 R r OW that the season for bicycle I'M riding is well under way a great many people are reviving with deep personal interest the old question of the effect of wheeling upon the health.
 Dr. John H. Girdner, who is one of the best known medical authorities in Amer ica on matters having to do with the ther- apeutics of exercise, says on this subject:
 Bicycle riding is certainly not harmful when indulged in to moderation. In every case bicycle riding transforms the mus cles of the body into kidneys-that is to say, it causes all of the muscles of the body to perform exactly the same func- tions as the kidneys. namely, the work of eliminating poisonous and other waste ma aterial from the tissues of the body.
 None of the muscles of the legs are ip- 1ured in any way by bicycle riding in moderation. All are strengthened to some extent. but particularly the muscles of the thigh. and it is the enlargement of these muscles on each thigh that gives that odd appearance of unusual fullness to the legs of athletes just above the knees.
 .The muscles of the lower part of the leg which are chiefly developed by pedal ing are those called the tibialis anticus, the externus longeus. If you will look up your school text book on anatomy and turn to the diagram showing the location of the muscles of the legs you will per- ceve just how the development of these muscles gives that rounded appearance to the fore part of the leg of the bicycle rider to the side of the central bone
 None of the muscles of the rear of the thigh are particularly well developed by bicycle riding, as none of these muscles perform any other office than merely con- tracting and expanding with the move ment of the leg.
 Tn the hind part of the leg the muscle that receives the greatest development Is the calf muscle. This muscle is developed more than any other in the legs, with the exception of the vaStus internus and the rectus. The other leg muscle that devel- ops so much as to give a rounded appear ance is the soleus, which is responsible for the bumpy part of the leg about the ankle of wheelman.
 And while it Is chiefly the muscles of the leg that are developed in so marked I.manneY bY the riding of a wheel. naKar-

word of caution must be spoken. Should these silk Things ever show a tendency to catch in the pedals or in the wheels, push hard and you will find the silk will give, and so you can save yourself a fall It is much better, however, to take the ounce of prevention than the pound of cure, and before you start examine your facings to be sure that they are firm.
 It would be pleasant to say that the sailor and the Alpine were as fashionable as the Tam. because the sailor is so natty E'and the Alpine is so comfortable; but, when all is toldi you must admit that the Tam is seen fully three times as much as the others put together.
 The secret of the Tam's popularity can be traced to it's economy. Anybody with a grain of ingenuity can make a Tam out of a "wheel' of cloth and an old brim. It requires no trimming except quill at one side which can be stuck smartly forward. A dozen Tams are not too many to carry a girl through the bicycle season, one to match every shirt waist. It is de- lightful that these hats can be so easily and cheaply made, for hat certainly sets off a face and figure better 1T 1t harmonizes with the waist in some way. @ HANDING all day on her feet N where her work must be done Is A one of the hardest tasks a working
 woman encounters Unless she IS dressed properly this position may cause her serious trouble. Lame, aching ankles and feet are oftener the fault of tight corset than of tight shoes. The corset dislocates the organs in the pelvis, caus- ing them to press upon the great nerves and blood vessels which go to the feet, making them most painful.
 There Is a shoe which can be bought for S4 with very low heel and broad. square toes, which is called the nurses shoe" and is much worn by nurses in the hospitals. It is not a thing of beauty, but it Is a "toy forever in it's proper place. The heels and soles of this shoe are made to stand upon and the body is balanced with this in view. When the wearer cramps the foot or raises the heel till all the weight rests on the ball of the foot, the entire body is out of balance and must be kept upright by using up the muscular and nervous force intended to be used for such work, hence the consequent fatigue
 The round-toed shoe has not come to stay; the new shoes from the East grow more pointed. There is a brown patent leather shoe having brown cloth top, which Is rather expensive, but which has good style.
 If you cannot live without a. corset, the and give better figure than the long ones.
 There is a girdle which worn with shirt waist and skirt is quite as satis- factory. The waist ends in a stout band with buttonholes for the tapes, which front. The skirt has corresponding buttonholes Buttoned neatly under a belt there Is no danger of showing safety pins and slipping skirt.

THE ST. LOUIS PRIZE.
British Steamer TWickenham, Car
rying 5000 Tons of Coal to
Admiral CerVera.

