daily. A cordial invitation to attend

MEDICAL VIEW OF BICYCLING.
What an American Consul Reports
From GeFmany.

Under date of July %, 1897, United
States Consul Keenan, sends the fol-
lowing from Bremen to the State De-
partment:
At a meeting of the medical society
in Berlin, January, 1896, DR.. Mendels-
sohn, professor in the university, read
a paper on the medical view of bicycle
riding, which was published in the
'Deutsche Medical Wochenschrift,
November IS. 1896. More recently it
has appeared in the "Centralblatt fur
allgemeine Gesundheitspfiege, and it
is now being discussed in the German
press in general. The chief points of
the paper We're:
The advantages of wheel riding may
be inestimable, if practiced intelligent
ly and with moderation, but harmful
or absolutely dangerous if carried to
excess or in cases where riding should
be prohibited. The advantages accru-
ing to riders are obvious. since the
wheel affords exercise and recreation
to the mentally overworked, and as an
independent and inexpensive means of
locOmOtion ii is ideal. The danger of
the wheel may consist of injuries from
accident, Inflammation of the knee joint
resuitinf from overwork, Inflammation
of both male and female pelvic organs
resulting from overwork Inflammation
etc. Another danger is in the con-
slant excessive eXertion. which can
produce an increased atomic and mole
cular change throughout the body, es-
peciaIly in the vital organs, to such
degree that a general weakening of the
individual and an especial suscepti-
bility 20 infectious diseases may result.
The tendency to catch cold is proved
by experience to be great. The heart
is subject to the greatest danger in
cases of excessive cycle riding. A
large number of sudden deaths have al
ready been recorded, due to excessive
strain on the heart
Cases where wheeling should be pro-
hibited are as follows: ID Existing
heart LESSONS, CD arterial Classification,
CD albuminuria, a. old age, and 90
childhood.
Cases where bicycling is beneficial
are: ID When excessive uric acid and
govt exist, CD in certain mild forms of
chronic disturbances in the pelvic or
gans, which are thereby subjected to a
certain degree of exercise, which has
an effect similar to the gymnastics and
massage of the Thur Brandt method:
90 when there are slight disturbances
in the respiratory organs, except abso-
lutte lung dilation
1t can be said, adds the Consul. that
important points relating to the advis-
ability Of bicycling by girls and boys
OF certain temperament as we'll as by
certain neurotic women, are not OBJ
served in the foregoing remarks. but
1t must be conceded that the conclu-
slons stated by DR.. Mendelssohn are
true

ter growth; never fear about that


The little weed looks so harmless at
first, but the wise man sees ahead and
knows the risk of unclean fields. The
f1ippant jokes about the purity of men
and women are small in their way, but
the end is an unclean mind, and an I'M
clean mind in old age is one of the most
woe begone -lunworthily- developed,
and unsatisfactory products of human
life that you can possibly meet. So
wrench and tug at the things that uni
versal experience says are noxious, and
not good for mental food-wrench and
tug and out with them, however much
it may hurt! The end, in this case,
will justify the means.
One more lesson from the field,
scarcely related to the above and yet
useful perhaps to you in filling you with
the dignity of living. The grain of the
present fields has, under cultivation,
advanced somewhat upon the grain of
the ancients. It's needs are better
understood, etc. Yet it's possibilities
for improvement are only slight. But
what about a human being, yourself
for instance? When maize was already
dam, your ancestors and mine We're
savages dwelling in caves. The seed
and the beast are still the same, but
man is monarch of earth, is assault1ng
the air. and is bombarding the heavens
with his scientific instruments. LOOK
at nature around for many lessons, but
look at man and his attainments to be
thrilled with the glories of humanity
To think that the little cooling infant,
personally just as ignorant as and more
feeble than the cooling infant OF the
early ages, can SO drink in the accum-
ulated wisdom of all time, that a few
years study enables him to start where
the great before him nave
left off-astronomy in relation
to Newton for instance-Wln
make you marvel that any should speak
unworthily of our race or draw back
from a share in its deeds. 1t is above
the rest of animated nature. Where
animals combine for defence, always in
the same way for ages past, we move
forward into new combinations, UNI
dreamed of by our ancestors but pos
sible by their own 1eadings in that OIL
rection; where animals show skill in
all the details of their work, we show
greater as time passes and leap onward
from pinnacle to pinnacle of ability till
the present day dawned. While the
race lasts, the same growth will go
on if the same conditions are complied
with The gains of the past fill US
with wonderment and then comes the
longing for these eyes to see what the
eys of our children's children shall be-
hold in their old age. The heart reels
in contemplation.

