WOMAN AND THE WHEEL.
From the Gazette, Dclapare, Ohio.

The healthfulness of bicycle riding for
women is still a disputed question between
eminent physicians and health reformers.
Used in moderation it surely creates for
women Il means of outdoor exercise, the
benefit of which all physicians concede.
Used to excess, like any other pnstime, its
effect is likely to be dangerous.

TO BUY THE TWO ISLANDS.
United States May Purchase st.
Thomas and st. Croix.

Washington, Dec. %. - Immediately
upon the reassembling of congress Sena-
tor Lodge of Massachusetts will make a
vigorous effort to secure early action
upon his scheme to secure legislative au-
thority for the purchase of the islands
Of st. Thomas and st. Croix, which are
in the West Indies and belong TO Den
mark.
A year ago the senate passed a resolu-
ton requesting the state department to
ascertain whether the islands are in the
market, at what figure they were held,
and whether any other country was after
them. The reply which was received has
not been made public in its entirety, but
it is known that the Danish government
intimated that the islands were for sale
and that there had been preliminary ne
gotiations to that end with two European
governments. These are supposed to be
Great Britain and Germany. The figure
asked for the two islands by Denmark
has not been made public.
The text of the reply has been transmit
ted by the state department to the senate
committee ON foreign relations, but for
diplomatic reasons it has been held for the
present as confidential. Senator Lodge is
sanguine of securing an appropriation
that will enable the islands to be trans
ferred to the jurisdiction of the Stars and
Stripes.
