James Michael is the champion long

He recommends all wheelmen to
take Paine's celery compound.
His experience is that OF thousands
of others. With the opening OF the
bicycle season many young person and
hundreds of older people who have de-
termined to take up bicycling as a
health h-giving exercise find themselves
really lacking the proper "snap" or
stamina to begin on. Their bodily
condition prevents SO spirited exercise.
| They would like to ride, but they are
out of sorts, run down by winter OF
work or indoor life. Many who are
really sick, who have suffered from
debility or wasting diseases for long
! time until they had begun to think
their troubles had become chronic, as
nothing gave them relief, would turl
to bicycling for relief. But this splen

strength to undertake. The blood II

E,r,,er. Who Are Land Poor.

Farmers who have as much land as
they can properly attend to frequently
rent other farms and extend their o2;
erations. They cannot do this profit
ably unless they depend upon fer /
izers. But few farms receive suff1-
cheney of manure, and when the sar.-l-
er undertakes to cultivate more land
he must either impoverish the land or
add something to it. 1t is better to
use les sland and increase the yield. If
the land can be made to produce more
without enlarging the area the cost OF
the crop will be reduced. Hundreds
of farmers are land poor and pay taxes
on land that cannot be made to pay be
cause the efforts are not concentrated
on less space.

WONDERFUL GAVE FOUND.

Pennsylvania Hunters Make n Dis
cOvery of Some Interest.
While on Laurel hill, near the Cam
bria Pa.) county line, the other day,
hunters made an interesting discovery
and had an exciting experience.
While climbing the mountain Dick
Costner, one Of large party, fell into
the earth and disappeared while walk
ing ten steps ahead of his companions.
Investigation showed that he had fallen
into cave, and he was soon dragged
out, bruised and bleeding. The party
sent across the mountain for ropes and
lanterns. Men were lowered into the
cavern, which was found to be appar-
emily boundless. For 100 yards the
exploring party followed the cave into
the bowels of the earth, and, finding no
signs of finish, returned to daylight.
The cave will be further explored.
The exploring party found signs
showing that the cave had at one time
been inhabited, and it is thought to
have been. the home of the notorious
band of robbers which half century
ago made life a terror for the stage
coaches between Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh on the state road. The cave
is half mile from the state pike.

WHY Cnt. PInx with Mice.

THE idea that cats, out of cruelty,
play with a mouse before, killing it is
a mistake" said cat fancier. Notice
what happens when cat catches a
sparrow. The bird is not played with,
but slain at once. If the cat tried any
game with it, the. sparrow, though
wounded, could easily fly out of reach.
A mouse cannot escape in that way, so
the cat practices upon the unfortunate
animal variety of experiments, in
order to keep its powers as hunter up
to the mark. That is why it gives the
mouse chances of getting away, and the
harder the task he sets himself, the
more will his skill be improved. If he
did not take such lessons, he would
soon become a second-rate mouser."

CORN FOR INDIA.
Fifteen Thousand Tons In Brooklyn
Awaiting Transportation.
Inability of Government 90 Carry
Out Provisions of COnEress-LOok.
ing to England for Way Out
of Difficulty.

No arrangements have as yet been
made for forwarding the $4,000 tons of
corn stored in Brooklyn warehouses
to the plague-stricken districts of In
dia. 1t is a mistake to suppose that
this is q matter which rests with the
custom house authorities. Six weeks
ago congress authorized the secretary
of the navy to charter a steamship OF
American registry to convey the con-
tributions of food stuffs to India. The
contributions comprised chiefly wheat,
buckwheat, barley and rye, which were
sold, and with the proceeds corn was
bought. When congressional authority
to hire vessel was granted the contri-
buttons amounted to about 1000 tons.
Daniel w. Hawthorne, the deputy
collector in charge of the marine di-
vision of the custom house, reported
to the secretary of the navy that
vessel could be procured to carry the
grain for ten dollars ton. The rapid
accumulation of grain made it neces-
sary to look for a larger vessel. but one
could not be found. There is no Ameri-
can vessel available that will hold $4,000
tons. The only vessel that will hold
so large cargo is'the Hamburg-Amer-
lean line steamship Pennsylvania. The
thing to be done, apparently, as the
secretary of the navy is not empowered
to engage more than one vessel, is to see
if the British authorities will not pro-
vide a vessel to take the larger part
of the corn, while an American vessel
takes the remainder.

SIGHTLESS PERSONS.
There Are Just One Million Now Liv-
ing in Civilized Lands.

1t is stated that there are 100000
blind people in the world, or to every
1.5O0 inhabitants. A great German
oculist believes that a majority of the
cases are due to fever, and that rs per
cent. of the afflicted persons could, by
proper treatment, have retained their
sight. Last reports show $4,000 blind
persons in England. or $40 for each
100000 inhabitants. Blind infants
of less than 5 years, 166 for each 1,O00,-
900 inhabitants. Blind infants of less
than years, 166 for each 100000; be-
tween and Is, 2SS; between 20 and 25,
422; between As and 60. 1,625, and above
65 years, 1000 for each 100000. Of
fetal figures in France show that only
one-sixth of the sightless were. born
blind, that of these 65 per cent. were
male and IS per cent. female children.
Less than 10 per cent. of sightless peo-
pie in France were under the age of 81.
Russia and Egypt are the countries
where the blind constitute the largest
proportionate number of the total pop
ulation, in Russia on account of the lack
of experienced medical attention, and
in Egypt because of ophthalmia due to
irritation caused by movement of the
sand by the wind. There are nearly
100000 blind persons in European Rus
STA, the largest proportionate number
in Finland and the northern provinces.
This is ascribed to the fiat country and
imperfect ventilation in huts of the
peasantry. Though more than half of
the blind population of Europe is found
in Russia, there are only 25 asylums for
the blind in the empire, one-tenth of the
total number in Europe. While the
blind population in the United States is
less than one-third as large as that of
Russia, the number of inmates of blind
asylums is larger here than in any other
country. The total number of pupils
in these institutions was, by last re-
ports, 3,4s0, and grounds and buildings
devoted to their use are valued at &c.

Food of n Pet Squirrel.

DR.. Emily G. Hunt, in st. Nicholas,
describes "a White-Red-Squirrel" that
was pet of some New Jersey girls.
DR.. Hunt says: Beads has his own no.
tons about his food. He makes but one
meal day, eating very heartily of corn,
taking the sweet kernels only, and
throwing the rest away. He always
keeps nut or two soaked in the water
cup to soften and save his teeth. He
hides most of his store in. his bed, al
ways eating the nuts that have been in
the water. Others he loves to hide
all over the room, whence they come
rolling down on one at unexpected mo-
ments. He was presented with big
box of woods earth to dig in. In this
he loves to hide a nut. He will begin
his usual scratching, gradually clear
ing all away but just a column where
his treasure is, as he supposes, hidden.
