MUSIC TO HEAL WOUNDS.

ton to the subject of vibrations secured

| Over score of riders have broken
their collar tcnes during the cycle
racing season of 1902. and two riders
have been killed following this danger
GUS vocation. Some riders have broken
their collar bones twice. All of these
injured have been riders of single ma
chimes. Motormen have escaped acci
dents this season owing to the extreme
caution they have exercised.
Numerous falls of motors have oc-
Cured, and riders have heen cut. or lost
lot of skin. but have been able to con-
tinue their work. Many OF the accidents
to riders OF single wheels have been
caused by the explosion of racing tires
brought about by the wear and tear of

 @ Tt is ill the country that the oil stove is seen to-day ill all it's splendor. In the city it is identified with the hall bedroom and the skylight room, but i'll the country it rises to the dignity of the parIor
 ''Ihe popularity of this odorous com modity in rural districts is due to the scarcity of wood and the high price ot coal. 1t has been several years since the real wood fire has tiourished in it's prestine glory.
 Except in the most remote country districts timber has been too scarce to use as a generator of heat. Gradually the cavernous fireplaces were super seded by grates and i'll the cooking stoves wood gave place to soft coal. But now the oil stove has it's inning ''The stove known to hall bedroom habituas is mere toy compared with the mammoth heater found i'll country homes. They demand the very best thing on the market. and country store keepers carry a line of stoves that for size and improvements cannot be ex- celled in city hardware store.
 Admirers of the oil stove claim that l it has several advantages over the coal stove and grate. It is more economi- cal, it is portable, and it saves labor. 1 When I was on my last trip west put l up with scores of country families over night, and in every house l found an oil stove.
 we ate to the accompaniment of the sputtering of wick, we talked in an atmosphere heavy with the fumSj of oil, and the daughter of the house, instead of reading her fortune in the glowing coals as i'll the old-fashioned novel, entertains her callers in up-to- date style around the coal oil stove.
 How long the oil stove fad will last

 but at present it is certainly raging
