Keeping the hat on tires the legs of
wheel women" That is the way one
woman rider has summed up one Of the
commonest complaints of her sex who
ride wheels. The man who will invent
some head-dress for wheelwomen that
can be made fast without regard to the
amount of hair or style of wearing il
will probably get rich, IL the hat is
something that looks dressy and not
Common or "mannish." The effort
to keep their hats on" makes many
women work harder than the variation
of grades. About the only kind Of hat
that can be fastened so they will not
lift with every puff OF breeze are those
worn by men or little Tam O'Shanters
or something of the kind, and many
women avoid these because they look
"dinky" and tough. The Importance of
this matter was brought out by the
woman who made the original remark
quoted, when, in explaining 1t she said:
"It is a fact. Keeping her hat on
straight tires a woman more than
climbing hills. There are many wheel
women who can climb hills, but none
who is good at riding against the
wind. There is a straining Of the neck
and spine and whole body and a wor
riment about keeping the hat on that
exhausts a woman more than the ac-
tual work of pedaling A great many
women know this, but some do not.
They cannot understand why they tire
so quickly on breezy days. They should
know. / never have any comfort rid
ing till | take off my hat and I always
do 1t as soon as 1 get out of the city.
l have thought and thosght without
being able to plan out a hat that can
be made fast and yet is not objection
able on account of looks. The little cap
is the nearest to practical purposes, but
most women won't wear it,"

Dr.. Miles Nerv1ne

II was troubled with severe nervousness,
and after retiring at night would be very
restless and unable to sleep. l would have
nervous twitchings all over my body which
were very distressing and became weak
and run down from lack of sleep and rest. l
commenced using DR.. Miles Nervine and il
gave me immediate relief. After using it a
few days could go to bed and sleep sound
ly all night and awake in the morning feel
ing refreshed and rested. After taking Sc
eral bottles my health was entirely restored,
but always keep bottle in the house and
take dose when l am very tired. always
recommend DR.. Miles Nervine to anyone
complaining of loss of sleep or restlessness,
and have heard many praise the remedy for
the good it does"

cYcLING's GREATEST EVIL,
The Wheelman's Hunch as a Speeta.
Gle and a Health Destroyer.

"Wheelman's Hunch" is the subject
Of a paper by Chicago physician. He
says it is a menace to health and has
become a serious evil of cycle riding.
"All pastimes probably have their
physical debt, which must be paid.
The physical debt of football, IL moth
ing more serious happens, is as often
as not broken knee, that OF tennis q
tennis elbow, that Of riding ten
dency to handy legs, and SO forth. And
it must be conceded that in similar
degree the physical debt of cycling Is
an ungraceful rotundity Of the back,
which bids fair. under present circum-
stances, TO deprive the young men OF
the present generation of any claim to
that gracefulness of form inseparably
connected with an upright figure as a
well-expanded and prominent chest.
Apart altogether from a health
point of view, nothing could be more
thoroughly inartistic than the attitudes
assumed by the rank and file of wheel
men. With arms outstretched and ell
bows ungainly projecting, with slouch-
ing shoulders and back curved to the
arch of a harp, with heads thrown
back to an acute angle-these are sew
eral of the features of the riders which
attract the attention Of the observant
spectator at a modern cycling meet.
ITO say that such spectacle is
melancholy one is by no means to ex-
aggerate the truth. In the best sense
of the word the sight is melancholy
one to witness the sacrifice of 30 much
gracefulness, which naturally belongs
to the human form divine, by the pur
suit of a pastime which in all other re-
spects has everything to commend it.
But how will this perversion of ply
sique end? The devotees of wheeling
now include very large proportion Of
the rising generation of young men.
and the question Is, therefore, one
which can scarcely be ignored. in view
of the fact that in process of time some
defect of form originated by this means
may be transformed into an acquired
characteristic of the race, which is an
exceedingly unpleasant prospect to
look forward to.
Unfortunately the attitude adapted
by cyclists is the direct antithesis of
that which creates straightness Of fig
ure and prominence of chest, and yet
both of these characteristics are in
separable from a gracefulness of form,
a manly presence and an attractive
personality. Under present circum-
stances a man can never look his best
on a bicycle.
1T would seem that for many rea-
sons bicycle manufacturers should put
their heads together for the purpose
of introducing machine which would
tend to make cyclists adapt an attitude
when riding by which both health and
physique would be improved to a great
er extent than can be the case at
present"

Nerves that jump at every sudden
noise; nerves that keep you awake at
night; nerves that make your back
ache, your heart palpitate and your
temples throb; nerves that are tired,
weak, irritable, and restless; these
are the poverty-stricken, exhausted,
starving sort Of nerves that make all
the trouble.
Poverty of nerves destroys your ap-
petite, deranges your digestion, dis
turbs your heart and weakens your
body. Poverty of nerves depresses
your spirits, makes you fretful, care
worn, worried, melancholy and des-
pondent. To brighten your spirits,
rest your mind and revive your flag
ging energies, the hungry nerves
must be fed, built up and strength

just Cause for Complaint.
, Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
The representative bodies OF news
paper publishers in Pennsylvania have
adopted resolutions OF protest against
the extraordinary advance in price of
paper stock, and the county town
journals generally reflect unhappy senti-
ments over the changed condition.
And 1t is natural they should, for it is
rare that business class is called upon
to meet so marked an increase in the
running expenses of a principal requisite
as has been imposed upon the press.
To make this clearer to the reading
public, comparative prices are edifying.
Ordinary news paper that in Septem ber
OF last year could be bought for 81. so
per hundred weight, In car lots, is now
quoted at 50, an advance of 662% per
cent. Next to labor the greatest item
OF expense to publishers is the amount
paid for paper, and those familiar with
the large quantity used, even by country
town dailies and weeklies, can appreci-
ate what so decided an advance In the
price OF paper stock means.