SOME RAMBLING THOUGHTS.
BY Memo"
(Copyrighted by Dave & Tabor.)

copyrighted by Dave & Tabor.)
To Youth of Both Sexes:-Come now,
let fancy lead us over the fields, barred
of their crops. 1t is a human privilege
to think, and we do not half live unless
we live in order to think, and most of
us will not half live unless we think in
order to live. With this slight digreS-
sion let us turn to the bare fields. One
thought at least we must take away.
The winter is to me a type of old age,
for then do people live on the crops
gathered in autumn after a summer of
attention following a spring of seeding.
That is old age exactly-a time for
feeding on the stores of memory. Little
food in winter means much hunger,
cold and suffering. Little of wise,
kind, noble action and thought to look
back upon, means an old age of nag
ging regrets, empty hands, and
shrunken, chilled heart Come now,
there is no escaping that conclusion.
Every day is adding to your store of
old-age memories. What are they to
be? Firm grains on which you can
feed, or husks and off-scourings unfit
for human being?
Let us venture on another thought:
You cannot name a step in the whole
history of a crop that is unimportant.
What about blowing? 1t must be sea-
sonably done and we'll. What about
fertilizing? Suited to the soil and the
crop. Sowing? Done with the best
available seed. And as for cultivating?
Life and vigor are only brought by APP
parently endangering both in the seed
ling. And so on, and so on-your act
i've brains. having already possibly out
run me. Turn the thought on yourself!
Why should you venture in your
springtime to endanger winter stores
by letting the happy years of joyous,
wholesome youth, become mere catch
alls for amusements and thoughts that
later you would fain forget. The mind
is so whimsical an organ that those
things we need to recall, often most
easily escape US. and the things that
are of no gain to US we most tenaciously
remember.
Yet no field is free entirely from
weeds. We scarcely know how they
come. Nor can twenty years pass over
our heads in the springtime of life
without the accumulation of mental
weeds. The chief thing is to recognize
the difference between them and the
good growth and then Cultivate, cul-
tivate, cultivate persistently covering
the foul growths so that they do not
choke the good. You have to be stern
about such doings, for you cannot pos
sibly show me a food-plant that has
anything like the vitality of a weed.
Work with will; for the summer day
Slips like a stealthy snake away,
Nothing will tell that its hours are by
Nought but the grain or the famine cry.
How often, too, the husbandman act
ually endangers the growing stalk to
pull away from its very roots weed
that would soon rob it of its nourish-
ment. He is cruel to be kind He en-
dangers life to save it. Thus must you
do, if you would be wise and happy.
Bad habits, some of them not only I'M
wise but positively injurious cannot
grow, entwined around the good, with
out weakening the good. Initiate the
husbandman's ways and wrench them
out. though the doing of it shakes your
very stability for a time. The good
will ultimately take stronger and bet

THE WORLDS FAIR

The next great Worlds Fair, the
greatest yet attempted, and which will
be SURPRISING in every line, is that fixed
for Paris in 1900. The preparations are
mighty, on an immense scale. Ameri-
cans in Paris and American newspaper
correspondents are already talking Of
the wonderful things being done. The
necessity for immediate action upon the
part of the United States is held to be
imperative 1t is being demanded that
this government bestir itself in the app
pointment and organization of a COM
mission to look after American inter
ests In the great event at the close Of
the Nineteenth century. The circular
addressed to congress by the American
Chamber of Commerce of Paris. urging
official action by the United States at
the earliest possible moment in order to
secure the adequate representation of
this country at the Worlds Fair in
1900, is a timely reminder of the dere-
LECTION Of our government in this matter.
As it is, we would be two or more years
behind nearly all Of the great nations
even if the bill before congress. to ap-
propriate S350,0O0 for the expenses of
the commissioner should be passed this
week
