/ New Use for Bicycles.

The rates for carrying cycles in
Europe are now so low that a great
number of cyclists take their machines
over to the continent with them. and
on the retur journey fill the pneumatic
tires with tobacco, small bottles of per.
furne, lace. cigars and even TASKS Of

steamers arrive from the continent, and

the officers adopt a very simple plan Of
inspection, but one which requires
some practice and experience before it

They simply cause the wheels to re-

How to keep 4 bicycle immaculate
after bad weather is a problem which
causes no little worry to the "rain-or-

to study the subject thoroughly in

said that the majority of these are in
my way indispensable, but those which

II USED III MODERATION II Exercise Ia
GENERALLY Beneficial.
At the Hospital Medical society in
Paris, long discussion has been going
on as 10 the benefit or harm to be de-
rived from bicycle riding, most of the
members taking part having had per-
sonal experience with the machine. NJ.
Petit concludes that people suffering
from cardiac affections should abstain
altogether or ride with extreme moder-
alton. Phthisical people should ride
but little. while those predisposed TO
tuberc.e have derived great benefit,
from the exercise, as have also those
suffering from certain nervous aifec-
lions. NJ. Hallopean said the bicycle
was not a physiological method of pro-
gression and offered both advantages
and disadvantages. The latter were
especially marked in cardiac subjects.
Even when free from cardiac disease
riding provoked painful sensations
connected with the heart in certain peo-
pie. Riding up steep hills or against
head winds should be avoided. Numb
ness experienced by some in the toes
was pronounced due to pressure OF the
saddle on the ~sciatic nerves. NJ. Rendu
had seen symptoms of angina pectoris
after a long ride in a physician who had
never before exhibited any signs Of a
diseased heart. The exercise was. how.

What is there wanting in the spring2
The air is soft as yesteryear
The happy nested green is here,
And half the world is on the wing.

Are westward waters blue and calm,
Yet something's wanting in the spring
What is it wanting in the spring?
o April, lover to us all!
What is so poignant in thy thrall
When children's 8 merry voices ring2
What haunts us in the cooling dove
More subtle than the speech of love-
What nameless lack or loss of spring?

Call her the dear, the fair, the young,
And all her graces ever sung
Let him, once more rehearsing, sing

Till something from the spring he missed
