Concert.
Tho first Of the popular Sunday concerts was
given at tho Metropolitan Opera House last
night before q large audience. 1t was. moreover,
an u~ncommonly enthusiastic gathering, and
the occasion was a great personal triumph for
Mime. Marcella Sembrich. She has already won
the highest measure Of critical Endorsement, and
1t only remained to be seen what her success
with the general public would be. 1t will be
remembered that Nine. Melba gained her pub
lie first at these performances. and her subse-
quent popularity commenced with her Sunday
night appearances. Nine. Sembrich won as
great q popular SUCCESS as she could have de-
sired. The theatre was crowded. and the mood
of the audience almost took on the hysterical

BICYCLING.

Public opinion pretty generally re-
CARDS bicycling as healthful exercise,
Notwithstanding the published views
Of some physicians to this effect. I
cannot but regard it, as it is usually
practiced, as most decidedly the con-
trary. The whole portion of the body
above the hips is bent forward the
vital organs, the stomach, lungs and
heart are cramped, while the heart is
stimulated to unnatural action by the
exertion necessary to propel the
wheel. All this is detrimental to a
free and natural circulation which is
one of the most important conditions
of health. I cannot make myself be-
lieve that nature ever intended that
man should use such means of loco
motion. 1t may do we'll enough for
an emergency when speed is required,
but tor steady exercise it will in the
end prove a failure and give place to
some other fad of like character.
That it will deform the rising genera
ton who indulge in it is beyond dis
pute, for the position that the cycler
almost universally occupies constantly
reminds one of frog, a monkey or a
kangaroo. The frequent practice oi
exercise of this character will gradu-
ally change the human form. There is
no better exercise than walking, with
an upright gait and free movement
1t will promote health and the perfec
ton of the human form, at the same
time 1 believe that if the sensible
erect position that women maintain
while riding were observed by mer
and boys, and if scorching and ten
mile runs at high speed were no
practiced, then bicycling would be al
right.

None but the Deaf Girl Understood.

1t doesn't always pay to express
your inmOst thought even guardedly in
the presence Of deaf mutes.
A devoted couple who, apparently,
had been long separated, were thrust
into each others company at largely
attended reception. The lady who told
the story said that she was present in
company with an educated deaf girl.
The happy reunited pair displayed
fully the thoughts that were in their
hearts by the beam upon their counte-
nances. Suddenly the young man
drew near to the one he adored, and
said in low tone, inaudible to those
about him, few seemingly affection
ate words.
The deaf girl watched the proceed
ings with intensest interest, and sud-
denly broke into a broad grin. Her
companion inquired what it was that
amused her. She turned about so that
the couple could not see her and re-
piled:
THAT man said. III all these people
We're not here I'd kiss you. If they
don't get out of the way pretty soon
l shall have to do it before them The
girl replied. Then l shall scream"
The deaf girl understood the words
by the motion Of their lips.--Boston
