wHIR OF THE WHEEL.

The use of toe clips, even by women
riders, is steadily increasing. They GER
tainly insure a firm pressure and keep
the foot in place, but, in case of fall
or collision, the rider will wish his feet
had been free.
Professional racing is at low ebb in
Europe. There are too many racers,
and the prizes offered are too small for
them to make expenses. We suppose
this means a grand rush of foreign
cyclists to this country.
The installment fiends are at work
again. Dealers groan. but rather than
lose sale they take so much down and
so much a week, and then other dealers
must follow their examples or lose
sales. 1t is demoralizing, but how can
ii be helped?
People who can never see anything
but hard times, either present or in
prospect, will be surprised to hear that
makers and dealers in bicycles are
unanimous in declaring that this sea-
sons trade will surpass any on record.
Money cannot be very scarce when peo-
PIE spend $2O,oo0,OOO in a year on BIZ
cycles.
A statistician who wanted to know
how much energy is expended in cycle
riding figured on the basis Of rider
travelling 200 miles at racing salt on a
machine geared to 70, the rider and ma
chine weighing 14O pounds. As result
of his calculations, he declares that in
such performance 100000 pounds of
energy are expended, or about 200 horse
power.

4. Subscribers moving to other

Usher, and the papers are sent to the
former address, they are held re-
sponsihle.
b. The courts have decided that
refusing to take periodicals from the
office or removing and leaving them
uncalled for, is prima facie evidence
OF intended fraud.
3. II subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time they do not wish to
continue taking it, and the subscriber
will be responsible until an express
notice with all arrearages are sent to

Z. The latest postal laws are such
that newspaper publishers can arrest
anyone for fraud who take a paper
and refuses to pay for it.
Under the law the man who allows
his subscription to run along some
time unpaid, and then orders the
postmaster to mark it refused" and
have postal card sent notifying the
publisher, leaves himself liable to ar
rest and fine, the same as for theft.

FUNERAL RITES.

Our infant baptism is Persian, with
the font and the smuggling Of the child's
brow. Our throwing three handfuls of
earth on the coffin and saying "Dust
to dust" is Egyptian.
Among the Sikhs an entire family
wears mourning when a child is born.
The Bhatus or Hindoo gypsies burn the
adult dead, but bury their dead chill
dren.
Of the worlds population millions
die each day. Every good Sikh must die
upon the bare ground. No n,a ter WHIT
his rank or age or agony, no %pT must
intervene between him and his mother
earth when he breathes his last.
In Cuba a bereaved family wears
mourning upon which there is no hint
of sheen, and they keep the windows
of their house shut and darkened for
six months. They destroy the value of
the clothing on the dead and often
hack the coffin before burial. This, Of
course, that there may be nothing in
the grave worth a thief's Decorating
avarice. .......
Among the orientals funerals are
more important than births and al
most as important as their wedding fes-
tivities. An eastern funeral means
great time for the priest and dervishes,
and the beggars gather in numbers to
receive charity from the mourners. The
fine frenzy of the dancing dervishes
when a funeral is in progress is some
thing to see.
Our tolling of the church bells at
burial is the survival of an old and still
observed pagan custom of beating
metal gongs during funeral, that the
dreadful noise might brighten and drive
away the malignant spirits that hover
over the dead body, hoping to snatch
its soul and carry it to hell. One of the
most accredited industries in Holland
is the breeding of funeral horses. Over
800 are sent to England alone each year.
Fish rs Lawn Mowers.
1t may not be generally known, says
the Bloomington Paragraph, that
German carp can be used as lawn now
ers, but Krampff Kyle had Rudolph G.
Shafer, fishermen of Havana, put a
large number of German carp in the
upper end of the slough east Of Havana,
to remove the moss before ice-making
begins. These fish cut the moss close
to the ground, when it sinks and be-
comes buried In the sediment. They
have done the work well and the firm
will now have q clear field for ice this
winter. These fish are being seined
and shipped. ever 5000 pounds were
taken out in one 1"t' recently.

