CYCLING FAD BEING REVIVED
Many Persons Who Had Forgotten All About Bicycles Have Taken to
 Riding Them Again.

There has come fad for bicycling again. Not very full-grown fad, to be sure, but still good many persons who had forgotten all about bicycles or else hardly knew of them have taken to riding them.
 And 1t is rather interesting to note comment that was made some 20 years ago, when we took up bicycling so very seriously. It was this: That bicycling has done as much harm to the habit of good reading as it had done good to the health of bicyclers.
 Nowadays there are so many other things to blame for our loss of the habit of good reading. The moving pictures, of course, come in for their share of blame. And then all our out dCor sports must also take the time that We might otherwise feel disposed to devote to reading. Perhaps If we could go back to the miG-Nictoran habits of women, before outdoor sports were the fashion. We should do much more substantial reading Perhaps not Perhaps we have learned to do more things than we used to do and per hapS We are better read today than we used to be.
 It would take good deal of care ful work to find out.-Exchange.

NATIONAL HERO OF SERBIA
From Sleep of Centuries to Lead Them to Victory.

Not far above Monastir Is Prllp, and in the hills over Phillip Prince Mar!lO has slept in his cave for cen turieS. He is the national hero of Ser Ia. The story tellors told of his ex- poits in the village squares over night while peace reigned, says Herbert Carey in the Saturday Evening Post. The day came when Prince MarkO found that life weared him; and so he rode his white horse into the cavern, laid his golden mace down for a pillow and thrust his sword into the rock, and went tc sleep.
 ''So the moss grew over the sword" the Serbian soldiers say. But each day Sharatz nibbled patiently at the moss, and little by little the rock was worn away. At last the sword fell, and the clang of 1t awakened MarkO; and he leaped on his horse and led us to victory at the battle of Prillip in 1912"

Simplicity.

Simplicity is not so simple quality as the word may seem to imply. It is not attained by elimination of desire. Life is not simplified by becoming bar ren. Simplicity means, not meager- ness, but singleness; the simplifying, not of the content of life, but of the direction of life. It Is better known as singlemindedness, the uncomplicated directness of life which moves to- ward q thoroughly determined end.
