Bicycling Makes the Feet Larger.

''Bicycles interfere with the shoe
business in more ways than one, ex-
planned well-known rider of the ST.
lent steed to a Washington Star re-
porter. lit is proved beyond doubt
that riding a wheel will in one season
cause the foot to grow one to one and
a half inches larger. Hundreds OF
bicycle riders have ascertaincd this.
With men it does not make any differ
ence; for, except in very rare cases,
men do not care as much for the size
of their feet as they do for comfort.
With the ladies, however, it is quite
another thing. They wear bicycle
shoes for riding, but find to their sor-
row that in season or SO they cannot
wear the size shoe they wore before
they developed their feet. Cycling not
only tends to lengthen the foot, but
also to widen it. The shoe manuiac-
turers, as q result, turn out many
shoes for ladies of larger sizes than
formerly. It is the old story coming
true in another way; those who dance
must pay the fiddler. I don't know
that it does a nice-looking girl any
harm to widen or lengthen her boot q
little, but they think it does. Still:
there is no getting away from it, and
they have TO grin aud stand the con-
sequences, or &! least stand Oh the
consequences"

Dreaming IL a Mental Recreation.

"The popular idea or impression is
that when persons dream much during
night to that extent their sleep is
interfered with" remarked a we'll
known physician to Star reporter,
"and it is g frequent thing to hear
persons say that they dreamed SO much
during the night that they did not
sleep or rest we'll Now, the fact is,
dreaming is as much rest or mental
recreation as actual sleep in some
respects, although it may not appear
so on first thought. It is hard to
prove this by actual experiment, be-
cause the conditions are 80 difficult to
produce. There is certain amount
of evidence which can be used, how
ever, to prove the proposition. Time
and time again when persons have
been walked up by others they have
explained as a reason that they did
not respond quicker that they were so
engaged in dreaming that they did not
hear the call. It is as clearly proven
as anything can be that persons who
are in dreamy condition are much
harder to wake than those who are
sleeping, as they suppose, soundly.
Take a parent, for instance a mother,
when she is, sleeping soundly. as she
thinks, she can hear her child when it
turns over or moves in its crib. Now,
the same parent in dreamy condition
would hardly hear knock ut the
door CT other loud noise. The dream
SO controls the brain that during It's
pendency the sense OF hearing IS
blunted. Washington Star.

Practical steps for the cultivation o

Practical steps for the cultivation Of
sugar beets in Illinois have been taken.
The latest movement in this direction
is the offering of premiums by the
State Board Of Agriculture for the best
sample of fifteen sugar beets raised on
q patch Of not less than one-quarter
acre, with certain restrictions. The
Importance Of sugar i'll domestic con-
sumption can be readily realized by
the statement that nearly as much
sugar as -four is used by the average
family. Any movement which looks
toward the supplying of this constant
and enormous demand by a home
grown crop is of the first Importance.
Further, in parts OF Illinois it is most
desirable to provide crop which will
renew soils exhausted by succession
of the same products. Sugar beets
combine many advantages in their cul-
ture, and practical farmers will find it
g profitable venture to raise an expelI-
mental crop within reasonable limits,

THE SHIPS RUDDER.
Its TWO Parts Md the Difference In the
Strain That Gesnes Upon Them.

The rudder Of a wooden ships COM
posed of the stalk and the backing,
which are so joined together as tc
form in effect a. single piece. The
complete rudder is coppered, to pro-
tect it from worms, and then, besides
being practically all in one piece, it
has that appearance also.
The stalk is the part to which are
attached the pintles, OF piyots, by
which the rudder is suspended and
held in place, these going through
eyes set in the ships sternpost. The
stalk runs up through he stern of the
ship, and to its head is bolted cap
to which are attached the ropes by
means Of which the rudder is con-
trolled. The backing is the blade part
of the rudder.
By far the greatest strain comes on
the stalk. and the greatest strain of all
comes On the head of the stalk the
rudder head-where it is held. The
stalk is made of the wood most likely
to stand the strain, carefully selected,
sound. well-seasoncd oak, while the
backing is made OF spruce or hard
pine. The stalk is of a single, solid,
massive piece, stout as all oak tree,
and indeed of the dimensions Of a
small oak-something that man can
pin his faith to, if he can have faith IN
any wood-while the backing OF blade
is. like many modern wooden masts,
built up. 1t would be difficult, if not
impossible, to find trees that would
yield planks big enough for the pur-
pose in a single piece, and the built
up backing, made Of pieces Of selected
wood, can easily be made of ample
strength to withstand any strain that
will be brought upon it.
As TO the stalk. stout and solid as
the oak may be, tho head may be
twisted by the force of q tremendous
blow from wave upon the rudder,
or, under the repeated strains of long
use, the head may split, and so make
the stalk useless. Then the rudder IS
taken out and fitted with Il new stalk.
\ suitable stick is selected and worked
down to the proper size and form, and
very probably the old backing is at
tached to it. The life of rudder
stalk would probably be twelvet to four"
teen years. The backing might last
as long as the ship,--New York Sun.