Con atento B. l. M. ha tenido Ia
amabilidad de remitirnos cl Goberna-
dor del Banco Espahol de esta Isla,
un ejemplar dc la "Memoria" leida en-
la Junta general de accionistas cele-
brada en- el pasado mes de Febrero.
En- ella despu6s de iniciar las eau
sas generates que han inAuido eE Ia
paralizacion de los negocios en- toda
la Isla durante los primeros meses del
aho 1ltimo. y de hacer Ia oportuns
comparacion de las operaciones reali-
zadas con las del aiio anterior al del
balance actual, sc hace constar que
los benehcios verdaderos obtcnidos
durante el pasado aiio de 1897 sc Gle
van q la respectable suma de $f-7.777
70 centavos que representa- un 2s.6e
por ciento del capital desembolsado
que hasta Ia fecha no pasa del so poi
ciento del valor de las acciones.
Este benehciS demuestra de un sno-
do ELOQUENT. qy<na ~ol daz, firmeza y
garantia que SAece el Banco Espahol
es cada dia mayor, esperando funda
damente que el desenvolvimiento de
sus operaciones, hagan elevar d ma
yor suma los benehcios.
Otro dato mas, para demostrar el
prospero estado del Bapeo, es que sin
necesidad de tocar el capital nj el fon-
do de reserva, sc satishso con "Per-
didas y ganancias" la cantidad del
desfalco no recuperada.
Celebramos mucho el gran desarro.
llo que ha alcanzado el primero dc
nuestros Establecimientos de credito.

"Nosotros solo deseamos h2cer la
luz Y el procurador de la rep1blica,
ei rePresentante de la justicia. preten-
de limitar Ell debate.
Afortunadamente, los hechos por
los cuales Sc persigue a mi defendido
estan intima y directamente enlazados
con la demonstration de la inocencia
de Dreyfus. Para demostrar nuestra
ineu'pabilidad tenemos que probar
que ese desgraciado no fue sentencia-
do con arreglo a la ley.
lComo Sc nos va impedir que
demostremos de que manera Sc come
tio Primero la ilegalidad, gracias a Ia
cual fue condenado, y luego la mane-
ra como despues Sc cubrio aquella lie
galidadl
"Pido, por 10 tanto. que Sc admita
prueba sobre ell texto complete de Ia
ea:ta de mi defendido, Mr.. Zola, en- Ia
cual trata principalmente del hecho de
haberse cometido una ilegalidad."
Terminado este, la prueba es re
chssada, los testigos no acuden, dis
eulpandose, y entonces ell abogado de
lola protesta en- estos terminos
-"Esta serie de excusas-dice-
prueba evidentemente que Sc ha he
cno y Sc esta hacienda una campah;
de inhmidaciones y de presiones per
sonsles para impedir que vengsn
declarar los testigos mas important,
en- este proceso.
"Es. sin embargo, indispensable gu,
testigos como coronel Dupaty- De-
clan vengau q la barra.
"Entre csc coronel, mademoiselI,
Comminges y ell comandante Ester d
~ existe un secreto que es necesarit
esclarecer. Mr.. Dupaty Declan ten,
que revelarnos quien es la dana de

ceso contra Dseyfus.
Isl Ia declaration del coronel Da
patty -Declan puede ser de tai natura
lea que comprom~ta secretos de rs
tauo, peoiremos que Ia vista sea sc
ereta.
"Pero que venga de todas maneras
"Nosotros no temcmos a una visit
puerta cerrada con doce iurados re
presentando el honor dc Ia patria, qu
es nuestro honor"
El pdblico rompe en- grandc
aplausos.
Por ultimo, viendo que la serie d
testigos que Sc excusan cstan en- gra
mayoria. Labori eleva nueva protest
en- tonos muy enGrgieos, diciendo:
mo dude dc la imparcislida
del tribunni. rs la Gnica garanti
que lie qucda 4 mi dcfcndido. Per
presiento la mala voluntad dc las au
toridades militares, las cualcs no ha
prohibido a los ohciales que acudan
declarar en- este proceso. pero les h
impuesto las escusas que debian da
para no venir; ademas Sc ha ejercid
prcsion sobre otros testigos, como PC
ejemplo, las sehoras Cominges v Boz
laneey.
"Asi es que pido la suspension d
la vista para redactar conclusiones.
FL tribunal accede. Suspendese
vista.
