rHe LATE Dr.. Kelley.

The late Dr. Leslie p. Kelley was a
native Of So. Lawrence county. N. ",
where he was born sixty-eight years
ago. He went through the civil war as
an army surgeon and then settled
down to the practice of medicine IN tho
little town Of Dwight, III. According
to his own story. he devoted all his
energies to the study Of drunkenness
as a disease. and after numerous ex-
periments devised what he termed a
cure. He opened a s%anitarium at
Dwight and patients soon began flock
ing to It. Controversies ragged about
his cure. Many physicians scofed at
IL. But the remarkable faith shown In
him By a large majority who had TAX
en- his cure soon brought about a
change in public opinion concerning
him, and he became an object Of re-
spectful professional consideration not
withstanding that his treatment was
in part secret, in violation Of the code
Of medical ethics.
The graduates Of his institute
formed a Kelley association and held
reunions, publicly proclaiming to the
world their victories over the demon Of
intemperance through the gold cure.

w~orhinEman's Pride In the strests o.
tho French CnnitaL

the French Capital
An article IN the March number OF
the Century, Paris of the F%aubourgs.
by Richard Whlteing, author and An
Dire Castaigne, Illustrator. throws a
bright light on the difference between
the lives Of the laboring classes In the
French capital and I'm London. The
Partisan lives In the streets, and prides
himself on their beauty and cleanli-
ness; the Londonor has no less to
boast Of, In this refpect. and takes less
interest in the external aspect of the
city. The people Of the faubourgs. the
humble folk genemlly-small traders
and small annuitants. as well as ORR
men-like all the rest OF us, are the
product of their surroundings. They
are shaped by the private life and by
the public life, by the street and the
home. These people in Paris owe "a
great deal to the public life. 1t con-
descends to their needs for color, va
riety, movement, in a way universal
among the Latin nations. Out Of doors
is merely their laIEer home. and they
expect to find adequate provision there
for every kind Of Enjoyment Our own
race tends to regard that domain as a
mere thoroughfare between the work
shop and the hregide, where all our
interests are conferred. If it serves
that purpose that rs about all we ask
Of it. 1t may be as ugly as it likes,
and, within certain limits of indul-
gence, almost as da'ty. To the French
man it is more than a place of transit;
1t Is almost a place of %sojourn. So the
Partisan common man has his share
Of the Champs Elysees and Of the
boulevards IN his freedom of access 20
their fountains and ~promenades, and
their bordering alleys Of tender green.
He comes downstairs to them, so to
speak, as soon as the scavengers have
done their timely work. He descends
to his th%oroughfare as the millionaire
expects to descend to his breakfast
room OF his study with all its appoint
ments fresh from the broom, and shin
ing in their brightness of metal ana
glass. So, whatever the gloom Of the
domestic prospect, his street helps him
to feel good. The beauty Of the stat
uary, Of the public buildings, is a
means to the same end. For nothing
the poorest Of poor devils may see the
glorious bronzes In the terrace garden
of the Tuileries, the outdoor figures Of
the Luxembourg, the great horses OF
the Place de la Concorde, the magnif-
cent compositions of the Arch. The
very lamp-pOst that will light his way
at nightfall serves the purpose of a
thing OF beauty all through the day.
Compare it with the English bar OF
cast-iron, hideous to the eye in form
and color, foul with the mudstains OF
years Of traffic. The Frenehmen must
have it shapely in its lines, a model Of
a good Renaissance ornament. in its
decorations, bronze in its material, an,
washed and polished every week or 81

WOMAN ON rHE BIKE
Some Rules That the Fair Sex should
Follow In Riding.

