Ten Million Wheelmen.

1t is stated by competent authority
that there are ten million people in Am
erca who are bicycle riders. Probably
each one gets an average of one hurt in
a season, and that is just when Henry Il
Johnson's Arnica Il Oil Liniment gets in
its good work. Nothing has ever been
made that will cure a bruise, cut or sprain
as quickly. Also removes pimples, sun
burn, tan or freckles. Clean and nice to
use. Take it with you. Costs % cents
per bottle. Three times as much in a
% cent bottle. We sell it and guarantee
to give satisfaction or money refunded.

A MAIN CHANCE OF LIFE.
Some Interesting Results Of Calcu-
lation Upon the Percentage at
Various Ages.

In the English Illustrated Magazine,
Mr.. j. Holt Schooling works out some
interesting results as regards the
chances of males at ages 20, 80, 40, so,
60, 10, so and 90, living for ten years
more, 20 years more, 80 years more,
etc. For example, as regards 1000
men aged 20, 930 of them "live ten
years more" i. e., 10 age 30; that is
"a per cent. live to age 80 and six per
cent. do not. so the chance at age 20
to live 10 age 80 is not quite sixteen to
one i'm favor of living. Similarly. $50
out Of 1000 live 40 years more" i. e.,
to age 60, so that the odds in favor of
a man aged 20 living 10 age 60 are Go
to Al. say five TO four, in sporting
phrase. Again, as only ten out Of the
1000 live 70 years more, /. e., 10 age 90,
the chance of man aged 20 attaining
age 90 is only one in one hundred or
odds of ninety-nine to one against him.
As TO the chances for men aged 80,
no per 1000 live ten years more, i. e.,
TO age co; therefore, we may say the
chance of u man aged 50 living to GO
is represented by odds Of II &c %, or
about seven TO two in favor of the man
aged so living ten years more. This
chance, favorable as ii is, is Of course
not nearly so great as the sixteen to
one chance in favor of a man aged 20
living to age 30. CHANGING at men aged
10 we see that only 335 per Loco live ten
years more, i. G., to age so; this means
that "a per 100 live the ten years and
Go per 100 do not, so the chance at age
70 of a man living to age so is repre-
scented by the odds of two to one
against him. AS for men aged 90, of
1000 men alive at age 90, only four live
TO age 100. Thus at age 90, the chance
of living ten years is very small, it
being represented by the long odds of
two hundred and forty-nine TO one
against the man-quite an outside
chance.

For the first time in the history of
the United States military academy

the institution. The officer TO be thus
honored is First Lieut.. Albert Mills,
of the First cavalry, one of the heroes
of Santiago, who now has the tempo
rary rank of captain as a member of

battle at San Juan, having been shot in
the head and losing an eye. The presi-
dent had an interview with Capt. Mills
a few days ago, and hearing from his
own lips the story of the work of the
troops at Santiago, and remembering
the glowing account which Gen. Young
had previously given him of the con-
duct of this brave officer, offered him
the superintendency of the military
academy, which is considered one Of
the most important commands within
his gift.

Although at first stunned and then

however, completely overpowered by
his grief, he moaned piteously, re-
