Cautions for Bathers.

Never enter the water when over
heated; rest a little first, and cool off,
but not enough to feel cold, says a
writer in the Woman's Home Compan-
ion. Bathers should enter the water
when the body is at glow, not when it
is in active or violent p%erspiration.
Never enter the water with a headache;
never do so with a full stomach. Moth
ing can be more dangerous to the sys-
TEN than to contraVene these rules,
and many have lost their lives by neg
Letting them. No one should enter the
water Immediately after dinner; none
who wish to avoid the swimmers bug
bear, cramps, should enter it when suf-
fering from acidity Of the stomach. The
best time for bathing is either before
breakfast or between II and IL o'clock
in the forenoon. All who suffer from
delicate constitutions should avoid
bathing in the early morning.

Patents In China.

China has no patent office or laws
and therefore the Chinese can use with
IMMUNITY any invention patented in
any other country, According to GUS
tom, however, Americans holding
American patents cannot be infringed
upon in China without getting them,
selves into trouble. The consuls take
all such matters under advisement and
protect the %patentees as though they
were in their own country. Therefore
all questions as to copyrights, patent
rights and inventions of all descrip.
lions are subject to the decision and
arbitration of the consuls, according to
the laws of America on such subjects,
but there is no such protection against
the shrewdness and greed of a China.

that there Is no word in the Japanese

the vast number Of foreigners who

opposite sex, it may be because a larger
proportion of the former give little, if
any, consideration to the matter OF the
figure they cut before onlookers. Men
who ride bicycles do so, as a rule, for
pleasure and recreation, and If they
imagine they ride easier by having
their heads and shoulders protruded
out yer the handle bars or by having
their backs bent almost parallel with
the upper cross bars of the bicycle
frame, they will assume those positions
regardless of appearance.
Among the younger male riders the
desire to be known as "scorchers' or
to pose as racing men is responsible for
some of the most unnatural positions
it is possible to attain in the bicycle
saddle. 1t is to this class that the
camel back" position, illustrated in
the accompanying figures 1 and 2,
yves it's origin. Besides presenting an
awkward appearance, the camel
back" as shown in figure 1, prevents the
abdominal muscles from properly per-
forming their functions, thereby ham,

position is not uncommon among rae
ing men, though, other conditions be-
ing equal, camel back No. 2 is likely
to last longer in a prolonged contest,

(Body Inclined Too Far Forward.)
In figures 4 and 5 the body is inclined
too far forward for ordinary riding,
though the positions are frequently OBJ
served on the cycle paths and race
tracks. Figure S is a typical position
Of a racing man in readiness for the
pistol shot that starts the race. The
sixth figure shows the position of the
average racing man when making his
Sprint" with the weight Of his body
thrown directly over the pedals. There
is no excuse for such a position on a
wheel outside the race track, though it
is not infrequently seen on the as
phalted th%oroughfares of the city.
Wheelwomen, in their regard for ap-
pearances, and in ignorance Of the
proper position, sometimes err in the
extreme opposite to that Of the wheel
men, by sitting bolt upright in their
saddles. Such a position, while per-
haps more dignified than leaning too
far forward, is scarcely less injurious,

Figure 8 illustrates the correct in

ton would be improved If the rider,
instead Of pulling UP on the handle
bars, would rest the palms of his hands
on the grips and throw his shoulders
slightly further back, so as to expand
his chest, which here is rather con-
tracted. The position, however, is a
good n for climbing a grade, where a
rider sometimes finds it a help to pull

HAWARDEN, May 25.-The remains Of
Mr.. Gladstone were removed this morning
from Hawarden Castle to the village church.
They were carried by a half-dozen old re-
tainers Of the family to bier on wheels,
on which they were taken over the lawn,
past the favorite hooks Of the deceased in
the park, to the church, followed by the
family. Thousands Of people have been
arriving at Hawarden all day to view the
remains. Several ladies tainted from ex-
cess of emotion when passing the bier, and
many men and women dropped on their
knees and silently prayed.
Mr.. Gladstone's remains arrived at West
minister, London, today accompanied by
Mr.. Herbert and Henry Gladstone. Mrs.
Gladstone will come to attend the public
ceremonial. A group of thirty or forty
gentlemen who are connected with the
ceremonies, including the Duke of Norfolk,
awaited the arrival of the train at the sta
ton. About two thousand of the public
looked on. The coffin has been placed in
position for lying in state. This was done
about 8 o'clock this morning when Canon

PARIS EXPOSITION
Will Not Be Boycotted by the United
States Government

WASHINGTON, May 25.-While the pro-
vision In the sundry civil appropriation bill
for the proper representation of this coun-
try at the Paris exposition, which was in
serted by the senate, has not yet been taken
up In formal way by the conference COM
mittee which is considering the BILL the SUBJ
ject has had more or less attention from the
members Of the committee as individuals.
The members realize that they are acting
largely in diplomatic capacity in dealing
with this subject, and according are inn
pressed with the necessity of proceeding
with caution. Their attention has been
called to both sides Of the question, and the
fact has developed that there is an element
IN this country quite opposed to making
any appropriation at all, because of the a.
legged Partially Of France towards Spain
In the present war. The fact has also de-
veloped that at least one member Of the
committee Is personally of the opinion That
no appropriation should be made under the
circumstances. Indications are, however,
quite strong that this view will not prevail
unless some open act of hostility should be
: committed by the French people, so long as
the French government continues to de-
clare its good will.
The prevailing opinion among the COM
mitteemen seems to be that the wise and
proper policy is to proceed in the matter
Just as would be done If there were no war.
Some Of the representatives of the house
on the conference committee are of the
opinion that the senate provision looking
to the ultimate expenditure of about $780,
900 on the exposition is too liberal, and that
II would be at any time more than this
country would be justified in expanding on
4 foreign exposition. They are advocating
a reduction, placing the limit at 100000.
and there is a probability that this change
may be made. All that can be said definitely
now is that the committee as a whole is
favorably dispose to make an exhibition
of American products at Paris that will do
credit TO our country and be an earnest
Of our good will toward France.

in securing two first class boxing contests
for his club. He expected to match Kid
Mccoy and Joe Goddard, but instead he
has secured the signatures of Mccoy and

incentive being purse Of $4,000. The con-
test will take place at the Lenox Athletic

will begin training Immediately. In addi-

a twenty-five round contest between Joe
Goddard and Peter Maher for purse of

this afternoon to meet at the Lenox Ath-
