BICYCLE EXERCISE.
it in a pity the swing of the pendu-
rliy the popularity of the bicycle. The
Immoderate rise, or rather abuse. of
the wheel undoubtedly did harm to
many weak hear;ts but for those who
use it sensibly there is a fund of health
in it that can be fotrnd in almost no
other popular form of exercise.
Golf is. no doubt, as useful as a
health~giver as it is facinating as a
pastime, btrt a game of golf is a more
formal undertaking for the city dwel-
ler,.and it often requires so much time
to go to and come from the iirrks that
only holidays or half-holidays are avail-
able for the purpose. The wheel, on
the other hand, is always ready. A
half-hour's spin can be taken every
day. when the weather permits, by
even the busiest.
it is especially as a heart and lung
exercise that wheeling is beneficial.
The muscular exercise involved in
moderate and not too rapid cycling is
just sufficient t induce stronger con-
tractions of the heart, and this of
course results in increased activity of
the circulation. More blood passes
through the lungs in a given time, and
so it is aerated more efficiently. At
the same time the heart muscle is
strengthened by its increased action.
in addition, the rapid movement in the
open air and the exhilaration of the ex-
ercise increase the rapidity and the
depth of the inspirations. the lungs
are expanded more fully. the air is forc-
ed into the smaller tubes and airvcells.
many of which are apt to be more or
less obstructed by little balls of mucus
especially after an attack of bronchitis
pleurisy or pneumonia.
Wheeling also stimulates the skin to
increased action which is of decided
benefit to the gouty and to person with
the so-called uric-acid diathesis.
But the dangers of bicycling must
not be lost sight of. The old or those
with seriously damaged heart or hi it
tle arteries had better avoid the
wheel: and there are others. even in
apparent health, in whom this exer~
cise however moderately taken. in-
creases enormously the rapidity of the
pulse. The other dangers leaving out
of account collisions, breaks and other
accidents are those incident to long
or rapid riding and hill- climbing. and
are easily avoided A ride of ten or
even twenty miles a day. on a decent
iy level road. at a gait of not more than
nine or ten miles an hour is for most
persons an excellent form of exercise

=(A. D. Muchadu in Royal Asiatic So-
ciety Journal.)
Some four years ago, when l was ctr-
gagcd in certain prospecting operations
in the highlands of l’uliung, on the bor-
ders of that state with Peruk. 1 bad oc-
casion to make a somewhat lengthy
stay at a place called Karrrpnr, on the
Tue River. one of the tributaries of the
Betok, in its turn a tributary of the
Jclai, the principal fetter of the. Pa-
hung River, 1 selected this spot be-
cause it hurl already been cleared of
large trees and had only been cleared
large trees and had only recently
been in occupation as a Sukul scitic-
merit, front the remains art which We
rcur'trd our unpretentious little camp.
The Sakuis, however. strongly advised
us to go elsewhere, alleging that this
place was haunted by elephant ghosts,
and that they had been the. direct
cause of a number of deaths, principal-
ly sarong their children, whose re-
mains lie buried there.
it is necessary to explain tlrat at the
back of this place, not fifty yards away,
is to be seen one of those peculiar
muddy pools which animals of all kinds
frequent for their saline properties.
this particular one being known as the
Kubung Bajah litrntu (the nrrrd pool of
the ghostly elephants). These stilt
lakes are also known as geuuts in Mu-
lay. When the Snknis refer to this
place it is usually with butcd breath.
and a mysterious and awesome ges-
ture. These men declared that almost
nightly elephants are seen and heard
breaking twigs and branches and wal—
lowing in this mud pool. and yet in
the morning not a vestige of their
their spoor can bcs seen anywhere. ()I‘
this i am c'.ertain the prlrrts of deer
and pigs were always plentiful and
fresh, but no elephant corrld have been
within miles of the place during my
residence in that locality. My man.
dor's wife, an oltlish person. who al-
ways followed her husband in his
journeys, doing the cooking for my fol~
lowers. declared that the first night We
slept there she and all my men heard
continued, long drawn walls. like a
long wee~e~e—o. which went on wiurotrt
intermission until utmost daylight.
This noise. they said. came from those
Sakai children buried there.
The account is interesting from an
ethnological standpoint in so far as it
lliustratets the beliefs and supersti-
tions of a race of very primitive peo-
ple. As for the number of children dy-
ing at the time, this would only seem
natural when it is remembered that an
epidemic of measles was tlieu and had
been for some time raging.
NOT EAXCTLV HELPLESS.
Some few people still cherish the
idea that all women are absolutely
helpless in business matters and that
they are so lacking in financial ability
that they can not safely be trusted to
handle money.
Mr. Black beltinged to this class. He
had been in the habit of paying all the
household bills at the end of each
month and his wife, although allowed
unlimited credit, had never had an al-
lowance. One day the Blacks hap-
pened to be passing the comparatively
new brillding in which the bank was
situated.
“Do you know, .iohn." remarked Mrs,
Black. “1 have actually never been in-
side the bank since it was built more
than two years ago."
"You haven‘t." exclaimed John. “if
that is the case i gtresn i had better
give you a check this month and let
you pay the bills. Do you think you
would know how to cash it?"
Mrs. Black received the check. That
evening Mr. Black asked not without
sarcasm if she had succeeded in in-
dorsing it properly.
"Oh yes' returned Mrs.
cheerfully.
“How many bills did you pay?"
“None—it seemed a pity to waste. all
that money paying bills."
“Then what in the world did you do
with it?"
“Oh." returned the little woman as»
renely. “i just depoaited it to my own
account.”
