 The heart may recover it's tone after a short rest, or it may remain irritable for months, the pulse being irregular and be- coming very rapid with the slightest phys ical exertion or mental excitement.
 After several attacks of this sort, or more commonly without such providental warning, the heart begins to thicken in or- der to accommodate itself to the greater amount of work it is called upon ts per- form, and now the rider is becoming 'sea- soned'
 In the case of a sensible person, who rides for pleasure and exercise only, there is no harm in this seasoning; the enlarge ment is not excessive, because the extra work demanded is not excessive But the punishment of sense'ess over-exertion is ap- palling because it is final and irremediable after a certain point

THE BICYCLE HEART.
Some Timely Suggestions to Riders of
 the Wheel

From Youths Companion.
 In former number of the Youths Com- panion warning was uttered to parents against the abuse of the wheel by young children who are ignorant or careless of the evil effects that over-indulgence is sure to produce sooner or later; but children are not the only ones that are in danger from this cause.
 There are many older persons that are doing themselves lasting injury, and un- doubtedy shortening their lives, by strain ing the heart through foolish and criminal excess in the use of the bicycle.
 Century runs are now such common and everyday affairs that one scarcely dares call himself a wheelmen who has not made many of them. Yet there are few, even of seasoned riderA for whom a Journey on wheel of hundred miles in day is not a dangerous excess and certain tax on the heart.
 We have described in a previous article the cycling neurasthenia which comes some- times from a repeated slight overtaxing of the strength. Another much more serious result of the abuse of the bicycle is the injury done to the heart.
 The injury is of two kinds, the acute and transitory, and the chronic or permanent. The acute trouble appears suddenly in an- swer to strain by an unseasoned rider. It may take the form of heart failure. The victim perhaps falls from his wheel in a faint while straining up hill or against a high wind, or while seorching to keep up with others The sufferers pulses throb. he pants for breath, his hands are cold, his

 June 6-We're off. Passed Takusheena river at 9:30 a. m., and stopped at the head of Lake La Barge for the night as the wind is very high and we can't cross the lake tonight.
 Mosquitoes are terrible here, we have to cover up our heads at night and then they crawl in at the holes we leave for breath ing purposes
 June I've arose at 2 a. m which is broad daylight here. Sailed down Lake La Barge and saw great many wrecks on the innumerable sand bars There are plenty of ducks here, but they are hard to hit with a rifle.
 June S-We started down Thirty Mile river at a. m. This river is a terror, and keeps ones nerves strung to a high pltch all day lodging rocks and gravel bars. Passed several boats wrecked on the bars and arrived at Hootalinqua river at 5 p. m. We had to stop there and show our custom papers at all the police posts.

 June 9-Passed by Salmon river at 1:3O p. m.. and camped at Little Salmon. Two men stopped here on their way to Dawson City with 5000 newspapers from the states, bearing date of May T, and telling how Sampson and Schley were chasing Ger vera around the Carribean sea. You can imagine how intensely interested we are in all of this, for we Klondikers are willing to pay 50 cents each for a paper What a paradise for newsboys this would be!

We will proba- bly, leave this location tomorrow, towing boat up the Stewart river toward the gold fields. We will leave our large boat and all our supplies here except three months provisions and will have to return and take the balance up this winter, if we are successful. Some men came down the river a few days ago, but would not give us any information. They went to Dawson and steam boat has just gone up the river with a lot of prospectors. As the territory where we are going is so far from any postoffice, we will probably not have an- other opportunity to write before next spring."

 Being the owner of the original site of where Bessemer now stands, 1t has desir- able lots and property for sale in any DOT tion of the city, and at prices within easy reach of the prospective buyer To make these lots salable, they are willing to give free sites to manufacturers on which to place their plants.

 To the genuine manufacturer, the prac- tical wide-awake business man that comes earnestly, seeking the very best location, all things thoroughly considered, to meet the wants of his special line, the land com- pany will extend the most liberal treatment and render him such valuable assistance as their great commercial prowess and thorough knowledge of the country's re- sources will enable them to give.

B6SS6MER, THE MARVEL CITY "A Short Sketch
 It's Birth, Growth and Aduantages.-

In the annals of Alabama as period of prosperity and progress, the year 1887 stands pre-eminent.
 The wonderful spirit of development and activity manifested the previous year in tire mineral district of the state. Ante bellum towns, after years of lethargy, were infused with the spirit of the times, and in various localities new cities were laid off by enthusiastic projectors. Progress and improvement were the order of the day.
 But of all the developments of that year none were so remarkable as the founding of Bessemer-the gift to Alabama of a new star for her galaxy of cities.