Notwithstanding the indignant de-
mails on the floor of the house by Cen
eral Grosvenor, and other admnistra-
tion men, OF the charge made by Rob-
erts, that Utah polygamsts had been
appointed to federal Offices by Mr..
Mckinley, the house committee on
postof1ices, which has been investigat-
ing, now has to report 10 the house that
Postmaster Graham, OF Provo, had an
indictment for polygamy hanging over
him when he was appointed In order
to soften this proof of the charge OF
Roberts, the committee accompanies it
with statement from the prosecuting
attorney of Salt Lake City, saying that
for different reasons it is not likely that
Graham will be brought to trial under
that indictment. 1t is probable that
the wishes Of the Mckinley administra-
tion are among those "reasons" for not
trying to convict the polygamist post
master.

1t is only by the magnanimity of
Senator Allen, that yesterdays Congress
stonat Record does not place the senate
on record as sympathizing with the

ment should offer meditation. Senator
Allen offered resolution to that effect
and, through the absence of some
senators and indifference of others, it
was put before the senate and declared
adopted without dissenting vote. AS
soon as they realized what had been
done, the administration senators
fiocked upon the floor. The yeas and
nays were demanded, but Mr.. Alien
objected, and the objection was sus-
tained. Later, Senator Allen good
naturedly agreed that the vote should
be reconsidered and the resolution sent

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, February 10, 19C

Washington, February 10, 1900.
The attitude OF the Democrats In
congress, as a party, towards the Mica
ragua canal treaty, which the admins
tration has negotiated with England
and sent to the senate, and the Porto
Rico tariff bill, which has been reported
to the house, and will be taken up this
week and jammed through as a party
measure, is thoroughly American, and
consequently right. The treaty gives
more than it provides for our receiving.
1t allows us to build canal with our
money, provided we agree to let every
nation in the world, even those we may
happen to have war with, have exactly
the same privilege we take for ourselves
in using it. That isn't the old Demo-
cratic idea OF American control OF the
canal, and it is really surprising that
there is single Democratic senator
who is willing to vote for the ratifica-
tion of the treaty. One of the strongest
arguments in favor of the construction
of the canal has been the advantage it
would give us in war with a foreign
power Under the present treaty we
should have no advantage, as our
enemies could make just the same use
of the canal.

Imperialism is the real question in
volved in the Porto RicanY tariff bill
1t makes one of the issues upon which
this years presidential campaign will be
waged. The Republicans in their
report upon this bill, which imposes a
% per cent duty on Porto Rican prod
ucts, have come out tlat-footed in
favor of ignoring the constitution, and
OF having congress assume tho authority
to deal with the territory recently ac-
qured by the United States as colonies,
and with their people as subjects. The
Democrats contend that the constitution
is the supreme law of this republic, and
that it recognizes neither colonies moi
subjects; that every foot of ground
belonging to the United States is a
part of the United States and every
resident OF territory belonging to the
United States, citizen. The impe-
rialsts have the votes to win in con.
gress, but it remains to be seen whether
they can win before the people.

the strongest language possible.
This proposition has for its es-
sence the policy Of s'free and un-
limited coinage"- the ratio is a
secondary consideration. It means
the coinage on private account of
As cents worth of silver into legal
tender dollars, nominally worth 100
cents-the profit accruing to the
owner of the silver. Coinage OF
silver under existing law, as Mr..
Bryan very well knows is a propo.
sition as unlike this as free trade IS
unlike protection.
The government coins only as
manv dollars as can safely enter
into general circulation without de-
probation, and whatever profit
may accrue belongs to the govern
ment. In other words the coinage
| is not free. but limited, controlled
! in volume by the government, and
the silver is purchased at market
value. and not at its coinage value,
which is more than double the
market value. And yet, Mr.. Bryan
has the open audacity and inferen-
tiaI mendacity to say-as he did in
a speech in Delaware last week, in
reply to the question, ''HoW about
is to n"
eff you want to know about Is tol /
will tell you. Sixteen to oneswas. the
paramount issue in 1895, but the Re-
publicans have done so mahy mean
things since then that we are kept
busy on the new things. Butif a Re-
publican disputes the Is to doctrine,
YOU tell him that we have a Republic
can president, a Republican senate
and a Republican house and they
have never attempted to change the Is
to ratio, and Mr.. Mckinley lie now
coming silver dollars at the ratio of
10 to without awaiting for the aid or
consent of any other nation on earth.
Until the Republican party proposes
to change the ratio, l object to their
discussing the ratio. When they pro-
pose to change it, we will discuss it
with them.
Mr.. Bryan knows very well that
his reply is an evasion of ques-
|,tion which he dare not frankly
answer. 1t has been put to HMM
various forms, and every time he
has lodged it with some Such
miserable demagogic utteranceS as
the one above quoted. 81
In 1896 he was credited with the
courage of his mistaken conVic-
tions-in 1900 he is a political
coward.
