In Brooklyn a fourteen year old boy
rode 40 miles over bad roads and with
high wind impeding his progress on
the return trip. Immediately after
reaching his home he collapsed, and in
spite of the best medical attention sank
rapidly and died within few hours as
the direct result of Over-exertiOn. Near
Toledo young man attempted to ride
hundred miles over muddy roads. At
the eighty seventh mile he collapsed,
his body from the waist downward be-
ing completely paralyzed. Physicians
say he never will be able to walk a
step. These two instances should serve
as a warning to all who are tempted
to over-exertiOn on the wheel The
value Of the bicycle as health giving
agent Is too we'll established to require
discussion. But even so helpful an
agent must be used with wise discre-
ton. The fact that thousands OF in
valids have found health and strength
by using the wheel should not conceal
the fact that Over-exertion in any form
Is highly dangerous. Use the bicycle
nationally and 1t will prove good
friend, but leave fcats of endurance for
others who are fitted by training to at
tempt them.

both parties are gradually discovering

march, cheering them, and as the soldiers
marched along they were presented with
flowers and fruits in abundance
The troops were in good physical con-

NEW CALL OF VOLUNTEERS.
Part VIII he Used to Fiji Present
Regiments.

Washington May 3O-About 20 COVER
nors OF states and territories have replied
to Secretary Ayers kilograms asking Tor
their views regarding the filling OF the
present volunteer regiments to their max
imum strength before beginning the for
nation of new organizations. Some OF
these indicate preference for the recruit
ing of entirely new regiments as, under
the first call, leaving the present orGanlza-
tions with the number OF men now CON
tanned in them, though practically all
promise the government any amount oi
troops that are wanted. 1t Is the pres
idents desire, however, that the organlza-
tions already formed should be filled to
their maximum strength as the law pro
vides and this policy will be carried out IN
the recruiting under the second call. Inc
apportonment to the states has been
made up but not yet given to the public.
| Through urgent representations to >ecle-
tary Alger some of the states were per
mitted under the first call to furnish IL
greater number OF troops than they were
legally elltltltu " VII iiiC p"T'' va PR
lar representation. Consequently IN rals'
ing the $1,000 men under the second call
these inequalities will be remedied as tar
as practicable with the result that some
of the states may not be called on to
furnish any of the men needed. This
course probably may give rise to diseon-
tent in states where men wish to serve,
but it is regarded as the only fair way to
proceed.
Adjutant General Corbin said that 1t
had been definitely decided today to use
about $1,000 of the volunteers to be raised
under the new call in filling out deficient
regiments already organized under the
old call. 1t would take about that num-
Der he thought, to fill each company up
to the maximum limit of 1860 men. The
remaining $4,000 men will be organized
into regiments OF three battalions each
and distributed among the states and ter
ritolies in exactly the same proportion as
under the first call. No cavalry however
would be accepted, and only limited
number of artillery.

Stnmp-savings societies have nothing
to do with the pursuit OF stamp-collect-
Ing or ''phllately." The stamps which
are saved through the agency OF the
societies are not postage stamps, but
bits Of colored paper in form like
stamps, each representing certain des-
ignated value. and each practically
receipt for the deposit Of certain cor
responding number Of cents. The pur-
pose Of the societies IL to encourage
the saving Of small sums Of money.
The method is simple. A schOOlboy who
has a few cents. instead Of spending
them for candy, goes to station Of one
OF the societies. and gets in exchange
corresponding value Of the society's
stamps with card to fasten them on.
and an envelope to hold the card. When
he has few more cents he adds more
stamps to his card. At any time he
pleases. the society will give him back
all or any number Of the cents which
he has given for the stamps. at the
same time taking back the stamps But
II the boy is wise he will keep adding
few cents at time until he has mon
ey enough to begin to draw interest at
savings bank, when he Will draw II
out and put 1t in the hank. OF course
1t takes some money to provide the
necessary stamps. cards and envelopes.
and some time and patience to deal
with the small savers Of money, but
this is a matter of benevolence, and
does not cost the investors anything.
There are stamp-savings societies in
New England, New York and other
parts of the country. and 1t would not
be difficult to start them almost any
where. for old or young people. or both.
At a single station in Boston nearly two
| thousand dollars was saved in one
year. most of 1t in penny deposits by
school children. Small sums OF money
often are wasted because they do not
seem large enough to be worth saving.
or because there is no convenient way
| Of taking care of them. Stamp-saying
societies help to prevent the waste.
| Where there are no savings banks. they
take the place of them to some extent;
and where there are banks they become
feeders TO them.

foreign powers, growing out of possible
complications in the east, which are to
be referred to Washington for negotiation,
General Merritt's control of affairs will

throughout bear every evidence that the
