A WARNING To BICYCH,rs RS.


I'm these midsummer days." says the
Philadelphia Record. "the bicyclists may
greatly profit by the caution which a
physician utters as a word OF needed
warning. He charges the tired wheel
man never to take a cold bath: while
In that condition the heart may not
prove strong enough to exert the ncces-
sary reaction, and internal congestion
may follow. 1t certainly would seem as
though a tepid bath, at least, would be
required to throw off the bodily waste.
A rider after a long spin should not in
dulge in a cold bath, nor should lie trust
to his wi record of his pulse beats. He
should wait a long enough time, IL ad-
verse to a tepid bath. to recover from
his eXertion."
h warning Is timely, especially 10
the young and ~thoughtlcss, and Ii fol-
lowed much pain and distress may be
avoided. 1t Is not %infrequent that Sc
we're and dangerous colds are contracted
by bicyclists, some of whom commit all
manner Of ~imprudent things hurtful TO
health. A little caution on the part OF
wheelman may snve much distress and
trouble.

MORE WOMEN THAN MEN.

ton Of $500, 900 people, there are 70, 00C
more women than men, and less thar
one-half Of the male ana not quite two
thirds of the females are native born,
and that the native born males are not
much given to matrimony. It is also
said that the majority of the native born
men OF the State who marry at all, do
So In other States, and if his thing
keeps up Massachusetts is in danger OF
becoming n State of single blessedness.
X Baltimore paper, in abiding to this

WAKING UP.

The New York Herald, which not long

that port, her export trade particularly.
now comes forward with the announce
ment that New York is looking up again
In that line, II here is the way IT ex-
presses itself:
Perhaps we have been napping
the past decade or 60. we commercial

the wideawake cities throughout the
country have been attending TO our

trade away from us. But we are
awake at last. and, rubbing the sleep

THE RUSH TO THE CITIES.

President Jordan, OF Stanford Univer-
slty. gees in the continual rush of the
young men OF the country from the rural
districts 10 the cities, zone OF the most
disuuieting features Of the social condi-
tons of our times" and in the Journal
of 1ndutIsy, Irrigation, and Agricul-
ture, published in San Francisco, gives
the young men Of the country some eX-
cellent advice. He does not believe that
young men raised to farm life ould
abandon the plantations to the cultiva-
ton of the peasants of other nations,
and urges the young man to remain on
the farm where chances for making a
living are Infinitely better than In The
cities. In the latter competition Is
sharp. and unless the young man from
the county 10 better equipped than are
his competitors reared in the cities, he
need no: expect success.
The NirgIniah has written time and
again on the same linc,' and 1t hopes
to some profit to those for whom it was
Intended. If the young men on the farm
would display half the energy and en-
terprise required to make a living in the
cities, 4 majority of them would soon
become independent. In the hurry and
hustle of city life, no man who wants or
expects to succeed can afford 20 be Idle

TALKS ABOUT HOG CHOLERA
Captain swope. Veteran Hog Raiser, Has
Views.

Captain Swope, of North Wichita, was
in the city yesterday, and a question
from an Eagle reporter regarding the
captains hogs, led him 10 discuss the
hog cholera question at some length. He
thinks the theory advanced in the Eagle
a few days ago by a correspondent, viz:
that il is not cholera. and not conta-
gious, is correct. He thinks it sort
of malaria; but in the absence of any
remedy. he advises farmers 10 utilize
the governmental prevention sent out by
the agricultural department in pamphlet
No. q. (Which pamphlet any one can
get on application to the department of
agriculture) In the meantime he adj
vised the reporter 10 call at Ben Aldrich's
drug store. where the prevention is made
by the barrel. and get the government
recipe. Mr.. Aldrich readily furnished
Uncle Sans hog cholera prophylactic,
as follows:
Charcoal. fbbs; sulphur. 10; sodium
chloride, TBS; sodium bicarbonate, .
lbs; sodium hypophosphite, 2 TBS; sodium
sulphate, / 10; antimony sulphide, 10:
mixed well, dry. Dose, large table
spoonful to every Compound hog.

A fellow named Mcdonald took the ami

and with her a basket full of fine pup

during the search for the animal. Nc
Clurg went to several clairvoyants or

the dog, offering good money if they
