThe truth as to the wheel and those who ride it is that it is good if properly used. In many cases it has been substantial aid in the development of strength and vital- ity. There are scores of men and women in this city who arc health. fer and happier, more useful in their families and in society than they would have been if the bicycle had not been invented. They have used and not abused 1t. On the other. hand, there are men and women and boys and girls whose health has been seriously and, in some instanc- es, irreparably injured by excessive or injudicious bicycling. Like all other good things, the wheel may be perverted from blessin to a curse ? -

Clocks With Nerves.

There is ono disadvantage about very tall buildings which is being noticed by the occupants. It is perhaps small disadvantage, but still is worth consiG ering, as it involves some annoyance tc those who have not made provision for it.
 Tho trouble referred to is the stop. ping of pendulum clocks by the vibra' tion of the buildings Many pendulum clock that has kept accurate time for years in old fashioned low structures has refused to run at all when moved into some one of the new tall steeJ framed buildings ill the lower part ef the city On tho lower floors Of the buildings the clocks run fairly well, but when higher up in the buildings they become more whimsical and on tho tf7 floors will not run 1t ell.

THE true function of a newspaper is to support saadz encourage all kinds of public enterprises and i'm proyements that rebound in the re motest degree to. the general wei fare. Whatever stimulates. activity, promotes trade and encourages enterprise in community should receive the support of the news papers dependent upon that com munity.fof support and patronage, A newspaper that does not. work for the advancement of it's commu- nifty in every conceivable manner is an obstruction to public enterprise and local Improvement, and is un- worthy of the people whose patron age it soicits. We are. told by a local newspaper that has been back, capplng the proposed Jefferson County HSfr this season and last that the ..returns from the fair will not justifW theS amour tof money necessary R be expended How does our wfse cdn tenn porary ksow? If this con Nntion hes8rpe, how is it that tliK pe6 Jfleof N ewporB1 Month cello, Warren and Stuttgart hold a fair every ,year2 1.-the returns did not justify the amount of money necessary s toss ba expended, does our contemporary suppose that these towns would hold a fair every year? Ahd is not Pine Bluff larger, with better railroad facilities, ,e than any of the towns Aaforesaid as And, besides, an enterprising citizen has donated the use of bis park and grounds free of eharge, , which gen- ables the people of Pine Bluff to hold a fair without the expense of fitting npsfair grounds, a consider ation of no small value The people of Pine Bluff are determined to have fair uhis fall, and tneS editor of our afternoon contemporary will have fgy submit some argument rather tban his belief in the prem ises, te4dissaaae them from their presentp tpurpose.

QUESTION OF LUCK.
A Citation That Clinched the Other Side of the Argument.


 T hate to hear people gay there's no such thing IS luck, '" remarked the mel ancholy NIT. Dolittle.
 ''I don sec why, " his wife rejoined.
 Because 1t isn't true, he returned with asperity A man can go on try ing and trying and never get along, and some other person will go ahead and tumble into good things without making any effort whatever.
 Hiram, no great man has succeeded without hard work. ''
 That's the kind of talk you always hear. But nine times out of fen 1t is all owing to the opportunity that presented itself. Fortune just seems to lie in wait to kidnap some men. Look at Sir Isaac Newton. His name is handed down from generation to generation. Amt why? Simply because he was sitting under tree, and an apple happened O drop on him. You can't pretend that man is in position to claim superior p,erit simply because, through no ac- tion or preference of his own, he gets hit in the head with an apple, can you?'
 No, Hiram. :"
 "Then don't tell me about there not being any such thing as luck. !"
 ''It seems to mo that you ye chosen a poor example in support of your argu ment The case of Isaac Newton goes to show that the difference is ill the people. If 1t hGd been some men -thatI know of instead of Newton, the first thing they would have done after the apple fell would have been to go into the house and moan fer the arnica bot, tie; then they would have spent two or three hours of precious time talkiiR about their bad luck n--W Washingtc4 Star.

GARfSH BOOK BINDINGS.
They Are h Fad Taste and Are DIsIiked
 by s;aoisworla and Scholar.

Books have right to be, first of all. books, net purveyors of wfimsies in color and design. As matters are at this moment threa-quartels If the new books look more like some strange ell. tree at a fefst than like everyday edi- bles You take up qsays aud 1t has the air of curious ragot,Ts there are uu- known fragments of design floating in a sauce of queer elemental color. The next one has an air as honest as apple sauce at first glance; 'tis Q pale greenish thing, but presently you see that the trail of serpent is over all its border And who can hope for content from dish thus garnished?
 Again Il book. and this one burns bright rcd and yellow, like pudding on fire with eognac, which is all very we'll for pudding, Another has q cover which looks like resisting beefsteak pounded by the stern hand of fate in boarding honse; another reminds you irresistibly of coffee wherein chickory has too much inserted its diluting aid and cream is missing But, first and last the new books are ever more prone eo AoSciHDl5 hiHiii plObS O4 deC6ptIN0 stage verdure than honest, simple sonled books. It is impossible to help doubt ing the yaluo of tho literary pasturage to be found il such inclosures Forth nately ono is sometimes most joyously deceived. Authors have little 'say', concerning tho garb of their volumes, and often-geod luck to them-they rise superior to the mechanical makers of books and rajoice the souls of their readers i'll spite of the bindings.
 And it must be repeated that in tho present bizarre and excessive fancies in binding there is seed of abounding hope for the future. Publishers are groping for something: few of them know what. But they will learn, and the world will be made glad by a genuine revival ill the lovely old half forgotten craft of bookbinding. In that happy coming day there will be great honor for the men who lead the taste of this country to- ward better things in bookhinding, sim. pier and saner and more sincere. --Bos l ton Transcript.