Some Rules That the Fair Sex should
Follow In Riding.
One of the first requisites, whether
the rider be delicate or strong, is mod
Grafton. Riding for speed subverts the
very end Of the -exercise-it is like row.
ing or running or doing anything else
for speed, it finally conquers the con-
queror-and the most sickoning, har-
rowing sight is the continuous race.
The association Of wheelmen should do
all in their power to suppress these
public exhibitions Of human idiocy.
Another essential, especially for wo-
men, is an appropriate dress, and there
is no law against a gentleman also
being appropriately dressed. l never
could understand why 1t was necessary
that a man should yea the garb OF
a circus clown in order to ride a wheel,
In the past year or two the women
have come nobly to the rescue in The
matter Of genteel dress. The short
hair, the blooiaer, and the chewing
gum have we'll nigh disappeared. The
plain cloth, medium length, medium
width gown is no hlndrance, and has
the further advantage and economy d
being a good rainy day gown for walk
ing. Another essential is to learn how
to ride. Many are riding without this
knowledge. There are few mechanical
principles to be observed. One Is to
have the gearing so arranged as to
have the pedals on a level with the
foot when the foot is extended. An
other is to have the saddle so placed
as to bring the weight Of the body d.
rectly over the pedal when the latter
is at its lowest point. Still another Is
to lower the handle bars sufficiently to
allow the body to bend forward slight
ly from the hips-not STOPPING rom
the shoulders, thereby COMPRISING the
lungs. Nearly all beginners bend the
spine backward from the hips. AS a
rule, young children, If the gearing
is correct, take the normal position.
Finally the rider should sit, as In a
chair, upon the bones OF tuberosities OF
the pelvis, and should, on no account,
allow the weight Of the body to rest
upon the tissues situated between
these bony prominences. Indeed, the
danger Of serious injury resulting to
children and adults from riding a sad
die constructed in ignorance Of cor
rect anatomical principles is so great
that It is always wise to refer the sad
die question to a competent physician.
Besides the very important question OF
saddle is that Of the wheel itself. 1t
must be thoroughly we'll made, Of the
best material, and it must not be too
light. Too light a wheel gains no
momentum to speak Of, while the jar
ring and vibration are very disagree
able, II not injurious. There must be
a certain weight and solidity. Finally.
the wheel by its economy Of money
and time permits the rider to avail
himself Of new scenes and places, Civ
ing ~pleasurable sensations. the absence
OF which IN exercise for the sake OF
health alone is the reason why health
seldom responds to the cali Of such
perfunctory exercise. The heart is NOT
IN it.-Leslie's Weekly.

A new and gay little suggestion for
a party. It is called a Left-Hand par
~, and the invitations must give no
hint of the ceremonies to be observed
during the evening. AS each guest ar
rives he is welcomed at the door By
the hostess, who offers her left hand.
He is then led away by a committee
and his right arm is bound up in a
sling. When all guests have been dis
abled IN this way the hostess arrangea
various contests to be waged with the
left hand only. For example, a writ
ing contest, which is sure to bring
%chirography. Arrange for a number
OF these contests. Provide a few sim
pie prizes, and your evening cannot
fail to be a thorough success.

The meridian Of Greenwich is gener-
ally accepted as the starting-line from
which to reckon longitude and time all
over the earth. But objections are.
from time to time raised against the
universal adoption Of the Greenwich
meridian for such purposes. Recently
Italian savants have emphasized these
objections by pointing out that on the
meridian Of Greenwich clouds and bad
weather are frequent, interfering with
astronomical observations. They sug-
sest that the civilized world should
agree to adopt the meridian of Jerusa-
lem as a common reference line, be-
aus there the skies are clearer, and
the possibility Of making Palestine
neutral territory would eliminate poll
itical objections.

After the unfortunate war in South
Africa is over, a scientific problem Of
much interest will be presented to the
engineers Of the Transvaal gold mines.
Some Of the shafts recently opened
on the Rand are expected to go down
1000 or 5000 feet in search Of gold
bearing veins, but in the future. Mr..
John Yates says, It may be necessary
70 descend 1900 feet. That, he thinks
will be about the limit of depth at
which men can work. because the tenn

thousand feet lower through the adop-
ton Of devices for cooling the air.

interference with shipping, It was
determined to place no structure in the
stream, or near its surface. Instead Of
a bridge in any OF the ordinary forms,
a horizontal flooring, sustained by
