Caution to Middle Aged Bioyclists.

Any form Of exercise or sport which
makes serious demands on toe atten-
ton, on quiCkness of eye and hand and
on endurance ought to be taken up by
people who have reached middle life
and are engaged i'll sedentary occupa-
tiOns only with great circumspection.
The lesson has been learned by Alpine
climbers through many bitter expert
enCes. 1t is pretty generally held by
them that most Of the fatal accidents in
mountain climbing occur through the
failure at the critical moment of some
man who has taken to mountaineering
too late in life, and who is perhaps
also out Of condition. An old dog cannot
be taught new tricks, according to the
proverb, and, though it is disagreeabIe
to have to realize that we have passed
the age when we can excel in a new
pastime requiring special skill to avoid
accident and youthful adaptability and
elasticity to avoid overstrain, it is the
part of wisdom to accept the inevitable.
There is no reason why middle aged
men, and even those who have passed
middle age, should not take to cycling,
but it should be with a frank recogni-
ton of the limitations which age i'm
poses. Great speed, long distances and
hill climbing put a strain upon the con-
stitution and will find out the weak
places, the parts Of the system which
are aging faster, perhaps, than the rest
the heart, it may be, or the vessels of
the brain. So also in regard to riding a
bicycle in crowded thoroughfares, the
strain on the attention is considerable
and the risk not small if man has
lost the quickness of youth. British

Largest Brick Building.

VERY few know it, but it is a fact, y
explained prominent builder to re-
porter, THAT the pension office building
is the largest brick building in the
world. 1t has been subjected to much
criticism, but it can stand it, for as
time passes along there are many things
seen about it that escaped notice when
it was newer In all there are over 10,
600, 900 bricks in the building. General
Meigs took liberties with bricks that nc
other architect had ever attempted. He
not only used bricks exclusively for the
building, but he used them in construct
ing the stairs throughout the building.
In the matter of stair building bricks
have often been used for the riser, but
the step has always been of iron, wood,
slate or stone. In the pension office both
riser and step are of brick. As brick
building, therefore, pure and simple, 1t
is unique in construction outside of the
fact that if is the largest exclusively
brick building in the world. Wash

''T3e Little Church Around the Corner"
Nearing It's Fiftieth Anniversary.
The Little Church Around the Cor
ner, or the Church Of the Transfgura-
tion, as it appears in the records of the
diocese of New York, will be 90 years
old next October, and upon the same
date Dr. George Fl. Houghton will cele-
brate the jubilee anniversary of his rec
lorship. for De has been in charge of the
parish ever since its organization. While
this church has obtained much nOtOriety
because of the weddings and funerals of
actors that have taken place under it's
beautifully grained ceilings, it is known
to the ecclesiastical world as having one
of the least pretentiOus and most devOut
and benevolent congregations in New
York. There have been many famouE
actors among the pewhOlders, but tht
great majority are sober minded, prac-
teal business men and women whose
thoughts are more occupied with their
homes and religious duties than with
the opera and drama. DR.. HoughtOn
himself has never attended a theater
but once III his life, and that was So
years ago, when he was a boy Of ID.
His parishioners who are in the profess
sion frequently send him boxes and
complimentary seats, which are used by
the members Of his family but while
he has never expressed disapproval Of
the theateg be has no taste for it and
says he sees dramas enough i'll real life
without seeking them on the stage.
The association of DR., Houghton with
the theatrical profession began some 20
years ago by a little incident, which
also gave to his church the name by
which it is best known. Three promi-
nept members of the dramatic profess
sion called at the residence Of distif-
guished divine in Madison avenue one
evening to ask hEljjEm. to Qfiqiate at TIE
funeral of one Of their professional as
sociates. To their Indignation, he de-
clined, but suggested that they apply at
"the little church around the corner, "a.
where they would find man VINO
might be willing to bury an actor.
They went to the Little Church Around
the Corner and received a more Chris
tianlike reception. From that date DR..
Houghton has had a monopoly of mar
rying and burying actors and is regard
ed as the spiritual patron of that profess
sion. -. ''77'' - ~

upon to mourn the dear departed.

United States prisoner charged with
counterfeiting, and Frank Waters, of

were discovered to be mysteriously
missing. 1t is hardly probable that they
were the victims Of foul play upon the
part of their associates, and the only al.
ternate conclusion is that they have
jumped their board On that morning
the prisoners were let into the Sheriff's
corridor to clean up. They were sup.
posed to have all gone back into the
center, or inner corridor, but Baldwin
and Walters must have remained in
hiding outside, and probably escaped
through the unlocked door while some
visitors were being shown through the
Jail. Diligent inquiries and anxious
search have failed to reveal any clue to
to their whereabouts.