New York, June ia dispatch to the
Herald from Mole St. Nicholas, Hayti,
says: The merchantmen captured by the
auxiliary cruiser st. Louis just off Mo-
rant Point, Jamaica, last Friday night,
was the British steamer Twickenham.
On board the Twickenham are 5000 tons
of coal for the Spanish fleet She has
been sent as prize to Key West.
The captured steamer is a London
steamer which went first to Martinique
expecting to effect a junction with Ad-
miral Cervera's squadron at this island
The fleet had departed before her arrival
and she was detained there as suspi-
cious vessel by the FRENCH: authorities.
Word was brought to Admiral Sampson
that the Twickenham had left Marti-
nique on Wednesday. The St. Louis was
Immediately dispatched to intercept her.
Twenty miles out of Kingston on Fri
day night the st. Louis fell in with the
Twickenham. The armed liner showed
only the green and red lights of a mer-
chairman and the collier kept right ahead
on her northern course toward Guanta-
namo. where she hoped to be able to find
some means of getting her coal to Admi-
hal Cervera's ships in the harbor of San
tiago.
Coming into close range, the st. Louis
surprised the collier by sending a shot
across her bow. The Twickenham, in
sledu u stopping, put on null steam ana
tried to get away. Quickly overhaulipg
the Englishman, the St Louis fred again.
The captain of the collier, seeing fight
impossible, hove to and was boarded by
boats crew from the st. Louis.
The British captain at first made a Wig
orous denial that the coal he was carry
ing was for the Spanish feet. His yes
sci was searched, however, by the men
from the st. Louis.
In the freroom man in overalls was
found who spoke only Spanish. After O
vigorous cross-examination by Capt Good
rich Of the st. Louis this man admitted
that he was a Spanish officer in charge Of
the cargo.
On the approach of the St. Louis he
had thrown his papers and commission
overheard. He appeared to be badly
scared at the way things had turned out
He was sent as g prisoner of war to Key
West on board the captured steamer
The St. Louis has recently been en-
gagged in cutting cables around Cuba.
Lieut. Allen said that when she passed
Guantanamo last night the stars and
stripes were still flying over the marines
on the hill.
The American men-of-war were lying
in the harbor, but there had been no en-
gagement yet with the Spanish.

SPANISH REFUSED.
Marines Who Landed on Cuban

tons battalion of marines, which land
ed from the transport Panther on Fri
day and encamped on the hill guarding
the abandoned cable station at the en-
trance to the outer harbor of Guanta-
namo, has been engaged in heading off
rush attack by Spanish guerrillas and
regulars since 3 o'clock Saturday after
noon.
The fighting was almost continuous for
thirteen hours until 6 O'Clock this morn
ing, when reinforcementS were landed
from the Marblehead.
-Four Of our men were killed and one
wounded. The advance pickets under
Lieuts. Neville and Shaw are unaccount-
ed for.
Among the killed is Assistant Surgeon
John Blair Gibbs, son of Maj. Gibns of
the regular army, who fell in the Custer
massacre. His home was at Richmond,
Va. but he has been practicing In New
York, and he entered the service since the
war began. He was a popular officer
The others killed are Sergt. Charles H.
Smith of Smallwood, Private William
Dunphy of Gloucester, Mass, and Pri-
vate James McColgan of stoneham.
Mass, and Private James McColgan Of
Stoneham, Mass Corp. Glass was ac-
cidentally wounded in the head.
The Spanish loss is unknown, but it
was probably considerable The sDlashes
of blood found at daylight at the positions
the Spaniards occupied indicate fatalities,
but their comrades carried off the killed
and wounded
The engagement began with a desultory
firing at the pickets 1000 yards inland
from the camp. Capt. Spicers company
was doing guard duty, and was driven in,
finally rallying on the camp and repulsing
the enemy at 5 o'clock.
The bodies of Privates McColgan and
Dunphy were found, both shot in the
head. The large cavities caused by the
bullets, which inside a range of 500 yards
have rotary motion, indicate that the
victims were killed at close range.
The bodies We're stripped of shoes hats
and cartridge belts and horribly multi
ated with machCtes.
Shortly after midnight came the main
attack. The Spaniards made a gallant
charge up the southwest slope, but were
met by repeated vollcys from the main
body and broke before they We're one-third
of the way up to the hill. but they came
so close that at points there was almost a
hand-to-hand struggle. The officers used
their revolvers. Three Spaniards got
through the open formation to the edge Of
the camp. Col. Jose Campina, the Cuban
guide. discharged his revolver, and they,
turning and finding themselves without
support, ran helter-skelter down the re-
verse side of the hill
Lieut.-Col. Huntington and Maj. Cock

Inhuman Bullets.

At recent hygienic congress at Mad
rid, Prof. Bruins of Tuebingen, exhibited
which he had tried the effect of what he
called 'inhuman bullets" These, he said,
were made by filing down ordinary bul-
let's On stones. The effect of such q bull
let was terrible, as he could show by his
SPECIMENS and as was proven in actual
a bone such a bullet splintered it from
top to bottom or took pieces out of it
twenty. or thirty times its own size.
When it struck only soft parts it carried
away immense pieces, often so large that
II 1t struck, for instance, the calf of the
leg, amputatiOn would be necessary The
injury was so extensive that in no case
could one imagine it was caused by bull
let. Therefore, he believed that he was
justified in naming them inhuman.-Med-