Key West, Fla, April 23.-2:20 a.
m. Incoming tugs report that the
New York has captured Spanish pas
senger steamer plying between Hava-
ma and Porto Rico.
The torpedo fleet is coming in.
Key West, April 23.-The United
States fleet was about II miles off
Sand Key light Friday morning when
the Spanish merchantmen Buena Ven
tura was sighted, bound north. The
gunboat Nashville ran her down and
put shot across her bows. The
Spaniard ignored the shot; but an
other, closer to the bows, brought her
to. A prize crew was put aboard.
Captain Lucarraga, in command, was
astounded. He said that he did not
know that war had been declared.
Inc Nashville has taken on stores
and will return to the fleet. Accord
ing to prize laws, Captain Maynard
will turn the prisoners of war over to
the United States district attorney,
who Will decide their disposition. On
excellent authority it is reported that
the destination of the fleet is Matan-
zas. The Detroit sailed to join the
deet Friday afternoon. 1t is believed
that one or two ships will be left here
at least temporarily.
Commander Lyons OF the Dolphin
has delivered to the United States Dis
trlct Attorney Schilling the papers OF
the Buena Ventura. he will libel the
ship in the usual way. The unfortun-
ate merchantmen is still lying in the
harbor. Her captain was allowed to
remain on board; but the crew of %
was taken over 20 the Dolphin and
made to assist in coaling.
The gunDoat Nashville steamed out
Of the harbor late in the afternoon
The cruisers Marnlenead. and the mon
itors Puritan, Algonquin and Man
grove also sailed to join the fleet. The
only ships Of the squadron now re-
naming here are the Dolphin, Terror
and Helena, all of which are likely to
move within a few hours. 1t was
reported late last night that the Buena
Ventura ran aground on reef about a
mile out and sprung a leak. Tugs
went to her assistance and pulled her
off. Considerable mystery surrounds
the affair.

POWERS ENDORSE OUR STAND
REGARDING COMMERCE.
TO PREVENT PRIVATEERING
European Governments Will Compel
Spain to Abandon Its Announced
Intention of Commissioning Vessels
to Prey Upon Commerce-But 1t
Would not Hurt Us Much.

Washington, April 22.-There are
strong indications that if the Span
ish government persists in it's present
announced policy of commissioning
privateers to prey on commerce eff
fective influence will be brought to
bear on her by several of the great
commercial powers, especially Great
Britain and Germany, to stop pri-
watering or make it practically inef-
fective and harmless. The action of
the United States in declaring that it
would not resort to privateering has
been received with great satisfaction
at the foreign embassies here Ne
gotiations along this line have been
pending here some time and are now
shifted to Madrid, where the British
charge d. affaires is making strong
representations to Premier Sagasta to
prevent privateering. This course by
Spain, while nominally directed
against the United States, would OPP
crate much more injuriously against
the shipping of Great Britain and Ger
many and other commercial powers, as
the bulk of commerce to and from this
country is carried on in foreign ships

SAYS THERE'S GUILT
OHIO SENATORIAL COMMITTEE
REPORTS ON HANNA CASE.
DID THE SENATOR ASSIST?
Democrates Say He Did But Republi-
cans Hold That Testimony Is I'm
roborated-Minority Report AS
serts That the Scheme Was Con-
cooked to Jeopardize Hanna's Seat.

Columbus, o., April 24.-The select
committee of the senate to investigate
the charge of the attempted bribery
of John c.. Otis, member of the house
in connection with the election of
Senator Hanna, submitted two reports
to the senate. The majority report,
finding Hanna guilty, was signed by
Senators Burke, Long, Robertson and
Finck. The minority report was filed
by Senator Garfield. By a strict party
vote Of 10 to Is the majority report
was rejected and the minority report
adopted. The majority report finds
that the evidence proves four facts:
That an attempt was made to bribe
Otis to vote for Hanna for senator;
that Henry A. Boyce was the princi-
pal offender in the commission of the
crime; that Major Rathbone, Major
Dick and Hanna procured. aided and
abetted Boyce to commit the crime;
that H. H. Hollenbeck aided Boyce.
Senator Garfield submitted the min
GRITTY report. There were two uues-
lions, he said, really bearing upon the
charges. First: Was John C. Otis
offered S1,750? Second, if any such Of
fer was made, was it made by Hanna,
either i'll person or by an agent, or
further, by the knowledge or consent,
directly or Indirectly of Hanna? All
testimony offered upon these points
was hearsay except that of Otis and
Campbell. Upon the uncorroborated
testimony of Campbell, says Garfield,
rests the whole foundation for the
charge that Otis was offered S1,750.
Summing up the minority report says
the scheme was an effort to entrap
Hanna in some way which would
prove disastrous to the validity of
his election.

board are regularly recorded. The
salary of the health officer is $50 per
annum. The board of health two
years ago gave the health officer au-
thority to act in it's name in an emer-
gency. The law requiring the report
of dangerous contagious diseases is
observed. Two years ago most of the
children were vaccinated; since that
time hardly any of them were vacci-
mated. On receipts of reports of con-
tagious disease the health officer
puts up the sign of contagious disease
on the house and the state board of
health is promptly notified The
general result of efforts to restrict the
spread of contagious disease is en-
couraging. The law requiring the

they have to do it but l think that it
will soon work all right. The law re-
quiring burial permits is not OBJ

more than six days as a result of the
action of some unknown poison, is

poison is from some of his painting
